"They came around and I couldn't send them off, but since we are all here we can all get acquitted," Mrs. Scott said going to take her seat."I am sorry about this, I wasn't aware," Hardin whispered into June's ear placing his hand behind her back. "If you want us to leave just say the word and -""No, we shouldn't," June said. She wasn't happy Emma was here, especially after their last discussion, she and Hardin joined them on the dining sit next to each other. The maids walked in on cue serving everyone as were about to start eating, "We should pray or don't you?" Emma smiled breaking the silence but June could sense she was up to no good. "And when did you start praying Emma?" Hardin asked raising his brow. "Shall we all eat," Mrs. Scott said digging into her food. "Hardin you didn't introduce us," Mrs. Watts said staring at June. "June, this is Mrs. Watts, Emma's mother," Hardin introduced reluctantly as he dug into his food. "Nice to meet you Ma," June nodded staring at Mrs

June rinsed her face in the bathroom, the cool water soothing her heated cheeks. She stared at her reflection, a mixture of nervousness and anger coursing through her. She couldn't believe how Mrs. Scott had just spoken to her, she knew it was because of Emma and her desire to have Hardin pick Emma over her. If she wanted Emma to be with Hardin so much, why did she have to invite her to this darn breakfast, June thought.As she dried her hand with a towel, she heard Hardin's voice coming from outside the bathroom door. "June, are you alright?" he asked, genuine concern in his tone."Yeah," she replied briefly staring at her reflection again, she couldn't do this, his mum clearly didn't like her. Their relationship wasn't going to work out this way, she thought fighting over a woman for Hardin would be the problem but it seemed Mrs. Scott was going to be it and she couldn't dare come between a son and his mother.She took a deep breath and opened the door. Hardin was waiting there, hi

"So, let me get this straight," Keir chuckled. "Your mother wants you to marry Yvonne, and the only Yvonne I know is your secretary. Is it your secretary?"Hardin, with an exasperated expression, nodded. "Yes, it's absurd, isn't it? She seems to think that Yvonne is the perfect match for me instead of June."Keir couldn't contain his laughter any longer, his voice echoing through the room. "I can't believe she chose your secretary of all people! Seems to me like she was trying to get on your nerves."Hardin's frustration was palpable as he replied, "Well she succeeded if that was her mission because I fired Yvonne afterward."Keir laughed some more before he wiped away a tear from his eye, still amused by the situation. "This is classic matchmaking gone wrong. I wish I had seen your face when she told you."Hardin stared at Keir as he shook his head, his lips curling into a smile as he laughed out. It was a serious issue but looking at it from Keir's perspective it was funny no doubt.

"I understand you want us to get to business but that doesn't mean we should act as strangers June," Conrad said. "So, how are you?"June stared at him, he was right, she didn't need to be uptight. It was just a business meeting and nothing serious, it wasn't like she knew he would be here. She leaned back into her chair, "Fine, doing much better since the last time we met.""I can see that, and I am proud of you June. I always knew you had it in you.""Thank you.""I just wished we kept on trying to work things out back then, you just shut me off completely," Conrad frowned leaning forward on the table. "But I understood later that you wanted to figure things out for yourself and I respect that.""Good.""So, are you seeing someone?""Yes, I have a boyfriend and I assume you are in a relationship too.""Lucky for you I am not," Conrad smiled. "How does it make me lucky?" June raised her brow and rolled her eyes at him, he had always been too confident in himself, sometimes it was a

"Hardin!" She called out to him, her heart pounding in her chest, her breath hitching as she called after him. She followed him quickly to his car, "Wait."Hardin paid no attention to her, he got into his car reached for his phone in his pocket, and sent a message to Keir who he assumed was still waiting for him in the restaurant.[Heading home, we can do this some other time.] He couldn't just stay chill right now, he needed to get home and process his thoughts. The passenger door suddenly opened as June got in and sat down, he looked at June, surprised that she followed him. "June," he said, his voice low and menacing, "please, just get out of the car. We don't need to go back and forth on this, it's clear what you want."June's eyes welled up with tears, maybe she had been too harsh with her words since Hardin came into her life but it was because she wasn't certain of his feelings or maybe she was just scared that she would never meet the standard of women in his life. In that m

Hardin stared at June as his lips curled into a smile, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, as he withdrew from the kiss he was about to say something when his phone began to ring.“Excuse me,” he said reaching for his phone as he picked up the call. “Yes,” he said waiting for the caller to speak, he remained silent listening before speaking, “Alright, I will be there soon,” he said disconnecting the call as he dropped his phone and started the car engine.“What is the matter?” June asked wondering who he had been speaking to on the phone. “They found out who bugged my phone and my car,” Hardin replied turning back on the road, he needed to get there to see them first and give them a piece of his mind before handing them over to the police.“Oh, that’s good,” June said in a low voice, she was happy that they had found the person but she was looking forward to Hardin popping the question.“About our discussion, I will do it the right way okay my love?” he said staring at her

“Fine,” June said opening the door for him to step in.“Who is it?” Octavia asked as Conrad stepped in, “Oh.”“Hi,” Conrad said but Octavia paid no response to him, after what June had told her about what he did the other day, she didn’t want to associate with him. “What is he doing here?” She asked June.“Could you excuse us?” June said hoping Octavia wouldn’t make a scene.“If you try anything silly, I won’t hesitate to have you locked up,” Octavia warned throwing a mean glare at Conrad before she got up on her feet and walked inside.“Your friend seems very protective of you,” Conrad said losing the front button of his suit as he sat down staring around the living room in awe.“So, what is it that you wanted to discuss with me?” June asked taking her seat opposite him.“I am sorry about the kiss, I didn’t know you had a man, if I did I wouldn’t have…”“I hope you are listening to yourself as you speak, so if I didn’t have a man you would have taken advantage of me, is that what yo

Hardin awoke, disoriented and groggy, he attempted to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his chest, and stomach forcing him back down onto the uncomfortable bed.As his eyes adjusted to the surroundings, he realized he was in a hospital room and noticed a familiar face sitting in a chair beside his bed, her head lay peacefully beside his leg and she was asleep.He stretched his hand placing it on her head, caressing it softly his lips curled into a smile. "Hmm," June breathed out slowly as she opened her eyes to stare at him. Conrad tried to get the bullet out but he was unable to stop the bleeding and they rushed him to the hospital immediately."How are you feeling?" June said softly, her voice soothing like a gentle breeze. "You're in the hospital, but you're going to be okay."Hardin's heart raced as he tried to piece together the fragments of his memory. The last thing he remembered was a gunshot ringing out in the darkness. Panic set in, and he stammered, "Could I make a call
