After Grandpa Moore hung up,Eugene just sat there feeling so exhausted.He winced as he felt pain on his right knee.He quickly opened up a drawer and brought out some pain killers.Tristan walked in and saw him taking out the medicine.“It’s been long since I saw you take that,sir?Is the pain on your knee back?”Eugene sighed and nodded.”It is.”“For the past two years,with Leah’s constant massages,you hardly felt the pain.I wonder if it’s going to worsen now that she’s no longer here.”“Stop talking about her.”Eugene snapped.Tristan sighed and then nodded.“About the scandal,I found out more.”“What did you find?”“About ten on the social media accounts that contributed in spreading the news belongs to Miss Hudson.”Eugene frowned.”Ten?Are you sure about this?”“Yes.I checked a couple of times and they were all linked to her.She must really hate Madam Leah a lot.”Eugend rubbed his temple,agitatedly.She had always see Leah as a saint,as someone who couldn’t even hurt a fly.How cou
“Really?You are really as handsome as she had described.You two are a perfect fit.”Eugene left the atelier with mixed feelings.Did Leah really love him?If someone could come up with a recipe book for someone else.If she could make a shirt for him for scratch.Wasn’t that love?Then he thought about Jason and shook his head.No.That wasn’t love!Leah moved on too fast from him.When he recalled that he really couldn’t blame her,he felt disheartened.He got back into the car.“Are you planning on changing your fashion designer,sir?”Tristan asked.“No,let’s go.”His phone rang out and he saw that it was his closest friend,Bradley calling.“Hello.”Eugene began.“Let’s hang out tonight.We should drink to stupor and celebrate.”Brad announced,excitedly.“What are we celebrating?”“To be honest,I am confused as well.Should we celebrate your marriage or divorce?”“I’m hanging up…”“Wait…wait…Can’t you take a joke? just been a while since we last hung out.Let’s hit the club tonight,man?”E
“Are you trying to say that I’m jealous?!”Eugene shot at him.“You obviously are.”“You’re saying bunch of crap!I’m out of here.”With that,Eugene stormed off.Meanwhile,Leah and her brother were still having a fun time.Leah has had a few glasses to drink and she was a bit intoxicated.“I think you should stop drinking,Leah.”Marcel said,taking the glass from her.“No…”She protested.”One more…just one more glass,pleaseee.”She drawled.The alcohol was really making her momentarily forget about her worries and she was happy about that.Just then,Marcel’s phone rang out.He saw that it was from the judge on the case he was working on.He quickly said to Leah.”Leah,I have to take this.I’ll be right back.”Leah nodded.Marcel walked off and she quickly ordered another bottle of wine.When the men who had been eying her saw that Marcel had left,they slowly advanced towards her.Leah stared closely at every one of them wondering if she could find anyone appealing to her eyes.But none of them
“Asher,apologize to her right now.”Eugene ordered.He turned back his gaze to Leah,she was drunk so he needed to keep a close eye on her.He tried to tell himself that he was only doing this because that was how one should behave when one sees a drunk woman.He should protect her rather than think of taking advantage of her.Eugene stared straight at her,not that keeping his eyes on her face was doing much work but it was a lesser temptation than looking at her from head to toe.“I didn’t do anything wrong to this lady,Eugene.She…she came up to this table and I thought she wanted to join us for a drink so I offered her one but instead of drinking it,she splashed it on my face!She’s a psychopath.”“Don’t call her that,you punk!”Eugene barked.“Do you even know this woman?Why are you speaking as if you know her?!”“She’s my wife!”Eugene announced.When Eugene saw how shocked everyone around him looked,he quickly corrected himself.“She’s my…ex-wife.”That part shocked Asher even more.H
Leah sniffed and lifted up her head,she stared at his face and hip-cupped,she was still so intoxicated.She slowly brought up her hand and touched his face.“Why do you look so much like him?Like Eu…Eugene?”She asked,curiously.Eugene sighed,still wondering what to do with her but somehow,he really like this position he was in.He liked holding her.So he continued holding her like this.She placed a finger on his nose and then on his lips,he suddenly struggled to breathe.“I wish you were Eugene.”He wanted to tell her that he really was Eugene.He couldn’t understand himself right now.He shouldn’t be here with her.He shouldn’t be in this position with her.He should go call Jason to come take her home.He shouldn’t care about the things she had just said.He shouldn’t care about the fact that she missed him so much.But then he found himself asking.”Do you really still love Eugene?What about Jason?”She responded by moving her head closer to his.Eugene gulped and realizing she was
As Leah coughed,Marcel quickly got her water.She drank it and took a deep breath.“Did we…did we really kiss?”She asked so quietly that Marcel had to strain to hear.“I don’t think so but if I hadn’t arrived on time,I think he might have taken advantage of you.”Leah shook her head.”No,he wouldn’t.Eugene doesn’t find me attractive.”“Is this what you think?”“I lived with him for two years,I know that.”“Then why was he so overprotective of you last night?”“Overprotective of me?”She was surprised to hear that.“Yeah,he asked me if I was going to take you seriously,he said you weren’t from the high society and that I shouldn’t play with you.”Leah frowned.”Why did he say all that to you?”“I guess he mistook me for Jason.You know,he thinks you’re dating Jason and I didn’t correct him.”“So you can’t really remember what happened between you and Eugene in the rest room before I showed up?I really want to know that part.”“You’re so nosy.”Leah shot at him.Marcel touched his chest,dra
“Hudson Home is currently facing huge criticism from the public.”Tristan informed Eugene.”People have all sort of mean things to say about them and most of the people gafe evidence to back up their claims,this isn’t good at all.”Eugene sighed.”JK Group ended their contract with Hudson Home ever quality issues?They’ve been using Hudson beddings for years now,didn’t they know about the quality?”“Apparently,they didn’t.Or the former general manager didn’t notice.I found out that the Group had a new general manager now,rumor has it that she’s a no nonsense lady and she made sure all the JK hotels in the country and abroad terminate their contracts with Hudson Home.”“How can a mere manager have such power?”“I heard she’s the daughter of Jerome King who’s the founder of JK Group.She’s called Leah King.”Eugene grimaced as he was reminded of the woman named Leah that he knows.Was he destined to keep meeting with women called Leah?He quickly shook his head.None of them mean anything to
“Do you seriously know who you’re talking to?My boss isn’t an ordinary man!”Tristan thundered.“I’m sorry but these are the procedure that I must follow.”Eugene saw that receptionist would not budge so he just say to Tristan.“Just make the appointment,we’ll come again tomorrow.”Tristan glared at the receptionist and then made the appointment.************“This Leah King,she must be new to town,she must have not been told the consequences of messing with you.”“She’ll know tomorrow.”“And that’s the problem,boss,we might not even get to see her tomorrow.According to that obnoxious receptionist,we’ll only be given a date to see her tomorrow.”Eugene tugged down his tie,angrily.“I have to settle this as soon as possible or else Hudson Home would go completely bankrupt.”The following day,Eugene and Tristan got to JK hotel and they were told that their appointment were scheduled for the next day.They came again the next day and they were told that Leah King wasn’t chanced to see him
