Learning To Love Again With My Boss They kissed
Author’s pov Amber’s turning and looking at the man at her back was something she never expected. In those few seconds that Amber had to turn, she thought about so many things, especially the man who had asked if he could help her carry her loaded cart and she refused. “Why will he pay for the things that I have bought? Maybe he wants my attention or my phone number. He has failed. I will not give it to him. I didn’t ask him to pay. I have my own money and I will reject his gift.” When she turned, Amber was completely speechless. This wasn’t what she had expected. Standing in front of her was the very man she had been running away from. “Adrian? How do you know that I am here? Are you stalking me?” She asked angrily. Adrian didn’t say a word. His hands were folded and he didn’t know that first statement that he wanted to say. It was a moment of complete silence and the two of them were looking at each other. “Amber, nothing can separate my love from you.” “I didn’t ask yo
Learning To Love Again With My Boss Will it work?
Amber's pov My heart was racing as I drove away from the grocery store. I couldn't imagine that I had reconnected with Adrian in a way I didn't even expect. What will I tell my grandma? There is no doubt, I love Adrian and no matter what his mum does to put an end to this relationship will fail if only Adrian keeps to his promise. On getting head, my grandma was sitting at the porch waiting. Why was she waiting for me? I looked at the time and it was almost noon. What? So fast? “Where have you been?” My grandma asked. The way he asked showed she suspected something. “At the grocery store.” “Since morning? How many hours does it take to get to the grocery store? Or how many hours does it take to shop at the grocery store?” My grandma asked and the tone of her voice clearly showed that she needed an answer. “Grandma, I came across an old friend and that was the reason I came back late.” She looked at me and her facial expressions changed. I thought I had overcome her when
Learning To Love Again With My Boss I'm part of your family now
Author's pov The time was almost 4pm. Adrian and her mother were in the hospital room with his dad. Two nurses were administering some medications on Mr Morgan when Adrian kept looking at his waist wrist. “Where will Amber come? When is she going to come?” He thought. When the nurses had left the room, Adrian stood up and walked closer to his dad. It wasn't long when he too entered the room and because of the nurses, he waited and he hasn't spoken to him since he came. “How was work at the office today?” His father asked. “Dad, it was fine. How is your health?” “I'm getting better by the day…” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the three of them heard a knock on the door and turned to the door. “Come inside!” Adrian said and Adrian and his mom kept looking at the door to see who was knocking. This was when Amber walked in. In Adrian's eyes, the world stood still and he got up from the edge of the bed and walked up to her at once. Their eyes were on each other. Sh
Learning To Love Again With My Boss I have a confession
Amber's pov Was my grandma a sorceress? When she first told me that a lady would become pregnant for Adrain because of what was going on in our relationship, I emotionally blushed it out of my mind. I was confident that something like this wouldn't happen, not even by mistake. I was in the backseat of a cab going home. I was so traumatized that I couldn't drive myself. I couldn't stand there, seeing that lady saying words like, “Adrian, I am carrying your baby!” What will be going on in Mr Morgan's mind right now after hearing that someone is carrying his grandchild? He wanted a grandchild and that was what he whispered into my ear when I embraced him. I guess his health is deteriorating. Oh my goodness! I can't imagine what will be happening as I angrily left the room. Will Adrian’s father not show great interest in seeing his grandchild? Would they not immediately admit that lady to check the health of the baby? I could remember, when I was about to leave, Adrian wanted
Learning To Love Again With My Boss My dad's last wish
Amber's pov It wasn't as easy as my grandma had said it, taking Adrian's picture from my mind was a daunting task. All throughout the night, I saw his face and even when my eyes were opened, I could still see his face on the face of anyone I looked at. “Are you still thinking of him?” My grandma asked as I subconsciously paused my cutleries while taking my breakfast the next day. It was so surprising as I felt the strong aroma of my favorite meal in my room. I thought it was a dream until I woke up and saw that it was a reality. My grandma had woken up very early in the morning, while I was still sleeping and started cooking. I hummed as I took a mouth full of food and ate it. My grandma placed his hand on my right lap and caressed it. “Amber, I have somewhere to go, will you follow me?” She asked. “Where?” “Don't worry, just come with me.” “When?” I asked, but she couldn't reply to me immediately because she was chewing her food. “Don't worry, just come with me. I
Learning To Love Again With My Boss Please! who is Amber?
Amber's pov The text message from Mrs Morgan herself and the request of her husband was something I couldn't turn down. As I kept driving, I was contemplating on what to do. Will my going to see Mr Morgan have a significant effect on him? There was this natural force that kept pulling my mind towards Mr Morgan. It got to a point as I was driving my grandma to the some called unknown destination, I had to slow down and I said, “Grandma, I want to go and see Mr Morgan, I can't take it anymore.” “Are you not sure that message is a trap?” She asked. Her response almost wanted to sway my decision. “Grandma, this is life and I want to go and see Mr Morgan. If I don't, I will condemn myself forever. This was the man who first gave me the money I used to take care of you when you wanted to do the most critical operation in your life. Going there doesn't mean I have connected with Adrian.” Touched by my words, she said, “If that is the case, take me home and go there.” “Please,
Learning To Love Again With My Boss Congratulations on what?
Author's pov “Has she picked up your call?” Merit asked her mum as she came back to the sitting room and her mother’s phone was still in her hand. “Hmmm…I can’t say she has answered me. She only told me she will get back to me.” Mrs Williams raised her face and looked at her daughter, who was putting on a very short skirt and a white top. It was in the evening and through the window, they could see the sun settling down. “How long will she get back to you?” She spoke with so much anger and after pacing the right side of the sitting room, she stopped and stood behind one of the couches. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Her mom asked, as Merit’s anger could be seen all over her body. “If you were very serious with what I told you, you would have expressed your anger towards her. How will she disgrace me in front of Adrian and her girlfriend? It’s so embarrassing.” “Are you sure Mrs Morgan did the things you have told me?” “She cannot deny it.” “When all of this wa
Learning To Love Again With My Boss I want to speak to my husband
Author's pov When the lab scientist said, “congratulations…” Mrs Morgan's heart raced as she didn't know why he was congratulating her. Does he know why she came to do the paternity test initially? He doesn't know, so when he said congratulations, Mrs Morgan was confused. Instead of saying it verbally at first, the man handed her the result on an envelope. “Congratulations on what?” She could still remember these words as the last moment and when the lab scientist said, “Mr Morgan is the father of your daughter.” Mrs Morgan lost it and she fell unconscious. “Doctor!” Nora, her close friend shouted. The lab scientist and Nora rushed her into one of the wards and they immediately started to resuscitate her. “Flora!” Nora shouted as one of the nurses told her to leave the room. The envelope was in Nora's hands as she came out of the room and stayed outside. “Oh my god, please Flora, you need to wake up. Who will I call now?” She asked herself. “I need to tell…” she pause

The hall was thick with tension as Mrs Morgan’s voice shook, her emotions barely in check. She stared at Adrian, her face full of confusion and frustration.“What kind of confession is this, on your wedding day? People are waiting!” Her voice was sharp, but beneath the anger was fear—fear of what was coming next.Adrian’s expression was cold and unyielding. He didn’t react as the guests whispered, casting curious and judgemental glances."Amber and I... we’re not blood-related." His voice cut through the murmurs, and the crowd instantly fell silent. He turned to his mother, the woman he had always trusted. "Who did you sleep with to have me?"Gasps rippled through the hall, and Mrs Morgan’s face turned pale as if all life had left her."Me?" She laughed, but it was hollow, full of disbelief. "You’re mad, Adrian! Is this your twisted confession?"Before she could continue, Adrian handed her an envelope, his fingers trembling slightly. "This is the DNA test. I ran it several times."Her

Amber's pov Did Adrian just say in his last statement that he will be spending a night with me here alone at the hotel? What does he want? He has so much emotion for me. Can't he control it? Despite suppressing my emotions for him, I still love him. I was still holding my phone when it rang again and it was Adrian. “Hello…” I said. “I'm still waiting for your address. I kept my promise. What are you waiting for? I'm ready to enter my car and drive out of the house. At this point, I was having one question in mind to ask him, but my tongue was too heavy to say it. “Are you coming here to…?” I stopped and thankfully he knew what I meant and he started laughing. “Your voice turned me on. It's not a matter of coming there or holding your precious fingers. I have something to tell you. We need to talk. I miss you and I want to have a nice time with my sister. Whatever angle you want it to be, I will be. But there is something I will never do, I will never force you against
Learning To Love Again With My Boss Agreement and promise
Author’s pov Two white cars suddenly stopped in front of Amber’s grandma’s house and it was in the evening. The doors of the car at the back opened and Mrs Morgan and her friend, Merit’s mom came out of the car after the guards had opened the doors for them. They walked majestical towards the front door and one of the men guarding them knocked on the door. The first person that came out to open the door was a lady, one of those ladies that assisted Amber’s grandma. “Are you related to Amber?” Mrs Morgan asked with a cruel voice, putting great fear into the young lady. “No, I am here to do some housekeeping.” “Where is Amber’s grandma?” This time, it was Nora that asked this question. “She is inside,” she slightly trembled and went inside. They stood at the door post and when Amber’s grandma came out, her age demanded respect and in turn, she welcomed them by saying, “What are my guests doing at the mouth of the door? Please come inside.”Nora wanted to reject the offer of
Learning To Love Again With My Boss I won you, Adrian
Amber's pov Adrian walked up to me while I was in the room. Then he said, “I just received a call from the laboratory and they have informed me that the result is out.” My heart raced as we both stood at the edge of uncertainty. We neither know if it will be positive or negative. The laboratory center we went to was one of the sophisticated centers in the country. They were equipped with modern technologies. So, any test that was done there was often done with different testing techniques. “Will you inform your dad?” I asked as my voice started to crack out of tension. I felt more panicked than anything I have had in my entire life. It drew a line of separation between Adrian and I. I love Adrian and nothing apart from blood related could stop us from being together. “Get dressed, we need to go and collect the result.” Adrian said and kissed my forehead. I went to my wardrobe and by this time, I had already taken my bath. What will I wear? Does this occasion require speci
Learning To Love Again With My Boss The result is out
Author's pov “Flora, when are you going to inform Dora about your new plan?” Nora asked. They were outside, under a well spread white umbrella at Nora's house. “I will tell her once my son gives me a meaningful answer. Since I told her about my plan, he said he would get back to me. I love Dora and I want her to be part of my family.” Nora took a sip from her glass of blue wine and after she carefully placed the cup on the table, he said, “Your husband's infidelity has become a blessing in disguise. If your husband hasn't cheated on you, you wouldn't be able to achieve or say what you are demanding.” Flora shrugged and sighed. “He disappointed me. I could swear that he can't do something like that. If I had listened to my thoughts, I would have found out before now. I saw their closeness and I wondered what was happening. My husband Mut had known that Amber was his daughter. I am thinking he knew about it when he was sick at the hospital.” “Flora, that reminds me, what
Learning To Love Again With My Boss Two days from now
Amber's pov When I held the lab report in my hands and carefully read the result word for word, I was astounded to see that Mr Morgan is my biological father. How come? Is there anything my grandma is hiding from me or my late mom is hiding from me? I didn't know what to think about? This information has thrown me upside down. I didn't know where to place my thoughts. If my grandma knew about it, why had she not told me all this while? Does that mean that Adrian is my half-brother? I came down from the cab and walked into the house and I felt like an ordinary paper that the wind could blow off. “Grandma,” I paused as I saw her picking up her phone call. I was so deep in thought that I didn't pay attention to my grandma's conversation over the phone. “Amber!” She called and I turned my eyes towards her. “Why are you looking at me like this? Has…” “Grandma, do you really know my dad?” “Your dad? You mean your late date?” She asked. “Yes. What about my mom? Do you

Author's pov “Why did you lie to me that I will leave here today?” Mrs Morgan said angrily and it was only her friend that was in her room. She had been hostile with her words, and even more angry when she saw Amber. “That was what the doctor said initially.” Then the ringing of Mrs Morgan's phone stopped her friend from speaking. “Your husband is calling you.” “I can't speak to someone that I'm angry at.” Flora said to her friend. “We only have one night to stay at the hospital. It's for your own good. At home in Mr Morgan's house, he was very worried. He had been calling his wife, but she had refused to pick up her call. Mr Morgan was first in his new room downstairs. He had been told by the doctors not to stress himself. So climbing the stairs was seen as stress. He walked out of his room and came to his private sitting room. The first time his eyes saw was the wall clock. “It's about 7pm and my wife has refused to pick up my call. Is there something that everyone is
