Isabella's POVThelma took a while in the bathroom, you might think she was washing away all of her sins for taking so much time in the bathroom.By the time she eventually got out, I had already given up on waiting for her.I went into Nate's study to get a book to read.It was when I returned to the room from the study I met Thelma in the room, finally out of the bathroom.What were you doing in the bathroom for that long? I asked herWere you trying to wash away all of your sins in one day? I teased her again.She just gave a little laugh before turning to me.I usually take time in the bathroom and I'm sure you know this already, so what's the fuss about, she said as she rolled her eyes at me.And by the way, where did you go?I didn't see you when I got out of the bathroom.Where were you and what's that you have in your hand, she asked as she pointed at the book I was holding.Oh this…it's a book, I got bored and tired of waiting for you so I went to Nate's study to get a book t
Isabella's POVI froze in that instant as I wasn't expecting Nate to pick up his call.It had been ringing for over a minute and I thought he wasn't going to answer it.Thelma looked at me suspiciously and told me to speak.On the other end, I heard Nate's voice, his manly voice, it sent chills all over my body.I can't believe this is happening right now though.“Hello, hello, he said to me while Thelma was prompting me to answer him.I gave in after a few seconds of fear and doubt.Hi…uhm hello, I was stuttering.Whose is on the line please, he asked sharply.Oh sorry, it's Isabella.Your maid, Isabella.Thelma hit me for referring to myself as the maid.I don't know what she was expecting me to say.Would I have introduced myself to him as his girlfriend? Who wouldn't have his own girlfriend's number?Why doesn't he have my number all this while?That's not too much to ask right or is it?I thought to myself as I listened to him.He said, My maid or my girl?That made me chuckle a
Nate's POVSince I left Isabella in the kitchen after I kissed her, I have longed to be with her.I almost forfeited going to work that very day, right at that moment.I had her all through my mind, and thoughts of her kept on crossing my mind.It took me my strongest willpower and urge from my driver for me to eventually succumb to going to work.Work seemed very slow, I was moody all through as my mind wasn't at work, my mind was to be with Isabella wherever she was.However, there was little or nothing I could do about it because I needed to attend to the pressing issues at work.Jane had come into my office severally to either bring me coffee or to tell me of a new meeting schedule or to bring a new document that needed to be signed or to even ask me about food.She was against me just sitting and working.She told me to take breaks in between work so I don't drain myself easily.If only she knew I was already drained and I needed to charge up really bad and really quick.It was on
Nate's POV We continued talking and gisting to get her for a while even though there were awkward silent moments before we eventually said our goodbyes.Though unwanted to keep talking to her on the phone I didn't have much to say to her now and I also didn't want to rush her so we ended the call.Having received this call from Isabella just now I was very happy.It lightened up my mood.I immediately became charged up because I'd just spoken with Isabella.I can't really place what she does to me, but I knew for sure that she's somehow some type of healing to me.I can't think of any other person I'd rather be with other than her.In all honesty, I'd never thought that there would be a time when I'd like someone so much like this.I didn't think that I would ever love again, I never thought I was capable of loving anyone anymore after what had happened to the one I loved before.I believed I wasn't good enough and I wouldn't be able to keep them safe but being with Isabella changed
Nate's POVHe took a sit in front of my desk and we started discussing about business.I was at first shocked that he had arrived so quickly because my secretary had only got back to him about five minutes ago that he could come over.Seeing him here not long after made me wonder if was in the neighbourhood before.It was as if he read my mind and he knew what I was thinking because he gave me the right answer to my bother.Sorry for coming into your office on just short notice, I was actually in the neighbourhood and I thought that I'd reach out to you to know if you are available so we could discuss our partnership progress.I was shocked at his statement but I didn't make a visible reaction.Alright by me, I said I'm the coolest of tone.Something always doesn't just feel right with me anytime I meet with this man.I could not tell what it was but I usually feel some odd energy around him.I wanted to place know what it was by all means and I'm pretty sure I will find that out soon
Nate's POVI don't know what it is that was always wrong when meeting with Mike but it became bothersome to me.Having such odd and unrelatable feelings towards someone is suspicious.There's no way that there is no bad or dangerous hidden act in the hands of Mike.As I was trying to pace the whole situation even though it was proving stubborn to understand, there was nothing I could donate at the moment.I thought to myself to wait for Damien since he said he was coming, I will tell him about the whole issue and then we'll also conduct another finding through our private investigator to know Mike's movements and other things that can be found in him.Also, the fact that he said he needed to get the contact of my private investigator made me know he was up to something fishy.I suspected him a lot and I could tell he had something's he was up to which is of no good.Not long as I was still thinking, I heard a knock on my door and then Damien came into my office.As he entered, I could
Nate's POVI think that explains the odd unrelatable feeling I usually have when Mike is around me.It never sits well with me nor have I gotten used to it since we started seeing each other for our partnership meetings.How do I break this news to Isabella, imagine telling her that I have something to say to her and the thing that comes out of my mouth is that I partnered with her ex-boyfriend for work.Wouldn't she even think we've known each other before and I'm a culprit too?She might also think I probably want to sell her out in the long run and send her back to Mike or even maybe I'm a bad person just as Mike was.I might probably hurt her the same way Mike had done to her or even worse.All this situation is so blurry and it's giving me no clear way forward on how I should go about the situation.I and Damien sat still in my office for so long, it could be minutes or even an hour on but we didn't know.We were only just worried about the whole situation that just unravelled in
Nate's POVI was still sitting there in my office, with my mind running through different thoughts because Jane had come to put me off my present dilemma.She knocked on my door and came into my office, then she told me we had a site inspection we needed to do for now as the clients were already on their way there.I had thought she didn't notice a change in my mood because I had tried to mask my current mood as she came into my office, but I guess I thought wrong or she probably just read my mind because she asked me if I was good immediately I had just thought about her not noticing my mood change.I jinxed it, I guess.Oh, of course, I'm good, I tried to put on a smiling face.I'm only tired for the day and I'd completely forgotten about the site inspection we have scheduled for later today.But don't worry about me, okay?It's fine, let's just go.I checked through my table to see if I needed anything and I picked up my phone before leaving the office.I met with Jane downstairs w
