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
Savannah stared at Andy and the red haired lady that were still hugging themselves, she moved a little closer inquisitively to see the lady's face clearer. The lady looked nothing like Andy to be considered as his sister, or maybe she was his girlfriend.“Well it's none of my business.'' She said within her and shrugged her shoulders lightly before she made her way to the dining area.She looked at the food and bent her head slowly with a smile on her face, then she closed her eyes and sniffed in the inviting aroma. Without wasting any more time, she began to eat.“Savannah, I won't be staying here tonight, so if you need anything, tell me so that I can do it before I leave.” Grace said with a smile as she looked at how Savannah was eating.“I don't need anything, you can go, and thanks for asking.” Savannah replied without meeting her gaze as she kept eating. She was a little embarrassed to hear Grace's voice because she didn't even realize that she was standing in front of her.“Alr
It took Andy by surprise. He didn't understand what just happened, he held her firmly in his hands then carried her into one of the guest rooms downstairs, not having the strength to take her upstairs.After keeping her on the bed, he took the duvet and covered her, he used the back of his palm to check her temperature and withdrew his hand immediately because her skin was burning.Andy stood up and rushed into his room to bring the thermometer. As he walked down the stairs, he felt guilt wash over him, he couldn't believe she's suffering even though she's in his house.To him, he failed to keep his word to her, he neglected her, and now she looks so pale and has lost a lot of weight compared to when she wasn't in his house.He raised her arm and placed the Mercury thermometer in her armpit and brought it out to see the result and almost gasped in shock, it was thirty-nine degrees. He didn't know the best thing to do, so he took his phone and dialed the doctor's number.“Hello, I need
