“What do you mean to say, Kristian? come to think of it, you don’t share his last name. Silly me” Miss Smith mumbled.“You’re from a prominent family so you must have met him one way or the other. I think I get it now.” She added with a smile.Kristian then had a rethink. If that’s what his teacher wants to believe then it’s probably for the best. He just wanted to talk to the nice man he had met countless times and in those meetings he had developed a liking for him not knowing that he was no one else but his biological father. The excitement was there and for containing it this well only proves how strong and intelligent he is at his age.“You may return to your seats” Junior grabbed Kristian’s hand dragging him back to their chairs.“I hope he finds me before leaving…” he thought to himself staring at the window.^^10 minutes later^^Rhett didn’t know he could come up with a perfect excuse that made sense for the situation he found himself in.The offer he made was surely going t
“Alright then buddy, I’ll be at the lobby for now so if you need my service kindly notify me 5 minutes before ” Optimist informed as he adjusted his glasses.“I see you’ve learned to take a break now” Rhett teased his friend who rolled his eyes with sarcasm as he walked out of the door.Rhett’s gaze was intense as he watched his assistant leave, his face covered with paleness and infuriation. The whole of his huge body settled into his task chair, the swiveling base spring to action with his back leaned on it and swiveled slowly towards the window side.As if calculating his size, he looked lost for a while before finally realizing something that had him glance at his wristwatch and then the window behind him.He pulled on the blinds to see Optimist entering his car, the one he had driven to the school and not the official car for business.AT THE SCHOOLIt was closing hour and Ashley had arrived earlier than usual to pick up her son. While she had Mr.Fred do more of the official work
As Ashley arrived at the top floor of the building where the meeting would take place, she halted in her steps to size up her environment. With her body balanced on the side of her waist in style, Ashley pulled her glasses slightly below her nose bridge to access the meeting room when she saw some staff entering and a man setting up the projector.“Hm!” she huffed sharply and with pride; “Guess I’m not late after all” she uttered.With a swift movement of her arms, the droopy beaded work on her well-tailored blazer swirls around freely giving her a strong and sophisticated look. There’s no doubt the aura she emits from her presence alone even without doing much but this morning, her goal is to power her confidence to the highest level to intimidate anyone who would dare to come close to holding any meaningless conversation with her and her dress sure didn’t disappoint.Decked in a well-tailored blazer with matching trousers that accentuate her most beautiful feature; her long legs. As
It’s as if the world has frozen in time for Rhett and Ashley at that moment except for the continuous flashes of shutter lights.“To what length Mr.McCall? Wha…” Ashley stuttered, her eyes brimmed with tears and disappointment. “Did you do this?” She added, squeezing the strap of her purse tightly as if directing her aggression towards it.Rhett was dumbfounded that he could not think of anything to say to her when she was looking at him with such loathing and disappointment. Not when she thinks him to be a cruel man who had taken advantage of their son’s pure intention.“Ashley I…” he stuttered but his voice ended up fading before he could even complete his statement.Ashley scoffed as hot breath burned through her lips. She shook her head in disbelief and as she tried to leave, two reporters cornered her again repeating the same questions nonstop“Quiet down now will you?!” Rhett roared with uncontrollable fury as everyone gasped in shock. Their attention was now on him, silence cr
Optimist walked away from Rachel with a strangely cold demeanor that made her blanch. She scoffed at his receding figure as she decided to do exactly what she was warned against.Rachel pushed open the door and entered into Rhett’s office. Closing the door behind her, she smiled hoping to meet Rhett’s face but surprisingly, could not find anyone on the seat.Her brows drew together in confusion. “Optimist said he was inside” she muttered as she strolled further inside with aim of checking the restroom before leaving but then the restroom door opened to reveal Rhett and Rachel staggered back in shock.“What do you think you’re doing?” Rhett questioned, his brows snapped together in annoyance.“I just wanted to check if you’re in there since I couldn’t find you on the seat,” she said dryly, her eyes kept down from embarrassment but only then did they wander to the medicine bottle in Rhett’s hand and she stared at it curiously, long enough for Rhett to notice and he hides it away from h
Mr.Fred Lawson, Madame Gu’s assistant had no choice but to go pick the young master up from school in place of his boss. Right after bringing him home, he was ready to leave for the day but then the sight of the familiar car parked opposite the house caught his attention.Fred, the man in his mid-forties halted and stepped away from the window to inform his boss lady.He knocked twice before Clara opened the door with a questioning look.“Is she okay to talk yet?” he asked softly as he peered over Clara’s shoulder into the room.“She’s having a moment with her son” Clara responded softly too, almost in a whisper.They both glanced back into the spacious room to see Ashley in the tight embrace of her son. The aura was protective and gentle.“I think she might want to see this… the car is here again but this time, he came by himself,” he said.“What? Why would Mr.Rhett be here this late? it’s past working hours” Clara uttered befuddled by the situation.“I don’t think Madame would want
As Rhett's Mercedes bumped roughly along the road, the car nearly skidded into a ditch due to the rough handling. Rhett seethed with anger as the article replayed in his head, fueling his frustration. Wearing his Earbuds, he began making calls to track down the source of the online news. After ending the call with Derek, an incoming call from Optimist made him tap his earbuds to answer."I'm not sure if you're prepared for this news, buddy," Optimist's voice hesitated."Give me the name, Optimist!" Rhett shouted, tightening his grip on the wheel."You're driving, Rhett. You need to calm down first," Optimist advised out of concern, but Rhett was too agitated to listen.He abruptly veered the car off the highway, pulling out his phone and tossing the Earbud away. "GIVE ME A NAME!" he demanded firmly and authoritatively."It traces back to your grandfather. He owns 'Fact Talkers,' the platform that first released the article before others reposted it. I'm sorry, I should have handled th
Ashley’s heart thumped nonstop in her chest even when she was trying so hard to balance her emotions.She clasped her hands together for a quick prayer but she was interrupted by the familiar footsteps from behind.Tracing the family doctor to his seat but her attention was on the test result in his hand all through.“Mrs.McCall…” The doctor said and paused. Ashley’s blood ran cold watching the doctor’s neutral face, her breath wavered with the thought of getting ahead of herself. She thought that her husband’s absence from home for a long time must have driven her to imagination.“Congratulations Mrs.McCall, you’re two weeks pregnant,” the doctor said with a motivating smile as he handed over the test result on the table.A very sweet feeling exploded in her chest followed by a sigh of relief, excitement spreading to every part of her body “Husband would be so proud of me!” she muttered and hurried to her feet.“Please do not share this with anyone, I want to be the one to announce
