The night is almost gone, so they just work all through the early mornings, when it's six, Gregory and Craig, have already groomed to go meet with an investor, and Whitney walks in on them. "Are you going out?" "Yes, we have an investor to meet this morning, there is food in the dining.""I can't stay alone in this place." "Don't worry, there is security down outside and Mr. Beck will be checking on you from time to time." "I will go with you." "But...""It will not take long I will be out." Gregory hadn't replied to her, so she hurried inside, Craig looked at Gregory, they wanted to leave before she came out. "I am out already, I am fast right?" Gregory nodded, she rushed into the kitchen, she just got some pack. "Let me pack the food so you can eat on our way." They both watch as she packs the food in a hurry. "Shall we?" "Let me help you carry it." Whitney was surprised when Craig offered to help her, she was a bit scared of Craig but he looked simple. "Thank you." Ian drive
"You even said you are my driver but that didn't change her mind." Ian laughed. "You shouldn't be laughing with this man, he wants to take your job." "If Whitney didn't save me, I would have been a dead man and this boss of mine doesn't want to help""Why should I help you when you are taking my friend away from me?" "You Know that is not true, no one can replace you in my heart." Whitney drags Gregory's chin. "Is there still food?" Craig asked. "Sure, you can have it." Whitney hand him the food. "you are a princess" "Call me Princess again?" "Don't worry, your..." "Craig stop it." He didn't say a word, as he ate, Whitney's mouth fell open when she saw the message from Cathy, she had not been able to go through the message before. "Craig thank you." Gregory and Craig look at each other, if Gregory and Craig didn't understand each other, there would have been issues between them, the way Whitney praised him. "For what?" "Cathy told me how you saved her." "Do she tell you every
"Where is Whitney?" "She left with Gregory, they said they need to get something from your local market." "Oh!" She stands to leave. "Are you leaving me here?" Craig asked, she sit not a word came from Craig to her, he kept looking at her, too many things flashed through his mind, one was to make her his woman and never let any other man come near, he wanted to pull her on his legs right there and now, run his hand all over her body but he can't. "Why are you staring at me like that?" "Ahem!" He clears his throat. "Sorry, I will wait outside." "No, sit, Whitney will feel bad if I let you stand under the sun, because you are, her best friend cousin." He sits, and another long silence goes on. "Do you live abroad?" She had noticed that everything about him looked special, so she felt that he could only live abroad. "No!" "Here at county C in Marvel City?" "No!" "Then where do you live?" "Do you want to go with me?" she shakes her head. "I will be going for my chamber attachme
"Greg, I want more drink." "Here, have a drink." He gave her water, and she tasted it and spat right on Gregory's face. "I need spirit not water." She throws up, and Gregory feels like vomiting as well he runs out of his car and throws up, he is relieved. "God! This is crazy." He drives back to the condominium, Craig is taking care of Cathy, and she throws up on him. "Dammit! What is wrong with you?" He talks to the sleeping Cathy, changing his wears, he pushes her head when he returns, and he also changes Cathy's, he is working on a file when Gregory returns with drunk Whitney, he shakes his head, Gregory puts her to sleep and return to Craig"Why are you here?" "Was I supposed to be in there with her?" Gregory smile. "Why do they have so much pain, their life is..." They heard a sound like something hit the ground. "What was that?" Craig asked him."I don't know, is it not from your room?" Rushing towards the room, Craig pushed Gregory forward, "Go on and open it." Gregory sha
"Hey, you going out?" "Yes, Whitney is inside, she is waiting for you." "Where are you going?" Cathy looks at him, he has the same authority as Craig but he doesn't look hard like Craig. "As in...""I want to see a friend." Gregory stared at her wanting more details of the type of friend. "It's a girl, Grace to be specific." She takes a girl's name but that does not make Gregory's mood change, he had heard a lot about Grace, and he just doesn't want Grace around this little thing his cousin is interested in"Go on, you should be careful." "I will, Whitney is waiting for you." She walks away, and Gregory enters the apartment. "I was about to call you." "I am here now, I saw Cathy going out." "Oh! She is going to meet Grace, I would have gone with her but, I am waiting for you, let me get dressed so we can go to the club." Gregory frowns, and she looks at him. "Do you want to go to the club?" She nodded, he gulped his saliva, and he wiped his face. "You don't want to go?" "When d
"Just say yes." "Are you Okay? Do you have wings or you are a witch that can fly? Wait, who do you want to fly with?" "Is not me, the both of us, Greg, wants us to go with him on a private jet." "I don't want to, I don't want someone looking down on me, like his charity, You can go with him, that way we will save cost." "So I am a burden to you." Whitney pouts, and the next thing tears drop from her eyes. "Did I say something wrong?""I know you will get tired of me because I am wasting your brother's money I am your charity case also." Her tears drop more. "No, that is not what I meant, I just want us to save cost." Whitney's tears keep coming. "Shit! Fine, we two are charity cases, can you stop I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." She tries touching Whitney but she pulls away. "Don't touch me.""Stop crying, what do you want me to do to make you stop crying." She didn't look at her. "Anything, I will do it..." Whitney wanted to tell her to come with them but she was call
"Cathy, you should not take Grace to heart, she is just acting up." Whitney said to comfort Cathy. "Everyone had fun at one point in time," Gregory added to make it light but Grace is like a time bomb"That wasn't fun, it's childish." Grace would admit, she had never ridden on that type of car before nor flown a private jet but she had her pride to keep, hearing those words from Grace's mouth, Craig wanted to slap his hand across her face but Gregory had given him a deadly look, he sighed badly, Grace notice, she doesn't want to be a bad girl"Come on Cathy, you know I like to say rubbish, you shouldn't take it to heart.""Let's fly now," Gregory said, Whitney just sat close to him and wrapped her hand around him. "Just let me stay in your hands, I am scared." Gregory smiled, that is what he wanted, to breathe the same air as herGrace didn't waste time sitting close to Craig, she acting like she was scared of heights, she had flown a plane before but not on a private jet, Craig hate
Craig noticed that Cathy could barely eat anything, the dining was silent, that is how the two eat when they are alone, after the meal"Paula!" "Sir you call?" Paula is the head staff of Gregory Steward. "You should show them to the rooms so they can rest.""Yes sir, you should come with me." The three walked behind Paula"Ma, this is one of your rooms""We are sleeping in different rooms?" Cathy asked"Yes ma""No need, this is enough for the three of us," Whitney tells her."Wait let me ask the boss if you all can stay in here." She left and returned. "He said you can if this is what you want""That is what we want," Grace said, Paula just nodded and left, entering the room, it's as big as Cathy's apartment"This is Paradise." For the first time, Grace admits the place is perfect. "I feel like jumping on the bed""Cathy don't do that." Whitney stops her, Cathy rolls onto the bed, the bed is large enough to contain five people, it is complete equipment for a decent family home"Th
