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
Almyra's POV,"Don't you ever get tired?" My face contorted in anger and disgust.Xavier walked in hurriedly and grabbed Cole by the cloth before pushing him backward in anger."What the fuck is going on here?" His voice echoed in the room. "Rachel told me about it.""Told you what?" I questioned in surprise."That you had a look of unease on your face, and a man was here with you," his voice was laced with anger, but there was a hint of care in it."We were just talking about business," Cole already gained his stance and he adjusted his suit. "Isn't it." "Yeah, a deal that I said no to," I scoffed. "But you tried persuading me into signing it, isn't it?" I marched towards him and gave him the hundred dollar note that fell out of his pocket. "You might be needing this." "Thank you for that," he smiled mischievously. "Thanks for your time, Ms Stones." He looked at Xavier and his lips curled into a sly grin. "I'm not angry for what you did."Xavier walked up to him with a clenched f
Almyra's POV,My mouth was still opened when my phone chimed again but I rushed downstairs.My brothers were already there, I guess they saw it already. "Who the fuck did this?" Malum's gaze was strongly fixed on mine. "This is bullshit."I looked at the article with the head captioned as "CEO OF QUANTUM SPHERES IN LOVE CIRCLE OF XAVIER AND COLE.”The photos of Xavier and I in the restaurant was uploaded and the photo of Cole from when he placed his hand close to me in the office was also uploaded."Cole came close t-t-t to me this time," I stuttered in shock. "He tried closing a deal with me and I refused.""What do you think you can do about it?" Keith placed his hand on his waist and a sigh escaped his lips."You need to clear yourself of this," Keiran's baritone voice made my gaze shift towards him."From the–"I paused after my phone rang, it was Xavier and I showed it to my brothers
Almyra's POV,The reporters stood at the front of the building with their cameras and microphone.I clenched my fist in frustration.It's funny how fake news spreads overnight that these bastards have to show up at the entrance in Quantum Spheres headquarters."What do you have to say about the article that was posted about you?" A woman who seemed to be in her mid-thirties came towards me with the camera in her hand.Two of the security men rushed towards me and took her away from where I was standing.As they were guiding me to the entrance she came back again and asked the same question.I stopped and locked my eyes on her eyes. "Like I said," I paused and a sigh escaped my lips. "Wait for the fucking date." I snapped at her rudely and she dropped the camera down.Another one came towards me but I intercepted his speech. "Don't ask me a single question.""It won't be nice if I see the person that did that," I added.They all tried to get me to speak, but the security cleared the w
