CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Lara walked out of the office, closing the door behind her. She was tired of the game he was playing what party and why the hell is she going to see Sophia Blake. By the time she got to her office, she crashed on the couch. As she glared angrily at the file that laid on the table."What are you up to Ansel Yorke? Is this another one of your trap" she grunts under her breath. She had repaired a whole night before just for this presentation only for the Blake family to call it off and now she will be heading for a party in a high society crowd yet again. The door to her office opened and her manager walked in."What are you doing here? The Blake representatives should be here any moment what are you doing..... cold feet?"Lara scoffed, "I wish....." she says clicking her tongue. "well.... all we've been planning is being shifted 9:00 pm tonight. The Blake reps are not coming.""Really...? I wasn't informed." He looked at her she was already discouraged."You should go. See this as a m
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The next morning came it was calm and windy. The weather you harm and cloudy the rain will last night had fallen all through the night. She laid in her bedroom covered in her blanket. Her eyes shut close as she laid the sprawled on the bed trying to find the strength stand up. The event from last night played in her memory... the way her family had ask her to play Ansel again. She knew they were consumed in their own greed not minding what they had done to him in the past, now she was trying to redeem herself from the she had done to him.It was passed 6:00 a.m. and she needed to prepare for work. She slowly got up, sitting at the edge of her bed as she wondered for if going to work was actually important but then, she had a presentation in the office today and she had spend the rest of the night trying to piece together margins from the quarter of the year which she was done before morning and opted for a brief nap which extended to a long sleep.Sitting upright, she rubbed h
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Lara Jane stood in front of the house; this was the last house left for the Cree family after the bankruptcy.Holding her bag as her grip around it tightens. She hated home not in the way one would think, but he was always reminded of the bad choices she made because of them.She lost the man she loves because of their greed to push her to Paul. Now, she was no use to them, and now is dumped by both.She lost big time, she lost Ansel, Paul and more importantly, she lost the company.She sighed watching Ansel's Car disappear into the dark, the droplets' of rain began, the door opened shortly, "Here? Why are you just standing there....you should come in" hi voice said from behind, "What're you doing here? Thought you disappeared.""And that is the welcome I get?"Lara rolled her eyes at Jeremiah, "whatever..." She cooed, walking into the house, her mom and dad were seeing a movie, and her grandmother was sipping coffee when she walked-in."You're back?" Her mom announced darting her g
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The car drove through the rain, it had already decreased in its intensity, it was more windy now. Lara sighed as she checked her time. It was past 8pm, the car ride was quiet and it got her thinking. Ansel was right; she had no right whatsoever to demand things. She just prayed he had listened to her. The company was sentimental to her and he knew how important it was to her. It was so important to her she jeopardized their marriage just for the company and now it seemed like it was revenge rather than outright sale. He said he was not being petty over it so that's not good.Ansel stared intently at the rear mirror as it cast her face on it, she had faced the window gazing outside, he saw her wipe her eyes"She can't be crying?" He said to himself without her hearing.He sighed, the silence was immediately ruined by the ringtone of his phone, he looked at it,Sophia.A silent smile cut across his face, one that didn't go unnoticed by Lara-jane."What's he smiling for? My misery?" But
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"Are you done?" His voice broke the silence in her office, she lifted her gaze, staring at him. He was prepared to leave the office, but a little fickle of light from her office, he couldn't just walk passed."You'll just ask to take her home, that's it" he told himself but then seeing struggle to finish up the task he gave her earlier, he concluded he was the reason for her last hour in the office Lara went in a daze and hid her expression as she stared in confusion. Why? She wondered why he was in line, or there wasn't anyone around. "I'm fine," she said briefly, and then went back to the old files she was working through. Ansel watched Lara for a while. She looked the same from five years before, but she was immediately humble and calmer now. The light passed in on her face from the screen on the laptop she was using. He could see how tense she was, she was bad at hiding her true expressions. "Don't worry, I won't eat you up," he said, and with a little bit of laughter, stari
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Lara walked out of the boardroom, her chest beating so fast like she just ran a marathon, her look like she had just walked through the snow storm. Holding the files in her hands, what just happened? The distant chattering of the employees in their offices, some still in awe how handsome their CEO is.She felt bit irritated, could it be it was because she was once married to him, she didn't know what to do, its going to be weird it she resigned. This job had been feeding home and her number one survival mode."Please, Ansel, I just hope you don't make this harder for me " she breath underneath her breath, heading for her office, she stopped halfway,"Should I go asked him were we stand?" It sounded off, rather "Wouldn't he think I'm being to ..." Just then a voice interrupted her thoughts."Lara Jane?" The familiar voice called, she turned swiftly to see her managers face, she did know if hewa impressed or disappointed."That was brilliant "he said, as his lips curve into a smile, sh
