“Is something going on here?” Carson asked as he stepped out of his study with the tie in one hand and his briefcase in the other.“No” Marian quickly answered before Lydia could even open her mouth. Lydia looked at her with amusement dancing in her eyes. She could clearly see how the girl was looking down as she bit her lower lip. A wide smile spread on her lips, “Lydia?” Carson called with a raised brow, “Did something happen?” He asked and Marian snapped her head to look at Lydia. She could see the girl begging desperately with her eyes, making her wonder whether Carson knows the hidden feelings of his employee for him. “No, nothing” Lydia replied with a grin. When Carson opened his mouth wanting to ask more about it, she walked closer to him,“Let me help you with your tie” She took the tie from Carson and helped him knot it. As she works on it, Carson stared at her, still amused at how someone this beautiful was being maltreated by her husband. “About today…” he drawled and
The moment Lydia stepped into the car, Carson said, “Lydia, I'm not your driver. Come sit at the front”. She wanted to argue, but decided against it. She had actually saved the sit for Marian, but since Carson insisted, she made her way to the front passenger's seat. Immediately, Lydia sat on the chair and began to walk on her seat belt, Carson turned the engine on,“Huh, aren't you waiting for Marian?” She asked and Carson shook his head. “There's no time anymore I have to appear in court by 11 am” Lydia looked at the time, it was 10 am. She watched as Carson drove the car out of the compound, and Marian hasn't still shown up till they disappeared. Lydia shook her head, Marian will be really angry at her. She'll blame her, definitely. When Marian came out of the house, she sighted the car as it moved out of the compound. She saw Lydia sitting comfortably in the front passenger's seat,“Lydia, you think you can sit in the front seat as you like and ask Carson to drive off witho
“Alright, here I go,” Lydia said with a nervous smile. The car just parked in front of George's company. “Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?” Carson asked her with a tilted head. “Yes, I'll be fine. Besides, I don't want to be a burden”“You're not” Carson replied, “It's my duty as your attorney, you know” “There's no case yet, and I hope there won't be” Carson chuckled, “I have met George only twice, and it looks like I know him better than you”“Why do you say that?” She asked.“George is a proud man. He has more confidence in his money than any other thing. He will dare not agree to a woman. He will never subject” he explained. “Let's hope you are wrong since I don't want to be much of a bother,” Lydia said and Carson breathed out a small laugh “That night I found you on the bridge, I made it clear to myself and to you that I'll help you. I didn't know why, I have never helped someone who isn't family before, but when I made promises to help you, it wasn't just
Lydia let out a chuckle,“Sign the papers, George. That's the only reason I'm here”. “Are you sure?” George asked in a low voice before adding, “With the way you're dressed, I can hardly believe that didn't come for something more. Lydia, I can let all these stay in the dark, you know, we can always forget something like this ever happened”Lydia shook her head as her mind flashed back to what Carson had said earlier. She wonders if the man has the gift of seeing vision. Wanting to see what George had in mind, she asked, “So, what are you insinuating?” “Let's forget the past, tear the divorce paper, tell that fucking lawyer you don't want to go on with that plan anymore and that you have a better one” “Which is?” She asked and George grabbed her by the waist. “That you want to come back to me. That you still love me. Don't you miss how I make you feel in bed, Lydia” he asked and Lydia giggled, “Mr. George Martins,” she called as she gently stepped back from him, taking his han
Marcus, Carson's client, has not stopped thanking him since the court announced him not guilty. He had actually thought he would lose the case and be sentenced to years in prison. Not until Carson came with some solid proof that Marcus didn't do any of what he was accused of. This shut the other lawyer's mouth immediately. “Thank you so much, Attorney. I don't know what I'll do to ever repay you for this great help,” he said as he shook hands with Carson. “I'll suggest you be good and calm from now on. I mean, you literally made me a fool sometimes, don't let your mouth or pride put you in double trouble. Your anger should be checked along with how you run your mouth in public” Carson advised. The funny thing was, Marcus kept nodding his head obediently. He has seen that he was supposed to rot in jail if not for Carson. “I'll keep that in mind from now on,” Marcus said before Carson excused himself. Walking out of the building, he made his way back to the office. “Good afternoo
“How did it go with George?” “How was your case today?” Both Carson and Lydia asked simultaneously.After dinner, both Carson and Lydia decided to have a little chit-chat like the day before. They were beginning to get used to each other's company.Lydia was the first to explain all that happened with George. Carson chuckled when Lydia asked how he knows that George was going to ask her to come back to him. “Men” was the response he gave to her“Men?” She asked.“Men are moved by what they see, Lydia” he replied as he looked at her. He smiled and said, “The way you were dressed today, Lydia, you were just so different. George wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you, that's for sure”. Lydia turned to him, she had a smile on her face. “You know that's all thanks to you” she replied before adding, “I'm sorry about the court case. I thought I could prevent it”. “Trust me, I'm glad we are dragging this to court” he replied“How was your hearing in court?” She asked Carson as he si
Carson, Gary, Khloé, Lydia, and Ma'am Anny had the best weekend together. Anny and Lydia made sure to prepare good food, while Carson had a great time with Gary and Khloé, too. They watched the movies together and enjoyed each other's presence till it was Monday again.Gary didn't like Mondays because of Marian, but no matter how much he hated it, Monday will always come. Like it's doing now. Before Marian came home to dress, Lydia had taken the responsibility upon herself to make sure that they woke up early. She had woken them up as early as 6 am after she had taken her bath and dressed herself. She woke them up and took them to the bathroom. While she bathed them, Gary and Khloé laughed and played in the bathroom, making Gary really happy about the day. Lydia dressed them up for school before taking them to the dining room, where they sat waiting for their food. Since Marian doesn't dress Gary so early before, he had to eat in the car on his way to school, but now, he was earl
Marian looked at Lydia wishing she could just get rid of her very soon." Gary, be fast with your food, you will be late for school," Marian said to Gary. But Gary was too happy to see that Khloe will be going to school with him today, he was all smiling.Marian picked up Gary's bag and Lunch pack and walked outside telling the driver to get the car ready because Gary was ready to leave for school. " Come out Gary, you will be late," Marian Screamed from outside. But, Gary wasn't coming out, Marian angrily went inside to drag Gary outside. "Ma'am but Gary isn't done eating," Khleo said with pitiful eyes. She didn't like the way Marian was pulling Gary."Hush your dirty mouth and mind your business. Like Mother Like Daughter, always involved in people's business" Marian hissed at Khloe. Making Khloe frown her face while Gary on the other hand was crying. Marian pulled him outside the building but Carson and Lydia didn't notice." Driver let's go", Marian said to the driver. " Ma,
