Adrian had made plans for a dinner date with his friend later in the evening, and Lillian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and curiosity about the evening ahead.Sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, Nancy, the new guard Adrian had hired, spoke up. "There's a little bit of traffic ahead, Ma'am. We might be reaching a little late," she said, her voice filled with sincere concern.Lillian sighed softly, acknowledging the situation. "Alright," she replied, leaning back on the car seat. As the car slowly made its way through the congested streets, Lillian's mind began to wander, replaying the conversation she had with her grandpa earlier that morning.Her grandpa was a wise and kind-hearted man, always ready to offer guidance and support. Their conversations were filled with cherished memories
Pacing up and down in her lavishly decorated room, Tasha couldn't seem to get the hang of what she just heard. Her normally composed and haughty demeanor was replaced by ravaging beast with a mix anger and entitlement.Looking up, she glared at the maid, Helen, her voice dripping with condescension. "When did you hear all this, Helen?Helen, a middle-aged woman with a weathered face, looked at Tasha's beautiful but distorted face, her eyes avoiding direct contact. She bowed her head, a gesture of submission. "Young Miss, I overheard the conversation while cleaning the room next to the study. I didn't mean to intrude."Tasha's voice rose hysterically, her entitlement and manipulative nature taking center stage. "How dare she! She's only been back for what? Two days? And now grandpa wants her to take over the company? This is unacceptable!"Helen's hands trembled slightly, but she maintained her composure. She knew better than to engage in a confrontation with Tasha. Instead, she chos

The foyer was adorned with exquisite artwork and a grand chandelier that cast an elegant glow over the space.Walking further into the condo, Lillian came face to face with a woman who seemed to be in her forties. She was meticulously cleaning the plush couch, her focused expression softening as she noticed the unexpected visitors.The clinking of heels alerted the woman cleaning. "Who are you?" Lillian inquired, her tone polite but assertive."Good day ma, My name is Caroline. I've been working here for two years now," Caroline greeted with a warm smile, her eyes reflecting genuine hospitality."Alright, I'll be in my room," Lillian replied, her voice composed as she began to
Can you get something to wear?" Lillian asked her ears red from embarrassment."Why, like what you see? Or are you affected?" He asked winking."Whatever can you just put something on?" Lillian asked not acknowledging his question."Alrt, I'll be right back." He left her and went to to the closet.Few minutes later he came out the closet dressed in a grey pant and black Tee. Be looked casual yet breathtaking."How was your your visit home?" Adrian asked trying make himself comfortable on the bed."Good, grandpa was really excited to see me."Lillian said smiling as she talk about the old man."Hmm, that was expected." He said briefly.After some minutes of silence, Lillian said."I'll be resuming head office on Monday, grandfather decided already"" That was fast" Adrian didn't seem too happy by the development, he knew how hungry extended family could get and he knew the danger Lillian is being exposed to. Lillian knew what he was thinking she shook her head and held his face in her
How have you been Sarah" Lillian asked not minding the sarcastic reply she received. "I've been good" Sarah gave a short reply. Lillian knew Sarah was vexed about whatever had happened 3years ago and she wouldn't blame her for expressing herself in this manner. "Sarah, am sorry. I just needed to be alone for sometime I just needed my peace to gather my thought." Lillian "You know, I thought we were sisters. I thought we moved past the friends kind of relationship. But NO you never took me as your sister. Because if yh did you wouldn't have left like you did." She paused seeing that she's was getting emotional. "You wouldn't hide from me, you wouldn't wait so long to talk to me again Lillian," she continued tear rolling down her beautiful face. Lillian couldn't stop the tear that slipped down her face, she moved to her and hugged her. Lillian's heart sank as she saw the pain reflected in Sarah's eyes. Taking a deep breath, she reached out and gently touched Sarah's hand.

"Last time I checked you guys didn't even want to hear each others name""Things happen" Lillian said and shrugged."They really do" Tyler muttered still in shock as he took a seat beside Adrian. Adrian, "I'll pour you wine, since am in a good mood today" "Cheers to you guys" Tyler raised his wine poured by Adrian still shocked tho"Cheers" both Lillian and Adrian said. After taking a sip Tyler looked at the empty seat beside him. "Still expecting someone?" Lillian looked at Adrian, waiting for an answer. She couldn't get him to say who was coming.
