CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE“What? What is the matter?” Novan asked the moment he noticed the countenance on her face but for a few seconds she refused to say any words to him.She glued her eyes on the screen of the computer still holding on to the card and refused to even look up to Novan.“Excuse me! Hello.” He called out to her again but still there was no response from the receptionist who appeared to have been pissed off from the way she was breathing.“Please can…”“Take this rubbish card and get out of here with your filthy self!” She finally yelled at him, as she stoned the card on his body making it bounce on his chest before it fell to the ground.Novan was taken aback, for a few seconds he couldn’t find the right words to say to her and this made him mumble some words which he himself couldn’t really understand.Slowly he bent down and picked the card which was not too far away from him. He looked at it, turning it over and over again to be sure that there was nothing wrong with it,

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREEThe attention of everyone in the area moved away from the reception area and quickly moved towards a tall lady walking in with two scary guards on her two sides. At that moment, everyone especially the guard who wanted to hijack Novan and throw him out of the building was at attention.“What the hell is she doing here?” Novan said silently the moment he saw Maya walking in with the two bodyguards beside her.With a smile on her face and with her steps increasing gradually, Maya walked up to Novan and hugged him to the astonishment of everyone especially Rita.At that moment, the two bodyguards that came with Maya had already pushed the guard trying to kick Novan off the building, they pushed him away to the side making him to stagger and almost fall to the ground. Ella gasped in shock when she saw this.“Who could she be? What really would she be doing with poor Richie?” Rita said to herself not sure if she was dreaming or awake.“Hello dear, sorry I am late. What

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVEMaya continued to drag Novan gently through the hallway silently as he held on to his tacky bag firmly with the two guards matching behind them, he wanted to speak so many times but the presence of the bodyguards didn’t let him. He didn’t want to embarrass Maya right before them so he waited for the right time.With Maya still holding on to his hands, they walked towards the elevator and one of the guards rushed to open the door before they got it and went up the last floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Maya continued walking confidently towards the end of the hallway by their right.“How does she know this place so we!!?” Novan said to himself still trying to keep his hands in that position as Maya held on to it.They soon got to the end of the hallway and Maya took out the key card which she swiped on the door before her. It unlocked and she entered still holding on to Novan’s hand while the guards waited outside the door after one of them had shut it

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENNovan’s eyes widened as he turned towards Maya, he wasn’t sure why he was even reacting that way but something told him that she made the decision harshly.“What did you call off the engagement Maya?” He said calmly when he realized that he had acted out of impulse.Maya turned to him and sighed, then she adjusted her body leaning forward from the chair. For a few seconds she was lost in thoughts and said nothing to Novan who was waiting for her to speak.“Maya?”“I don’t know alright! I don’t know!”“What do you mean by you don’t know? Do you just wake up to take such a decision? There must have been something, probably he cheated or something.”“Maybe, I am not sure. Look, I am confused.”“Does anyone else know about this?” Novan asked drawing a little bit closer to her.“Just you. I don’t want anyone else’s to find out, especially my parents; my father would be so pissed if he gets to find out about this.” Maya said, then she took in enough air and exhaled shar

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE“What! What are you saying Maya?” Novan exclaimed with both of his eyes bulging as though they were going to fall off from their sockets. He immediately leaned forward and observed Maya thoroughly to be sure she wasn’t joking.“Yes! That would be an amazing idea.” Maya continued excitedly, she seemed to have figured everything out within a few seconds.“No Maya. No! You must be joking right? This is some silly joke.” Novan said but the lady sitting right next to him wasn’t budging but seemed to be really serious with her crazy idea.“Listen to me Novan. You really have to help me out here.” Maya said, then she proceeded to take both of Novan’s hands but he pulled them backwards immediately.“This is insane Maya, absolutely insane.”“But it seems like the only thing that is going to get me out of this situation.”“How Maya? How is getting married to me, me? How is that going to get you out of this situation?” Novan asked with a high pitch trying to understand what wa
