  • Sitting in his well funished luxurious office, Mr christ smith is busy with his system and going through some documents as well.
  • Hearing a knock on the door, he raised his heard.
  • ‘’come in". He voiced out.
  • The door flung open, Dara, his secretary walked in. "Good day sir". She greeted. He nodded regarding her. "Mr Uwem is waiting to see you".
  • "send him in".
  • "alright sir". She did a quick bow and walked out.
  • In less than a minute, the door open revealing Mr. Uwem, a close friend of his.
  • "mr. smith". he called out pulling out a seat and sitting infront on his desk.
  • "it's been a while Mr Uwem". mr. smith replied. Smiling back at him, he shifted his system so as to concentrate on the conversation.
  • Mr. Uwem had been Mr smiths best friend for years in buisness, they meet during a buisness trip at Turkey. That was when Mr. Smith's wife Flora was alive.
  • "Sure, it's been a while". Uwem replies streching his right hand for an a hand shake. Smith took it without hesitation.
  • "So how's the company ?"
  • "Everything is going just well as expected". He shrugged and smith nodded in agreement. "guess what!"
  • "You know how much i suck at guessing, so just tell me already". Smith rolled his eyes.
  • "Alright, my son's engagement party is coming up in three days time". Uwem smiled, excitement written boldly on his face.
  • "Wow that's great news". Smith said.
  • "Exactly". Uwem replied suddenly. "And you and your son are specially invited".
  • "Ofcourse. We can't possibly miss such a party". Uwem nodded. He knew his friend would always support him. "my son will be coming with his fiancee".
  • "Your son is is engaged ?" Uwem asked in surprise.
  • "No, i'm married".
  • They turn to see Noel standing in front of they door. They exchanged glances, certainly bearing the same question in mind.
  • When did he arrive ?
  • What does he mean by he's married ?
  • Noel walked forward, haulting in front of his father.
  • "Morning Mr. Uwem". He said streching his right hand.
  • "Morning Noel". Uwem shook his hand. He turned to his dad.
  • "Dad..."
  • "What nonsense are you saying Noel". Smith interrupted his son.
  • "Well". He smiled and continue "i'm married Dad and it's Legal". He concluded taking a seat.
  • "Since when ?" Smitt asked. All this while Uwem sat speechless.
  • "Since yesterday, and i'll be attending the party with my wife. That sounds better right".
  • "Right". Uwem nodded in agreement.
  • Smith glared at his son still in disbelieve.
  • "See you soon dad". He smile getting up. Waving at Uwem he left the office.
  • "Thought you said your son is engaged smith ?" Uwem twisted his eye brows.
  • "I thought so too, and with what he said a minute ago. I'm as surprise as you". He replied resting on his chair.
  • 。。。
  • "Hey best! How are you doing ?" Ray bang into Blossom's office unannounced.
  • She raised her head, shooting him a glare. If looks could kill, he sure would be six feets beneath at the moment.
  • "what are you doing in my office Ray ?" she asking putting down her pen and then twisting her eye brows.
  • "Ofcourse i'm coming to my bestie's office, what do you think ?" He pulled out a seat and sat on it.
  • "This is working hours Ray and you're supposed to be busy in your office".
  • Ray is the companies manager and his office is the next office after her's.
  • "Ehnn !" He scoffed. "I don't have anything to do for now, so i'm free".
  • "I don't think so". she looked at him suspiciously. She knew how hectic work at Blossoming sparkles(her company) is, so there's no way Ray can be free at the moment. Except...
  • "Wait !" she said suddenly, probably she thought about something. "Did you ask your secretary to assist you ?"
  • "Must you be a detective best ?" He asked and her lips curved in a smile, she thought right. "well. If you insist, i told her to help me with some files". He added "It's not something difficult you know". He shrugged.
  • "Lazy ass". She added and they busted into a round of laughter.
  • "so. Did he send it ?" Ray asked
  • "he who exactly dude". She sat back folding her hands.
  • "really, you've forgotten your husband so soon, come on girl it's Noel". He started.
  • "he's not my husband Ray". She snapped.
  • "he...."
  • "whatever Best". she interrupted him and then rolled her eyes. "so you wanted to talk to wilfred, i'll be doing a video call with him in the evening, so i was thinking;since you wanted to speak with him earlier you can join us". She explained.
  • He shake his head, smirking.
  • "You're lucky i didn't speak with him earlier".
  • "what do you mean by that ?" She asked frowning.
  • "well, if i had speak with him, do you know what i would have said ?" He smirk,it didn't look good.
  • "how would i know, i'm not dwelling in your mind anyway". She shrugged. "tell me, what would you say?".
  • "i would have tell him you're married".
  • "what? that's too much Ray, why would you even do that tale-tell". She snorted. She had always known that Ray never liked Wilfred, he was just playing along so she won't feel bad especially when she talked to him about it. He had promise to change and he did just that, even though Wilfred wasn't comfortable around him.
  • "it's not about being a tale-tell best, i have to be sincere, Wilfred is so pompous and damn! He's so full of himself. Everything is always about him and i'm still wondering why or what made you fall in love with him. Probably, i should say, what did you see in him ?" He paused and then answered his question. "Maybe his face".
  • "there's nothing wrong with my boyfriend and i love him the way he is, i don't care if you like him Ray. Plus i saw a lot to make me fall for him". She replied in a serious tune.
  • "whatever, there's nothing likeable about him anyway. You both are in the same class, i mean he's rich and you're rich as well, you both own a company, that's alright". He raised his hands in the air in surrender.
  • Blossom smile at him, he didn't understand what love meant, because if he does, he wouldn't be saying any of this. Wilfred is practically her world. Then she remembered something.
  • "i know why you're saying this". She smirk.
  • "why ?"
  • "Because of that Noel of a guy right ?"
  • "He's literary an angel best, such a cool guy". He winked at her.
  • "Looks can be decieving best, he might be a crazy beast you never know". She said.
  • "well, i don't think so and i trust my instinct". he crossed his legs. "okay look at this". He made an imaginary illustration with his hands. "He's super cute, not need to say but he's wealthy, he's a cool guy and who knows the ladies man. Any girl would kill to get him". He concluded with a sigh.
  • "first. I'm Blossom, not any GIRL". she stressed the girl. "and secondly, i can't kill. Now killing to get some random fine faced dude is what i can't do and can never do and you know it".
  • "look bestie. I'm not saying you should leave your beloved Wilfred". He rolled his eyes, and she chuckle. "but what if you're really married, just mabe".
  • "that c..."
