The door bell keep ringing and no one was going to get up to open the door. They both lay on the bed like they were dead and they were not eager to get up from the bed to check who was at the door. Thea phone would ring and then layla but none was ready to get up from the bed. "Who would be at the door". Thea said in a sleepy voice without even opening her eyes.
Finally Layla got out of the bed looking so messy, as she pass through the mirror then she came back to see her face and notice her eyes was really not in the right shape, she realize how messy she was, so she wore a hair bonnet and applied vitamin oil on her face while rub her eyes as she heard the door bell yet again.
She open the door only for her eyes to meet a golden scary eyes dress in a blue cooperate wear, his cologne took the whole hallway. He was a very tall guy, has a deep brown hair with a golden brown eyes. His look were too serious but he is one playful person. "If you two haven't change the password, am sure I won't be still here".
Layla rubbed her eyes because it was very obvious she just got out from bed, she gave him way to walk into the apartment "Are you both still sleeping". Layla stood there like she was about to get a whole lot of questioning from her senior brother. Ever since she knew Thea everyone in her family except for her dad has really been nice to her. He went to the dinner table and drop the bag he came with. She was pretty sure it was foods and other essential needs.
"Where is she"he has this dominating voice that one can't ignore. Layla slowly pointed to the room and went to arrange what he brought. His tall figure made way to the room. When he got there he saw the way Thea laid on the bed helplessly and he became curious if they drank late at night again "hey". He shouted even layla who was at the dinning was frightened.
Thea jump out from the bed holding her chest as she threw a pillow to him"don't you know how to knock" she shouted back. These was sibling fight and layla was not ready to be involved. "You went out drinking again". Galvin went to pull her out from the bed and drag her to the sitting room.
Thea struggles to get out of his grip but she was no match to compare to him, she was too weak "we went to the beach and got home really late". Layla said and gave Thea a glass of water. After she drank the water she kept the glass and walk to the dinning table going through what he brought.
"How is mum? "as she raise each flask up to check the food in it "oh food"she smile at the aroma coming from each flask her stomach wanted to eat all immediately. "You know what" Thea raise her head to listen to what he had to say "why dont you call her or even visit her". She went back to the sitting room and took a sit " you want the chairman to shoot blazer at me". They all laugh at the joke she said.
"Mum was quite busy and seem dad already or is having the feelings that we are still in contact with you". Thea hissed and brought her phone out "He definitely know what mum has been doing, he just pretended not to know for some reason". Layla came with a glass of orange juice and gave it to Nathan. "Why are you making him feel like a guest"
"He is a guest" She went back to the dinning and kept all the foods in the fridge Atleast for two weeks or so. It was going to be enough for them. "Next month is grandpa birthday". Thea ran her hand on her messy hair trying to fix it and then she held unto a pillow " oh is true, my regards"she smile " we are hosting a party for him next month and he want you to come".
"Wow, that really nice"Layla walk in holding a napkin on her hand. "I am not going " Thea said without blinking her eyes. "But he your grandpa and he want to see you"Layla went to her. "He do misses you ". Thea sat down upright still holding unto the pillow "It not like I don't want to see him, but dad".
Her word fails her, she stammers in between her words, it been seven years she last saw her father and she was not ready to see him not soon. He was not really the father figure she wanted. Few times she heard his voice were on news or even see his face on internet but she always have this fear in her, if she would ever be able to stand in front of him again. She tried her possible best to avoid him so they won't have to bumb at each other in a place unannounced and she did not tell anyone that she truely from the Holmes's family. They just made fun of it and she laugh with them. What if they actually find out she was part of the the Holmes 's , the respect they will be giving her and she does not like it, she like the way she living on the low and enjoying her job.
"Am sure dad will also be happy to see you". Galvin assures her "he won't try anything funny because lot of people will be there so don't worry and no media ". He assures her maybe if she was scared of making the front paper after the birthday party. "I won't come, I will just send a gift to him". Galvin stood up " hope you change your mind". He hug her "mum and grandpa would be really happy if you make it".
He walk up to Layla and whisper in her ears "make sure she comes ". Layla just stood there like a log of wood without moving she just nod her head and kept a straight face. He headed to the door "I got a job for you at the marketing department, in case Logan tries getting you out". He bright face was really something one could keep staring at. "You already know about my mini promotion ".
She smile "actually I told him"Thea went toward them "if he kick you out, weather you agree working with us or not I will make sure you do" he smile at them. Layla wasn't focus on what he was saying, she just stare at the gesture and keep on smiling. "Send my regards to mum". He open the door "Come to grandpa birthday party to see her "he smile and left the apartment.
The door close and Thea went back inside but she notice that Layla still stood there smiling "do you still have a crush on my brother? ". Thea cut her unaware, Layla tries using her hand to demonstrate "it just " when she found out she has nothing to say she turn around "I have a meeting to prepare for ". She quickly went inside to avoid more questions from Thea. "It very obvious you know " Thea shouted and after few minutes she heard scream from the room "arrrrrrrrgh". She sure still have a crush on him.
Back at Logan house, the place was very quiet he was sitted alone in his study room and was on a video conference call for hours. "If you can't make a suggestion then dont bother calling me ". He aura carries authority and possession, possessiveness, power, no one dares to look down at him "But we came up with several solution but none seem to appeal to you". A elderly man from among the table spoke, there were over 25 people sitted in the meeting hall and a screen was facing them. Mr Logan was not with them, he was miles always from them but they still fear and freak out by looking at the screen.
"You Call it several solution? " Logan was already losing his temper "I need a solution that would benefit the company for a long period of time". The elder man who said this was already in fear, he just knew he had made a mistake. "Does the solution you offer last for a month? ". No single person could talk , they all just face the table and no one dare to look up. "The next meeting, there should better be a more suitable solution to the problem". He ended the call.
Back at the meeting hall, people who were not able to talk all started murmuring and complaining. A guy who was sitted at one side of the table in the meeting quietly observing what was going on and he angrily hit the table drawing everyone's attention. He gave a side smirk "is this the kind of chairman you want? ".
"He clearly talks down on elders and show no respect ". Then a lady who was probably the same age with him walk towards him "He is your brother, you would have talk to him when he was on the call but you did not". She handed him his file which was on the table "you are literally like everyone here who keep quiet when he is here and talk behind his back, so best thing to do right now is to think on the solution to give him when we have another meeting ".
She smiled and wanted to leave then she turn around "he is the best CEO we can find so far ". Everyone in the room left without even looking at him. A young man came to him "sir I already apply for the course you wanted to study "he gave him the file and walk out. He try to lose his tie "this place is so suffocating ". He gave the tie to the man walking behind him. "Sir how long will you keep going back to school to study different courses ". The young man just gave a smile without responding.
Back at the Logan apartment after ended the video call, he went through the documents what Layla gave him and was still curious about what the lady in the picture was up to. After much thinking he took out his phone and went through the contact and finally found the number he was looking for, he dial the number and after it has rang for two times a lady finally answered.
"You finally decided to call me ". The lady voice was so elegant and tiny but yet one can still hear the evil in her voice. "Sophia" he finally says her name "what are you up to ". There was silent on the other end and she finally laugh out loud "I did not realize you still care " that was not want Logan wanted yo hear, he was already boiling in anger "actually am having lunch, you can join me ".
Logan fold his hands trying to be patient with her "what are you up to with
Mr Allen". He heard a sharp sound from the other end like she drop the spoon "Are you stalking me, don't worry I wont kill you ". She let out a sigh. "You been stalking me all you life, not bad if i have to find out what you are up to recently especially having to see you with Mr Allen "
"Caring for me don't suit you and it worries me a lot, you are not the type to show your feelings ". The lady on the other end of the call said "Don't worry too much I won't stain my hands with blood". Then she ends the call without allowing Logan say a word.
A lady sitted in a big table with food on it drop the spoon and took the napkin and clean her mouth and poured a glass of red wine for herself. As her voice was gorgeous so was her beauty. She had a ginger short hair with blue eyes and a well defined nose, long legs like that of a model and a well fitted body. A lady walk to where she was sitted on "any useful information about his assistant ".
She sip from the glass "not really, they just work base on business schedule and that all and she also went to his house yesterday "she raise her head and laugh out really hand " just this one information is very useful ". She drink from the glass again and smiled "Logan what are you up to ". She kept the glass and stood up "keep an eyes on both of them do not miss a thing ". The sound of her heels made noise until she slowly disappgues.
