LOVE & WEB CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
CHICHIChichi stretches and yawns as she wakes up, she clears her throat and says good morning to Susan who was supposed to be on the bed with her but it's rather filled with fluffy pillows. She groans lazily as she sits up on the bed wondering where Susan must have gone, the right side of her head aches badly, a cup of coffee would definitely come to her rescue.She gets up from bed and massages her head as she walks towards the kitchen hoping to see Susan there "Susan! You woke early so you better be cooking, I'm feeling so sick you know, food will really help" surprisingly, she meets the kitchen empty "where is this girl? I hope she hasn't gone to work?" she goes to Tade's room, knocks, and opens it. The smell of alcohol filled the air, Tade is still asleep on the rug, empty bottles of whiskey and her glass cup, disposable plates are on the floor while her clothes are thrown all over the place "Jeez! How much did she drink?" she picks up the empty bottles one after the other to dis

NORANora lays on the bed fantasizing about Spence, they have spoken that day yet it still feels like a dream, she wonders if this is how her mind will keep being preoccupied with his thought "Is this love?" Well, she loves it, at least she has more than work and what to cook to think about now. Her mom knocks on her door and walks in "Nora, how are you?" Nora sits up as she sees her mom's face "I'm fine mom, what's wrong? You look troubled""Nora, help me talk to your sister, they are through with their exams but she doesn't want to come back home" Nora shakes her head as her mom speaks, she knows what it feels like being policed around and she is glad her baby sister wouldn't accept that, at least she is braver than her "Mom let her be, she is not a baby anymore, you don't need to watch her like a mother hawk, she is twenty-five mom! Let her do what she wants, she will come home when she feels like" she advises her mom who immediately flares up"Mbanu! I won't tolerate that, her mat

SUSANSusan listened to Henry receive and make calls all through their ride home, it got irritating at some point that she wished she had given him the work excuse when he called her this morning to request that she picked him up at the Airport. She whined down the window to allow fresh air in while she used the time to appreciate her environment as she watches the tall buildings on the street of Lagos. Henry hangs up and apologizes again like he wouldn't take another call if his phone rings "I'm sorry babe" Susan ignores his apology "where should the driver take us to? Anywhere in mind?" Henry smiled "Home! Let's go meet my mom first then we can talk" Susan changes the address on the app so the driver can change his route. She opens her inbox to read Bode's reply which really cracked her up, she laughs deeply while Henry watched and wonders what could make her genuinely happy as this, she hasn't laughed like this since he arrived, he holds her hand and looks at her jealously "Hey!

CHICHIChichi goes through her workload on her laptop,seeing that she has covered almost all on herwork plan for that month she knew she can take a break from work for her mental health. All she has to do is call in sick so she can have some days off, and perhaps work from home since all that is left is the approval of proposals and submitting reviews.Chichi picks up her phone to call the Managing Director of the company she works in, she knew he would tell her to have as many days off as she likes but she still feel she needs to inform him even though she doesn't like calling his personal line because he has always wanted more than work relationship with her but she isn't just cut out to date people she works with, especially when he turns out to be her boss to avoid issues at the office or beefing from other staff who might be interested in being his Mrs. Truth be told, she hasn't been able to open her heart to anyone after Richard, though she had dated a couple of guys but never

TADE"Tade!" Chichi calls out to inform her that she has set the table. "I am coming!" Tade who just had her bath replies from her room as she checks her wardrobe for something casual to wear but couldn't find any, all her clothes are designers bought for either an expensive date, a party, or an outing. Most are even gifted as an apology "Damn! I don't even have any casual wear, I need to go shopping" she grabs her robe, wears it, and joins Chichi at the dining. "I thought you said you wanted to shower???" Chichi asks, surprised to see Tade still in her robe. Tade cuts out the big loaf of bread as she sits and she put some eggs on her plate before replying "I did already but I have nothing to wear" Chichi chuckles "you couldn't find something to wear from the whole of your wardrobe? Tade you have a boutique, you and I know that you drag clothes with yourintended customers, you will rather wear your designs than sell them, so stop whining, you are just looking for an excuse for a sho

NORANora couldn't stop laughing at the welcome pleasantries she got from her friends, more reason she never mentioned anything to them about her journey back to the city, she loves the outcome of surprises. Tade wasn't going to leave her neck until it falls off her body, Nora had to beg for her life "Tade easy on the neck, I still need it" "How dare you bail on us when we needed you the most! I need to cut this neck off as a punishment so you wouldn't try that again" Tade insists as she held on to Nora's neck while Chichi laughs at Tade's troublesome display. "I missed you" she finally admits naughtily and hugs Nora tightly "I missed you more, I missed you guys!! I can't believe everything that happened waited for me to be out of the city before happening, I'm so sorry I wasn't around" Nora apologizes to her friends, she looked at Chichi with a concerned face "How are you holding up?" Chichi shrugs "I... am okay" "I am okay too even if you wouldn't ask" Tade voluntarily submits with

SUSANAn echo of laughter is heard continually from Henry's sitting room as both moms wouldn't stop teasing Henry and Susan, Henrietta orders the maid to set the table "Flora come and set the table for my son, don't let Susan beat me to it, she is the first to see my son, let us be the first to feed him" Caroline mocks her friend "says who? What if they had stopped over at an eatery to have breakfast before getting home?" Henry laughs, his mom gave him a stern look "Henry? Is it true? You found a woman now you ditched your mother? Just one-day oo! One day with her" Henry calms his mom before it gets out of hand "Not at all mom, we drove home straight from the airport, you know you will always come first in my life" Susan exchanged a worried look with her mom who shoved it off with a wave and casual statement "Henrietta, leave this two lovebirds alone, go and use all this energy on Donald, your husband" which Henrietta objects quickly "Donald's mother remains the first love of his life

SUSANSusan and Henry stood a while outside waiting for the cab driver to arrive, Susan is glad that at last they are alone and maybe they could have that conversation she has been waiting to have with him but Henry was all quiet, standing tall with his two hands stuffed in his pocket and shifting from one foot to the other. Susan concludes if he wasn't going to start up the conversation then she will because she isn't about to take this moment for granted "So whats'up?" she finally said something to get him talking "Fine, it's good to be back home you know, I miss this amount of sun in my face" he looks at the sky. She chuckles even though that's not the conversation she was hoping for but she is going to force it out of him "yeah... So do you like what you see?" Henry is startled by the question, he grunts "Of course! I do, and our parents also do! Which makes everything perfect" Susan smiles awkwardly "You know I actually looked forward to meeting you but you stood me up severally

CHICHIChichi relished every bit of the aesthetics of the neighborhood as her driver approached Louisana. From the sidewalk to the beautiful trees acting as sheds, the neighborhood is filled with high-rise buildings. The distance from the gate to the company seems endless and extremely beautiful, the smell of luxury filled the air. It's a huge firm with extraordinary architectural values, She couldn't but appreciate the structure, the design, and the quality of everything that caught her eyes as they drive in.She alights from the taxi and walks briskly to the reception, the interior is no way compared to the exterior. She could tell that the CEO does have an exquisite taste, from the floor she walks on to the glass doors that opened to welcome her. The paintings on the wall are originals directly from the painter, she knows a little about paintings but she can tell these are limited editions, perhaps one design to have existed. She walks towards the beautiful receptionist who welcome
