Mr Smith stared at his friend with an investigating look. He could tell Landon was up to something and he wondered what it was and why Landon was hell bent on telling him who she was."Won't you ask?" Landon asked, the smirk not leaving his face. Mr Smith sighed. He couldn't think of anything and knowing Landon, he was never predictable. "Go on, tell me already." He said weakly. He had given up on thinking.Landon rubbed his palm together with the smirk still on his face. "Guess who is about to blow your mind?" He said, speaking to Mr Smith's curiosity."Just spit it out already, Landon. Not everyone is as free as you are." Mr Smith tells, taking his attention back to his computer"What do you mean? I am also a busy man." Landon defended making Landon scoff in return."Of course you are. Landon is always busy with everything." Mr Smith snickered."So are you going to tell me who she is or are you going to walk away so I can concentrate on my work sine I do not have a whole day for a

"Gosh I'm so nervous Bee. I wish you were here." Victoria explains her feelings to her friend.They've not been able to properly speak due to their difference in time and busy schedule and Victoria couldn't be more grateful when her phone call literally went through and Elizabeth told her she had time for a video call."Breathe in Toria. It's gonna be fine. I just wish I was with you to see the face of our Prince charming." Elizabeth cooed as she batted her eyes.Victoria rolled her eyes. "I told you he is no prince charming of mine. He is handsome and all but we are just friends and we are going to be friends." She reminded Elizabeth whose facial expression showed she didn't believe any of the words Victor had just told her."Just friends? Isn't that what they all say till the lips are touching each other and the tongue is involved?" Elizabeth mumbled.Victoria scoffed. "You just want a ship don't you? Well you won't be shipping me with anyone till I say it is safe to, are we underst

Victoria admired herself at the vanity. Her face has been transformed to something different and she couldn't help but be in awe of the makeup artist's skills. She swallowed the lump in her throat and she let out a small sigh."Thank you." She muttered to the make-up artist who smiled in return."I'm sure he won't be able to get his eyes off you." The make-up artist tells Victoria.Victoria said nothing in return but offered her a small smile in return. Just as she was about to leave, the make-up artist said, "You two make a perfect couple." "He is not my boyfriend." Victoria clarified politely."That's all they say but later it's otherwise." The make-up artist said.Victoria shrugged in return before walking away. Landon left a while ago but before he did, he told her to call him once she was done as he had gone to attend to something important.She stood outside already dressed for the event waiting for Landon. She called him five minutes ago and he told her he'd be around in no ti

Landon furrowed his brows in confusion before realizing Victoria had dashed off. "I do not know. Let me..." He was cut off when a lady interrupted him."Landon." She called."Rosemary." Landon called back surprisingly. She quickly leaned in to hug him. "It's been long. You smell so nice as always." She said with a seductive smile on her face.Rosemary, daughter of Albert Frank, owner of a chemical company. She was once a friend with benefits with Landon for a year before they called it quits. They respected one another and knew what they wanted and when they realized they were tired of their situation, they decided to call it quit and move on and ever since then, they had not seen each other again until today. "And you too." He tells her."Strawberry." He smacked his lip and she blushed.She suddenly glanced at Mr Smith. "And who is your hot friend?" She spoke seductively, licking her lips as she admired Mr Smith."This is my friend Jason." Landon introduced."Oh. I'm Rosemary." She

Victoria choked on her breath. "What?" She wondered why everyone had to think she was in a relationship with any man she stood with. First it was Mr Albert the pervert and now Rosemary."We...we are not dating." Victoria immediately clarified.Rosemary looked from Victoria to Landon and then from Landon back to Victoria and a smirk formed on her face. She had thought Landon had settled down but seeing that wasn't the case, she looked forward to acting on what she had in mind."Oh I see. My bad for insinuating." She spoke softly."It's no problem." Victoria tells her.She moved closer to Landon seductively. "Since you are single..." She trailed off as she played with the button of his suit. Victor adjusted so as not to be in-between them. She could tell there was something going on between Rosemary and Landon and it was none of her business.Landon didn't want to be disrespectful by pulling away or pushing her off so he forced a smile on his face. "I will excuse myself." Mr Smith said

"Jason." Mirabel called, getting her older brother's attention.Mr Smith, who was busy working out, stopped what he was doing to attend to his sister. He took the bottle of water on the floor, opened it and drank from it.He sighed as he wiped the sweats with the face towel on his neck. "What is Mirabella?" He spoke softly."Elizabeth is back from India." She tells him."I know. We spoke last night." He informed his sister and a smile formed on her face."Hmm. I see. So you knew before I did. I wonder what's going on between you two?" She shrugged."What is it you want to tell me Mirabella? Or is that all?" His brows raised in a questioning manner. "Not that's not all." She tells him."Elizabeth is back from India and I asked to go out with her. What I mean is before she left, we planned on going on a vacation for some days and now she's back, we..." She trailed off, fidgeting her fingers.She was worried that her brother wouldn't agree to what she wanted to ask him to do so she deci

Mirabel inhaled and exhaled deeply as soon as she stepped out of the car. She had a smile on her face just thinking of the activity that would take place today.She had made her brother sit in the back with Elizabeth to give them time to speak to one another. Whenever they spoke and Elizabeth blushed she would smile. She kept peeking glances at them through the mirror and when she noticed she was about to be caught, she'd look away. Mr Smith carried their bags in his hands as they began to walk. Mirabel moved from where she stood beside her brother so Elizabeth could stand beside him."It's been a long time since I went hiking. Kinda nervous." Elizabeth admitted.She had only gone hiking with Victoria and it felt different without her friend here. "Don't worry Elizabeth. You will be fine." Mirabel tells her with my smile on her face. "Even if you won't be, my brother is here for you...I mean us." She added.Elizabeth noticed every little action taken by Mirabel and she understood it

The moment Mr Smith returned back to the office, the first person he asked for was Victoria but he got the news that she asked for a two days leave."What do you mean she asked for a two days leave? Who gave her the permission and when was that?" He asked Clara with a blank facial expression and his both hands in his pants pocket.Clara was frightened by the tone he used. "Mr Lucky." She replied almost quietly."Mr Lucky. When did she meet him?" He asked. He was infuriated because he had come to see her after so many days only to hear she took a two days leave. All his days at Northern Virginia, he was constantly reminded of Victoria one way or the other. Either he saw someone who acted just like she did or something that made him remember how she spoke or what she would have done if she was by his side."Yesterday he was around and she asked for a two days leave due to an emergency and he let her go." Clara explained to him.Mr Smith clenched his fist. He took in a deep breath and ex

"Ms Perkins?" Mr Smith called wanting to be sure she was the one he was seeing. Victoria halted on her track to see if the voice which she had guessed to be Mr Smith was indeed his. Once she confirmed, a smile formed on her face, she knew it was his but didn't know why she contemplated."You are still here? What happened?" Mr Smith asked, his both hands in his pants pocket."Oh. I forgot my slippers. I thought I would come to work with my slippers today but it turns out I didn't and..." She trailed off showing him her broken heels.His eyes widened a bit in realization. "Oh." He muttered."That's why I came. I am on my way home though." she tells him."I will drop you. After all I cannot let you walk barefooted." He blurted out before thinking."Oh." Victoria muttered. "It's actually no problem. I can manage. I will just call an Uber and they will drop me off. Don't want to disturb you." She tells him.Mr Smith sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "You always reject my offer

"Why are we here?" Victoria asked Mr Smith as soon as he parked in front of his cabin."We are here because you refuse to tell me your house address and besides this is the closest place. It's not always safe to drive inside the rain." He defended. "Oh." She muttered, her mouth forming the 'O' shape.It stated the rain the moment Mr Smith began to drive. They both got out of the car and ran to the front of the door which was very close from where he parked his car.Mr Smith opened his cabin and led her inside. She sighed in relief once she entered the warm cabin. She wasn't beaten by the rain but she felt cold. Mr Smith led her to where the house warmer was and her eyes widened in realization and she recalled what happened the last time she was here. She froze on the spot , refusing to take a step further.She flushed in embarrassment thinking of it. She had managed to get over it until today and it was because she had to be in that same place the awkward moment occurred.Mr Smith no
