"Yeah, she does care about me too much. So, tell me something about your company."
Cecil said, by now the car had stopped and was packed in the garage of Phoebe's small villa, it was a villa painted with white colour on the outside, not exactly big but good enough for a person like herself. Phoebe being the kind of person she was, never liked a showy life, just wanted a simple life of doing her dance career, go out on a date with sexy ladies and make sure her sister doesn't lack anything.Justin was the first to get out of the car and he quickly went to open the door for Cecil like a perfect gentleman with a smile on his face. Cecil who noticed it said nothing because she thought he was just trying to be nice and not wanting to look rude towards her so she smiled back at him and led the way towards the front door of the villa.The living room had a boylike decor, infact it was stylishly manly as if owned by a man even though it was two ladies living in the house just that, one was far from being a girl that she was, instead she chose the opposite and that was being manly.It was mainly with the colour of gold and black with a few touches of white or cream colour. Justin was the least surprised, it was because he had been here a number of times and was used to the ironic style of Phoebe's living room, he immediately made himself comfortable on a sofa while Cecil excused herself.Justin had totally forgotten about what Drew had asked him to do, he was too clouded with the thought on how to impress Cecil that he completely forgot about what he was supposed to do, Cecil came back with a bottle of a cold drink and a glass cup and served it to Justin and with a thank you, he took a sip from the cold drink, Cecil sat on the sofa opposite him."You did not even bother to ask me what I would like to drink and you just brought me this cold drink without requiring from me first."He had a serious look on his face while he asked Cecil but she gave him an apologetic smile.."Am sorry, it's just that I didn't think you were picky with your drinks, I sincerely apologize for my lack of consideration."She suddenly felt shy towards him seeing how serious he was. She honestly did not think that he would be picky with his drinks, plus she was already used to giving refreshments to guests without asking for their preference because during her time in the university, she would serve her friends drinks and food without asking them what they wanted and they never complained, it seems she now had a not-so-good habit to stop.Justin heard her reply and suddenly felt his tongue bitter and it made his face ugly, he thought she was being too formal with him and he hated it. He wanted her to be open with him and causal…. Well, that was new because the virgin Casanova never had such thoughts before, he was extremely surprised at his own self for having such thoughts over someone he just met today. His inner self was telling him that he was being too fast and taking things in a rush but his heart told him otherwise, it was better to be even more faster unless he would miss the chance of being close to her."I was only joking and there's no need for the formalities, we should be friends since I've known your sister and we are very close then you shouldn't be left out, I can be close to your sister as much as I can be close to you. You asked a question earlier?"For some reason, Cecil was rendered speechless by Justin's statement but she regained her senses at his last question and repeated what she had asked before."I said you should tell me about your company."She repeated the question while trying to clear her hard off Justin's words about them being close….."You see, Cecil, working in the Euston's Corporations is never an easy one, we have been ranked the top best in the country and even abroad so we tend to expect the uttermost best from our employees. People would think we pressurise our staffs too much but it's only to maintain our good image, getting a bad reputation isn't something that would be good for a company like the Euston's and slacking off work isn't tolerated at all. And when it comes to the PR department, workers there are usually under more pressure especially when we would be in a dire situation, being the top best doesn't mean we would not suffer from bad public image once in a while and clearing off such cases are usually hard. We have lots of competitors and enemies wanting to either overtake us or overthrow us and they would always look for the best and perfect opportunity to do that."Cecil stared at Justin and for some reason she suddenly felt scared, it wasn't that she was not aware of things like this but hearing it directly from Justin's mouth scared the living shit out of her."Why do I suddenly feel like you are discouraging me? You don't want me to work at the Euston's?"She asked in a small low voice that showed how down spirited she was, Justin who heard her now felt guilty but he needed to tell her the reality of working under their company, he wasn't discouraging her but telling her what to expect and he did not really tell her everything exactly just the few that was needed for now. With a guilty heart, he stood up from his chair and went to seat on the sofa Cecil sat on with her head down while she fumbled with her fingers, he sat so very close to her without either of them noticing.Inside the CEO's office of Euston's Corporations, Drew sat behind his table, occupied with loads and loads of office work. This has been the normal daily activities of his life, he would just keep working and working without bothering about his own personal self.Being the CEO of a large world wide company wasn't an easy task to do, his unrelented hard work for a few years had gained him the title of the youngest billionaire of the century. Growing up as a child from a family who were legends in the business world, he had only been taught on how to run a business and survive among competitors in the field, to be very tactic in dealing with work.Though he came from a rich family where life would have always been easy but that wasn't the case for the only child and heir of the Euston's, he had been taught life the hard way, he grew up to understand how the world works and not to only spend money but to also make money and dominate the world and gain power to control the world in his ow
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 car door was opened by the driver and Justin stood patiently waiting for the person to come out and when the person came out, Justin was awed, his mouth hung open as his jaw dropped, he was stupefied at what he saw, he blinked twice to make sure he saw right but he was right, his sight wasn't deceiving him at all.Adaline came out of the car and stood before Justin, giving him a slight bow. Justin squinted his eyes and looked at Adaline closely to be sure he was seeing the right person, maybe it was the other twin sister because they had the same look.But with the kind of aura Adaline was emitting, Justin knew it was definitely the right person but she looked so different from all the times he had seen her in the past, she looked more beautiful and alluring but her cold and blank eyes were the things that never changed not even a little bit, it looked similar to Drew's eyes, they had the same cold and aloof vibes around them that was capable of freezing a person. They fitted perf
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
Inside the elegant and classic looking bedroom that oozed of a male vibe, the bright morning sun rays illuminated the room, giving it a warm and cozy outlook and the small petite figure on the king sized bed gave the room a wonderful appearance.The once dull and empty room was now warm and whole with the presence of someone lying peacefully on the bed as the sun lights rested on her petite figure. Her fair and delicate skin glistened under the rays of the morning sunlight. Minutes passed by before she finally stirred on the bed. She rolled her body from one side to the other, enjoying the warm and softness of the bed. She honestly didn't feel like rising up at all, she just wanted to lay there and enjoy the comfy of the bed.But her wish was short lived because a sudden knock on the door disrupted her plans, the knock sounded twice in a low and respectful manner, Adaline wanted to so much ignore the knock but she couldn't because she already knew it would be useless, if she didn't an
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
"Excuse me sir, but there's a lady outside, she's waiting for you." Drew removed his hands from the doorknob and turned to Justin whose eyes met his as the same question flashed across each other's eyes. Drew tore his gaze from Justin when he saw Justin was just as clueless as he was. Drew looked at the secretary and asked. "I don't remember having an appointment with a lady. Who's she?" His deep voice resounded calmly in the office and reached the secretary who still had her head bowed a little low in respect. "Actually, Mr Chairman was the one who approved of her meeting you. He said you should already know." The secretary said in a voice that wasn't low and wasn't loud either. She was inwardly shaking. She knew the bad relationship between the Chairman and the CEO and she could already tell that the CEO would decline and would not want to meet the lady which she couldn't allow. She could still recall the threatening words the Chairman said to her if she allowed the CEO turn dow
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
