Mrs Freda along with Adaline left the house after about an hour of getting prepared, they left for the city's most expensive shopping mall that was arranged by Justin, Drew's assistant to get Adaline's clothes for the lunch date, the mall was classic and huge with luxurious items being sold.A shop attendant showed them around the mall and gave them different kinds of dresses to try on and if asked, Adaline would only nod or shook her head in reply. As they kept shopping, people's gazes did not leave the mother and daughter pair for a second, of course they knew who the infamous Adaline was, the pretty dumb girl. People continued to stared as they murmured gossips with scornful looks on their faces but neither does Mrs Freda nor Adaline cared, although they felt the hot gazes on them but they pretended like nothing was happening and continued shopping.It took them minutes before they finally found the dress they wanted, it was a black armless short gown with a black jacket of the sam

The bright morning was shining into the expensive french styled living room, it was already nine in the morning but there was still no sign of Adaline yet. Since she left for the lunch date she hadn't returned nor called them on the phone and Adele was getting especially anxious, she could not help but wonder what Adaline was still doing that she slept out throughout the night and hasn't returned yet.Adele sat on the cream couch as she waited for Adaline to return already, she had sat almost for an hour or so but still no Adaline around. Adele has also waited last night for Adaline thinking that Adaline would return last night but when she saw that Adaline hadn't returned she began to feel very anxious and uncomfortable and she didn't know why."Mom, there's still no sign of Adaline, why haven't she returned home yet? Wasn't it just a lunch date? How come she slept overnight?"Adele bombered her mother with questions immediately she saw her entering the living room. Mrs Freda sat on

Drew eyed the grinning Justin and looked away. He could already tell Justin was being mischievous. But then, as much as it sounded mischievous, it still looked like a good idea and it was tempting. However, nothing good ever came out of Justin if it wasn't about business, especially now that he had that stupid grin on his face.Justin's smile fell when he noticed the skeptical glance Drew threw at him, but he wouldn't give up just yet. He sighed with his hands akimbo, he looked nothing less than a father who was trying to convince his naive yet doubtful son about what choice of dessert to take. Justin took one step forward and said."If you keep being slow, I'll just have to do it for you. And who knows, with my blinding charms, she might fall for me. We wouldn't want that, would we? Am quite confidence with my looks you know, it has gotten me this far."Justin self-praised as he gestured at himself with a teasing but proud smile. When he finally saw Drew rise from his seat, Justin's

With an air of charisma. Drew walked out of the office and to his secretary's table were the lady was said to await him. He honestly wasn't surprised. Seeing his father's surprised visit today, Drew already got an inkling that his father would pull some strings. Everything that concerns Drew Euston was purely business, even if it was simply a lunch date or tea party, it was always business and the same could be told about the person who was waiting for him. If he rejected meeting with the woman, his father would conclude he was incompetent and would rub it on his face even though it was simply something so minor. He didn't want to give his father any reason to do such.Drew arrived at his secretary's desk and from where he stood, he could already see the lady sitting while waiting for him. At first glance, he recognized the lady. She was one of his international business partners, a strong and important one at that. From what he knew, she was supposed to be in Japan at the moment, did

Few seconds ran by with Adaline’s hand still stretched out towards Drew. Though Drew was still delaying, there was no backing down for Adaline. She was determined to show her appreciation, this was the least she could do. Everyone’s eyes were still glued on the two people who stood staring at each other where the other had her hands stretched out. The secretary was already scoffing at Adaline because she already guessed that Mr Drew would never accept her handshake.He never did to anyone irrelevant and this Ms right now was irrelevant. Though the secretary had no idea why Adaline was here, but she already concluded she was one of those whores seeking favours from rich men. She was indeed irrelevant. How pitiful.Drew stared down at Adaline’s small hands that was stretched out towards him. He already knew it was her way of showing his appreciation and it warmed his heart. All the past few years he knew her and was secretly watching her, he never once saw her interact with any other pe
