After the call with Jane, Kendrick left her hand and returned to his seat. “Are you okay?” He asked.“Yes,” Rosy replied.“The chef will serve the food very soon as I have made my orders,” he smiled while informing Rosy.They stayed quiet while they sipped from their wine. Kendrick wanted to say something but there was fear in his heart. Severally he tried, but several times he failed, and when he couldn't continue anymore he gave up.The chef served the dishes and Rosy dug into it without a second thought. While Rosy was eating, Kendrick was looking at her and when she had eaten a quarter of the food, Kendrick cleared his throat.“Rosy?” He called.“I am here with you,” Rosy replied, her mouth full of food.“I met with the board today,” Kendrick said.“What is the purpose of the meeting and what was discussed?” Rosy questioned still eating.“It was an impromptu meeting though, they called for me which I answered and they spoke about the wine company.”“What did they say about it?” Ros
“Hello, little Lyon,” Christopher called Lyon in the way he usually calls him when he enters his hospital room. Clara informed Christopher about what happened when they got to the hospital and found out the cause of Lyon's sudden collapse. Despite everything she told him, she was wise enough to not talk about Rosy or the role she played. She only told Christopher that Javier came to visit and brought gifts for Lyon, and when he got excited, he collapsed. Christopher had promised to check up on Lyon the next day. Clara had no idea that he was at R.B. Hospital because he didn't call her. “How did you know our room?” Clara asked, smiling widely, seeing someone she was used to. “I asked the lady at the front desk,” Christopher answered. “Uncle Chris,” Lyon exclaimed when there was a little silence. “My little man,” Christopher called out giving Lyon a thumbs up. “Thank you for coming,” Clara said and offered him a seat. “Thank you,” He replied and sat down. Turning to Lyon, “I ha
“And he is going to survive,” a voice from the door was heard.Javier had arrived earlier than expected. As soon as Clara sent him the text that Christopher was around, he left everything he was doing and ran down to the hospital.When he got to the entrance, he could hear a familiar voice that didn't belong to Christopher. He decided to wait to find out who was with Clara.After the owner of the voice has thrown many questions at Clara, he could tell that it belong to Mr. Wright. Quickly, he sent Rosy a text to inform her of Mr. Wright's presence at the hospital.Javier didn't enter even when Clara spoke about him because he was scared Mr. Wright would recognize him. He continued to listen to their conversation instead.Despite everything that was going on, he was happy for one thing, he was right. Christopher was Mr. Wright's informant, and he had shown it to Clara without him trying to find out.When Mr. Wright wished Lyon dead, he couldn't take that and he made up his mind to go i
Rosy was in a meeting with a couple, they wanted a lot of jewelry as souvenirs for their marriage.“Mr. Joe and Miss Barrett, I suggest you get these jewelry sets for the ladies who will be marching in before you to make their dressing the same, giving it that beauty, while for the other guests, jewelry like earrings for the females or bracelets for both genders,” Rosy suggested.“That sounds nice, what do you think, honey?” Mr. Joe asked his fiancee.“Not a bad idea, and besides, it's coming from the boss, Rosy Brown, it's going to be nice.” Miss Barrett praised Rosy.“You are right, I love the way she presented her suggestions. Since you are fine with it then that's it.” Mr. Joe accepted.“Thank you for the compliment, I am just making sure I satisfy my client by doing my job,” Rosy said.She won't have been the one to attend to them, she could have sent Jane to do it on her behalf or someone else, but Mr. Joe is Mr. Jack's nephew.Mr. Jack has earlier pleaded with Rosy to attend to
“Sir, your next meeting is with Mr. Blake, and it is scheduled for one pm,” Daniel informed Kendrick.Kendrick had just left a meeting. Mr. Blake was a potential client, and Kendrick has been looking up to meeting him. Mr. Blake wanted a customized jewelry set for his wife and kids.He had earlier approached Ruserick for it but later had a change of mind when, after Ruserick had put their bracelet on sale and made a huge sale, R.B. laughed theirs the next day and suppressed Ruserick's sale.Kendrick had constantly reached out to Mr. Blake's secretary to plead with him, and eventually, he agreed when it was getting too much.“Oh yes, Mr. Blake. Where is it?” Kendrick asked, his voice carrying a sense of anticipation.“His secretary said at the Kitchen Restaurant. I sent it to your email after I called you yesterday.” Daniel informed him.“You did? But I didn't get any message.” Kendrick removes his phone from the inner pocket of his suit to check for himself.He opened his mail applica
Rosy had summoned up the courage to go inform Clara and Lyon about the scheduled surgery. To her surprise, Lyon didn't look sad, rather, he was happy.He had told her he couldn't wait to come outside and prove Mr. Wright wrong and make Ronald proud. Although he requested one thing from Rosy.He requested to see Ronald before he went into the operating room, and Rosy granted his wish.Rosy kept turning all night, scared of the outcome of the surgery. When it was morning, she was the first to leave the house.“Aunt Rosy, I have been up waiting for you,” Lyon informed her happily.Lyon was more excited to see his father than to have the surgery.“I am so sorry. I had no idea you were up early. Are you prepared?” Rosy asked him.“Of course. But first, I want to see my daddy!” He exclaimed both hands lifted in excitement.Seeing how happy he was, Rosy got scared. She had heard situations where relatives went into the operating room very happy and never made it out, and people have claimed
Rosy got more scared when the nurse finally met with her. She grabbed Rosy's hand and took her to another corner far from Clara.With a sudden outburst of tears accompanied by a bright smile, the nurse announced. “Sir Ronald is finally awake.”Rosy heard a shrill sound in her ears, her hands suspended in the air while her body became still. She tried to process what she had just heard, but it seemed her brain had stopped working.“What did you say?” Rosy asked to confirm what she had heard.“Sir Ronald is awake. I called a nurse to check on him since Dr. Fred was in the operating room.” The private nurse said.She had to call a nurse because she wasn't told to do any medical checkup on Ronald, only to clean him up and check for any tiny changes.“And what was their response?” Rosy asked eagerly.“The nurse informed me that he was okay, but since he is a VIP patient, I will have to wait for Dr. Fred to come to check him personally and make a diagnosis and prescriptions.” The private nu
As soon as Rosy exited the door, she came in contact with Dr. Fred. He was matching towards Ronald's room, Rosy looked frightened.“Rosy, are you okay? Where is Ronald?” He asked.In a whisper, Rosy replied, “He is inside, and okay. I know he is going to ask you about Lyon. Tell him you have no idea who he is.”“Why?”Dr. Fred asked puzzled.Rosy scratched her head, thinking of a good excuse, and finally came up with one, “He just woke up, and Lyon, too, is still weak because of the surgery. I will explain everything to him when Lyon is strong.”Dr. Fred was about to give her a response when she remembered something, “Besides, Ronald just woke up, I have discussed a little about the company with him, which dampened his spirit, talking about Lyon will be too much for his first day being awake,” She smiled nervously.Rosy wasn't sure if what she was saying made sense, but she just wanted Dr. Fred to keep his mouth shut when he was with Ronald. She knew Ronald, he could ask the same quest
"Auny Rosy, please don't go, don't leave me, please." Lyon held Rosy's left leg, stopping her from walking.After Rosy announced her return to her home, Lyon had been moody and even cried at some point. Rosy didn't allow him to leave her sight, and he wasn't ready to leave her alone either.Rosy couldn't do anything because Lyon wanted her to marry him, which she had no choice but to do. Lyon slept in her arms, but when she tried to drop him on the bed, he would wake up and begin to cry.Rosy will calm him down, and he will sleep off again. They continued that way till Lyon finally slept deep, and Rosy could then arrange her things before she slept beside him.When it was morning, Rosy quickly got dressed, ready to leave because Lyon waking up would be a disaster. She got to the living room where Clara and Ronald were sadly waiting for her."But you can stay for a few more days, right?" Clara asked tears gathered in her eyes."I would have loved to, but I have been away from home for
“Welcome, Aunt Rosy; I miss you.” Lyon, who was the first to see Rosy, welcomed her with a hug.When Rosy left, Lyon had been alone all day as no one played with him. He was tired of speaking with his parrot and had left it inside his room while he stayed in the living room waiting for no one.Ronald and Clara were both resting in their room, and Javier and Oswald were both working on something that was taking a lot of their time because they didn’t come out for breakfast.“Oh my little Champ, how are you?” Rosy hugged him and kissed him on his head.“I am fine but have been alone since you left. Everyone is busy, and no one has time for me.” Lyon complained, looking pitiful.Rosy felt a sharp pain in her heart when Lyon made his complaint. Lyon was just a child but was forced to live the life only an adult could live. No friends, he doesn’t go to school and he doesn’t go out freely to maybe see what the world looks like.“Very soon, Little Champ, you will have a lot of friends that y
“I still need an explanation of how you pulled all these with Emma,” Rosy whispered before the waiter got to them.Kendrick laughed when he looked at Rosy, and her brow was arched. They made their orders, and when the waiter left to get it, Kendrick looked at Rosy, and again, she had arched her brow.Kendrick bent his head and chuckled lightly, but when Rosy cleared her throat, which showed she was serious, Kendrick then decided to open up.“I apologize again for not asking you out on this date directly, which is the appropriate way, but then, I wanted it to be a surprise. We have been close for a while now as working partners and as a couple, but I did mess up before, and I don’t want to act as if that never happened because I do not know if you have forgiven me. So please, allow me to ask, have you forgiven me?” Kendrick asked.Kendrick has a lot to unveil, and before he can freely do that, he needs to be very sure that Rosy has forgiven him, else he is wasting his time because what
"Aunt Rosy, are you going to work today?” Lyon had entered Rosy’s room to ask her about her activity for the day.“No Champ, you have somewhere in mind you want me to accompany you to?” Rosy asked casually because she wasn’t expecting Lyon to have anywhere to go.“No, I just want to stay with you the whole day and tell you everything that happened while I was with Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Grace,” Lyon said looking around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.“Lyon, are you serious when you said the whole day?” Rosy asked, her eyes almost popping out, to which Lyon nodded.Rosy had no idea that her little nephew could be a gist partner, but since she knows, then she was going to make good use of it.“You don’t want me to stay with you the whole day? Then I can stay for half a day.” Lyon said, advertising his skills.“Of course, I have missed you so much, and I would really love to enjoy your company for the whole day, but I will be going out later in the day, I h
"Hmmm... Finally, back to Oxagon." Clara and Ronald said together after they stepped out of the plane.When they left the resort and were heading to Diavolo airport, they were already missing their experience there, especially the memories they created. Last night after dinner was packed with fun for them.They both ate themselves out till they were tired. The staff and the management of the resort bid them goodbye and also presented a gift to them. They were also taken to the airport by the resort driver and security."I wish we didn't have to leave so soon," Clara said.Ronald walked to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "We are going back there again, and I promise, we will be spending more days there.""I know you will do that, but I miss Diavolo," Clara said, teary-eyed."Should we go back and then you will forget about being a model?" Ronald threatened although he was only joking.Clara jumped back, her lips slightly apart and her eyeballs almost popping out. "That's a cr
When Rosy had fully rested, she woke up, and to her surprise, she had been sleeping for hours, and it was almost closing time.Kendrick was still there with her, gently stroking her hair and also playing a song that helped her sleep more. After a few minutes of being up and trying to process how she slept for that long, it dawned on her that she hadn't met with any clients.With her sleepy eyes, Rosy turned to Kendrick, who was looking at her while trying to massage his thigh with his hand, and said, "Why did I sleep for this long?""I also don't have any idea why, but all I can say is that you over-stressed yourself yesterday, and the night rest was not enough for your body, and that brings me to telling you again, you should rest more," Kendrick explained and advised."Okay, I will. What about the clients I was supposed to meet?" Rosy asked."About the client," Kendrick said with a small smile on his face and then continued, "They didn't come. Each of them sent a text with one excus
“But Mine, that’s unfair. Don’t I deserve special treatment also? My sister had favored you more all through our stay here; did you both plan it?” Ronald asked with a frown on his face.He was angry and jealous of the fact that everything Rosy planned, while they stayed in the resort was for Clara’s happiness and not his. Yes, he was happy because Clara was happy and didn’t take it to heart, but hearing of the special dressing treatment, he was pained.Ronald was still finding it difficult to believe what Rosy had planned. If the planning of their stay was done by someone else, he wouldn’t be angry or sad, although he might be jealous, but Rosy knew all his likes and dislikes but didn’t consider any of them.“Firstly, I didn’t know she had all these in mind, and secondly, I am the newest member of the Brown family. I will be her only sister-in-law, and I also consider her needs too, so she is just treating me right.” Clara said.“I see. Now that you are a member of the Brown family, I
“Chairman, please can I have a word with you? Please.” Mr. Piper requested, almost going down on his knees to plead with Rosy.Rosy rolled her eyes and turned to Mr. Piper who was still pleading. She stared at him for a few minutes and ushered him in without using words and Mr. Piper understood as he followed her into the company.They got to Rosy’s office but Kendrick was there already waiting for Rosy with a table set with different dishes. Rosy offered him a seat in the small space in her office before the main office and went in to meet and speak with Kendrick.“Hey Honey,” Rosy said.“Hello Wifey,” Kendrick responded.Kendrick didn’t realize immediately that Rosy had called him a pet name for the first time in a long time, but after he responded, he realized it, and with a smile on his face and a finger pointed at himself, he asked Rosy.“Wifey, did you just call me honey?”“Yes, I did. Should I take it back?” Rosy asked.“Hell no!” Kendrick almost yelled and continued, “I am jus
Good morning, Wifey, still in bed?” Kendrick asked while on an early morning call with Rosy.Rosy had woken up earlier but had returned to sleep because she didn’t feel like getting up. The previous day was very stressful for her and it seems her body was yet to get the amount of rest it needed.She had slept a little longer after she woke up when Kendrick’s call came in. Rosy groaned when the shrill sound from her phone speaker woke her up. She checked the time because she thought and felt she had not slept for long when Kendrick’s call came in.Immediately she saw the time, she was shocked because after she woke up, she had slept for another three hours before Kendrick called but to her, it felt like she had barely slept. Still feeling sleepy, Rosy answered the call and from the lazy and sleepy sound she was making, Kendrick could tell she was still sleeping.“I woke up earlier but was still too tired to get up, so I slept back,” Rosy explained to Kendrick as she answered his questi
