Arriving in the car, her face was as white as a sheet of paper. Albert was worried as he handed her a bottle of water.
"What happened? Why do you look so pale?" He asked, his voice filled with concern.
"Just drive." Velma said in a weak voice. Albert did not say anything else and started the car.
Back in the hotel. Alvin did not know why his heart was stuffed the moment Velma walked out of that door. He could not bear to see her heartbroken but Winnie was holding onto him tightly and refusing to let go.
"Now that you have ended things with Velma, we can officially be together without any problem, right?" Winnie said lightly, fearing that she might hurt Alvin's feelings.
"Mmmm." He said absent mindedly.
He did not know what he was feeling but he knew that his heart was filled with regret. He did not know if he has made the right decision.
He actually knew Velma better than anyone else and she will never do anything to
When Brenda received the text containing the address, she was shocked. The place where Velma was, not anybody could get in. She knew that Velma were rich but not to the extent of affording a house in that place. The least price of a house in that district was in millions. Only the richest people in the country could afford a house in Karen estate. It was a home for most prominent business men and prominent politicians in the country. Casting away her doubts, Brenda took a taxi. Reaching the gates, she found someone waiting for her. Even the taxis were not allowed to hover around the area, the moment it dropped her, the driver drove away in a hurry. ''Are you miss Brenda?" The maid waiting for her asked politely. "Yes and you are?" Brenda asked. The maid did not answer her question and only smiled at politely. "Missus sent me to wait for you here, this way please." "Missus?" Brenda was shocked and looked at t
"The baby is too small. How do you hold it?" Brenda asked trying to hold Gift. He was just too small that she feared she might hurt him. After Velma taught her how to hold the baby well without hurting him, Brenda was delighted. She held the baby in her hands as she made funny faces at him. Although baby Gift could not understand, he smiled seeing that the person carrying him was smiling. Brenda was over the moon. "Velma, did you see that. He smiled at me. Did he recognize that I'm his godmother. Aaah his smiles... woah, this cute little thing will be a charmer when he grows up." "Stop exaggerating. He has not yet started to recognize people. He is still too young not even a month old." Velma said. Her eyes and smile were filled with motherly love. Albert walked down the stairs. Hearing the lady say that his baby boy was cute, his face bloomed with a warm smile. "Is this your friend." Albert asked when he reached where the ladies
"So you mean that after giving birth, you needed blood transfusion, you dad offered to donate but because your blood type doesn't match he concluded that you're not his daughter?" Brenda asked."That is what I was told when I woke up. I did not believe it untill Susan came flaunting how my dad has left me because I'm not his daughter. She played some tricks then the hospital threw me out.""You were away so I couldn't contact you. I was alone on the road and on the verge of giving up when Albert appeared. It so cold with a new born baby and no money. That was the most desperate moment of my life. I was even planning on abandoning my baby and maybe a good samaritan will pick him up but then he appeared.""I was guarded against him at first when I recognised him. I thought that he knew about my pregnancy and now he has come to take my baby away. But I fainted and when I woke up I was already here." Velma finished narrating her story.Brenda was so heartbrok
One month later, Velma was all recovered and was planning to start her new job at Albert's company."Today is your first day at work, are you nervous?" Albert asked as he saw the woman all dressed up and glistening. He was so mesmerized that he did not want to like away. The more he stayed with her, the more his feelings for her deepened."Of course I am. I'm going to meet new colleagues and new friends, I should probably be sweating buckets right now." Velma said honestly.It has been more than 11 months since she has stepped foot into an office or touched any work designs. When she got pregnant her father immediately forbade her from going to the company with the fear that she might hurt her baby. She stayed at home all through and never left even once."Thank you." Velma said. She knew very well that the Gulf Financial Group did not invest in jewellery, but because of her, Albert has taken a step forward to start in investing in jewelry. She is e
In the meeting, after Velma finished her presentation, the room was dead silent as everyone looked at her with amazement. She did not notice the wonder in their eyes as she became nervous."Have I overdone it? What will I do. Where did I mess up?" She thought as she looked at Albert who was sitting at the head of the huge conference table.Albert gave her a reassuring gaze and cleared his throat.The board members were jolted back to their senses by their CEO coughed. They looked slightly embarrassed as they have been lost in Velma's presentation.But they were old sly foxes so they could not show their embarrassment easily.Everyone started clapping in the conference room. Velma felt that her ears will definitely turn deaf."That was good, very good Miss Velma. I have always been a love of jewelry and seeing your designs, I fell in love with them. I think venturing into this business is a good idea." One of the executives gave his sin
"Director, did you call for me?" Lyne's assistant asked with caution. Her boss was rarely in a bad mood and she wondered what might have happened in the conference room earlier.Today's meeting entailed only the top management. Only Vice Presidents and Directors of importance departments in the company attended."Do you know about the woman who came today, the one the company wants to hire?" Lyne asked."I don't know but when I reached the company today I heard people saying that our president came in with a woman and when he spoke to her he had on a gentle expression and was very patient!""The president came in with her?" Lyne asked not believing what her assistant was saying. Everyone in the company knew that Albert had no patience while dealing with women, she wondered how that woman managed to do that even the president could bring her personally."The people said that they were even holding hands. But who would dare gossip about it. No one ca
It's been one month since Velma started working at Gulf Financial Group. Everything was going smoothly and she has hired a group of talented people to help in designing.Some who truly loved her from Lovelast have also joined her. Everything was going well for her and her life was great.She was looking through the final drafts when her phone suddenly rung. Looking at the caller, her face softened but her heart turned nervous."Hello Auntie.""Hello, do you still remember that I'm your auntie?" Alvin's mom voice came through the phone.Velma felt warmth flood her heart.This woman has always treated her like her own daughter since the first time she saw her. She was very kind and passionate and sometimes even neglected her own son just to be with her."No auntie, of course you are still the best auntie to me!" Velma said, her lips curling up in a happy arc."But why haven't you called me, it is a year since I have heard f
Eunice had already arrived at the agreed location and was drinking tea.She did not want to order before Velma arrived because the food would turn cold.As she was still pondering about what to order once Velma arrived, her cell phone suddenly rung."Auntie have you arrived?" Velma asked."Yes. Where are you?" Eunice asked."I'm sorry. There as an accident upfront so the road is temporarily sealed off. I will trouble auntie to wait a while longer because I need to change the route." Velma explained."Okay do not be in a hurry. Take you time and be careful." Eunice said over the phone."Okay thank you auntie for your understanding." Velma said and hung up the phone.After twenty minutes, she arrived at the hotel. She rushed to the private room she had booked without wasting time."Auntie..." Velma called out the moment she entered the room. Her face carried a sweet smile as she walked towards the table."You are he
