Rachel’s attempt to get the old man’s full attention was successful judging by the fullness of his weak eyes on her.With a sly movement from her end, Rachel wiped the imaginary tears from her eyes and started; “Grandfather, I know I shouldn’t be telling you this since Rhett hasn’t briefed you about it yet but I can’t take this anymore” “You’re still not talking Rachel, you don’t have to continue crying when I’m here listening to you” “Apologies grandfather. It’s just that my stepsister is back in town and she’s been threatening my position since she got back” She explained.“What? How? I thought she was reported dead 2 years ago after she disappeared without traces” “We all thought she was dead until she showed up alive. That girl didn’t even visit the family that took care of her for once, she’s hell-bent on seducing Rhett and taking revenge on me” Rachel’s brows drew together in anxiety and her hands grabbed onto the old man’s hand desperately.The old man gently removed his ha

“Ugh…I shouldn’t have taken that milk” Young Kristian groaned in pain with his fistful hand clenching his tummy. It’s been a while since he had homemade food and he seems to have eaten beyond his usual diet at dinner.He could not stop turning and churning in bed and at first, he thought of alerting his mother but that was soon replaced with fear of worrying her in the middle of the night so he decided to visit the restroom first.Kristian struggled to get off the bed, the urgency of his plight overshadowed his sleepy motion.Some minutes later, he was done.He heaved a sigh of comfort the moment he arrived in the cool space of his room. He stretched his body and was about to go to bed when his hand pressed against an almost invisible button while aiming for the light switch.Taken aback by a faint robotic sound and the light bulb still shining bright in the room, Kristian gasped when he saw a space opened up in the wall and a box came into view.“Wowwww” Kristian dragged his amusemen

“What do you mean to say, Kristian? come to think of it, you don’t share his last name. Silly me” Miss Smith mumbled.“You’re from a prominent family so you must have met him one way or the other. I think I get it now.” She added with a smile.Kristian then had a rethink. If that’s what his teacher wants to believe then it’s probably for the best. He just wanted to talk to the nice man he had met countless times and in those meetings he had developed a liking for him not knowing that he was no one else but his biological father. The excitement was there and for containing it this well only proves how strong and intelligent he is at his age.“You may return to your seats” Junior grabbed Kristian’s hand dragging him back to their chairs.“I hope he finds me before leaving…” he thought to himself staring at the window.^^10 minutes later^^Rhett didn’t know he could come up with a perfect excuse that made sense for the situation he found himself in.The offer he made was surely going t

As Ashley arrived at the top floor of the building where the meeting would take place, she halted in her steps to size up her environment. With her body balanced on the side of her waist in style, Ashley pulled her glasses slightly below her nose bridge to access the meeting room when she saw some staff entering and a man setting up the projector.“Hm!” she huffed sharply and with pride; “Guess I’m not late after all” she uttered.With a swift movement of her arms, the droopy beaded work on her well-tailored blazer swirls around freely giving her a strong and sophisticated look. There’s no doubt the aura she emits from her presence alone even without doing much but this morning, her goal is to power her confidence to the highest level to intimidate anyone who would dare to come close to holding any meaningless conversation with her and her dress sure didn’t disappoint.Decked in a well-tailored blazer with matching trousers that accentuate her most beautiful feature; her long legs. As

Optimist walked away from Rachel with a strangely cold demeanor that made her blanch. She scoffed at his receding figure as she decided to do exactly what she was warned against.Rachel pushed open the door and entered into Rhett’s office. Closing the door behind her, she smiled hoping to meet Rhett’s face but surprisingly, could not find anyone on the seat.Her brows drew together in confusion. “Optimist said he was inside” she muttered as she strolled further inside with aim of checking the restroom before leaving but then the restroom door opened to reveal Rhett and Rachel staggered back in shock.“What do you think you’re doing?” Rhett questioned, his brows snapped together in annoyance.“I just wanted to check if you’re in there since I couldn’t find you on the seat,” she said dryly, her eyes kept down from embarrassment but only then did they wander to the medicine bottle in Rhett’s hand and she stared at it curiously, long enough for Rhett to notice and he hides it away from h
