Chapter Ninety

After an hour and a half of sitting inside the car, Rose got to Christopher's office building. She got down and walked into the building. A lot of people who saw her were surprised. They knew that their boss was already a married man and seeing his wife walking in with a bag that obviously looks like a lunch bag made them all jealous. "Good morning ma!"

"Good morning ma'am," different employees greeted as Rose walked in.

Rose nodded her head in acknowledgment of their greeting and walked to the reception. "Hi," she greeted the receptionist who was just staring at Rose.

"Am so sorry ma, good morning." The receptionist greeted her as she came out of her daze.

"Good morning, I am here to see your boss," Rose said.

"Take the elevator to the twelfth floor. That's where his office is." The receptionist answered.

"Thank you," Rose said and walked towards the direction that the receptionist pointed at. When she got to the elevator. She pressed the button and was waiting for the door to open when another person walked up to her.

"Good morning ma'am, please follow me." He said when he got to Rose.

"Follow you where?" Rose asked.

"To the boss's private elevator. The boss asked me to lead you, ma'am." The person who had walked up to Rose said respectfully.

"Oh, thank you," Rose said and followed him. She already suspected that he would have a private elevator just like she had one in the mall. They took the elevator and went up.

When the door opened, Christopher was standing there and waiting for Rose. He was in a meeting when he was told that Rose was in the building. He didn't even bother talking to the people in the room with him. He just walked out. After he had walked out. They asked the person who came to whisper into Christopher's ear what he had said. "What happened? What did you tell the boss that made him run out like that?" One person voiced out what everybody wanted to ask.

"I just told him that the boss lady is on her way up." The messenger answered.

"Are you for real?" Another person exclaimed.

"What are we still doing here?! Quick!!!Let's follow him!!" Another person suggested and they all rushed out to follow Christopher.

When the elevator opened, they all stood behind Christopher and that was the sight that Rose saw when the door opened. She was surprised by the sight.

Christopher was happily waiting for Rose to come out of the elevator. He was surprised when he heard that she was in the building. She didn't tell him that she would come to see him. When the elevator arrived and Rose was still standing inside, he walked up to her and pulled her out. Immediately she was out of the elevator, he held her in his arms. After pulling out of the hug, he asked. "What are you doing here? You never told me you will be coming here."

"I brought you lunch," Rose said and raised the lunch box she was holding. "If you are busy then I will just go back home."

"Who is busy?? I have been In the office doing nothing since I got here." Christopher said quickly. Everyone who was standing behind him was surprised. Why will he say he wasn't busy? They have been briefing him for over four hours and they haven't gone halfway.

"Are you sure?" Rose asked.

"Mmmm, I told you to allow me to stay at home with you but you refused. I have been idle since I got here. U was doing absolutely nothing! Just sitting in the office." He complained.

"Okay," Rose answered. "Who are those people standing behind you?" She whispered to him.

Christopher turned to look who she was talking about and saw that it was the people he was having a meeting with. He had forgotten all about them when he heard that his wife had come to see him. "Oh, they wanted to welcome you themselves," Christopher answered with a smile and looked at them meaningfully.

"Yes!!"

"That's true"

"We wanted to welcome you here since it's your first time." They all spoke at the same time.

Rose was surprised by their answer and answered them politely. "Thank you all but you shouldn't have."

"Don't bother yourself about that. They wanted to welcome you and it's normal. Let's go into my office." Christopher said and pulled Rose away from their midst.

Most of them had one thought in their mind. Is the meeting adjourned? Will the boss get angry at them for following him? While they were still confused as to what the outcome will be, Christopher and Rose got to his office. When Rose walked inside, she was surprised by what she saw. On the wall was a picture of her. It was so big. In the picture, she was looking at the camera and had a smile on her face. Rose couldn't remember taking such a picture. She turned to Christopher and asked. "When was this picture taken?"

"Two years ago," Christopher answered.

"Two years ago? I don't remember taking this picture but from the looks of it, I was looking at the camera." Rose said.

"You didn't pose for the picture. I was just lucky that you looked at the camera. When the picture was sent to me, I loved it instantly. I have so many pictures of you and Princess. Would you like me to show them to you?" Christopher asked.

"I'd like to see them but not now. You need to eat." Rose said and turned away from the picture. What she saw was more surprising. On the walls were pictures of her and Princess. On the table was also a framed picture of the three of them together. It was the picture that he had put in their office at home. Looking at all the things in the office, Rose felt happiness in her heart. For years, she had been scared of what will happen when Christopher found her. While she was living in fear, she didn't know that Christopher was watching her every move but didn't come for her. She felt finally at peace.

"Okay, what did my beautiful wife cook?" Christopher asked as he took a seat on the couch in the office.

Rose placed the bag on the table and took out the food. "I wanted to make a simple meal so, I prepared fried rice. I hope you like it." She said as she set the table and gave him the spoon.

"I know I will love It even if it's water that you serve me," Christopher said happily.

"Okay then, start eating," Rose said and sat beside him. Her heart was very happy with all that he had said and she was glad she had come.

"What about you? Aren't you eating?" Christopher asked seeing that she just sat beside him.

"No, I brought this food just for you," Rose answered.

"How can that be? I want you to eat with me. That way it will be sweeter and I will love it more." Christopher said. "Okay, I know what to do. Wait here." He added and stood up. He went through a door In his office and when he came back, he was holding another spoon. He gave it to her and said. "Let's eat together."

Rose collected the spoon from him with a smile. Christopher sat down and they started to eat. "Mmmm, this is delicious.!!" Christopher said with a smile when he tasted the food. "Why doll that you cook taste sweeter and better?" He asked Rose.

"You should stop flattering me. I am not as good as you make me out to be." Rose answered shyly. With her expression, one could see that she was very happy. She had put in an effort to make that food.

"This is the truth.! Your food tastes better every time I taste it. I am so blessed to have you.!" Christopher said and continued to eat happily. What he didn't say was that eating from the same plate as she made it better. He was so happy he wanted to brag about it to someone. He took out his phone and took a picture of the food.

"What are you doing?" Rose asked as she saw him take a picture of the food.

"I am sending this to Uzo. I want him to see that I am very lucky." Christopher said. He sent the picture to Uzo with the message 'my wife is the best. She brought me lunch!!' He typed and sent it. After a few minutes, he got a reply From Uzo.

"This is wickedness bro!!!" Uzo replied.

Christopher smiled happily at his reaction and continued to eat. Rose was surprised by his action. Is this the person that is being ranked as the richest young man? She wondered but with a smile on her face. They both ate the food with happiness. Rose wanted to go back home after they had finished eating but, Christopher pleaded with her to stay. After some persuasion, Rose decided to stay with him so that they could go back home together.
