All Chapters of More Than A Business Deal: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The anger that poured through my veins was hot and boiling and it felt like lava from an active volcano as it burned through my entire being. I started to put the pieces together now aware of why he had tensed up when I said I wouldn’t know anyone here. He was aware that she would be here and I couldn’t help but also wonder if that is why he was being so sweet to me all day. He was trying to appease me in advance because he knew I would be upset when I finally saw her here today. I know I had no control over where she went and I could not tell her not to attend the dinner but it would have been nice to get a heads-up so I could be prepared for the emotional trauma I was going through right now. Okay, maybe I am being a little over dramatic but I had the right to be and besides overreacting seems just right at this moment. I would have ignored her and pushed my anger down if I had not caught sight of the diamond necklace sitting pretty on her neck. I mean I would not have been ang

The feeling that I am being watched is now with me constantly and it made me feel like I was going crazy. It’s been one week since the first incident and now I feel like that all the time and it was frustrating because I never see whoever I thought was watching me. I was on my way out of the gallery when I finally saw someone. He wasn’t dressed like they do in those cliche movies where they were dressed in all black and also wearing a suspicious ball cap. This man whose eyes I met was not a man but rather a young adult who would be around the same age as me. He was startled to have been caught and he quickly darted his eyes away and pulled out his phone from his pocket to make it seem like he wasn't watching me but it was too late. I had seen him already. Quickly, I tugged on Nathan’s shirt in a hurry to get his attention before he could walk away from me. “What is it?” He asked worriedly when he saw the panicked look on my face. ‘There’s someone across the street watching me.

Danielle decided to see me off so we were both standing in front of her house as we waited for my car to come pick me up so I could go home. We spent time talking about so many things that we didn’t realize it had gotten so late until Justin called and said he was on his way to pick me up since it had gotten so late and Atticus was already home waiting for me. I was so shocked that I pulled my phone from my ears to take a good look at the time and sure enough it was quarter past eight. We were hurdled up in Danielle's room so we didn’t know it had gotten so dark outside. I scrambled from the bed in shock and began to curse at how I lost track of time while Danielle just sat there laughing at me as I hurriedly packed my shit and fixed my hair and face. “It was so good to see you. I promise I will find some time to come see you once my schedule is free and we can have a redo of today” She promised when we saw my car heading towards us. I gave her another hug “I hope it’s soon. I h

The house was bustling with activities. I was running around trying to make sure everything was in place. AXE Construction has just completed its biggest project ever. It was 57 storeys apart from the penthouse apartment skyscraper in the middle of the city and we were going to be moving into the penthouse. I loved this place and I didn’t want to move but there was no way to stop Atticus because he was very excited and proud of that place. The penthouse was very big and spacious. It was a really really spacious house and it had ten bedrooms which goes far to show how massive it was. There were four bedrooms for the staff on the lower floor of the penthouse and the remaining six on the upper floor. The master bedroom was at the end of the hallway and it was the largest bedroom in the penthouse. The bedroom was all I needed to see to know that I was definitely moving in there. Since we were on the top floor, I had an unobstructed view of the city and it was the most magnificent sight.

It’s been three weeks since we moved in here and I was well adjusted to the environment. I had such good luck since my neighbours were such nice and warm people and not the snobbish type I was expecting. I even made some friends with the women on the floor below ours. Jennifer, Sandy and Ria were such amazing women and I enjoyed spending so much time with them even though they were significantly older than I was but that didn’t matter to them so I didn’t let it bother me one bit. I was setting up the balcony because I had a lunch date with them to thank them for helping me out yesterday during the opening of my gallery. After such a hectic time, I finally got the courage to go back and complete it and we finally opened yesterday thanks to their help and Danielle. I had not been spending much time with Danielle since she was currently out of the country so I was spending my time with them instead. Atticus made sure I wouldn’t stay cooped up in my new studio at home and always c
