Amber thought Xavier's parents were too hard on him, setting a standard for him that he has to follow just because he is wealthy just didn't seem like the right thing to do to her kids, she will let them choose a path for themselves and guide them if they try to go astray. Unlike Xavier's parents who want him to follow only their rules. Amber shook her head in disappointment at the thought. "Hold up" Sophia said out of the blue, Amber looked at Sophia waiting for what she had to say. "If Charlotte's mother wants to bribe you into leaving Xavier's company just because her daughter wants him to only be her herself then don't you think they are really serious about the arranged marriage?" Amber raised her brow in confusion at her not sure what she was trying to point out. "Don't you get it?" She asked and Amber kept quiet waiting for her to add some sentences that would make her statement clear to her. She soon started talking after seeing her silence,"This means that Xav
Amber was starting to see sense in what Sophia was saying, Xavier once told her that he didn't like the arranged marriage and his parents gave him a two month's deadline to show them his girlfriend, Amber also remembered Xavier mentioned having a mystery girl he liked, but what bothered Amber now was why Xavier will tell her those kind of things, does he like her? She didn't want to think deep into it and break her own heart when the answer came out to be the opposite. "Are you still thinking about it?" Sophia asked, breaking Amber away from her thoughts. Amber shook her head at her and replied,"Okay let's assume I take your advice seriously and actually try to get him to like me this next two months, do you think Charlotte or her mother will back down? I know they won't, or do you think his family will accept me after knowing my background story" Amber paused for a while, she let her insecurity get the best of her again, she heaved a deep breath and said in a low tone,"I am not sure
When Sophia couldn't think of a better answer to give Amber, she just laughed it out and praised Amber for turning the tables on her so easily. "This is not about me Amber, Unlike you, I am very sure that my boss has no feelings for me whatsoever okay?" Sophia said to which Amber nodded her head slowly, still looking at Sophia she said,"Okay let's say I believe you, if he has no feelings for you then why would he ask you out of everyone in his company to come with him, remember you aren't even his personal secretary and according to what you said earlier and I quote," Most people often take their partners along with them on event like this but he chose to take you along with him, doesn't that give you a hint that he might have something for you?"Amber repeated what Sophia said to her a while ago. Seeing Sophia's silence she went further,"Well this gives me a hint that your boss has something for you, young lady". Amber said with confidence to Sophia. If Sophia thinks she can keep her
jenna's question confirmed her thoughts that they weren't really taught that in school, she turned towards elena requesting for an answer to explain herself. "i just wanted to try out different algebra's, we weren't really taught that in class. elena replied meekly. "it's grade 9 maths mum, elena told me to give it to her to test her smartness" amber almost gasped, on the other hand she was surprised that her child was attempted a grade 9 question and actually got it correct while on the other hand she couldn't believe her son has actually been studying grade 9 maths since! when he was just in grade 4, she really felt like she was doing great as a mum in knowing anything about her children's studies or what they are up to. before she could get any word on, jenna gasped and faced elena,"but we are in grade 4! i don't think it's right to do other grades homework". jaden rolled his eyes at her statement,"it is very right to do other grades assignment if you want to be smart but definitel
"The dress is elegant and presentable and that is all you need to know about it" Amber said ignoring Sophia's earlier question. "Okay whatever, I'm going to see it tomorrow anyways and I'll be the judge of it" Sophia said making Amber roll her eyes even more. They soon changed the topic and began talking about a different thing as the time went by. Amber checked the time, it read 23:00 pm "I guess it's time for bed" Sophia said yawning. "Yeah" Amber replied tiredly, they really stayed up talking away, Amber didn't want to make her kids run late to school and also she didn't want to come late for work so she decided to retire to bed now. Amber stood up from the couch with Sophia doing the same also, they soon went into their respective rooms. Amber was greeted with the sight of her three kids sprawled out on their respective beds. She awed at the sight, they looked so innocent. She went to her bed and laid down to sleep.Meanwhil
Sophia got literally confused when he asked the question, was this the same guy always on her neck literally that annoys her all the time? Nope definitely not. Sophia thought so she said the first thing that entered her mind. "Are you okay sir? Are you sure you are not mistaking me for someone else?" Jake blinked at her response, originally he thought she would be glad and probably wear a happy smile at the thought of him asking her out, he knew how many girls would be waiting for this opportunity to be with him and what's better? To be his date! So Sophia's answer took him by surprise but he didn't express anything, instead he chuckled normally and told her,"Well I am tired of taking slutty women as my dates, the event was going to be classic, Billionaires will be coming from around the country and trust me I do not want a woman hanging on my arm like a fly or something and that's when you came into my mind, you hate me right? And plus you are decent and
After they were done eating, Amber hailed a back for both herself and her children while Sophia hailed a separate cab to go to the company. Amber dropped her kids off and went straight to the company. The time was "8:00" when she arrived so she wasn't that late to work. Once the cab stopped in front of the company, she paid for the t-fare, hopped down and went inside the company. She saw an unfamiliar face behind the receptionist counter, although she didn't know much of her colleagues, she was already used to all their faces when walking around so this one was definitely new. She was behind the receptionist counter so Amber suspected she might be a new receptionist that Xavier hired. Amber was about to walk past her when a voice drew back,"Good morning!" The loud and chirpy voice yells. Amber turned back and was surprised to see that it was the new receptionist greeting her. Amber did not want to come off as rude to the girl so she humbly replied back with a smile,"Good morning." She
At exactly 10:00 am Amber went home as per Xavier's orders, after accepting the fact that he will be the one to come get her despite her telling him not to. She opened the door to her living room, it was unusually quiet, she wasn't used to the house being quiet like this due to her children's voices, she closed the door behind her and headed towards her room to get dressed. She opened her wardrobe bringing out the dress, she would admit the dress was indeed very fine and looked classy enough, she didn't want to spend her money on a flashy dress she won't end up wearing anymore because she doesn't go to these kind of events or parties, she figured the classy looking burgundy gown will do. She stripped from her work clothes and changed into the dress, she walked towards the mirror to see herself fully. The burgundy dress had a high slit reaching her middle thigh, the off shoulder v line held her upper body well, the dress also pronounced her tiny waist and slim curves, she thought it lo
Sophia smacked Amber on her arm when she said that. "You think I'm slow and can't understand? Why the h*** Would you drag the words?" Amber held her arm, Sophia sure knows how to hit, it was so painful,"Well if you aren't slow, why couldn't you understand what I said before?" Amber retorted back, half annoyed at the fact that Sophia hit her arm. "I just got confused that's all" Sophia said before staring at the dress one more time. "Is this the dress you will be wearing?" Sophia asked her in shock after looking at the dress. "Yes," Amber replied, confused by the shocked look on Sophia's face. Was the dress ugly? Sophia gushed when Amber replied,"But you didn't tell me it was this gorgeous, to think you were even hyping mine when yours is more fashionable" Sophia said and Amber rolled her eyes at her words, Sophia was definitely exaggerating. "And oh those shoes" the glittering shoe was the first thing that caught Sophia's eyes, she once saw them online on
