Chapter 12 First day at school

• Next day, Theresa Mo got her kids dressed up and ready for school. It's going to be their first day in school and her first day in Office.
• She looked at the boy's and they looked great in their school uniforms. They're three years and a half years old but have the brain and smartness of a ten year old.
• "Are you going to accompany us to school?"Lee Mo asked. He was going to kindergarten in his former school until his mother told him and his brother that they were returning to their country and started another school.
• "Of course darling, I will drop you off at school and return to pick you home"Theresa Mo answered and kissed his temple. She planted a featherlight kiss on Tim's temple as well before walking them out into the car.
• She got into the car and started the day ignition. The kids were so excited, they're going to a new school where they will have  new friends.
• Theresa dropped them off at school and went to the Li's Group where she is to resume work. She was stepping out of the elevator when she bumped into a tall figure. 
• She almost stumbled over but fell into the arms of the man. She felt embarrassed and mumbled sorry before regaining her balance.
• She apologised and felt the scent of the man's body was somewhat familiar. She apologized but before raising her head and looking at the man's face, he already shoved her aside casually and took a handkerchief cleaning his arms and suit on which Theresa Mo fell on.
• He had turned his back to her and the elevator gradually closed. She looked around and saw some unfamiliar faces staring at her.
• " Hello I'm Theresa Mo, a new employee of the company. I am to see the President first before settling down into the office"Theresa Mo explained to the person closest to her.
• She was directed here as the President's floor where she can find him. She presumed the person she was talking to must be a secretary with the ID card hung around her neck.
• "Do you know the President if you see him?"The fellow asked and Theresa Mo said no. She's never met him before.
• "I presume. The man you bump into when you were stepping out of the elevator is the President and I guess he is traveling" the secretary replied and smiled at Theresa Mo.
• Theresa Mo was speechless. He was leaving when she was walking in. Who's going to endorse her to office now?
• "You are welcome Theresa Mo. I am Julia Li, the vice president" The voice came from another end of the lobby.  
• Theresa Mo turned and saw a cute looking dude who bears a lot resemblance with her boys. She squinted and then smiled. 
• " Hi" Theresa Mo greeted him with a polite smile. She walked over to him and he shook hands with her before asking her to follow him.
• Theresa Mo turned back and smiled at the secretary who first talked to her and waved at her. The secretary bowed slightly and smiled back at her.
• The secretary admired Theresa Mo at once and liked her. Theresa's smile is contagious. Her smile automatically makes you have a relaxed facial expression and willingly reciprocate it.
• Julia Li took Theresa Mo to his office. A well furnished room with a sophisticated sofa. The desk was made from special timbers, maybe mahogany to be precise.
• He offered her a seat and told her he was to welcome her to the company. The President wouldn't be around for a week and she needs to resume work at once.
• He is President Junxie Li's brother. He gave a brief introduction of himself and at the same time was throwing snacks into his mouth.
• Theresa Mo likes his humorous side and appreciates him. He showed her to her  office adjacent to the President and Vice president.
• Theresa Mo got an office and she was pleased to start work at once. She included it in her resume that she's a single mother and Julia Li told her she should feel free to ask him questions on things she doesn't understand.
• Her first job came right that day. She's to design a set of jewelry for a highly placed country ambassador in celebrating his wife's birthday.
• Theresa was good at her job and she set to work. She drafted the sketches and was going to begin the designs when the time for lunch clocked.
• She went to lunch and was fortunate to meet Julia Li at the cafeteria. They ordered their meal and ate silently. The more Theresa Mo looks at Julia Li, the more she sees her boys in him.
• It is odd to ask him stupid questions but he might be her kids father. But she doesn't want anyone to share their love with her. 
• The kids are hers and hers alone. She is not ready to acknowledge anyone as their father. She doesn't want any man to stand before her with his toothpick legs to say he wants to share custody of her kids.
• She asked him if they had met before and Julia said not likely. Besides going through her resume and seeing her pictures attached, he had never met her until that morning.
• Theresa Mo smiled and said she felt she had met him somewhere before but he shouldn't mind. People have their twins elsewhere.
• Lanre waited and Rosa arrived. He was happy when he saw her. She took the empty seat opposite him and smiled faintly.
• Lanre said he was expecting that she would come and she did. He appreciated her and the waiter came to pick their orders.
• While Rosa eats noodles, Lanre orders rice and they eat. When they were through, they said a few things and Lanre was saying things that kept Rosa laughing.
• When the lunch hour was almost over, Lanre paid the bill and held Rosa by the hand and went out. He asked if she came with her car and Rosa said no.
• They got into Lanre's tinted car. That was when Lanre told her he wants them to be friends just to get to know each other better.
• If she likes him they can start a relationship, that is if she doesn't have a boyfriend already. Rosa didn't say yes or no. She likes Lanre since they met the day before.
• He told her he doesn't have a girlfriend at the time and hasn't been in a relationship for a long time. He waited to hear Rosa's reply but the latter just bowed her head.
• "I will give you time but we'll keep seeing each other"Lanre said but Rosa said she doesn't want to begin a relationship with him because of a certain reason.
• Lanre squinted and asked her what her reasons were but Rosa said nothing again. He knows this type of women, they are shy but have a likeness in them already.
• He thought and he could only think of one reason; Theresa Mo! She wants him to define their relationship.
• "Well if you are thinking about Theresa Mo, she's a lovely woman but we are friends. We don't have a crush on each other but to convince you, I will have a talk with her that I have a crush on you and wants us to start a relationship.
• Then you will be convinced that we have grown to become good friends."Lanre explained, turning sideways and glancing at Rosa.
• "Theresa Mo has gone through alot already. What if she loves you and you are yet to see through her eyes. I am the only girlfriend she has. I don't want to.."Rosa was trying to explain things to her.
• "Same goes for me. She trusts me so much and I don't want to betray her trust. But I'm not just a doctor, I also study psychology and I know if a woman has a crush on a man. 
• Theresa Mo has no such feelings for me. Her feelings were innocent and nothing of what you are afraid of"Lanre assured.
• That way, Rosa was a little relaxed and nodded her head. Lanre then asks if she has already accepted him and Rosa blushes.
• He chuckled and started the ignition. He got to the company where Rosa worked. He pulled her to himself and kissed her gently and sweetly. 
• They both were lost in each other's arms kissing. Rosa closed her eyes and let him take her lips as he kissed her passionately until he pulled away and smiled.
• Rosa was shy and turned her face away quickly, opening the car and going away without glancing back. 
• Lanre saw her go into the company before he started the car and went away. Rosa licked her lips and liked Lanre's method of kissing.
• Soon the day work was over and Theresa Mo drove to the kindergarten to get her kids when she suddenly stumbled upon a certain person:
