Shannie to the rescue!! 🎉
Anna cleared her throat and regained her stance, finally looking him in the face. “Can we speak?” Tristian nodded and stepped aside so she could enter the room. As the door closed, it dawned on Anna that she was in Tristian’s bedroom for the first time. “What do you want to talk about?” Tristian’s voice came from behind her, and when she turned, she almost forgot why she stepped into the room. He had just finished taking a shower. It was evident from his wet hair and body. Merely looking at him made Anna’s temperature rise despite the working air conditioner in the room. There was something about the scenery that gave her thoughts, evil thoughts. “Anna!” His voice snapped her out of her daze, and when she raised her head, she realized she had been staring shamelessly at him. How embarrassing! “I uhh...I.” She started and paused to take a deep breath. “I want to apologize for my behavior today. I should have let you know about the meeting with Jacob. Well, I would have let
Anna wasn't herself after what transpired between her and Tristan in his room. She had gone into his room to apologize for her behavior earlier, but Tristan had other thoughts. Anna’s mind was messed up. ‘Where does this put us?’ She wondered. One thing was sure: their relationship wouldn’t be the same after that. Shayne sat in her sister’s room. While waiting for her return, a part of her wished Anna would spend the night in Tristan’s room. Pulling her out of her thoughts, the door opened to reveal her sister, and Shayne was immediately disappointed. “What happened?” She asked as Anna walked in, looking like she had seen a ghost. Shayne moved back to analyze her face correctly, realizing that her sister looked different from how she looked when she left. Her skin was flushed, her lips were full, and her hair was disheveled. There could be only one reason for that. “Did you guys kiss?” Shayne asked, holding her breath as she hoped for a positive response. Anna’s mind was elsewhe
Anna arrived at Reyes Estate and went straight to her office, praying she didn't bump into Tristan. However, she knew it might be impossible since her office was on the same floor as Tristan’s. “Good morning, Mrs Reyes.” Her secretary, Samantha, greeted her and followed her into the office. “Good morning to you, too, Samantha.” Anna greeted as she dropped her purse and settled down. “What’s my schedule for today?” She asked, and Samantha began to read them out to her. “Your engagements start at 11 am. You are to attend a meeting with the other directors regarding the contract with the Wades at 11 am.” Samantha read out, and Anna tensed up. A meeting with the directors meant that she would have to sit in the same room with Tristan. “Carry on, Samantha.” She cleared her throat and shook her thoughts away. “You are to attend an interview at 1 pm with Mr Reyes at HBC Entertainment. The questions to expect have been sent to your mail and that of Mr Reyes.” Samantha read out. T
Anna did not waste any moment returning to her office after Tristian spoke. If she stood there any longer, she was sure yesterday's mistake would repeat itself, and the last thing she wanted was a second kiss when she wasn’t sure of their relationship. Anna sat in her office with her hands on her head as her mind raced. Then, a knock sounded on the door, and Samantha walked in. “You leave for HBC Entertainment in ten minutes. You'll ride with Mr Reyes, and Noah and I will ride behind. Please go over the questions before we get there.” Samantha reminded and waited until Anna raised her head before leaving. Anna opened her mail to review the questions expected for the interview. There were over ten questions to be asked, all talking about their relationship. “Goodness!” Anna exclaimed as she went over the questions. There were some very personal questions that Anna didn't have an answer to, like when they planned on having their first child. What made her fall in love with Tristi
It was finally time for the interview, and the host, a famous TV presenter Jess Meyers invited the first couple, Anastasia and Tristan Reyes to the stage. This one was done behind closed doors, as Tristan kindly requested, unlike the usual interview sessions. He hated public attention so much that the last thing he wanted was to be in a room with hundreds of them.“Good day, Ladies and gentlemen. This is HBC special with Jess and today, we have a very special guest.” Jess Meyers, the host, announced, and an automated cheer erupted from the speakers.The thirty-year-old blonde crossed her legs curtly, smiling professionally at the camera. “Our special guest for today or, should I say guests…” Jess grinned at the cameras.“Well, we have with us today, a man who was been making waves in almost every business sector. A man whose rise to wealth and fame shocked the whole world. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Tristan Reyes and his beautiful wife, Anastasia Reyes.” Jess introduced. Ba
After the interview with Anna and Tristan, there was a break before Jacob and Emma were to be called. As soon as Anna walked down, Emma ran to her. “That was amazing, Anna. You and Tristan make a fine couple!” Emma praised. She then turned to her husband who was a few steps away from her and asked. “Don’t you agree, Jacob?” She asked with a bright smile. She had noticed that there was something off with him that day. Jacob wasn’t the type who always had things to say but he gave compliments when needed, especially if an important person like Tristan Reyes was before him. There was something wrong. “Yes, of course. Anna is a beautiful woman after all. Mr Reyes is a lucky man.” He said and both Tristan and Emma’s brows creased out of surprise. Emma was shocked to hear him call Anastasia ‘Anna’ when they weren’t that close. She had only gotten close enough to call her ‘Anastasia’ which was her full name so, she wondered when he got so close to being able to call her ‘Anna’. Tristan
The next day, Anna woke up in high spirits. She was looking forward to visiting the Wade mansion, not because she had any love for the family but, because her son was in there. She freshened up quickly and made her way to the breakfast table. As usual, Shayne was already seated but, she wasn’t alone this time.“Good morning, Anna.” Tristan greeted without looking at her. He was fully dressed for work and even had his keys in front of him. Anna wondered why he hadn’t already left just like before.“Good morning, Tristan.” She returned his greeting and settled down beside Shayne who was staring at the both of them through her lashes.“Finally! A normal breakfast.” Shayne said sarcastically and clapped, hoping to get rid of the awkward tension between her sister and Tristan. Neither of them said anything, avoiding eye contact like their lives depended on it.“Hmm.” Shayne hummed and shook her head, concluding that the both of them were completely hopeless.A few minutes into breakfast, A
Shayne arrived at Reyes Entertainment at exactly ten in the morning since she had a shoot at 11 am. When she arrived, a few of the other trainee models were already having their shoots and training. As usual, the place was packed so, she immediately went into the dressing room to wait for her name to be called. A few minutes into her shoot, she got a call from the manager, Mathew Lee through one of the makeup artists and she went to his office but, he wasn’t there. As she walked out, she saw one of the workers there and quickly pulled her. “Have you seen Mr Lee?” She asked and the worker immediately nodded. “I was just about to come tell you but it skipped my mind. You are needed at the conference room.” She said and Shayne’s heart skipped. Most times, when models were needed in the conference room, they were either about to get fired or get moved to another company or country for work which would eventually change their lives. She hoped it was the latter. “Thank you.” Shayne
