Eric stretched as he opened his eyes. He drank himself to sleep last night. He yawned and stood up feeling tired. He was happy that he didn't have a hangover because of the content of the alcohol he took last night. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face before staring at the wall mirror in the bathroom.He saw Amanda's pretty face smiling happily at him, he shook his head and it disappeared. He has been dreaming about them all night and couldn't have a proper sleep as he would wake up at intervals with his name on her lips. He still couldn't figure out why he was feeling this way for him. Now he feels like seeing her again before he leaves for work.He strode out of his bathroom and checked the time, it was just past 6 am and he knew she had extra two hours to resume the day. He sighed out loud and decided to see her before leaving for work.He quickly took a quick shower and walked to his study to attend to some files as he would go late. If it were to be before Amanda came

Amanda stood behind the kitchen counter, recalling everything that had happened. She still didn't know why Eric acted that way over a video game. He knew she was doing her job effectively."Was he already angry before he came back from work," she thought, feeling disturbed about everything that had happened? She couldn't even grasp her fingers at what might be the problem and sighed concluding James turned out that way because of his relationship with Eric who only scolds him but doesn't care about his welfare."It's bad for a father to treat his son that way thinking it was right," she thought and sighed. She opened her pot to check the noodles she was preparing.The water was almost dried up so she quickly moved over to the center table to cut some vegetables she wanted to add to the noodles. After about five minutes, she was already done. She inhaled the sweet Aroma she was perceiving from her noodles and smiled and licked her lips expectantly waiting to have a taste.It has been

Eric woke up some hours later and got up. He climbed down the stairs and went to sit down to have his dinner. The domestic staff served dinner and he waited for James to come down but he didn't. He got worried and sent one of the domestic staff to remind James about Dinner.The domestic staff left and came back after some minutes, saying that James refused to open the door for him nor reply to any of the words he said to him. Eric got worried and abandoned the dining table. He climbed up to go meet James.He got to his door and knocked quietly."James it's me, please open the door," He called out but James didn't say anything."Open the door, I want to have a brief conversation with you," Eric said but James still didn't say anything to him.He got worried and started banging the door lightly asking James to open it up. James burst into tears and started sobbing out loud."I don't want to talk to you, please go away," he said to Eric and he became weak."I just want us to have a harml

Amanda headed back to Eric's home to meet James. While on her way, she wonders how James might be feeling and what he was doing. Immediately the cab driver stopped at Eric's gate, she quickly rushed into the house to find James, when she got to the living room, there wasn't a trace of James, it looked like he hasn't ever shown his face."Where is James?" She asked one of the domestic staff, looking around eagerly for him and forgetting that he likes the comfort of his room."He must be in his room, he refused to come down for breakfast nor talk to anyone including his father," the domestic staff said which got Amanda more worried."Do you have any prepared food left?" Amanda asked the domestic staff with the thought she would be making James come down to have breakfast."No," the domestic staff replied and Amanda said."Please prepare breakfast for James, he would be coming down soon to have his breakfast," Amanda instructed and climbed up the stairs. She smiled before she softly knoc

Eric was at work when his phone beeped. It was a message from Amanda, he opened his phone and found out she sent a voice recording. Just as he wanted to open it, A knock came and his Assistant walked into his office.He walked as he came close to him, and bowed."Sir! A client is waiting outside your door, should I let him in?" His Assistant asked and Eric nodded in approval. His Assistant left and A man walked in."Hello Mr. Eric," he called as he came close to Eric's desk. Eric looked up and recognized him to be a man he met at a function some time ago.He stood up and exchanged handshakes with him before he ushered him to sit and also sat down."Good day Mr. Brown, it has been a long time," Eric said happily."Yes, you forgot about me," Mr. Brown said and Eric smiled more broadly."No, I didn't… I have been busy with work… I'm sorry we lost Contact, how is your family doing?" Eric asked him and he sighed."I'm in a deep mess," Mr. Brown said and looked downwards. Eric worriedly loo
