Chapter twenty-sixHe walked straight to her and asked, "Hey... Why are you on black?"She looked at him coyly and somehow she was amazed at his question.Her dress was not that bad but he wanted her to always look like the first day she came to the company for an interview.She kept quiet because she believed that her dress wasn't bad.Then Eduardo stared at her for a moment as she was fidgeting, and then he said, "Follow me." And she followed him immediately.They entered the left and the moment the lift stopped, he walked out of the lift but Cindy was carried away in her thought, still standing in the left.'Why would he ask me that kind of question? Maybe he doesn't like a girl putting on...'He walked back and snap his fingers on her face and she jolted.The moment she realized herself, the lift wanted to close, but he held it with his hands till she stepped out of the left.Eduardo took her to where the inter's are working, reaching there, one of the managers was already with th

Kenny, she was the one that left the office last yesterday and all of us heard when Anita announced that the particular document that is missing was on her table.""And does that mean that she was the one who took the document from her table?" Kenny asked, trying to defend her but others were accusing her without a doubt.The moment he got there, he heard Anita calling Cindy all manner of names and the worst thing was that she wanted to sack herself from the company with her mouth, Kenny reported the whole issue to the managers, so they called Cindy to come and see them in the hall where they normally have their meetings.It

How was your night, I came to spend some days with you.""Are you nut?" He asked with an ice voice and Jessica jolted."I made it clear to you the last time you were in my office... Jessica, there's no place for you in my heart and I don't have anything to do with you, Leave my house."He said and went into his car before Jessica turned around to retort, she found out that he has gone.Eduardo never knew what peace and joy were like, till Cindy showed up and now that Cindy has started moving away from him, his dark and cold nature was gradually showing up again.After he left, Jessica tried her best to enter Eduardo's house but the Butler refused, then angrily she drove off from Eduardo's place.And
Chapter twenty-nine"You know what?... I think I should seriously mind my business in this house, I've been staying in this house with you but I don't know who you...really... are." She stretched the last two words and turned to leave but Dean quickly went and stop her."Wait... Cindy calm down and answered my question then I will tell you everything you want to know.""Really?" Cindy asked."Yes, I'll tell you everything," Dean answered."Okay... ask your questions," she said as she was nodding."Why were you smiling and fidgeting like a little girl waiting for ice cream?" Dean asked."What?" Cindy was surprised to hear his question, she didn't know that he saw her doing that."Yea, your answer holds the key to your question.""Are you serious?... Is that the question you have for me?" Cindy asked again."Yea," Dean answered and went to the sofa and sat down.Dean knew that she wouldn't ask him questions based on what he wanted to say before now and that's why he gave her that platf

Mrs Rose asked."Great, how can we help you ma'am?" He asked."Good... I'm Mrs Rose, I heard that you guys have a share in this company and based on the information I got, you guys can be trusted.""You're right ma'am," Eduardo said, removing the share list, he gave it to Mrs Rose. After going through the list, she selected the highest amount from the list and returned it to him.Then he signed it and she transferred the money to the company and left.The moment she left, Eduardo face-palmed and thought to himself, 'She's a real business woman but why's her name not in high business personalities in the state?...'He was calm

She's fine." She answered shortly, with the mind that that was not the reason why he was there.She thought that he was there to give her a sack letter but it was contrary to that, he gave her a plan sheet and some documents to work on and left.She face-palmed and taking a deep breath she went into her office and started walking.It was time for lunch and she still have a

You should have let me go.""Shut up... Why did you want to kill yourself?" He asked and sighed.The doctor rushed in and gave her an injection that weakened her, seeing how she was trying to pull out the cannula and a given set on her hand.The instant she became calm, Jerry left her in the hospital and went t

So he turned his car and followed them.The moment he saw the building they entered he speedily drove away not knowing that someone saw him.Mrs Rose was lying down on her bed when a call came in, she lazily picked up her phone and answered, "Hello,""Madam, Mr Black was following Eduardo and Cindy this morning...

It has been a long time since I heard you talk in this manner.""Uncle, it's Cindy... She has finally woken up from the coma." Eduardo explained."Oh my God... Are you serious about what you just said?" Uncle Linus asked."Uncle, why would I joke around with something like this?

Chapter sixty-sixMr. Black arrived at Desmond's place. He went straight to his door and knocked but no one answered.He was already on his way out of the building when he saw a young woman enter the premises, so he called out, "Young lady, excuse me," The lady stopped and he asked, "Do you know the way about this young man that stays here and his family...
