"Good morning." Gina greeted her employees as soon as she walked into her boutique, taking all of them by surpise... She had a smile on her face as she walked past them... she was in a good mood, and it was definitely a really rare sight for them... "Did something good happen to her... I can't remember the last time she looked so happy," one of her employees muttered to the other... "Get back to work," Clara said to them, and they immediately scrurried away... Gina hummed a song as she sat down in her office, a lingering smile still on her face... the way Charles held her in his arms kept replaying in her mind, and she couldn't stop smiling... that giddy feeling was still there even though she wasn't with him... and it was wonderful, just wonderful... She never knew someone could feel such type of happiness and it was an happiness she wanted to last, but at the back of her mind Gina was sad and scared that her new found happiness wasn't going to last long.... The smile on he
Alex took Juliet's hand in his when they arrived at her house... and he squeezed it a little in support as they walked to her front door... "We could come back another time if you want," Alex suggested, but she shook her head... she needed to take a few things from her house also and didn't want to keep procrastinating... she also wanted to see the state of her house was left in... "No, I need to take a few things too," She answered, and Alex nodded... Juliet saw that her front door lock at being changed to a smart lock, and her windows were in the process of being replaced... Alex opened the door for the both of them, and Juliet was expecting to see a scattered house like she had seen in the pictures Alex had showed but it was the exact opposite... Her house had been arranged neatly and everything was in order... she turned to look at Alex and smiled at him because she knew it was doing... "I should check the bedroom," She said, and Alex nodded. He let go of her hand and walked away
After looking around her house a little more, Juliet realised that nothing seemed to be missing. She kept the letter in her jacket pocket and didn't read anymore from it... she decided to wait till they got back to the apartment. Alex held her hand in support, and Juliet felt her eyes water up again, but she blinked back her tears and turned to look out the window... she was sad it took her so long to find her mother's letter... but it also warmed her heart to know that she left her such a letter. When they arrived, Alex gave her a warm hug before giving her some space he knew she needed... Juliet sat on her bed for a few minutes before she finally opened the letter... juliet read through the letter silently she didn't cry or say a single word till she was done... she closed the letter when she was done and placed it back in its envelope neatly... it took her a while before the contents of the letter finally sunk in... She stood up and started to pace around her room... how could
Charles sat in a restaurant waiting for Gina to arrive he had a lingering smile on his face and he kept humming a song... she was a few minutes late but he didn't care, he was ready to wait for as long as needed if meant he had to see her and be with her... "Would you like anything sir" A waitress who had approached asked... she had a bright smile on her face but Charlie didn't care about that, there was only one person on his mind and he was sure she wasn't leaving his mind anytime soon... "Nothing I'm fine" He answered... the waitress almost winked at him, but didn't when Charles refused to look at her and pay her any attention... she left with a frown on her face and the frown deepened when she saw his face lighten up because of the woman who had walked through the entrance... Charles's face immediately lightened up when she walked in... her eyes scanning around till they landed on him... he immediately smiled at her but she didn't smile back at him, she looked a bit tired... "I'
"Good morning" Olivia greeted Patrick when she arrived at work to see him there pretty early... "Good morning" He responded and smiled slightly... She swallowed as she sat down beside him... they had been so busy with work that they barely had time for interacting... even after a few weeks had passed she couldn't stop thinking about the interaction they had that one time and days after that her feelings for him seemed to increase... "You are pretty early today, Mr Graham won't be coming in for a few hours" She started up a conversation... Patrick who was trying his best to control his racing heart finally turned to look at her and their gazes locked... Patrick broke the gaze and cleared his throat... he had no idea her eyes were this mesmerising and her slight smile tugged at iheartstringsngs... maybe he shouldn't have come to work early... "I had some work that I needed to finish up this morning" He lied... the only reason he had come early was to see her before their day became t
"What! What do you mean they are staying together at his apartment!" Michelle yelled out her eyes filled with anger and shock because of what she had just found out... She stood up and started to pace around her living room... "What if she gets pregnant and tries to trap my son? what happens then... what is happening to Alex... what is she doing to him..." Michelle said to herself in a low voice... she had decided not to intervene thinking things would naturally dry out between the both of them, but now Alex moved her into his Penthouse... what would be next? The estate? Then, he would introduce her as his fiance... she felt a headache starting to rise in her head... "I'm going out get the car ready," She instructed... her P. A immediately left to do as she was told and Gwen came into the living room to see her boss looking mad... "Are you alright ma'am?" Gwen asked, and Michelle shook her head and sighed deeply... "No, I'm not Gwen... Alex might try to get married to that...thin
An hour later when Alex arrived at the apartment, Juliet was still seated in the same spot Michelle had left her... she didn't notice him until she felt a presence close to her... she raised her head to look at him and he had a smile on his face... "What are you thinking so intently about that you didn't even notice me coming in" Alex asked, he had brought lunch for the both of them but Juliet had completely lost her appetite... she had waited for him to come so she could ask him about what his mother had told her, but now that he was standing in front of her she felt like a cat had caught her tongue... "Are you alright?" Alex said, becoming a little worried... "I'm fine, I'm just..." Juliet trailed off and swallowed... she stood up and walked away towards the kitchen Alex following behind her... she poured herself a glass of water and drank it in one go to calm herself... Juliet took a deep breath before turning to look at Alex who was standing behind her, his eyes filled with co
"Aren't you going to go back to work?" Juliet said to Alex about an hour after they had had lunch... Everything felt less tense now between them thankfully and Alex was seated in the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand, feeling more than hesitant to go back to work even though he had a meeting soon... He wanted to stay home with her so they could spend the rest of the day together... "Do you want me to go back?" Alex asked her when she sat a bit close to him with her cup of coffee... Juliet didn't know what to say to him, so she simply sighed deeply.. "Just a second," Alex said and picked up his phone from the table... Juliet's curious eyes were on him as he called up someone... "Cancel all my schedule for the rest of the day, I'm not coming back" Alex instructed as soon as the call was answered and he ended the call when he was done with what he had to say... A slight smile appeared on Juliet's face, and Alex didn't miss it... "Are you glad?" He said in a teasing voice,
