‘Hello, Clinton’, Sophia said, sitting right on the chair in front of Clinton. ‘Hello, Sophia. Seems like you are not in a good mood today but anyways, you look stunning’, Cliton said, complimenting Sophia’s body while at the same time, looking at her frowning face. ‘I am good. Someone just pissed me off. So, how is the arrangement to meet with your dad going?’, Sophia asked. ‘It’s going well. I plan for you two to meet at my upcoming birthday party but before then, I will have told him about you. Don’t worry baby, the collaboration will be yours’, Clinton said with deceit, which Sophia was oblivious of. ‘Ok, that’s what I came here to ask. I would like to be on my way now’, Sophia said, aiming for her bag. ‘Going? Without playing with your baby?’, Clinton said, winking. ‘I am not in for this today. Maybe next time’, Sophia said, getting up from her seat and planning on leaving. ‘Don’t worry baby, I will put you in the mood’, Clinton said, holding Sophia’s hand and kissi
Walking back to Edward’s office, the only thing Ellie thought of was how to stop Kevin. She was at the crossroads as she didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want Edward to get hurt and at the same time, she didn’t want to go back to Kevin. Opening Edward’s office door quietly, she peeped, looking at Edward who was reviewing some files. She couldn’t think of being separated from Edward and at the same time, she didn’t want her child to grow up without his/her father just like she did. She kept ruminating of a way out of the mess she had gotten herself into. She at first, thought of opening up to Edward about her dark past but she changed her mind after thinking of how hurt he would be. 'He has been hurt enough, I don't want to be the source of his pain. Growing up without his mother, witnessing his father betraying his mother and his wife cheating on him with his bestfriend is such a painful memory. He finds solace in me as I do in him too. I want to be his source of happiness and com
Everything was going on well for Ellie and the plan she had set in motion was moving well in her favor. She was still worried about how to handle Kevin but at the same time, she was focused on getting Daniel's approval and the only way to get that was to make the collaboration with the Oswell Fashion Group happen. Since the day she met with Natalia, she hadn't gotten in touch with her to give her the feedback on what she had proposed, as Edward had advised Ellie not to. Edward wanted Natalia to be the one eager to meet Ellie and not the other way around, hence, the reason he advised Ellie not to communicate with her for days. This suggestion of Edward actually worked as Natalia couldn't hide her excitement the day Ellie finally called.'Hello, may I know who this is?', Natalia had said the day Ellie called.'Hello, Natalia. This is Ellie, the lady you met at the mall …..', Elle said, trying to explain herself but couldn't finish her statement as she was cut short by Natalia.'You do no
On her way back to the office, Ellie's phone rang and it was Clinton on the line.'Wow, I salute you. You are such a goal getter', Clinton said, before Ellie could say anything.'I was just about calling you. Collins agreed to the collaboration. I am so happy right now', Ellie said with excitement as she couldn't hide her joy.'I just got informed by dad and which is the reason I am calling you. I heard the collaboration will be finalized on my birthday. What a great day that would be. But, I sincerely admire your courage and determination. You are one special being, I must say', Clinton said.'It's all thanks to you. If not for you, I wouldn't have had the idea of getting close to Natalia. I owe you one', Ellie said, smiling.'My phone has been buzzing since. Sophia is aiming for my life right now. How did she get to know about the collaboration?', Clinton asked.'I was about asking you that. She came over to our meeting place and she was there when Collins made his intention known.
"So, what do you need me for? Is it about Ellie?" Kevin asked."This meeting wouldn't take long since you already know why I asked to meet with you. I saw you with her the other day at the company. You two seem to go a long way. I want to know your relationship with her and what you know about her, not for free though. Name anything you want, I'm in for it," Sophia said."What if I do not want to divulge any information to you and what if I tell you I do not need anything from you?" Kevin asked."Are you sure you do not want anything from me? I can pay you with my body if you want, as long as you are willing to give the information I need," Sophia said."Nothing interests me about your body. If you do not have anything else to say, then I think it is high time I left," Kevin said, standing up, ready to leave."What about giving it a thought and getting back to me? Here is my card. You can call me if you have a change of heart.""I do not want your card. I know how to find you if I am
That morning, before Ellie left home with Edward, she stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself. She wore a long white gown which was an exquisite piece of artistry, crafted from the finest silk, Her hair was curled in waves, dangling down her neck. She wore a silver necklace which was gotten for her by Edward to compliment the dress. She looked like a fairy princess she had always been before her mother passed away.Her mother, a designer, always made sure she adorned her with beautiful dresses. The gown she was putting on was the sketch she had drawn a day before her mother died and was planning to show her the night she was burnt to death. The thought of her mother made tears rolled down her eyes, bringing back the memories of her childhood with her mother. Ellie felt that day was a big day for her. In memory of her deceased mother, she had replicated the sketch into the dress she was putting on. She had thought that day was a day that would bring ease to her worried soul, a d
'Hello, everyone. My name is Ellie and I am a representative of Lions Fashion Group. I will be taking you through the collaboration process today. We will kick start the process right away but before we dive right into the business, I will like to appreciate you all for taking your time to attend this event. You all are wonderful and unique people', Ellie said, which made everyone applaud her. This got Sophia angry as that was not what she had anticipated.'Thank you, everyone. So, we will be kick-starting right away. But I am so sorry I will be disappointing everyone today as I have a confession to make', Ellie said in a sad voice which got the audience confused and they wondered what she was talking about. Edward on the other hand, wondered what trick Ellie was trying to pull.'What is that witch trying to pull?', Sophia had thought.'Actually, the initial designs and dresses which were suppose to be presented today were not made by me neither by our Fashion Team', Ellie said, which
"What? I don't understand what you are talking about," Ellie said to Clinton, who was still kneeling in front of her."I love you so much, Ellie. I have been meaning to tell you this, but I didn't know how you would react, which is why I stopped myself from telling you. But now, I can't hide it anymore," Clinton explained."Were you aware of this?" Natalia, who was in the dark, asked her husband, Collins."He actually told me about his feelings for her and his intention to propose just a few days ago," Collins responded."And you didn't notify me? I would have somehow prepared her mind. I am sure she is shocked and confused right now," she said.Ellie, who was confused, just stood still. She didn't know what to do. All eyes were on her, waiting to hear her response. She didn't want to embarrass Clinton in public and at the same time, didn't want to betray Edward. She looked in the direction of Edward, whose eyes were on her, and she could see jealousy in his eyes and him waiting for h
