JanelleMy eyes locked in on the person at the door, my grip involuntarily loosened from the knob as I stepped backwards slowly, with dropped jaws.Even if I was woken up suddenly from my sleep, I can never forget his face, it was the guy that sedated me, the one that escaped and we have been looking for, my lips went open and shut at loss of what to say, I gently reached for my back pocket took out my phone, dialed Bella’s number my gaze still on him and placed it on my ear, she picked up on the first ring, “Bella,..” I called and before I could complete my statement I saw Adil reach out from nowhere and grabbed the phone out of my hands, he ended the call and slowly looked up at me.“Let’s talk,” he whispered, I cleared my throat and raised my brows at him, “No, we don’t negotiate with criminals!” I retorted my voice swirling with defiance as I stared at him, he just held a straight face not breaking eye contact with me also, my phone began to ring and I just knew it was Bella, I

Adil.Meanwhile"We've been entrusted with a challenging yet exciting project. This is not just about business growth; it's also about making our mark on the global stage."The conference room hummed with anticipation as I spoke, it was my first meeting as President with all heads of department under me, and I wanted them to understand that we weren’t here to joke, even if they might be time for that, I wasn’t so interested in impressing grandfather, I have the company interest at heart more, and I would do everything needed to make sure the company was alright, even if it didn’t seat well with grandfather."First, we need to identify key markets for expansion, Havilah of Development department, I need each and everyone in your department to research potential locations, considering factors such as market demand, regulatory environment, and cultural fit.”“Collate it, you know what to do with it right?!” I asked and she nodded enthusiastically in reply.“Good, We'll reconvene next

Janelle, I stared at the bouquet of red roses on my table with my hands folded across my chest, Serena had just come upstairs to drop it for me saying I got a delivery.There was a white card sticking out of it, I gently unfolded my hands and reached out for it, I grabbed it out of the flowers and opened the card. Janelle,I'm deeply sorry for the hurtful words I said yesterday, I know they were very uncalled for and caused you pain, and for that, I am truly remorseful.Please know that my actions were fueled by frustration and were in no way a reflection of how I truly feel about you, because I care about you.I understand if forgiveness is not immediate, but I hope you can find it in your heart to accept my apology. You mean everything to me, and I hate to see that I’m the cause of your hurt. I promise to work on controlling my emotions better in the future and to always treat you with the love and respect you deserve.I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and dropped the card

Janelle. “Do I cook good?!” Adil asked, I slowly turned to look at him with a snort, we were seated facing each other on the three seater couch, my legs folded infront of me on the chair, and he simply just crossed his legs, “Yeah, you got the proportion of the milk and cereal perfectly!” I replied and he bursted out laughing.“I’m sorry, I never really cooked anything,” he said and I nodded slowly, “Don’t worry, I’ll learn to cook because of you,” he added, I released a light chuckle as I gently stood up from the chair and packed up our plates to the kitchen, by the time I got back, he was already working on his laptop,“Janelle,” he called raising his head to look at me as I stepped back into the living room, “Care for a drink?!” He asked gesturing towards the bottle of wine in front of him, “I’m not quite satisfied by the cereal,” he added and I chuckled nodding slowly, “Sure,” I murmured as I made my way over to the chair and took my seat beside him, he closed his laptop s

AdilLater that day …“Have you told her?!” Eden asked, I gently looked up from my laptop at him, he was seated on a couch in my office also working on his laptop, “Told who what?!” I asked my gaze lazily returning to my laptop, “Janelle ofcourse are you pulling my legs?!” He replied, I rolled my eyes at him, “Guy you should actually get an office, your presence is becoming too frequent here,” I mumbled, he rolled his eyes at me as he slammed his laptop shut and placed it in his bag, zipping it securely shut.“I don’t need an office, I work from home, don’t pretend you don’t like my presence,” “Truth is I’m not even pretending,” I replied, he stood up from where he was seated and walked up to my desk, “What ever makes you sleep better at night!
