The old woman's face flamed in anger how dare he lie to her? She was furious as she looked at Damien. "How dare you lie to me, young man? Do you think I would not find out about the new flash? I did. And your chance of getting a second chance with Lily has now been shortened thanks to you."The old woman eyed him, and just as he was about to say something, a slap landed on his cheek. Bam! He touched his cheek again; it was the second time he had received a slap in just one day. He did not like it; in fact, he was growing impatient, but whenever he thought of Lily and his baby boy, he had no choice but to do whatever she asked and go through all the woman was putting him through. For Lily and his boy, he was willing to do anything; he only wanted them to be with him. He wanted to have a family with Lily and the baby, but he did not know how that would be possible if the old woman keeps pushing him away. "Ma'am, I promise I did not lie to you. I actually went out to get the stuff
Damien did not deserve what he was going through, and he knew that, but what could he do? He wanted his family with him, so he had no choice but to always be on his way to Lily and his baby boy until he got to them and made them stay with him and never leave. He looked at Lily's cousin, who kept laughing at him. He did not know to whom he was talking or laughing, but it was no problem for his family; he could do anything. He thought what he wanted was for Lily to set up a table for three, just them, and whenever he thought he was close to being right, he was wrong. Damien smiled and continued doing what he was doing—cleaning the house while they prepared for the office. He was a bit late as the old woman's assistant, but thankfully he did not find her there, so he stood beside the car waiting for her to come so that they could leave. "You are late, Damien."He heard a familiar voice, and so he turned around to see the old woman standing. She eyed him and looked at him with a fac
wwiWhy should I do that? You and I know that she would not let me get anywhere close to the building talk more of speaking with the mayor it is something I call impossible honey."Lily said, and her voice sounded even more serious than his was, but she didn't take his words seriously, so he frowned at her. "You know I don't like getting insulted, and that is a thing my grandma loves doing to me, so I am not going to get myself insulted any more, so sorry."She blurted out that she did not know why he told her to do such a thing knowing what would happen. "Can you just trust me on this?" "I mean, I never told you to do anything that would make you feel sad, and even now I would not do that; I've already got everything covered."He could hear her sigh from the other side of the call, making him frown, and he sat down again with a wrinkled forehead. "They would not even let me into the building, so there is no need; it's just going to be a waste of time."Lily said to him that she did
"I am really sorry grandma please tell me what I have to do and I would make sure that this time I would get everything fixed I promise." Holding his hands together he said to his grandma who bend her head to the side and rolled her eyes afterward. "I can not trust you with this now Cole don't get me even angry than I already am else you would not expect what you receive. let me think." Eyeing him her blood was boiling she could not just let the deal go away from her "no" she refused to let the deal be sealed by her business opponents as she shook her head. She closed her eyes thinking of what to do but she got no idea she could only blink as she slammed her hand on the table making Cole flinch back a bit. Just as she thought that all hope was lost she heard a knock on the door she looked at Cole and asked, "did you invite anyone? Got any ideas?" She asked to hope that he was going to be useful at least to her and help seal the deal but he shook his head at the head attached to
Lily hesitated but looked at Damien. Seeing him nod his head at her, she took her gaze back to grandma and continued.I promise not only to do that but to also personally throw his things out of the mansion. You never trusted me so can you now?"She looked at the old woman. She did not have any hope that the old woman would give in to her, but she trusted Damien, and she was sure that he knew that if things did not go the way he planned then she would never forgive him for letting go of what they shared as a family."Really, grandma, you should not listen to her. I admit that I messed up big time, but I am sure you know that this is the first time this has happened to me. So if I did not get the contract, what would Lily do?"He smirked at Lily as he muttered those words to the old woman."So if I mean to ask, what exactly do you want me to do?"The old woman's tired voice echoed inside the office as she blended her head and looked at Cole, waiting for his answer but getting nothing f
To be sincere he did not know how he would handle everything but he knew that he was more than capable to think of what to do."That is okay I would go back to the house now grandma is that okay?"After getting a nod from the old woman she turned around and looked at Damian who did not seem to be there he was absent minded so I walked to he and touched he before walking out of the office.Damien came back to the reality and when saw that the door was being closed and Lily was no longer who looks at the woman who did not give him any attention and then he diverted his gaze to Cole who was busy glaring at him, him needed no one to tell him that he was not needed inside there."Ma'am I would also leave if you don't mind."He walked out of the office too when he saw the old woman wave her hand at him.He immediately stepped out because he wanted to see lily before she went back to the mansion."Lily wait a bit."He went after her but he didn't hear her say anything she didn't stop nether
Damien immediately spit out the food he was having in his mouth and ran to the sink, where he got water and washed the remnants of the food left in his mouth.The tease made him feel miserable; he could not imagine giving the food to the old woman, and yes, he knew that his food was not the best, but this could never be compared.He did not know what to do. Confusion overtook his head, and he realized that he had to close his eyes and pour water on his face. Holding it would make him feel a bit calmer, but not a bit of relief.He raised his eyebrows and walked back to where the already made food was kept, and with a wrinkled forehead, he opened and tested all of the 10 dishes he had already made. Either the salt was too strong or the chili flakes were added more than necessary, and he was sure he did not add them.Damien frowned his face, knowing that someone had intentionally ruined the food he made, and he knew just who that person was. Cole.With his wrinkled nose, he did not know
"Really, Cole, of all people, invited me to go and see Damien? This is surprising and shocking to me."Making a face, she continued walking to the kitchen; she wanted to see Damien so badly that she was smiling and grins from the moon and the sun.Finally, she got to the kitchen; she wanted to run up to him and throw herself at him for a hug, but on seeing his face, she frowned. He was standing with his hand on his head, and with his posture, she knew that something was bugging him, but what?Lily looked around and saw that he was already done with the food. Then why was he worried?"Hey, what's up? Why is your face as rotten as a tomato? Come on, tell me."She asked when she worked for him, and yet he did not notice her. Damien looked up at her and smiled at her. He was trying to hide his facial expression, but no matter how hard he tried, his uncomfortable mood was still shown all over him.But unfortunately, nothing could be hidden from her because she already knew him well enough
