Tessa and Mandy walked out of their office now at the cafeteria of the company, after placing the order Mandy still didn't say a word, now that the food was right in front of them, she was still lost in her world. "Stop staring at the food like you are having issues with it." "Stop being silly," Mandy said, faking a smile. "Hey, did someone annoy you? What is wrong? What happened?" Tessa is bombarding her with questions, she grimaces at Tessa and then picks up her food with the fork. "You see, I am perfect." Tessa giggle. "You should know, even if my friendship with yours is like a baby, I know that you are not happy, I might even know you more than you know yourself." "Oh please!" Mandy said rolling her eyes. "Come on, tell me, I might just go beat up the person bullying you." "So you could beat up Lauren?" Tessa smiled brightly, the truth was out, and all the problems were from Lauren. "What did the jerk do again?" She fell her face on her palm. 'Go on." "I said nothing righ
His anger also made him leave the office, he didn't go to the condominium, he went to his house, throughout the day, he was at the door, so tired and frustrated, all of a sudden, he missed the one woman, he said he hates and could punish for every little mistake she made. When it was evening, he grabbed his keys, got into the car, and drove to the condominium, he was just arriving in his tinted Citroen C5X, when he saw Mandy standing at the entrance of the building downstairs, with her eyes facing the floor like she is searching for something. Lauren's heart skipped, knowing that the person was Mandy, he knew she was beautiful but not what he was seeing in front of him. Mandy is wearing a Grecian goddess–inspired gold, metallics sleeveless high-neck gown that glows with her blonde hair.And her body, it hugged her body, bringing the right curve of her visible to the world. "Hey!" He called but don't get it wrong, it wasn't Lauren but Dylan, who is super gorgeous in his tuxedo, he is
Lauren looks at him. "Yes, what are you doing here?" Dylan asked again. "Business! That was the only word he said...""Here? A place I put on a reservation?" Dylan asked the man who had already pulled a seat to make himself comfortable, Mandy couldn't raise her head, she was still very scared of Lauren, Lauren didn't reply to Dylan, he ran his eyes around Mandy's body, he didn't get a closer look at Mandy at the condominium but here, it's closer and a full picture of her sheen he could get it now. "I asked...'"Why did you leave work yesterday?" Lauren asked Mandy making her raise her head, he wanted to see her face, if it continued to remain down, he would not get what he wanted, that question of him had given him want he wanted. "Go on!" "I was supposed to have a date with him and I needed to...""Leave work to go shopping for an irrelevant date?" Lauren asked, Dylan didn't try to say anything, he understood that Lauren was trying to ruin his date with Mandy, Mandy's eyes didn't
"Pick your call, Larry." Lauren's frustration is at its peak. "Lauren, isn't it too early to be calling?" Those were Larry's first words, taking Lauren's call. "Will you keep quiet, Mandy, have you or Tessy..." He hasn't finished the words and the call disconnected. "Damn! I might need Dylan's help, maybe I should call him instead of this stupid Larry." Fighting with his brain, he places a call to Dylan, the first ring, Dylan answers. "Hey, bad idiot!" "Mandy is missing, is like she has been kidnapped," Lauren said, Dylan was surprised where Lauren got that stupid idea from, he raised his head and looked at the same missing Mandy on his couch, feasting on pizza. An hour early, Mandy had shown up at his Mansion with all her luggage. "Dylan, open up." She is hitting on the door, one of his stewards was the one who opened the door. "Ma! You are..." "Where is Dylan?" Mandy asked, the steward hadn't replied to her before Dylan stepped down. "Hey, what are you doing here?" "You don't
"What did you say?" Lauren asked Mandy as he dragged her laptop, only to see that Mandy had dug out the history of the man whose name appeared on the account.[Malcolm Beans was one of the most popular chocolate producers in the early nineties, he was a very rich business tycoon, his product is far known apart from Singapore, and his product is everywhere he is the founder of Mal chocolate, and everyone knows him as a single for years because he had never talked about his family nor had they appear on any social function with him but on his dying bed, he declares he had a child but he never discloses if it's a boy or a girl, he died of heart disease but most people said he was poison by his best friend.] "What?" Dylan yelled as Lauren took the last part, "How could a dead man have access to their company and be using his account after death?" "This only means one thing, someone related to him might be working in your company but why target your company?" Mandy added Lauren's gaze sta
"Oh, my child, you are so sweet, you just take me back to memory lane, I love all of them, and I wish Shehan was here." "Who is that?" Mandy asked. "My son is very handsome, he is also a reporter, I am sure he will be happy to meet you, he loves girls like you but...""Oh, so he is married?" Mandy asked Lauren's face darkened. "No, he is single and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, you can still meet him, he will be here by the weekend, I am sure, he will like you because you are pretty and know how to keep stuff, he is just like you." Mandy's facepalm, Lauren is out of patience, first of all, this woman didn't give him what he wanted, secondly, she had to ignore him like they were not there, thirdly, she is trying to match her son with his bonbon. 'Mandy, let's go." Lauren said in anger. "You two know?" Mrs. Smith asked if she didn't observe that they did because Mandy didn't pay them attention when she entered, and Mandy nodded. "Your boyfriend?" Mrs. Smith asked again, she shoo
"You didn't tell me, you were coming with him?" Mrs. Smith asked Mandy. "I was... No... I wasn't..." She stuttered, Shehan smiled, he never thought that the man, he was dying to have an interview with was here, right at his mother's house. "Welcome sir Lauren Daniel, my name is Shehan, nice to meet you." Shehan stretched his hand to Lauren but Lauren didn't take his hand, he was just staring at his face. His mind wanders, he is having a mental fight with himself, he just can't imagine, the boy in front of him, whom his mother had called handsome. "He is not even handsome." He said mentally, you shouldn't take Lauren to heart, the man in front of Lauren is handsome, he only said that because he felt Shehan was no match for his handsomeness but who calls someone handsome when you have no idea about his face? Mandy hit him. "What are you thinking?" Mandy said in a whisper. "Oh!" He takes Shehan's hand in his. "Nice to meet you two too." Lauren corrected himself, Shehan nodded, pointi
"It's painful to trust someone and then find out, that person makes a fool out of you, anyways, it's fine, I am fine." He sips on the wine. "Mandy goes home, I will be fine." "No, you don't expect me to leave you like this?" "Nothing is worth the trouble, whoever...'"Mandy is not just some random person, is Leah, Leah is Colm Lea, she is the same person, that has been taking money from the company. The one woman that I did nothing wrong to." Lauren echoed her name with pain, "Yes, it hurt to be betrayed by the one person you never did wrong." Mandy stares at him, she can't say she doesn't understand the pain. Lauren is going through nor does she know the exact way Lauren is feeling. She has been there, been hurt by the ones, she loves, Lauren had found out that the person behind the mess is Leah, the love of his life"Lauren, you need to calm down, and put yourself together, like you said, shit happens." "Do you think it's that easy, I have been a fool so many times, it's only a st

A year later, Mandy and Lauren already had their first baby, a boy, Grandpa Asher had named him Zeus since the baby arrived Mandy's focus had been on the baby, and she had to stop working, Lauren didn't want her to tire herself out. Mandy is having her bath, when the Telecom rang, indicating she had a visitor. "Who could that be?" She said mentally as she slipped into simple wear, getting into the living room, where Tessa and Lisa are"You two? What are you doing here?" "Happy marriage anniversary!" "What did you just say?" "Didn't you remember? Is your marriage anniversary?" "Dammit! Lauren will kill me, I didn't even wish him one." She grabbed her phone to call him but the number was switched off. "This is not happening." "What happened?" Lisa asked. "His number is not going through, let's just say maybe he is having a network issue and he too forgets it, so I will just surprise him." "Really?" "Yes, we need to..." Her words stop, seeing Sharon's message."What Is it?" Tessa
Mandy is very exhausted after the party, she sleeps in the Car like the first time that they get married. She is so exhausted from the numerous dances that they made her dance, photograph, and take her marriage vows, everything was just too much for her but she is happy anyway, it's her dream come true. As soon as Lauren packed his car, he looked beside him, his heart smiled, as he saw the one woman he had longed for like all his life, and he pushed his hand under Mandy's cheek."Lauren stop disturbing me." "Silly, you are in the car, do you want to sleep here?" "Of course not!" "Then come down." "What do you mean to come down?" "I don't understand, you want to sleep here." "No! You should carry me." Lauren smiled at her silliness. "Go on!" "As your lordship pleases." he pulled her into his hand and carried her into the villa, he took her to his room, and Mandy just lay down. "Mr. Mask!" "Yes!" "Take off my wears, it's too heavy for me." Lauren couldn't believe that Mandy wa
Tessa, Lisa, and Mandy are picking gowns from the wedding when Mandy's phone rings. "Hey, Mr mask!" "Where are you Bonbon?" "With Lisa and Tessa, about to have my gown...""No need for that, it's fixed, you should come out, Stone is there to pick you up, he will take you to me." "Where?" "Stop asking and don't come with Lisa or Tessa." Mandy smiled, for the past two days, Mandy had gone everywhere with Tessa and Lisa, from booking the venue for the registry to picking up the bouquet, everything was so fast. They were saying Tessa and Larry's wedding was fast. Lauren and Mandy's is faster. "Silly, I will not come with them." "Good, I love you." "Love you too." "Alright, see you soon." The call dies off, Mandy looks at them. "Go on, he doesn't want us to come with you." The two said in unison, making Mandy titter. "You two are silly." "Get going before he waits up his life, you should know brother hates the wait." Mandy pecks the two and hurries out, Stone is there, and he p
"Lauren? I told you, I am sorry, please take me back, I will...""Marry me!" Mandy wasn't expecting him to say that, she looked all lost, and then Lauren knelt before her. "Will you marry me?" Bringing out a ring, to propose to her, Mandy's tears drop, she had always wanted this, her dream was for her to marry the one man, her heart beat for and he should be able to propose to her, with a ring and him on his knees before and she felt Noor is the only person she could love but then again she fell in love with Lauren. "Come on Bonbon! My legs ache." "Sorry!" "Sorry for what?" "Mr. Mask, can you stop putting words in my mouth?" "Fine, I am patient." "Go on and ask me again." "Bonbon!" "Come on Mr. Mask!" Mandy caressed his face"Fine! Mandy Edward, will you marry me, Lauren Daniel?" "Yes!" "Whoa!" The screams made Lauren and Mandy shock, she rushed to the side of Lauren, only to see the entire family, Daniel's, and Grandpa Asher there. "Congratulations!" They keep hugging Mand
When Merlin finished he looked at her to say something but not a word came out of her mouth. "Go on and tell me, what you feel, if you don't love me, I will not force you to love me but what I will not want to happen is for our friendship to go under the carpet." "Merlin, I am sorry but I can't love you the way you love me." "Is it because you have someone else in your heart?" She nodded her head. "You are still in love with Lauren?" "Yes, I am in love with Lauren, I am sorry if I lead you on but the truth is, I still want Lauren, I just don't think I could love another." Merlin nodded, it hurt but he was expecting it, his heart kept telling him that, there was no way, Mandy could love him but he just wanted to push his luck, he turned the car around to drop Mandy, she had told him that, she is going to Tessa, he packs at Larry's, she held his hand. "Sorry...""It's fine, don't beat yourself, just go for your heart desires, if Lauren is what you want go for him, he is no longer wit
For one year, Lauren had been busy so busy that he didn't contact Mandy, not even for once, Mandy too was very busy, running Grandpa Asher's business, she didn't go back to modeling, she just had a different dream. But as busy as Merlin is, he still always contacts Mandy and the two can talk for hours like they were lovers, grandpa Asher is beginning to think that Mandy is in love with Merlin, he just doesn't want to push it but the truth is, grandpa Asher, want his granddaughter to settle with Merlin but he can't just make decisions for her. "Grandpa!" "Mandy, I was told you apply for leave, do you want to go on vacation?' "Not like some vocation but Tessa had her baby, some month back and I was very busy, I couldn't attend and...""Fine, you are free to." "Thanks, Grandpa! I will book my flight back." "No need, the private jet will take you there." Mandy's smile widens, she just can't believe that her grandpa will grant her that. Mandy messaged Dylan that she was coming to Sing
"Mandy!" "It's fine, come on, let's join the others." Lauren knows that Mandy is sad now, so he has to excuse himself. "Sure! Let's go." Getting back to the party, Lauren takes her hand. "Can I also dance with you?" She looks at him. "Please, don't say no to this." "Fine! Let's go." Marlin could watch as Lauren danced with Mandy, and Amelia kept calling. "Maybe, you should go home now," Mandy said as his phone kept ringing. "I guess it's a goodbye for now." "Sure! Goodbye!" Mandy turned, and Lauren held her hand. "Don't you think I deserve a peck?" She didn't say anything, she pecked him and then freed herself, Lauren wanted a kiss and a hug but then Mandy's decision was what they were working on. After the party, all the guests had gone, leaving Mandy and Dylan on the terrace alone. "Mandy, did you tell him?" She did tell Dylan that, she wanted to tell Lauren that they should come together but Amelia didn't make her."No way, I can't, Amelia is still in his life, and I don't
Although most people now know that Mandy is the granddaughter of Asher, the party had not to be held, Mandy is been attended to, Lauren had sent her what to wear for the party, not that, Grandpa Asher can't afford one but he just wants to be the one who picks a dress for her. Merlin also sends her shoes, since she likes Cooper's shoes, giving her one will not be bad. Too many maids to attend to her, from her dressing to her hair, and shoes, everything was perfect, so lovely that before they knew it, it was time for the party.
