Elsa's POV

Every curious face turned in my direction and I felt embarrassed. Mr Cooper laughed hysterically covering up his outburst. I could tell that he was embarrassed too. He had called my name which sounded unprofessional.

“I just thought Miss Williams might be indecisive, their diverse dishes here can be confusing.”

He added without addressing anyone in particular because no one actually questioned him. I locked eyes with Jarvis, and I could tell he was displeased, but he remained expressionless.

“Thank you Mr Cooper, I have found a suitable dish already, I pointed to the least expensive strange food on the menu page I had turned.”

He nodded in affirmation, and the attendant collected the menu from me. I was glad we had successfully passed that awkward situation, until another one turned up and I cursed myself inwardly for shunning Mr Cooper’s offer.

The attendant dropped a plate of the exquisite trashy food I had ordered in front of me just as they served others. It didn't loo

  • Stuck Between Identical Twin Billionaires    Chapter 91: What I Meant Wrong

    Jarvis’s POV I kept smiling like a total idiot as I drove on, I turned to my side and noticed my father looking at me. He had insisted I drove him to the apartment complex where I live as he has something to discuss with Mr Patrick Williams.He could have taken his own car. Why must I be his driver?“It seems you have been totally hyponized.” Father said nonchalantly as he focused on his phone. I didn’t mind his words. I was just that enthusiastic practically because my friend Caleb told me he was finally engaged, they got a matching ring and partly because I finally got my relationship with Elsa acknowledged by my father.I pulled up to a stop in front of the apartment building but father kept his gaze on me so I reluctantly drove into the car garage.

    Jethro’s POV Was father out of his mind?I sat there listening attentively to the trash he kept sprouting out of his mind wondering what the hell had happened to my ferocious sane minded father? Jarvis on the other hand was beaming with excitement, thanking father for his support.“What the heck! Gbamm!”I banged the table suddenly, and both of them turned to face me. The effect of my actions was evident on their pale faces, they hadn’t expected it probably because I barely disagree with father.“Dad, why are you consenting to his relationship with that lowlife girl all of a sudden?”“How dare you Jethro!”“Banging the table in front of dad is bad, brother.”I could feel father trying hard to hide his anger, after all I took after him a lot. I knew something must definitely be wrong, was my father suffering from a terminal disease?I stood up abruptly not caring about what was going to happen. I had always calmed my nerves whenever I remember that my credit card was at stake but righ

She was beaming with excitement that I could tell everything was true, father had acknowledged us.A cab came to an abrupt stop in front of the apartment complex and Elsa rushed over to it. I looked up at Mr Williams and shame filled me up. I had been anxious since Elsa told me about his surprise visit, and more surprisingly my father’s interest in him.After he was laid off back then, I had caught father on the phone once trying to locate him, but I couldn’t be sure of whatever was going on between them. I hid my shaking hand behind me and forced my body to move towards their direction.He had alighted and the cab driver had switched on the ignition of the car to leave as I made my way to them.“Mr Williams, it is a pleasure to have you here.” I said pleasantly.“Mr Davidson, the pleasure is mine.”I didn’t know what else to say, it was all so awkward. When I was younger, Mr Williams

    Mr Patrick’s POVI rubbed my eyes for the upmteenth time as Elsa walked towards me, seeing her gave me enthusiasm, but that didn’t make me surprised as I had reached out to her first about half an hour ago to inform her about my surprise visit, what actually left me agape was the man that came along with her.My former boss Mr Jake Davidson!He alighted from the car right after Elsa did, and my heart thumped loudly in my chest. I held tighter my luggage as the memory of the last moment we parted surfaced in my mind, I had to hold in the anger brewing in me,Not because he deserves my honor, but because I didn’t sense any hostility between him and Elsa, the opposite of what I had earlier predicted. They walked up to me where I was seated, my knees weren't what they used to be, so I couldn’t stand longer like the youngsters around me, so I had to take a seat.As they approached, I shifted in my seat in a bid to stand up, despite the harsh flashback in my mind, my body had long been cond
