Later that day, Kendrick called and called Jennifer’s phone but she didn’t pick up. She needed enough space to get herself together so as to know her next course of action. After that day, he stopped calling and didn’t bother to check up on her to know if she was even alright. Deep down, it killed Jennifer that her own man for 6 years wasn’t even moved to find out if she had seriously hurt herself or something. Despite being hurt and broken, she still felt happy that she was able to know her stand in their relationship so as to stop whatever investment she was making to see that they worked out.
Life moved on eventually after many weeks of crying and being overly emotional. Jennifer’s friends were aware of what she was going through and made sure to be there for her. The next month, there was another wedding to attend and Jennifer happened to be the maid of honour to the bride. She worked selflessly and tirelessly to make sure that her friend’s day was the best.
Due to the fact that Jennifer was loaded financially, she used her money to carry out some activities in preparation of her friend’s Big day. She did everything from the button of her heart without any intensions of God rewarding her with a husband due to her selfless work for her friend’s wedding. At that moment, she was happily single and not desperately searching.
Matter of fact, Jennifer had deliberately removed her mind from anything that concerned marriage and wedding fantasies. She needed and secretly yearned for it, no doubts but she just decided to stop stressing herself up for things she couldn’t control.
The D-day for the wedding finally came and Jennifer’s friend was looking breathtaking. It was such a beautiful moment all through and some emotional people dropped a few tear drops every now and then. After the church wedding, everyone headed to the reception for merriment and to have a good time. Jennifer didn’t dance much because she was the shy type and couldn’t dance to save her life. She happily carried out her maid of honour duties and didn’t have time to pay much attention to the things happening around her.
After the merriment and enjoyment, it was time for the bride to throw her bouquet. Alot of ladies gathered behind her and Jennifer was amongst them too. They all counted from one to five expecting the bride to throw the bouquet but she hurriedly located Jennifer and personally handed it over to her.
It was such an angelic moment for Jennifer because she didn’t see that kind gesture coming at all. Unable to contain her joy, she raised the bouquet up and happiness like never before overshadowed all her being. Jennifer was so happy that even a blind man could tell. She hugged her friend tightly and they both shed few tear drops. Other ladies who were expecting to catch the bouquet but didn’t, clapped in excitement after the little breathtaking scene.
After that moment, Jennifer danced her legs out and suddenly activated the celebration mood. The wedding sadly ended and everyone retired back to their houses. All through the remaining hours of that day, Jennifer couldn’t stop smiling and decorated her house with the bouquet.
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months and Jennifer was still keeping body and soul together. She focused more on her career ventures and not on things she couldn’t control. It’s been over 5 months since her and Kendrick parted ways. Jennifer tried to remain positive about finding love again but didn’t let that hope turn her into a desperate and thirsty person. Back at work, she wasn’t slacking one bit and closed multiple deals for her company.
Due to Jennifer’s outstanding work inputs, her boss appointed her to represent their company for a business seminar that was upcoming. Turns out that she was also going to speak as one of the facilitators in the seminar. In preparation for the seminar, Jennifer read lots of books and relevant work materials aimed at preparing her for the lecture she was going to give.
The D-day finally came and Jennifer arrived at the venue early and fully prepared. She checked in at the facilitators section and sat quietly at one corner of the hall. She paid attention to every single person that spoke before her and made sure not to miss a thing.
After over fiver facilitators had lectured, it was now Jennifer’s turn to mount the stage. When her name was called upon, she gracefully walked down to the stage as people clapped for her. When the microphone was handed over to her, she began to spill wisdom upon wisdom that everyone was extremely impressed and marvelled.
However, while Jennifer spoke, there was somebody that couldn’t take his eyes off her. This handsome bachelor was so engrossed in her teaching and also the elegance at which she spoke and carried herself. “Who’s she?” he wondered as he looked intensely at her. On the gentlemen’s hand was the brochure of the seminar that contained the names and profession of all the facilitators at the seminar. Curious to know who Jennifer was, he flipped through and finally spotted her picture and brief info.
One thing was clear to the gentleman that day and it was the fact that he wasn’t going to let the lady that stole his attention slip right through his hands. In 30 minutes time, Jennifer was done with her lecture and descended the stage with a clapping ovation. Everyone was impressed with her lecture and couldn’t hold back their hands from clapping.
Immediately Jennifer descended from the podium, she went straight to her seat and sat down. After taking a deep breath and breathing in and out due to the tension she was feeling at that moment, she settled down and enjoyed the rest of the seminar.
At around passed 5pm that day, the seminar came to an end and everyone tried to network with one another. Jennifer didn’t have much time to spare to network so she hurriedly packed her notes inside her bag, greeted few people and headed towards the door. Unknowingly to her, a gentleman had been watching her every move and was waiting at the entrance for her to pass by.
“Nice speech!” Jennifer heard out of nowhere as she passed through the door. She immediately turned to see who said that and jammed eyes with the handsome gentleman standing close to the entrance door frame. It took Jennifer a few seconds to process what was happening and what to say or do. “Thank you” she politely said in a calm tone. Their eyes were still slightly locked with each other but Jennifer tried to unlock it.
