“We should do this again next weekend,” Tom chipped in. His hands slid right around her waist, and she let out a faint smile.

“Mr Garner, you can't seem to take your hands off me,” she said seductively while she fiddled with the golf club.

“I must say you have me smitten, Selena” Tom laughed and handed over his golf club to his caddie.

“The usual location?” Selena asked as she handed over her golf club to her caddie and walked towards the exit.

“Of course”

“I will be waiting,” Selena said and winked at Tom before getting into the car that arrived to pick her up. They drove off.

Tom’s secretary rushed over to his side with a bottle of water and a handkerchief.

“What is the next thing on my schedule?” Tom said as he collected the towel, wiped his sweat, opened the water and drank.

“You have to meet with the committee created for the New City Hall bidding competition” he reported as he opened the car door.

“Oh right, the bidding competition”

    *BRAN’S POV*I stood there, surprised and baffled at the same time about what Liam said about Sophia. I couldn’t help but ponder what he meant by those words. But deep down, I knew that there was something Sophia was still keeping from me. I didn’t want to poke around so I don’t trigger her, with hopes that she will come around and tell me. ********************************************************************Liam left the front of the hall and followed the path his secretary followed, and met up with him at the parking lot. “I am sorry, sir…… I lost him,” the secretary said as he bowed his head in disappointment.Liam sighed as he looked around, quite displeased that his secretary had lost the young man. “It’s fine… let’s go,” Liam said and walked out of the parking lot, followed by his secretary.They both got to the car, got in and drove off. *BRAN’S POV*I still stood by the entrance when my phone rang; it was a call from Pierre.“I have him, sir,” Pierre said over the phone.

    Just as I was about to elaborate more on the brand, a jarring crackle ripped through the sound system, and the crowd collectively gasped.My eyebrows furrowed as the large LED screen behind me which was displaying close-up images of my designs flickered. The beautiful imagery of my Collections has been replaced with warped, random, and nonsensical images, and the background music is discordant and off-key. I stood there frozen’ my heart beating as though it was beating against my rib cage. Bran stood the moment the issue started and called out to the technicians to have it fixed immediately. People in the audience exchanged confused glances, while some laughed nervously and others looked increasingly uncomfortable. The technical team rushed towards the stage, their faces filled with a mix of confusion and growing alarm as they tried to fix the problem. Bran walked up to the stage where I stood and led me off the stage gently to a seat, and then he went back up to the stage.“We a

    I was lost in thoughts and questions when a notification popped up on my phone. It was a message from Tessa telling me about the finalization of the banners for the launch later today. I picked up my phone and replied to the message.The new design launch is today, and my father’s birthday party is in three days. Maybe this is how things were supposed to turn out for me. I had planned to take back my father’s company, but now I am the one running it. I had planned to get married to Bran, make him love me wholeheartedly and then divorce him after a year as revenge for what I went through six years ago. But these past few days, I can’t seem to understand myself. Sometimes, I feel drawn to him, and my initial plans tend to recede from my mind. I suddenly heard a faint thud, and it seemed to come from the kitchen. I turned around to the direction of the kitchen and wondered what could have made such a sound. Mrs Reeves wouldn’t be in the kitchen at a time like this cause it’s already

    Ren drove Jane to a private and reputable bar to keep her reputation intact. After a couple of minutes in the bar, Jane had been gulping down a couple of glasses of drink while Ren stood by her side, worried and concerned. She ordered another set and was about to gulp it down when Ren reached out and stopped her as he held her hand. “I think that’s enough for tonight,” Ren said, his eyes fixated on Jane.Jane looked at Ren and then removed her hand gently so she wouldn’t hurt herself in the process.“What? You also won't let me do what I want in peace?” She asked and turned back to her drink. “Of course not, ma’am,” Ren said and took a few steps back. Jane gulped the glass of drink and after placing the glass back on the counter, she stood from her seat, her stance not balanced, as Ren immediately reached out and held her in place.“Let me help you to the car,” Ren said and led her out of the car after he paid the bill for the drink.Ren finally led Jane into the car and drove he

    *SOPHIA’S POV*The ringing and vibration from my phone called back my attention as I reached into my pocket for it and picked up the call, it was a call from Liam. “Hi,” I said as I walked away from where Tessa stood and towards the exit of the hall.“Hey, Sophia,” Liam said over the phone.“How have you been? I am sorry I haven't been in touch for a while now” I apologized. “No it's fine, I know you've been occupied with your new design launch and taking over your father's company,” Liam said.“Yeah, it's just been quite a lot,” I said.“I know right…… Quite a lot that you didn't tell me there was an accident on your way to the meeting” Liam said. “That—that came as a shock to me as well…… I still have not been able to process what exactly happened that day” I said.“Why do you say that? It must have been indeed quite a shock” Liam said.I suddenly remembered how Bran suggested and ordered Pierre to find any link or traces to the accident without attracting any attention. “It's n

    *BRAN’S POV*Pierre walked into my office right after he knocked. I was already on my feet, so I grabbed my long brown coat and tried to wear it out as I walked towards the door.“Did you say she has been waiting?” I asked Pierre as he opened the door for me. “Yes sir, the appointment time was set to 2 pm sir. This is 10 minutes past 2 pm sir” Pierre said as he held the door until I walked out and he followed shortly after.Pierre drove me to a restaurant, a few blocks away from the company building and I immediately stepped in the moment I got down from the car.I searched for Mrs Brown’s daughter when I entered the restaurant and finally found her seated by the window, a couple of seats further from the entrance.I immediately walked up to her as she was lost in her thoughts.“Hi, I am very sorry that I arrived late,” I said as I took off my coat and sat right opposite her. “No no, it’s fine sir……I also just got here” she said calmly. “What would you like to have?” I asked her.“
