CHAPTER 29

Enjoy your day guys.

Henry and Aria arrived home after thirty minute. The driver parked the car at the garage, and off the engine. Henry opened the back door widely, and Aria came out. Henry held the laptop bag on it handle, put the jacket on his aim and going inside.

Henry and Aria entered into the living room, met only his father and his stepmother there. Alaina and Ethan were in their rooms.

"Good day, Daddy and Ma" Henry greeted with respect, standing at the front of them,

"How are you my son? How was work?" His father asked. Henry stepmother just focused on the program that she was watching, didn't even reply to his greeting. Henry had known that she wouldn't because not today she had been doing that.

"It was fine, everything went well. So, here is the resumption letter you told me to prepare for Ethan" Henry put the laptop bag on the center table, opened it and brought out an envelope. It was inside the envelope he put the letter.

"Oh! Good, maybe if he starts working, he will have sense" Henry's father said as he collected the latter from Henry.

"I will be in my room upstairs, Daddy" Henry said and leaving the place. Aria followed him, going upstairs together. Henry's father took his phone beside him, and dialing Ethan's mobile number.

"Come downstairs now, I want to see you" He said as Ethan picked, and hugged up. He put the phone down, repositioned the way he was sitting and holding the letter.

"So which post did you give him in the company?" Henry's stepmother asked gently.

"I don't even know. But well, any post can be given to him. Just want him to work so that he can become responsible" Henry's stepmother looked at him as he said so, and changed the look.

"What did you mean by you don't know? Is it anyhow post you want to give my own son after you have passed the CEO post to whoever you wanted to pass it to" she said loudly with anger.

"It hasn't up to this. I just told Henry to make him a head of one department. I don't know which one he gave him that is what I mean" Henry's father said loudly.

"I don't like the way you are acting these days, I don't like---"

"Daddy, I am here" Ethan got there and said gently. Henry's father stopped talking, and faced Ethan.

"Here is your resumption letter, you are resuming to work on Monday" Henry's father said, and dropped the letter on the table at the front of Ethan.

"You are going together with Henry on Monday. He will introduce you to the staffs and take you to your department. So start preparing yourself from today"

"I heard you, Daddy" Ethan said like he was forced to talk. He wanted to turn back and be leaving.

"Take your letter" his father called him back. Ethan picked the letter reluctantly, and going back upstairs.

Aria was lying on the bed, pressing her phone. She was making sound with her mouth, and enjoying the movement. Henry came out from the bathroom, wearing a light vest and a long trouser. He showered, and dressed up inside the bathroom.

He sat down on the chair at his room, carried the nonalcoholic wine that he always drink on the table and opening it. He opened it, poured little inside the cup and covered it back. He took his phone, and calling his girlfriend.

"Hello, babe. How are you?" Aria looked at Henry as he was making a call, and hissed silently. She hated Riley, and hated Henry talking to her.

"I just got home. So where are you now?"

"We have left that local and rubbish place. We are on our way back home now" Riley replied.

"Good, sorry for that Love" Henry said gently. Riley was inside her back, sitting at the back seat with Muhammad.

"I have told that Director that I will rest tomorrow, I can't shoot anything tomorrow" Riley said.

"I will come to your place tomorrow then, and take you out. For all the stress you have undergone you will need a spa and body massage. You will go and have that tomorrow"

"That is what I need Love, I really need it" Riley said loudly.

"Okay, call me when you get home so that we can talk better" Aria focused on the phone back, and ignored them.

"Alright, love. Bye for now, and love you" Riley said loudly.

"I love you more, take care" Henry said with smiles and hugged up. He put the phone down, and continued having the drink.

"Henry! Henry" Aria started calling his name gently.

"What is it? I am not deaf" Henry shouted, and frowned his face.

"Why did you always shouting at me? You are talking to your arrogant girlfriend now you didn't shout at her" Aria said with anger.

"Are you doing to say what you want to say or keep silent" Henry said loudly.

"I want to say that I am sorry for what I said earlier. But still you are the only one that can help me to pay for the school fees" Aria said in cool tone.

"Please, help me with it. I will appreciate and I am going to pay you back with good deed. My friend has been there to tutor me more, so please help to pay for it" Aria saying gently and begging him. Henry looked at her, and took his eyes away immediately.

"Alright fine, I will pay for it" Henry gently. Aria jumped up, and really excited.

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Aria said loudly, really happy.

"I know you will, and that is why I LOVE YOU!" Henry looked at her as she said so.

"You said what?" Henry asked in loud tone.

"It means nothing, just happy" Aria replied gently. She sat down on the bed back, continued pressing the phone with smiles on her face. Henry looked at her, and just smiled.

*******

Lexie's friend was at the living room, sitting on a couch. She was busy watching a movie, and laughing really hard. Lexie came down to the living room, wearing a short gown and a head tie.

"He had slept?" Lexie's friend asked, referring to James. It was James she took to his bedroom to sleep. It was three of them that were at the living room before, having fun.

"Yes, he is" Lexie replied. She sat down on a couch, raised her two legs up.

"Oh! Thank God, troublemaker. He had wanted to kill me. Aunty what is this? Aunty do like this" Lexie's friend making jest of James.

"Stop abusing my son, stop it" Lexie said loudly as two of them were laughing.

"He has slept now, everywhere will be silent" Lexie said gently and focused on the movie. She asked of what had happened so far, and her friend started interpreting.

"Tell me girl, how is Grayson? Do you like him? You didn't even talk about him" Lexie's friend asked.

"He is okay, but he is a kind of man that will be imposing what he likes or his own wish on you"

"He didn't seek for my own concept just told the restaurant girl to get the same meal for us. He repeated the same before we left" Lexie said.

"But nothing is wrong with that" Her friend said.

"A lot is wrong with it. It doesn't make sense!" Lexie said loudly. She put her legs down and repositioned the way she was sitting.

"How can a man will think he is the one that will be deciding for you. He doesn't want to know maybe you like it or not. It's what he likes that he expecting you to like. They are the kind of men that won't care to know your favorite color or food or anything" Lexie took a breath.

"I don't think you get me? Grayson is a kind of man that won't give his wife a chance to talk or even say her mind"

"I understand you, but it's you that will correct him. He will change if you let him know" Lexie's friend said.

"I am not interested in changing anyone. He should just be—"

"Don't tell me you are trying to say that you're not dating him again?" her friend said loudly as Lexie was talking.

"Don't even bring that, don't bring it!" she didn't even give Lexie chance to talk.

"No one is perfect; we just have to manage each other. And look at you, you have been getting old. You are not leaving him, you are going to find a way to change him" she said loudly.

"Madam! Madam calm down. I am not saying I am cutting off the relationship now, so don't take it too personal" Lexie said in cool tone.

"But if I can't endure it anymore, I will leave" Lexie said gently.

"You are not going to leave; the relationship will lead to marriage. I am going to talk to him too, and thing will perfect"

"I have said my own; if I can't endure it I will leave the relationship. You can force a horse to the river, you can't force him to drink water" Lexie raised her legs up back and focused on the movie.

"Really!" Lexie's friend said loudly. She stared at Lexie for few minutes, shook her head and hissed.
