CHAPTER 4

Vicky, I've been trying to reach you since last night, you just left the club without telling me and I know you didn't go home because mum called me and asked if you were spending the night at my place, I had to cover for you and said yes. So young lady, you have a lot of explaining to do and don't try to lie to me because I would know. Where are you coming from and why do you look so rough, wait a minute, don't tell me it is what I'm thinking,did you spend the night with Bryan? Oh my Goodness! you did. There is nothing to be shy about babe, I feel so proud of you. You are not serious at all Rose, I guess the alcohol got the best of me last night, but I won't lie it was great, the discussion was great,his company was great and the most importantly the s*x was great. Look at you grinning from ear to ear, I knew you had it in you. If you weren't getting married next week, u would have said maybe we should go to the club every night till we found him again but too bad you are getting married. Last night was like an escape from my reality and that's all, I have no plan of seeing him again and if by chance we do see, I'm going to Ignore and act like I don't know him, he is just a sweet memory to me and now I'm back to my life. It's so sad babe, to think that you are not even getting married to someone you love but I've been saying we can't predict destiny, what would he would be. I know and I've come to terms with my reality already. I'm leaving babe, I need to freshen up and get somethings in place after all it is my wedding, see you later, or do you want to come with me later,I'm meeting with my so-called grandfather-in-law later today. Okay babe, I would come the house later in the day, see you then.

Mum, I've got this, I know it is his grandfather that is coming and I need to look presentable, don't worry, I won't do anything to jeopardize the chances of saving our business. I know my dear, it's just that I can't help but worry what if this marriage doesn't happen, are we going to end up on the streets, how are we going to survive? I'm just so anxious. Mum, don't worry, I promise to do everything within my power so that this family won't end up on the street and if getting married would help us get out this mess, I promise to get married. So when is his grandfather coming? Late in the evening, so we are going to have dinner together, okay mum. I'm going to my room to rest for a bit, I'm kinda tired, why my love, didn't you sleep last night, don't tell me that you girls went clubbing. No, of course not we just had a sleepover while binging on our favorite movies on Netflix, in other words mom, we were just having a movie night before I got married. Okay if you say so princess, I trust you.

Congratulations sir, we heard you are getting married, so we decided to prepare this little surprise for you, thank you but I would really appreciate it if you guys could go back to work and Sophie come and see me in my office. How did the news of my marriage get here, because I know I told no one except Greg. Sir, it was your grandfather that announced it and I heard that your fiance is very beautiful and she is a career driven woman,once again ,i wish you a happy married life sir. Thank you, before you leave can you get me the document that I am supposed to sign regarding the contract, on it sir, okay you can take your leave now.

Victoria love, our guest is here, mum I'm coming just need to brush up on some few things, but don't waste time, we don't want to keep our guest waiting, okay mum. Rose, how do I look? Babe for the tenth time, you look decent enough, mere looking at you one would think an Angel has fallen,you are so beautiful and I wonder how pretty you would look in your wedding dress, oh my God my baby has grown up so well. For once, be serious Rose, I need to.make a good impression,I can't let anything jeopardize the chance of saving our company, you know how hard my parents work for it and I can't let all their hard work be in vain. Babe, don't worry, he would adore you, he would even wish that he was the groom. You are so funny, let's go downstairs before mom calls again, you know how she can be when she is restless.

Mr Smith, thank you for choosing our beloved daughter to be part of your family. I was so surprised when I got your message because after my father's death, I haven't seen or heard from you. David, you are like a son to me, I apologize for not reaching out to you but you also have a lot of fault. How can you forget about me, you know I'm old already,I tend to forget about stuff but you are still young and strong and you forgot your old man. I admit,I might have forgotten to message you but I can never forget about you. Enough of who forgot about who, I want to see my future granddaughter where is she? She is coming, she is getting ready in her room.

Mum, I'm here, good evening sir it is so nice to meet you, I've heard alot about you from my dad. Wow, she is extremely beautiful and also polite. You've done an excellent job raising her. Thank you for the compliment sir, she wasn't a difficult child, very independent and obedient. So my dear, what do you do for a living and how old are you? I'm 25 and I'm a human resource manager. I work in my dad's company under the human resource department. Very good, excellent, beauty and brains combined,I'm very happy that my decision wasn't wrong. So what do you think about this alliance my dear, sir if I'm being honest with you I wasn't expecting that I would get married like this but seeing you now and talking to you have made my mind calm down a little. How do you mean my dear? I mean that you are a very sweet man and I hope your grandson would be like you and I trust my parents' decision, they won't make the wrong choice for me.

I'm so happy you would be part of my family and I know my grandson would love you and I'm so happy that I made a great choice. Thank you sir, you flatter me too much, I'm so happy that I met your standards. Let's have dinner, okay my dear. Thanks for dinner, I am really happy we can all become a family but I have to take my leave now. See you next week Saturday Victoria and welcome to the Smith's family in advance and Mrs Green,let's meet up tomorrow to finalize some things for the wedding. Okay sir and David don't forget to call concerning our partnership. Have a great night.

Grandpa welcome, where are you coming from so late? I went to meet your future wife and her family and unlike you, she is a sweetheart, a very well behaved and independent lady. You are so lucky that I'm an old man. If not I would've married her myself. Nothing is stopping you grandpa, Bryan, you should consider yourself lucky that I found a girl like her for you unlike all those w****s you parade yourself with. She is so beautiful and humble, I was really expecting her to be a spoiled brat since she is an only child but she is very respectful and she is so mature for her age, you can learn something from her. You are so funny grandpa, but I can't wait to see her on the wedding day,I want to see how decent she is and why you can't stop singing her praises. Goodnight Bryan I'm exhausted. Goodnight old man.
