Chapter 5 At his mansion

• Andrian's POV
• I don't know why I employed that girl. For all I know, she might not even be qualified but something just kept drawing me to her.
• When I saw her walking sullenly, I felt like helping her was the only right thing to do at that moment.
• I sent one of my guards to ask her to come over to my house by 6pm so that we can discuss about her new job.
• At least, I need to know her qualifications and some important things.
• "Get me Kyle now" I said to my secretary as soon as I got to my office
• "I'm right here sir" Kyle said the moment he got in.
• "I have a new PA now so you can dismiss the applicants"
• "But sir..... " he was trying to say but I cut him off
• "No buts. I've made my decision and that's final"
• "Alright sir" and with that, he left.
• I myself don't even know what I'm doing but I just hope I didn't make a wrong decision by employing that girl.
• Zoey's POV
• Just when I thought things were finally going to work out between us, this had to happen.
• Ahh... I'm definitely going to get rid of that Avery sooner or later.
• Who wouldn't want to marry Andrian? He's handsome and really rich.
• If I get married to him, my future will be totally secured. I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I think I will be needing my friend now.
• She's definitely going to be upset that I didn't call her since I came back.
• "Hello girlfriend" I said immediately she answered the call
• "Zoey!!!......" she screamed so loud that I had to move the phone away for a while
• "I've really missed you Zoey. Are you back? I notice you're not using a foreign number"
• "Yeah.... I came back two days ago"
• "Really? And you didn't see the need to inform me? I tried your foreign number severally but it wasn't going through"
• "I'm sorry, I've been really busy since I returned"
• "Hmmph! Busy with what exactly?" she said like she didn't believe me one bit
• "Fine... I'm sorry okay?"
• "Okay... So are you at home now?"
• "Yes"
• "Alright, I'm coming over"
• "Okay. I will be expecting you"
• Phew! That was easier than I imagined. I know Leah will be able to suggest something once she arrives.
• *Thirty minutes later*
• "Wow! Leah, did you fly here or how come?"
• "I don't live in that place anymore. I bought a new mansion here in your street so that it will be easier for me to come over to your house"
• "Wow! That's so thoughtful of you. I missed you" I said and hugged her
• "Let's go in" she said while I lead the way
• "So what would you like to take?" I asked after we sat down
• "I know the way to the kitchen if I need anything because this is also my house"
• "Ohh.... Pardon my manners, I almost forgot"
• "Have you seen Andrian ever since you came?" she asked curiously
• "Yeah...."
• "Are you still crushing on him?"
• "I don't know about that but I know I want to get married him"
• "Are you serious?"
• "Of course. My future with Andrian is safe and secure"
• "I've heard you, madam safe and secure"
• "Andrian told me his sister asked him to promise her I will never step my foot into his mansion again and he promised her. I really don't know what to do"
• "Why did she say that?"
• "I don't know. She just hates me for no reason, I'm sure she's trying to separate me from Andrian. That brat!"
• "Calm down Zoey, there's got to be a way out. Don't weigh yourself down with irrelevant things, okay?"
• "Alright."
• "Let's go out for a while to clear your head" she suggested
• "Okay. I will just change my clothes"
• This is why she's my best friend. She knows exactly what to do and when yo do it.
• Skylar's POV
• 5:30 pm
• I'm so confused on what to wear right now. I mean, he asked me to come over to his house but I don't know what he wants.
• From the rumors I heard about him, he isn't into ladies so I don't think he will do something nasty to me.
• After going through almost all the clothes I had, I finally settled for a trouser and shirt. I think this is okay.
• "Ella, I'm off to a colleagues place and I won't take too long. Make sure you don't open the door for strangers, okay?"
• "Okay sis. Come back soon and safe"
• I left the house and boarded a cab to the address written on the paper.
• Few minutes later, I was at the gate.
• Wow! The house is really huge and beautiful. Does he live alone in this big house?
• Nah, I don't think so. He probably lives with his extended family.
• I was still admiring the house when the gate opened on its own. Wow! Can this house get more beautiful?
• I walked in immediately. Who knows maybe the gate is going to close on its own again if I don't go in quickly?
• The interior of the house was even more beautiful and I just kept my mouth agape staring at it's mesmerizing beauty.
• This house is definitely going to cost a huge amount of money.
• "This way please" a guard said to me while I followed obediently like a lamb
• I just pray this meeting goes well cos it's my last hope for now.
