BON AVENUE RESTAURANT

Adams and Annabel entered the restaurant holding hands. Linda and the rest were unable to recognize her

They were shown to the VIP table and sat down

Esther walked up to them with the menu and gave Adams a seductive look. Annabel felt a ping of anger but controlled herself

“What would you like to have sir?”Esther asked

“Let my fiancee order hers first”Adams smiled

Esther was hurt that her crush already had a fiancee. She turned to Annabel

“What would you like to have ma?”Esther asked

Annabel looked up

“Hi”She waved and Esther stumbled back in shock

“A…An…Annabel?”She stuttered

“Yes”Annabel answered

“He…he said…he called you his fiancee”Esther gasped

“Yes. We’re getting married soon”Adams smiled

Esther stood there dazed. Her thoughts wandered faraway completely forgetting she had two people to attend to.

Linda came to her

“Esther,what is wrong with you? Can’t you see that they’re waiting for you?”She turned and saw Annabel

“Good evening Linda”Annabel smiled

“Annie are you sure you’re the one I’m seeing now?”Linda rubbed her eyes

“Yes”

Linda hugged her

“Oh my go$h I missed you”

“I missed you too Linda”

Linda pulled away and looked at Adams

She gave Annabel a questioning look

“Linda meet Adams my fiance”

Linda’s jaw dropped

“Your…your fiance?”She asked

“Yeah”

“Hello”Adams shakes her hand

“You’re welcome sir”She smiled…”congratulations Annie”

“Thank you Linda”

Linda tapped Esther and Esther was startled

“Excuse me”Esther left

Never in her wildest imagination could she have believed Annabel is the fiance of the most handsome man she had ever seen. Plus he was rich too

After her departure,Linda took their order and brought their food

She served them chicken pepper soup and orange juice before leaving for the counter to meet Sam and Esther who were busy staring at them.

Annabel took her juice and her eyes met with that of Adams. She wondered how long he has been staring at her

“Why are you looking at me like that?”She asked

“Cause you’re beautiful”

“Oh really?”She rolled her eyes

“Yeah or is it a crime to stare at my wife?”

Annabel blushed

“We’re not married yet”She smiled

He took her hand in his and pecked the back

“Stop people will see us”She looked around

“Let them see how much I love you”Adams pecked her hand again

“Adams”She glared at him but he was adamant so she let him

He looked up at her and smiled

“Hey look behind you”He said and she turned immediately

He took her meat and put it in his mouth

“Adams what’s behind me?”She asked still looking behind

When she didn’t hear anything from him,she turned and faced him

“What are you eating?”She asked and looked down in her plate

Her meat was gone

She glared at him

“You..You tricked me and took my meat you meat thief”

Adams laughed

“You’re so gullible”

“Have you forgotten what happened the last time you stole my meat?” Annabel asked and he stiffened

“I can’t forget that. You knocked my head”

“Should I knock it again?”

“No I’m sorry”He pouted

She laughs

Esther and the rest were busy watching them.

“I’m happy for her”Linda said

“I was gonna ask her out”Sam said and Linda laughed

“Oh sorry,you are too late”Linda stuck her tongue out for him

“This isn’t fair. Why is Annabel always getting the good stuff?”Esther asked looking at how Annabel and Adams were chatting and laughing

“Maybe your own good stuff will come when you stop being jealous of others”Linda felt irritated and leaves

“Am I really jealous?”Esther faced Sam

“Don’t ask me”He entered the kitchen

“I’m not jealous”She mutters to herself

Adams dropped Annabel off after they left the restaurant

STAR MODELS HIGH SCHOO

Lisa and her mates were finally done with their exams. What is left now is the graduation ceremony and send off party.

Lisa and Marla sat down on the grass in the school garden talking about life after high school.

“Marla what are you gonna do after graduation?”Lisa asked

“My parents are moving to Chicago. I guess that’s where I’ll further my education”Marla replied

“I’m really gonna miss you”

“We’ll be in touch. How about you Lisa? Since you’re on scholarship,which university are you going to choose?”

Lisa scratched her head

“I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll discuss with my dad and Annabel”

“Okay then”

Dylan walked up to them

“Hello Lisa”He waved

“What are you doing here?”She glared at him

“I came to say I’m sorry”

“Sorry for what? Being a jerk?”

“Yeah I’m sorry for being a jerk. I never should have insulted Gideon. It was all my fault”

“What is the reason for the feud between you two anyway?”Lisa asked

“I actually thought he took what belonged to me. My mum made me believe that,Gideon was only befriending me to take my part of the inheritance away. But I found out recently that,I don’t even have any inheritance. The man I thought was my biological father was Gideon’s dad and I wasn’t even his child”

Lisa felt sad for him

“Gideon told me about that too”

“I wish there was a way I could apologize to him. I’ve treated him with disdain since I knew him. and I’m sorry” Dylan lowered his head

“I forgive you”Gideon said coming from behind him

“When did you get here?”Marla asked

“I’ve been here long enough to hear everything. You guys were so engrossed in your discussion that you didn’t notice me. Even my girlfriend didn’t notice me”

Lisa bent her head

“Gideon?”Dylan called

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry for everything”

“No problem bro. Let bygones be bygones”Gideon hugged him

“Thanks”

“Awwwn this is so heart melting”Lisa sniffles

They all laughed and chatted for some time before Gideon took Lisa home.

ADAMS BUILDING AND DESIGN COMPANY LTD

ADAMS OFFICE

Ben is trying to convince Adams into making him an MC for Annabel’s birthday.

Charlotte has promised him a lot of money for this and he can’t afford to blow it.

“So Mr. Ben you’re trying to say that you are perfect for the job?”Adams observed him

“Yes sir. I’m very good at it sir”

Emily was with Adams in the office when he was interviewing the man and she wasn’t comfortable with Ben. She had a feeling he was up to something

“Okay Mr Ben. Do you have any work experience?”Adams asked

“Yes sir”He handed over fake documents to Adams.

Adams looked at them

“Okay you’re hired”

Ben was happy their plan had work

“Thank you sir”

“Her birthday is two days away. I don’t want any mistakes. I want it to be a memorable one for her”

“Noted sir. I’ll make sure she never forgets this birthday”He replied with a hint of sarcasm in his tone but Adams was unable to notice it.

“You may go now”

He stood up and left the office

When he was outside the company premises,he called Charlotte

“Part 1 of our plan is in motion. I’ve been hired as the MC”

“Good job Ben. Let’s wait for the next one”Charlotte said at the other end of the phone and hung up

Back in the office…

Emily still had mixed feelings about Ben. Her instnct is telling her that the man is up to no good and her instinct has never been wrong.

“Bro. Adams”She tugged at his shirt

He turned and smiled at her

“What’s it Emily?”

“That man you just interviewed is kinda weird”She said

“Really? What made you say that?”

“I just have this feeling that he is planning on doing something bad to aunty Annabel”

Adams laughed

“Emily,you have a wild imagination”

“I’m serious. I don’t have a good feeling about him”

“You’re just being insecure dear. He just came to get hired as a MC and nothing more. Don’t worry Annabel would be fine”Adams stood up and left the office after patting her head.

His words were supposed to calm her down but she still had her doubts. She loves Annabel so much and would go to any length to make sure nothing happens to her.

“If Bro. Adams won’t believe me then I’m gonna take matters into my own hands. I’ll make sure nothing happens to Annabel”She patted her chest
