“You are right. So, how is your wife?”Denise looked at his father and answered with excitement, “My wife is fine. Thank you, father.”“And the baby?”Denise, who looked bewildered at his father, merely smiled and the father understood.“It is all right. Please take care of them.”“I will. Thank you, father.”They discussed on the official matters from the production section that brought him and thereafter, he took his leave.“All right, father. By the way, how is mom? Her phone was switched off when I called earlier.”“Yes, her phone is switched off. She needed to rest.”“Does that means that she did not go to work?”“Yes. She is resting at home.”“All right. See you tomorrow.”“Goodbye.”At The Lonely Road.Arthur's desire to marry Nichole as quickly as possible prompted him to change his route that morning. After he bade Nichole farewell, he gave the security guards he attached to his apartment and his janitor the following instructions.“My wife is in the bedroom because she neede
Then, he walked to the backyard, and he was surprised to see a strange car. Now, he stared open-mouthed at the car, and when he found his bearing, he dialed his boss’ number. Nevertheless, he waited anxiously for his phone to ring, but to his consternation, his phone was switched off.“How and when did this car get to this place?” The janitor asked himself. However, the barrister and his squad were getting impatient, so they knocked on the door. The knock broke the janitor's reverie, and he walked briskly back to the door.“Where is your boss, young man?” The barrister asked the twenty-two years old lanky boy who was nervous due to the look on the barrister's face and the presence of the police men. He attempted answering his question, but found himself stammering, “I, I, wish I know. He walked in a few minutes ago and…”“I hope you are not hiding something from us?” The barrister asked further.“No, Sir. I am not hiding anything from you.”The barrister looked at the two police men w
“We are getting married tomorrow.”Nichole was astonished and asked, “Why? It was supposed to be on Thursday.”“Yes. We have been working on the wrong date. We would have missed tomorrow if I had not gone to the registry today to find out.”“It is good that you went. What time, please?”“The time is 9: am. We are keeping it as low keyed as possible.”“It is okay. I love you, hubby.”“I love you too, we will tie the knot tomorrow. I cannot wait to be your legal husband,” he hinted and dropped his necktie on the wardrobe. “I feel the same way too. So that I will be free from the negative rumor from friends and colleagues.”If only Nichole had known how scared he was about her friends, she would have kept her mouth shut. He asked, making sure that his tone did not betray him.“What questions do they ask?”Nichole gave him a warm-hearted response.“Arthur had refused to remarry because of your presence in his life. Why not remarry so that he can be free to remarry, too? So many silly qu
At the Bailey Native Home.Arthur and his wife spent most of their day in the bedroom. Nichole arranged the clothes she would put on the next day. Subsequently, she picked up a novel and began to read. Arthur was on the reading desk working, when he began to get calls from clients and partners, he moved to his study to avoid disturbing his wife who was reading her novel.“I will be at the study.”She nodded her head in the affirmative. Afterward, she slept off when she got tired of reading, while her husband joined her in the bedroom by 6:00 pm. He was able to settle most of the work that needed his attention, which he was unable to settle because of the appearance of people like Mr. Christopher Harry. At 7:00 pm, he woke his wife up for dinner.“Nichole, it is time for dinner.”Nichole opened her eyes slowly, she looked at the wall clock and discovered that it was 7:00 pm.“Wow!” She exclaimed. Then, she got off the bed and dressed up for dinner. At the dinner table, they discussed o
Tuesday Morning at DoverAfter sorting out Nichole's wears the previous night, they went to bed full of hope for the next day. They woke up in the morning at their usual waking time and prepared for their great day. After their breakfast, they walked out of the house to board their vehicle. To their surprise, Nichole's car was not at the parking lot. The, the bewildered Arthur turned to the security guard who was standing beside them and waiting for them to drive out, so he could lock the mini gate and asked, “Didn't Zoey return the vehicle yesterday?”“No boss.”“Why didn't you inform us?”“I am sorry, boss. I thought she informed you.”Now, Mr. Bailey looked at Nichole who was standing by the passenger's door before he walked to her, opened the door and remarked.“Maybe she drove to her house when she got off work.”“It is possible, but she should have kindly let me know.”Nichole pointed out before she got into the car. Mr. Bailey walked to the driver's side and got into the car to
“Mr. Edmonton, meet my boss, Mr. Louis Bailey. Boss, meet Mr. Rex Edmonton, the client I have been expecting from the USA.”Eric introduced. Likewise, Louis stretched out his hand to the surprised client, who accepted it for a handshake and said, “Welcome to my humble office, Mr. Edmonton. Kindly, take your seat.”He took his seat in amazement, as well as Eric.“Thank you, Mr. Bailey. I'm much honored to meet with you at last. I have heard so much about you.”Now, Louis chuckled and teased, “That is good. I hope that what you have heard about me are not negative things.”The three laughed and Mr. Edmonton continued, “To be candid, I was expecting…”“An old man,” Louis interrupted and completed his statement for him. He smiled and demanded.“How do you know what I wanted to say?”“I am aware of what you wanted to say because I am used to such remarks from clients. All the same, you are welcome. What do I offer you, tea or coffee?” Louis asked with finality, and Mr. Rex, Edmonton got
“Thank you, big sister. Thank you, brother-in-law. We appreciate."“Thank you, Uncle Phil and Aunty Freya. Do mention me to Daniel, please,” Olivia appreciated too.“I will. I will bring him over to see you this weekend.”“That will be fine. Let him come with his piano keyboard, please.”“I will. Bye.”Meanwhile, Arthur drew his newly wedded wife who was sitting on the passenger's seat to himself and gave her the kind of kiss he had wanted to give to her at the registry. Thereafter, he declared.“You are my legally married wife and nothing can separate us. You are mine forever.”“Yes. I am yours and you are mine.”“I will take you to work before I go to mine. You can flaunt that we are officially husband and wife. Did you get me?”“It is all right, hubby. I got you.”“You can give your colleagues a treat if you wish.”“All right, hubby. Then I will need to get some comestibles and drinks.”“It is all right. Let's go to the grocery.”They got to the grocery and bought all that they nee
With such statement, they concluded that she had married a grotesque and was hiding him, and that explained why she did not invite them. While they were chatting, she handed out their packs of comestibles and drinks to them. Both friends and foes, collected and appreciated. Then, Lorene Walker spoke,“Now that you are married, Arthur will consider remarrying. I am happy for you.”Nevertheless, Nichole gave a deaf ear to their jesting because they were the same group of people who taunted her often with repulsive comments like,(Arthur had refused to remarry because of your presence in his life. Why not remarry so that he can be free to remarry too?)Before, now, such idle talk hurt her, especially when she remembered that Arthur kept ignoring her. Now, she would absorb such comment and keep her head high as the legitimate and famous First Lady of the Bailey's Family. So, she did not give their idle talks a thought, and she concentrated on handing out the packs to her colleagues, and
