Luke and Nikos eyes rested on Reyna, waiting for her to say something while she fiddled on her feet. She was uncomfortable and in her mind, different curse words were being said to Niko.“We’re counting on you. The deal is a very good one. And Niko knows so much that he shouldn’t lose it.” Luke said, his eyes pleading to Niko.“Of course. We can stay. You can show me the company and I can check out where my office would be.” Reyna said, turning to look at Niko whose brows were scrunched up.“Thank you! I know you would pick my side! Thank you! I’ll go set the meeting room up!” Luke yelled out, bowing continuously as he rushed away.Reyna lips curled up as her eyes followed him until he disappeared, her lips curled into a small smile. It was not until Niko flicked her forehead and she scrunched her face up that she turned to face him.“Why do you have to put me in that situation?” She asked with her frowned face.“Because you’re my girlfriend, you should make decisions for me from now
Reyna walked to the chair in the room, plopping her ass down as she recalled the face she saw earlier. Why does she feel like seeing a split image of Dylan through that man? Even though Niko hadn’t allowed her to see him well, his nose and his smile looked exactly just like Dylan, just that from his features, he would be more playful than Dylan.Alvarez.. that’s what Niko called him. Probably she would ask Dylan at school tomorrow, if he decides to talk to her after she had shut him off and not call him back after missing the date. A sigh escaped her lips, fumbling for her phone as she met another thatch of missed calls, this time, both from Larissa and Dylan, and one from an unknown number.A frown ebbed her features as she clicked on the number, dialing it out back as the other line picked after one ring,“The boss asked you to call this number if you need anything. I’ll be expecting your call.” The person said as Reyna sighed heavily before hanging up.She needed to talk to Niko, t
“So where is she?” Alvarez asked as Niko entered the meeting room.“She’s not part of any of this. I told you that, leave her out.” Niko warned, taking his seat and favungvalvarex.“I don’t know why you’re here though. When we both talked, it’s until tomorrow that we’ll be having the meeting. Why call a meeting now?”“Because I have to be at home tomorrow and help my brother sulk. He called a lady for a date and she didn’t appear, someone he really likes.” Alvarez said as a sigh escaped his lips.He leaned towards Niko, his head coming forward to whisper in his ears,“I was wondering. Could you let this your girlfriend go for my brother, I’m sure she’ll be prettier than whosoever he’s dating, even though I’ve seen her picture once and she’s pretty too, but could you let go?” Alvarez said, staring deep into Nikos eyes.Niko lips curled up, darting his eyes away from Alvarez as a sigh escaped his lips. He leaned back into his chair with his palm joined together.“What business are you h
As they drove home, Reyna couldn’t help but gloat at how good she performed, making Niko lips curl up as he kept on scoffing and hissing,“He even had to say he loves me twice, have you ever seen anyone act like that before! It would be better if you just employ me once and for all, set me a space and you get to see this beautiful girl each day at your office.” She said, facing him as he drove.“You’ve not passed his test yet, he still hasn’t given you the money. It took less than an hour to convince him. You?” He mocked her.“If I was with my designs, I'd crush him faster than you did. Just wait and see. And I still gave the company some face?”“What face?” Niko asked her and also glanced at her.“I could have said we could have the meeting at a restaurant or dinner, but I decided who would do it there. Didn’t I do it well?” She said, her face beaming in all smiles.“And you think he didn’t notice how your expression changed when he called his name?” Niko said, completely shutting Re
Reyna woke up early the next day, covering Niko up with the blanket and dropping a note for him. She had to get to school early, one was to avoid Dylan and the other was just to avoid him again.She tiptoed carefully from her room, closing the door gently and walking downstairs. She didn’t know if her driver was always still around since Niko had been the one transporting her back and forth but she hoped he was around.“Miss, the driver is not here yet.” The guard on duty said to her as she walked out, a sigh escaping her lips.“But I can take you if you want, I know how to drive too.” The guard said before they heard the door open and Niko appearing with a disheveled appearance.He wasn’t wearing a shirt for a start, and his eyes contained lots of sleep that they might have an accident if they dare drive in his situation,“Go back to your post. I’ll take her.” He said.Reyna walked back to him, lowering her head and fumbling her hand together. She didn’t want him to say anything as s
“Won’t you tell me why you’re mad at me at least? How am I going to apologize if I don’t know why you’re even mad at me?” Reyna called out as they finished class, begging Larissa to please say something.Larissa stopped in her tracks and faced Reyna,“You just completely forgot me! I don’t know if it’s because of your relationships now, but now you don’t even care for me! It’s like I’m not even there anymore! You come to school and leave without checking or caring if I’m there! Is that fair?” She snapped at her as Reyna's eyes widened.Before she could move an inch out again, she quickly pulled her into a hug, squeezing her small self in her and making sure she wasn’t able to pull out.“I’m really sorry. I’m really really sorry.” Reyna said to her, holding her tight as Larissa continued to struggle.After a while, she gave up in her arms as she hugged her back,“You don’t know how much I missed eating with you and telling you things.” Reyna added as she patted her softly.“I’m really
Niko got to the restaurant, finding a nice table for three as he sat down. The waitress walked towards him, asking him if he needed anything but he was too lazy to reply. All his mind was on the goal he brought there , find some information about Reyna and then leave. He just hoped the girl the man was bringing had some kind of deformities where he could use to complain.He had not stayed for more than 10 minutes when a big car drove in. His eyes strained on it as a beautiful young lady came out. She was wearing a white skirt and matched it with a black plain top. She opened the back door as he saw the familiar cane, cursing under his breath and finding another idea which he can use to decline the girl. The man walked out of the car and towards the restaurant while the girl followed suit, her eyes roaming everywhere.“Do you recognize him, grandfather?”she called out.“Of course. He’s the one over there.” The old man pointed as they approached Niko.Niko stood up immediately as he saw
Reyna laid on the bed, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling. She had tried to make her design, to take her mind off the laughing image of Niko and the lady in the restaurant but nothing was helping.Out of spite, she had dialed Joe's number even though she knew he didn’t like her, coming up with unreasonable excuses for him and hanging up even before he could start pestering her.And yet, here she was, having difficulties sleeping and closing her eyes. Or even doing anything.“Ahhh!”She groaned out as she sat up on the bed for the umpteenth time.It was just a fake relationship between them both, and he could be with whoever else he wanted just like how he allowed her to go on the date with Dylan without caring. So who was she to start caring about who he is with or who he decides to smile with?She stood up angrily, walking inside the bathroom and splashing water to her face.“Wake up Reyna! Wake up!” She slapped herself.“This is not the time to be jealous of one girl! You have
" To the new CEO and her company " Joe stood up for the toast and we all did the same thing. " To us " we all yelled and then we drank and then ate that day. All through the dinner,Reyna only thought about one thing all through the night, and it was that she was a contented woman. After the celebration we locked the new building and then decided to head home. We went home in two, Reyna went with Niko while Lucas drove Larisa and Joe home." I will call you when I get home, Reyna, " Larisa said before getting into the car with Lucas and Joe. She waved her hands at Reyna as Lucas started the car and he drove off. Lucas dropped Joe off at his house first because he wanted to have alone time with Larisa. He drove them off in silence, although he had a lot of things he wanted to talk to her about, he was nervous to tell her what was on his mind.Larisa on the other hand was getting impatient due to the silence between her and Lucas because she had wanted to be alone with him all day and s
They both got down from the car and then Reyna took in her surroundings. they were at a small exquisite white two storey building and she could see Joe Lucas and Larissa standing in front of the building and the three of them a to Niko with a smile" I have not even done anything for you " he said with a hearty laugh and she looked away from him back at the house. before she could think Larissa was already squealing out and rushing to meet her friend." I am so happy for you, Reyna. You are successful and so beautiful. We made it through, even after all the tough times we had in school and everything we went through. Larissa said to her friend and she laughed at her friend's choice of words." I'm so happy that we made it to Larissa but I wouldn't have been happier and it wouldn't have been possible if not that I had you by my side. you are everything a girl could ever wish for in a best friend. you made me want to get better and even when I was sad about fashion sometimes you made me
" Hello beautiful, how was your day? Niko said and Reyna blushed at his words over the phone. she knew he was calling her to congratulate her on her success" Hi Niko. where are you?. you missed the whole thing " she said with a pout" I'm so sorry I was held up at work that's why but I'm here now. I need you to come out to the parking lot with your things " he told her and she wondered why he asked her to do that but she wanted to see him too so she had no choice" Okay then I will see you soon. let me just grab my things and then wrap things up inside and then I will come to you. "She said" I will be waiting for you then babe. bye " he said and she ended the call. She walked back to Alvarez and then thanked him again before going inside to grab her things. She told Dylan she was leaving and then she left the hall for the parking lot.She was searching for Niko and his car as she thought of what to do when she finally found him. she wondered if she got her a present and if she shoul
Niko left the building and got into his car before hitting the road. He was going to go and see Reyna today because of what he prepared for her. his father had wasted little of his time because of the nonsense he spilled out. It took a lot of self control to hold himself so he wouldn't have to slap his father because the man knew how to get on people's nerves."Call Lucas "Niko told his car and the car began to dial Lucas's number. he drove slowly while waiting for Lucas to pick up. After the third ring Lucas picked up the phone call."What is going on Niko, I was about to call you when I didn't hear anything from you all morning "Lucas said"I'm sorry I was stopped by my father on my way so I had to listen to what he had to say "Niko said and Lucas laughed. "The news came to him and he decided to come and beg didn't he. don't tell me you listened to him because Niko you have a soft heart "Lucas said and Niko smiled"I have a soft heart but only for the kind of people who deserve it a
"If that is all you have to say then I will take my leave now dad, thank you "Niko said with a forced smile. He tried to leave the room but his father blocked the way."Niko, I want to talk to you about something and you are trying to walk off. I am your father "he said and stopped Niko from going away."And I have nothing to hear from you. I have an important meeting to attend to "Niko said but his father held his hand causing him to stop on his track."What do you want now? "Niko hissed out, anger clearly in his voice"Just listen to me son please, let me come in and we can talk about this Niko please give me a chance "he begged and Niko was silent for a while before he finally spoke"Fine you can come in then "Niko said and his father smiled. He let him enter the office and then he closed the door after them."Niko, I will make this very short. I am your father and I raised you with the help of my wife, your mother "he said"You mean my step mother, the same woman who maltreated me
5 Niko had made a new announcement and that was what Jeremy’s guard had shown him, catching everybody completely off guard, Nirvana had announced that they will be signing a new deal with the Lynch group of companies and that there would be percentage for every company that works with Lynch group of companies or have shares in the companies. There have been a lot of rustle and bustle, interviews both TV and personal since Nirvana announced the new deal. It became the talk of the town and for a big company like Nirvana partnering with another Multi billion dollar company, the news soon spread far and wide. “We got a proposal for this deal from the owner himself and we feel so honored to be considered, really and for everyone that believes in us. We all say a big Thank you to you guys. Expect more from us.” Niko said in one of his interviews. “Board meeting, Now.” Niko called and all the board of directors gathered in the meeting room. It had been a busy day for everybody as e
Jeremy and Niko both laughed it off and just had an handshake and both hugged each other. Reyna came downstairs to meet them. “What? You think I wouldn’t say a personal goodbye to you?” Reyna said as she smiled, making Jeremy also smile. “Bye. Do have a safe trip.” Reyna said, hugging Jeremy and giving him a peck on his cheek. “Thank you. I sure will.” Jeremy said as he laughed and said his goodbye to Niko and Reyna. “You both take good care of yourself.” He added as he hoped in his car to take his leave. The engine revved and the car left the building not long after. They finally got back to the city with Jeremy resting his head on the window and thinking about his meeting with his daughter Reyna and the new memories he looked forward in making with her. Jeremy got home exhausted, making a cup of tea for himself as he thought of everything that has happened these past days. Jeremy thought about visiting his wife’s graveyard before going to the office. Taking a shower, Je
“Thank you.” Jeremy said excited about Reyna agreeing to come see him sometimes and just then Niko made his way back to where he’d left Reyna and Jeremy. Jeremy’s guard came in almost at the same time too to get Jeremy’s stuff. “Careful with that bag, take that first and you can come in for the other.” He told his guard who immediately heeded to the instruction. “I also want to have a word with you, Niko.” Jeremy said as Niko was about to seat, Niko stood back up immediately. “Oh No. Seat, please.” Jeremy said while also having his seat back too. “I’ll leave you both, I need a shower anyway.” Reyna said, standing up and heading into the room. “Okay.” Niko said. “Take care dear.” Jeremy said to her because he knew he might not get the opportunity to see her before he leaves, she seemed tired and had yawned before leaving and he wouldn’t want to disturb her by asking her to wait behind. “So, Niko. I just wanted to say I’m sorry.” Jeremy started and Niko looked sur
2 “Goodness, I am so full.” Reyna laughed, rubbing her belly. “I can’t believe we left Lucas and Larissa there alone.” She added. “Why? They’re adults, they need some alone time just as much as we do, Hence the reason we’re going home for a night of Netflix and chill.” Niko said seductively, raising both eyebrows. “Hmm. Really?” Reyna said equally trying to be seductive too. “We could start the “chilling” here too.” She added, rubbing her palm on his thigh. “No. I love my life, Reyna. Let me live. Not here.” Niko immediately protested and they both laughed. Getting home Niko drove into the building, packed the car properly and both of them got out laughing. They got inside the house to see Jeremy packing his bags, Reyna and Niko looked at each other in confusion, although there was no reason for it. “Oh, you guys are back.” Jeremy said, zipping one of the bags he had packed already. “Yes, we are.” Niko said. “What’s going on?” He added and raised one of his eyebrows in
