Dani couldn’t believe her eyes. He was here in front of her apartment even though she warned him not to show up. The man never listens to anyone but himself. She blamed herself, if she had listened to Keira and had gone home with her like she had wanted, then she would not have had to come and face him again. She didn’t even know he knew where she lived. It wasn’t in her resume because she had long moved out of the address that she had been living in when she had first gotten the job. “What are you doing here?”Dani asked him again. He just stood there looking at her without saying a word. “I don’t know why you are here but please leave,”She said as she unlocked her door and walked in, she tried to close the door behind her but his leg on the way prevented that from happening. “Wha-“ “Where have you been and why are you just coming back when you didn’t even show up at work?”He asked. Cutting off whatever else that she had to say. Dani glared at him. “I don’t know why you are he
“I can’t believe I came all the way here just for you to school me. I came with an offer that any other person would have accepted without hesitating and yet you turned me down? Well, that’s your last chance. I tried to hold on to you but you clearly have a bigger fish now. I hope you don’t regret it,”He said in a dismissive tone that Dani was already so used to it so it didn’t bother her at all. “I hope you take what I said into consideration then you won’t have to be chasing me everywhere to get me to keep working for you as if I am some kind of executive in your company when all I was there was a secretary.”Dani responded. She could tell he was offended by what she was saying but she had no need or reason to back down. “You are all talk, Danielle, executive? You wish. I know one thing for sure, you are going to regret turning down my offer when that baby daddy that you thought would pay for your life going forward leaves you dry and hanging,”Dani glared at him. He was still on
Dani woke up in a happy mood, she hurriedly got ready even though she still had enough time before she had to be at the hospital. She wore a pretty flowery top and a mini jean skirt but later changed her mind and went with a pair of boyfriend jeans. She did a light makeup and left the house after making sure she looked okay, she drove to Keira’s house and waited for her to get ready. To beat the morning traffic, they left the house at seven-thirty even though her appointment was by ten am. They stopped at a bed and breakfast and ate a light breakfast. “My ex-boss came to my house last night,”She informed Keira as they ate. K almost spilled her tea. “What? How did he know where you live? I thought you said he had no idea, what did he want?”She questioned, wiping her lips and the tea she spilled off the table. “I don’t know how he knows but I am guessing he did his search; I should have known he would know. Anyway, he came offering so many things so that I can go back to working fo
“Are you sure? You might be mistaken,”Dani whispered. Her heartbeat increased in fear. She wasn’t ready for two babies at the moment. She never thought of that while making plans. She hoped she got it all wrong. “No, there are two of them, see, there are two very clear dots, if it is just one, then it would be one baby but there are two. It is very clear,”She pointed out. Dani saw the dots but still, she hoped that wasn’t the case. Not like she didn’t like the thought of having twins. It was just that she didn’t plan for two babies. “They look healthy and are growing nicely. The doctor will explain better when she sees your result,”The sonographer said. She continued working and talking to Dani as she went but Dani could barely hear what she was saying. The fear that she might really be pregnant with twins while only having funds for one weighed heavily on her. She didn’t even know when the sonographer finished. If Keira hadn’t touched her, she would not have been aware. The sono
“Alright, I will let you do whatever you want. Just know that I can be very lazy,”She said and handed her the keys. They got out of the car and switched places. “You are allowed to be lazy, two babies are growing inside of you,”Keira responded when they settled back into the car. “First, we go get you a new phone,”Keira suggested but Dani shook her head. “There is no point, I can use yours when I need to call someone. Though I don’t have anyone I would call. You already gave your contact to the hospital so they will call you instead. I don’t need a new phone right now. When I need one, I would get one,”Dani explained to which Keira agreed without questions. They first drove to her apartment so that she could get the stuff that she needed after which they went grocery shopping. By the time they got back to Keira’s house, it was already left so instead of cooking they made do with leftover food that Keira had in her fridge. Dani thanked Keira for spending her whole day with her
Luciano stared at the file in his hand and tried his best not to get angry at the fact that he was holding the wrong file when he made sure to inform the fucker who brought the file about what he actually wanted. In the same way, he has been carefully explaining what he wanted to be done over the last two weeks to avoid mistakes like this but in the past two weeks, there have been many times when they still manage to get what he wanted wrong. Of course, he had to calmly tell them to go and redo what he wanted. He was following what Danielle had told him when he went to her but even doing that didn’t make it any easier to work with them. He shook his head to clear out any thought of her and glared at his secretary. “Is this what I asked for?”He asked in a calm voice even though he didn’t feel calm at all. He was mad. Mad at everyone who worked for him. Mad at his directors and every executive, mad at himself, and most of all, he was mad at Danielle. Two weeks and he already lost a hu
“What nonsense are you talking about right now? What do you mean by that and what has your dispute got to do with my purchase?”Luciano angrily asked. Of all the reasons he thought they would have. He never thought a dispute within their family would be the reason. Why does that concern him in the first place when he already paid for what he wanted and already told his client he had it? “You don’t know what you are talking about, you better resolve whatever issues you have and don’t let it affect me in any way or you won’t like me,”He let out. “I am sorry sir, but I am just doing my job, if you want to speak to the people involved then you have to be here physically for the court proceedings.”The man over the phone said. “What court proceedings if you guys are talking about selling to other people?”Luciano questioned. “Let me explain. The properties that you wanted were owned by a man who recently passed away, the son who sold to you sold without getting full ownership of the p
Luciano looked around his city for the first time in three weeks, the issue that took him to France took more time than he had thought. He hated family disputes so much but he already paid so much for the properties and he didn’t want to leave and run at a loss. Plus, the client that he purchased the property for would have sued his company. The last thing he wanted was a legal battle that could have easily been avoided. He was back now and everything was sorted out. The brother who sold it to him won the case so he didn’t have to fight for it. If he hadn’t won, Luciano would have fought for the properties because he paid rightly for it. Thankfully that didn’t happen. But watching two brothers literally tear each other apart because of properties made him even more determined to work harder and also make sure when he does have kids, he will raise them in love and harmony. Make them independent enough not to resort to fighting each other. “What is on my schedule?”He asked his assist
