Alec's POV I didn't understand why she still sat here till now. I was really losing my cool, wasn't I?"Tell me, why are you still here?" I said to her. She was sipping a glass of wine she had ordered a maid to make for her."Well, we were only discussing how to take action. On our little plan together.""Don't mention this in public, you'll only just end up humiliating yourself..okay?"She smacked her lips in frustration. "Why do you really have to be so cruel like this? I'm doing everything now and..." She held herself from saying more and ended it with a deep breath in. "Leave my house now, Linda." "It's Paulina! Paulina!""Whatever. Just leave already." I got up and was ready to head to my room. "If you're not gone in the next ten seconds, I'll hit up the security's number to come drag you out. We wouldn't want that now, would we?""Fine fine. Let me tell you my main reason for coming here." She blurted out. I motioned she went on, but I doubted that real reason would interest
Alec's POV "What? That's not possible!" Paulina flared out."I already chose him!" Then she turned to the instructor and yelled out again. "I already chose him."The man heaved in a sigh. Meghan was still there smiling even. What game was she planning now? "Well, do you chose her?" He said to me. What else could I say? "Yes." I responded. Paulina looked like she would explode. "Really? We're supposed to be a team and yet you chose her?? Why!""He's choosing the best partner for the project, no offense." Meghan said with a bright smile on her face. Why was she so happy?I checked my phone again to confirm if what I'd just read was real. Thomas Frank, one of our major investors just made a public comment he might withdraw his investment? That means Meghan was pulling strings of her own too."Well it's settled then," the instructor said. "More information will be passed tomorrow on what to do." The class came to an end at last. I quickly headed out, waiting for Meghan to come outsid
Meghan's POV Our argument ended with Jade storming out, but he said he would be back to drop me off. I made it clear to him I had no intention of going anywhere with Adrian, and just said that so he would leave.He had made a bold statement too. He claimed I didn't know everything about Adrian and he would make me see his true color, I wondered what he meant by that.It hadn't been long when Jade went out that the doctor came to call me. "Your grandpa has woken up." He said, leading me to the ward.Excitement filled my body as I walked, nearly running behind the doctor. Once we arrived, he turned and gave us some space. "Is your husband still around, miss? I'll let him know you're here." He said with such straight face. I only had the time to give a head nod. Who was he referring to though? Jade of Adrian? Probably Jade--"My child, I'm awake at last. I heard I'd been unconscious for hours now, keeping you all worried. I'm sorry for that," I didn't let him finish before running to
Meghan's POV"You're joking, aren't you? You did stuttered!" Jade said back, eyes glaring wildly at Adrian. He looked so angry that I panicked."Jade, it's fine." I managed to say, then turned to Adrian. "I don't think I'm feeling any good to go on a date. We're still waiting for grandpa to wake up." It was an effort to talk so nicely like that because I noticed my palm was almost a raging fist.Why did he talk like that? Who'd want to go to any date right now with him!"You guys panic a lot, jumping into conclusion." Adrian smiled to himself. When we didn't smile back, he felt offended. "Well, I'm going to solve this case of yours. It's simple. " He was flashing his teeth now.My brows arched. "What are you saying, Adrian?""I'm going to withdraw my own share from Dexton. Clearly it was that dumb ex husband of yours who did this, am I right?" He brought out his phone and began scrolling through it. "I did write it down here somewhere. That Alex guy is your ex husband, isn't he--"I c
The article was unbelievable! "They say I begged the bank for a loan?? It's a small bank and we've had history with them, but beg for a loan? If grandpa wasn't asleep right now, I would have asked him. He'd just laugh."I was busy packing around. This was after one hour since jade had showed the news to me. My grandpa was fine now after a minor surgery, and he's going to recover. He had to. He was asleep now after getting pain relief that made him weak.Jade never left my side, and I was grateful for that."I can't believe this, honestly. It's too much. You know why I'm even boiling right now? That son of a bitch--""--hey hey, angry bird. Slow down," he said, calming me down. Or at least I'll say he tried to calm me down."He said my family is in debt, I'm begging loan from banks." I repeated again, trying to make it make sense to my ears. "It was partly true. I know the Wesbank manager and it's not the first time we're asking for a loan from them. But who don't lend money from bank
"Come with me, careful Meghan." Jade did not let go of my hand as we walked towards the back door. My eyes was just scanning the lobby for the so called manager.A blond haired slender lady on really high heels walked towards us, she moved with incredible pacing for wearing such heels like that. "Hola guapo," she said with such a beautiful smile. I took that for flirting, and guapo?? That meant handsome, did it not?Jade looked too relaxed, he was used to her smiling and throwing herself at him like that!"Hey Bella." He said casually, then took the bag from her. I realized she hadn't joined us empty handed. "What are these?""Blonde wig, a mustache for you, workshop coat for you both," She said.Jade threw the wig to me while he fixed his mustache. The manager assisted Jade leaving me to fight for myself with the wig. "What do you mean reporters are here?" Jade asked her."I'll explain later, you need to leave now. You're both headed to where?" She asked, "should I give them a locat
