Chapter 4

Tiffany stood before Rosella,she was filled with curiosity,she had been standing there for a while and the woman was just staring at her with a blank expression.

Could it be that her design wasn't approved by there CEO? She asked herself and heart beat doubled at the thought.

"You called for me ma'am." She said nervously.

"Yes I did Tiffany." The woman sighed heavily with a worried expression and she couldn't help but shiver in fear.

"Is everything okay ma'am,you look worried." She said bracing herself for the worst.

"I don't know how to break this news to you." She said making her more paranoid,her palm became sweaty immediately.

Her legs turned jelly like it couldn't carry her anymore,it's not like she is about to get sacked but she just don't like it when something she works hard for get rejected,it feels some how to her and it makes her weak.

"What news are you.. talking about ma'am Rosella?" She asked trying not to stutter as she fumbled with the right word to say.

"Well.. the CEO accepted your design." She said beaming with smiles.

She exhaled loudly,she didn't even notice that she held her breath and she couldn't help that the woman was just playing pranks on her.

"Really?" She asked flustered.

"Yes my dear,he fell in love with it immediately he saw it and another news is that he already knows you very well even more than the old workers." Rosella said.

"Wow,I can't believe this,I was scared thinking that the design was rejected,I can believe you kept me in suspense." Tiffany said grabbing her chest like it won't fall off any seconds.

"I was only pulling your legs and you shouldn't know that whatever you create would be accepted since you create things with quality and they are always attractive." Rosella said.

"I know,but I just can't help it every time I create something,I'm always paranoid." Tiffany said truthfully.

"The design was accepted and I would have tell you this tomorrow,but I just can't help it,and also the CEO said he would love to see you tomorrow morning immediately he arrives." She said.

"Alright ma'am." She said happily.

"I can see that you are set to go home,do send my regards to everyone." Rosella said.

"No problem ma'am, I will do just that." Tiffany said making her way out of her office.

The day is really good for Tiffany's as she placed her bag into her car before driving out of the parking lot.

The ring on her phone made her paused the music which was blasting out of her car's speaker.

"Miguel." She called once she picked up.

"Where are you babe?" He asked.

"I'm on my way to your house,do you need anything?" She asked as her eyes were glued to the steering wheel.

"No,I just wanted to confirm if you were really coming,I will be expecting you, please come quickly." He said.

"I'm on my way Mr,I will be there in thirty minutes." Tiffany said before hanging up on him so she could focus on driving.

She drove quietly as she thought about why Miguel would want to see her,but she was sure that it has to do with her not always been available at his house when he is in need of her.

After some minutes,she finally parked her car at the parking lot, picked up her phone and walked out of the car,she proceeded into the house after making sure that she had locked the door.

Getting into his door,she knocked severally but received no response so she twisted the knob of the door and it opened on its own.

"Where could he be and why would he leave the door opened?" She asked no one in particular.

The house was unusually dark so she searched for the switch and switched it on immediately only to meet the shock of her life.

Tiffany stood as she stared at miguel who knelt with a box of ring in his hand.

Shock is an understatement for what she felt,if there was any other word that could be used for shock,then that is exactly what she felt.

"Tiffany,we have been together for a very long time,you embrace my dream,and i embrace yours,you know me better than anyone,you chastise me whenever am wrong"

"I will love to spend the rest of my life with someone like you,I want you to be my wife and the mother of my kids,will you marry me tiffany? miguel asked with a smile.

Tiffany stared at him speechlessly cause it was something she least expected.

Yes,they have been together for close to two years or so, but she had never thought of been engaged to him or him even proposing to her and she doesn't like the idea at all.

"Are you okay Miss Tiffany?" Miguel's gate keeper asked tapping her lightly.

She flinched immediately as realisation hit her,she couldn't believe that she had gone into a deep thought with the question the man had asked her.

"Yes.. yes I'm fine,what were you saying?" She  asked swallowing hard.

"I thought you were mad at me for asking you such question." The man said.

"Not at all,I was actually thinking about something." She quickly said.

She couldn't believe that such question could make her go so deep in thought.

"Are you sure you are okay ma'am?" He asked again looking guilty.

"Yes,I'm perfectly fine,like I said,I zoned out cause I was actually thinking about something,I have a lot on my mind lately." She lied with a friendly smile.

"Sorry about that ma'am,you should take things easy and sort it out without stress,if possible,you should take a rest." He advised.

"Thank you so much sir,is Miguel back from the hospital yet?" She asked changing the topic.

She couldn't stand zoning out again if he asks her another question on what will she  do if Miguel actually proposed to her now or what would she  do if she  finds out that she is  carrying Miguel's child.

"No,he is yet to be back,you should call him so as to hear directly from him." He said.

"Alright,I will do just that." She said walking into Miguel's sitting room which was dark.

Her  heart beat rapidly when she remembered that it was exactly what she had imagined out there in the presence of the gate keeper.
