In Love With You 56. The conference
Drew knocked on the door before he came in, he quickly analyzed Jake's glare the moment he entered, noticing Jake was not as much in a sour mood as earlier but decided to go on with what he came to tell him to avoid bringing it back "Sir, the president is here and is on her way to your office."As soon as he finished that sentence of his, he opened the door when he heard footsteps approaching the office. Gemma walked in with Edward; her assistant holding her bag for her. Victoria saw her in a different look for the first time. She wasn't in one of her usual and similar white apparel, she looked more bossy than Victoria had seen before in the white suit she had on. T"Is she here yet?" Gemma asked Jake who still sat comfortably in his chair."Mhmnn." Jake nodded looking in Victoria's direction.Victoria stood with everyone in the office looking at her. Gemma smiled but she(Victoria) couldn't tell if she was smiling at her or just smiling after knowing she was there already."We can s

Gemma smiled after the man spoke, she understood that he had just been calculative at that point, he was in support of her stepping down and Jake taking over. He was one of the oldest members of the board, he was there when Jack Topher was still in charge and just like every other person seated at that table he was after the position Gemma held but he was smarter than most of them were. He had long realized that trying to overrun Gemma off her position was impossible and it would be harder with Jake so he lowered his ambition, he knew that once Gemma wasn't the head anymore, Jake would become the member with the highest share and he had a chance to buy more shares to become the second highest.Gregory's plan was different, he mostly didn't care at this point, he knew Gemma didn't trust him and Jake didn't either so he was direct like Max whenever he wanted to oppose any decisions made by them(Jake and his mother).He(Gregory) has been after the position of president since Jake's fath

"I'm Max, your brother-in-law.""I figured," Victoria said."You both have look alike.""Let me apologize for what I said during the meeting, it's just that I couldn't find it true that this union between you two is genuine, I mean there hasn't been a woman with a romantic interest in his life before now and suddenly he is married, I hope you understand." Max went on despite the dangerous eyes Jake had on him while he spoke."We were actually in a...uhm, a quiet relationship before we decided to go ahead and get married," Victoria said hoping she was doing a good job at defending their sudden secret marriage but thinking about it after she spoke, it occurred to her that if what she said was actually true then he(Max) would know about her."Really, Jake didn't even bother to introduce me to the love of his life." Max sounded like he knew she just lied and he did but was only giving a snide reply."I didn't bother introducing my wife to you because I figured you already knew about her,"

Victoria watched Amber smile weirdly when she saw Jake. She hoped her friend didn't say anything embarrassing as they walked towards where he stood.Jake left the garden before they could get to him, he didn't want to be close to Amber by any means so he left. He came back early, he planned to still return to the office but he thought to get some rest first. He could do that at the office but he most importantly wanted to see Victoria, that was his primary reason for returning home not to rest. When he asked of Victoria, Felix informed him that she was in the garden with a friend and he knew it was Amber, her blonde-haired friend, it had to be her, she was the only person he knew Victoria trusted with their secret marriage.Victoria didn't see him when she walked out of the garden with Amber, it was like he disappeared because he just left when they were about to get to where he was so they should have seen him when they left the garden. ‘he must have gone inside.’ Victoria thought

Taking her lower lip first, he kissed her, pecking her chin region right below her lips before kissing her full lips again. He had closed his eyes the moment his lips touched hers and so couldn't see the bewilderment on Victoria's face. She wouldn't admit it to herself but it felt good, maybe it was because she hadn't kissed someone for a long time but she had kissed him before and she was feeling like she felt back then. He was a good kisser, he took his time to explore every part of her lips and his tongue wasn't rough in her mouth, he was so gentle that she didn't know when she had her eyes closed too. She wasn't kissing back but she let him continue. He would have stopped but when he noticed that she wasn't stopping him, he continued, stealing her breath as he kissed her more. When he finally separated his lips from hers, he met her eyes again they still looked confused. "Am I gay?" He asked her in his usual low deep voice and she shook her head slowly. She was lookin

"Dinner is ready, Mrs Topher." He said to her. "Is Jake downstairs?" "Yes, Mrs Topher." "He is, huh?" Felix nodded to the second question. "He was the one who had me come get you, after the helper I sent returned without you." "I see," She said, her mind thinking of what to do, she needed to show Jake that she was angry about what happened so he didn't repeat it."I'll be there soon." Going down the stairs, she saw Jake seated at the head of the table and as usual, she went all the way to the other end and took a seat, his eyes on her the whole time. He saw that she wasn't all smiley with the helpers when her dinner was brought, it was obvious she was displeased with what he did earlier, she wasn't even looking at him. Don't look, Tori. Don't look. She told herself as she forked some salad into her mouth, she suddenly didn't want to be angry anymore now that she was here seated at the same table with him. She was avoiding looking at him, hoping she could pull it off; pret

"Do you think you can use any of these?" Felix asked when she came to where he stood and looked into the pan full of vegetables."Is there any reason I can't use them?" She asked still peering into the pan because they all looked fresh and okay."Not really, it's just that we don't use these things after they become a day old, the chefs get new and fresh vegetables every day.""Every day? It doesn't look bad?" Victoria took one of the red and round tomatoes, looking at it."Maybe I could ask someone to go get you fresh ones...""No," She refused immediately."they look pretty fresh to me. Thanks." She said and Felix smiled, happy that he had tried his best to please her before he left.When he walked out of the kitchen he saw Jake arrive downstairs. Jake was about to retire to bed after his extra time spent at his home office when he noticed that the kitchen lights were on and someone had to be there, it was the only place with bright light downstairs."Why are you still awake?" Jake a

Jake started to chop the carrots in equal and little box shapes. He turned to where she stood next to him sharing the long chopping board as she sliced onions, he saw her clean her eyes with the back of her palms repeatedly, he knew the onions were most likely making her eyes teary and wanted to be the one to cut them but she had said she preferred them diced in a specific way.Victoria suddenly dropped the knife on the board and ran to the sink. Jake stopped what he was doing and joined her in the sink where she was washing her hands."Did you cut your finger?" He asked taking both her hands away from under the running water before he began examining her fingers, then her palm, he was checking her whole hand. She watched him continue to check her fingers and she smiled, thinking he was being dramatic worrying about her getting a cut."No, I didn't." She took her hands back from his hold. She took some water from the opened fancy faucet and splashed it over her face, her eyes particul

"So, how's my brother-in-law doing?" "O my god, Amber, it's just for some months," Victoria told her friend and heard her laugh out loud over the phone."Mark my words, it's gonna be longer than that, way longer. I know love when I see it.""Here we go again.""You know I have a way to detect love when I see it.""And is that because he's billionaire Jake Topher?" Victoria laughed back before getting a knock on the door."Who is it?! Cora? Emily?" She asked, but when she didn't get a response, she decided to go for the door, leaving her phone on the bed."Give me a second, Amber,""Alright..." Amber replied to Victoria who was already by the door."Emily, I told you already, I eat all the types of fruits, so anyone you use to make my fruit salad is okay." Victoria started to talk before opening the door."Please don't come up to ask me again," She said on opening the door but saw that it wasn't Emily and neither was it Cora."Are you busy right now?" Jake asked her when she stood for s

"How did I? I guess I have a superpower, like you do" he reminded her of what she told him yesterday when they were alone in the kitchen.She laughed shortly."Okay, let's do this..." She had an idea to get him to tell her more of the things she wanted to know about him."How about I tell you about my grandma and our not-so-good relationship and then you tell me about you and your mother, and maybe your brother too?"Jake nodded. He didn't need her to tell him about her grandma because he knew her well, he knew about her relationship with her grandma but yet he nodded, anything to please her."Okay, I'll start." Victoria smiled. "My grandma is a nice woman, the nicest, I love my nana but...I haven't been on good terms with her since I turned eighteen, I mean there were a lot of things that led up to that but when I became eighteen, it kinda got out of hand." She paused and looked up from fiddling with her dish. After seeing that he was listening, she continued."I was in my Nana's roo

At the Topher mansion. Victoria was in her room taking a quick shower while Jake immediately went to the kitchen to do what she wanted him to do; cook. "Master?" Felix walked into the kitchen when he was walking by and saw Jake there. "Do you need the chef? I'll get him right away." "No. I don't need him, Felix." "Oh." Felix looked around for a bit, not wanting to ask Jake directly what he was doing in the kitchen if he didn't want the chef present for his orders. "I want to cook for my wife," Jake helped him out. "Oh," Felix said again. He wasn't surprised, he knew Jake cooked with her the previous night. "Do you need me to..." "No." "Okay." Felix left. Alone now, it occurred to Jake that he didn't even know what Victoria wanted to eat, he couldn't make a meal if he didn't know what she would like to eat. He knew he had to go up and ask her. He knocked on her room's door but didn't get a come-in like he expected so he knocked again. "Who is it?" He heard her as
In Love With You 70. Cook for me
"Why did you let someone leave with her?!" Jake's voice was unusually loud, it made Brown shiver. He was mostly glad that there weren't any of the models around to witness what was happening; he was glad no one was around to see Jake talk to him like that, the receptionist hadn't let for the day yet but she wasn't at her post."I...I....""You what?!" Jake stopped his stammering."He said that you....that you sent him. He said Mr Topher wanted him to....""Did you ask which?""....." Brown grew quiet when Jake asked that last question. It just occurred to him that Mr Topher could be either Jake or Max or even Gregory Topher.‘The fuck is wrong with me!!!’ Brown asked himself in his thoughts. Jake gave him one last glare before walking out of the building the same way he came.****Max kept his eyes on the woman in front of him. She wasn't drinking from her glass, it was still half filled like it was when the helper poured in both of their glasses. He didn't need to be told that she wa

Hours later,The designers discourse took hours. This was because they had to explain to the model about the fashion week as it was the first most of them were having.They were assigned numbers and were detailed with the processes involved. Victoria was glad she didn't miss it all. She learnt some things she didn't know before then and was excited for the approaching summer fashion week.Some of the models would walk the ramp on heels, some on slippers while some would go barefoot depending on the apparel being modelled."Victoria?" Someone called her amid her thoughts where she stood waiting for Amber to use the restroom. She turned and it was one of her fellow models, she wouldn't say but she was surprised that the girl knew her name."Yeah?" She responded to know why the girl was looking for her."Brown wants you in his office right now.""Oh okay." She said following her to Brown's office. When they got there, the girl knocked and poked her head inside the office."She's here." V

"Stop the car here!" Victoria made Jake stop the car suddenly when they were almost at the studio."Did you forget? I can't have you dropping me off at the direct entrance."Jake actually forgot about that.She left the car in a hurry, her handbag almost dropping from her shoulder. She was almost at the entrance when she turned back to the car, Jake wasn't leaving, he was waiting for her to go in.‘Why is he waiting?’ Victoria asked herself and decided to wave at the car so he could drive away. Jake smiled broadly when she waved at him, one of his rare smiles but no one was in the car to witness it. Victoria saw that he wasn't leaving so she walked back to the car. Jake rolled down the glass to the car's window before she could knock on it."Why are you still here?" She asked with a bossy voice that only made Jake smile at her without giving a response."Urghh, don't you have to be in your office or something? Go to your office, now!" She ordered him with her hands akimbo."Yes ma'am."

Next morning.0 9 : 1 4 am.Victoria was laying in bed, sleeping peacefully when the phone rang loudly, it woke her up with a jolt. When she checked, she saw that it was Amber calling so she answered."Tori?""Yeah?""You sound sleepy, please tell me that you are not in bed right now." Amber said and Victoria realized that she was probably late again.'Shit.' She said in her mind."Tori?" Amber called her again."I will be there in the next twenty five minutes, I think?" Victoria said getting out of bed."O my god, she is still in bed." Amber could tell."It's not my fault." Victoria was now in front of the wardrobe taking out a dress."There are some persons here to have a talk with us, all of us and you're not here yet.""Have they begun?" Victoria threw the dress to the bed as she asked worried that she might not be able to make it on time."Not yet, I think they are waiting for one of their team member to arrive at the studio before they begin. Hurry up, okay?" "Okay." Victoria p
In Love With You 66. Her Hug
Holding his hands, she attempted pulling him up so he helped her out, getting up like she wanted but he was surprised by what she did next. She stood on her toes and put her arms around his neck, hugging him before proceeding to whisper to him;"It's okay." Jake haven't had someone hug him like that since he turned eighteen and had to kill all of his feelings to take on his office as the vice president of the Tn group.His mother hugged him occasionally but those were mostly for her own self- gratifications and they didn't come with the sense of care Victoria's hug came with. When she hugged him, it made him feel warm inside for the first time in so long, it took away the iciness he had to keep up with, she melted him.Still unsure if to return the hug or not, he heard her say;"Things happen for a reason you know, it couldn't all be your fault." With less hesitation now, he put his arms around her, pulling her closer to himself, he hugged her back. Their torsos pressed against eac
