Thomas visited Norah poultry again. This time, Norah was in a good mood and ready to attend to him.
They work around the poultry.
"You mean this belongs to your late parent." Thomas asked her.
" Yes." Right, we sat on a chair where I told him all I had passed through.
"That is so sad. Am sorry for all you have been through with your ex-husband," Thomas said to her.
"Don't worry, it is a part of my history." I answered answered. Thomas added.
"I would like to ask you for a favor." Thomas said.
"What favor is that.?" I asked him.
"My company, we'll be having a get-together tonight, and I don't mind you coming with me." He requested from me.
"As what.?" I asked him.
Thomas laughed, making it fun, as I began to feel relieved around me.
"Should we make it a deal.?" He asked me.
"The same deal that almost ran my life. The contract marriage with William." I reminded him.
" No. You will get to enjoy the moment with me. I know you are pregnant; that served it better." He replied me.
"What?" he cut me short.
"I would like to surprise the whole staff with a secret pregnancy." He said to me, with mean.
"Just for today, and after that we both go our separate ways." I said to him.
Toward the night, when it was almost time for the gathering. I dressed in my best clothes with hope to find happiness.
Thomas drove in, stepped down from his car, and headed to the sitting room.
" Woooo!" He exclaimed the moment he set his eye on me.
"You are such a beautiful lady. Who looked so cherming and sweet?" He said to me.
I was much blushing as well.
"Thanks a lot." I said to him. We hand hands together down to the car park. Thomas treating me like a queen got the car door opened, and I got the same with him as his driver drove to the party hall.
" Woooo!" This is a great gathering, a billionaire gathering as well.
"Yes, it is." He answered me.
We got in, and everyone looked surprised to see Thomas with me.
All eyes on us. They all await him to introduce me. I started having a handshake with the staff I was meeting for the first time. Be a happy gathering, yet I still see it as stupid to act in such a manner.
"She is my woman." I overheard Thomas say that to his colleagues.
"Don't try to act such here; you and I know that you don't have feelings for a woman; the feelings die the very day you lost your late wife." Kingsley said to him.
"Please hang it there; I don't want her to know about this." Thomas requested of him. I pretended not to have heard them. After the party, Thomas drove me home the next morning. Right at the gate to my house, I said to him.
"Sorry for your lost wife; you didn't say that to me, but I overheard it from your friend." I said to him.
"You have a sharp ear then," Thomas answered me, with a sad look on his face.
"Yes, I lost her; she was kind to me; she took almost your appearance; your smile reminds me of her." He paused and held my hands. "Norah, can you be my woman.?" Thomas asked.
I looked around and said to him.
"This wasn't what we planned; I think the deal is over; let go of our separate ways," I replied to him, Thomas insisting when I saw the feeling coming towards me. I owned the car and walked into my room. There in my room, I looked directly in the mirror.
" I know this would happen, he is opposite of William, but that doesn't mean I should easily fall into his trap of love." I said within me.
" I see someone is in love again." Clara walked slowly itno my room.
" Then you are seeing it from a wrong part. He asked me to be his woman." I said to Clara after that turned to her. " This is what I can't accept in a hurry, I don't want to experience same William did to me."
" Clara looking at the man, you will get to know that he is caring, and at thesame time he loves you." " Whatever you had with Williams should have told you that it all happened under the influence of a contract with him, he didn't love you." Clara encourage me. " Give Thomas a chance, you need someone who would make you happy. Just look at yourself, this is just a month with him, you are getting more beautiful and attractive." Clara putting more into my mouth.
" I have same feelings for him." I replied clara
"What are you waiting for.?" Clara asked. When my phone was wrong, I looked and saw it was Thomas calling.
"I am calling to check on you, Norah, and to tell you that I have been unable to sleep," Thomas said through the phone.
"Why.?" I asked him.
"I can't get off your memory from my head; even at the office, I almost make a mistake typing your name into the system rather than the amount." "Norah, I love you. I only want you to say yes to my request, and I promised to make you the happiest woman on earth." Thomas said to me.
I was short of words. Looking at Clara, she pleaded more with me to give Thomas a try.
"I will give it a try." I replied, Thomas.
Thomas breathed down as he replied to me. "Thanks for that; I promise that you want to regret it in return." We both had romantic words, and after that I slept off, with my heart full of joy and in peace, seeing the future brighter with Thomas.
