"Welcome my daughter, I thought, Anita is here with you.""No ma, she has gone inside since, I was only receiving a phone call and that delayed me," Temisa says, knowing she cannot claim to have been listening in on their chats."Okay, hope all is well with you?"

"Racing through a whirlwind of experiences, could that be the reason behind her perpetual melancholy and flushed appearance?" Liam ponders, setting down his spoon and reflecting for a moment.Temisa swiftly exits his office and promptly enters Anita's open office."Goodbye, girlfriend. We'll meet up later, once we're done with work. Just a friendly reminder that the company has requested us to wait." Temisa says, as she briskly walks away, and steps into the elevator that takes her downstairs.Anita quickly scans her surroundings before resuming her meal of fried rice.''Temisa seems pleased.

With her sights set on the future, she eagerly anticipates the arrival of her first paycheck in just three weeks.Staring at her computer, waiting to boot up, she ponders the CEO's tardiness.

He needs to decide and ultimately choose one of them as his bride.His mother stated that the arrangements could be canceled if he is uninterested in Mr. John's daughter.

Liam gracefully exits his luxurious vehicle and strolls back into their opulent residence.He continues to dwell on the mistake he made when he inappropriately kissed his secretary.

"I'm fine, Mom. It's nothing," Anita responds, her gaze fixed downward. Mrs. Tonia looks at Esther, who is locking the gate, and Favour approaches them.

Anita struggled to console her friend, Temisa, who was going through a difficult time. To make matters worse, Anita had made a questionable decision by allowing the CEO to kiss her, despite knowing that he was engaged to marry Temisa soon. The CEO's affection should have been reserved for Temisa alone, and not Anita.She exhales deeply and approaches Temisa, who is crying next to her car."I apologize for the unfortunate news." I can't understand your brother's actions. However, it was unfortunate that your mom chose to disown them. What about your father?" She asks, and Temisa lets out a sigh."He is not very talkative." It's frustrating that Martin left with her. I heard their voices that night. I heard moaning in the late hour of the night, but I didn't think to check Felicia's room."Is that really her name?" Anita inquires, and Temisa affirms.Agreed. "She's white, almost like you, but you're taller than her and she's short," Temisa responds."And your brother went with her.. Wel

His sudden presence before her catches her off guard.Despite her height, he still towers over her, causing her to catch her breath and feel her heart racing."What do you want to know?""Quiet," he whispered, silencing her with a gentle touch of his finger on her lips.
