Aletta found her mind wandering to Anette, she wondered how she felt telling others she was getting married. The idea of marriage had always been a no-go area for her as she had decided for a long time now not to get married.She occasionally had feelings of jealousy when she saw her high school and college mates get married but they only lasted for a while because she had a strong will and prejudice against marriage."I wonder how she feels about getting married" she murmured to herself as she tried to bring herself back to her work.If she could tell someone how she felt she would let them know that she did not feel good about the fact that someone who tried so hard to ruin her relationship was getting such a clean finish while she was still unsure about marriage.She had always been sure about her choice but these days when she looked at Joshua she always had a series of what-ifs. She wanted to know what it might feel like to get to call another person a husband and what it might b

Aletta was too stunned to speak. She blinked multiple times to try and mask her expression. She bit her lips."That caught me off guard" she finally said and he nodded. "But can I think about it?" she asked."Sure sure" he said trying to make it sound like it was a normal conversation."I would think about it and also about the marriage thing but I do need time to think about it" She said and he agreed with her.They tried to spend some time together but the awkwardness could not let them be so they both decided to go home and rest."You look like you received bad news" Alethea said as soon as Aletta walked through the door into the living room.Aletta looked at her sister, she might give good advice about the situation. She lived her life loving as well. It seemed like her family was cursed with never having anyone to love them truly but out of the three ladies she was the one who gave up on love."Are you seeing someone?" Aletta asked plopping onto the couch."Of course," Alethea sa

Aletta sat at her desk after talking with Alethea who had made up some good points. She pulled up a file from her desk and knew that it was time for her to finally proceed with her plan from the wrong back.She has always wanted to become a children's book story illustrator and has worked on it silently for years. She had gotten offers and had not yet gotten back to them because she was not sure if she was ready to stop working as Joshua's secretary.Since she was considering moving in with him and giving marriage seem thoughts then it must be time to resign and begin to pursue her dreams. As she drafted out her resignation letter she thought back to how she ended up like this. It all started with her confession to him and here she was months later considering moving in with him. She was going to resign at the start of the next year so she was only doing it earlier than she thought.'I need to see you first thing tomorrow morning' She tapped on her phone and sent it to Joshua. She st

By the time they were done with the work of the day and rectifying the issues, they were sure that everyone who had gone to work for the day was already well-rested at home and even preparing for bed."You did great today," Millie said as they walked out.Millie and Joshua walked side by side while Aletta walked behind them. She still tried to keep her professional character in place even though everyone knew about her relationship with her boss."And you too" Joshua complimented. Millie was taken aback because even though Joshua had always been a gentleman he had never for once dished out compliments to his staff."I am glad to have you" he said and Millie stopped in her tracks threw him a look of disbelief and shook her head."You are?" she asked and he nodded."I mean we would have had a big issue with our investors next week if you had not checked this out for us" Joshua said."Well, I am getting paid a big one so I must work my pay" she said and Joshua shook his head."I am still

"When would our food be here?" Aletta asked trying to stall. She knew she was going to tell him at the end of the day but she wanted to try her best to stall for as long as possible.Joshua took up his phone and tapped away before looking up at her. "They should be arriving in five minutes or less" he said and she nodded."Let's take a tour of the house and talk over the food" she said pushing herself out of the chair they had made themselves comfortable. "Okay," he said as he shrugged. There was nothing else to do after all. He could not give her a tour because he did not know the place as well as the owner should know.He had been here once, this time making it the second time he visited the place. All he knew was that his family had a house on the outskirts of Grace Street. "Aren't you going to give me a tour?" she asked and he shook his head."I don't know where anything goes," he said. Aletta thought it was a shame that the fully furnished house housed no one."Why did you brin
