Xander slowly opens his eyes, feeling Susan's warmth against his chest. He looks at the clock on his nightstand and realizes that it's already past seven o'clock in the evening. He gently pats her hair and whispers into her eyes softly, "Hey, wake up, sleepyhead." Smiling with beams of happiness.She stares around for a while and slowly opens her eyes, looking up at him. Seeing the smile on his face, she smiles back at him. "Hey, what time is it?" she asks as she observes the sky through the window. She stands up, still groggy from sleep."It's past seven, and I need to get going." He replies to her, sitting up in bed.Susan, sitting up as well, rubs her eyes. "Already? You're leaving now?" she asks, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.He gives her a reassuring smile. "Yes, but don't worry, I'll be back soon. You need to get some rest, so you'll be fresh from work tomorrow. From now henceforth, I will visit you and whenever I drop you off from work, we'll have dinner before I
As John drives to drop ketty home, he changes route. Before she could ask him where they are headed. "Hey Ketty, let's go check out my house! I want you to know my place, come and visit when possible and if you want to come sleep over. Though most of the time I come back here only during weekends." He says to her. "Though I don't come back week days but because I now have a baby who will eagerly wait for me, I will try coming back once or twice before the week runs out, and am back for the weekend." He assures her."Sure, I'd love to do that and seeing you it is! A great joy, but if you don't come to me, I will come to you at your workplace, agreed?" She concurs with him, giving him her own part.Still shocking at how open she is and the fact she has her own confidence makes him happy. He smiles, bursting out to laugh at her, "Alright, let's go. We are almost close to my place. It's not too far from here." He gives her hope, as their journey is quite a long one, though not far anymore
Monday mornings are always a rush for workers, especially Mr Xander. He groggily wakes up, his eyes still adapting to the early morning light. He quickly gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom to brush his teeth and take a shower, as it's Monday and work calls. As he steps out of the shower, he takes glances at the clock and realizes that he needs to hurry if he wants to beat the morning traffic and accomplish seeing Susan this morning. He quickly puts on his clothes and rushes out of the door, grabbing his keys from the table on his way out.He hops into his car and starts the engine, ready to face another day at work. But today, he has a surprise in store for his one and only baby, Susan. He makes a stop on his way and picks her up to work. As he drives towards Susan's place, he can feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He's happy, expecting to see the look on her face when she sees him. As he pulls up outside her apartment, he sees her stepping out of the building."Sur
It's Tuesday morning, after yesterday's busy day, after Mr Xander drops her off after work before going home. Susan's phone rings loudly, waking her up with a frown on her. She steals a glance at the screen of her phone, bleary-eyed, and saw that it was Ava calling. She hesitates for a moment, wondering why Ava was calling her at this hour, but then she answers the call. "Hello?" she says slowly."Susan, it's Ava," saying urgently. "I just got a call from Mr Dickson. He wants you to meet him at a hotel this morning to discuss some business updates. He's driving and can't meet you in his office."Susan's heart races. Mr Dickson is one of the key client, and any meeting with him is important. She quickly runs through her daily schedule for the day, trying to figure out what she will wear that fits in this meeting. "What time does he want us to meet him?" she asks Ava.Without hesitation "At 8:00 a.m.," Ava replies here.Susan checks her phone and sees that it's already 6:15 a.m. She kno
Susan has been waiting in the hotel lobby for Mr. Dickson for over half an hour as he left her over there with the excuse of finding out a more quiet place for them to discuss. She then gets worried when she sees him approaching her, flashing a friendly smile. "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Susan," he says, gesturing towards the elevator. "The lobby is too noisy. Let's go to my room."She cannot understand why a room in a big hotel as this. Susan nods, showing a little hesitant but doesn't want to be rude. As they walk towards the elevator, stepping into it, she feels a pang of apprehension, but pushes it away. She follows him into the room, taking a seat on the couch, while he goes to put a call across to the minibar and orders a couple of drinks."I hope you don't mind, Susan," he sarcastically mutters, holding out a glass of whiskey towards her. "It's been a long morning."In resistance, she shakes her head. "No, thank you, sir. I don't drink. Especially outside." She recalls her
Susan's faint as she was leaving his office made Xander scared. Though some workers are there at the hospital with her. Susan is being attended to by his sister Ketty, everyone who is present at the hospital, overheard the last conversation Mr Xander had with Susan and they gossip around it, saying he is the reason she is unconscious. As they all stand right outside her own room, Dr Ketty walks out and everyone spot their eyes on what she wants to say to prolong the day. Dr Ketty, playing calmly with them, chuckles, laughing out. "She's good now. If you are thinking of going inside to see her, then that shouldn't be accompanied by any iota of noise. Please, it's a hospital."While everyone enters and waits, she opens her eye, only to see herself lying on the hospital bed, with her head spinning and her body aching. She can hear voices around her, but everything sounds odd and far away. Gradually, her vision clears, she sees a group of people gathered around her, including Mr. Xander.
Ava takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I'm not asking you to be my pawn. I'm only asking you to be my partner. We agreed to do this together." Ava says before hearing the beeping sound of call disconnection. Ava's patience snaps. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She knows that Mr. Dickson was right to be cautious, but also knows that they can't back out now. They have come too far to give up now and giving up means Mr Xander the man she's been longing for. The reason behind all this. Will never be hers.Ava calls her friend, who was also involved in the plan. Mrs Tina, who is the primary planner to the deal of satisfying her desires as they both relate, haven been in the same situation. Mrs Tina picks up after a few rings, her voice cheerful. "Hey, Ava! How's it going?" Saying to Ava, expecting good news.Ava takes a deep breath before responding. "I just got off the phone with Mr Dickson. He's backing out of the plan. Saying it's risky and th
It's a new day, and the sun is rising, shading its golden glow across the city. Mr Xander wakes up early, ready to start his day. He takes his time getting dressed for the day, after dressing, stands in the mirror and pointing to himself. "You're smart, you're bold, you're the best version of yourself, you're on the right track." He nods his head proclaim positivity to himself and heads out the door, ready to tackle whatever challenges the day may bring. As he drives to work as usual picks up his baby Susan, who is done getting ready and standing outside waiting for him. "Good morning, Susan." He greets her with a smile of great joy on his face."Good morning, Mr Xander," Susan replies, returning the smile. "Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, judging from your smiles and the joy I feel around you." She mentions out to him "Yes, it does," he agrees as he navigates the busy streets. "Hey how are you doing? Before I forget, you are looking exquisite today." He finally comments
