MIRABEL“What’s going on? What are you both looking at?” I asked Beauty and Josh as I joined them on the table for lunch. Beauty looked at me like she was scrutinizing me while going back and forth with her phone.“They look so much alike.” Beauty remarked.“Who?” I asked, looking at them frantically.“I think that’s his wife.” Josh replied.“Whose wife?” I sounded more confused than ever.“But isn’t he supposed to be married to Miriam?” Beauty questioned.Upon the mention of Miriam, I became curious to know about who it was that they were talking about because the only Miriam that I know is the girlfriend of Giveon who I haven’t seen for a while now.“What’s happening?” I asked again.“What’s happening is the CEO attended the birthday party of the billionaire Isaac Harrison and was seen with a woman. Sadly the only picture I can find of her is when she was leaving the party with him and we cannot see her face and she looks like you or maybe it’s just me.”I felt my heart skip when s
MIRABEL“I promise you another time Bee. I have to spend time with my mom today.” I lied to her.It’s my grandpa’s birthday today and I couldn't tell her. “Alright. It’s fine. Have a nice day.” She said before ending the call. I sighed deeply.“Are you ready?” Miranda asked. “Yes.” I replied.She assisted me with zipping my dress up. I had to suck my belly in so that she’s able to zip the dress up. It was the two of us that went shopping two days ago for this dress. The moment I saw the dress, I fell in love with it and got it without having to check for other dresses. It was a mini elegant lace dress. It was in the colour royal blue and it complimented my skin so well. I walked towards the standing mirror to take a look at myself and I couldn't help but fall in love with myself. “You look stunning my darling.” Miranda complimented.“Thank you.”Miranda had helped style my hair in a sophisticated updo adorned with floral accents to go with my look. I walked back to the bed to put
MIRABEL“Welcome Giveon.” My mom said to Giveon as she shook his hands.The weekend came sooner than expected after that moment at his office. We haven’t spoken to each other since then and I’ve been trying my best not to see him.I even had to come over to my grandpa's mansion before him because I didn’t want to ride in the same space as him.“It’s nice to meet you finally.” Giveon said to my mom.“I wouldn't say the same until I get to know you for a little while.” My mother replied honestly.That was just who she was. She would never mince her words or try to please anyone.My eyes met with Giveon for a nanosecond and I looked away from wanting to speak to him. I didn’t want my mom to know about the issues between us at the same time because the last time I spoke to her about him, I said some pretty good words and now I wish I didn’t because he doesn’t deserve it.We made our way to the garden that was already set because he was coming. My grandpa showed up some minutes later.“Giv
MIRABELAfter lunch, I made my way over to Giveon’s office. The message he sent earlier was for me to go to his office after lunch.I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to discuss because it was the first time he’d call me over to his office. I didn’t immediately though as I had to inform Michael first before making my way over to his office. “I’m here to see the CEO. He asked me to come. Is he in?” I informed Dave.“He had a guest right now. But you can wait.” Dave replied.“Alright.” I said before making myself comfortable on the spare seat. I didn’t realize that I was going to miss this place that much until I came here. It was still the same way I was but has a more masculine touch now.I watched as Dave worked on his computer, he clearly knew what he was doing and it was beautiful to see. I waited a couple more minutes and was starting to get bored.If he knew that he wasn’t found to be available then he could have asked me to come at an available time.I felt the need t
MIRABEL“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to shut you off like that but I wasn’t in the best frame of mind hence the reason for my actions. Please forgive me.” I said the seconds we settled on the table after ordering our food. “I will only forgive you if you tell me what’s going on.” Beauty replied. “You know although we are friends, I feel like there’s a lot about you I don’t know and trust me when I say it’s not that I have an issue with your personality and I get that people can be different from one another but I feel like you do it intentionally.”“It’s like you don’t want me to know. It’s not because you don’t like to share but because you believe it’s best if I don’t know.” “I don’t want to make it seem like I’m pressuring you to tell me things that you don’t want to tell me yet but you cannot call me your best friend if you can’t trust me with anything. I get that I play too much and talk too much but you can also trust me to help you. What’s going on Mira?” I fel
MIRABELI felt bad after what happened last evening at the mall. I didn’t intend to speak to Beauty like that and I promised myself to apologize to her immediately we see.I knew if she was in my shoes, she would have told me about it but I shut her out not because I had to but because I didn’t know how to tell her my life without exposing some part of me. “Get in.” Giveon said, holding the door to his car for me.“What?” I sounded surprised because since I started working at the Sales department, I haven’t gone to work with him and there was no reason for me to be in the same car as him.“Have you forgotten?” I tried reminding him of the fact he doesn’t want anyone to know about our relationship.“Just get into the car.” He replied curtly, not leaving me any room for arguments.I obeyed, for into the car and the driver began to drive. When we were a few buildings before the company building, I spoke up. “Can you please drop me here?” “What do you mean?” Giveon asked. “Keep driving.
