After having breakfast with Amanda, Eric went to work early. They were going to have a company meeting concerning the contract preparation. He had decided to be very strict this time around to avoid mistakes.Anyone who messes with the contract documents this time around will receive his wrath. All the workers gathered in regard to the meeting including his secretary and his Assistant.He made sure there was no device to record their conversation and had the doors closed.He exchanged greetings with everyone before he cleared his throat and proceeded to state what the meeting they were having was all about."Once again this year, we have gotten another offer to join a competition regarding a huge contract which will elevate the success of this company, and with me here are the contract documents. Everything is included in it, all we have to do is to bring up our ideas and put them together to achieve something," he said and looked at everyone in the hall to make sure they were paying
Eric walked to the living room to check the news just as Marcus had said on the phone. He saw the picture of him and Sophia kissing and holding hands in the cafe on the screen. The News channel was reporting about him and his ex-wife being captured in a cafe together after many years of them being apart and his ex-wife being abroad.Eric got mad as he knew it was the work of Sophia. She had purposely done all she did in the cafe to make them become headlines again so people would think they never stopped seeing each other.He groaned and kicked a couch before he started heading upstairs to his room. On getting to his room, he picked up his cell phone and saw many notifications on his screen, they were all about him and Sophia which got him very annoyed.He threw the cell phone away and sat down to think of what to do. He wasn't smart and had been taken advantage of by Sophia again. He knew that no matter the amount of explanation he would give to the media, it would not clear everythi
Sophia happily celebrated her victory while watching the ongoing commotion of the reporters she had paid to escalate the the matter was creating. It left her feeling very happy and satisfied with it.She drank with David Anderson in the garden while they laughed and got lovey dovey with each other.Sophia couldn't stop applauding herself for a job well done as she felt that Eric deserved what she did to him. She wasn't done yet and would be doing more.She was particularly pissed with her knowing that he has another woman in his life, she would make sure she scatters their relationship which she feels shouldn't hold because Eric doesn't deserve to move on and forget about her easily. She still wants him on his knees, begging her to come back.She scoffed as she thought about how Amanda would be reacting to the news which was all over the place.She wondered how she was going to feel. She laughed as she thought about how sour their relationship would be now, and if the woman is the con
The next day, Amanda refused to talk to Eric. She didn't see any reason to do so because she was still feeling hurt by what she saw on the internet. The news had popped up on her phone on its own because anything concerning Eric was a global matter that reporters don't joke with.She had been surprised at first when she saw it. She had to open the link to the news. The pictures attached to it left her shattered, used, and broken. "How could Eric do such a thing to her? He was publicly seeing and kissing his ex-wife which the camera had captured. She wondered how long they had been seeing each other.She concluded he had been using her because of James who got close to him because of her. Amanda felt tears running down her eyes as she thought more about everything.She heard him knock yesterday at the door, calling out her name and asking her to open the door but she refused because she didn't see any reason why she should do so.She didn't want to see his face and listen to whatever
After the discussion with Harvey. Amanda went back home with a heavy heart. All through the journey home she thought about everything with confusion.She had always thought that Eric loved her not because she had mended his relationship with his son but because he got attracted to her personality but all was a lie. He was only pretending to like her just to mess her up and use her to keep his good relationship with James going because, without her, they might go back to how they used to be.She wiped off the tears running down her cheeks for the fifth time. She looked outside the window regretting why she had jumped into loving again after her relationship with Kelvin crashed.When she got home, she met James and Eric having dinner together. James stood up and rushed towards her when he sighted her."Aunty Amanda, you are back. I have been waiting for you," James said as he walked up to her."Oh, I am sorry for keeping you waiting. I had an important place to be," Amanda replied with
Amanda walked back to her room, still on call with Juliet. She sat on her bed after taking a bottle of water from the fridge."Are you still staying at his place? Do you think it is the right thing to do," Juliet asked Amanda worriedly."You mean, living together with him?" Amanda asked, as she totally understood that Juliet was talking about Eric. She had told her about him."Of course, you shouldn't. You can stay over for some days but don't live with him. Since you were forced to leave your apartment because of the attacks and threats you got. You should look for another place to stay," Juliet said over the phone."I will think about it. I have already started planning on moving out of his place," Amanda said, not telling her what the reason was for her decision."Okay," Juliet replied."What about Kelvin? Have you told him about the good news?" Amanda asked her."He hasn't taken my calls for months now. So calling him wouldn't change anything, he wouldn't pick up nor return my cal
Marcus confirmed everything that Harvey said. Amanda, who had been having some doubts about it, had to believe it. She was forced to believe it since Marcus, who was Eric's best friend, had confirmed it. It made the remaining pieces of her heart shatter and she started crying.Marcus felt bad about everything, he had warned Eric about all of this but he never believed. He was always stubborn and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.Marcus sighed sadly regretting why he had told Amanda everything but she believed she had the right to know about everything even as Eric had been keeping it away from her. If he had told her himself about his past life before this incident, she wouldn't feel it and would even stand by him and help him go through it."Is that all you have to say?" Amanda asked Marcus. He looked up at her and saw that she had stopped crying even as her eyes were red."We should stop here Amanda. It is enough," Marcus said to her, feeling pity for her."No, I want to know ever
After standing there for a while. Amanda went back home to pack her bags and leave because she didn't want James to notice her mood. She decided to take him out.It might be the last, she didn't want to leave without having a good time with him, at least for the last time.She decided to take him to a garden and informed him. He was so happy about it. It was a large garden she had taken her students to in the past. They came to see various types of plants and flowers.James contacted his driver who was going to drive them there.When they got close to the garden, Amanda didn't want to walk into the garden in a sour mood and ruin their outing. She let out a deep sigh which caused James to look at her but didn't pay any heed to her.Soon, the driver drove into the parking lot of the large garden. Just a few cars could be seen there and James was happy that there were only a few people in the garden.He was quick to get out of the car and then walked elegantly toward the other side. He h
