Cody and Seth inspected the hostel facility and Cody nodded in satisfaction. “This is nice, do you think she’ll like it?” Cody asked Seth with a big smile on his face.“Who? You told me this place was for one of your business partners, I don’t know what she likes but she should like it” Seth answered feeling uneasy about how excited Cody was.“It’s for someone, I know she’ll like it… let’s go” he said and walked out of the room, Seth tagged along with a look of displeasure on his face.All throughout work Cody kept imagining what Myra’s reaction would be like when he showed her the room. At exactly 5:00 he drove out, Seth followed him at a distance on a motorbike so Cody wouldn’t notice.Myra was seated on a lover’s bench with her friend Alison in a garden outside their faculty, busily discussing their notes when Cody’s car stopped. Myra looked up at the white bentley and thought it looked familiar.“Mr. Whyte?” She said under her breath. Alison frowned.“Huh? Who’s Mr. Whyte?”Cody
Monica couldn’t believe what Myra was telling her till she got to the hostel and saw the facility Cody had gotten for her daughter.“You can’t be serious Myra, tell me this place is for Alison” Monica said in disbelief as she walked around the room inspecting it critically.Alison who was sprawled on warm rug on the floor raised her head and shook it.“No aunt Monica, Myra’s sugar daddy got this place for her” Alison clarified.“He’s my boss not my sugar daddy!” Myra yelled back.“Myra are you sleeping with your boss?” Monica asked.“Mummy? How could you think like this of me, I’m twenty and haven’t even had my first kiss yet” Myra agonized. She sat down in the armchair. “Wow this is bouncy” she commented.“Myra, when you go to work today invite him for dinner this weekend, I need to see him and find out what his intentions are” Monica ordered.“But mummy he’s my boss!” Myra protested.“Exactly why I need to talk to him, before I can allow you to stay here”Myra sulked while her moth
They made for the 7 seater Audi since it was more convenient for a family trip. While Nina run after the kids trying to get them in line. Seth wheeled Cody slowly.“Guess it’s not that bad of an idea for Nina to join us right?” He asked Seth.Seth had been with him since he was a child he was just a year or two older, though he worked for the Whyte’s Cody considered him as a brother than a staff. He was the only one that came close as a friend though Seth wouldn’t stop calling him Mr. Whyte and he had given up on stopping him from saying that.“I’ll be very honest Mr. Whyte, this is so far your dumbest idea ever, I don’t even want to think about it” Seth answered.“I also don’t even want to think think about it, whatever happens happens, I’m very exhausted from trying to save face all the time” Cody answered in a relaxed mood. Seth figured he had taken his painkillers and hence his very relaxed mood. Cody was suffering from migraines and sleepless nights after his collision so he wa
Cody and Nina lay in bed chatting happily when Nina’s face changed into that of concern. “Your ring, where’s it? Today when we were at the party I realized you weren’t wearing your ring and you haven’t been wearing it for sometime now why?” She questioned “Honestly I’ve been looking for it too, I think I lost it during the accident or at the hospital and it never crossed my mind to replace it” Cody answered.“So what do we do?” Nina asked.“I’ll get another one, don’t worry” Cody assured her. “We’re not newly weds I know you too well, you will never get it until I follow you to the Jewelry store to get one” Nina said and Cody smiled fondly at the mention of jewelry store, it brought back memories of a girl he had left behind at Golden springs.Nina misinterpreted the smile to be because of what she said.“Look at that handsome face of yours, always trying to get away with everything not this time young man, I ordered a ring, it’ll be here tomorrow, I get to see you wear it before
On the way back to golden springs Cody took off his ring and wrapped it in a paper and hid it in his empty migraine prescription bottle. He had wanted to text Myra but the truth is he had not taken her number and she had not even once texted or called him. He didn’t know why he was disappointed in her attitude didn’t she see him as her friend? Why was she treating him this way? Cody had never experienced what waiting felt like he had the girls throwing themselves easily at him so the actions of Myra left him confused. Did she throw the card away, didn’t she miss him?He turned to Seth who was focused on driving safely. “Seth, do you think Myra didn’t like the room we got her?” “Hmmm, we… hmmm I have no idea Mr. Whyte, you can find out from her tomorrow at work” Seth answered in a sarcastic tone.“Yes… I can find out tomorrow” Cody agreed not catching the sarcasm in his tone.“But Mr. Whyte why does it matter if she likes it or not… you’re only doing her a favor… or did she say she
Myra put her purse down and checked the time, it was a few hours before her shift starts. She decided to eat something before hurrying off to the lab. Just when she was finishing up her lunch Alison stormed in.“Great I was looking for you” she blurted out and took one chicken nugget from Myra’s plate.“What for?” Myra asked.“You know something Myra” Alison said getting closer to her as she sat at her dining table. “Since Mr. Whyte likes you I was thinking you could put in a good word for me so I can do my house…”“No! But who says he likes me? You should see him at the office, he doesn’t smile, he’s so mean and scary… I couldn’t possibly ask him for that kind of favor especially when he has done more than enough for me” Myra retorted.“You’re doing this for a friend Myra, you know the popular saying? A candle loses nothing by lightning other candles?” Alison pleaded.“I’m not a candle, I’m scared of Mr. Whyte, I spend my entire shift trying to avoid him” “For me Myra, this is for
Eileen and Cecily were happily singing in a mic in Eileen’s home, Cecily had come to cheer her up and this was one of her ways. She knew Eileen loved to sing so she planned a karaoke day to keep the singer happy. During her son’s party the paparazzi kept close tabs on Cecil and Eileen trying to see if they could find out who the biological father of Cecil was. Some headlines claimed she slept with her bodyguard, some claimed she was a crackhead who was raising a child for a man who wanted nothing to do with her. The headlines were mean and so were some comments. Being online depressed her and that was what led to her resorting to call Cecily so she could cheer her up.When they were tired and relaxing in the sofa, Cecily suddenly broke the silence by saying“But am I not your best friend?” Eileen gave her a confused look.“Why, did I ever say you weren’t?” “How come you’ve never told me who fathered a son with you? I don’t even know his last name, you said he’s my godson but I know
When Myra opened her eyes it fell on Cody’s sleeping face she sat up with a start and looked around she was in Cody’s bedroom in bed with Cody, she screamed and jumped out of the bed waking Cody up. When he opened his eyes Myra immediately covered her chest with her hands, she was wearing clothes from yesterday. Cody gave her a confused look then chuckled. “I didn’t do anything” he said knowing she thought he touched her. “Why am I in your bed?” She asked still covering her chest.“I fell asleep on the couch, you fell asleep on the floor, I woke up at dawn to take my meds and saw you on the floor, so I picked you up” Cody explained.“You… didn’t see anything?” Myra asked.“See what? Come on I don’t have time for that… if we ever do that I need you wide awake” Cody said getting out of bed. “And there’s no point in looking” he entered the bathroom and Myra blushed with embarrassment. She frowned and scoffed who did Cody think he was, who said there was no point in looking did he kn
