Arielle, I know I shouldn't be saying this right now but I'm serious about you, let's take revenge together on your ex if you want to take one, or be my woman. I promise to spoil you with alot of money and goodies, I mean it" sebestian declamated grimly and I blinked severally in shock
Likes, for real??
"Sebby, are you for real right now?" I glared at him angrily
"Com'n Arielle, it's not that deep" sebestian said
"It's not... really?" I raised angry brows at him
"Fine, maybe it is but Arielle, you really need to believe me,I..."
"You're just a selfish jerk" I said and walked away angrily
"Hey, wait!...." Isa ran after me
"Too much for all the paparazzi" Rita mocked "let me guess, you rented out this whole tent for her?" She asked sebestian who breathed in angrily before replying her
"Don't show your face in front of me for a while" he said and walked away angrily
___
"You needn't speak to him in such manner yunno" Isa said as she met up with me
"Stay out of this!" I snapped at her angrily
"Com'n sis, I'm just trying to grab opportunities here. Sebestian is a great asset to have in ones corner, you might need him to go against Bryan " Isa said and I breathed in heavily before turning towards her
"You....just stay out of this, okay" I yelled at her and ignited the car engine
"Fine! Sorry " Isa said weakly and looked away
I felt kind of guilty for shouting at her,she was just tryna be of help.
I signed softly and drove to a nearby hotel
I booked a room and we both went to sleep quietly that night

The next day, I was at atty. Jeff's chamber
"Good morning Ms. Arielle, is there anything I can help you with?" He asked politely
"Good morning attorney Jeff, please I really need your help" I said urgently and he frowned
"What is it ma'am?" He asked
"Can I reclaim the shares I transferred to Bryan? I'm no longer interested " I said hastily
"I alreadysent over the legal files to mr Bryan's office two days ago, you'd need to file a report to reclaim it and I'm afraid that would be possible since you willingly transferred the shares to him" atty. Jeff said solemnly
"No, attorney Jeff,you have to help me out, I broke up with that jerk!" I said and attorney Jeff sighed softly
"See what I was warning you about?" He said and readjusted his sitting posture
"Firstly, I'd set up meeting with Mr Bryan and try to talk it out with him amicably then we know what is next, you really have to calm down and be very patient in this case Ms. Arielle" attorney Jeff said calmly
"Alright, please do that asap and give me feedback, I'd be expecting your call" I said, standing up.
"Alright, no problem, I'd book an appointment immediately" atty. Jeff reassured me and I bidded him before heading back to the hotel
"Hey sis" I waved at Isa who was busy with her system as soon as I walked in
"Heyy, so? How did it go?" She asked eagerly
"He said he'd try to talk it out with Bryan first, let's see how it goes" I replied and slumped on the bed
"Talk it out? You think that jerk is that loyal?" Isa scoffed
"Let's just hope" I said and Isa sighed
"I paid someone to set up the house for us, it would be ready in two days" Isa said
"Oh, that's nice. I'm too tired to do any cleaning " I said
"What about work?" Isa asked
"I called in sick" I waved it off
"Ohhh" Isa mouthed and returned her focus on the laptop
*I'm sorry for my inconsiderate behavior yesterday, can we talk?*
Sebestian's text came in but I ignored it
*Elle, I said I'm sorry. At least reply my messages*
My phone beeped again and I annoyingly tossed it beside me
"Fine, I'm coming over to the hotel then*
His text cami in again but I didn't bothered checking it
Few minutes later, the door bell tingled
"Who's that? Are you expecting anyone?" I asked Isa
"Nah, maybe it's room service, why don't you check to see?" She said and I obliged naively
To my surprise, the popularly known most handsome business tycoon was standing at the door
I immediately faced Isabelle with an indignant look
"Sorry, I was tempted with the money he sent,you know sebestian is my gee gee now" she said apologetically and I hissed angrily
"Like seriously,I don't know what you're doing here" I said to him and turned around
"I got you a birthday gift buddy" he said jovially
"It's a belated birthday guy" I said and sat on the couch
"It's not a complete birthday without a gift from me" he said and placed a parcel on the table
"That's what you think " I tched
"I'm sorry Hun" he apologized again
"I mean,I know you find of joking around about liking me but not now, not at that moment, you of all pple kw how much I love Bryan" I said angrily
"I know Elle, but I can swear on my life, I'm serious about you" he said and I scoffed
''there you go again" I said and he respired heavily
"What can I do to make you believe me gurl?" He asked
"Tell me why you're here when you're done fooling around" I said
"I'm here for you of course, why else" he said and I chuckled
"Guy, you sound so cheeky" I said and he smiled
"So? Am I forgiven?" He asked
"I was never angry with you" I said
"Cool. Bryan quitted working at my company, did he tell you about it?" Sebestian asked
"He did? I heard nothing" I said
"What does he do now then?" Isa interposed
"I don't care" sebestian shrugged indifferently

Mrs Thompson stormed into Bryan's new office and sneered angrily at him
"Bryan, what happened? I clearly remember you telling me that you're in love with Arielle, that's why I still left you around her, so what is all those I'm hearing about a break up? It's a birthday prank right?" Mrs Thompson hurled angrily
"Breathe madam Thompson,breath. I thought I loved her until my first love returned, I don't want to keep deceiving her so I let her go, tell me what I did so wrong" he shrugged indifferently and Mrs Thompson landed a slap across his face
"You good for nothing bastard! My daughter deserves better, Rot in hell!" Mrs Thompson cursed angrily and jerked out of the office
"Ugh!" Bryan sighed heavily and picked up his ringing phone
"Yes attorney Jeff, you can come in" he said calmly and hung up the call
