Lucy. On normal days, I would have just stayed in my room and not show my face outside.However, I couldn't since they were visitors in the house. This was not this was not my house. So? I had to respect the numbs and be where the others were. I was just a cleaner as Mr Christian had said to his father. He should have said something elseWhile they were sitting oaround the dining table eating and chatting together, I was just at the couch with my eyes glued to the TV that was showing anything interesting. . Maybe it was interesting and I refused to see it because, my mimd kept wondering about the incident outside with Mr Christian kissing that artificial girl.They should have used a room and not kissed outside where everyone could see them.When he saw me, he pretended like he didn't just kissed the girl and went on to explain himself to me. It's not like we are girlfriend and boyfriend or something of that sort. TShe came here in the morning and was making noise all over
Lucy. It's been a week since Christian's brother came back homeEverything was moving quite well. I was getting used to him. He was such a nice kid and wouldn't stop telling me about the things he had seen in the hospital, how people die everyday; those that even before they could attend to them would give up the ghost.I was presently in his room to give him his food. Christian's house was quite big and even if ten people come there, they will have a spare room for themselves. Kevin was sitting on the gray sofa in front of his bed as I walk over to him with the food that I hard served in a tray. I placed the tray on the table in front of him."You are a very nice girl. I don't know why my brother hasn't said anything concerning you yet. You are not all those his artificial girls he used to bring home. The other one who left him for his best friend. How do they even call her again..." he tapped his index finger against his forehead. ""He has not always been so lucky with r
Lucy."You say you don't know the people that came here? You didn't take a look at their faces?"I asked my mother who was sitting on the couch in the living room with her hands-folding across her chest.She had left and came back to the house.I came directly to the house to meet her."Exactly, Lucy. I couldn't identify them, they were the three of them and they keep saying that you are the reason why they did what they did. I couldn't pick anything relevant from what they were saying. I don't even understand anything at all and that's why I had to call you, if you had gotten yourself into trouble and these people were after you."My mother suddenly look up at.me and this made me feel guilty.Though I didn't know why I was guilting. I haven't done wrong to anybody." You believe me, mother. I haven't done wrong to anybody neither do I know those people that came to your work place.""I know you, Lucy. But these people kept talking about you. That is my main problem that i
Christian I'm quit sure that, something was wrong with Lucy even though she denied to tell me.The moment she made that call while in kevin's room , and she said something about Mr Frederick.I heard it and pretended like I never did.What was going on with her? she totally refuse to say anything to meEven to open up, still, I always have my way of getting things out of people and she was not going to escape from me this time around.I was going to find out everything about what she has been hiding from meI went to work.I didn't have much to do today so I had to come back to the house , to aleast to aleast spend some time with Kevin since he has been complaining that I always spend most of my time at work and don't even have anything for him. So that was one of the reason why I had to come back home. So that we could be together and talk more about things that were. happening around and even try to give him some tips about work in the office because he needed to learn all
Lucy. I sat on the bed breathlessly as I watch Christian. He stood staring at me. I was lost for words. I-I -I just kissed him . I mean he kissed me with . Ehat was I supposed to make out of this? I am sorry about how I have been treating you lately. " I hope that you could find a place in your heart to forgive me." He said bringing my mind back to reality. Was all this because he wanted me to firgive him? He wanted forgiveness by kissing me? Why didn't he just go ahead and apologize as every other normal person would? But he had to tricked me with a kiss. I pass my hand through my hair as I stared at him. I tried to suppress the words that were about to leave my mouth but I couldn't, so I went head and let them out. "Was this about the forgiveness or something else?" I asked him. I couldn't believe that, he wanted to kiss me j because he wanted to apologize, though I actually enjoy the kiss. It is something I have never enjoyed before. No one has ever kissed
Chapter 47. Lucy. I had no option, but to go and work for Mr. Christian . He has been looking really drained out. Given that I was at home and doing nothing, I had to give in. I didnt have much work to do at home, so I opted to go help him out. There was much work to he done at his office. Also, the fact that he had to come back home and take care of his brother too, contributed to that. So, I had to move to his office. He told me that Juliet had two more weeks where she was before coming back, All o could do was give him a helping hand, because he really looked stressed out. Though I was working with hom at his office, I kept my distance away from him, given that we kissed and it did not end well between us. I felt like he was taking advantage of my situation at that time, though I did not say anything like that to him. After that day, he has been quiet, moody and not saying too much . I decided to remind quiet and maintain my business and not talk to him as
Lucy. I took my head away from the side of the road, when I heard my phone ringing in my hands. Mr Christian was calling. He had told me not to go far and here I was. Well, he was only going to scold me for all I care . Where I am right now, I don't give a fuck about anything anymore. He can go ahead and fire me, do whatever he want to do. Who their right senses would down what he just did? He kissed me the other day, and the next day he was kissing another girl. I have overhead him on several occasions insulting Miss Laura and now? she just walked into his office and they kissed like I was not even there, like he had never said any bad words about her. Nonetheless, I would just stay focused and behave like nothing of that's sort ever happened. They can go ahead, please themselves and do her however they want. Once my time here expires, I would take my money and travel to another with my family and we could start a new life. . "Didn't I tell you not to go
Lucy. "Is there a problem, Lucy? You have been moody all day." He took steps towards me. "Do we have a problem? Have we been quarreling or did I do something wrong?" Mr Christian asked as we step into the house. I don't even know how to reply that . Why was even asking me all these questions? Asking me what he had done wrong, like he didn't know what he had done wrong. "Nothing, You haven't done anything wrong. I'm just tired . I need to sleep." Yhankfully, Salvador and Tony had gone to their various destination and so there was no one here to hear us as we talk. Then I remember that, I wanted to thank him back at his office before his girlfriend walk in. " I actually want to thank you about the people you sent to watch over my family. I am grateful." I said and turned to walked into my room, when he grabbed my hand and pull me such that, I almost bump into him. "Is that how you are going to thank me ? By walking away? You didn't even say a proper good night to
Lucy's POV. Christian and I had left work early because we had to go meet my mother. I had called and told her that, I will be coming over with a guest. I didn't tell her wo it was. I didn't want her to be all over the place."You can park your car here." I pointed at the empty parking lot. He nodded and drove us over.When he was fully parked, we got down from the car and made our way to the door.As we walked through the front door, I could feel my excitement mingling with nervousness. I had no idea how my mother would react to seeing the famous Mr. Christian in person. She had heard about him. But I doubted if she had ever seen him in person. "Mom, I'm home!" I called out, pushing the front door open as Christian and I entered the house.My mother stood up from her favourite spot in te living room, her eyes widening as she caught sight of Christian beside me. "Lucy, is that... is that Mr. Christian?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.I couldn't contain my grin as I nodd
Christian's POV. "So, you mean to tell me that, Mr. Frederick has refused to abide by the rules I gave him and went on to do his own thing? He is even planning on launching an attack on me and also spreading false rumors about me over the internet?" I looked over at Tony as we sat around the dining table. I had called him earlier yesterday, but he told me he was busy and only come this morning so that we could talk about what was going on and here he was telling me about Mr. Frederick who has refused to abide by the rules I gave him.This man sure didn't know who exactly he was playing with."Exactly what I heard him say. I know there was something off about that man, the moment I went to his office. To clear my doubts, I keep an eye on him and every step he made and that is exactly the information I got from him."I slammed my fist on the table in anger because I couldn't believe that after all that he had done, instead of giving him a great punishment, I decided to give him s
Lucy's POV. It has been a wonderful day and I couldn't wait to go back to that office to be with ChristianI haven't imagined this all my life to be with someone like him all my life I mean the guy who gives light to this country. It was like, when he says they should be light, there will be light and when he says there should be no light, there will be no light at all.Ever since I have been growing up, I have only heard stories about him and never really taken that into consideration.Never in my life, had I ever imagined that we two would become a thing and up to the extent that I was working for him. All that felt surreal and I couldn't just bring myself to think about it. I walk into the house all smiles.There was nothing else in my head for me to think about, except Christian and the little moments we have been having together.I walked into the living room to meet my mother watching some television series.She was so focused that, she didn't even notice me enter the hou
Christian's POV Lucy and I drove out of the company at the same time. When we were on the highway, she took the direction that led to her house while I drove to my father's house. I wonder why he was calling me. I drove into the yard and parked my car in the parking lot. I got out of the car and found George standing at the entrance of the house, with his hands behind his back, a smile plastered on his face. He is always there waiting for me, whenever he hears of my arrival. "Thank you," I told him as he took my bag inside. "Is my father in?" I asked as I followed him behind. "Yes, he is in the private living room and he has been waiting for you all day." I nodded and walked past him to the stairs Waiting for me all day. I had told him I would be coming over after work. There was no need for him to be overly dramatic. I don't know if George was the one exaggerating the whole thing or if my father had indeed been waiting for me all day. Nonetheless, I knew my f
Christian's POV. I drove home, feeling quite excited. I was getting it all back together. That girl was a gem. Something precious that I was definitely going to lose, if I didn't act fast about it.Thank Lucy for her self control that we had to stop, well, not that I didn't have any self control left. I did, but with her, it was hard for me to control myself. I went directly to the parking lot and parked my car.Closing the door, I took out the keys and made my way to the double doors that led to my house. "You should have seen him that week. He looked like he could kill somebody, until father and I had asked him to go after her rather than stay here in the house and act all moody."I heard Kevin explain and stopped, then a fist of heavy laughter bumped inside the house. "Then he went after her?" The other voice asked, still laughing. "Yes, I think he must be with her now that we speak."They went on and on and I decided to open the door. I couldn't stand there and hear them
Lucy's POV. Well well, I couldn't believe that things would end like this.We finally fixed things and everything would finally be okay now between us.Majorie and I were talking about me getting a job and I didn't know that it was going to come this quick and look at this now.Just right in front of me. I didn't even need to work so hard for it. Well, I'm happy to say the least Christian and I have been talking for the past two hours now.I kept asking him about how he has been coping and all that. I actually wanted to ask about Cyrus , like where he was and all that, if they had finally settled the difference between them. But I couldn't bring that up, given how much he disliked the guy.He was his friend and people do make mistakes but I don't understand if they have been something between them before the world Cindy stuff or it was just some mere thing. Nonetheless, I'm glad that I was finally seeing some light in his eyes, given the situations he had been through. It must ha
Christian's POV.It had been a week since I last talked to Lucy, and it was starting to weigh on me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Nonetheless, I will call her after work today. I got dressed, ensuring I looked presentable, and left for workAs the day went by, my mind kept drifting towards Lucy.I couldn't concentrate on my tasks; her absence had left a void in my heart. I never thought something like this would ever happen to me, but here I was. My thoughts being invaded by a girl, a mere girl.The funniest thing is, I should be angry for what did, but I was not. Instead, I find myself, wanting the spent the rest of my days with her.Thoughts of our last conversation played on repeat in my mind, making me wonder what had happened between us.I wrapped up my work and put a few office things together before leaving for home. It's become difficult for me to concerntrate on my work because all I do is to sit and think of her.The ride back was filled with contemplation.
Lucy's POV I don't know why I was sad about his response to what I asked him back in the car.That did not sit quite right with me or is it the fact that I did not ask it directly? However, I didn't say anything as I made my way to marjorie's house. I was hurt but there was nothing I could do. I had done him wrong and I know that he was taking that on me even though he was not showing it, not that he told me but I knew for a fact that he was taking that on me. Perhaps, this was my faye and I just have to accept it and just let everything go.As the saying goes, if you love something, you should let it go. If it comes back to you, it was yours but if it doesn't come back then it was never yours to begin with. Maybe that was the case between Christian and I This was never meant to be. The earlier I come to terms with it, then the better for me .I decided to brushed all those thoughts off my head, even though I know it was going to take a long time. But for the time being,
Christian's POV. I know exactly where Lucy was going to, when she asked me that" so what now?" However, I didn't have any answer to give to that or let's just say, I wanted to clear my head off these things that were around me before anything else. I needed to deal with Mr. Frederick first and make sure that every other thing was in place before I could get to her and let her know of my intentions. She must have it in her mind that perhaps I was just trying to use her or maybe it was still about what she had done and that I was going to use it against her. However, that was not the deal. She has always been in my heart and she would always be. I just needed to fix a few things before I can call her put her down and we can talk about us and if we want to continue this or we just let it slide. I drove back to the house because I had already finished everything I wanted to do at the company so I couldn't go back there. When I got inside the living room, I could perceive so
