Adams has just arrived home, he was about going to the bathroom to take a shower when his phone suddenly rang, he groaned then he frowned a little as he wondered who that could be. He first contemplated on ignoring the call and going to take his bath since he was super exhausted, but the phone kept on ringing and he ended up walking to where he kept his phone on his bed, he picked it up and was surprised to see it was his mother calling, he could already guess what she was calling him for and he would have ignored the call but knowing his mother, she's not going to give up until he answers the damn phone, and that was what he did, he sighed deeply before picking the call."Hello." Adams said grumpily."Adams, how are you son? How was your day at work?" His mother questioned, causing Adams to roll his eyes at her questions."Why don't you just cut to the chase already mother, you just interrupted me from doing something important.""You know that's no way to speak to your mother Adams.
Mrs Bridget and her friends were having a mini tea party, the trio sat in the living room laughing and discussing about everything and anything, one of the women was Bianca's mother and she was the one who organized the mini tea party just to catch up with the ladies since it's been a while they got together in such a way.Mrs Bridget phone suddenly rang, interrupting the ladies discussion, she excused herself as she fetched her phone from her purse, once she saw it was her informat calling, she smiled inwardly because she knew the job must have been completed, after all she did tell him not to waste time in getting the information she needed. She excused herself once more and went outside to take the call."Hello, tell me it's ready." She said, going straight to business mode."Yes Ma'am, I've gotten all the information you need and I'll forward them to you right now.""Good, the balance will be sent to your account, you've done a good job." She smiled."There's one more thing Ma'am.
"H..how did..." Alicia trailed off, she doesn't even know what to say.The look on Mrs Bridget face clearly shows she knows what she's here for and this isn't a coincidence or whatever, but Alicia couldn't even tell how Mrs Bridget knew she was in town and how to even find her.As she kept on staring at her, memories of the past came flooding in, how Mrs Bridget would insult her and humiliate her with every single opportunity she gets, everything she's been made to go through at her hands came rushing to her, filling her with the same pain she's tried so hard to get over.A lone tear slipped down her cheeks but she quickly wiped it off, she did promise herself that she's never going to shed a single tear for the Carter family and she's not going to break that promise now, she's no longer the old Alicia that was so full of fear and let herself to be insulted and used like a rag all for the sake of nothing! She's grown and she's obviously changed, this time she won't give anyone the opp
Bianca who has been watching the whole scene was surprised at who Mrs Bridget came to see, she recognize Alicia because Mrs Bridget had once shown her Alicia's picture, and even though she had a bit difficulty recognizing her due to the changes in her, she eventually did in the end.She hurriedly put her head down when Mrs Bridget's car drove past her and she was glad Mrs Bridget didn't take notice of her car, she must have been too pissed to even notice and Bridget saw that as a good thing.After Mrs Bridget's car left, Bianca raised her head up and sat properly, she couldn't tell what made Mrs Bridget meet with her son's ex-wife, but from the look of things, it should be beneficial to her and she was also thinking of meeting up with Alicia too, just to mark her territory and make it clear to her that she won't let her come between her and Adams, she knows her face well now, all she needs to do next is find out where she lives and that she's going to do.She stayed in her car thinkin
"I'm really sorry I didn't tell you Alicia." May apologized."CLE?" Alicia questioned, May nodded."I swear I didn't know it was Adams company at first, actually I was searching for possible companies with available position in the marketing department and I saw three companies that had good reviews, CLE happens to be one of them and the top one at that, I only took note of the reviews and me being desperate to get a job, I applied immediately and after the application I began doing more research on the companies and that was when I found out that Adams was actually the CEO of CLE, I had already submitted my application before I even knew about it and I didn't think I would get the job there too due to their high demands, I swear I was going to tell you even if you hadn't asked."Alicia smiled. "I was only kidding May, I can't believe you'll think I'll get mad because you're working at Adams company, I mean why would I want to get mad because of that, whatever happened between I and A
Adams was on a business call with one of his company investor when he heard a knock on his door, he turned to look at the door then he covered his phone with his left hand before asking the person to come in.When Adams saw it was Mike, he rolled his eyes at him before continuing his conversation with the investor.Mike didn't fail to notice how Adams rolled his eyes when he saw him, the moment he took a sit opposite Adams, he rolled his eyes back at him.He waited until Adams was done with the call before saying anything."Good morning boss.'' He greeted with a smile.Adams frowned a little bit, something wasn't right because Mike never refers to him as boss, the rat only calls him Adams."What do you want Mike?" Adams relaxed into his chair."Nothing much, just came to check up on you and also give you this.'' He placed a big brown envelope in front of Adams. "That's the research you asked me to make on the other company, apparently they're not much of a competitor so you shouldn't
The first place Adams went to was Alicia's house and he wasn't even aware that Bianca was following him. He hurriedly came down from his car and rushed to her doorstep, he rang the doorbell twice but no one came to answer it.Adams was starting to get a bit frustrated but he wasn't going to give up, he remembered the information Mike sent to him about the publishing company Alicia works with, he immediately brought out his phone from his pocket and searched for it, when he saw the name of the company, he sighed in relief, he went rushed back to his car and drove off immediately, still not aware of the fact that Bianca was still following him.When Adams arrived at Golden publishing he stayed in his car for a little while to catch his breath, he was about coming out of his car when he saw Alicia coming out of the company with a man, the man looked so familiar and as he stared at the man for sometime he finally realized who the man was. The man standing with Alicia was Ashton Kutcher,
"Are you okay Alicia?" Daniel asked, he's Alicia's publisher as well as the head of Golden publishing. He had noticed the change in Alicia's countenance when she came in and he was surprised because he'd expected her to be all smiles and happy after her discussion with Ashton Kutcher who had once worked on a script with her before and is willing to sign another contract with her again."Yes Daniel, I'm fine, why do you ask?""Because you clearly look upset, did Ashton do or say anything upsetting to you?" "Of course not.'' Alicia hurriedly replied. "You know too well that Mr Ashton is a good man, and don't mind me, I'm just tired so tired since it's been quite a long day."Daniel nodded in understanding. "True, since the meeting with Ashton is over and it turned out to be successful, you can go home now Alicia, go home and get some rest because you need it."Alicia checked her wrist watch, then she sighed. "I was hoping to pass time at the company as I wait until it's time to go pick
