She looked at his face and was pleased to see how shocked he was to see her there. She held onto his suit tightly, not letting it go at all.
“What the hell are you doing? What is the meaning of this?” He asked with anger while staring daggers at her.
“I won't let you go! You have to listen to what I want to tell you, if not I promise to create an embarrassing scene here” Savannah looked around her and observed that everyone was trying to mind their business by diverting their gaze to something else.
“Are you perhaps insane?!” Andy was irked already, even though he didn't mean to yell, he couldn't help himself. “Okay, let's go upstairs and talk like two mature adults''
He squinted his eyebrows while staring at her. Savannah slowly released his suit and he sighed in relief, then shook his head slightly while climbing the stairs.
He walked towards the elevator and waited for her to stand beside him, then pressed the button for the sixth floor, which is the VIP area of his restaurant. None of them said a word to each other until they arrived at their destination, he tried to fathom what exactly she wanted to discuss with him, but he couldn't.
Placing his hand on the door behind the door knob, it opened in an instance. Savannah was astounded and flabbergasted on the sight she just witnessed but tried her best to hide that from him.
He walked into the room and she followed suit without being asked. Andy sat down on the couch in the big room which looked nothing like a room to Savannah, the magnificence of the room made her gasp for breath ; it was like she was living in a dream Land.
The floor and walls were all made with white marble, the bed was colossal,her eyes traveled to the curtains and a broad smile took over her lips.
“My usual and make it fast.” Andy said to someone over the line with his phone placed firmly on his right ear. His voice pulled her out of her reverie and she looked at Andy as he stood up, heading to a bar in his room, he came back later with a bottle of drink and two glasses.
He placed the glasses on the table and then poured the drink into the two glasses. “Have a seat.” He said and sat back on the sofa while waiting for her to do the same.
“I don't mind standing.” She said and folded her hands below her chest.
“I would rather ask you to sit down and have something to eat first, then we can calmly talk about your reason for coming to my restaurant.”
He offered with his eyes fixated on her, he couldn't deny the fact that Savannah was really a beautiful lady, he found himself admiring her.
“Thank you, but I don't have the whole day for this, I have other things to do.” She rolled her eyes at him, she wanted to say her reason for coming over here as her heart was already palpitating rapidly.
“Okay, if you insist.” He replied while relaxing on the couch, after a few seconds, when she still didn't say a word, he arched his eyebrows at her. Savannah cleared her throat, trying to sound as bold and confident as she had planned with Lucy, she didn't intend to sound nervous at all.
“Look Andy, I ain't asking you to marry me nor do I ask you to have a commitment to me, all I want is for you to take care of the child after it's born, and I will leave your life with the assurance that you will take care of our child.”
Savannah was relieved after saying those words, it felt as though a burden had been lifted from her.
“Is this your reason for coming all the way to my restaurant?” He asked her with a light chuckle.
“Yes, that's my reason.” She answered slowly as she felt her confidence slipping out of her control, she felt her heart shattering into a myriad of pieces yet again, she didn't want to believe that this man in front of her was about to reject and deny her for the second time.
Her boldness and confidence were slipping from her already, but she decided to act strong for her baby at least.
“Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't do that. The baby you are carrying isn't mine, how can I accept the child when I am sure I ain't the father.” He said, while scrutinizing her face keenly, trying to see her reaction.
“You can…” He was still talking when a knock on the door made him swallow his words. He took a remote which was laying on the table and pressed a button and the door opened.
A waitress walked in with a tray filled with appetizing, anyone who perceives its alluring aroma would begin to salivate, but Savannah didn't even spare a glance at the food on the tray. Andy's words were like a pang in her heart.
Moreover, the waiter left, leaving the both of them to themselves again. Savannah built up her shattering courage and decided to use her last strategy on him.
“Andy, I will report this to the media if you don't do something about this, I don't think I have to tell you in detail about the consequences of this being leaked to the media, remember you have a lot to lose.”
She dropped the bombshell, and his reaction was undoubtedly what she had anticipated. Andy's hands were tied, he didn't know what to say or do, his reputation was everything to him. It wasn't at all that easy for him to build such an unstained reputation for years, and he couldn't let her ruin everything he built.
He sighed deeply and rubbed his temple with his eyes closed. He has to come up with a solid solution to this problem for now. Opening his eyes, he fixed his gaze on her for a few seconds before saying, “Move in with me.”
That was the only solution he could come up with.
Savannah did not see that coming, she looked at him intensely to see if he was perhaps joking, but it was useless looking at him because his expression was unfathomable.“What? Are… you serious?” She shuttered with bewilderment.“What else did you want, Huh?” Andy asked with an angry tone. Seriously, he was exhausted of this whole thing. If only if he foresaw having an encounter with her, he would never have made the mistake of coming there.He used his index finger and rubbed his temple because he was starting to feel a headache.“I just asked if you're serious and nothing more” Savannah retorted as she folded her two hands on her chest and stared at him.Andy looked at her before saying, “I am serious, move in with me so that I can watch you closely.If I find out that the child is mine, I will accept it, but otherwise, I will deal with you. “Andy spoke without breaking eye contact with her.“Are you sure about your decision? How am I certain that you won't change your mind tomorrow
Savannah didn't know what to do, she wasn't thinking straight as she ran out of the house. All attempts by her friend to call her back were abortive as she ran quickly. Reaching at the roadside, she stopped a taxi and entered inside it before telling the driver the location of the hospital.She didn't know that she was crying until she felt a salty taste in her lips but that was the least of her worries.Immediately the driver stopped at the hospital, she ran out after paying him and made her way into the hospital.She noticed that some people were staring at her but she didn't care as she ran quickly into the elevator that was crowded with people. She really wished to push the elevator faster so that it could be faster.She was so anxious, she bit her lower lip to stop more tears from flowing down but it was effortless as more tears slipped down her cheeks.Immediately, the elevator opened, she ran to her brother's ward and saw a doctor and nurses running inside it.Out of impulse, s
Lucy stared at Savannah, she wanted to say something when the waiter came and dropped their food on the table and left.“Let's eat.” Savannah said to Lucy with a smile before she picked up her cutleries and started eating.They both ate silently, in the middle of their food, they heard someone call out to Savannah, and they turned abruptly and saw a lady waving at them. She was in her hospital gown and looked very pale.“Hey.” She greeted with great enthusiasm when she reached where they were.“Hey.” Savannah greeted with an awkward smile because she couldn't quite recall where they met.“Don't you remember me? I am Sandra, your colleague at the restaurant.” She explained with a little disappointment in her voice as she sat down in one of the vacant seats beside Savannah.“Oh, Sandra, how have you been? I apologize for not remembering you earlier, I had a lot on my mind.”Savannah responded and took a sip of her juice before keeping it back on the table.“No problem, are you still work
She looked out of the car window and smiled at Lucy, who was still waving at her with a bitter smile. Even when the driver drove off, she kept turning her head to get a glimpse of her friend who was still waving at the moving car, after a while, she turned back to the road with teary eyes as Lucy was no longer in sight.The drive to his place was peaceful as it gave her the opportunity to think about her life, which was about to take a new turn for two possibilities;the better or the worst. She didn't even realize that they'd arrived until the driver came down from the car and opened the car door for her.“Oh! Thank you.”She said while walking out of the car.He brought out her belongings which were in the car truck and helped her carry it into the house. She followed him closely like a little puppy until she heard a feminine voice that startled her.“Good morning Miss, my name is Grace, nice to meet you.”The lady in her mid-forties said, with her hands stretched for a handshake.“Nic
Andy kept scrolling through his tablet as his driver drove the car, he was on the passenger's side of the car and his mind was solely on whatever he was reading.“Sir, we are here.” His driver said as he opened the car door for him to step out.He took his suitcase which was lying behind him and walked out of the car still holding his tablet in his hands, he made his way into his company, and his employees slightly bowed to him in greetings. When he entered into his private elevator, he began to scroll through his tablet again, going through his schedule for the day which his assistant sent to him.The elevator opened and he walked into his office. The minute he sat in his swivel chair, he heard a knock and sighed in annoyance as he knew that it must be his secretary.Nevertheless, he mumbled a come in and the door clicked open, revealing a young lady in her late twenties. She wore a pink suit which made it look very professional. She flashed him a beautiful smile, but he buried his
Andy didn't know the best way to react to what Harry told him. It all sounded like a joke to him, but then he knew that Harry wouldn't be joking about something like that. He cleared his throat, not knowing what to say.“How did it happen?” He managed to ask.“Mr. Jason emailed you through your official line, he said he couldn't get through to you.” Harry replied as he began to scroll through the tablet in his hands.Andy brought out his personal phone from his pants pocket and saw that it was still in an airplane mood, which he had set it last night to avoid being disturbed.“Here.” Harry said as he stretched his hands to show him the message on the screen of his tablet.“Harry, do you think whoever kidnapped her knows her status or is this just for money.” He asked Harry while ruffling his hair.“We aren't sure yet until we investigate properly.” He responded and began to go through his tablet again.Andy's phone rang, and he picked it up immediately, he saw it's Mr. Jason Cherry's
Andy stared at nothingness after the call was disconnected, he only continued with the discussion because he wanted Harry to find the exact location of the place. He observed that the people that kidnapped Cherry weren't professionals at all because Harry was able to track them down in not less than five minutes.That only implies that they might not have been sent by business rivals of Mr. Jason's, if that had been the case, they could have requested that he back off from a particular business deal or give them a certain document. He was glad that it was just for the money.He took his phone and dialed Jason's number, he knew how much the man loved his daughter and wishes to protect her. His wife died while giving birth to her, and he named her after her mother. She had an elder brother who died in an airplane crash ten years back, and since then, Andy took it upon himself to be her big brother.“Hello, they called and asked me to bring ten billion dollars, you know how…” He was stil
Savannah walked towards the dining area without sparing Andy another glance. She suddenly became angry, her life feels so much like a mess. He meant well by offering to call over the doctor, but yet, she felt like he was beginning to see her life as his property simply because she's living under his roof.He looked at her with anger, he hated the fact that she defiled his words, he felt embarrassed. He didn't bother going to the dining area, he just walked out of the house and made his way to where his driver was already waiting for him.Moreover, Savannah lost her appetite entirely and she could hardly take five spoons of the food in front of her. She stood up and helped Grace to clear the table, though Grace tried to persuade her to eat some more, but she refused.As she was walking out of the house, she heard her name and turned to see Grace running towards her.“Take this food flakes, you can eat when you feel like.”She said while giving her the flakes.“Thanks so much for your co
