Chereads / Tove / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Hearing her agree to my proposal made me so happy that i couldn't even believe it myself.

You must be hungry, Maria set the table please.

We sat down for breakfast each with our own thought.

There is a new set of clothes waiting for you in the room you slept in last night please go change and come so we can head out; i told her after breakfast.

I called Josh after Tove went upstairs.

Josh, that my condominium close to the agency i need you to send someone to go clean it up immediately. The building receptionist is with a spare key. I will be there in forty five minutes. I need everything in order before i get there.

Contact Emerald the agency and get me information on all their latest projects and i need you to look for a manager, the best one. I need the person immediately.

As you wish boss.

Good.

I'm ready i heard Tove say behind me.

She looked different from the quiet innocent teenager of years ago.

But her beauty just can't be hidden. Feeling my loins begin to stir i quickly look away and led her out.

Good morning boss, good morning miss, greeted Sam with a bow.

Good morning; Tove replied quietly.

You can call me Vee.

With a nod to Sam we entered the car and headed out. I've already texted him where to.

We sat quietly together; with Tove staring outside and myself replying messages from Josh on the things i asked him to do.

Boss we've arrived i heard Sam call out before bringing the car to a stop. He knows how easily i get lost whenever i'm on my phone.

We are here Tove i told her.

We are where exactly?

Come and find out yourself i replied.

We entered the building and i led her to the thirtieth floor.

I entered the passcode and the door opened. The door is designed with a lock and a passcode. The passcode is for me and the lock is a back up, just in case there is an emergency or something and i'm not around.

We entered and i have to admit, the cleaners did a splendid job and they were fast too. Despite the short notice.

On our way, i messaged Josh to tell them to change the furniture and decor to something feminine but not over the top.

And they did a fantastic job.

Now i have to find out if Tove approves.

So Tove Tell me What do you think?

It is really comfy and nice.

Well i'm glad you like it for it is now yours.

What?

What do you mean it is mine?

I told you i will get you a place to stay right?

You mean this is it?

Yes this is it, someone will come with the papers of transfer of ownership for your signature later.

What, i own it?

Yes.

Ian this is too much, i don't think i can accept this.

I haven't even started working yet, we don't know if this is a good idea or not. I can't possibly take this. This is daylight robbery. I don't deserve it.

Look Ian i know you mean well and want what's best for your company but i'm not it. I truly appreciate all that you've done. But this is taking it too far.

Tove i won't force you to do anything that you don't want. But i need you to think carefully right now.

You don't have any place to go to unless you decide to forgo this apartment and come live with me which i am fine with, i have plenty empty rooms in my villa.

You have a gift Tove. It will be a shame if you don't utilize it.

What's gone is gone. Don't think about it.

It has already happened. Instead of dwelling on it, why not use it as a catalyst to push yourself harder. I believe in you Tove. Even if you don't make it at the first try, it is fine. You try again till you do.

You are a beautiful and talented young woman. Don't let your talent go to waste. You trusted the wrong person and made a wrong call, so what? no one is perfect. Sometimes we get it, sometimes we don't that is life. At the end of the day life goes on Tove.

Unshackle yourself and fly freely. The world does not stop for anyone Tove. You either take this opportunity and see how it turns out at the end of the day or you go back to whatever condition you where in before i found you. The choice is yours.

I stood up and went to the door to collect what i asked for from Sam.

Walking back to her, i placed the items on the table.

This is the papers of the transfer of ownership of the condo it just needs your signature.

And for the record this condo is mine so it has nothing to do with the company.

Before you say anything, it has been long i visited here. I only use it when i have to work at the agency, since this place is a ten minute drive to the agency and that rarely happens. Take it that i'm giving this to you as a loyal fan and a believer. Trust me Tove this costs me nothing.

This is a phone, the latest model the one you were using before whatever make that was, fell down and was broken. I'm sorry if it holds any sentimental value to you, i can have it repaired and brought back to you. As you can see the phone is still in its carton.

And here is my card with my personal phone number. Whatever you decide let me know before the end of today. I will leave you alone now.

After saying my piece i left her alone cause i felt she needed it.

Take me to the company i told Sam once i got inside the car.

I've been crying ever since Ian left.

I don't know if it's from the heartbreak i'm suffering, relief, joy, or pain.

I explored the condo and found it to be a lavish three bedroom apartment. Each room with its own bathroom and then there is a seperate bathroom, a kichen, a gym, a dining area and a living area. The furnitures and decor is so beautiful with dark tones missing with the light ones just how i like it. One of the rooms, the biggest one has male clothes there. That must be Ian's clothes, this is his condo to begin with.

I looked at the paper for the transfer of ownership; all i need do is sign and this place is mine. Like mine.

I don't know what to feel right now, i don't even know how to feel.

But i know Ian is right. Everything he said is true. The world won't come to a halt because i'm having a hard time.

Dylan might currently be fucking Nadine right now. While i'm here wallowing in self pity.

My situation is pathetic and Ian right now is my salvation.

I remembered my life back then. Despite the fact that my family cut ties with me. My career was making progress. I remembered how happy and free i was whenever i'm acting or having a photoshoot.

I will be the biggest fool on earth if i turn this opportunity down. I have been a fool long enough. I've been suppressing my desires and want just to fit into the ideal of a standard support system for Dytlan.

It is time for me to live for me and do what i love.

Ian is right this condo truly costs him nothing.

For his trust and believe i have to work hard.

I picked up the pen and signed the agreement. I opened the phone inserted my old sim that was surprisingly placed by the side. I dialed the number on the card and Ian picked on the second ring.

Ian tell me what to do.
