All Chapters of The Secrets Unfold : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Naomi suddenly stopped moving the papers and just stared straight into his dark, brown eyes. She really didn’t care about what he had to say, this meeting was solely about his case and she’d like to keep it that way. “Can I meet with you briefly on Friday? I need to discuss the court date if that’s okay with you.” “I’ll adjust my schedule, so that I can have a drink of coffee with you after the meeting.” He smiled cheekily, shuffling to comfort on the office chair. “I’m trying to make up for the chip on your shoulder.” “I’m going to be a bit busy. I have some unfinished papers I need to sort out for a friend of mine after our session, his name is Steve…it so happens that I’ll be meeting with him on Friday” In suddenness, Naomi’s office door opened, Grace peeking inside. “Boss just to inform you that the office will be closed on Friday, so please don’t accept or book any appointments for Friday, okay?” If Naomi could shove her shoe in her secretary’s mouth, she would. “Are you sur

Daniel looked at Naomi, not completely believing what she just said. He turned to the young lady. "I will pay for it no need to worry." Naomi glared over at him, so lost in her anger that she spat out any word that came to the tip of her tongue. "And did I ask you to pay for it? That’s what you do, and not just you but men over all; throw money on women just so you can get inside of their pants." Daniel's neutral face expression changed, his eyes twitching as he drew back his hand with the thumb drive. "You know what? I will drop this off another time because my appetite is now ruining …" He picked up his bag, walking through the exit without saying another word to Naomi. Naomi shoved her cup of coffee aside and pushed her chair back in order to get out of it. Towards the door she then stomped, bumping right back into Daniel. "Sorry." She grumbled out, stepping out of his way. Daniel let out a breath of irritation. “The pessimist...? why did you have to insult her like that?" "D

Daniel turned with a reluctant look. “That won’t be necessary.It would be much better if you steer your car and let Mark tow my car.”Before Stacy could say another word, Mark interrupted. “I think that’s a good idea because you know your car better than us.”With a frown on her face, Stacy walked over to her car. “Okay, no problem.”Daniel looked between them both, “Come on, let’s get cracking…remember I have to go to the hospital to pick up Naomi.”Mark gestured towards Daniel with his chin. “I can do that for you if you’d like?”“I would indeed love that, but it is better if I go.”Desperate to see Naomi again, Mark sighed. “Can I come with you?”“Why Mark? For what reason?”“I already told yo~”“Can we just go, I thought we were in a rush.” Stacy interrupted.Mark sighed, getting started with situating the car on his tow truck. When he deemed himself done, he cracked down his window from the inside and says… “I’m all set, we can go now.”The scrobbling sound of the truck starting

A minute after Nurse Williams placed the sphygmomanometer around Naomi’s upper arm, it beeped, and she noticed that her patient’s blood pressure was still high. “Your pressure is high.It’s 190/100, we need to continue to keep you on observation before it gets out of control.”That wasn’t what Naomi wanted to hear, but bad luck seemed to be what was out for her today. “What is the normal rate?”“It’s supposed to be like 120/80. Your systolic is like 70 unit up and your diastolic is 20 units higher. Please, I need you to get some rest, try not to think about anything, and when I say nothing, I mean nothing, okay?”Naomi nodded indolently. “I will try my best. I need to get out of here too because I have a lot of work at the office to take care of.”“And if I may ask, what type of job do you do?”“I am a Lawyer.” Naomi answer.Mrs. Williams looked back at Daniel, her eyes squinting as thoughts ran through her head.Is this the lawyer on Daniel’s case? And if so, what brought her to the

Daniel slid his finger across his phone screen, turning off the alarm he had set beforehand. His eyes drifted around the room as he sat up, already buried in deep anticipation. He’d be meeting Naomi today again and his excitement was more prominent than ever before.Shuffling out of bed, he walked to his bathroom. Today, he needed to look different in her eyes, something simple but attractive.She seemed like the type of person interested in men that smells good and dresses in the proper attire and today he’d do just that.Daniel brushed his teeth first, took a shower and then stood in front of the mirror for fifteen minutes, styling his hair. When he deemed himself done, he stepped out of the bathroom, got dressed in his finest suit, then threw an apron over himself and began cooking what she had requested of him yesterday.As soon as everything was ready, he headed out, reaching the hospital in no time. He was early, but better early than late!He checked in, carrying a scandal with
