Lahat ng Kabanata ng Groom For The Day: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Tanya met Meg on the phone when she got downstairs.“Okay, keep me posted,” Meg said to the person on the phone before disconnecting.She sighed in exasperation as she pulled out a chair from the mini-meeting seating arrangement set off to one side of the living room.“That bastard is driving me crazy,” Meg muttered.“Thank you,” Tanya said as she sat. “Has he done something else?” She asked with certainty that she wouldn't like whatever it was that Meg just heard.“He got to Prime!” Meg said as she waved the standby staff over, with his cart of coffee and confectioneries. “I hear he is going to have an interview. My source just informed me.”“None for me, thank you,” Tanya said as Meg told the staff to pour her a generous hand of coffee.“I believe you are going to need it,” Meg said as she drank hastily and swore when it burned her tongue. “Damn it. Nothing is going right this morning,” she said as she glared at the coffee.Tanya tried to hide her smile as she said “Relax, Meg.”Meg

By midday, Ayo already felt like he would go crazy soon.The continuous talk of Ruffs and the constant buzzing around by the assistant was getting on his nerves.What more? Ruffs wouldn’t go away despite Ayo’s protests.“Princess needs me to teach you all you need to know before the end of the day” had been his constant mantra.For a moment, Ayo had almost despised Tanya for all of this. Almost.He tried to call her to get her dog off his back, but it was useless.Meg had picked up the call and told him in that frosty tone that Tanya was not available to pick up calls.“Please, focus on your training, Mr Taiwo. You will need it sooner than we thought,” she said before disconnecting the call.“That woman!” Ayo had gritted out before going back to his punishment. Ruffs was showing him the proper ways to use certain weird-looking utensils then.Why the hell did he need to remove the snail from its shell when the cook could have done that? He wondered in frustration.Apparently, it was su

“I can’t believe this. It is one thing after the other with you,” Meg fumed as she paced the patio.Ayo hung his head in a show of embarrassment.In truth, he wouldn’t mind returning to that store to punch that man’s face all over again.At least, he would be satisfied that it had been worth the trouble after all.He only got in two punches and wiped the floor with one of the security guards.His flying kick had done that while the other guard had stayed back.Ayo had not realised that the coward was calling the cop.He was surprised when they got there within minutes.In this part of the world where the cops can arrive at a robbery scene hours after the incident, he was shocked to realise that they would rush over for such a trivial thing.The manager’s nose was bleeding badly when they got there and it didn’t take much before the cops held his arms behind him and cuffed him.Within the blink of an eye, Ayo was pushed into their vehicle before he could even explain himself.The manag

“I don’t like spending your money, I don’t need Ruffs breathing down my neck, I don’t need your manager scolding me like a child and I definitely don’t need a thousand and one designer wears. What more? Who cares how I hold my fork? I just want to eat. You agree with me that all those aren’t necessary, don’t you?” he said with a bit of frustration.For the first time since they entered the room, she gave him an easy smile, “You need them,” she said apologetically. “If you really want to do this, then all these things are needed. They will tear you down anyway, but then if you are equipped in the right way, the sting will be less,” she said sincerely.Ayo considered that, and he liked the sound of it, “I don’t want to go about with your card,”“We will get you your own,” she said smoothly.“It will still be your money.”“We can consider it a sort of payment for doing this,”His look darkened before he said, “Don’t insult me,” “I am sorry. What about we count it as a loan? You can pay

Melinda!” James' curt tone was sharper this time, and he looked directly at his fuming wife, who seemed like she had more to say, but she thought better of it and picked up her wineglass again.Tanya smiled sweetly and said, “Shall we order?”James shook his head, “Actually, I have lost my appetite. We all know why you are here. Let’s get it out of the way. I have somewhere else to be.”Tanya’s smile disappeared as she said, “Fine. I find it unfair that you decide not to launch Tainted Desires because of an unrelated event.”“Unrelated?” James asked with a raised brow, “You are the lead actress. The main face of the movie, and pardon me for calling a spade a spade, but most of your fans hate you right now. I can’t take that risk.”“I won’t go as far as to say hate. And why should that matter, really? I put my sweat and blood into that movie. I gave four months of my life for it too. You know my rule of not taking on two projects at a time. I did my very best for that movie, and now you
