LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 13
Susan has been staring at her phone for the past 10 minutes and her friend kept wondering why.
Susan is an orphan who grew up with her uncle who was very kind to her. He treated her like her own child until her last days in school.
Her uncle died and his wife started showing her true colors and that made Susan to leave home and started staying with her friend.
They both share the rent and also contribute money to see that things are moving well for the both of them.
They were more like sisters. They stick together to overcome every challenge they face and they hide nothing from each other.
“If it is not a man that has kept your face glued to your phone then I don’t know what it could be” Ava said looking at Susan
“tch, must everything be about a man. Leave me alone please” Susan said smiling
“Okay. I know that smile. The same smile you had when Jake was hitting on you”
“Please don’t mention that name in my presence anymore”
“Oh! Sorry. But who is it? Ava asked trying to look into Susan’s phone and she took it away.
In a twinkle of an eye, Ava snatched the phone from Susan and her eyes widened.
“Is it that you don’t like this your job anymore or what? Because I don’t understand why you will be crushing on that cold face you call a boss”
“He is not cold”
“Don’t even try to defend him. You yourself knows that i’m saying the truth. Is it because of his face? A pretty face and bad character”
“That’s my boss. Don’t talk about him that way”
“Wh@??ver. That your grumpy mannerless boss”
“Wait, Ava, do you have any problems with my boss or have you had an unpleasant encounter with him?
“Of cos. That guy is so rude. Don’t even act like you don’t know. After the way he spoke to me in the shopping mall, you still find him handsome. You need Jesus”
“But we can’t deny the fact that he is cute”
“Better ki|| that feeling. It won’t end well”
Susan took her lips in and dropped her phone on the bed.
Maybe Ava is right. He is my boss. I shouldn’t have feelings for him. But its just a harmless crush tho.
🎀HOSPITAL🎀
Alex walked into the hospital with a straight face ignoring the nurses that greeted him.
He pushed the door open and saw the doctor going through some files on his table.
The doctor smiled immediately he saw Alex and motioned him to sit.
“How about Cindy?
“She left here few minutes ago”
“Its three months already. When am I meeting her or when is she coming over to my house. I don’t want any complications, doctor. I want to watch over her and also to make sure that she won’t pull a fast one on me”
“About that, she said she will be moving into your house tomorrow”
“What!!!
“That was why I called you. I don’t know what changed her mind”
“Ok. Thanks” Alex stood up and walked out of the doctor’s office keeping the same poker face.
🎀SAN FRANSISCO🎀🎀
THE MOORE’S APARTMENT
Elizabeth was in the kitchen making some food for herself when she heard a knock on the door.
She wiped her hands with the kitchen towel and headed to the door.
She wasn’t so surprised when she saw the person at her door.
“I knew a day like this would come. I was expecting you. Are you coming inside or should I jam the door on your face? She asked and the other person sighed before stepping into the house.
“To what do i owe this august visit. The last time I checked, we so not know each other”
The other person chuckled and crossed her legs on the table.
“You know Debby , oh! My bad, Elizabeth, I have always known it was you. I just came here to tell you to stay off my lane. I will ki|| you again since you didn’t die the first time. You were playing a hero to save your friend.”
“You are so pathetic, if I were you, I would start hiding my face. Are you not scared that I might charge you to court for attempted murder? You really have guts to show up at my door yunno. Since my friend and I are still alive, we might just report what happened that day to the police” Elizabeth said with a smile
“where is your evidence? The other person asked and Elizabeth kept mute. She laughed mockingly and said “I’m watching your daughter. One mistake from her I will burn down this rat hole you call a house. And I will do that with the three of you inside. Don’t try me again. It was nice chatting with you mrs Elizabeth” the person stood up, walked to the door and turned with a sly smile. “say hi to your friend for me. I’m coming for her sooner’
Elizabeth sat down with a sigh after the person left. She was a bit scared earlier but she acted bold. The truth is that she didn’t have any evidence to sue the person to court.
But she was going to warn her friend anyway.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Alex drove into his company and parked his car at his private space.
He dialed Mateo’s number before going into his office.
The workers kept greeting him but he snubbed half of them. It didn’t go down well with them but who are they to complain?
They have become used to his coldness.
Nathan rushed to him immediately and started bombarding him with questions but he ignored him and went into his office.
Someone suddenly started laughing and Nathan turned to see Susan laughing at him.
He eyed her and went into Alex’s office.
“Boss, is something wrong? You look worried”
“Nathan i’m fine. You can go when I need something I will call you”
“Ok sir. Your friends came looking for you”
“My friends?
“Yes sir. The three of them”
“Those bastards. Is that why Mateo is not picking up his calls” Alex muttered
“Oh! They are back” Nathan said and Alex looked up to meet the glares from his friends especially Donald.
“Why the look? Did I do something wrong? Alex asked feigning ignorance and a file met with his head.
“Idi*t, we planned to meet up today at the restaurant but you stood us up. What is it by your time? Donald queried him
“I wonder why you had to come back from Bangkok. You should have remained there so that we will continue to enjoy our peace” Alex said with a sigh
“Are you saying i’m a trouble maker? I was gone for just one week and you already look lean. I wonder what will happen if I stay for a month. I .missed you too” Donald tried hugging him and he pushed him away.
Donald has always been the playful and naughty one but don’t get on his bad side.
He will crush you without thinking twice.
“I’m in a fix right now. I don’t think I will join you guys. I have to take care of something” Alex said
“We should hang out without you? Mateo asked and Alex nodded
“No way. You are supposed to pay for our lunch for loosing the last game and you are asking us to go without you. Are you alright? Kylan asked
“I will make it up to you guys. I promise”
“Let me guess, this issue has to do with your baby mama” Donald asked and Alex nodded.
The three focused their attention on him waiting for him to spill the details.
Alex went on to explain the situation of things to them leaving out no single detail.
“Can I see what this your baby mama looks like?
“That’s the crazy part. I don’t have her pictures” Alex said and immediately a call came into his phone and it was Hailey.
📞 Sir, there is a woman here saying she wants to see you but she doesn’t have any appointment” Hailey said from the other end
📞 Her name?
“Cindy. And she looks pregnant”
📞I will be there in a few minutes” Alex dropped the call and faced the guys with a ‘what-should-i-do’ look.
“We are coming with you. Let’s see what this your baby mama wants. Because from the look of things, someone is playing a mind game with you” Donald said and they all stood up and started walking out of the office
“Yeah. You are right. She refused to see you or live with you until now. And now she shows up unexpectedly. Something is not just right” Mateo agreed
“For the first time in many years, someone said something sensible” Kylan said and rushed out while the rest followed pretending like nothing happened.
They all knew that Donald will never let Kylan go scot free after insulting him.
On arriving Alex’s house, they met a huge surprise.
As Alex’s eyes widened, Donald’s eyes was more wider.
Crash!!!!!!!
Someone fainted.
