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
Lerisa got into her bedroom and called Remy's phone line to thank him for taking her out and helping her secure a job in a new telecommunication company."Hello," Lerisa said as soon as the phone call connected."Yeah, good evening babe," Remy replied."I really appreciate your help earlier today, after seeing Anthony there at the roadside. Anthony just couldn't mind his own business," Lerisa said while explaining to Remy in his office that Anthony was still against her dating him."Don't mind Anthony. He is only being childish. What's his business with you, and why can't he keep his distance?" Remy inquired, sounding annoyed."I don't know. Can you believe that I also saw Anthony in his car at my father's house gate after I had arrived home. I fear that Anthony may show up at my father's house gate tomorrow again to disturb me. He keeps on saying that I am his sister, and I have told him that we are unrelated several times.""Hmm, Anthony wouldn't dare. He isn't that jobless, so you d
Lerisa assisted her mother in the kitchen in preparing their dinner. They had their dinner in the dining room; however, Lerisa avoided eye contact with James, as she knew that he was still perplexed about Benita and Anthony dating.Done with all their dinners, Lerisa found herself in the kitchen washing the dirty dishes, but James did not bother her again to make inquiries about Benita.Lerisa finally returned to her bedroom and lay on her bed and slept off.The sound of her room alarm clock woke her up from sleep. Lerisa got out of her bed and prepared to go to Remy's hotel to meet him there, so she could start her new job.She took a bath. Shortly after, she wore a seductive red dress that exposed her back.Lerisa was satisfied with how the red dress accentuated her hips and pushed up her chest, exposing her cleavage.She smiled at her reflection and thought about applying makeup on her face, as she had learned from Martha. She stood in front of her room mirror and put on makeup, pai
"How are you doing today?" Anthony inquired of Benita. The time was 6 pm when Anthony was through inspecting his house and he stood beside his sleek black car to know where Benita was."I am fine, I am at home. How was work today? I am sorry for not showing up at the company today," Benita said, sounding calm on the phone."It's alright. I understand your compliant. But that doesn't mean that you should be avoiding to call or you shouldn't request to see me. You can always come to the company to visit me if you want to," Anthony said, and Benita responded, "Okay. I will keep that in mind. Maybe by Friday, as I still would like to rest throughout this week, and until the weekend.""Hmm, so can we see? I want us to meet somewhere special. I am still processing all that you have said to me," Anthony said, and Benita replied, "Alright. Do you want to meet with me today?""Yes. Or are you not free for us to hang out? I want to show you something, and I am serious about the two of us getting
"Uhm, okay," After much hesitation, Lerisa finally accepted Emma's phone and input her phone number into the latest mobile she saw that Emma was using."I have saved my phone number into your phone. I have to go now," Lerisa said, standing up from her seat."Thank you, I will call you later. Take care of yourself," Emma replied, watching Lerisa step out of their table of two seats at the private section. Lerisa hoisted her handbag onto her shoulder and smiled at Emma as she finally left the car.Walking up to her car, Lerisa sighed as she got into her car and shut the car door behind her."Wow, so Remy truly wants to marry me. I never knew that he was so serious. Can someone marry a man that they don't really love? Does love truly grow with time in getting to know someone just like how I have gotten to know Anthony for all my life? Growing up and thinking that Anthony will marry me. Hmm," Lerisa had a frown on her face. She knew all along that Remy was serious about her, but she was st
"Nothing. I was just thinking that I hadn't expected you to purchase the house so quick. Are you truly serious about marrying me? Don't you think that it's too early for us to marry and settle down as a couple now?" Benita inquired once more, and Anthony could sense that she didn't want to marry him."What's wrong, babe? Don't you want to marry me?" Anthony asked finally. The look of hurt flashing in his eyes, and Benita quickly replied, "No. Don't get me wrong, Anthony. I was only thinking that we haven't dated for long for us to settle down quickly. I mean, we were supposed to still date for at least six months plus to determine if we can be compatible. I don't know if you are understanding what I mean."Anthony looked at Benita in disbelief. He sighed and looked away from her. His mother was right, no lady should pressure him into moving out of his parents' house and buying a house compulsorily for her."It's okay if you don't want to marry me. You can leave," Anthony said, turning
