Temisa is enchanted by Steven Morris' deep, masculine voice, feeling drawn to converse with him. Initially bored and upset, she is now interested and excited. "I find it hard to believe that Sophia would sell me off for just a stipend." "Women are often motivated by financial gain, willing to go to great lengths to appear attractive and extravagant," he said. "I'm not one to be easily fooled." She said forcefully, and the call goes silent for a time. "To be frank, Temi..." Temisa's heart skips another beat, then accelerates, and she sighs before settling on the couch next to her. "Please continue, I'm all ears," she says, encouraging Steven to speak. "Temi. I just wanted to let you know that I have feelings for you and was wondering if you'd want to go out sometime," he says, and Temisa sighs. "Steven, I've made it clear from the beginning that we can't date. Do you understand?" "I apologize, but I am already in a relationship. Please respect my decision and pursue someone else

Mrs. Tonia understands that if they do not go to see the apartment, they will have to wait until the following weekend. She turns back to face the major highways and says, "Okay, let's go see it first; it's not like we're moving in today. So, once we see the house, whichever flat you choose, we will pay for it and start moving our stuff gradually." "Okay, mom," Anita responds, checking her wristwatch. "Mom, it's already 6:20 pm, it will soon be dark," says Anita. "I know, let's just go see the house first. We need to cross the road and catch another bus to get to the location." They both cross the main road, and a bus heading to the mainland approaches and stops in front of them. As they board the bus, Mrs. Tonia tells the driver, "Amade Estate." "Okay, ma'am," the driver responds, and Anita asks, "Mom, Another estate?" "Yes, Anita, but they rent out their apartments, unlike ours, which is independently owned. Living in an estate is preferable for security reasons." "Okay, mom."

Anita stares in the direction where she heard her name being called, and her eyes meet with the handsome CEO's cold, burning brown eyes. She swallows and immediately shifts her gaze away from Temisa as a faint, shaky smile spreads across her face. She realizes she hadn't even told Temisa about her ignoring the CEO the previous day. She forces her legs to move as her feet become heavier, and she finally approaches Temisa's table and nervously greets the two of them sitting there as she feels all eyes on her. "Anita! I have been calling your line since, but you didn't respond. Why?" Temisa asks her, smiling. Anita swallows as words refuse to come out of her mouth. "Temisa, can we discuss this later?" She manages to respond as a waitress approaches the table and serves Temisa and the cold boss sitting there. "Okay, wait for me after closing. I have a lot to discuss with you, especially about my brother," Temisa says, and Liam stiffens as he actually thinks Temisa's brother was romant

Anita wonders what Liam wants to say to her that made him stand up instead of sitting in his executive office seat and speaking to her. He walks out and takes a few long steps to meet her, surprising her, and now stands in front of her. Though she's a tall person, he's still taller than her, and she feels her breath seize and her heart palpitating. "What do you do?" "Shush!" Liam hushes her up, placing his index finger on her lips. Anita gulps and feels her body spark as his finger touches her soft lips, and she steps backward immediately, stammering. "Sir, you requested to see me." "Yes, I did," Liam responds, and he walks backward to sit on an empty client seat. He doesn't know why he touched Anita's soft lips and feels his urge arising to pull her closer and kiss her hungrily as her natural pink lips entice him. Liam sits and faces Anita, trying to keep a straight face and suppress his internal desire to claim her. "Why did you ignore me yesterday and act before your sister l

"I'm fine, mother. It's nothing," Anita responds and stares downward while Mrs. Tonia gazes at Esther locking the gate. Favour finally approaches them and questions Anita as their power supply turns on, making them see Anita's red face properly under the white-shining bulb. "Hey, big sis, what's wrong? Did you lose your job?" Favour asks as she approaches Anita, with Esther walking behind her and staring at Anita's face. "Sister, what's the problem?" Esther also asks, as they all surround Anita, expressing concern. "I'm fine, and I didn't lose my job. Can we all go inside now?" Anita responds to them and walks towards the frontage first, climbing the balcony stairs and going into their living room, while they follow suit after her. Mrs. Tonia sighs and gazes at her daughters. She knows all is not well with how her eldest daughter looks, and she fears maybe Anita has truly lost her job and doesn't want to disclose it to them. Mrs. Tonia decides not to press on the topic of why A
