THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 59. CRUEL FATES
Tolu and I left the dinner early since I was afraid to taste anything at the venue due to the trauma of someone lacing my food or drink with something else. We went to the hotel’s restaurant itself and had another meal which I ate in peace since it was sure no one would do anything to that one.“Do you want me to show you around Pennsylvania? I grew up here” she suggested and I agreed immediately since I didn’t have anything doing.Seeing her order for a cab, I countered her and claimed that it would be too expensive but she only chuckled. Pulling out her black card, she remarked “Even if the cab takes me through the whole of this country, this card will not feel the money deducted from it” My jaw dropped. I didn’t know the amount in the account but for her to make such a statement then she would be filthily rich.“I see… I understand” those words dragged out of my mouth and she smiled at my expression“I got adopted into a rich family and they take care of me like their own child.

THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 60. APART
PETALS’ POVI came back from the conference and slept throughout the weekend. Tolu got me exhausted to the core on the last day because of the tour we went on but I enjoyed them all so I couldn’t even blame her. As soon as my plane landed, I called Stanley to inform him that I was back but I would be staying indoor till Monday because I needed a proper rest and he told me to take all the time I wanted.I resumed work on Monday to find something surprising on my desk. There were series of letters and gifts from people I didn’t know their names but with the contents, they were my office coworkers.“Thank you for helping Vera rest in peace” “Vera is so lucky for having a replacement like you”“I’ll cheer you on just like I did for Vera”“I couldn’t protect Vera, thank you for protecting her even in her death” and many more.As I scanned through the letters and gifts, tears fell down my eyes. Vera had people who loved her too, she just might not know. She had people who wanted to dig out
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 61. TO BLOOM
Upon placing a call through to Pamela, she told me that she was at home and I wondered if I was either at the wrong address or she had moved again and didn’t inform me.“What do you mean by you are at home? I am in front of your door and your landlady said that you haven’t come here in ages” I argued“I am always at home, I only come in late and leave early so it’s understandable” she defended and a cab brought her to the front of the house in minutes“You said you were at home though” I still countered when she dropped down from the taxi“I thought you called before coming so I told you I would be around, I didn’t know that you were already in front of my house” she explained“Well, it’s great to see you again. Are you going to stand there all day?” I asked, opening my arms for a hug and she rushed into it.We both hugged each other tightly as we giggled and ranted about how much we have missed each other.“Let’s go in. We have a lot to catch up on” she said and we both went into the
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 62. STANDING UP
We finished the glass of wine in our hands and ran around the sea shore while giggling and holding unto each other. We needed no other definition anymore, it was clear what we are to each other now and to be honest, I still couldn’t believe that I had opened my heart again for Stanley.I had sworn never to get involved with him anymore in my life but being the funny bitch life was, I just had to get paired with him again and since my pride won’t put food on my table, I had no choice but to carve in to the circumstances surrounding my situation.“Do you want to sleep here or go back home?” he asked me as we settled down on the sand“It wouldn’t be bad to listen to the gentle sound of the waves as the night passes” I answered with a chuckle and he took that as a yes.The wind was becoming colder so we had no choice but to go back to the cabin and rest up for the night.He dropped me at home the following morning and I quickly got dressed up and packed everything I wanted before the Chai
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 63. RECONCILIATIONS
As soon as Bea carried the box out of the office and headed to the storage room, one of the guys from the construction department saw her heading there and rushed forward to caution her that she shouldn’t visit the room for that moment since construction had started.On getting there, she was already in the room and dropped the box but her leg collided with one of the planks on the floor and others came crashing. Thankfully, his intervention was timely as he rushed to stop the falling planks.“Get out right now” he yelled at her but she was frozen with horror as she shut her eyes tightly, waiting for her doom to come.“Right now! Get out of the door” another round of yelling sounded through the room and this time around, she was sane enough to hear and rush out of the door.“What do I do? How do I help you?” she panicked as she watched him struggling with the heavy planks “Just push the bell by your left side” he groaned, the weight of the planks dawning on himBea fidgeted as she pu
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 64. CURIOSITY
PETAL’S POVI was in my hotel room editing the final article that would be released on the night before the election when one of the aides came to inform me that my attention was needed by the Chairman.I was led to the garden where I saw the Chairman having a glass of wine with a woman who seemed to be in the political sector too as they talked about things I couldn’t hear due to the distance.“Come closer, it’s not like I’m unapproachable” he called out and motioned for me to come closer which I did hesitantlyHe turned back to the woman who was on a black knee length gown with a butterfly shaped chest. Her dressing was classic and one could tell from her milky skin that she enjoyed a thorough skincare routines.“Good evening” I greeted, as soon as I closed in on the gap between us“Is she the lady you told me about? She has an excellent writing skills that doesn’t befit her face” she remarked with a chuckle and the smile on my face disappeared.She must have noticed the change in m
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 65. FALLING
Monica was indeed standing before me as a completely different person. Everything about her had changed and I could barely recognize her if not that we have been friends for ages. Another shock swept me off my feet when I saw the person standing beside her.It was Marcus.My gaze swept from one person to the other as my mouth fell open, I couldn’t comprehend whatever it is that I was experiencing.“What is going on here? I mean, why are both of you together?” I managed to successfully ask without stutteringIt was at moment I noticed that they were on a couple shirt and the shock swept through me further.“By chance, it’s not what I am thinking about right?” I asked once again but she only kept staring at me.I was slowly getting annoyed with her silence, I couldn’t understand why she was only looking when there were millions of things she could say to answer my questions.“Are you being serious right now? How can you be with someone like this? Was this the happiness you wrote about f
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 66. LET'S BE CLASSY
The sight I saw got me shocked, I couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of me. There was never a time when I imagined that something like that could happen between the two of them.I had thought that they were only business partners and nothing else attached.“What if the madam see something like this? I just can’t stop myself from wondering who exactly the woman is and why she is so bold to do something disgusting in someone’s matrimonial home” I muttered to myself as I watched them from afar before my reporter’s instinct kicked in and I fished out my phone to get a shot.Immediately I got a shot, I sent it to Pamela and told her to keep it for me since I didn’t want it to remain on my phone should in case something happens. I wouldn’t want such a powerful piece of evidence in the gutter or the wrong hands.“This will be a powerful exclusive” I muttered before I returned to sightseeing before Marcus walked back to me and we went around together.We both talked in depth a
