MELTED HIS FROZEN HEART OLIVIA'S REJJECTION 69
“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

Now, Louis logged in to the family platform to take a look at the pictures from the marriage ceremony. Then, his eyes went straight to his Olivia who was standing beside her husband, while Arthur and Nichole were standing in the middle. Freya and her husband also stood at the other side of the couple. He zoomed the photograph and fixed his eyes on Olivia's baby bump, which had protruded for a few seconds before he noticed that he was tearing up. To his surprise, Olivia was looking chubby and more beautiful, and her smile was captivating as usual.'Today, she is happy, while I am sad. Irony of life. I was smoking nonchalantly, while she was weeping the day she left my house.'Then, his secretary who he was working on a file with him before his father's call came in, and walked back to her office to give him the time to speak with his father, walked back to his office. To her perturbation, he was not aware that she walked into the office. He was staring at his phone while tears flowed

He took his seat while the doctor took his seat too. He allowed him to calm down before he asked questions that would distract him from Olivia.“I'm not aware that the chairman got married today?”“Yes. He did. It was a low-key wedding.”“I see. Then you should be happy.” Louis just smiled. The doctor was happy to see him smile, and proceeded with his questions.“Have you had your lunch?”“No. And I don't wish to have lunch from the canteen.”“Which one do you wish to have?”“Tea and biscuit would be OK.”“Can we go to your house for lunch? Since you like homemade food.” Louis laughed softly and asked the doctor. “Are you inviting yourself over to my house for lunch?”The doctor laughed too and responded, “Certainly because I offered you mine, and you declined, so your homemade food would suffice.”“Well, if you are not too busy, I would not mind.”The doctor, who had been writing while they were chatting, dropped his pen and inquired in an officious tone.“Can we talk, Mr. Bailey?”

Now, Nichole's phone had booted, and she began to go through her messages to check if there was any message from Zoey. The messages she got were mainly best wishes from her children and many other numbers that were not on her contact list. She looked at her husband, who was already upset, and said, “Hubby, she did not send any message to me.”“Kindly let me have the phone,” her husband requested.Now, she handed over her phone to him and laid on his thighs. Now, many thoughts went through his mind, but he did not wish to scare her by saying that Zoey must have been abducted, and the abductors may contact her for a ransom since it was her car that Zoey used. Out of curiosity, he carefully, read through the messages from the random numbers one after the other. His eyes beamed when he got to the message that Stephen Bailey sent to her. (Nichole, it is unfortunate that we have to meet like this. I had to take you away so that I can give you the love that you deserve. Arthur does not have

At The Underground.Stephen and his partner had glued their eyes to the television for news about the wolves. To their amazement, the authority was not saying anything about them.“Why is the police not saying anything about the wolves?” The disheveled Stephen asked. Meanwhile, Jude will as always give him an encouraging reply.“Your phone had been switched off. You only turned it on when you sent a message to your woman yesterday and switched it off again. They might have sorted themselves out and are trying to reach you."“You may be right. You have just reminded me. I will send another message to my woman right away.”(Nichole love, how are you doing? I will be back to town very soon, and we will begin to process our marriage. Love from Stephen.)The words of his partner which assured him that the wolves must have sorted themselves gave him fresh impetus and encouragement. At Stephen's Residence.After the police knocked and announced that it was the police, Zoey, became expectant

The police who were astonished when they saw him inside the house that they could not penetrate got off their vehicles at once and ran towards the window and attempted to open the parlor door but could not.“Go through the back door,” Arthur advised. Just like lightening, they were inside the house.“What happened, Mr. Bailey? How did you get in?”“Where is the janitor?” The two police officers asked in a mad rush.“Come this way,” He ordered, and led them to the room where the lifeless body of Zoey was. “What?”They screamed. One of them brought out hand gloves from his pocket, put them on and checked her pulse. He looked at his colleague with an assuring look.“She can make it.”They took photographs that were vital to them, picked her and left. Then, Arthur gave Phil the car key, and advised, “Take. Drive my wife's car. Let us go.”“That is fine, father.”Now, the police walked back to the front yard, with one of them carrying a lifeless woman who looked like the wife of the disgr

Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea

He may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy

The facinorous and pretentious Stephen paused and looked at the lawyer to read his countenance, but it was unreadable. Then he proceeded and feigned a sob.“Please, I am pleading, join me to plead with Arthur not to exact vengeance on me. You can see my dilemma. I know I have erred, but, let him spare me this time. I promise I will not be incautious again.”Now, some family heads believed him and had compassion on him, while some refused to take his apology that was not good enough for them, as they turned up their noses at him. Then, the family head of Oscar, who was not happy with how he abducted Zoey, felt it was time to strike, and spoke.“Stephen, you promised you will not be incautious again; incautious over what? Is it the kidnapping of our wives or attempting to sow seeds of discordance in our families?”Such an incisive speech dug up Stephen's iniquities, which the family heads were about to forget. They became infuriated and shouted on top of their voices.“We will not plead

Now, Brown was at the barracks at 7 am because of the meeting. As the head of his family, he knew what to expect from the other family heads, but he was prepared for them.“Good morning to you, our Patriarch.”“Good morning, Brown. How are you?”“As you can see, I am good. What about you?”“I could not catch a sleep last night because of today’s meeting.”“It is expected. We cannot run away from our responsibilities.”“You are right. If those ahead of us had run away from theirs, who knows where we would have been by now.”“You are right.”Then, the scumbag, Stephen, walked in and greeted, “Good morning, our Patriarch. Good morning, my family head.”The two elders looked at him searchingly. They did not bother to respond to his greeting nor glimpse at him. The Patriarch ordered without looking at his face.“Wait in the hall.”“Thank you, our Patriarch,” The momentarily repentant Stephen said, and walked to the hall in the courtyard and took his seat. He watched the family heads trickl

Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th

“I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him

Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental
