. "No" Amber replied bluntly, she was disgusted with the fact that the rich think they can get anything they want just because they have the money to spend at will. Just the thought of it was annoying, there was no way she would risk her job just to make a person happy, besides she was still angry at Charlotte so why would she give Charlotte the satisfaction of seeing her run away because of her. Never. "Sorry? What did you say?" Melinda wanted to confirm she heard Amber correctly, she was so sure it was her ears playing tricks on her. "You heard me correctly ma'am, I can't and I won't accept your proposal, besides I like my job so there is absolutely nothing that would stop me from leaving my job at the company." Melinda was flabbergasted at her response, she thought Amber would be so shocked at the offer and agree to it willingly, who would have thought Amber will turn her offer down? Now she was even more certain that Amber didn't want to stay in the company to keep her job, no she
Amber thought Xavier's parents were too hard on him, setting a standard for him that he has to follow just because he is wealthy just didn't seem like the right thing to do to her kids, she will let them choose a path for themselves and guide them if they try to go astray. Unlike Xavier's parents who want him to follow only their rules. Amber shook her head in disappointment at the thought. "Hold up" Sophia said out of the blue, Amber looked at Sophia waiting for what she had to say. "If Charlotte's mother wants to bribe you into leaving Xavier's company just because her daughter wants him to only be her herself then don't you think they are really serious about the arranged marriage?" Amber raised her brow in confusion at her not sure what she was trying to point out. "Don't you get it?" She asked and Amber kept quiet waiting for her to add some sentences that would make her statement clear to her. She soon started talking after seeing her silence,"This means that Xav
Amber was starting to see sense in what Sophia was saying, Xavier once told her that he didn't like the arranged marriage and his parents gave him a two month's deadline to show them his girlfriend, Amber also remembered Xavier mentioned having a mystery girl he liked, but what bothered Amber now was why Xavier will tell her those kind of things, does he like her? She didn't want to think deep into it and break her own heart when the answer came out to be the opposite. "Are you still thinking about it?" Sophia asked, breaking Amber away from her thoughts. Amber shook her head at her and replied,"Okay let's assume I take your advice seriously and actually try to get him to like me this next two months, do you think Charlotte or her mother will back down? I know they won't, or do you think his family will accept me after knowing my background story" Amber paused for a while, she let her insecurity get the best of her again, she heaved a deep breath and said in a low tone,"I am not sure
When Sophia couldn't think of a better answer to give Amber, she just laughed it out and praised Amber for turning the tables on her so easily. "This is not about me Amber, Unlike you, I am very sure that my boss has no feelings for me whatsoever okay?" Sophia said to which Amber nodded her head slowly, still looking at Sophia she said,"Okay let's say I believe you, if he has no feelings for you then why would he ask you out of everyone in his company to come with him, remember you aren't even his personal secretary and according to what you said earlier and I quote," Most people often take their partners along with them on event like this but he chose to take you along with him, doesn't that give you a hint that he might have something for you?"Amber repeated what Sophia said to her a while ago. Seeing Sophia's silence she went further,"Well this gives me a hint that your boss has something for you, young lady". Amber said with confidence to Sophia. If Sophia thinks she can keep her
jenna's question confirmed her thoughts that they weren't really taught that in school, she turned towards elena requesting for an answer to explain herself. "i just wanted to try out different algebra's, we weren't really taught that in class. elena replied meekly. "it's grade 9 maths mum, elena told me to give it to her to test her smartness" amber almost gasped, on the other hand she was surprised that her child was attempted a grade 9 question and actually got it correct while on the other hand she couldn't believe her son has actually been studying grade 9 maths since! when he was just in grade 4, she really felt like she was doing great as a mum in knowing anything about her children's studies or what they are up to. before she could get any word on, jenna gasped and faced elena,"but we are in grade 4! i don't think it's right to do other grades homework". jaden rolled his eyes at her statement,"it is very right to do other grades assignment if you want to be smart but definitel
"The dress is elegant and presentable and that is all you need to know about it" Amber said ignoring Sophia's earlier question. "Okay whatever, I'm going to see it tomorrow anyways and I'll be the judge of it" Sophia said making Amber roll her eyes even more. They soon changed the topic and began talking about a different thing as the time went by. Amber checked the time, it read 23:00 pm "I guess it's time for bed" Sophia said yawning. "Yeah" Amber replied tiredly, they really stayed up talking away, Amber didn't want to make her kids run late to school and also she didn't want to come late for work so she decided to retire to bed now. Amber stood up from the couch with Sophia doing the same also, they soon went into their respective rooms. Amber was greeted with the sight of her three kids sprawled out on their respective beds. She awed at the sight, they looked so innocent. She went to her bed and laid down to sleep.Meanwhil
Sophia got literally confused when he asked the question, was this the same guy always on her neck literally that annoys her all the time? Nope definitely not. Sophia thought so she said the first thing that entered her mind. "Are you okay sir? Are you sure you are not mistaking me for someone else?" Jake blinked at her response, originally he thought she would be glad and probably wear a happy smile at the thought of him asking her out, he knew how many girls would be waiting for this opportunity to be with him and what's better? To be his date! So Sophia's answer took him by surprise but he didn't express anything, instead he chuckled normally and told her,"Well I am tired of taking slutty women as my dates, the event was going to be classic, Billionaires will be coming from around the country and trust me I do not want a woman hanging on my arm like a fly or something and that's when you came into my mind, you hate me right? And plus you are decent and
After they were done eating, Amber hailed a back for both herself and her children while Sophia hailed a separate cab to go to the company. Amber dropped her kids off and went straight to the company. The time was "8:00" when she arrived so she wasn't that late to work. Once the cab stopped in front of the company, she paid for the t-fare, hopped down and went inside the company. She saw an unfamiliar face behind the receptionist counter, although she didn't know much of her colleagues, she was already used to all their faces when walking around so this one was definitely new. She was behind the receptionist counter so Amber suspected she might be a new receptionist that Xavier hired. Amber was about to walk past her when a voice drew back,"Good morning!" The loud and chirpy voice yells. Amber turned back and was surprised to see that it was the new receptionist greeting her. Amber did not want to come off as rude to the girl so she humbly replied back with a smile,"Good morning." She
The next stop was Blessed Orphanage. Xavier knew the children must have missed him,he missed them too. He didn't really understand why he had fallen in love with kids so much. Maybe it was because he ended up being the only child after his younger sister died at four. He became sad immediately he remembered and Amber who was also sitting at the back seat noticed when his countenance changed. Amber wondered what Xavier would be thinking that got him looking really sad.She wasn't really comfortable whenever he looked this way and decided to ask. "Is something wrong Xavier?", Amber asked softly as she touched his arm.When he looked at her Amber was shocked to see tears in his house. She didn't even realize what she was doing until she did it. Guess it was an impulse because she hugged him. "It's okay",She cooed softly. Xavier rested more in the embrace. His tears spilled
Xavier got to work really early and few minutes later Amber came in."Good morning sir",Amber said smiling sweetly at Xavier who couldn't help himself but smiled back.'`Good morning Amber,truat you had a goodnight rest?''Xavier said and asked."Yes sir,I did", Amber replied. Amber had seriously been wondering when she woke up this morning preparing her children for school how today was going to be like in the office with Xavier because of that dinner night.She ended up early in the office and that happened because Mrs Jones helped to take the children to school. She really was a lifesaver. "What's our schedule going to be like today sir?",Amber asked as she carried her notepad to jot down all he wanted to say. "Okay firstly we are going to your kids school -",He was about to continue when he got stopped by Amber's wide eyed que
"Mum!"Elena screamed as she swung higher up in the sky. They were all at a children's park. Amber felt the kids had been held up at home far too long and decided to let them have fun. She was smiling at them as they were playing and interacting so well with other children. She decided to get some ice cream for her children. While she was buying if from a nearby stand a tinted black car drove in and some men in black came down. Immediately Amber turned to go give her children the ice creams, she turned white when she saw that the men had entered the park and were moving around.She got so scared she didn't even realize that she had dropped the ice cream cones and was running down to her children. "Jaden!Jenna!Elena!,come here quick!"She was practically screaming and the children were even shocked and ran to their mum immediately wondering what was wrong. She hugged them very close immediately they got to choking them. She was indeed behaving like a mother hen prote
"How could you Charlotte?!",Mrs O'Neill was practically shouting her brains out. The video had gone viral by now and her parents had even gotten to know about it. Charlotte was almost in tears now.she had practically rushed back home so she could do something about the video or call one editor she knew and hacker only to meet her mum mad as hell. "Mum I just got mad because I saw that stupid girl with Xavier", Charlotte said practically sobbing now."Is that why you had to act inappropriately now of all times?"Mrs O'Neill asked, giving her daughter an absurd look. She didn't understand this girl most of the time. She acted like a child throwing tantrums and it got her wondering if she pampered her way too much and had gotten the parental guide all wrong. "Mum, I am sorry", Charlotte said and another part of her was just plotting out a possible revenge on Amber
Charlotte had been so excited about prom and was even more excited because of who her date was. It was no other person than Xavier, in fact,she thought she was going to be dateless because no one had dared to ask her out. She was really beautiful and being beautiful wasn't the reason why no one had asked her out,the boys were all just too scared of her. That's all.She really didn't know the reason why though but she believed it had been because of Xavier. Everyone knew they were best friends and their parents were really close so she believed she boys just assumed that maybe they were dating. Charlotte sighed, because she on the other hand never tried to correct them off that mindset because she had always had a crush on Xavier and had thought or should she say believed that Xavier also would have the same feelings also towards her. This was the very reason she got overly excited when Xavier had asked her out and he also had come to take her from her house to the prom. T
Xavier woke up feeling very happy and he knew that today was going to be a great day. He could already feel it. He had been in his parents house and he was happy that he hadn't been hearing anything about marriage or Charlotte from there lately. It was as though they are just trying their best to keep the end of their bargain. He sighed and told himself to let not to let such thoughts leave so they don't end up spoiling his good day. Xavier went downstairs and was surprised that everywhere was bustling with activities, it got him wondering what the occasion was for because no one had told him about any event happening in their house. He knew it had to be his mum's preparations ; he just had to look for her to get updated on what was happening. He started going around searching for her and when he was sure that she wasn't in the house he stepped outside to look for her. He saw her in the garden instructing people how to gather some roses into the vases laid out on
Charlotte was burning with so much rage and jealousy in fact the main reason she agreed to this outing is so as to remove Xavier especially Amber out of her head.What did the universe now had to do? Being the two people out of the same restaurant she was trying to find Solace."Aaargh!"Charlotte screamed as she threw a glass out of nowhere. Thank God no one had been passing the area because the glass shattered and it's pieces flew everywhere. Her friends gasped. They didn't know what to say infact it was best to leave Charlotte alone when she's in such foul mood. A cleaner came in almost immediately to clean the pieces of glasses everywhere and in few minutes there were some guards escorting her and friends out of Gemstone. Such attitude were not permitted no matter who you were. It was a strict policy and was followed strictly also in the establishment. "I will make her pay for this embarrassment", Charlotte said,her friend's shuddered they could literally feel the hate waves
Amber looked at him and for a while she just enjoyed the view he gave when laughing. Xavier was indeed a God creation.She thought to herself. They began to eat and they both started with rice,Coleslaw and Chicken. After that they both entered the large croaker that was part of the special menu. The juice was also used to wash the food down. There were some slices of different fruits in a bowl. Xavier started putting some fruits in his mouth and Amber followed suit. They were really enjoying themselves. When Amber checked the time and saw it was a few minutes to 9pm she was really surprised that both of them had almost cleaned the plates that were placed before them initially."We really ate everything",Amber said with a look of disbelief as she looked at the table that had been packed with food a few minutes ago. Xavier just continued sipping from his glass of wine quietly as he watched Amber. They both were filled. Amber felt she wouldn't be able to move. Although ther
Amber looked at her daughter in awe of her wisdom. She knew she had to give her children answers and had to also carefully choose her words. "Well, yes mummy is going out with Uncle Xavier and as for your question Jenna I am not so sure about that yet", She said hoping to convince them. "Hmmm, I would love it if uncle Xavier is our daddy", Elena said and Amber was shocked when she saw Jenna actually nodded in affirmation although if you hadn't really looked at her well, you would have missed the fact that she nodded in agreement to her sister's words. Amber looked at Jaden. He had been quiet all through the conversation,as though he was just observing and cooking things up in his head. "What do you have to say Jaden?"Amber asked, already tired of her son's silence. "Well I don't know, I think I do like Mr Xavier but I don't want anyone taking you away from us",Jaden said finally. Amber just looked at her children and tears filled up her eyes.She was indeed blessed
