The first good news of the new year came to him that morning when he got to the office, he had arrived late and wasn't even looking forward to having to go over the same process again, if they didn't approve this time, he was going to give it up and look for a better state in the United States to set it up, it wasn't his loss."Sir, it came,"Armani said when he walked into the office that morning feeling fresh from his weekend away from work, yes, despite Josie ruining his time in Hawaii, he hadn't come to Florida directly, he changed his mind as he boarded the plane and had decided to finish off his time off in California, he only spent one day there but it was refreshing, he met with Reuben who had been too happy to host him."What's that?""The approval, they came and it is approved,""What approval? Wait the mining?""Yes sir,"She responded in excitement, he had almost given up on that ever happening and it was such great news, he should be happy, he got what he wanted but, he w

"What are you going to do Nicole? Are you going to tell him?"Natalie asked, they were all sitting in Nicole's room and they have both been walking on eggshells around her since Grace and her got back from the hospital, she didn't know what to do, she has been quiet the whole time as they discuss within themselves, her thoughts were running far and wide, not like she wasn't happy by the news that she had a chance of being a mom again, no, she was happy, she thought she would never get to experience what it is like to be a mom yet she was giving the chance to, she was happy but then, there were so many things not right that she has to put in place, and she didn't know how to go about doing that."You can't stay quiet all day you know, you will need to say something at one point, Nicole, don't keep it in,"Grace said."What do you want me to say?""Anything, like what are you thinking right now, you have been frowning since we got back, a baby is actually good news you know, and a perfe

Nicole rushed to where Aron stood looking nervous as fuck, the exhibition was starting soon, and well, let's just say a lot more people turned up than he had expected which was why he got nervous and his works were going to be displayed first, would she feel like this too when she hosts her first exhibition? This wasn't Aron's first and he was this nervous."Aron? Come in, you got this, don't be scared,"She said when she got to him."Nicole, there are so many people, I just saw Paul Bari, he is like my biggest inspiration and I didn't even know he would be here, now I am scared that my works aren't good enough,"He said, his hands were practically shaking."Calm down, you will be fine, you got this and I can tell you that everyone will love your work.”She said calmly, the dude was practically sweating and the weather was chilly."You think so? I am not so confident anymore, have you seen the work being displayed at Paul's shows, they are masterpieces and I can't compete with that,"

Rafael stared at the papers in his hands with a feeling of unease and unforetold jealousy, he heard about it, but he didn't know it was actually true, does that mean Nicole really moved on from him? He didn't like it, he didn't like what he saw at all, he hated the guy smiling at him in the photo and holding his woman's hand, the headline wasn't helping either, what do they mean Nicole's, new man? He was the only man Nicole had and no one else could be her man."You should have thought of that before,"The annoying voice in his head said."Just let me be, get the fuck out of my head,"He warned, he wasn't in the mood to listen to his subconsciousness, he looked at the papers one more time and closed it, they were wrong, Nicole wasn't dating the dude, she was just friends with him, she can not be over him, if she was she won't have allowed him to touch her again but she did."And you still don't remember,"The nosy voice said. Rafael wished he could remember but he had tried and tried,

"Well, this headline is something else don't you think?"Natalie asked Nicole, she nodded without paying much attention to it, she had to finish with this stretch as she needed to get the work done soon, she had other pressing jobs too, one of which was Natalie's friend's birthday present, she was already halfway done with that and hoped to finish it today."What are you talking about?"She asked."I am talking about this, will you spare a minute and take a look, they are portraiting you and Aron as a couple,"She said, that got her interest, so she looked up and took the papers from her. She hadn't had time to check the reviews from the exhibition, she had been busy with too many things to bother about It."It doesn't look so bad,"She said after she read through."Really? Why are you guys a couple now?"Natalie asked."No, we are not, we are friends,""I don't think that's what Aron wants, it is clear he has the hots for you,""Nah, we are good, we talked about it and there is nothi
