Jordan stared at Isabella, he was not pleased with her actions nor Kunle's. They keep arguing at the slightest provocation.

  Can't one of them learn to ignore the other for the sake of peace? They bring their personal grudges into the work.

   Even Tina the new detective will soon guess there's something about them, that is if she hasn't guessed already? 

   Tina is the smart type. She can read things by just giving it a glance. He expected them to behave themselves properly if not because of him at least for Tina's sake.

   Isabella glanced at Kunle and saw the latter staring at her. They both locked eyes for a few seconds until Isabella took her eyes away.

    Tina paused and stared at her speechless. She had another reason for letting her come to her place?And the reason is related to Jordan? How can that be? Wound, healing, get closer and blablabla. Whatever.Isabella stood and stared back at her without blinking an eyelid. Tina didn't want to probe further and said " we'll talk when I return"Isabella nodded and smiled faintly.

That's what friends do for each other, to be a source of support to each other.They needed to be the shoulders that Isabella leans on in times like these.

And she wouldn't tell me what's wrong with her either"Tina disclosed.

    Tina got in and sank into the sofa. She had a great evening with Jordan but almost soiled it when she sent her regards to Rachel.Jordan's smile suddenly disappeared. He looked gloomy and she wanted to ask him if anything was wrong when he said "good night" and drove off.What happened, was she wrong to say that? Or she didn't say it properly? She was going to rehearse it to Isabella's hearing and asked her if anything was wrong with it."Welcome" Isabella said, stepping out of her bedroom and taking a seat opposite Tina. She couldn't sleep, she was waiting for her to return." Thanks Isa" Tina replied and yawned. She's feeling sleepy already or could it be that she's tired?

    Tina blinked her eyes and sighed. She's not yet able to gulp down all she said about Jordan. What does she want to ask that she termed it 'favour'?"A favour?" Tina asked and Isabella noded. She had discovered that Jordan was getting along with her well and who knows, she might be the cure for his obsession." It's about Jordan please.

The gate itself cost a fortune."Are you Senator Duro's son?" Tina asked, surprised. She just remembered that Jordan's last name was Duro." Yeah...is there a problem?"

    Jordan shook his head. They didn't agree to meet in Duro's Mansion. Why is Jora bringing up a request now? "No my love, we didn't tell her she will be coming to the Mansion" Jordan shook off the idea."But daddy, if you tell her, she isn't going to say no. Why don't you just tell her the lunch will be in the house. Just tell her dad, I trust she won't mind" Jora declared.Jordan disagreed. He can't tell her to come over to the house. He hadn't said anything about it to her, he doesn't want to appear like an opportunist." No Jora. She won't come to the house and if you insist on having it your way, I will call it off" Jordan threatened.The chauffeur was surprised. The young miss was happ

She is not in some relationship with Jordan and doesn't want to give his parents a false impression." I... actually.. I.. have a date with someone else"Tina was tactically refusing when Jordan frowned. He was wondering who Tina was having an appointment with, is it Greg?"I will come pick you for lunch. Send me your address" Jordan cut in. He wants to know who the fellow was that she was going to see besides Greg." Deal?" Jora asked and before Tina would answer, Jordan said "deal" That way they parted and went their separate ways."Make her my mother, daddy,I really like her" Jora

Jordan demanded.Why is everything getting complicated for him? First Tina was stealing his heart and giving him a restless mind. Next Rachel accuses him of making her restless in the great beyond.

Ask Isabella to inform Tina.." Jordan instructed.He would stay back and see how fast the healing of his arms went.

She knew she wouldn't have won the argument with Jordan, if Kunle wasn't here.Jordan just stood up and said nothing else. Tina had left for another apartment?
