/Brian’s POV/“I have been trying to keep calm since yesterday, but at this point, I don’t think I can keep calm anymore because Meelah seems to be talking to everyone apart from me and at this point, I need to be sure that I am not the one overthinking things,” I mutter as I take my phone to talk dial Elliot’s number. “So you remember that I still exist,” he says as soon as he picks up the call “What is that supposed to mean?” I question him. “You abandoned and neglected me because of your family getaway, and now that the family getaway is over, you remember about my existence?” He scoffs.“You know that is not true…. I have just been busy with a lot of stuff,” I try to explain. “Don’t form being busy for me because I saw snippets from the family dinner, including the live video where you entered the kitchen to join Meelah in the cooking, so contrary to the picture that you are trying to paint, I know that you had soo much fun without me,” he complains“The snippets you saw were e
/Brian’s POV/My phone starts to beep continuously, so I stop my work midway to check who is sending me messages at such an hour.As soon as I double tap my phone and I realize that there are 6 unread messages from Elliot, I drop what I am doing with immediate effect as I unblock the phone with my Face ID so that I can check the content of the message ASAP“Update!!” he starts.“Immediately I got off the call with you, I called my girlfriend to ask her when last she spoke to Meelah and I were told that it was on Friday,” “I knew it was very unlikely that she was well acquainted with the situation at hand, but I still wanted to prove what was going on so I asked her if Meelah had or still had any complicated relationship with anyone before she married you, and I was informed that after the last boy issue was the one that cast when she was in uni,” I read and that makes me remember the messy situation that happened then.“I wasn’t satisfied with the answer I got so I went ahead if Meel
/Brian’s POV/“I am so sorry that you had to wait outside for so long sir….I was on call when she came in, and instead of just ushering you in, she waited for me to finish what I was doing,” I apologize to my father as soon as I see him. “It is fine….I insisted on going through the normal procedure,” he waves the issue like it is nothing. “Are you free enough to talk now?” He inquires. “Yes sir,” I answer him almost immediately because this is the first time my father is paying a visit to the office since he retired, and for some reason, I just don’t know how to act around him because Instead of seeing him like just the father that we used to have issues with, now that I have walked in his shoes for a few weeks I can’t help but respect him more. “This way sir,” I gesture for him to take the lead as we walk towards my office together. “This place has not changed one bit,” he says as soon as he steps foot into the office looking around. “I love the interior of the office so I decid
/Meelah’s POV/After ending the call abruptly with Eden the previous night, she didn’t try to call me again which I was thankful for, but my phone started beeping with different notifications popping up from Eden which confirmed the fact that she took me seriously when I agreed to get lessons on how to deal with my husband's obnoxious ex from her, so I just had to turn my data off before I dropped my phone. I was so focused on unveiling the gift items after I dropped my phone, but on realizing that it was a major wrong move, I stylishly went to where I kept my phone and I started playing music because my AirPods were still in my ears, and I didn’t want to end up involving myself in a conversation with Brian.I felt like I needed to apologize to Brain that I was caught up in my emotions and was muddled which was why I kissed him, but he doesn’t have to take the kiss personally because it is a mistake and nothing like that was ever going to happen between us again, but I decided against
/Meelah’s POV/Monday was quite a good start, especially when I didn’t get myself involved in any drama with anyone, I didn’t have so much work to do, but towards the close of work, Brian Kings asked to see me and when I got to his office he informed me that I should prepare for an annual general meeting that is scheduled to hold today. At first, I thought that the thought of him seeing me so calm and relaxed without having any major deadlines to meet up with, for the first time in Almost a month annoyed him, but he was dead serious about the general meeting, and again I had to start rushing to organize the venue, and set everything in place for the general meeting because this is the first general meeting in Kings' Corporation that I was going to be preparing for in my life, and I had Zero experience. My gut feeling kept on telling me that something was going to go wrong, so I got in touch with Mr Kings' special assistant to ask her for a few pointers and advice on what I needed to
/Brian’s POV/“Hey man,” Elliot says as soon as he walks into the restaurant and I check my wristwatch to check the time.“7:30!”“Like seriously?” I question him and he scoffs as he draws the chair to take his seat. “We agreed to meet up by 6:30 and you are showing up an hour later?” I question him feeling unimpressed by how non challant he is that he wasted my precious time.“In my defense….” He raises his hands in defense.“ I already had plans with my girlfriend before you called me and told me that we have a situation and that the type of situation that we have is not the type that you want to talk about over the phone,” he Justifies while I look at him waiting for him to land before I pounce on him.“I could have just told you that I didn’t have time to meet up with you, but you made it sound urgent and I wouldn’t like you to start bull-shitting me in the nearest feature that I was not there for you when you needed me the most which is why I ran here after sorting my girlfriend
\Meelah’s POV\After being made to feel stupid by Brian and like a total failure by my mother-in-law on Wednesday, I needed a way to vent, and the last thing I would have wanted in this life was to put a call through to my girls because I just like me, they had stuff going on in their lives, and it won’t make any sense for me to put everyone in a bad mood just because things were going sideways for me, so I went to mine and Brian’s bedroom to sleep but the more I laid on the bed, everything I could think about was how Brian kickstarted my day by overreacting to the perfume that was supposed to boost my confidence, so I ended up smashing the perfume bottle into the wall hoping it will make feel better but it barely did anything for me.I tried to snap out of the negative emotions that I was feeling so that I could be prepared for the next day’s work, but nothing seemed to be working so I resorted to something that I wouldn’t normally resort to just to escape my problems even if it was t
Everyone in this house except for me stayed up all night trying to help with the outfit and everything because my fashion enthusiast friend decided to make an outfit for me from scratch after she found out about the movie premier at the dying minute and she had got her team of designers here as early as 5 am to help with the process of making me an outfit despite my protest that it wasn’t necessary.Brian's sister also showed up with her team of makeup artists, hairstylists, and nail technicians, just to get me dolled up for the event, and I have been sitting here since I took my bath while they dress me up like a doll.“Your bestie wants to talk to you,” Aurora says, handing me her phone hours later after I sat to get my hair, nails, and makeup done without being allowed to check the mirror. “Are you not scared that I will see myself through the camera of the phone?” I question Aurora and that makes Elva block the camera from my view.“I still stand on the existing protocol that I w
