Rita’s POVMy eyes were heavy, I had dark eye bags circled round it, I didn’t sleep well last night yet I had to work tirelessly the following day (today). I looked forward to the recess period and atlas ...“Oh finally! It’s time to take a break” I placed my head on the table.“You’re not getting lunch?” Evelyn asked.“I’m tired and sleepy. I’m gonna have a siesta instead” I told her.“I can see it, your eyes are kind of bulgy” She gawked at me.“That’s what you gain for dating a guy online. Midnight calls and chat but since it’s all for love, it’s fine” I yawned and she laughed.“Lover girl, I’m happy to see you in love and I’m super excited that you are happy in love” She said and I blushed.“I’m also glad I won’t be having that annoying disturbing conversation with you” I was referring to the way she pester me to find a lover. “And incase you do not know, you were indirectly mocking my marital status"She laughed out loud.“Okay now, you gotta go” I motioned her.“I can’t go to th

Rita’s POV “Mr Finn is far better than his mother” Evelyn suddenly uttered while we were having our lunch at the restaurant.“You are right. I totally agree with you. Finn sees us as his friends and his peer group" I nodded my head in affirmation.“We are his peer group afterall” Adam sneered and his girlfriend shot him a warning stare.“Uhm guys, I already saw this coming! Finn wants me to be his girlfriend” I announced and Evelyn clapped happily; “The CEO wants to date you! Oh my God, this is giving billionaire romance novels vibe” She beamed and jubilated.“No, no Evelyn, I am not happy about it, I’m really confused at the moment” I told her.“What’s there to be confused about? We have already discussed this, I told you to pretend, play along, just date him; fake dating!” She emphasized.“Oh well, fake friendship, fake this, fake that. Just so you know, Finn already figured out that I have been pretending to get along with him” I told him.“He figured out?” Adam exclaimed, surpris

Rita’s POV“When will you be done with what you’re caught up with in Canada?” I literally stormed into his DM. I remembered he had told me that he was caught up with something and that’s why can not travel down here soon.“I am working here, you know” Zane replied.“Which means we won’t meet forever unless you are ready to lose your Job?” I cross-interrogated, grumbling and furrowing my brows like could see me.“What are you suddenly talking about Rita? I will come to the states during the winter holiday then return to Canada again and I might even take you along with me” He responded.“Winter is about seven months away” I reminded him.“Yeah, Love waits” He said.“Zane, this isn’t about love. This is about us!!!”“Talk to me. You seem to be bothered about something!” He sent then he switched to voice call.“Like you said, when we finally meet; we will start preparing to get married immediately when we haven’t even enjoyed our dating stage” I sounded very perturbed.“But we are enjoyi

Rita’s POVI had no other conversation with Finn that day neither did he leave his office at all, not even during lunch period; he didn't show up at the restaurant. Poor Mr CEO, he must cried his heart out but one thing I am so sure of is that he will get over it eventually because that's how unrequited love works.I remember when I lost all contact with Jared, it felt like a one - sided love. Imagine being in love with someone but unable to hear from him, talk more of being sure if he still feels the same way for you. It's like I was left alone in a relationship and I already got over him already, I moved on. Finn had better move on too. It's just a matter of time.“You’re really not mad that I literally caused this silent treatment between you and Finn” Evelyn asked again for the zillion time that day while we were waiting at the bus stop.“I will eventually get this silent treatment from him one day because I was gonna turn him down atlas and let him know that I have a boyfriend. Y

Finn reluctantly did like his brother had said; he hesitated a little before he resumed. “I figured Rita has a boyfriend so she won't date me” Finn cried out. “Oh! Your poor heart!” Alex consoled. “But you are the love doctor!” “Funny how I cannot solve my own love life yet I can predict when two people are meant for each other, I also know when someone is in love with me; but the look in her eyes says she doesn't love me one bit Alex. Rita is in love with someone else” “Sorry. Maybe it failed when it revealed to you that Rita is yours” Alexander indirectly redicled him “No” Finn barked. “It has never for once failed me. Maybe this means she will come back to me finally but this is so heartbreaking that she will waste precious time with her so called boyfriend but, I will make sure that she's mine, she mustfall in love with me” Finn stumped his feet against the ground. “Uhm, Okay. Let's see if you can do that" Alex doubted him. “And what are you still doing here?” Finn suddenly
