"Dear stranger, forgive me and may our paths never cross again but if our paths cross again I promise to make it up to, I'll show you friendship and ask for forgiveness" Isabella said
"What?"
"That was a promise to God….. I felt bad about the incident that I prayed and made a proclamation" she said and smiled
"Sorry Abril, I wasn't in the mood. My business was starting well after my dad's passing, my siblings needed to go to school and I needed a roof on our heads so I was desperate looking for sponsorship. There was so much anger in me that I failed them when I couldn't bag any sponsorship, I am sorry" she added
"It's ok"
"By the way, how did you manage the situation" she asked and he told her everything from the time she saw her note and realizing it wasn't a joke to him rushing to the bathroom and the messy situation he was in
Isabella laughed
"Oh you were a unique devil and I couldn't forget you, when I saw you again and you were the opposite of who I met. I was doubting if it was really you until you started clamping back at me" Abril said and she smiled
"So can we be friends" she said reaching out for a handshake, Abril smiled and hugged her
"Sorry I was happy finally there was no war" he said
They went to sleep with a light heart
Else where, Clara and Nathan were made to work on several projects and Nathan couldn't hide his displeasure but Clara cared less
He got used to blaming and accusing Clara of every mistake
"Nathan you were to talk to ken and Lima about partnering with us on our next project? Mira said
"Yes I was but one document was missing so I had to postpone the meeting, Clara failed again to compile an accurate and complete document"
"Excuse you, I am not even part of your team on that project" Clara said
"It's enough! We are here to win contracts that can help the company. We're competing with others and I don't want mistakes. Gris empire is known to be a good company but I don't want us to be just good I need dominance in every sector" Mira said
They talked about a few things and they left
"It seems I live rent free in your mind? Careful you might fall for me after all I am damn hot" Clara said blew him a kiss and left laughing
"I will never "
"Hey I heard that but never say never" Clara said and went to her office
Abril and Isabella became friends and they talked for hours
Abril at night came to get water
"Miss isa is very lively when she's with sir Abril"
"I think so too they seem like the perfect match"
"Both are amazing people and they deserve each other" he walked on to hear the maids talking about them, he smiled and Matilda saw him
"Stop gossiping and go and sleep" she said and they went to their rooms
"Abril do you like Isabella"
"What?"
"You were smiling upon hearing what they were saying, it seems you don't hate her anymore" Matilda said
"Hate???"
"Yes previously you used to come to me every time she did something to you complaining and saying how much you hated her"
"Haha nanny I didn't mean that"
"So do you like her?"
"I don't hate her"
"Abril remember she's your brother's girlfriend" Matilda said, he stop smiling
"I know" he said and left
Aunt Matilda was right whatever he was feeling for her should stop
The next day
Isabella got bored doing nothing, she heard aunt Matilda talking about going to the market and
"Aunty I can go to the market while you do other work"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes" she said with a smile
She saw Abril approaching, she smiled at him when he was coming but he didn't
He was about to bypass her when she held his hand
"Please don't stop me, I need to get rid of whatever I'm feeling" he said in his head as he closed his eyes
"Abril I want you to go to the market with me" she said softly
"I can't I need to go somewhere" he said and left to the kitchen
"I will compile the list and see what we need" Matilda said
Isabella could feel something wrong and she didn't like it
Abril saw her sitting there, sad and alone and in deep thought
"Are you sad because of me? But isa I need to stop this feelings before it takes over me completely" he said
