“Hey son! You back so early, I thought you were gonna stay for a few more days with your mom?”, Mr Robert asked immediately jothan walks in and he walked towards him to give him a very big hug. “Yeah, I thought to come get one of these superb hugs instead, so I came over and changed plans”, jothan lied. But I sincerely craved this warm hug but it’s just so sympathetic that I expected it from the one person it would be hard to get it from. “You don’t look so good, are you sure you are okay?”, He asked quite worried. I haven’t been the best dad to jothan but I’ll like to show him that I do care and love him. His presence only reminds me of the pains I caused my late wife and Damon who is finding it so hard to forgive me. “If only Olivia was still alive, she made sure Damon and jothan played together and not have issues among themselves.”, he thought deeply to himself with pains in his chest. “I’m good, dad. I guess I am just tired from the flight? And I’m happy i am finally home n
“Hey Naomi, what’s up! You’ve been extremely quiet and your cheeks looked all flushed up”, Daniel asked Naomi with a hidden smile on his face and his eyes raised up slightly. “Yeah I’m cool, thanks a lot”,I added trying to avoid eye contact with Daniel. “I heard you came in with the boss? How true is that?”, Daniel purposely asked when he could already read the signs and know for a fact that something happened. “Really? Don’t give me that look, we only just came in together. It’s possible to arrive at the same time right?”, I asked, trying to pretend because Daniel's face told me he could already tell what happened. And my face was already giving me away, I wouldn’t stop blushing as the images of what happened between me and Damon kept rushing back to me every now and then. I’m scared I won’t know how to face him after what happened between us and I don’t even know how he will react to me at work. “You both came in together Naomi, you were clearly in his car, you don’t think we
“I clearly saw Naomi stepping out of Damon’s car! Has she been with him all these while ?!”, she asked Nora with fury. “I thought you didn’t exactly care what I have to say and you didn’t want to be around me if I wasn’t in support of your actions”, Nora spelt out. “This is really serious, and besides you are supposed to be on my side no matter what happens”, Sophie said with a frown on her face. “Don’t act like that now, and I’m not entirely in the mood for all this”, nora added remembering the fact that jothan was in town and crossing paths with him would be very awkward. “I did noticed that you looked all gloomy but can we focus on me first”, Sophie muttured being her true self. It’s always going to be me first and what I want first before anything else. “Really? You don’t even know if what I’m going through could be really threatening to me and quite disturbing or if I was suffering from great Depression?”Nora asked, throwing the questions at Sophie as she was quite disa
“The dinner you promised to have with my dad is this weekend, you don’t have to come though”, Damon muttured “Why shouldn’t I? I remember promising your dad I will when your family is complete”, I responded. “Well you’ve been acting really weird all week, like you were trying to avoid not being seen with me?”Damon uttered as he stared at me searching for an answer. “That’s because we are supposed to be professional at work and besides you are the boss you won’t want others to have a wrong opinion about you, will you ?” “You shouldn’t have to worry about that, I’m the boss and nothing would go wrong. You know CEO’s still fall in love right? And it’s no harm if I am in love with my secretary”, Damon confessed his feelings with his eyes still on me as he drew close to me and placed a kiss on my forehead. “Are you sure about this? I think it’s all happening too fast”, I said as I was very uncomfortable with Damon finally confessing that he loves me. “It’s just right, you know I love
“Hey Naomi! Good to see you again, how are you doing?”, Mr Robert asked me excitedly. “I’m very good and you?”, I asked immediately as I was happy to see him again. “I was really hoping you could make it for dinner, and I’m very glad you made it”,He added very excitedly. “Yeah I didn’t forget about it, and I’m happy to be here”“Okay dinner would begin shortly in about 20 mins, so just get comfortable while the boys come down and our other guests show up and by the way you look very beautiful. I do hope my boys could concentrate on their dinner”, he added while laughing. “Thank you so much for the compliments Mr Robert and I do hope they can concentrate too”, I said joining in the laugh. “Wait.. does that mean Damon’s step brother is around?! Mrs Stone's son?! Am I supposed to be nervous or what?”, I asked myself really confused as I could not really understand what I should do. “Hey pretty! Are you the dinner?!”, Phil uttured walking closer to me with a smile on his face. “Hey
“It was nice having you guys for dinner and thank you for accepting my invite”, Mr Robert said facing the guests. “I guess I’ll leave you guys to it, and let the younger ones enjoy the rest of their evening”, he added and proceeded to take his leave upstairs. “It was a lovely dinner, thank you very much sir”, Sophie added immediately Mr Robert went upstairs. “You are welcome”, Damon added plainly as he took his gaze back to me. “Thanks for having me too”, I appreciated damon and jothan. Maybe Mrs stone didn’t say anything to her son because he didn’t look at like an accomplice or like he knows me or anything. Or was I expecting too much? Jothan Seems like a lovely kid and was joyous through the dinner and gave me lots of smiles, the only thing that seemed weird was when he raised his head suddenly to him and had a funny look on. “Can I drop you at home?”, Phil asked before anyone else would ask. “Hmmm no I’m fine, I can find my way”, I replied as I noticed Damon staring at me
Jothan’s pov It was nice having dinner with Damon and my dad and I was definitely glad it didn’t have to be just us tonight. It was another beautiful night I got to pretend I didn’t remember the fact that I am someone’s mistake and a thorn in their family. I tried every time to cover up with a smile and definitely became the funny one. Everything was going absolutely fine and lovely, seeing wonderful and beautiful faces. Naomi is actually a very striking beauty and I could see it wasn’t just a race for only damon. Well I’m happy for Damon, he was boldly fighting for a lady for the first time in how long. Since his mom's death, he couldn’t care less for any other lady and put a great distance to any lady. If there’s anyone who knows Damon more than his mom and Daniel then it’s me. He was extremely down and was very scared of getting too close to any lady who would want to replace his mom and he wasn’t ready to give anyone that space in his heart. His mom has a special place in
It’s like I’m cursed by Mrs Stone to never have a nice time without worries. Only when I finally relaxed and thought I was having a lovely dinner, trying my very best to avoid stares from Phil and avoiding Damon’s face so I don’t accidentally spill my food because I’ll be in a whole different world thinking about just him. I was quite nervous about jothan, but I was a lot calm when he looked nothing like his mom and even seemed like he couldn’t recognize me or rather knows anything about me because this was our first meeting right? It felt like the ground should open up and swallow me up when he said I shouldn’t join hands in bringing someone down. Does he think I’ll do that willingly? Well I wouldn’t do it purposely now I know he’s rudeness was tied to something deep even If it’s not entirely an excuse. I clearly heard him mentioning or saying something about destroying someone again? It definitely is Damon and the only first destroying I know is his mom. If Mrs stone could do
