Chapter 4 Meeting My Savior

My granddaughter, my granddaughter, Lady Diana called as she stretches forth her hand in anticipation of a hug.

Isabel hugged her tightly... thank God you are fine. am so glad that you are okay Mrs. Diana. Isabel said calmly.

where have you been? why did you leave just like that Lady Diana asked?

Am sorry Mrs. Diana, but I had to.

I did what was best at that moment after making sure you were in safe hands.

Isabel said while looking at Leonard who was standing at the door without any expression on his face.

Isabel now that I have found you, I won't let you go ever again. how about you come and work for my grandson? lady Diana asked while looking at her grandson.

Leonard threw a glance at Isabel as if he was begging her to agree to his grandma's request.

back at the hospital's canteen, it wasn't easy for him to convince Isabel to go with him to see his grandma... There and then, Leonard concluded that Isabel is a very determined and strong-willed woman who knows exactly what she wants.

a very determined lady that can't be pushed around.

Isabel, I need you to come work with us, I need a secretary. you will be offered a house, a car and the salary is also cool.

He paused and continued that's my way of saying thank you for all you have done for my grandma.

Leonard you don't need to thank me, what I did, I did from the depth of my heart and will still do it over again if the circumstances call for it.

you don't need to reward me Isabel firmly stated.

Let's do it this way Isabel, I figured out at the canteen that you won't accept a dime from us when I offered to pay for your meal but you declined.

but the case here is different

I need a fast thinker to work with us at our company, Leonard pursed, bit his lips, and continued.

all the other benefits are mere benefits attached to the job. so please miss Isa I won't take no for an answer.

But! Isabel said... Leonard interrupts Isabel before she could make a complete sentence. your critical thinking saved my Grandma's life and it will be an honor to have you at Rivera cooperation.

please do put that into consideration.

Ok I will, Isabel replied while smiling at lady Diana. I have to go now but I will get in touch soon.

Okay, my beloved granddaughter if you insist, but my Leonard will drop you off at your home. Lady Diana said happily. Not giving her any chance to object.

But being the independent lady that she is, she politely turned down their offer.

No don't worry I will pick a cab, don't worry about me Isabel said".

No no no, am afraid that is not allowed here Leonard said as he held her hands, waved at his grandma, and led Isabel to his car.

Isabel where do you live, Leonard asked?

Words alone cannot describe how happy lady Diana was after seeing Isabel again, her joy knew no bounds.

her facial expression lightened up, unlike her previous gloomy look since she got discharged from the hospital. she was happy and it was obvious to everyone around her.

She was dancing even though no music was playing and she didn't hesitate to tell anyone who cared to listen that she have found a good wife for her grandson.

Lady Diana was deeply overjoyed.

Isabel, Leonard called for the second time, pardon my manners but the truth is that am greatly overwhelmed with a feeling of deep satisfaction for fulfilling my promise to my grandma.

am glad that I found you as I promised her but please allow me to fulfill all I promised my grandma, as I am known to keep my word.

Please kindly tell me where you live and I will take you there.

Leonard, Isabel called in a soft tone, please can I drive your car to my house? the truth is that I miss driving.

Wow she's not only a hero but she can also drive, that's quite interesting Leonard said.

without answering Isabel's question, Leonard came down from the driver's seat, opened the door for Isabel, bowed before her, and said... miss Isabel May you please drive us to your home.

Isabel was flabbergasted by this singular gesture and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
