She walked to the kitchen; once she had dropped the things she brought on the counter, she went back to on her answering machine and played for any messages in her absence.
'Hello, this is Amber Page, I am busy right now, leave a message.' She heard before she turned her attention to the gorceries on the counter, she began to unpack.
'Hey, babe. Just called to say Hi.......I missed you; can we have lunch tomorrow.....call me.' She heard; Jake sounded like he needed something.
'Hey, Babe, this is your best friend; the client said the shipping won't be this week, he said next month..... I was upset when I heard; that man likes procrastinating...... I hope you are having a relaxing weekend..... enjoy, see you on Monday.' Cassie's voice ended; he sure likes procrastinating.... about a relaxing weekend.....so far it has been heated. When......
She stopped her thinking as she hears her sister's voice.
'I don't know where you went, what is keeping you so l
He smiled at the priest as he called he and the god mother to stand by the child and her mother and he was happy, when he held Amber's hand; he missed touching her, feeling her skin and he could see from where he stood the dark color she had placed on her lashes, and her brows were curved perfectly; he could smell her vanilla perfume;The divorce was all she cared about; he thought as they moved apart.She wanted to divorce him; was she pregnant with Jake's child or was he proposing to marry her?He had asked for them to talk; but he didn't want to just talk. ..he had spoken to Maxwell and he has helped him figured out how to reach her but now, he just didn't know.He had said they should talk about the divorce he didn't want. ....Yes, he had an idea.If she wanted to divorce, she just have to show him that she didn't need him and he knew exactly what to do.He smiled at the ladies that looked his way. He still had effect on the ladies
Smiling he entered the kitchen. He was feeling joyous; the day was going to end well, he had good vibes about it.'Where is that young man that was with you?' He heard Mrs Pade asked.Nicholas knew who she was talking about. He smiled as he moved to the tray of fruits on the kitchen table. 'He went to take a shower.'She nod her head to him. 'Go sit in the living room, we will serve the food.'He took a bite from the Apple he picked deliberately avoiding the look Amber gave him. He looked directly at his mother-in-law. 'Let me help.'She looked at him smiling and then nodded her head. He held his apple in his hand. 'What do I do?'She smiled at him; 'First, did you finish your work in the study?'Nicholas nod his head.She smiled again. 'First, tell me, how does this taste?' She told him as she placed a half full soup of the porridge, she blew on it first before putting it into his mouth.After few seconds, he gave her a th
She sighed as she entered her office, immediately she sat; Lucy knocked and entered.'Good morning, ma.''Morning, Lucy. What about the T.K transport company?' She turned on her computer.'Ma'am, I have been tried to get appointment but the Secretary says her manager is not available right now but I will check again.'Amber looked at the lady; sometimes she could be unreliable and most times she was a dedicated secretary. She looked at Lucy; she had called Lucy on Saturday to tell her to confirm the appointment with the transportation company and she must have put aside everything else to do the task; even though she didn't get the appointment.'How was your weekend, Lucy?'Lucy stared at her for a second, not totally understanding the reason for the question. 'It was fine ma.'There were good days and bad days; bad days; her boss didn't give her any sympathy or show any concern but the good days.......... This was one of the good days; a
She met him waiting for her by the front door. The Grand palace was not far from her office; a walk would be 20 minutes, a drive at ten and the restaurant was a few miles from her house by foot; there wasn't so much distance.He smiled at her as she approached him. But she didn't fail to notice the way a woman looked at her when she walked passed.She couldn't stop herself. 'Is there a particular dress code for place like this?She wasn't looking bad. She didn't change from her office clothes, so what?He smiled as he moved close to her; he was glad she didn't argue with him over the phone or turn him down, maybe she was excited as he was.'You are fine. You look perfect.' He said as he put his hand at the small of her back and begun guiding her into the Grand palace; she entered the restaurant, the lady at the front wanted to say something but seeing Nicholas with her, shut her up and he walked passed her and walked into the restaurant
The hallway was dirty; when she walked in before the elevator closed behind her. She looked at her secretary, who came in after her.'Good morning ma.' She greeted.This wasn't really a good morning, look at this place and at 8, when the woman was supposed to resume at 7.'What is the meaning of this, Lucy?'She looked at her boss; confused and then Amber pointed to the hall way, she looked at it and looked away.If Cassie had been here before her, she would have begun shouting.'Sorry, ma.' She said getting to her desk about to call someone; just then the cleaner came in from the elevator; a middle aged woman; she bowed her head as she got off the elevator and hurried past her before Amber could say anything.She just shook her head and walked to her office and closed the door after her; sometimes some of her employees forgot their place; just because she became familiar with them.She had work to take care of before her meeting.
She frowned as the door opened and Jake showed his face.She sighed and went back to her work.After last night; she had sent him a message instead of calling; she didn't feel like hearing from him; that was why she didn't call in the first place.Now, he was here; doing what?When Lucy had told her; he was here; she had wanted to tell him, I am not available right now but instead she thought; that would give him a reason to question her, he would ask her about Nicholas that was totally irrelevant and to show him she is completely cool after what he said last night; she had to see him; show him; who was more rational in this relationship.'Hey, Babe.' He said as he walked through the large room to meet her desk.She gave him a lazy smile. 'Hey, Jake.' She wasn't a good mood to talk to him right now.He sat on the visitor's chair; and looked at the documents on the table in front of her and a pen, cup of coffee by it.'Are you almost
Cassie, are you serious right now?' She asked as Cassie picked her up from the airport.Truth! She had been totally bored for a week, attending meetings and attending shows, her father told her to visit her uncle while she was there and she had called Cassie before she slept off last night to be at the airport to pick her up at 12 when her plane landed.She won't lie that she didn't enjoy the short visit to her aunt's school which she owned and her cousins were excited to see her but she couldn't lie that she didn't miss home and Skype.And she just heard from her friend that she was pregnant! Wow.'Cassie, are you serious?' She smiled half laughing.She looked at her friend as she drove.'Does Maxwell know?' She asked her.Cassie blushed. 'Yes,.'Why did she think that; he wouldn't know, of course Maxwell would know, he knows everything about Cassie.'How long are you?''Three weeks now.'Amber shrieked, looking at he
She felt mentally weak and her spirits low, she had not slept the previous night except thinking about Nicholas and Jake, Nicholas' kiss, the way she responded to him.She hit her forehead with her left hand and she sank in her seat. Why did she even kiss him? She had told him to stop kissing her and instead of her to push him away, she embraces him only to be enveloped, smeared and blessed with his lips, she forbade herself from giving into, from the same lips she promised herself not to kiss because of her relationship with Jake.God! How can she deal with this?And her feelings for him has surfaced and and this time in thousand folds overriding the one she felt for Jake.She is still in love with Nicholas Mitchell; her husband who left her and was back.She had told him; she agreed to his terms; he would do anything to win her back, by performing his marital roles, and giving her the time to spend with Jake, isn't it infidelity? Apparently the only o
