“I have to get go, I need to clean the house before Susan gets back,” Andrew proudly announced while changing back to the clothes he wore before. Greg was spellbound. Andrew didn't only learn how to cook, but also clean. Maybe Greg heard Andrew wrongly.“What did you say?” Greg pretended to be lost but Andrew saw through his amateur scheme.“Do you have a problem with it?” he questioned sarcastically. Greg composed himself. He dared not say anything against this Susan and rather said,“No. I just want you to approve these new documents. Some changes will have to be made because of the change of shareholders. I will be in my office to sort out the rest.” He began to stride to the door quickly to escape opposition. Andrew sat back in his executive swivel chair, took a closer look at the documents, and recalled something. “Check our real estate firm if they have a need for an architect.” Greg stopped in his tracks, the meaning of Andrew’s words caving in. Andrew had a lot in store for

As soon as Pete drove to his apartment after speaking to Andrew on the phone, he knew that the problem between Andrew and Susan had been resolved. He had intentionally refused to answer every call from the office, including that of his business girlfriend, Candice, who was furious and disturbed. It was already a painful matter for his inability to see Charlotte and wanted it all to end. He missed her and regretted jeopardizing their relationship.As soon as Pete entered his room, Candice barged in. She had been waiting eagerly since he hadn't shown up in the office and wasn't answering her calls. Was he stupid to get back with Charlotte? Candice wanted to know. Her usual sweetness didn't follow her, and anger gushed through her, she seethed,“Do you want to lose your job? Why weren't you in the office? You know that you don't qualify for the position of MD and only got it because of me. If this ever happens again, you'll get fired. For now, I created an excuse for you to my dad and he

“It was just as you predicted. Candice sent thugs after Charlotte. She must be mentally deranged like you guessed,” Greg began to explain. When the spies he had planted around Charlotte per Andrew's instruction called to inform him, he was greatly disturbed. Andrew didn't want Susan to be worried about anything but this happened, which meant that Susan was going to hear about it and get worried. Greg took it upon himself to inform Andrew first, just so that he'd be prepared.“And?” Andrew didn't just want to hear about the problem but the solution as well. Greg instantly regained himself and explained further.“Pete tried to save her and got hit by a bullet. He's in the hospital.”“How could you let that happen? Where is Charlotte?” Andrew was angry and yelled, forgetting that Susan was just a wall away. If Susan heard about this, she’ll spend all her time in the hospital with her friends.“Charlotte is with Pete at the hospital,” Greg lowered his head and said. He had failed Andrew

Susan not going to work was both a blessing and a curse. While Andrew took care of her and made sure she relaxed, he thought of a way to meet Candice's dad. If the former was away from the media for long, it might raise suspicions, since he was a public figure, which would only complicate matters.Beep BeepSusan's phone rang. “Might be from the office,” she said and went to answer it. She spoke a few words and hung up.“My boss was checking on me. She was just worried I won't be able to make it to the launch of a new company under our mother company, but I told her I was fit to return to work tomorrow.” She dropped the phone and went around to hug him.She pulled the collar of his pajamas shirt and trailed her slender fingers over his broad muscular chest. Andrew could feel himself hardening at her innocent actions.“I'll get you a new set of clothes for the launch because you are coming with me.” She didn’t have to ask or request. He was her boyfriend so it was a must.Andrew was ab

“What is the alarm at this time for?”Andrew seemed lost at the question, as nervousness flooded him. Well, when a bad lie was told, it required another bad one to cover it up. Andrew wasn’t a good liar and had forgotten about his first excuse when his phone rang. “What?” He didn’t answer the phone and asked.”Susan’s attention was on her environment since she was about to start the car, not noticing how brittle Andrew was. She clarified nonchalantly, “You said that you set the alarm at certain times of the day because the streets weren’t safe.” He realized that Susan might seem unfazed at times but never forgot everything he told her, including the lies. It was a hard realization, which was also painful. He cursed internally for forgetting something so important but was also relieved. He waited for Susan to start the car and while she checked the mirrors, he removed the phone, ended the call and turned it off, putting it back in his pocket.His eyes had caught the caller that it
