Amanda followed James to school as usual. It has been a routine which she couldn't escape as Eric had been busy these past days and hardly even comes out of his room except in the morning and night when he always comes to kiss James good morning and goodnight. James reminded her to tell Eric about his plans of them going on a father and son outing which Amanda agreed to do.As James came out of the car, he waved Amanda goodbye and didn't wait for her to do their usual routine and walked toward his class. Amanda couldn't help but smile, it was like James also knew she was in a hurry. The driver drove her back to the mansion.She decided to relate James' message to Eric first before quietly leaving the mansion to her home to wait for Kelvin. She checked the time as she came down from the car and started heading into the mansion. It was just past 8am, she knew Eric might have finished preparing for work but she decided to have a little conversation with him before he left for the office
After Kelvin left her apartment, Amanda decided to leave for the mansion too. She could not stop thinking about what Kelvin said to her, and she smiled to herself after remembering his confession.Who would believe he would end everything so soon with Juliet. They used to be best friends when he cheated on her. She had never wished they would end so soon because she did not want a situation where they thought she was the problem, that was why she had avoided seeing them after what happened.She was grateful at least she was able to move on without thinking much about Kelvin and was happy she was doing fine without Kelvin and Juliet.She got to the mansion around noon and decided to prepare a special lunch for James who was yet to return from school.She walked into the kitchen and met with Mrs.Robinson very busy arranging and organizing all the things that were being replaced. They shared a smile and exchanged pleasantries."How has your work been?" She asked Amanda while restocking
Amanda walked into the mansion and met Eric sitting in the living room which left her shocked beyond words. She wondered why he was still up at that moment and wished she could disappear because she didn't know what to tell him.Eric looked up at her and looked away, he was still burning with anger and rage, he didn't know what to do at the moment but because he didn't want to sound so harsh, he decided to ask her where she was coming from. Amanda lied that she went over to Mrs. Robinson's home to see her and her daughter Nina which got Eric angry because he had never thought Amanda would lie to him. He wanted to tell her that he saw her working in the club but kicked against it.He stood up and started climbing the stairs, without voicing another word. Amanda continued standing with her heart racing wildly, she didn't know if Eric had known about her working in the club again or if he just happened to stay up today based on the reasons best known to him but whichever one, she pray
James, Nina, Bella, Mrs. Robinson, and Amanda got to the store the next day and went to the security personnel's office."Good morning, " Mrs. Robinson greeted, she asked Amanda to allow her to settle things herself as she would act as James' mom. The security guard was surprised to see Amanda, Nina, and Bella before he remembered they were with James the previous day except for Amanda."Morning ma'am," Are you his guardian?" the security personnel asked. "Yes sir," I'm his mother," Mrs. Robinson replied. He gestured to them to sit on an available chair in the office."Has he explained why I asked him to bring you to my office?" The security personnel asked again."Yes sir, he has," Mrs. Robinson replied."Andrian," The security personnel called."Yes sir!" A young guy with a security uniform replied and came inside."Good morning ma'am," He greeted Mrs. Robinson and waved at Amanda which she returned."Morning Andrian," Mrs. Robinson replied with a smile."Go get Mrs. Bryan, from t
Eric was sitting in his office working on some documents that needed urgent attention but he found it hard to concentrate on them as his mind kept thinking of Amanda and he couldn't help but get angrier."How dare she lied to me?" Eric said with gritted teeth.The door to his office was pushed open. A beautiful-looking lady in her twenties walked in, Eric raised his head to see who dared enter his office without knocking." See who will be here," Eric said with a smile.Harvey sat before him with her eyes burning with anger. Eric looked away, not knowing what to say.She dropped her bag, walked up to him and crashed her lips on his, she had missed him and didn't know why he had avoided calling her all this while. Eric reciprocated without holding back and he kissed her with all the burning anger in him.He carried her and sat her down on his desk she faced him and he continued kissing her." What if anyone comes in, let's go to your private room, it will be better there," Harvey said
Amanda came back from work late as usual, on getting home, she saw Jams sitting in the living room watching TV. " James, why are you still up, " Amanda said, walking toward the couch."I miss you, you haven't been staying at home in the evenings, I just want to be up till you come back," James replied feeling sad. He didn't know where Amanda had been going but it looked like she had gotten another job that had been keeping her very busy in the evenings. He wondered if his dad was aware of it and when he became aware of it, how he would behave."I'm sorry honey, I'm working part-time. I got another job, I have to do it if I really want to meet up with my bills. I have a lot to take care of," Amanda said, feeling sad for James. Amanda knew how attached James is to her and how much they loved spending time with each other and she has been spending enough time with her." Are you planning to stop it anytime soon? Maybe you can have time for me again. I'm always lonely whenever you lea
Eric felt bad about how he treated Amanda and at the same time, he liked how disappointed she looked.He sat on the couch in his bedroom but that was the last thing he was thinking about at that moment, she deserved it. He had even had it in mind that she would tell her about the job she was doing but she didn't care about telling her. Eric believed Amanda was acting smart and she was acting innocent at the same time, he knew Amanda would never have expected him to find out about the job she was doing at the club.He removed his suit and his entire clothes and walked into the bathroom to have a warm bath. While in the bath, his phone started buzzing but he wondered who was calling him at that time of the day.He came out shortly after and reached for the phone and checked the caller ID, it was Harvey. He sighed lightly before he picked it up and put it on a loudspeaker."Hey, babe," Harvey's sweet voice over the phone."Hey!" Eric replied wondering why she was calling him again. He
Amanda and James went over to Mrs. Robinson's home. They met them having lunch together in the living room. Nina invited them to join, and Amanda let them know they just finished eating at home. After they finished eating, Amabdacdecided to ask Nina how Bella had been coping in her new school."Nina, how is Bella doing in school?" Amanda asked with a smile."I made sure she is always with me, so she has been coping fine without any difficulty," Nina replied, and Amanda sighed in relief."Bella is lucky to have you Nina and is happy she didn't feel different from others," Amanda said which made Bella look downwards. She always feels so bad as she wasn't like the rest and couldn't communicate too but she tried not to show it as Nina always made sure she was not alone or left out in whatever they were doing. James looked at her and felt so bad, she remembered how boring his life had been when he didn't have anyone to talk to before Amanda came. He wasn't dumb but it was difficult not
