A week passed and the ambience in Purple City was rather calm and sober.People went about their businesses as usual as a few luxurious cars drove on the principal streets of the city.Some school-going kids were seen in the mix, walking and running to the cars of their parents after school.Miss Brooks had been through hell the past weeks, but from the looks of things, her fans and the general public seemed to have forgiven her as the statistics for her show had skyrocketed."I don't know how you did it, but I dare say that you are a true genius. No wonder our competitors want to slander us by using your Ex-husband as a ploy to take us down," Cyril had said to Tracy a few days after she shared her story with the world on her show."From the statistics we have accumulated so far, the figures for your show have shot up in terms of watch rate. People seem to love your show even better now," he added.Back in the present, however, the host of Ties That Bind seemed to be feeling a little
In all honesty, I was mad at you for spilling coffee all over me. You probably should have thanked my friends because It was as a result of their intervention that I didn't say a word to you," Tracy said."Right. I believe it would have been logical and justified that you decided to vent your anger on me for drenching you in coffee," the male voice of the man who spilt coffee on Tracy said."My action was in bad taste and anyone would have reacted in a manner they deem fit if I had done that to them. So I understand your sentiments. But I'm glad you agreed to sit and have a chit-chat with me despite everything. Although I would have preferred for your friends to hang around instead of leaving," he added."Well, I also wish they had stayed behind, but I will catch up with them later," Tracy said."But next time, you should be careful," she added."I have heard your wise counsel Miss. I will be more vigilant next time," he said."But if I may ask, what is a beautiful lady like you calle
"Good day, Tracy. I trust you're doing well," Cyril said after he entered Tracy's office."Certainly. I trust you are too," she responded and asked him too."Sure bet I am. Well, not quite," Cyril said."I don't like the sound of that. Is everything okay?" Tracy asked in a concerned tone.Cyril was mildly rubbing his right cheek while he kept his head down."Tracy," Louisa said and walked in. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company," she added."That's fine. What's the problem?" Tracy queried."Well, Fashion Life will go live in a few minutes. I want to go make some changes to their set but I want June to come help me so I thought to inquire if you will need her," Louisa said."Oh come on Louisa. This is nothing to have come all the way here to inform me. You could have just gone ahead with her. But it's all good. You can have her assist you," Tracy said.Louisa realized all the while that Cyril did not say a word and noticed an unusual look on his face."Right. But is everythin
The weekend was here and the general vibe in Purple City seemed to suggest that people were taking it easy after a hard day's work during the week.But within the four walls of Tracy's house was an inferno that was intensifying by the second.Tracy had invited Louisa over to question her behavior in recent times."How could you, Louisa? How dare you give my number out to a stranger without first consulting me?" Tracy fumed.She paced about in the living room while Louisa sat on the couch with her arms folded."I told you point blank that that guy was nothing to me. Yes, he spilled coffee on me and apologized. Apology accepted, we move on. But why then do you give him my number?" She asked in an angry tone."Come on Tracy. I admit that I deserve all the harsh words and coldness you are showing right now, but you and I know that you could really use some distraction from that guy," Louisa finally said."Oh nonsense. Arrant nonsense!" Tracy yelled as the doorbell rang."Who is it?" Trac
Another day passed and Henry was still thinking about Tracy.Having finished his session at the hospital, he thought to distract himself and take a walk around the hospital.As he moved about, he saw patients being brought in by the ambulance and others who were reporting to the hospital themselves to seek medical care.A lady of Tracy's height walked into the hospital with her kids. Immediately Henry saw her, his mind went to Tracy. "I find it unusual that she would be behaving like this towards me. Was it something I did or said that got her like that?" He asked in his head.Just as he tried to juggle different thoughts in his head, his phone rang."Hello," he responded."Hello, Henry. Are you done for the day?" A male voice asked."Yeah Andy, but I'm hanging around for a while to sort out a few things before I finally go home," Henry responded.Andy, a good friend of his who had been his friend since childhood had called to check on him."Well, there is a party tonight and I was w
For the very first time in a long time, Tracy Brooks felt special.The failure of her previous marriage took such a huge toll on her that her life nearly became miserable.Having dedicated three solid years of her youthful days to her ex-husband, she got in return hurt, disappointment and shame.Tracy had struggled to let go of the thoughts of Charles and his past behavior.But life was good now and she was all about her work and role at Channel 24/7 Live. However, there was a gentleman in the picture who seemed to have taken a liking to her and she was confused about how to react to the gentleman's advances.So, a day after the evening she was serenaded by Henry, she thought it was a great idea to escape the noise in her immediate surroundings and clear her head of what was happening in a rather quiet and peaceful environment.And Purple Islands was her last resort having considered a few other places.To stay under the radar and not get recognized by anyone, she disguised herself a
"Congratulations, we saw all those good moments the other night. He is cute," a neighbor who was passing by Tracy's house said.Her comments came on the back of Henry's sweet serenading moments with Tracy.This neighbor saw it all. And although she had not said a word to Tracy before despite being neighbors, and knowing who she was as a popular TV host, Henry's display some nights ago was so epic that the neighbor could not help but say something nice to the TV host."Thank you very much," Tracy responded swiftly to the passersby.Brooks had June and Louisa in her company and they were just returning from the boutique."And what is she talking about?" June asked. She was confused as to what the passerby was talking about."Isn't it obvious? It's about Henry serenading Tracy the other day," Louisa responded.The ladies made their way to the door of the house and entered."Wow, if that neighbor saw it then I can imagine who else saw it. I can only imagine what will happen when I share t
A week passed and another weekend arrived.Tracy had been all about work after her beautiful date night out with Henry some days ago.She had been in touch with Henry and the two had been keeping up with each other.After a long day's work at the office during the week, Tracy thought a day out to the beach was a good idea.So when Henry initiated such a move, she didn't hesitate to give him the green light."I can see someone is in love," Louisa jokingly said."Oh just stop it already. Who's in love?" Tracy asked.She and her ladies were on the rooftop chatting and having some good vibes."You of course. If not, why would you agree to go to the beach with him?" June cut in."Come on girls. I'm not in love, and the fact that I've agreed to go spend some quality time with him at the beach does not make your claim significant either," Tracy said."I'm only being nice by trying to appreciate his efforts. Besides, you ladies can attest to how great he had treated me in the past couple of d
