“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” Tom got into the car and the secretary shu
“Ren prepare the car,” Jane said as she stood from the couch in the main living room.“Yes ma'am,” Ren said and headed out of the house to get the car ready.Jane was dressed as she stepped out of the house and headed to the car with her handbag. Ren opened the car door for her as she got into the car.“Where are we going today ma'am? ” Ren asked as he looked back at Jane.“Why don't we pay Sophia’s office a visit?” Jane said as she applied a red lipstick she brought out from her handbag on her lips. “Yes ma'am” Ren drove the car from the residence and headed to Sophia’s office. *SOPHIA’S POV* I was busy going through some files and trying to finalize all that we needed to make the launch a success when Tessa knocked and walked in.“Thank goodness you're here, please I need to go through the design team drafts once more, I can't seem to place my fingers on it but I just feel something is missing” I quickly said and was deep head into what I was going through in the files.“O
“I believe you know what I mean Henna,” Jane said this and came close to Henna.“You and I know why you are here in the Garner’s residence and you and I know what it is you have been up to,” Jane said and poked her shoulder with a finger. “I don’t quite understand you Mrs Garner….. the only reason I am here is to look out for my sister Sophia and the company” Henna refuted.Jane let out a short laugh as she took a few steps back. “Look out for your sister? Is it the same one you wanted out of the picture? Quite interesting” Jane said in a low voice. “I think we best go back to being invisible to each other, that way I wouldn’t be in the way of your plans and you wouldn’t be in the way of mine” Henna suggested, her hand clutched to her handbag as Ren’s emotionless and poker face made her nervous. “Are you sure about that?” Jane asked, her voice dominating. “What?” Henna asked.“Are you certain you are not in the way of my plans?” Jane asked. “Yes, I will carry out what I have in
Mr Tyler was seated in his study and had ended the call with Sophia as he placed the phone on the table before him.“Did she say she would come?” Henna inquired, standing right beside her Dad.“She did not say but, of course, she will be present. She must still have a bit of filial duty towards me,” he said with confidence.“I am sure she does, but not as much as I have towards you Dad,” Henna said and smiled.“Of course, that is exactly why you are my daughter” he replied and smiled too.“But what exactly are you trying to do by having Sophia attend my birthday party?” he inquired. “She has been married into the Garner family and has suddenly forgotten the exact reason why she went there in the first place,” Henna argued.“True, she seems to have forgotten….. I heard the Garner Industry would be joining the bidding competition for the new city hall” he said“That is what I heard too, if we still had our company, we might have struck a chance to join in the bidding too,” Henna said.
*BRAN’S POV* When we arrived home, I got out of the car in front of our main house while Pierre drove ahead to park the car and retire for the night. I suddenly became self-conscious of myself and didn’t want to upset Sophia with my tipsy state. I maintained composure and balance as I walked into the house and up the stairs, into the bedroom. I pulled off my suit and tie the moment I got into the room as I was feeling stuffy and hot. The only thought that crossed my mind was to head into the bathroom and have a cold shower.As I slid open the door to the bathroom, my eyes fell on Sophia, right behind the door and dressed in silky red nightwear, right above her knee, her neck, arms and legs uncovered, showing off her smooth and beautiful skin. Her hair was up in a ponytail and she looked at me with eyes that were equally surprised as mine. “Bran?” Sophia whispered, her eyes widened as she became conscious of me and herself. I said no word and just marvelled at the beauty in front
Liam and Sophia walked to a nearby cafe because Sophia was not entirely happy with the way Liam reacted.“I am sorry about earlier” He leaned forward and said, his fingers interlocked and on the table.“It's fine, I think I can understand your perspective…. It's also my fault for not telling you about that incident and I am sorry Liam, I really am” Sophia said with remorse.“How did this happen? Who is responsible for this?” worry weighed on his face as he asked.Sophia looked away for a second and looked back at Liam.“Is there something else I don't know?” Liam asked, his eyes glistened with curiosity mixed with concern.“The person responsible was arrested, but then he died a few hours after he was arrested,” Sophia said.“What? Died while in the holding cell?” Liam asked, his brows a bit higher than usual.“That is what we were told by the cops, I didn't want to tell you 'cause I didn't want you to worry,” Sophia said in a low voice.“I will always be worried when it has to do wit
