Almyra's POV, "Why don't you take your seat before you ask?" I looked at him above me before I flushed my hair backward. "Are you sure you want me to," he stopped, before taking a deep breath. "Are you sure about that?" I hit my forehead in annoyance. "Oh my gosh Cole! Have your seat man." "That was rash but trust me I've seen more than that," his voice was barely above a whisper. He came to my front before letting out a slight sigh. "What do you want to ask me?" I looked into his eyes in anticipation. "Do you still want to ask the question?" He nodded his head. "Yeah, of course I still wanna ask you the question." "Then go on with it while I'm open for it," my tone was vevetly soft. "It's about you and your ex," he looked into my eyes and took a sip of his drink. "Why does that even matter right now?" I questioned with a hint of disgust in my voice. "That should be the least of your worries Cole." "You know I said something about him at the high-end conference right?" Hi
Almyra's POV, "What about if the both of you take a chair from there," I pointed my finger towards Xavier's direction. "Sure, I'll take that," Aurora's voice was smooth as silk and sweet as honey. "But come on, that was not fair play," Rachel scoffed and looked at Gina in the eye. Gina shrugged before chuckling in an awkward way. "If you're too fair then you would be trampled upon," a hint of seriousness played on her face. "I'm serious about it," she played with her fingers before averting her gaze from Rachel and Aurora. Rachel looked at me with a concerned gaze. "What do you say about that, ma?" "I did not say those words," I paused and heaved a sigh. "But do not let your guard down even if you're doing good." "Trust me, not everyone is like you Rachel," I gave her a reassuring look and she had a hint of relief on her face. "Sure, that's one for the diary," her lips curled into a grin. "Yes, do good to those who do you bad and traet everyone equally," I have never felt e
Almyra's POV, I walked away from where Gina sat and followed Keith who kept walking hurriedly until we reached a private spot. “What's it Keith? You called me out of the blue,” I widened my eyes in surprise. “Cole left already, angrily,” he ran his hands through his head and a sigh escaped his lips. “Is that the fucking reason why you called me?!” I clenched my fist tightly in annoyance. “I'm looking at this from another view,” his baritone mumbled. “And what's the view?” I snapped and crossed my arms in defiance. “Is it the top view or a fucking close view?!” My words tumbled out in a rush and I gritted my teeth. “This is no joke Al,” he had a hint of seriousness in his eyes. I could not overlook, I should hear what he has to say. “Okay I'm all ears now,” I nodded. “Tell me the way you see it,” I added with a sigh. “Look Al,”he paused. “The more you act this way, the more enemies you have, trust me.” I narrowed my gaze in concern and stood straight. “What do you mean by th
Almyra's POV, The four of us all looked at the place in which Malum, Keith, and Xavier were seated. "It's not a bad thing is it?" Aurora questioned and we all looked at her. "Yeah," I said as I held my gown like it was some sort of lifeline. "It's not a bad thing." "I think it's fine for a male to relate with his fellow male perfectly," I added, with a smile on my face. "Wow!" Gina mouthed, and I looked at her with a disappointed look, to which she returned. "Or did you think we should just remain silent to hear what they are saying?" Rachel asked with a teasing gaze and we all nodded. "Yes, I think that would be fine," I pressed my lips. "Okay, we do that in five," Gina exhaled slowly. "Four, three, two, one, now!" Aurora said in a calm tone and we were all silent. 'So that would be all, bye," Malum and Keith got up from their chairs and walked away. Xavier, on the other hand, made an expressionless face; at the very least, I could say he was not startled one bit. "So I wo
Almyra's POV, I don't know how I was going to tell him that Xavier and I are not divorced. Instead, I just kept staring at him, unsure of what to say. "Is that a yes or a no," he broke the silence between the both of us. "We are still married," I smirked and gulped down all the content that was in the cup before dropping it on the table in a rude manner. "What the fuck are you saying, Al?" His face twisted in confusion and he narrowed his gaze into slits. "That's not even possible, not like you guys could do a wedding behind closed doors," his words tumbled out in a rush. "I was surprised when he told me too," I scoffed before burying my face in my palms. Nature seemed to be getting the better part of me, and I was already feeling dizzy; it was taking complete charge of me. It won't be long before I start sleepwalking to my room. "We were all there that very day when you signed Al!" His voice was raised to a smooth tenor. "Are you angry that we are not divorced?" I raised an e
Almyra's POV, I walked out of the door, a slight chuckle escaped my lips as I walked out of the sitting room and shut the door behind me. "The atmosphere's a great one also," I whispered to myself, and a sigh escaped my lips as I flushed my hair backward. I was out of options on which car to pick. The white Rolls-Royce was staring at me, and, the Black Bugatti was whispering words in my ears; the grey-colored Mercedes Benz was calling out for me. I placed my hand on my waist as I kept staring at them and walking slowly behind every one of them, and I ran my hands through them. "White clothes all through," I caught my breath on hearing Malum's voice behind me. I could swear that he was not in the sitting room when I came out; I did not hear the sound of a door creaking also. How was this dude always taking me out by surprise? "Don't you think the white beast would be good?" He placed his hand under his jaw and walked towards the car with his hands in his pockets. "I was abou
Almyra's POV,Cole was standing a few meters away from Xavier, and a smile was plastered on his face.Yes, I did tell him that we would sign a deal once I see how he would benefit us, but that does not mean he gets to work here.He waved his hands towards me, I was pissed but I still maintained the smile on my face.I waved back towards him."It's a good thing you are here, ma," Aurora walked up to me with files in her arms and her arms across her chest."I promised I would get back to work on Monday, remember?" I looked her in the eyes but she was just still."Do you remember?" I came again and she widened her eyes in shock. "Y-y-yes ma," she stuttered in surprise. "I do remember." "Follow me to my office," I urged her and she nodded."By the way, where's Rachel?" I asked as Aurora, and I made it to my office. "I'm yet to see her," I added."She's currently working on some files," Aurora replied to me immediately. "She never seems to stop working." I unlocked the door and twisted
Almyra's POV,"Have your seat," I placed my index and my thumb under my chin. "Mr. Cole."He nodded. "Yeah, thank you, Ms Almyra." "You're welcome," I crossed my legs after I sat up. "Why did you come here?" "Because of that," he pointed his hand towards the paper and a smile escaped his lips. "It's my company, willing to offer that amount of money." "I think you already read the terms and conditions," his lips curled into a sly grin."Yeah," I paused. "I have done that already." My gaze was still on the paper and I felt unease surging through my veins."So what do you say?" He mumbled with his deep baritone. "Do you decline, or do you accept?" I frustratingly shook my head. "Is that the reason why you came here?" I furrowed my eyebrow in concern."Is there a problem with that?" He tilted his hand and a sigh escaped his lips."Do you think you could persuade me to close this deal?" I tapped my foot on the floor impatiently and a scoff escaped my lips.He shrugged. "Maybe?" "For a
