Victoria sighed deeply. She didn't think it was a good idea for her friend to confess to him yet. They might have known each other for over three months but she wasn't open to the idea of her friend confessing first."How much do you know about him?" Victoria asked her. She still regarded Mathew as the mysterious guy as Elizabeth wasn't one to keep quiet about someone else's identity."Well I know he is an orphan. He has a sister and works in a big company. He owns a mansion and has a lot of cars. He is a very good brother and a very good listener." She tells her friend."That's not bad for a start. What's his favorite food?" She asked.Elizabeth brows creased in confusion as she wondered the reason for her friend's sudden interrogation. "Is something wrong? Are we going to start with this identity check of a thing again?" Elizabeth asked. Victoria never let a day go by without asking about Mathews' background whenever she brought him up.She understood her friend's insecurities but i

"You are really stupid to think a man like Mr Smith is single. He doesn't look single, he doesn't act single and besides we finally got the proof we wanted and I remember telling you I saw him with a very beautiful woman in a restaurant and they were speaking in a not so friendly manner." Rebecca said as she folded her arms across her chest.Victoria remembered Mr Smith telling her he had no girlfriend and the girl he was seen with was his friend. She suddenly does not know if she should believe him or not. Rebecca's words were convincing and that made her heart ache as she remembered the kiss she shared with him.She felt her chest tighten as she clenched her fist thinking if he really had a girlfriend. Rebecca noticed some changes in Victoria's face that got her concerned."Is something wrong Victoria? Your face suddenly changed." Rebecca said staying the obvious. Immediately, Victoria forced a smile on her face as she shook her head. "Nothing. I just remembered something." She lie

Elizabeth bit her little finger nails as she nervously waited for Mathew to answer his phone. Biting her nails was a habit of hers whenever she was nervous about something. After the night she had called him to come pick her up but he couldn't because of the rain, she had not heard from him again.She didn't want to come off clingy but lately she has been getting weird vibes from him. They didn't have any issues but it felt as if they did. It was starting to seem one sided and she didn't like it. She had never felt this deep connection with someone before. In the past she had ex but the feelings she has for Mathew was far more greater than she did for any of her ex'sShe heaved a sigh of relief when the call went through. "Hey," she said with a smile on her face when Mathew answered the call."Elizabeth, how are you?" He asked softly, a tone that always sent shivers down her spine."I've been good. I stood where I was kept by you. How have you been? Busy?" She asked.Mathew chuckled

Victoria looked back into his eyes before exhaling deeply. "Okay. Let's go." she tells him. "Oh my goodness!" Both Landon and Victoria halted on their track when they heard a voice. Victor recognized that voice very well as it belonged to someone she worked with. "Awww, isn't this so sweet? Did he come to apologize?" Rebecca's face came to sight as she moved closer to Landon and Victoria.Landon had never seen Rebecca before so he looked at her with questioning brows while Victoria facepalmed herself.Rebecca's eyes glanced at Landon's and Victoria entwined fingers and she smiled.

Victoria froze on spot as she seized her breath. The person she had been trying to avoid and also the person who had invaded her thoughts since yesterday was now standing behind her. Her heart began to beat faster than normal. Her palms become sweaty again. She swallowed an invisible lump in her throat as she suddenly felt her mouth go dry."It's okay. We just got here." Landon tells his friend.Mr Smith had not seen Victoria yet as she was backing him. He looked at her hair and shrugged before taking a seat. It was when he sat down that he noticed Victoria beside him. His eyes widened once he saw her, he could tell she was avoiding him as she refused to look his way to see who it was. He guessed his voice had given him away.Landon cleared his throat.

Mr Smith explained to his friend who didn't seem to believe him.Landon rubbed his eyes with his index and thumb finger. "Fuck!" He cursed as she sat back down on his seat. He had gotten up from his seat when he had offered to drive her back home."Her friend Rebecca told me she was in a bad mood today. Said it had something to do with a relationship. I do not know what to think but I feel she has feelings for another." Landon tells his friend."Rebecca?" Mr Smith questioned wanting to be sure it was the right name he had heard his friend say."Yes. She is a colleague with Victoria.

All the while Rebecca spoke, he looked at Victoria who looked at the folder in her hands in an attempt to avoid meeting Mr Smith's eyes. After his conversation with Elizabeth, he thought of many things he could do to make it up to Victoria. He had taken what Elizabeth suggested into consideration and now he had searched on the internet the best place to take a woman to."That's all for today." Rebecca informed him."Okay. You may leave." He tells them. They both turned to leave when Mr Smith stopped them."Not you Rebecca, you can leave. Victoria, wait behind." He told her.

Victoria kicked her shoes off once she was back into her apartment. Tears filled her eyes all through her journey back. It hurts in her chest so much that she wondered why her stomach ached too.His words weren't supposed to have much effect on her yet it did. She had walked away from him and acted like what happened between them never happened.She walked into her room, praying Elizabeth wasn't awake yet as she didn't want to start explaining the situation to her. That night she had not been able to sleep as she tossed and turned on her bed."Oh my goodness!" Elizabeth exclaimed as she stared at her best friend looking like a mess in the morning. "Did you sleep at all? What happened to you? Your eyes are swollen."

"Yes." Mr Smith answered without hesitation."Hmm. I see. Do I know her? Who is she?" Landon asked. Mr Smith at that time decided to dig into his food. He wasn't going to talk about who had his feelings all messed up."Let's dig in. The food is almost cold." Mr Smith said dismissively, making Landon roll his eyes at him. "So are you down for my earlier suggestion?" Landon asked."What did you say again?" Mr Smith questioned as he couldn't remember what Landon had suggested they do."Let's go out. To a bar, club, anywhere. Just to get rid of the tension earlier today. The truth is, it's been a long time since I had any woman feel my..." He cleared his throat hoping his signs alone were enough to give the hint he wanted to show his friend.Mr Smith shook his head. "You are always horny. I thought you liked Victoria? Suddenly you want to jump on another?" Mr Smith brows raised in a questioning manner. When he doubted Landon's affection for Victoria, he knew he wasn't wrong and now Lando
