Anita wonders what Liam wants to say to her that made him stand up instead of sitting in his executive office seat and speaking to her. He walks out and takes a few long steps to meet her, surprising her, and now stands in front of her. Though she's a tall person, he's still taller than her, and she feels her breath seize and her heart palpitating. "What do you do?" "Shush!" Liam hushes her up, placing his index finger on her lips. Anita gulps and feels her body spark as his finger touches her soft lips, and she steps backward immediately, stammering. "Sir, you requested to see me." "Yes, I did," Liam responds, and he walks backward to sit on an empty client seat. He doesn't know why he touched Anita's soft lips and feels his urge arising to pull her closer and kiss her hungrily as her natural pink lips entice him. Liam sits and faces Anita, trying to keep a straight face and suppress his internal desire to claim her. "Why did you ignore me yesterday and act before your sister l
Anita doesn't know how to comfort her friend either, as Temisa is actually going through a lot, and she has also added to it by allowing the CEO to kiss her. She knows that the CEO is actually going to marry Temisa soon, and he's even supposed to be kissing and cuddling with Temisa, not her. Anita breathes out heavily and walks up to meet Temisa, sobbing beside her car. "I'm so sorry to hear about this. I honestly don't know why your brother would do that. But your mom shouldn't have disowned them. How about your father?" Anita asks, and Temisa sighs. "He doesn't speak much. It only annoys me that Martin left with Felicia. I heard their voices that night. I heard the sounds of someone moaning in the late hour of the night, but it didn't cross my mind to check Felicia's room." "That's her name?" Anita asks, and Temisa nods. "Yes. She's white, almost like you, but you're taller than her, and she's short," Temisa responds. "And your brother left with her... Hmph..." Anita sighs heav
"I'm fine, mother. It's nothing," Anita responds and stares downward while Mrs. Tonia gazes at Esther locking the gate. Favour finally approaches them and questions Anita as their power supply turns on, making them see Anita's red face properly under the white-shining bulb. "Hey, big sis, what's wrong? Did you lose your job?" Favour asks as she approaches Anita, with Esther walking behind her and staring at Anita's face. "Sister, what's the problem?" Esther also asks, as they all surround Anita, expressing concern. "I'm fine, and I didn't lose my job. Can we all go inside now?" Anita responds to them and walks towards the frontage first, climbing the balcony stairs and going into their living room, while they follow suit after her. Mrs. Tonia sighs and gazes at her daughters. She knows all is not well with how her eldest daughter looks, and she fears maybe Anita has truly lost her job and doesn't want to disclose it to them. Mrs. Tonia decides not to press on the topic of why A
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. He worries that his actions may have serious consequences, such as her resigning or refusing to come to work. The line was crossed, and the kiss was far from innocent. Initially hesitant, he found himself irresistibly drawn to her as he observed her nervous lip-biting and couldn't shake his thoughts of her. Since his return to the country, he has remained faithful, having been deeply hurt by his ex-girlfriend. Mila Anderson's background is a mix of Nigerian and American heritage, which led her to grow up in the United States. As a result, she has a fair complexion. Liam planned to propose to Mila on her 26th birthday, which happened to fall on February 14th, Valentine's Day. However, he wanted to make it a memorable and intimate moment, so he surprised her by visiting her family home, where she lived w
Liam doesn't know what to say to his mother. Seeing her saddened face and wanting to exit his room, he quickly responds, "Fine mother, we will go to see her family." Mrs. Juliet stops and stares back at Liam, not saying anything in response, as she exits his room. Liam breathes out heavily as he walks into his inner room to take his bath, feeling frustrated. He has to make up his mind and, most likely, choose a bride between them. His mother has said, "They can cancel the arrangements if he doesn't want Mr. John's daughter." Liam sighs and walks to his closet, taking his sparkling white towel as he strips and walks into his bathroom to bathe. Switching on the shower tap, the cold water splashes on his hot skin, soothing his annoyance, and he groans. Liam silently prays Anita doesn't quit her job, as he needs to apologize to her. Meanwhile, Anita steps out of her bathroom and walks to her bed. She dries her cold body, and just then Lisa knocks on her room door and informs her, "Di
Anita ignores Bambam's cold gaze on her and settles on her office seat, knowing that she's only there to work and earn and not make any friends. She remembers Alfred's proposal to her to quit working for Liam, and she wonders why Alfred hasn't even given her a call since then. Anita switches on her computer as she leans on her desk, and she doesn't care about anything else and knows in three weeks' time she will receive her first salary. Staring at her computer, booting and displaying in front of her, she wonders why the CEO hasn't arrived yet. As most times, he usually arrives early before her, and sometimes she doesn't even know he has arrived and walked past her into his office. Anita knows the CEO will soon arrive, as the time is already past 7:20 a.m. She arranges for the clients that will meet with him, checking all the clients' names. She doesn't see Alfred's name or the governor's wife's name on the list, and she sighs. Just then the elevator door opens, and Liam walks ou
Passing through a lot, is that why she's always sad and looking red? Liam asks himself as he drops his spoon and thinks for a while. Temisa walks out of Liam's office and immediately walks into Anita's open office. "Goodbye, girlfriend; see you later, after closing, and remember, the company asked us to wait!" Temisa says this as she quickly walks away and enters the elevator that takes her down the floor. Anita stares around for a while and continues eating her fried rice. "Temisa looks happy; does that mean the CEO actually kissed her too?" Anita's subconscious asks herself, and she wonders what really transpired between Temisa and the CEO in his office. "I shouldn't be worrying about this; they're a couple." Anita frowns at her own words, finishes her fried rice, and puts down her plate. She wipes the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief and continues with her work, arranging the list of names that will see the boss the following day. Meanwhile, Liam sits in his office,
Liam walks back to his red SUV, and Tosin opens the SUV door for him to sit in. Liam doesn't wait for his father to say anything to him. As soon as Silas was through with his brief, Liam immediately walked away, as he wanted to rest. He speaks to Israel. "Stop by any eatery and get me some ice cream." Israel stares through the rearview mirror and responds, "Okay, boss." He ignites the SUV and drives out of Bennett, and he approaches an eatery, while Tosin steps down and walks into the eatery to get the boss's orders. Liam knows he cannot face little Cynthia without fulfilling his promise to her, as she doesn't seem to forget any promise made to her. He remembers the last time when her mother had promised her that Temisa would play with her, and Temisa never uttered any words to her, making Cynthia sadder. Tosin walks back to the SUV, holding a white-packaged nylon, and sits in, while Israel starts the SUV and drives back to their mansion. They arrive home as the security men at t
