"I must say I got quite a shock when I saw your phone call, Victoria. It's been long, how have you been?" Landon asked.Victoria chuckled lightly as she helped herself sit on the chair in the VIP session of the bar. She had not expected Landon to tell her to meet him here. When she called him this morning, she wondered if she was supposed to have a talk with him after all he never confessed his feelings for her and she had no idea about anything so if she went ahead and dated Mr Smith, it wasn't her problem but then again she felt bad.Mr Smith felt he was the one that was supposed to have the talk with Landon and not Victoria but Victoria insisted on having her own conversation with him."I've been good. It's been such a long time since I last heard from you, I hope you have been living well?" She asked with a smile on her face.Landon shrugged. "Someone missed me?" His brows raised in a questioning manner as he teased her."Maybe so or not. So tell me, have you been fine?" She quest
"I must say it's been quite long since I saw you. Where have you been?" Mr Smith asked Landon as soon as Landon sat down on the couch in his office."And I must say all these while you didn't call or ask about my whereabouts or what I was doing." Landon retorted with a smirk."So Jason, what do you have for me? I'm thirsty." Landon spoke."Stand up and get yourself something from the fridge." Mr Smith replied."Is that how you treat your guests? I must say you are quite bad at this all. Bad hospitality and bad manners. You wouldn't even come to find me if I didn't come to you." Landon tells him."My bad. So how have you been and what have you been up to?" Mr Smith asked.Landon pinched the bridge of his nose as he crossed his legs. "I got promoted and I got transferred." Landon answered casually."What? Are you for real? Congratulations Landon. You got transferred to London?" Mr Smith asked."Yes and I am the COO." He told him."That's good news. How do we celebrate? I'm done for it."
Mr Smith had a frantic facial expression the moment Landon began to laugh. He wanted to understand the reason for Landon's laughter. Did Landon know of his feelings towards Victoria? Did Victoria tell Landon of his feelings for her? He thought to himself.For some reasons he wasn't worried about the outcome anymore after all Victoria had chosen Landon over him. It hurts him so much. He had never been in a situation like this and the pain terrified him.How could he feel pain in his heart, stomach and head, all at once?" He asked himself."Oh my goodness! You should have seen your face." Landon snickered as he pointed his index finger at him."Wow! I didn't know I could scare you like that? Jason this is literally the first time I was able to move your panties!" He spoke, making Mr Smith cringe when he mentioned the words panties.Landon was known to make very unnecessary comments and it wasn't new to him but still it made him cringe. What was funny to him about the whole situation he
Elizabeth tapped her fingernails on the table as she listened to Me Smith rant about his proposal. He had invited her so she could help him with his plans on how to ask Victoria to be his girlfriend. He spoke with joy in his heart as he explained his entire plans to her. She wished she was the reason behind his smile. She didn't like that he was smiling because of another woman and it hurt her to her bone.While she managed to keep her facial expression blank, within her, she was burning. Her chest tightened and her stomach churned. She was in pain. She was trying to look happy for him but ended up failing because if he hadn't been too oblivious, he would have sent her.It hurts her so much that all she had in her head was means on how to strangle the woman to death. She had never thought she'd come to have so much hatred for another woman this much because of a man."So, I really need your help." Mr Smith tells her.He swallowed the pile of spit that formed on her throat. How was s
Today is the day Elizabeth looked forward to seeing the face of the woman who had stolen the beard of Mr Smith.Mr Smith had called to inform her of the location and time with a good heart. He had only told her because she requested it and nothing more.The moment he told her the location and time, her mood had changed. All she could think of was castrating the woman who had stolen the heart of the man she claimed.Elizabeth left thirty minutes before the proposed time given to her by Mr Smith as she wanted to see the lady come in.Victoria went to Elizabeth's room to look for her so she could help her with her dress zip but she didn't see her. She wondered where she could have gone without informing her.After struggling to zip her dress, she finally did it. She was now ready to step out of the house to the location given to her by Mr Smith.Elizabeth immediately hide the moment she saw Mr Smith car drive in. They watched as he came down from the car and stepped into the building. S
Elizabeth almost fell at that moment as her knees weakened and her jaw dropped. She blinked her eyes more than once to make sure she wasn't seeing double and each time the same face sat opposite Mr Smith.She found it hard to believe that her best friend was the one who had stolen the heart of the man she loved. A lone tear rolled down her cheek as she felt betrayed by the one and only person she thought had her back in this world.She placed one of her hands on her mouth to stop herself from making any sound as she held her back with her other hands tightly. So many questions went through her mind and the more she thought of it, the more heartbroken. She had her headache the most. "Why!" She asked within herself before dashing out of the building in tears.Victoria was the one who had stolen her man. Memories of Victoria badmouthing Mr Smith with every chance she had resurfaced in her head and it ached the moe as she thought of it.She felt Victoria had done all of that to make her
Elizabeth couldn't sleep all night because she felt betrayed by the only person she thought she could put her life into her hands while Victoria couldn't sleep all night because she was finally someone's girlfriend and the feeling was euphoric to her.That morning, Victoria went to Elizabeth's room but it was locked. She knocked on the door several times but got no reply even though Elizabeth heard her knock.Giving up, she dialed Elizabeth's phone number but got no reply and so she gave up. Before she left the house, she knocked on the door again, telling her to answer her as she was starting to panic and so as not for Victoria to break down her door. She told her she was fine.Her dislike for Victoria only heightened. She felt Victoria was acting and she hated it. "How could one be so fake and pretentious!" She asked herself mentally.She wanted to approach Victoria already and send her packing but for some reason she was holding it and trying to get a hold of herself first.Victori
"Mathew Jason Smith." Elizabeth called the full name of Mr Smith after he sent her through a text his full name when she asked for it."You lied Victoria. You lied about everything. You intentionally misled me and called him Jason so that I wouldn't know who it was you are talking about right?" She blew out air from her mouth as she put words together."Mathew Jason Smith." She called again. She couldn't wait for Victoria to get back home so she could confront her.Victoria returned home that evening with a smile on her face as always. The feeling she had was of immense happiness. She was yet to tell Elizabeth about it because she had not seen her friend.The moment Victoria stepped her feet on the living room, she froze on spot as she saw Elizabeth seated on the couch with her head bowed and a knife in her hand."Bee?" She called as she walked closer to her friend."Bee?" She called again as she got closer. The moment she got closer, she had to move back in fear as Elizabeth pointed
It's been a year since Elizabeth died. Victoria went to her grave to visit her. After she moved away from New York and away from her hometown, she decided to return to visit Elizabeth. The moment she stepped into the cemetery, tears formed in her eyes. Like Deja Vu, memories with Elizabeth filled her head. They were the best of her life. Elizabeth died at age twenty three, leaving her to face this cruel world alone and it hurt her. There was no time she didn't see anything that wouldn't remind her of Elizabeth. Elizabeth has been a constant in her life and even though she was angry with her and decided to cut ties with her, she meant no harm to her. "Hi Bee," Victoria said once she stood in front of Elizabeth's grave. "It's been long," Victoria quickly wiped the tears that formed in her eyes. She sniffled a little. "How have you been? Has the weather...weather been treating you nice?" She asked, tears streaming down her cheek. "I miss you. I miss you so much that I wish that my life i
"I'm sorry but she's dead" That word kept ringing in Victoria's ear. It became a ringing bell in her head. Her best friend was gone and she left before they could make a proper make up. It hurt her so much. Tears streamed down her face profusely as she recalled it all. She blamed herself for calling Elizabeth out. She blamed herself that if she had not showed up in front of Elizabeth, she wouldn't have died. She blamed herself as she sat on the floor of the hospital ground. Elizabeth was no more. She had managed to call and inform Elizabeth parents She hated herself. She wished she had not called her out. She wished Elizabeth wasn't hit. As much as she was angry with Elizabeth, she'd never wish death on her. It hurt her so much that she has lost her best friend and she wished it never happened. It felt like a dream to her yet she knew it was reality. She felt she liked her friend. "Where is my child?" Elizabeth's mother cried out as she came into the hospital. Elizabeth's mother, Ella
On a bright Sunday morning, Victoria decided to call Elizabeth. She hoped Elizabeth would reply as she wanted to know her location and go meet her there so they could converse with one another. She was finally going to end all of this and come to a conclusion with Elizabeth. "What do you want?" Was the first word Elizabeth said the moment she answered the call. "I want us to meet," Victoria replied. "Meet? Why would I want to meet someone like you? You are literally not worth my time and I do not want to waste any time with you. I'd obviously be foolish to create time for someone as worthless as you," Elizabeth spat out. "I am only asking if we meet. It's nothing serious. I need us to talk," Victoria spoke, trying to keep her temper at bay. She didn't want Elizabeth to suddenly end the call while she was talking. She wanted to speak with her and ask her and end their friendship for life. She also wanted to clear everything and tell her mind and let everything end. After what Elizabeth
The moment everyone left and it was just Mr Smith and Mr lucky, Mr lucky decided to ask what had been in his mind since he heard what the actual problem was. "Are you sleeping with Miss Perkins?" Mr Smith was taken aback by Mr Lucky's question as he had not expected him to be so direct about it. "Are you?" Me lucky asked again, his brows rose up slightly in a questioning manner. "She's my girlfriend," he answered. He didn't want to say yes to Mr Lucky's question and male it seem like Victoria wasn't important to him and he was using her to pass time. "You are not surprised?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky as he noticed Mr lucky had not reacted as he imagined. "Yes. It's surprising right?" Mr Lucky asked and Mr Smith hummed. "Why is that so?" Mr Smith asked, wanting to know. "Well, it's easy. You remember what you told me when I asked you why?" Mr Lucky asked. Mr Smith thought back to the time Mr lucky had asked him why he chose Victoria as a part of the programming team. "Where are you drivi
Mr Smith was surprised to see Mr Lucky in his office as he wasn't expecting him. What surprised him were the people that followed behind him and most especially Victoria. As he took a closer look at her, he saw tears in her eyes and his heart clenched. What happened to her? He thought to himself as he diverted his attention back to Mr Smith. "It seems we have got very unprofessional programmers in this company and I think it's time we remove them and recruit new ones," Mr Lucky said the moment he sat down on the chair. Rebecca played with her fingers whole avoiding contact with Mr Smith. Flora and Maryanne were ready to defend their cause as they believed they only did what was right. "What happened?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky frantically. "I do not know what happened but these programmers are now children and have decided to engage I'm fist fights and pulling each other's hair," Mr Lucky spoke sternly. Mr Smith looked at Victoria for some seconds before looking away. She wasn't involve
A scowl formed on Rebecca's face immediately. She thought to herself what Elizabeth had in mind and why she was creating a scene. "You all want to know the truth right and then I shall tell you," Elizabeth said. Rebecca got up from her seat and in anger she walked towards Elizabeth. "You are not allowed here and who are you? Leave this instance before I call the guards on you," Rebecca warned but Elixir could care less. Nobody was going to stop her from saying what she had in mind today and she doesn't care about the consequences. She refused to lose to Victoria and so she will drag Victoria to the mud. "Your precious college here is fucking your boss!" Elizabeth exclaimed, making everyone in the room shocked by her revelation. They all have one another, a knowing look while trying to figure at the same time is what she was saying is true. "This girl here name Victoria is nothing but a slut because she's fucking your boss Mathew Jason Smith!" She made sure to call Mr Smith by his full
Mr Smith shook his head in disbelief. Elizabeth's attitude had changed all of a sudden once he asked if she would take the opportunity to be his girlfriend. The same girl that had acted as if she loved her best friend could suddenly care less about her and it baffled him. "So you would date me now if I asked you to?" Mr Smith asked and she nodded her head. "Of course. I mean..." She shrugged. Mr Smith got up from his chair, having heard enough from her. He didn't want to stay in the same place as her or have any conversation with her anymore. "Are you leaving?" Elizabeth asked as Mt Smith got up on his feet. "This conversation is over," he said sternly, surprising her by his action. "Over?" Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was he talking about and why did his attitude suddenly change? She thought to herself. "Yes Elizabeth. I do not want to ever speak to you again. I hope this is the last time we ever speak to one another again," he tells her in a stern manner. Elizabeth got up f
'Let meet up.' Elizabeth read the message sent to her by Mr Smith out loud. A frantic expression formed on her face. They had no plans to meet today so why was he suddenly expecting them to meet. She quickly typed her reply. 'Sure.' Not too long Mr Smith sent the address to her and she texted a reply that she would be meeting him when she closes from work. "It's done," Mr Smith said to Victoria. "So she'd be coming to meet you then. I'm nervous," Victoria sighed. Mr Smith rubbed her shoulder that was exposed softly. "You don't have to be. Things will work out fine," he assured her. She heaved a deep breath. "The truth is, I really want to make things right with her. I want to put friendship back. I miss her so much but I fear that it would never be the same," Victoria tells him. "It will be fine. I will just talk to her as we planned and clarify the whole situation and then you guys will be good again," he tells her but she has doubts. The Elizabeth that spoke to her the night she lef
That was all Victoria needed to hear. To know that her man doesn't see her as a mad woman was enough for her."Babe, come on. Tell me already. What happened between the both of you. What's going on because I do not want to be lost in all of this. Weren't you guys best friends? What happened and why does she have to say you have mental issues?" He inquired.Victoria opened her mouth to say something but she closed it back. How does she start? She thought to herself."Elizabeth and I are childhood friends, not just friends but best friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school and same college and graduated the same year. To be honest the problem between us is still baffling me.""If someone had told me that my best friend and I would no longer share the same close bond with one another again, I would have doubted. I would have fought that person because it was impossible for Elizabeth and I to stay away from each other. We were more than friends but sisters.""Our relation
