At the Bailey Native Home.Arthur and his wife spent most of their day in the bedroom. Nichole arranged the clothes she would put on the next day. Subsequently, she picked up a novel and began to read. Arthur was on the reading desk working, when he began to get calls from clients and partners, he moved to his study to avoid disturbing his wife who was reading her novel.“I will be at the study.”She nodded her head in the affirmative. Afterward, she slept off when she got tired of reading, while her husband joined her in the bedroom by 6:00 pm. He was able to settle most of the work that needed his attention, which he was unable to settle because of the appearance of people like Mr. Christopher Harry. At 7:00 pm, he woke his wife up for dinner.“Nichole, it is time for dinner.”Nichole opened her eyes slowly, she looked at the wall clock and discovered that it was 7:00 pm.“Wow!” She exclaimed. Then, she got off the bed and dressed up for dinner. At the dinner table, they discussed o
Tuesday Morning at DoverAfter sorting out Nichole's wears the previous night, they went to bed full of hope for the next day. They woke up in the morning at their usual waking time and prepared for their great day. After their breakfast, they walked out of the house to board their vehicle. To their surprise, Nichole's car was not at the parking lot. The, the bewildered Arthur turned to the security guard who was standing beside them and waiting for them to drive out, so he could lock the mini gate and asked, “Didn't Zoey return the vehicle yesterday?”“No boss.”“Why didn't you inform us?”“I am sorry, boss. I thought she informed you.”Now, Mr. Bailey looked at Nichole who was standing by the passenger's door before he walked to her, opened the door and remarked.“Maybe she drove to her house when she got off work.”“It is possible, but she should have kindly let me know.”Nichole pointed out before she got into the car. Mr. Bailey walked to the driver's side and got into the car to
“Mr. Edmonton, meet my boss, Mr. Louis Bailey. Boss, meet Mr. Rex Edmonton, the client I have been expecting from the USA.”Eric introduced. Likewise, Louis stretched out his hand to the surprised client, who accepted it for a handshake and said, “Welcome to my humble office, Mr. Edmonton. Kindly, take your seat.”He took his seat in amazement, as well as Eric.“Thank you, Mr. Bailey. I'm much honored to meet with you at last. I have heard so much about you.”Now, Louis chuckled and teased, “That is good. I hope that what you have heard about me are not negative things.”The three laughed and Mr. Edmonton continued, “To be candid, I was expecting…”“An old man,” Louis interrupted and completed his statement for him. He smiled and demanded.“How do you know what I wanted to say?”“I am aware of what you wanted to say because I am used to such remarks from clients. All the same, you are welcome. What do I offer you, tea or coffee?” Louis asked with finality, and Mr. Rex, Edmonton got
“Thank you, big sister. Thank you, brother-in-law. We appreciate."“Thank you, Uncle Phil and Aunty Freya. Do mention me to Daniel, please,” Olivia appreciated too.“I will. I will bring him over to see you this weekend.”“That will be fine. Let him come with his piano keyboard, please.”“I will. Bye.”Meanwhile, Arthur drew his newly wedded wife who was sitting on the passenger's seat to himself and gave her the kind of kiss he had wanted to give to her at the registry. Thereafter, he declared.“You are my legally married wife and nothing can separate us. You are mine forever.”“Yes. I am yours and you are mine.”“I will take you to work before I go to mine. You can flaunt that we are officially husband and wife. Did you get me?”“It is all right, hubby. I got you.”“You can give your colleagues a treat if you wish.”“All right, hubby. Then I will need to get some comestibles and drinks.”“It is all right. Let's go to the grocery.”They got to the grocery and bought all that they nee
With such statement, they concluded that she had married a grotesque and was hiding him, and that explained why she did not invite them. While they were chatting, she handed out their packs of comestibles and drinks to them. Both friends and foes, collected and appreciated. Then, Lorene Walker spoke,“Now that you are married, Arthur will consider remarrying. I am happy for you.”Nevertheless, Nichole gave a deaf ear to their jesting because they were the same group of people who taunted her often with repulsive comments like,(Arthur had refused to remarry because of your presence in his life. Why not remarry so that he can be free to remarry too?)Before, now, such idle talk hurt her, especially when she remembered that Arthur kept ignoring her. Now, she would absorb such comment and keep her head high as the legitimate and famous First Lady of the Bailey's Family. So, she did not give their idle talks a thought, and she concentrated on handing out the packs to her colleagues, and
Now, Louis logged in to the family platform to take a look at the pictures from the marriage ceremony. Then, his eyes went straight to his Olivia who was standing beside her husband, while Arthur and Nichole were standing in the middle. Freya and her husband also stood at the other side of the couple. He zoomed the photograph and fixed his eyes on Olivia's baby bump, which had protruded for a few seconds before he noticed that he was tearing up. To his surprise, Olivia was looking chubby and more beautiful, and her smile was captivating as usual.'Today, she is happy, while I am sad. Irony of life. I was smoking nonchalantly, while she was weeping the day she left my house.'Then, his secretary who he was working on a file with him before his father's call came in, and walked back to her office to give him the time to speak with his father, walked back to his office. To her perturbation, he was not aware that she walked into the office. He was staring at his phone while tears flowed
He took his seat while the doctor took his seat too. He allowed him to calm down before he asked questions that would distract him from Olivia.“I'm not aware that the chairman got married today?”“Yes. He did. It was a low-key wedding.”“I see. Then you should be happy.” Louis just smiled. The doctor was happy to see him smile, and proceeded with his questions.“Have you had your lunch?”“No. And I don't wish to have lunch from the canteen.”“Which one do you wish to have?”“Tea and biscuit would be OK.”“Can we go to your house for lunch? Since you like homemade food.” Louis laughed softly and asked the doctor. “Are you inviting yourself over to my house for lunch?”The doctor laughed too and responded, “Certainly because I offered you mine, and you declined, so your homemade food would suffice.”“Well, if you are not too busy, I would not mind.”The doctor, who had been writing while they were chatting, dropped his pen and inquired in an officious tone.“Can we talk, Mr. Bailey?”
Now, Nichole's phone had booted, and she began to go through her messages to check if there was any message from Zoey. The messages she got were mainly best wishes from her children and many other numbers that were not on her contact list. She looked at her husband, who was already upset, and said, “Hubby, she did not send any message to me.”“Kindly let me have the phone,” her husband requested.Now, she handed over her phone to him and laid on his thighs. Now, many thoughts went through his mind, but he did not wish to scare her by saying that Zoey must have been abducted, and the abductors may contact her for a ransom since it was her car that Zoey used. Out of curiosity, he carefully, read through the messages from the random numbers one after the other. His eyes beamed when he got to the message that Stephen Bailey sent to her. (Nichole, it is unfortunate that we have to meet like this. I had to take you away so that I can give you the love that you deserve. Arthur does not have
