Lucy.I had gone up yesterday about three times to check up on Mr. Christian even though he had said that it was forbidden to go up unless he told me to. However, I was not the type to listen to such instructions, when matters like a person's health are concerned. He was not feeling well and needed someone to constantly check up on him. I wouldn't just stay here and neglect him. Maybe he would like to reconsider his rules because many of them were sick rules.I was present in the kitchen, heating the food that Ophelia had made for Christian to eat, before leaving for work, but he didn't.I took out the food from the deep freezer that was in a transparent white container and strolled with it to the kitchen island, where I had kept a frying pan to put the food inside.With the food inside the pan, I took it over to the stove and lit it up, before standing the pan on the blue flames.I did that with utmost concentration such that you wouldn't notice if a person walked into the kitc
Christian. I have never worked with someone as thoughtful as Lucy. She did things out of her what she is supposed to do. Bringing my food to the office, Insisting that I take my medication was not in her job description. Even after I had told her that I would be fine, she kept insisting. No one has ever done that to me.Well, maybe that was just how she was brought up, to be considerate. Because that's a consideration. I couldn’t complain. I was in my office and constantly checking the time on my wristwatch. I have a meeting with Mr. Maxwell, later on in the day. George had told me that everything was ready, to begin the building of the dam. What I needed at t was money to pay the workers so that they could start building it.It was finally 6 PM. I set up to go. After the meeting with Mr. Maxwell,I have to meet the owner of the temple moto.I should have met him before now, but I was just quite busy with my brother and his arrangement to come back home. I know i
Lucy I searched through my bag, searched my closet, and even searched the basket I had taken food inside to Mr. Christian the other day but I couldn’t find anything. I couldn’t afford to lose that chain. My father had given me that on my 19th birthday. It meant a lot to me. It reminded me of my father and if I lost it means I have lost my father. I didn’t even notice it when I came back from the office the other day. I knew it was around my neck, never knowing that it had fallen off. It was only after I left the bathroom this evening and came and stood in front of my mirror did I notice the chain was not around my neck and I started searching for it. I have searched almost everywhere but I still couldn’t find it. I had thought of going to Caspian Power because it was the only place I had visited, but it was already late and I couldn’t go there. If I search again and don't find it, then I might go there tomorrow and check it.After almost two hours and 30 minutes of
Lucy.I flushed my eyes opened to some noise outside my room.I checked my time, it was exactly 5:30 AM.I sat upright on my bed and strain my ears, listening to the sounds.A sign left my lips as I heard the noise coming from the Mr. Christian's gym.He should be the one doing his work out as Ophelia had told me he usually does every morning.I haven't seen him do his work out before, maybe, this was the perfect opportunity for me to go steal small glances at him.I quickly got from the bed and placed my legs down down on the floorI tiptoed to the door and slowly opened it. I pushed my head out of my room and into the corridor.I went back into my room and grabbed my red pullover that was on the bed and shrugged it on, before coming back to the door. I took a few steps closer to the gym. It was all glass and you could see the activities one was doing inside, so did I see Mr. Christian doing his pushed ups. I took a few steps closer to the end of the corridor.I leaned against th
Christian.I was busy at work and forgot that, I had to meet Mr. Anthony of Temple Moto later on in the day, until my clock strike the time I was supposed to leave.He had come to my company to negotiate he his business with me. I have been postponing the meeting with him, because of my work schedule. Now that Juliet wasn’t around, the whole thing was more hectic; given that I had to figure out my schedule by myself. This one-month break that I have given would surely drain me. Salvador didn’t know much about office work that I could tell him to come and help me, neither did Tony. The things were just kind of mixed up and I had to take my time in figuring them out. After remembering that I had to meet with Mr. Anthony of temple motor at 2:00 PM, I had to made my way home inorder to prepare myself. Salvador wasn't with me because my father had called him earlier on the phone to go to the airport and clear some equipments he had made that will be used at the construction si
Lucy. My day yesterday didn't go well. Christian had been behaving a bit strangely lately. He doesn't talk to me like he use to do before. He was just acting moody and would get mad at the slightest thing. I wasn't expecting him to react the way he did when my brother visited the other day. Though I know I was in the wrong, for not letting him know that, my brother would be visiting. Still, he shouldn't have acted like that. He should have given me some time to explain myself, but he didn't. Whatever his problem was, he should try to fix it. After doing my morning routine, I decided to go to my house to go visit my mother. Since I came here, I haven't visited her. We have only been talking on the phone. I haven't told Mr. Christian that I would be leaving, so I have to tell him before he goes to work to avoid him giving me his awful expressions later on. I was already dressed up. I had a white long sleeve crop top over a pair of black cargo pants. My feet were covered in
Lucy.Without another word, Christian made his way inside the house. We only heard the door slamming closed after he entered. I stared at Salvador, who had Cyrus pin down with his eyes on the ground. I was feeling bad for him, though I didn't know the extent of what he had done.In my candid opinion, sleeping with your best friend's girl was out of the line.Even if he apologizes. No matter the temptation, he should have at least considered his actions first, before diving into it. And again, why do I feel like Cyrus was the only one that was suffering the consequences? His nose has been terribly damaged. His eyes were now swollen. Had it been I knew that this was going to happen, I could have told him when he came to go back, because in the past days, Christian had been in a bad mood.And I think he just poured his anger on him.Poor Cyrus.He has a charming face, until Christian decided to ruin itMost ladies would want him though. "What now? He must be crying his eyes out i
Christian. Why was I sad? Why was I mad that she was dead? Why did it hurt me so much? Why didn't I get her off my head after the day she betrayed me? Why did I hold her in my heart, thinking that there would ever be a chance between us? I had told her to go away and never show her face again, even after she apologized so many times. Why didn't I get her off my mind?She hurt me. The only girl I had ever loved, the only girl I had ever thought of spending my life with, but she betrayed me bigtime. Since then, I have never found myself having interest in any girl, not to talk of me liking them.Cindy was buried deep in my heart. But all that changed when she chose my best friend over me.Still, I didn't. I still held something for her, until Cyrus opened his bloody mouth out there and told me she died. What happened to her? Why did she die? Was she killed? Was she sick? These are the questions that I couldn't answer. It should have been Nadia that was dead. Even though I was not
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
