Anna POV
I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. It’s probably Dave and his boss.
I opened the door and was shocked to the bones. It was the same person! Adams and Dave’s boss are the same person. How could it be?
I could see that he wasn’t as surprised as I was. He must have found out before I did. Or maybe he just knew all along. Perhaps that’s why he has been helping I and my son.
I’m so confused right now. I don’t know what to do.
I looked at my son’s face and he seemed to have noticed my surprised reaction.
I decided to pretend that nothing happened and also that I didn’t know Dave’s boss from anywhere.
“Come in.” I said as I widened the door.
“Thank you.” Adams said.
I had already set the table so we all went straight to the dinning without wasting time.
My seat was right in front of Mr Adams. I didn’t plan it that way though. It was son who rushed to the seat I wanted to sit on.
I had to sit in front of Mr Adams at the dinning table.
We started eating and non of us said a word.
“Mother. I thought you said you wanted to thank Mr Adams in person for all he did for us.” Dave said.
“Uh… Thank you sir. I really appreciate everything you have done for Dave and I, thank you.” I said, nervously.
“There is no need to thank me really. I’m just helping out someone who is close to me.” Mr Adams replied.
My eyes widened. Did he really just say that?
“Dave is a really close person to me. So what else can I do? We are friends after all.” Mr Adams added.
I can’t tell you how relieved I was that he wasn’t talking about me in front of my son.
Dave POV
Why is mother behaving like this? Does she know Mr Adams already? I watched my mom and kept observing her every move.
We continued to eat after talking a bit.
I just don’t understand what is happening right now. Mother has been talking about thanking my boss in person and showing appreciation.
I don’t get it because, here he is in front of her and she seems so hesitant to do anything.
I don’t know my mother to be this kind of person. Unless of course there is a secret behind what is currently happening.
We all ate and spoke a little before Mr Adams finally leaves. After Mr Adams leave mother went straight to her room.
I had a lot of questions but I knew better than to bother my mother with it.
The next morning, I prepared for work and then took some money to go and buy breakfast for I and mother.
When I was done buying all I needed I went back home. I only ate my share of food and also left my mother’s share for her. She didn’t come out of her room. God knows why.
Mr Charles arrived and horned for me to come out. I came out of the house and went into the car.
Anna POV
I felt so horrible. I never knew I was being chased after by my son’s boss.
Oh what have I done. I should have never gone out that night and all this wouldn’t have happened.
I’m so stupid. Look all the things he did for us. I’m very sure that everything was just a trap.
I didn’t get any sleep at night. I looked at the time. Oh no. Dave has already left for work by now.
I stood up from bed and went to the living room and the Dave’s room and back to the living room again.
He’s gone already. I saw food on the table and I knew right away that Dave got it for me.
Dave didn’t want room bother me. He probably noticed my mood last night.
I’m so dumb. I should have at least tried to pretend I was indeed happy to see his boss who has been helping us all those while.
I don’t have time for all this. Whatever adams’ plan is, he can bring it on. I’m ready for him.
Adams POV
Ha ha ha. I’m so happy. Today being day four of the bet, is the day I end this once and for all. I’ll have to gain access to her.
I took my telephone and called Charles with it.
“Hello sir.” He said.
“Yes. Um… I need you to come to my office.” I said.
“Okay sir.” He said and dropped the call.
He arrived at my office after some time.
Check my schedule. I want to know if I have any free time today.
He left my office and went to check if I would be free in his computer.
He came back to my office with a book and a pen in hand.
“You will have a free time by three ‘o’ clock sir.” Charles said.
“Okay. You can leave now.” I said.
I guess he must have been wondering why I called him to my office instead of just asking him to tell me from where he was seated.
Anyways, I’m in a good mood till today. I’ve got her right where I want her. I can’t wait for three ‘o’ clock. It’s gonna be fantastic.
I continued the work I was doing in my computer for now. I don’t want to leave anything out that would make me unable to see Anna today.
I then thought about Dave. What if he leaves after I do? No way. I can’t let that happen.
“Dave!” I called.
He came into my office immediately.
“You called?” He asked.
“Yes. Actually, I called to tell you that I’ll have somewhere to go by three it I will be right back as soon as I can. Make sure you don’t leaves this place.” I said.
“Okay sir. I won’t he replied.
“Okay. You may leave now.” I said and he left.
Well, that problem is handled. I don’t want any disturbance or distraction when I’m there with Anna all alone.
