View More'There goes your moment' Olivia lamented to herself as she watched Ryan excuse himself to talk on the phone with Diana.She had just watched as her chance slip through her fingers just because she couldn't talk to Ryan directly and tell him how she felt. This was all because she felt like she was paralyzed from the thought of telling Ryan the truth.Now, he stood across the room with his phone next to his ear talking to Diana. If asked, Olivia could feel that something was a bit off about Diana. Not that she didn't want Ryan to be happy,but because she had a gut feeling that something wasn't right with Diana.She played with her knuckles as she watched him end the call and walk back to her. He put the phone on the table and his attention was once again on her.Damn,the way he made her feel just by looking at her. She would give anything just to be looked at by him all day and all night. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her soul and she was down for that."I'm guessing that she
Olivia could see this as one of the ways that she was going to loose Ryan. Even though she managed things at the company on his behalf,his presence there is what made her love being in the office even more.It was dawning on her that she cherished his presence around the office and around her than she even thought. The place would feel empty.No, she was not going to let him go just yet. She started to think about all the possibilities that would be if only she could muster up enough courage to talk to Ryan and if he would be feeling the same way she felt for him. Fighting her emotions for all this while she finally started to accept the fact that Christian was right all along about her feelings for him.She looked at him with her thoughts deep about what could be if they dated. If only he was hers and she was his. She was already imagining how they would be a power couple. In her mind, she saw Ryan as the dominant type who assumes control over all situations. To her,this was the per
Looking at both of them, Christian got up from his seat and picked up his jacket."And where are you going?" Olivia asked as they turned their attention to Christian."I see that this is a work related issue,and I'm on break from any work related things so, bye," he responded as he started heading out."You know you can give your insight on whatever Olivia might have brought to me," Ryan called out from across the room.Down the hall, Christian stopped, turned around and said,"Both you and Olivia have elevated your company to heights you never thought you would reach. I'm sure no matter what challenges you both face at work, with your combined minds you are capable of figuring something out."What the didn't know was that Christian had stepped out so that Ryan could be alone with Olivia. He always wanted the two of them to end up together for the longest time and he was hoping that with the way things were going between Ryan and Diana,maybe it was a possibility that Olivia would step
Ryan was in his mansion and had ordered all the workers to take some time off and leave the house to him. Following his instructions, all workers retreated to the worker's quarters and he was left alone in the house.It didn't take long for him to hear a car pull up in front of the house. Without even the need to confirm, he knew it was Christian from the way he revved the engine.After a short while, Christian walked in through the front door with the car keys in his hands. He found Ryan in the kitchen making himself a meal."You've been MIA for a while," Christian said as he walked to one on the seats that were by the kitchen counter."I felt like I needed it," Ryan responded as he gestured to whether he should also count Christian in the meal to which Christian declined as he was already full."Work issues?" He asked Ryan.Ryan nodded for a no and Christian instantly knew the reason for his disappearance."Diana?" He teased to which Ryan paused in his tracks for a second before con
A few days had passed with Ryan and Diana not talking to each other. To make matters worse, Diana had seen Ryan a few times at Global Tech but everytime their eyes met, he immediately changed his focus and went on to do what he was doing avoiding her even more.All this while, Mitchell kept telling Diana that this was just a thing that will pass. However, Mitchell also wondered why Diana was so much bothered by the fact that Ryan wasn't talking to her.This went on to prove that somewhere along the line, Diana had actually started developing feelings for each other. For Mitchell,this was good since she wanted Diana to be happy. Despite the bet that they had going on, she believed that if Diana was to fall in love with Ryan, then she wouldn't want anything less for her but just pure happiness.Every evening that Diana came back home, Mitchell could see she was troubled even though she didn't want to admit it. She seemed off from the night of the gala given that Ryan was not picking her
Mitchell and Diana watched as Ryan walked back into the gala and from the looks of it, they could tell that he was pissed.Diana eyed Mitchell who looked back at her as if warning her not to follow up on what that was about. Diana on the other hand,wanted to know what was going on.This was partially because she wanted to prove to Mitchell that Ryan was the playboy she thought he was. And also, because she knew that deep down she had started falling in love with Ryan and wanted to know what he was getting herself into.Ryan walked back to the table and sat down as if nothing had happened. At this point, Mitchell could see it on Diana's face that she was about to ask about who the mysterious woman was. So, seeing it coming,she excused herself and went to the restroom hoping that by the time she gets back things will have settled.Things were silent for a while till Diana finally decided to ask the awaited question."So, do you know that lady?" She inquired watching Ryan's expression cl
Meanwhile Outside:Ryan walked past Justina who was standing with security guards at the entrance. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. After their last interaction,he thought that he wouldn't have to see Justina's face again but it seemed that that was now becoming somewhat of an impossibility.Following him to his new apartment was one thing, trying to seduce him when she walked to the door and knocked was another,but this one right here was a whole different thing. She has practically followed him and tried to get in the gala as if she didn't expect him to notice her presence. Everytime they met, he got more reasons as to why their relationship never worked and will never ever try to patch things up again.He could hear the sound of her heels clicking on the sidewalk behind her. He could tell that she was just right behind him and trying to catch up with him. After taking a few paces to a distance which he was certain that Diana and Mitchell couldn't see him, he put his arms on
Diana tugged at Ryan's hand a few times asking him if everything was okay. Everytime she did this ,she looked at Mitchell who was visibly as confused as she was.Looking at him, Diana wanted to give it one more try to see what Ryan was looking at. Turning her head, she noticed that Ryan was not looking at someone inside the gala, rather ,he might have been looking outside the building. This made more sense since Diana's back was towards the front door and after a few people had walked across her field of view, she noticed it. Outside the main doors, there was someone standing talking to the security guards at the door. Wait, not just someone,a woman who was decently dressed that one might think she was already at the gala.Mitchell noticed where Diana was looking and tried to look but it took her a while to see what they were actually looking at. Though not sure that she was looking at the right person, she got her confirmation when the woman who was talking to the security at the fr
It was already evening and Diana and Mitchell were just arriving at the gala in the cab that Ryan had sent to pick them.When they saw him, both their jaws hit the floor not expecting him to clean up so good. For a split second,they imagined that he was a higher up in the upper class of people who ran the city.Ryan too was impressed by their dress code. For two city girls who gave the vibe of indoor girlies, they definitely knew how to dress when the occasion was at their doorstep. Ryan hugged both of them and with a broad smile, turned to walk them into the building."A gala? Impressive," Mitchell commented as they were walking through the front door to the building.It was one of Georgia's museums that had been flipped upside down just to cater for the gala. The walls were painted all white and there was a large open room immediately after the front door where everyone congregated and talked.All around,the girls could see prominent faces of the city and country talking in groups a
