She is proud of Junxie Li. He is amazing and does things that make people see him as intelligent as he actually is.
She’s glad he is her fiancé and the father of her kids. How wonderful that she met him in this life.
Of all that her sister and step mother did to her using her ex-husband as a weapon to bring her down, she’s grateful for helping her plot her way to Junxie.
That’s the only thing she appreciates about it all. When everyone was applauding a while ago, she didn’t. She was happy and could only smile.
As soon as the meeting was over, Julia went over to see his brother. This time, no bodyguards were at the door and he went in.
Junxie, without raising his head to look in his direction, asked “What do you want?” In a husky voice.
Julia paused, the question hit him like a bullet. What did he want? He didn’t think about answering such a simple but logical question before coming over.
Junxie Li raised his head now and stared at him. He was having his usual cold expression. It’s obvious that he is still unhappy with Julia.
As soon as the door opened and the body scent of Julia diffuses and he perceived it, he knew the fellow who entered without raising his head.
Julia stood and stared at his brother speechless. Why was he suddenly afraid of him whenever he was unhappy with him? They had grown up together and practically lived in each other’s company until Junxie left to study abroad.
“I… actually… I came. I mean I was coming to see you” Julia stammered, totally confused and not getting the right word to use in answering Junxie.
“Have you now seen me?” Junxie Li asked. He was coming to see him and he saw him. The equation is balanced.
“I want to talk to you as my brother and not the President of the company…” Julia replied, summoning courage and walking to sit in front of him.
“Get up. This is the company and not a place for family discussion. Set your priorities right. When we next meet at the residence, we can talk. Now I have work to do” Junxie Li ordered.
Julia stood up without arguing and went out. There’s still a lot to be done. What will he do or say to make Junxie Li forgive him?
He couldn’t go over to his Mansion. He had warned him about it already. No wonder he said that when they met in Li’s residence.
If he can’t talk to him in his office and cannot come over to his Mansion, when is he going to apologies to him?
Maybe he would call him via a video call that evening before sleeping. That would be after he went to see Rita.
After the day’s work, Julia set out to go and see Rita. He tried her cell phone number earlier but it wasn’t connecting, that was when he remembered that she had blacklisted him.
He drove with courage. He doesn’t know what will befall him there. If he meets Alfred, the probability is there that he would send him away at the door.
But he can’t leave Rita alone just like that. He needed to check on her and know how she’s doing. He wants her to equally tell him what she wants for compensation.
He just didn’t agree with his properties and investment being shared in two and a part given to Rita like his brother wanted.
But besides that, whatever she demands, he would compensate her. He gradually drove and arrived at the door of the apartment where Rita and her family lived.
When Julia stepped out of his car, he approached the door in his waistcoat. He rang the bell and soon he heard someone opening the door.
He sighed audibly. The person shouldn’t be Alfred like he hoped. That boy was too hard for him and he really was going to cause a stumbling block in him reaching Rita.
The door opened and the fellow stepped out, shutting the door behind him. Julia saw him and sighed softly. He looked away.
“Yes, what can we do for you?” Alfred asked, looking at him with contempt. He heard the bell and came to see who was at the door.
When he saw Julia, he knew the fellow was adamant. He still came home to disturb them? He would want to say he came to see how Rita was doing. Such care at the wrong hour.
“I am here to see Rita. Let me in or you call her out to me” Julia requested. He was older than Alfred and shouldn’t be worry sick about what the younger fellow would do.
The height of all is for him to harass him. And that, he would take it patiently. He stared at Alfred and they two looked at each other’s eyes.
“You can’t see Rita, I won’t permit you to see her. Don’t worry I will pass your message to her that you stopped by” Alfred declared.
“I am not stopping by, I came solely to see her. Let me see her” Julia demanded. He knew it. To Meet Alfred was bad luck on his part.
If it were his mother, he would have apologized to her and pleaded that she let him see Rita.
But he can’t be pleading with Alfred. He is younger than him and he is Rita’s junior. And he is stubborn for his liking.
“What do you want to see her for, Tell me? The last thing I remember is that you are not her boyfriend, husband and you are not a mere friend with her.
What qualification do you have to come here and say before me that you want to see her? I will advise that the last bit of respect I have for you, take it and go away from here” Alfred declared.
Julia was going to say something else when the door opened and Monica stepped out. She felt Alfred was staying too long at the door and she suspected that he doesn’t want whoever is there to come in.
She left Rita and came over. She heard her son’s grievous words and decided to intervene. She doesn’t want to offend Julia.
Neither will she allow her daughter to see the fellow who almost ruined her life. She wants to come in and let everything settle as the adult between the two men.
“Hello Ms. Monica” Julia greeted. He is glad his mother was finally out. This son of hers needs someone to teach him a lesson.
“Hello Julia” Monica replied but wasn’t having a happy look. They just got discharged from the hospital that day, why must he come to the house again?
“I want to see Rita, but Alfred will not let me in neither would he call Rita out for me..” Julia was still explaining when Monica cut him short.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t see Rita. You have caused her a lot of pain Julia and I want you to stay away from her.
Let her recover from the present predicament and be herself again. Seeing you might remind her of your cruelty to her and she would be getting worse rather than being better.
So please don’t come and see her again. You have no relationship with her. Leave my daughter alone…”
Julia was lost.
