After Anthony's dinner with his parents had ended, he retired back to his bedroom to rest. He got a phone call from Benita.Anthony wasn't in the mood to speak to Benita. He rather switched off his phone as he was irritated with the fact that his mother was in support of Remy to marry Lerisa.It was already nighttime. Anthony sighed and lay on his bed trying to sleep.He remembered his childhood days with Lerisa when he usually invited her over to escort him around. They toured their neighborhood together and sometimes received comments from people that they were probably a couple."Hmm, but it's not right. Why does Mom want me to marry Lerisa?" Anthony was unable to sleep. He got out of his bed and went to search his closet for where he had safely kept the engagement ring that he bought for Clara Harry.Anthony didn't find the ring in his closet. He walked out of his bedroom and searched his bed drawer. There he saw the ring box.He opened and stared at the lovely diamond ring sittin
Mrs. Antonia looked stunned on seeing the beautiful young woman who walked out to their living room. She had almost forgotten this young, pretty woman was her first daughter."Lerisa!" Mrs. Antonia let out a gasp."Oh my goodness! Where are you going to dressed like a model? And the makeup too?" Mrs. Antonia continued to question Lerisa."Mom, I am going out with Martha to take her to her school. You don't expect me to look dull," Lerisa lied, but a blush curved her pretty face."Hmm. I wouldn't believe that you are only taking Martha to her school and looking this cute, but it's fine." Mrs. Antonia finally agreed. However, James walked out to the living room and shouted, "My Goodness! Baby sister, where are you off to?"James had known Lerisa was not one for makeup, but, seeing her in a different look, she smiled and replied, "I am just going out. Why are all of you looking surprised? Am I not free to go outside of this house again?"Lerisa asked her family shortly after taking her se
Remy smiled at Lerisa and said, "Oh! You're here already? Come in."Remy pretended like he didn't know who Ben was and he escorted Lerisa into his office by holding Lerisa's left hand warmly. He guided her into his executive office and shut the door on Ben.Ben's brows furrowed as he wondered what Lerisa was doing in Remy's office. He shrugged off the feelings of the fact that Lerisa could be dating a man like Remy.He said, "I doubt they're dating."Ben left after getting a phone call from his company about the urgent need of his service.Meanwhile, Lerisa walked into Remy's office in her stunning yellow dress. She took a seat in one of Remy's office guest chairs and watched Remy walk up to the bar in his office to offer her some drinks."What can I offer you?" Remy inquired. However, Lerisa held a warm smile on her face as she admired his office.Sue thought Remy had a unique taste like Anthony too, as Remy's office had a simple look and was painted in white."Nothing. I am fine," ca
Meanwhile, Remy stood on his office balcony, observing the parking lot. He saw when Anthony had arrived and how Lerisa had ignored responding to Anthony.Lerisa left without giving Anthony a proper response. Remy knew that he was a player before. But he wasn't a player anymore and was ready to prove his profound love to Lerisa.Remy had such a desire to have her. He took a final look at the blue ring box in his hands that he was still holding. Remy shut it closed and decided to head home.He didn't care what Anthony came to his hotel to do, nor did he want to confront Anthony about why he had told Lerisa not to date him.Remy simply closed for the day and went home to his family house to see his mother and to plead with his mother to visit Lerisa's family house to propose his intention of marrying Lerisa.Meanwhile, Anthony was still stunned by how Lerisa had navigated him, looking sad. He had a stoic expression on his face throughout the meeting with his business partners.He simply
"Okay," Benita turned and finally exited Anthony's office."Hmm," Anthony didn't look pleased after hearing what Benita had told him."Buy a house for her and also a car to prove my love for her... Where's that done?" Anthony was questioning himself.As the day drew to a closing hour in Anthony's office, he rose from his office seat and went home. He contemplated buying a new house if that would make Benita marry him, besides his mother wanted him to settle down and he had no intention of marrying Lerisa.Thinking about Lerisa, Anthony finally left his office at the L.H group to head home to his parents' house. He drove past the street that led to Lerisa's family house and thought about how she had almost embarrassed him on the last day he visited her home.As much as Anthony wanted to see Lerisa at that moment to find out why she had scurried away from Remy's hotel, he decided to head home to his family house instead and make preparations for where he would see a house to purchase for
Lerisa didn't say anything to her mother again. After her mother was through cooking the delicious vegetable soup, Lerisa assisted her mother in serving the meals on the dining table.She had her dinner quietly with her mother, brother, and her father too. Lerisa finished and went into the kitchen, washing off all the dirty dishes, then she retired to her room, thinking about what she would do."Hmm, I will accept Remy's proposal since he's serious with me."Lerisa took out her phone and called Remy. The phone call connected, and she heard his deep male voice say to her, "Hello, Lerisa.""Good evening," Lerisa sounded nervous.She hadn't thought that Remy would pick up her call."How are you doing tonight?" Remy inquired."I am fine. I am calling you based on what happened earlier today in your office," Lerisa nervously said."No problem about that," Remy replied calmly. "I can understand your parents' decision, but I am serious about you.""Hmm. Okay, I will accept but we won't get ma
Anthony arrived at the new house he had bought for himself. The home was beautiful, consisting of five rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a restroom.Satisfied with the interior decoration and the outlook of the mansion after touring the house he had chosen, Anthony finally left the new house location and went back to his company.He knew that he still had to purchase a car for Benita and use it to finally propose his love to her.However, as Anthony made his way back to his company headquarters, he spotted Lerisa on the way. She wore a long sleeveless gown that accentuated her hips and shape, paired with black shoes.Lerisa had left her father's home earlier as she went out in search of a job. She was bored staying at home and decided not to use her car to easily find job posters and other application signboards.The sun was hot, and as Lerisa was without her car, Anthony wondered where Lerisa was going. He drove past her and parked ahead along the way."Lerisa," he called her name.
"I have to go now babe," Benita finally waved her goodbye to James, and he responded, "Okay, babe. We will get to see tomorrow. Take care."James kissed Benita lightly on her forehead before she finally walked away.She got into her white car parked outside James's father's house. Then she drove off first and contemplated calling Anthony after she had exited Lerisa's family street."My goodness! I didn't know that James was Lerisa's older brother. That witch! No wonder I felt like I had seen someone who resembles James lately. Why did I not remember Lerisa in time?"Benita kept murmuring as she feared that her relationship with Anthony could have crashed.Benita drove ahead to a nearby junction and parked to give Anthony a phone call.Anthony arrived at his father's house. He saw his phone ringing as soon as he parked in their garage.He picked up the phone and saw that Benita was the one calling him."What does she want again?" Anthony grimaced, but he finally picked up Benita's call
