"Stop staring at your phone, it's been a week already and she hasn't called so stop hoping " Gerald chuckled.
Xavier sighed, "I already apologized "
"Well if it was me and you knew something like that about my father and didn't tell me, I would not forgive you that easily too "
"I didn't mean to I just thought she didn't need to know"
"Are you serious? We are talking about her father...who is the right-hand man of your daring arrogant father. Someone who has been part of her suffering for the past centuries so I think she had every right to know " Gerald pointed out.
"What good would that have for her?"
"Well, let's see, if she had known who he was do you think she would have gone to see him that day alone? No, she would not cause she would know how dangerous he was "
Xavier fell silent still staring at his phone.
"When did you last talk to her ?" Gerald asked.
"When she woke up "
"What ?.So you have been staying at your place all this time "
Xavier nodded, "She said that she needed space so I left, I called a few times and texted but she never replied "
"Simple then go see her "
"But she said ..." Gerald stopped him, "After all these years of loving her you know nothing about her. Yes she asked for space but after all that has happened, Liana will always need you by her side even when she's angry at you "
"Will you handle my next meeting, I have to leave now?" he said.
Gerald laughed, "Sure, go ahead. Call me later and tell me how it went "
Xavier smirked, "why should I ?" getting up.
"Ungrateful " Gerald followed him to the door, "Buy her flowers on your way "
"Got it, bye " Xavier walked off alone to the elevator.
...
Liana walked out of the meeting, she had just signed another deal with new clients. Joy was texting on her phone with little giggles.
"Joy do I have any other meetings?" she asked.
"No, that was all of today. I think we can leave now " she said.
"Okay, let me first finish something then we will leave "leaving Joy still smiling at her phone.
She sat down in her office with a heavy sigh while grabbing her phone.
"When will you call, it's been a week and you still haven't checked on me" .she sighed."I am angry but I still miss you "
"BOSS, BOSS ..." Joy burst into her office shouting.
"What? " she looked up annoyed.
"His here, he here " she shouted smiling.
"Who is here ?"
"Xavier, his here," she said.
Liana got up, "He came " running out of her office.
