Lerisa wondered why she stood in front of the white new Jeep decorated with balloons with Remy.Remy turned to face her and said, "Here's my lovely present to you for accepting to marry me.""Oh my!" Lerisa exclaimed. She jumped up with joy and hugged Remy tightly. "Are you serious? Is this really for me?"She looked so excited. Remy replied, "Yes. You can check out the vehicle. If you don't like it, I can get another model asap.""Oh my goodness! I love it, Remy. Thank you," Lerisa leaned forward and kissed Remy lightly on his left cheek. Remy smiled; however, he knows Lerisa is shy, so he wasn't demanding much from her. He gave her the car key, and Lerisa walked up to her new car to examine it."My goodness! It's lovely," Lerisa toured the white Land Cruiser SUV that Remy acquired for her. She felt so emotional, and she went back to kneel in front of Remy and thanked him in their cultural way."No, baby. Get up. You know that I love you very much, and I can do more than this for you,
Lerisa thought about why Anthony didn't show up at his company. She knew that he usually showed up every day and wondered if all was well with him.After her dinner with her family ended, Lerisa went into the kitchen and tidied it up. She tried not to think too much about Anthony and wondered why she was feeling bad about him.She engaged herself with washing the dirty dishes in the kitchen. After that, she retired back to her room to sleep.The following morning, Lerisa woke up in her bedroom and prepared to go to her workplace. She knew that she was the talk of the town after her engagement with Remy went viral. Lerisa didn't think she could leave Remy, and she was glad that he was also loyal to her.She went into her bathroom, brushed her teeth, and did some clean shaving. Admiring her reflection in her bathroom mirror, Lerisa thought about the moment she would definitely consummate her marriage with Remy.She slapped her left cheek and said, "No, I shouldn't be thinking about this
"Oh my God! MOM! They're here," Lerisa was nervous as she knew the multiple cars arriving at her father's house were Remy and his uncles."Yes. Calm down. Let me go and attend to them. I will send for you," Mrs. Antonia said. She turned and exited her daughter's room.Mrs. Antonia hadn't taken her bath, so she rushed into her room for a quick bath. She put on traditional clothes and applied a little makeup to her face.She stepped out wearing an orange top with a brown wrapper wrapped around her waist. She paired it with black shoes and applied makeup to her face, along with a little red lipstick.Remy got out of his car and looked around Lerisa's family home. He arrived with two of his uncles, his father's elder brother, and younger brother too.Mr. Fred Jonah stepped out of the house to welcome them. He greeted Remy's uncles and ushered them into his house."You're highly welcome to our home. What can we serve you?" Mr. Fred asked. James was around, so he shook hands with Remy, obse
"Good evening, Ma," James greeted Mrs. Beatrice as he saw her speaking to their gateman as soon as he walked out of the house."Good evening, my son. Is Lerisa at home?" Mrs. Antonia asked James. She had totally forgotten that it was Lerisa's engagement day. As she was speaking to James, that was the same time Remy and his uncle's car drove out of the house.However, Remy didn't spot Mrs. Beatrice, but she already knew why Remy was there."Yes, Ma. Lerisa is inside; let me call her for you." James quickly went back into the house to summon Lerisa. He couldn't ask Mrs. Beatrice why she wanted to see Lerisa. It was not like Mrs. Beatrice was a stranger, so he went into the living room and saw Lerisa and their mother."Lerisa, come first," James said, not wanting to tell Lerisa that Anthony's mother was looking for her outside the gate."Why are you calling Lerisa, James? What do you want to say to your sister?" Mrs. Antonia, who looked happy and excited, queried James."Mom, It's nothin
In L.H. Group, Lerisa Jonah stood up from her executive secretary seat as she was through with her office work for the day. She works as Anthony Gregson's secretary, so she stepped out of her office seat and picked up her black handbag that was on her office desk as she was already going home. She's a fair-complexioned young lady, 24 years old, and she was wearing a yellow shirt, a black pencil skirt, and black shoes. She wondered why she hadn't seen Anthony stepping out of his office. She knew that Anthony usually closes by 5 p.m. and leaves the company before 6 p.m., which was the company's normal closing hour. She made her way toward Anthony's office door to find out what was still delaying her boss. As the time was already after 6 p.m. and most of the staff were already going home,. Approaching Anthony's office door, she knocked, and she heard him respond, “Come in.” She pushed Anthony's office door slightly open, and she stepped into his office and saw him seated on his exec
Anthony ignored responding to Mark, as he didn't even avert his gaze nor bait an eye to stare at Mark Terry for a second, who had stepped into his office to see him, as his gaze was strictly on Lerisa, whom he was staring at with concern. Lerisa felt embarrassed after seeing Mark apologize to Anthony, and he exited Anthony's office immediately by shutting the door. Mark already knew that Lerisa had a crush on Anthony, which was the reason she rejected his love proposal. He shook his head in denial after seeing Anthony holding Lerisa closely by her arms, confirming to him that they were secret lovers but pretending in front of the other staff like they were siblings. “Lerisa..." Anthony called out Lerisa's name again, making her shudder in his hold and snap out of her trance, as he was still holding her arms closely. Anthony knew that Lerisa was not in any relationship, so he wondered what had made her look sad and if someone had broken her heart or was troubling her. "What's wron
Lerisa walked into the living room of her family mansion and met her mother standing beside the dining room and arranging the dining chairs. Her elder brother and younger sister weren't around, as they were still in school. "Good evening, Mom," Lerisa greeted her mother but didn't stop in the living room as she walked towards the corridor that led to all the rooms in the big house. Mrs. Antonia wondered what happened to her first daughter as she saw how Lerisa's face looked pretty red. She immediately called Lerisa back. "Come here, Lerisa! What happened in the office today? Why does your face look so red?" Lerisa stopped and replied, "Nothing, Mom, I'm fine." Mrs. Antonia sighed and dismissed Lerisa. "That's alright; do quickly and come join your father and me for dinner.” “Okay, Mom,” Lerisa replied, darting into the corridor as she went to her room to take her bath. She stepped into her room and shut the door. She cried and leaned into the door for support as she strode to
Anthony continued to think about why Lerisa wasn't happy, as he didn't have any siblings and had grown up seeing Lerisa as a sibling to him. He sighed and focused his gaze on the road, driving home. Soon, he arrived home and drove into the garage before getting out of his car and walking up to their duplex mansion. “Good evening, Mom and Dad,” Anthony greeted his parents as he stepped into the living room and saw his parents sitting in the dining room. His mother smiled and replied first, “Welcome home, Anthony. How was work today?” “Fine, mother,” Anthony walked up toward the living room stairs to retire to his bedroom. However, his mother spoke to him, “Wait, Anthony, won't you join us for dinner before retiring to your bedroom?” Anthony paused, stared back at his mother, and replied, “Okay, mom. How's the birthday preparation going? We will celebrate it here tomorrow in the event hall.” Anthony walked to the dining room to join his parents. He pulled a seat out before sittin
