Chapter One Hundred and Forty Three

Ella POV

I can't believe what Sarah suggested that I should do, I can't imagine myself being married to that Playboy. I know Sarah is trying to matchmake Max and I as a way to pay me back for bringing her boss and her together as couple but Max is a bad choice. Sarah I know that you are trying to pay me back for whatever you thought that I did for you but not Max, he is a bad choice, I told her. Sarah looked at me and shook her head in disagreement, Can you tell me how he is a bad choice? Sarah asked.

I can't believe she asked that question, what have gotten into Sarah, I thought we are on the same page regarding Max issue. What do you mean by your question Sarah, of course is clear as the day that Max is a playboy and that's what made him a bad choice, I answered her question. Apart from the fact that he was a playboy is there anything else you have against him? Sarah asked. The truth is that apart from him been a womanizer the guy is good but there is still a possibility of him pretending. No there is nothing else I have against him but that doesn't mean that he is not pretending to be nice, I told her.

Sarah smiled and held my hands, Ella if you want to know whether he is pretending or not, there is only way to find out, she stated. Which is? I asked immediately cause I hate the fact that she kept me hanging. Get close to him that way you can access whether he is genuine, Sarah suggested. And I must say her suggestion is not bad at all.

I heard what you said and that's actually what I am going to do, I already accept him as my friend and I can count that as an improvement, I informed her. Wow that's good to hear and that really an improvement and also remember keep an open mind don't rush to judge Sarah advised. Yes ma'am I will keep that in mind, I assured her. Okay since we are done talking I think I will go upstairs to freshen up then I will come down so that we can prepare dinner, Sarah said to me. 

Sure go ahead I will come up shortly, I just need to reply to texts and am sure they are from Mr Jerry Williams, I said mimicking how my father used to introduce himself. Sarah laughed at the mockery while going upstairs. Am glad that Sarah is now happy, I just pray that they last cause Sarah deserve all the happiness in the world. As for Max I will do as Sarah advised and see how it goes. I opened the messages and as I expected they are from my father, reminding me that he want to see me to discuss something important with me. What could be very important if not to discuss marriage with me.

Sarah POV

Am glad that I have this talk with Ella at least she promised to keep an open mind on the issue regarding Max. I pray that her father will allow her to make her own choice in life, although Ella never allow him to detect her life but it's always impossible for them to be on the same page. I went upstairs to take my bath, I took my shower and come downstairs to prepare dinner but Ella is still at the couch where I left her before going to take my shower, typing furiously on her phone. I guess she and her father are at it again, poor or rich the two of us have daddy issue that's one of the things we have in common.

I decided not to disturb her with her typing and walked inside the kitchen to cook dinner before my mother will come back from her shop. I was still cutting the vegetables when Ella walked inside the kitchen but she is still wearing the same outfit and that means that she have not freshen up yet. I thought I asked you to freshen up first? I asked her. Yes you did ask me to freshen up, so I guess since I have wasted a lot of time responding messages why don't I help you out in the kitchen then I can freshen up later, Ella said. Well I disagree with that, go and freshen up first then you can come and help out in the kitchen, the kitchen is not running and you know that, I pointed it out to her.

Ella laughed at what I just said and left the kitchen to freshen up. I don't know if I should tell my mother the development in my relationship with my boss, or should I keep it to myself for now since it's too early. I was still battling within myself whether to tell her or not when my phone dinged indicating that I got one new message. I checked the sender to see that George sent it, I smiled when I saw the sender though the message was very simple but it still made me happy.

"Hey! Girlfriend have you had your dinner yet?"

That was the message he sent, which I quickly replied.

"Not yet but that's what am preparing"

I responded, we continue exchanging message that I have already forgotten that am cooking. I perceived something burning but I was still engrossed in the text messages that I decided to ignore it. But I was brought back to the real world when someone pushed me aside and rushed towards the stove. I was confused cause I don't get what exactly is going on now, but realization instantly down on me and I was able to remember that I was cooking and the person that pushed me aside and is now standing in front of the stove is no other than my mother.
