Adrian: "I apologize on her behalf, I will also ask her side of story to know what else to do. Okay."

Tina: "Okay asked her no problem but remember that whatever bad things she say about me is a lie"

Adrian: "I have heard you"

Tina: " When will you be less busy Adrian? Tell me so that we can hangout, it has been long we have spend quality time together"

Hearing that form Tina, Adrian expected it and he already had an answer ready for her.

Adrian: " Tina you know how busy my time is. My schedules her fully booked for now. I will let you know when I am free okay."

Tina: "Alright take care bye"

Adrian: "Bye"

After he hanged up the call, Adrian felt his head throbbing, rubbing his forehead to relieve the pain at the same time thinking about what Tina just told him about Ivy.

He was not surprised about the content of the call, rather he was use to the quarrels between the two Women. One was his Legally married Wife while the other was the daughter of his family friend making her one of his childhood friend of some sort. Them quarreling is what he was used to and he knew the reason Tina love picking fights with his Wife.

The reason was that both is and Tina parent wished they got married to each other, but he had no interest in her as a marriage partner he only saw her as a sister, he told his parent that and they respected his wishes and that was the end of topic.

However when he introduced Ivy to his parents as his Fiancé they were not that pleased with her, so they rejected her and told him that they prefer Tina to her. He was confused because he knows that Ivy was a very pleasant girl, he asked his parents the reason they dislike her and they told him that she behaves like an hypocrite, and a pretender.

After they found out she was pregnant, they had no choice but to accept her and they got married, after the wedding his parents left for abroad but came back when Ivy was put to bed, they came back to visit their Grandson. Few days they left, the way he now communicate with his parents are on calls, phone calls and video calls. He stops his train of thought and continued with his work.

Back at the Mansion, Ryan is already asleep in his room after he was consoled by his mother and Iris was with her manager were in the living room when the butler came in with a box in his hands. She turns to him and he said. "Madam, Master order for A new Phone and Laptop for you and it was delivered today, this is the package ma'am." She received the package from him and opened it, in their she found the latest iPhone fourteen with the latest MacBook Pro the box.

Seeing the gadget she felt joy from deep within herself immediately she powered up her new phone and started going through the phone settings. She was so immersed in what she was doing that she forgot about her Manager and what she was doing with her.

Lisa her Manager had to cleared her throat a few time for Iris to notice her. Embarrassed Iris apologized for her behavior and Lisa was not that affected by that, reason been that she had been used to Ivy forgetting herb whenever she was with her phone.

Iris left her phone aside and continued with her discussion with Lisa. Later after the departure of Lisa, Iris went back to her room with her new Phone and MacBook, continued from where she stopped and modified her Phone and MacBook settings to her taste easily with familiarity.

However in the evening time around Five Thirty, her husband came home from the Office. Seeing him entered through the door her son ran up to him, welcomed him with hugs and kisses not minding he was with his Office bag, he drooped it on the floor and carried his son.

Iris also moved closer to the Father and Child, picked the bag off the floor, with smiles on her face she said. "Welcome home Adrian, hope today's work was not to stressful" "Thanks. Today was okay" replied Adrian. Finding it awkward to stay with them she left with the bag with the excuse that she was going to dropping it off.

As she was walking away, Adrian told her to give the bag to the Butler and she should instruct him to put the bag in his office in the Mansion. She did exactly as she was told, but she did not return to the Living room, rather she left for the bed room.

Once inside the bedroom she became restless and starts to Pace while thinking while questioning herself out loud " Why I'm I feeling awkward in the presence of my husband? I don't understand, the reason for being this way, I can't get close to him without feeling weird like we are strangers. Or is it my memory loss that is making feel this way? It might be so"

As she was done soliloquizing she left the bedroom and went back to the living room. On getting to the living room she was informed by a maid that both her husband and her son are already waiting for her in the dinning room to have dinner, immediately she went there.

In the dinning room she saw both Adrian and Ryan already sitting on their respective chair, she moved closer to them and sat down beside Ryan and apologize for making them wait. Adrian nodded at her while Ryan smiled at her, few seconds later the maids came in and started serving the food, after they were done with the serving the food they left the family of three alone in the dinning room.

Adrian saw that they were alone turned to Iris and asked "How are you doing now better I hope?" "I am feeling better Thanks." Cutting into his steak he said "I discuss with the doctor and he told me that your memories will recovering sooner than later and I think that is a pleasant new from the hospital"
