Julia turned and glared at her. She now talks anyhow to him right? She has grown wings and feels she can now live her life on her own terms.
That is only possible because she knows his entire family loves her. But he would put her where she truly belongs.
“You can now slash me with your tongue right? Looks like I will treat you the best way possible” Julia grinned. He was feeling very furious.
“Today I despise you greatly. So do think twice before saying or doing something stupid” Rita declared.
The chauffeur was worried. Second master has never been like this. Why was he fighting with his wife?
The duo loved each other in the past. Now that they are married, they should express their love unreservedly. But it looks like they are living with each other as two strangers under the same roof.
The couple didn’t say anything to each other until they arrived home. Julia Li was thinking of ways to deal with Rita and the latter was contemplating how she would meet him in confrontation.
Lanre took his car and drove to the address he was offered. He wished he could get a bit of assurance from the fellow.
As he alighted from the car, a servant came to accompany him into the house. He took a seat in the small sitting room and waited.
The house was best considered small. The sitting room barely could take three seaters of cushion and the furniture is of old fashioned.
Lanre can imagine the financial strength of the owner of the house. He sat down and as quickly as he came in, he had estimated the worth of the woman.
Besides her contact information, Xixi didn’t tell him anything about the woman or her name.
Soon a woman came out of the room by the door next to the narrow dining room. Lanre saw her and stood up to shake hands with her.
From mere assessment, she would be a woman in her early fifties. She is tall, and beautiful. She’s lighter in complexion than Lanre.
She has a round face with slightly large eye balls. When she sees Lanre, she smiles. She told him to take his seat and the latter did.
“You are welcome” she said and asked him what he would like to take. Lanre said he was fine and she shouldn’t bother about entertaining him whatsoever.
“I am Ms Anna Hu, and as you already know, I work in the city orphanage…” the woman introduced herself.
“Nice meeting you Ms Hu. I am doctor Lanre and I work in the city hospital”. Lanre introduced himself.
The two smiled. One works in the city orphanage and the other in the city hospital. They both are working for the government of their country.
“My goddaughter Xixi told me you would like to meet me for some assistance concerning a research you are into” Ms Hu explained.
“Exactly Ms Hu. I appreciate the time you have spared to see me…”Lanre appreciated.
He told her why he had come to see her. He needed her to help him investigate a certain boy that was brought to the orphanage Many years ago.
He was not asking her to do it for nought. She can name her price, and he would pay her any amount.
Ms Hu said she hadn’t been in the orphanage in the year he just mentioned. But she would try and get as much information as she can from the grand nanny of the orphanage.
But she would try her best and Lanre would continue his research from whatever information she’s able to provide him.
But he must never disclose any information about her involvement nor leave a clue that would lead her to him.
Lanre said she can trust him to be secretive and keep their meeting confidential. He would offer her his private contact. She should reach him anytime or send a message whenever she wants him to call her.
She said further that she’s a widow and doesn’t have a child of her own. She only depends on the job for her survival.
Lanre assured her that she would be fine. That way, their meeting ended that evening and Lanre returned home.
Hardly had Lanre arrived home when Julia called him. He told him that Junxie Li wanted them both to organise a quiet, low key engagement venue for himself and Theresa.
It should be strictly confidential. Theresa Mo mustn’t know or have a clue of what they were up to. So he was asking if Lanre could suggest a suitable place.
Lanre said he should leave that to him. He would take care of it. He had planned and organised an engagement between himself and Rosa before they broke up.
Julia said Ok. He would call him back the next day to get information about it so he can relate it to Junxie.
When the call ended, Lanre sighed softly. Rosa!! He called her name gently. She is stubborn. He can’t imagine that she wasn’t going to come over to find him.
After going rash with him with her words, she still has the gut to stay away. She had pushed him far away from her. And now, he has learnt to live without her.
He switched off his phone, feeling a little unhappy about Rosa’s behavior and not wanting to yield to the temptation of calling her.
He loves her, his entire being loves her and though he has sealed his heart, he still yearns for her.
Theresa Mo decided to call Lanre and asked him how the day had been and when he intended to travel to Country A.
But his phone was switched off. Not able to reach him, she dialled Rosa’s number to ask her if she’s with him..
