After looking at his screen to confirm that he had called Elena's number, Kyle took the phone back to his ear and asked, "Your mommy, is she Elena?" George said, "No! That's not my mummy's name." At this point, Elena, who had overheard George's voice, rushed out of the bathroom with only a towel on and snatched the phone from him. When she saw that the call was from Kyle, she quickly ended it and blocked his number."What do you think you're doing?" she yelled at George. "Why did you pick up the phone? Why did you answer the call that was meant for me? Did I ask you to do that?" George stared at her in surprise as she never yelled at him that way.He pouted and went to sit on the bed without saying anything in reply.When the call was disconnected, Kyle tried to call back, but he was told that the number had been blocked. He kept trying and finally gave up. Elena sat down as well and stared at George, who was sitting on the bed sulking and felt bad about the way she had spoken to
Kyle shook his head and got up."No, Elena, I don't think you're a fool," he said. "I haven't been able to forget you. That is the truth. I spent the past six years regretting my actions. After I left you back then, I came to realize how much you meant to me. I so badly wanted to go back for you, but I felt I had nothing to offer. So I traveled to Afghanistan and ventured into a risky deal, and it paid off.After that, I came back for you. It wasn't even up to a month after I left when I came back for you and looked everywhere. I went to your home, but your stepmom told me you got pregnant and she kicked you out. Were you really pregnant?"Elena became startled. She had not thought of the possibility that Kyle would have heard about her pregnancy. She quickly came up with something else, "Yes! That's another reason why I would never forgive you. All thanks to you, I lost my very first child!""I... I am sorry!" Kyle said."Sorry? What can your sorry do?" Elena asked. "Kyle, your sor
When Elena got home, she saw that her granny was already back from work. She was surprised that she got back so early."Oh, I see you're back," her granny said."Where have you been?""I just went out to take care of something," Elena replied."I'm sorry I used your car. I haven't picked up mine yet. I want to go out and pick it up from Elen Global.""Forget about that," her granny said. "There's something more important we need to talk about.""Okay," Elena replied and went to sit beside her.Her granny began, "Well, I had a meeting with the members of the board as I told you. It didn't go as I expected."Hearing her words, Elena's heart skipped because she knew that if her granny's company did not take her, then she needed to search for another company to do her internship."Relax," her granny said. "In the end, I am still the founder of the company.Well, the board of directors did not agree. They had thought that I'll leave the company in the care of one of them because I had earl
Kyle drove over to Josa and Co, hoping that he would be offered the opportunity to collaborate with the company, so he could get closer to Elena. However, when he arrived, he was surprised to see Elena stepping out of her car. She looked exhausted, with slumped shoulders and weary steps. As he observed her, he realized that she now worked there. A smile spread across his face, "How fortunate can I be?" He couldn't help but keep his gaze fixed on her as she made her way toward the company's entrance."Oh, my beautiful Elena," he murmured to himself. Eventually, he emerged from his car and called out her name. Elena, who was about to enter, heard his voice and paused. She turned around and saw Kyle approaching her. Rolling her eyes, she muttered, "I don't have time for this.""Hey, Elena," he said, closing the distance between them. "Don't you ever get tired? What do you want? Don't tell me you followed me all the way to this company after what I told you yesterday." Elena snapped.
After the board meeting, Elena happily went back home and told her granny about the sequence of events, and she was shocked."Wow! So, in the end, Mr. Kyle Bennett came through for you?" Her granny asked.Elena sighed, "Well, I guess he did... But that changes nothing."Her granny smiled, "At the very least, his appearance was timely. Those board members were out to eat you alive. It's a good thing you have Jones by your side to guide you."Elena nodded, "Yes! He's such a nice man. Thank you so much! I know without your coaching and guidance, I wouldn't have accomplished even half of what I did today.""It's okay, you have done well. Why not go in and freshen up, so we can have dinner together?" her granny suggested.As she went in, her granny sighed. She wanted to tell Elena that the fact Kyle reached out to help was a good sign, but then she decided to let it go. She wanted Elena to be happy and wanted her to figure things out for herself.When Elena walked into the room and sat tir
In the morning, Elena was woken up by her alarm. She had spent the most part of her night preparing for her speech, and now she could recite it by heart. She smiled, feeling proud of herself, and went to see her granny. After greeting her, she began to tell her about the speech and what she had prepared to say.Her Granny listened to her and smiled, "I'm so proud of you. I know this is all new territory for you, both the way you're carrying it and the seriousness you show makes me very happy. I'm really proud of you.""But of course, I cannot let you down.....not after you've invested so much in me," Elena replied."No, you cannot!" Her granny said happily.At this point, Elena heard a knock on the door and excused herself. She went out and realized that a package had been sent to her. She signed for it and took it to her room.When she opened the box, she was surprised to see that it was a gift from Kyle. It was a long, beautiful red dress which she knew was in fashion because she h
Elena closed her office early because she wanted to get ready for the party. She went shopping for a gown for herself. She did not want to wear the one Kyle had given her, and she didn't want to buy anything that resembled what he bought. So she found a peach-colored gown. After going into the changing room to try it on, she stared at herself in the mirror and smiled. "I look good enough," she said. The gown hugged her body, accentuating her curves, and it was just right for her.She went back home, freshened up, and began to get ready for the party. She thought about the speech she was going to give as the words were still in the back of her mind. She recited them in her heart while she got ready. After freshening up and putting on her dress, she tied her hair in a bun, applied some makeup with red lipstick, and added blush to her cheeks. After looking at her face in the mirror, she shook her head, "No, this will attract too much attention." She ran into the bathroom, wiped off
Kyle was hoping that by dancing with Mara, he'd get the chance to swap places with Chad and dance with Elena. However, the moment he got on the dance floor with Mara, Elena, and Chad stopped dancing and went to stand and watch.Kyle struggled to contain his frustration while Elena stared at him and Mara as they danced. She suddenly realized that Mara was holding Kyle too closely, and they looked too intimate. Chad, however, wasn't bothered by this as he knew Mara not only loved him but was obsessed with him.He began to converse with others around, but Elena's eyes were fixed on Kyle and Mara as they both danced and conversed with each other. At this point, Mr. Jones, who was standing in a corner, gave a glass of drink to a waiter and said, "Here, take it to the beautiful lady over there and give it to her."He gave the waiter some money, and the latter smiled and took the drink straight to Elena. Without thinking twice, Elena, who was surprised that she was being affected by what wa
