Aiden walked closer to her and said as he looked at her, “And who said there will be a next time?”“Well…call Dad, and he'll let you know,” Summer quickly said, trying to retain her stay.“What do you mean that I should call Dad? Dad isn't the one living here, you know? If you want to come stay at my house, you should tell me first!”Summer scoffed, “So now, it's your house. Now that you are married, your sister needs to take permission from you now while that…s..”“Watch your mouth, Summer. If I were you, I would think well before uttering any other word because if you say something degrading about my wife, I wouldn't hesitate to throw you out!” Aiden shouted, cautioning her as he figured she was about to go nuts.Summer sniffled a sob, “So, you are choosing your wife over me. Just over my good intentions of coming to know your wife.”“Jesus! Come off it,” Aiden scoffed, he got closer to her and stared deep into her eyes as he spat out, “You and I know very well what you came here fo
“Just shut it, look at her very closely now and next time you let her in,” Summer shouted, shutting the lady up.“Yes, Ma.” She replied as she watched them pass and enter the office.As they walked through the corridors leading to Aiden's office, their shoes clank on the floor making a rhythmic sound as they walked on.“So, how do you plan to do it?” Amira asked, still curious about how her friend intended to get her the job and eventually closer to Aiden.“Hmm…” Summer smiled as she took a stop a few meters away from a door, “Actually, I haven't told him at all but I've already gotten permission from my father and he can't go against him.”When they left the receptionist's place, they took the elevator, got to the corridors, and walked for a while until they were only a few meters away from his office.Amira's heart couldn't help but tremble as she stared at the door and yet her friend's confident expression gave her a little bit of courage.“Are you sure?” She asked again as she was
Aiden's mansionThe house was bubbling but most especially the kitchen. When she was leaving, Summer had announced to the servants that she'd be bringing her friend over for dinner and so, in the evening they were busy preparing the food and Summer was in the sitting room playing music.Marina came out of her room and walked down the stairs. She had been waiting for Aiden to get back from work so that she could discuss the issue of opening a store with him.In regards to that, she had also been up all day browsing the internet to decide her niche. She was thinking of selling clothes and accessories for both males and females but still thinking otherwise. That would require huge money and perhaps if Aiden was interested in her doing it, he would lend her the money.As she got to the sitting room, she went straight to the kitchen to check what they were doing as a lot of noise than usual was coming from there.“Good evening, madam” the maids all greeted as they sighted her.“Dinner wil
As she sat down there, all she could see and think in her mind was the fact that her husband was a demiGod and so desirable. More reasons to be cautious of Amira because one thing is never enough for her.“Huh?” Aiden said, tilting his head to face her properly, “I'm afraid I didn't catch that.”A blush instantly appeared on Marina's cheeks as she realized what she had just done. How could she have done that, thoughts as such swirled in her mind as she stared at his face?“I have something to discuss with you, hope you are not busy?” She finally composed herself and said, trying to know whether he was in a position to listen to her or not.“Sure, I am. Just say what you want and don’t bother about my work. I already decided to put everything aside for now,” he responded, giving her the go-ahead to say what was on her mind.“Alright…” Marina said though that wasn’t what she intended to say, but decided against it. At first, she had thought of pestering him about why he was not busy ton
As Aiden saw how distressed she looked about the situation, he held her hand and brought her to sit back on the spot she stood up from. He placed a hand on her shoulder as he stared into her eyes, he assured her with the most assuring words, “Amira is but a bee with no sting and you know what bees with no sting do, they do nothing.”“I…thank you for your understanding, Amira..” Marina was about to start explaining the reasons for her behaviors when he cut her.“No, you don’t need to explain about this. Don’t worry, I understand. Can I get my bath now?” He asked as he teased at the end that he had wanted to enter the bathroom before she stopped him.“Yes, sorry,” Marina said with a small smile. She was secretly happy that she bagged a good man.Aiden entered the bathroom when he was sure that they were done with their discussion and Marina was left in the room to do her things.She stared at the black card he gave her and with a pen and book in hand, she started getting her plans writ
Amira entered the office to meet Aiden's frowning face.“Are you done with your vacation or do you need more days to further enhance your enjoyment?” He asked, a foul smile playing on his lips.“I…I'm sorry, Sir. It was the traffic,” she tried to explain herself but was cut short by Aiden's next words.“And was it the ink you put on your lips that caused the traffic or the paint on your face? I'm curious, make me understand how the traffic started.” He asked, staring at her keenly as if he wanted to eat her whole.If Marina finding fault in her wasn't enough to make him angry with her, her coming late to work and looking as if she was about to go catch a man was more than enough.If anything Aiden didn't like it, he didn't like it if someone didn't take work important and that was what Amira was displaying to him.Amira was at a loss for words and she just blabbered on, not making sense with her sentence, “I…it. w..a..actually…”Aiden had to cut her off with a wave of his hand, puttin
“That's sad, sorry about that,” Marina said as she comforted her, rubbing her hand against her back.“When do you want to purchase it? We can start getting all the necessary documents ready now.” She said as she finally raised her head, stifling her sobs. ‘It is surely something hard to part,’ Marina thought as she saw how distressed Marie looked. She looked at George and her heart was wavering and she was about to talk when George held her back as he spoke up.“Marie, we came here just to check it out and we have some other places that we still have to check but surely your store will be on our mind,” George said as he stepped forward to take over the discussion.“Oh…” Marie cleaned her face and then apologized as she realized how desperate she was, “I’m sorry if I caused you any stress.”“It’s okay, I’ll surely put you in mind,” Marina assured her as she stared at her with a caring gaze.Soon, they ended their discussion and left the store. They entered the car back and George drov
Aiden’s office, Amira’s section.“Now, I want a staff meeting with everyone on this team,” Amira said as soon as she returned to the office.Her face was furious as she dropped the piles of documents on the table. After instructing all of them to a meeting, a chair and table were placed in the center of the room which she sat on and the rest of the staff found a way to lay their bums on their seats too.Amira placed her hand on one of the files and held it as she called out, “Miss. Claire, come here and take hold of your rubbish.” She said, not caring about being rude or not.The lady bearing Claire came out with slow steps with her head bowed and collected the file from Amira. She glanced through it and saw the many errors the President had made in her submission.“The president told me that we must make these files easy for him to go through before he can accept it and everything must be done before noon. It means that if we don’t finish it, we can’t go home.” he relayed the message
