Mr Smith said nothing as he looked into the eyes of his friend. He wondered why he had thought that he had feelings for him. He wanted to burst into another fit of laughter but decided against it. He decided to piss Landon off instead.His facial expression changed as he leaned closer to Landon making Landon wary. He grabbed Landon's hands on the table, making Landon's eyes widened."What...what are you doing?" Landon stuttered as he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.Mr Smith swallowed the lump in his throat. He was struggling not to laugh because Landon's facial expression was killing him. "How is it that you are just realising?" He had managed to say without laughing. He wanted to pee on himself just by looking at Landon.Landon removed his hands from Mr Smith's hold and kept it to himself. "Oh my goodness!" He gasped for air."You..." Landon pointed his index finger at himself and then at Mr Smith."You like me?" He asked, wanting to be sure he was hearing his friend well.Mr Smith n
"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
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." Elizabeth spoke as she walked towards her friend with concern on her face.She placed her hands on Victoria's eyes to see if she was sick or showed any sign of fever. She touched her forehead to feel her temperature."You seem fine Toria. What happened? You had a nightmare
If happiness was a person, then that would be Elizabeth. She had left work earlier than her supposed time as she had told her director of an emergency which she had to attend to.All through the day, aside from her little argument with Victoria, she had a good day. She had totally put the issue with Victor behind her as she didn't want to have a bad day. Every once in a while, she'd remember Victoria and sigh. She was expecting her best friend to be by her side today and help her out with her clothing and accessories but her best friend has decided to be so suspicious of her new found relationship. She gets baffled everytime she thinks about it.Victoria was always suspicious of her relationship in the past and truly they ended badly as Victoria predicted but she felt Mathew was going to be different. She threw the accessory on her hand on the bed as she groaned in frustration. "Don't do this Elizabeth. You are supposed to be happy. This is supposed to be your happy day. Get behind m
"The launch date is set and everything is in order. Mr Marcos from Hightech will be available on that day." Rebecca informed Mr Smith."Okay." Mr Smith said. 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's heart skipped that very moment he asked her to wait. She had been avoiding him for days now and now she was going to be stuck in the same room with the man that hurt her feelings."Me." She pointed at herself wanting to be sure he had insisted she
Victoria's eyes widened as the folder in her hands fell on the ground. Her boss was kissing her for the second time and for a reason she didn't know of.Immediately, she got a hold of herself, she pushed him away from her not in a forceful way and she wiped her lips with the back of her palm. She glared at him."Tonight at eight, meet me at the hotel. Be there on time." He tells her before leaving his own office for her. Victoria staggered back a bit. It was after he left everything dawn on her."Did he just ask me to meet him in a hotel?" She felt insulted by that statement. "Does he think I am a hoe desperate? Oh my goodness? He wants to sleep with me because he thinks I would be comfortable with it?" She felt so insulted as she thought of the obvious reasons he had asked her to see him in a hotel.He was her boss yet she felt insulted. She couldn't believe the man she looked up to for years would think so low of her and it hurt her more because she actually felt her heart flutter u
Tears rolled down Victoria's cheek as she saw the hate in the eyes of her friends. She shivered in tremor not because she was scared of Elizabeth but because of the hate her best friend had come to have for her.Her heart clenched as she tasted the salty water that rolled down her cheek. "Why?" She muttered."She wanted to know where she had gone wrong, what she had obviously done to her friend to make her want her death. She wondered how it all happened and what could have made her best friend come to a decision like this.Elizabeth scoffed. "Why?" She laughed hysterically. She rolled her eyes at Victoria as she held onto the knife in her hands tightly.More tears ran down Victoria's cheek, her friend sounded bitter. She couldn't believe it. The Elizabeth she knew was scared to hurt a fly.She was the one who preferred peace to violence and here in front of her, was another person entirely and she wasn't sure if she could call her a friend. "Why did it have to come to this? Why! Why
Wherever you saw Elizabeth, you would see Victoria. They were two peas in a pod from the first day they became friends.Their relationship started from kindergarten to primary school all the way to middle and high school until university. Although they were opposite, they complimented each other well.Victoria is the extrovert between these two. She could get the attention of everyone without doing much and was extremely friendly. She was the complete opposite of Elizabeth which made their friendship interesting as they were able to understand one another and were always there for one another. People often wonder how they got along so well when their personalities differ but these girls have been able to fill each other's shortcomings and blend well with one another.They proved to everyone that friendship wasn't about liking the same things alone or being the same kind of people but the beauty of friendship was more about the different personalities and how they fit well in each oth

Mr Smith shook his head. "She didn't have any phone call that I am aware of and besides we were fine so I do not understand anything." 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. She said Victoria's mood has been down all day and she said it has to do with Victoria's love life and she mistook me for the guy who was supposed to be the cause of her sad mood." He explained to his friend as he sighed deeply.He wanted to doubt that she had interest in s
Landon got up from his seat. "I will be back soon. I have to use the restroom." He informed Mr Smith and Victoria who nodded their heads in response.As soon as Landon left, it became awkward for both Mr Smith and Victoria. Both looked elsewhere except themselves. Mr Smith was tempted to speak to her, to clear the differences between them but he couldn't man up and do it. It was unlike him and he knew it.He was still angry with her that she had left in the middle of the night without letting him know. The waiter came to take their order. "Good evening, Sir, ma'am." He greeted them again respectively, placing their orders on the table. Both nodded their heads in acknowledgment. "You may go for now, we will call you when we need you again." Mr Smith tells him and the waiter nodded his head I'm understanding before leaving them."Victoria." Mr Smith finally called after gathering enough courage and setting his pride aside.He was going to be on good terms with her for the sake of his f
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. He noticed that Victoria wasn't trying to look at Mr Smith and he thought it was because she was caught by surprise having to have dinner with her boss. He expected such a reaction from her but he didn't know why Mr Smith was shocked t
