Mrs Crown wasn't going to allow her only son to make a gross mistake. He’s been hurt a lot in relationships as a result of ignoring these little triggers."I saw her humiliate my son and that doesn't make her the right choice. Break up with her," she said defiantly. Andrew was visibly upset, his anger kept rising and falling like climate change. He couldn't remember the last time anyone told him how to handle his lady. He wanted the conversation to end and said,"Fine."Mrs Crowns’ eyes lit. Just as she convinced Andrew to marry Melissa, he also agreed with her concerning Susan. The waiter had arrived and the table was soon filled with diverse dishes. She asked excitedly,"You will break up with her?" "No,” Andrew responded indifferently and poured himself a glass of vodka. Mrs Crowns’ excitement flushed instantly from her face and her voice turned stern."Andrew, you need to understand that you aren't just my only son but also the CEO of Crown Investors. How can you marry such a gir
"Mum, dad, did you check the time?" Susan asked, annoyed, while avoiding Dora, since she had eyes on Andrew when she didn't know that he was the one living in her house. Also, she attacked Susan after the launch, which meant that she was still obsessed with the man. As such, Susan couldn't let her close. Her mother spoke most politely, like she was speaking to someone of a higher reputation. "I'm sorry but we had to wait until your dad closed from work. Can we come in?" Andrew knew that Susan might refuse so he quickly made way for them. They were still her parents so he didn't want any misunderstanding between them. Mrs Stack was amazed with the empty utensils on the dining table. The candles on the candle holders were still burning. It seemed that Susan and Andrew had patched things up. "You had a candlelit dinner. Does that mean?" Her eyes roamed around Susan's ring finger, making her uncomfortable. She hated the fact that Andrew was now adored because he was rich. She turned i
Andrew knew there was more and asked, "Is that all she said?" There was no expression on his face so the receptionist was clueless about his reason for asking. She pursed her lips thoughtfully. Something told her that she couldn't lie to this man. "She also called you a loser." Now Andrew was certain that it was the right person. He wanted to be sure before leaving the items behind,"Have this given to her will you?""Okay, goodbye sir." When the receptionist took the bouquet to the office, everyone began to laugh out loud. It was an open office so Lily had no privacy. "Your loser boyfriend is back,” one of her colleagues said with an odd smile.Lily had a scowl on her face. "He isn't my boyfriend, never was, and never will be,” she explained with difficulty, regret nudging her. If she hadn’t taken Andrew home that night, she wouldn’t have become a laughing stock."Lily, he looked familiar," the receptionist cut in with the bouquet in hand, feeling that Lily might just regret her ac
Andrew was at a loss but instantly guessed who the woman whose arms wrapped around him was by her fragrance without seeing her face. Her grip was so tight that he had to apply force to push her away. His emotions were all over the place, as he looked at how chagrined Susan was. He had to clarify everything in front of her. He turned to the woman who was now standing beside him, looking offended, and lifted his eyes to meet her gaze since he was still sitting.“Christen, what are you talking about?” He frowned and asked. Christen confirmed it. It only meant that Andrew had been wearing a contact lens when he lived with her. How could she not know? Well, it wasn't too late. If she could get Susan away from him, he would forgive her for the past. Seeing Susan’s disarray, she said, “Come on, Andrew, why are you pretending? My colleagues were there, or, is it because of her?”She exchanged glances between him and Susan. Her plan seemed to be working because Susan wasn't defending Andrew
A few hours later, they were in Andrew’s private jet headed for NY. If it was Andrew alone, he would have used a chopper but with her, he made new arrangements. Susan decided to sell her car and put her apartment up for rent so Andrew had made arrangements for someone to take care of it. She had even gone ahead of Amelia and Charlotte but was happy with the fact that they’d be joining them soon.They might not live and work together but they’ll meet each other regularly. Susan rested her head on Andrew's chest throughout the journey but she had another request. Andrew didn't like it but was forced to accept it.“I don't want to work as your PA and I don't want anyone in the office to know me as your girlfriend because I don't want any special favors either,” she paused and stared at him hopefully. “Just treat me like every other employee.”“For how long?” Andrew frowned and asked. She was hers yet he couldn't let anyone in the company know that. Andrew didn't like the idea at all.“T
‘How was I able to sleep on her couch?’ Andrew pondered over the question. He had no idea. Determination blinded his need for comfort so much that never for once did he feel uncomfortable on her couch.“That couch was quite cozy if you ask me.” Susan thought he was just trying to make her soothe her and wasn’t convinced. No, the couch was half of your length and you had to coil in there,” she analyzed, while her eyes moved from one direction to the other.Everywhere was captivating. The pool was so clear with beach beds well arranged beside it. The lawns were neatly and professionally designed, they looked artistic. The flowers were carefully designed, the roads between the lawns paved in an exquisite design. As a child, everyone dreamt about being a princess and living in a castle but as one grew, those expectations were cut. Susan felt her childhood dreams were just materializing. Living a wealthy life wasn’t in her plan but now, she could never escape it. She would just think of
Susan’s simple life was now a complicated one. Dinner for two seemed like a feast for twenty, it got her confused as to exactly what to eat. She began to think about squeezing some time for workouts into her routine to stay fit or Andrew might turn her into a pig.Chef Dinah was so friendly as she served their meal and would ask them how each delicacy tasted. Susan was genuinely happy. Nothing could trigger her germaphobe because the maids were always at work, cleaning every spill as if it was something gross.That night, Andrew and Susan made love once again before giving in to sleep. Andrew ensured to wear her out, so she’d change her mind about being treated like a normal employee in the company she was about to co-own. Leaving the house early in the morning to attend to some urgent matters, Andrew smirked as he left her a note.When she woke up, it took a while for her to accept the new life thrown at her. She looked here and there for Andrew but there was no sign of him. Beside
“Here, your office,” West spoke coldly. Susan looked around, her germaphobe kicking in. West didn’t know about her condition but only thought to make her uncomfortable in the company. If she couldn’t withstand it, she would leave.“I can see that but it’s also unkempt,” Susan said with disdain, while she stood stiff at the spot. She didn’t mind cleaning and mopping the office but she didn’t have extra clothes, which would make her to feel worse. “So clean it yourself,” West said unfazed. Seeing her demeanor, he already knew that he had won. It was just a matter of time before she run with her tail between her legs without looking back. Susan was depressed, as she never faced anything like this before. Her voice turned low because there was no way she’d stay in this office.“I don’t mind doing chores but if there’s someone paid to do it, then I don’t see why I should add their job to mine. So unless I’ll get paid for it, I need a janitor,” she regained herself and insisted. West sigh
