Semua Bab Reyona's Revenge: Bab 141 - Bab 150

“He is not so bad, you know,” Celia said at the end of her laughter.Reyona, who was smiling at the antics of the old man among the women dancing in the square, nodded and said “You mean at flirting? Yes, he is certainly good at that.” With soft laughter, she added, “At dancing? "Not bad" is an exaggeration. I can’t believe I have never come across this place. Best way to relax. What dance do you think that is?”They both looked over at the man as he pretended to miss his step and raised his hand for one of the women to help him up.Celia laughed again and said “Oh, they know what he is doing. And they are allowing him. Oh, I wish life could be just that simple. The dance? I think salsa and a touch of their version of tango. I have never asked them. I enjoy it whenever I see them out here. They have gotten used to me, I would say” she beamed at Reyona as she added. "I could even say I am a part of the group at this point. Their silent admirer.”Reyona smiled and looked at the group ag

Reyona unblocked Maxwell’s number and forwarded the message to him.She was tempted to call Mary to tell her she wouldn’t be having anything to do with the kids from now on but she stopped herself.Somehow she knew she might not be able to hold out against that sweet woman who had other people’s issues dumped on her lap.“It is none of my business,” she muttered to herself out loud.She had barely seen the delivered notification before his call came through.Reyona swore at her slowness in blocking his number back. She disconnected the call and proceeded to block the number again.Her finger hovered over the block button for a second as a thought occurred to her.His call came in again and she automatically disconnected it.Then she pressed the message bar and sent Maria’s number to him.Call her and stop pestering me. She tagged the number and blocked his number again.She had thought of deleting the number earlier but since that could make her pick up his call unaware, she decided t

She had promised herself not to go.Just that morning she had firmly ignored the text message from Mary.Since when did aged women become keen on texting anyway?She had even admonished herself for remembering the date even before Mary texted her.The woman had done that right after her call went straight to voicemail.Blocking her was beginning to look like the better option after all.Still, she had not done it.She had simply left her home, which still seemed strange to her with all the changes, as early as possible.She convinced herself and her surprised employees that she had been the first person in the office because she was eager to get started on the day's work.Oh no, it had nothing to do with any anxiety she might be feeling about what had nothing to do with her.Even as her eyes kept going to the clock while she was in the middle of her first meeting of the day, she convinced herself it was all normal.She was fine, and she was not bothered about anything at all.The cloc

Business was good.ReyDexter was doing so well that Reyona was beginning to give serious thought to what she had had in mind before the scandal.The thought of expansion.She even told her top executives about it, and they felt they could pull it off with their strength at the moment.Reyona and Sehima Hasanova had become more than just business partners; the savvy, world-class woman had become a mentor versus a consultant to Reyona about certain things.All the questions the woman asked fitted perfectly with ReyDexter’s strength at the moment.Then Sehima asked her one last question. “Are you ready?”That was when Reyona realised that the easiest questions at times might not have the easiest answers.Was she ready?It was easier for her to admit to herself that she was restless than it was for her to answer such a simple question.It didn’t take long for her to also admit to herself that her restlessness had nothing to do with business.Over the past weeks, she had alternated through

“Unfortunately, we can’t get the Sanstons to take them back.” “And what makes you think we would want them to go back to such people who obviously have no idea of what they were doing?” Reyona snapped before the woman could properly finish her statement. The woman’s look and Maxwell's little touch on her arm made her remember the situation they were in. “Uhm, I mean, why don’t they want them back?” “They said she is problematic. You see, these people have been working with us for a while now. They currently have two other boys with them and there has never been such a problem. They were already thinking of calling us before the accident happened.” “So, you also believe the girl is to blame?” Reyona asked with a direct look at the woman. The woman looked uncomfortable as she looked from Reyona to Maxwell as if she was expecting a backup. Then she looked back at Reyona when Maxwell said nothing. “See, ma’am. I am not trying to apportion blame here, but the Santons were very sure th
