Chapter 23

At the Thompsons Realtors headquarters

The morning meetings went well as usual when Leo checked his time and informed Addy it was time to go to City Y. As they were about to leave, they saw Clara walking into the building. Her face lit up as she saw Addy

"Hi Addy, hope you haven't forgotten our outing today?"

Addy kept walking without replying her because he couldn't be bothered entertaining her at the moment. Leo noticed he won't respond to her and shes started following them.

"Ma'am your appointment is with Mr Daniel today, I thought we've already sent you an email to inform you, the boss has got an important meeting now," Leo said

Clara was disappointed because she had requested he should be in charge of her case, but she couldn't help but accept it.

"You can tell the front desk to let him know you are here" he continued as he hurried after Addy.

The car was already waiting at the main entrance, as they got in,

"Why didn't you answer her? Leo asked curiously

"Well she's annoying" Addy replied

"Last night, my mother explained to me that she's officially my girlfriend, does that make sense?" he continued

Leo's jaw dropped and his mind went blank

"WAIT WHAT"

"I know Mrs Thompsons is always pushing you, didn't know she would be the one to get you a girlfriend" Leo couldn't hold is laughter

"This is a serious matter, I told her I'm not interested but she said both family already acknowledged that we are dating. I tried to make her a deal that I would bring my girlfriend to see her, but she gave me till this weekend, which is not possible" you can sense the frustration in his voice.

"Oh what a pity, or should we ask Miss Eva?" Leo said with his brow raised

"Don't even think about it or even mention it to her or I'll kill you" Addy replied with a deadly glare

"Are you ready to apologise sincerely and genuinely to Lilian" he continued

Leo picked up the flowers he bought the day before and smiled

"I hope she doesn't use the flower to slap your face" he chuckled

"Hopefully not" Leo replied

City Y is about two hours drive from the capital city X, they were both on their laptops.

Meanwhile at Eva's mansion

Eva went to bed early the previous day, so that she can wake up early feeling refreshed. When she woke up, she had a quick shower and picked an outfit with low heels since she doesn't know how long the walk will be with the realtors. After sorting herself out, she decided to check up on Lilian, since she had already gone to bed before she got back from work.

Eva went to check up on Lilian in her room to see if she's feeling better than the previous day.

She knocked on her door and Lilian replied

"Yes come in"

"It's me, how are you feeling today?" she spoke as she entered, to her surprise Lilian was fully dressed for work

"Don't tell me you're dressed for work"

"Yes I am, I am fine now" Lilian replied

"No No No, you are not. I have given you this week off at least. And right now I'm not your boss, I'm your friend and as your friend, I'm advising you to have a good rest before you start going to work again" Eva said

Lilian was so moved to tears hearing Eva words, so she decided to stay at home till she's better.

After breakfast, Eva left for City Y with her drive and she brought along a photo camera to take pictures of the lands and environment they will go to.

Immediately she got to city Y, she went to the nearest cafe not far from the location, to get coffee and deserts. She checked her time and realised she was an hour early. She brought out her laptop to kill some time.

About an hour later, she shut her laptop to go to the location. on getting to the location, she saw two men standing by the car waiting patiently, as she stepped out of her car, Addy felt a ray of light shine on her and was smitten by her beauty. Eva's face froze when she recognised the faces of the men standing.

"Why are you here?" she asked

"We are here to offer our service to you" Addy replied shamelessly knowing what she meant.

Leo was peeping and expecting someone else to get off the car, but no one else was in the car except for the driver.

"I thought I made myself clear the other day, didn't know a whole CEO of the biggest company would have this much luxury time on his hands" she mocked him.

"Miss Eva but this is what our business is all about, to satisfy our client's needs and expectations, and I think I'm the best person in our company to be your guide, and I wouldn't even allow anyone does that anyways" he chuckled

"How shameless" she smirked while rolling her eyes.

"Alright then, let's get to it, I've got other business to attend to, lead the way" she motioned with her hands, she doesn't wait to spend any more time with them because Leo was there.

"Ma'am, where's Lilian?" Leo asked curiously, he wasn't listening to their conversation, he was thinking where Lilian could have been.

Eva turned to him and looked at him from head to toe and from toes back to his head and gave him a deadly glare. She couldn't be bothered replying him, all she could do was try to remain professional till the end of their meeting.
