" watch your tongue if you don't know what to say just leave," said Nina who was so mad that she was criticizing her because of a boy.

"Then I'll be leaving. I have a house after all" said, Jane

" Jane you know she didn't mean it. said, Thea who was trying to prevent them from fighting or hating each other?

'Okay. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. I really love this v.v.i.p guy" said Nina trying to explain to her friend how much her support means to her regarding her new crush but she didn't get it because to her it's the same thing. One minute she's in love and the next she's isn't. She couldn't understand why her friends were like that. So she doesn't listen whenever they mention boys.

"Whatever. I have to go. Bye girls"

"c'mon she just apologized," Said Thea.

"Forgotten but I have to go. I have a mail that I'm expecting."

They bid her goodbye as

she leaves and continued their discussion.

"you're really in love with this guy"? Asked Thea.

It's not like Nina to fall in love. she was trying to understand what she said to Jane. Nina understood her curiosity.

" This is different. I'm really in love and I know it."

" I'm glad. why don't you call him" suggested Thea.

Although she believe her friend she wanted to hear the guy's side of the story if he had the intention of dating her friend.

" That's a good idea " smirked Nina as she dials his number.

" Hello. who is this?? Asked Arthur.

Hearing his voice Nina was on the moon. she was smiling so brightly till Thea snapped her finger on her face reminding her that she was on the phone with someone

"It's me, Nina Richards. The personnel manager you met at a party on Saturday"

"Oh Miss Richards. I remember"

she sighs" thank God you remember me"

"Is that a fact? What can I do for, you Miss Richards?? Asked Arthur.

Surprised at the sudden all. He had to be certain of calls thinking it was about business.

She thought for a while because she wasn't expecting him to say that.

"You promised me a date," said Nina.

"No, I didn't." Denied Arthur

who couldn't remember saying such a thing to her.

" Yes, you did say Nina.

trying to make it look convincing

and it did.

"Okay. I'll keep to my word. I'm not in the UK right now. I'll be in the UK by Friday for some paperwork next week. I'll give you a call if that's alright with you" said, Arthur.

The truth is she was very excited and couldn't believe it worked then she thought he was an easy-going kind of guy.

"Yes yes. Anything you say. I'll be waiting for your call. Can I call you anytime?? asked Nina

"This is my business line. I'll call you with my personal number"

knowing what she meant. how dare he not give the initiative

" ok. is now or later?? asked Nina. she wanted him to give her his personal number that moment to avoid him changing his mind .

" do you want it now?? he asked

" yes, I do. I do" he called her with his personal number and she saved it. being very happy she screamed out of her voice and Thea was surprised by the way they spoke and was happy for her friend.

The company host a business party. there were many businessmen and women. distinguished ladies and gentlemen from all over the world.

Nina was looking forward to meeting their guest of honor who is the most wanted bachelor of her dreams. As she searched, her eyes wandered for the boy of her dreams.

" Sir if I may ask, where's the guest of honor? "

she was dressed in a v neck purple gown with heels and light makeup to impress him with her natural beauty.

"He's on his way ' replied her director"

she sigh and thought to herself as long as he's single she doesn't mind.

"Mr. Reeves I've heard a lot about you," said the director"

"I hope they're good deeds?" Arthur replied sternly.

"Of course. let me introduce my personnel manager Nina Richards: our finest"

Nina took a look at the boy in front of her with his blues eyes and exquisite blue suit tall sexy figure and low-cut hair she felt her heartbeat at the highest rate.

"It's nice to meet you miss Richards" his vocal sexy voice sounded like a sweet melody in her ear .she snapped out of her daydream when she saw him still stretching his hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too. My pleasure. I've heard a lot about you"

" Like what," he asked eagerly.

"Like you winning the Pulitzer price five times" she commented trying to connect with him through his achievement.

"That's my calling" then he saw his ex and decided to talk to her.

"Can we talk later miss Richards? I have to talk to someone"

" Alright can I have your complimentary card? " she asked

without much delay he gave her his card and walked away to meet his ex. Nina was still daydreaming thinking her dream has come true.

"What are you doing here," he asked.

" I came to see if you brought a date," said Anna with a mischievous grin.

"well, are you satisfied?" asked Arthur.

Her reason for coming was to check if he left her because of another woman but she was wrong.

'Let's get back together. I'll be there for you I promise. I'm reaching out to you for the first time" she said

"And you realized it after I broke up? what a shame I'm not interested. too late. "

" please"

" I'm sorry Anna. I have a project to commission"

"Yeah, you do that. I'll wait and we're not done talking" smirked Anna. he left and she saw Nina staring at him erotically and she thought to herself. Is she hitting on her man?? l must do something fast.

Arthur went ahead to meet his fellow investors and exchange pleasantries. The party was soon done with and Nina was very glad she got his number. she was the lucky one or so she thought.

In Thea's room

Nina couldn't wait to spill the good news to her best friend

"Guess what girls"??

"What! you got the v.i.p? asked an excited Thea"

"No not that. she got promoted as the new director" said Jane

who had no idea why Thea will think that's what Nina meant?

"Wrong Jane. Thea is right. I got his card " she said excitedly.

"Boys again? don't you have better things to say? said a disappointed Jane. she doesn't understand why her friends always talk about boys. she knew that was her cue to leave.

Arthur walks into his parent's living room.

" Sonny," Diana exclaimed: excited to see him.

"what is it mom ? said Arthur almost grumbling.

"Your dad can't attend my party this week can you honor it for me?? asked Diana batting her eyelashes at him.

"why me? Philip should do it. he's your right-hand man" Arthur retorted wondering why his mother is disturbing his peaceful entering.

"Because you're my son and your father will be disappointed," said Diana rather perplexed. The truth is she knows he yields only to his father's command.

"But I'm not your only son mom" retorted Arthur clearly not understanding why he can't have peace anytime he comes home.

"you know how your brother is, he's nothing like us," said Diana trying to convince him.

He frowns then said " ok I'll reschedule. if that's all can I go in now?? He asked rather irritated.

"yes thank you son" replied Diana. He sighs then walked to his younger brother's room.

"Hello little brother," said Arthur. As he hasn't seen him for a long time.

"Hey, bro," said Adam it's been long I saw you.is it because I told you to buy me a car? asked Adam. he couldn't help but laugh at his brother's joke

"I can recall what you said I have been busy but I promise to buy you one when next I visit," said Arthur. Adam lightened up a little after hearing him make a promise.

"can I ask you a question," asked Adam. he nodded as a sign for him to ask.

"why do everybody hate me, "he asked. Arthur froze at his brother's question and smiled then gave him a straight answer.

"Nobody hates you Adam it's just that you're twenty and you don't want to study business leaving dad to give Philip your position mom feels bad about it"

"But you're there besides business is not my field. I want to be a priest. go to the seminary school. That's what I want big brother" said Adam giving him a straight answer as he said please make it three weeks which he agreed and promised to call him daily.

In Manchester

Jane returned from work knocking. in fact, banging the door calling out her friend's name

"Thea, Thea "she continued calling.

"Jane, what is it answered" Thea who was looking like she has been beaten to a pulp yelled from a distance.

"What happened to you? you look awful"

"I know. I have a running stomach said" Thea clutching her stomach.

Jane laughed "well, that's awkward" finding her words amusing as. she felt a medical doctor shouldn't have a running stomach.

"This isn't funny "scolded Thea I have tried taking some drugs but they're not effective" she paused then ran into the restroom to throw up.

"Nothing I eat goes down" Jane who was amused before knew its serious then stop joking.

"really?? she asked

what do we do now? I'll go and buy you some vomit pills okay?

she helped her to the bedroom.

"thank you but no clumsiness. my life depends on it "said Thea.

she was surprised she called her clumsy but ran out anyway to get the drugs.

Minutes past then she returned to get her food so that she can take her drugs which she did and after taking the drug Thea slept off.

The next morning, Thea woke up and saw Jane sleeping in the kitchen.

"Jane, why are you sleeping in the kitchen? she asked

"oh, you're awake? Jane answered rubbing her eyes as Thea kept staring at her wondering how she got better within a night's sleep.

"that's not what I asked," said Thea. Jane checked the time and screamed

"omg I'm late see you later

As she hurried off to work she passed Nina by the way who was surprised to see her running off like that.

"what's she up to?" asked Nina

"she's probably late for work," said Thea who narrated her last night ordeal to Nina.

"then you owe Jane one"

"yeah," said Thea then continued "why are you home early? surprised to see her on her working hour she had to ask.

"I know right. there's something we're working on its a secret" said Nina who didn't want to go any further.

"c'mon tell me let me guess. this

secret of yours involves an important person right? she giggles. Nina couldn't deny it

"When you put it like that I have to admit it does so please make me look more beautiful. I know that's your specialty" said Nina

"no, I'm a doctor but you're an exception" they smiled at each other as they went to the fitting room to begin.
