Lola stared at the large spread of food laid out on the table which was prepared by the Sanchez family’s chefs and she wondered if anyone else had also missed breakfast like she did or if wasting food was just a norm in this family.She was alone with Hannah and had yet to meet any of her new family members including Noah. She settled down on a seat and immediately one of the chefs walked over with a notepad and a pen in his hand. “Good day, My Lady.” The French chef greeted. “I’m Chef Armel. I’ll be here to record whatever dishes you find to your liking and what dishes you would like us to refrain from serving you. Though I reckon you would find most of the dishes here to your liking.” he continued with a smile.Lola was flattered as she tried a serving of each food while the chef kept taking down notes. The food was indeed delicious and while she was on yet another little serving of food, she noticed Hannah bow in greeting along with the chef in the opposite direction.She gazed ove

The clubhouse was bubbly as always. A young woman stood at a considerable distance away from the entrance of the club not sure if she should take another step forward or run back home. She watched as a flashy car drove past her and came to a stop right in front of the club. Like the other VIPs, the occupant of the car was given a free pass into the club. One of the bouncers at the entrance noticed her standing at a spot and tapped the other bouncer close by.Noticing this, the girl knew that she no longer had the choice of backing out, she had been sighted, and leaving without reporting to the devil would only raise suspicions, suspicions that she did not need.Just as one of the bouncers made his way towards her, she forced her feet to move forward, meeting him halfway.“Are you being followed?.” He asked hurriedly as he looked around. She shook her head in the negative. No one knew she was there nor was anyone aware that she had been frequenting the club.“Then hurry in.. don’t kee

Click!Lola locked up the door leading into the walk-in closet behind her. The content of the bag she had received from Noah downstairs was a dress and she carried it gently in her hands to try it out.She had noticed the custom woven label on the inside of the dress and knew straight away that it had been ordered from Magnifique."I wonder what the occasion is.." she muttered.Because of the style of the dress, Lola had to put it on from her legs. She knew the fabric was of high quality but she took her time to be careful and not ruin the dress. It was a nude-colored sugar lace evening dress that hugged her curvy shape elegantly. The dress fitted her perfectly. It was probably because she had been to Magnifique before and her measurements had been noted by the staff.It had a long roll of full pleats on one side with a slit that ran from the middle of her right thigh to the ground.The dress was so beautiful and Lola could not help but turn around completely. The walls of the walk-in

Blanc, the French investor who Noah and Lola were meeting was only in the city for a short period and would be traveling back in two days. He had intended to be discreet with his business in Rosewoods to avoid meeting Noah. But what could be hidden from Noah Sanchez who had his eyes set all over the city?Mr Blanc’s secretary met the couple and the two bodyguards outside the door and directed Noah and Lola into the penthouse. He insisted that John and Tony remained outside while they went on with the meeting. John was hesitant but Noah told him it was alright. Then he walked into the room with Lola after the secretary.They met Blanc waiting for them in the sitting room. He was a man in his mid-fifties but he still had a youthful body. He sat cross-legged on one of the leather chairs in the room with a stern expression on his face. Left to him, he’d rather be anywhere else but here! “Here you are Mr. Sanchez, I was starting to think that I’d be starved to death by you,” Blanc said sar

“A Pivot Viceroy fountain pen?” Aria suggested as her gaze turned towards a row of fountain pens laid out carefully in a see-through show glass. “Or a journal, a tie, or cuff links..” Aria kept dishing out her suggestions but Lola’s attention was no longer there as she could not draw her eyes away from a particular fountain pen. It was a stainless steel pen with engravings on it. “I think the pen is a good idea,” Lola said as she smiled and made up her mind. Xena who was done with her video call returned to the room and overheard Lola’s last words the instant she got back. She walked over to a session and picked up an object she had noticed before the video call came in. “Lola.. Aria?” She called as she smirked. “I think we should include this in the gifts. What do you think Lola? Is Noah into stuff like this?.” Xena asked with a cheeky smileLola and Aria turned over at the same time surprised to see that Xena was back already, only to have their mouths pop open on seeing the ite
