All Chapters of Circle of Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 22Audrey POV“So you finally decided to make good use of your talents eh?” Harry says to me when I get to his cafe. I get there early, just before the night customers start to troop in and the place turns lively.“It’s just a one time thing Harry,” I reply, bringing out my guitar from the box to tune the strings.Harry smiles at me. “Well, I hope to see you more often, you have a gift that a lot of people would give anything to have, I’ll never understand how you just want it to be a hobby.”I got my first guitar at the age of five as a gift from dad. I’ve always loved music growing up and dad found that I had an exceptional talent for it and as reluctant as I was at a young age to develop it, he hired a music coach and bought me a guitar so I could really become good at it.At Harry’s Cafe, he only serves his customers live music, mostly covers of popular songs and sometimes original songs too. Depending on the reception of the crowd, the singers get paid handsomely, especia

Chapter 24MY DELIMAAUDREY POVSandra is my friend or maybe I should call her my department friend, I really don’t have any close friends. My father is my best friend, yet Sandra is someone I can lean on and talk to, she didn’t abandon me like the rest of them.“What is happening to you? Hiding here like a scared little cat, I looked everywhere for you in the lecture halls to no avail, why are you avoiding me?”She wasn’t having it at all, I could see from the frown and confusion in her voice but I know she’s also aware of the answer deep down, we both know why I can’t show my face or stand tall like I used to.“Stop clamping your mouth shut and tell me what the real problem is, we all go through crises and problems so yours isn’t the newest or the first, I just need to know what’s really happening to you.”She must have followed me quietly immediately as we ended the class, knowing fully well that I will take to my heel immediately I sight her following me.“Ohoo Sandra you should n

Chapter 26UNEXPECTED FRIENDAUDREY POV“You mean he’s intentionally ignoring my calls and messages? How much more does he want to punish me, I disagreed with his terms when he asked but now he knows why I’m calling, why is he so proud?”Layla was watching me with serious eyes, trying to understand everything that I had been saying since we started talking.Although most of what I said were complaints and bitter thoughts, she sat with me and listened like I was passing some very important secret or information.No wonder the scary and formidable boss who changes personal assistants every year couldn’t change her, she’s perfect.“It’s better for both of us if you calm down and listen to what I have to say, stop beating yourself up about my boss, he didn’t just ignore you. He gave you the business line, the one connected to my table. It’s intentional!”This time it was my turn to stare blankly at Layla. I’m not so shocked that he would do that to me, I mean.. who am I in Zain’s life? I’

Chapter 28MOTHER FIGUREAUDREY POV“Diana, I will eat. Please don’t force it on me today as well, I’m missing my father so much but I can’t do anything to help my situation.”“I can’t even pick his calls, hearing his voice will break me totally and I don’t want that! Please just let me be.”I sounded a little bit harsh but as usual, the woman didn’t take it up on me, she took my tight hand across the kitchen huge slab and squeezed it softly, a wide and beautiful smile on her lips.The wrinkles around her face became more obvious, it made me realise how elderly she is, although we all call her Ma Diana, she asked me to stop calling her that.She’s here in Zain’s house to supervise and make sure everyone is doing their job, Diana is still very beautiful with shiny and smooth skin, Zain holds her in high esteem. I have seen him converse with her and he’s always so happy and relaxed when he speaks with her.“You don’t have to bother yourself about all of these, didn’t I discuss with you

Chapter 30I CAN'T BELIEVE ITAUDREY POV“When you told me on the phone I didn’t want to believe, but seeing as he told you about it by himself, I’m baffled, what is your boss trying to do?”It’s foolish but I’m feeling jealous and scared now, I don’t want him to talk to any of my friends or family, maybe it’s because of what happened between me and Raymond.Charlotte is not my friend or family, but she’s a known person, someone who had always teased me about taking my man and she did.“Are you really thinking about what they discussed? Because with that look on your face, I can see that you are pissed.”“But that’s what he wants, he knows I will tell you, the sole reason why he made sure to inform me, I won’t be surprised if he tells you by himself too.”Layla was having fun discussing it with me, there’s something else on her mind and I can see it through her smirk, it’s a naughty thought and I really don’t want to hear it.“Why go through all the trouble of talking to you and Sandr
