Chapter 29 CHARITY
ARYA/SILVIA POV
Unbelievable Irene, “why did you do that?” “Because you need to move on from Lucas, he doesn’t want you and from what I have heard he is married with kids,” will you wait for him forever when you know he does not and will never love you, “why do you say it like that?” It is the truth, and you need to start thinking about your child. He needs a father figure in his life. My son is okay the way he is. Why are you bothered about my love when you can’t even date someone for two weeks.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Oh that’s rich coming from you,” well at least I get pleasure, something that you clearly need, you have been like this for what?
Ten years! “Please don’t tell me you are waiting for Lucas,” am not fucking waiting for him, and I know he never loved me, I just don’t want to fall in love with the wrong person again, I don’t want to get involve with people and ruin their life, she sighed, “is this about Tobias? Do you perhaps want to see him?” I nod and sniffled, “I miss him so, much,” I sniffled, “I know you do, come here,” she wrapped her arms around me, I needed comfort right now, if you want to see him we can just go there and see him, I know for sure he misses you and I won’t be surprised if he is still looking for you.
He never gives up on his friends, Lucas doesn’t deserve such friendship, I loved him you know? Who Tobias, yeah, I love him like a brother and I fell in love with Lucas but he didn’t feel the same way, I should have listened to Tobias, Lucas is someone that will never fall in love, don’t say that, am sure you had a place in his heart, he did say he liked you, remember? It was the happiest day of my life, well one of the happiest days and he told me I was going to officially be Isa’s mother, I even signed it, he went to submit it and I just wanted to celebrate it with my friend until everything went sideways. You know, my brother actually has a crush on you, ew no, he doesn’t, he does she said seriously, I laughed it off changing the topic, just set up the date on weekends not while am going to work, oh, I forgot, I will do that now, what are you doing? Am rescheduling your date, fine, whatever.
Have been learning about the family company, am part of the family, I had to go back to school and get a business degree, have been Liam’s PA for two weeks now and he has tried to make me feel comfortable but how do you go from calling someone dumbass to sir, he has been very helpful and has helped me understand things about the company, Liam is really a cool boss, although, he his strict but he loves and takes care of everyone in the company. Hey, how’s it going so far? He asked after he sent me to get some documents for him to sign. It’s great you don’t need to worry about me sir, you don’t have to call me sir when we are alone, I know I am just used to it.
“I need you to take these documents to my sister,” yes sir, I replied. “I still don’t understand why you want her to take over the business,” he laughed, “she deserves the company, she works so hard,” I know but I like you being the CEO, am not going for good you know am starting up my own company, actually I already started it and it’s going great, good to know, I’ll just take this to her then, thank you Arya he said smiling, sure, anything for my friend
I went straight to her office, have a seat she says getting bossy as always, she moved close to the desk , I handed her the documents and explained to her the details she needed to know, she read through it to make sure everything is correct, she took her pen out and also sign on the areas her brother did, we didn’t say anything, after the signing I stood up t leave “am sorry Arya, I never should have said that to you” it okay I deserve it am sorry as well, I hate when we fight, me too. So, friends? Yeah, friends I hugged her and sat down, so how are you faring so far? I know you are doing great, seen a lot of progress and am impressed, can’t believe you’re talking to me with your boss tone right now, snap out of it I need my friend back, oops sorry
Thanks for asking, so far so good am getting the hang of it, and am loving it here, told you so. There is this charity event organized by this company, oops have forgotten the name but I will like to go with me
“Anything for you,” thank you, she kissed my cheek, I went home and got ready, thank goodness the babysitter is here, thank you for looking after him Cindy, she’s young, still in high school, she is eighteen and have been on her own, have been thinking of telling her to move in with me, she lost her only surviving family which was her grandmother, she has been struggling to fend for herself and couldn’t afford to pay her rent, I fed her sometimes, she had three jobs and the pay was less, it couldn’t do anything for her since she had bills to pay, her grandmother hospital bill being the most important, have tried to offer her money but she refused what I will do is to go behind her back and pay it.
“Mom, I told you I can take care of myself,” he whined, “like hell you can,” I mumbled, after thirty minutes of getting ready, my phone starts to ring, “hello bitch” I immediately knew who it was “how many phone number do you have Irene?” I said putting the phone on speaker, that shouldn’t concern you, tell me, are you done? She asked while I was putting on my shoes, yep almost, just putting on my shoes, “well open the door bitch so I can greet our son” he is not our son I emphasize on the OUR” he is my son, you need to stop saying that, Angelo already asked if you were his second mother, did you tell him yes, I scoffed why should I, we are not dating, good, because you are definitely not my type, I know you have a thing for girls with red hair and blue eyes and boys with blue eyes and black hair, am still bothered by your choice in men and women, oh, and guess what? Your crush is here.
Who are you talking about? She asked nervously like she doesn’t know who I was talking about. Cindy of course, she shrieked, why didn’t you tell me, I would have dressed well, bitch get in here the door is open.
“Did you see her, she looks so hot today,” she replied fanning herself, “why don’t you just ask her out?” I questioned her, knowing how much she likes her, every time she gushes about Cindy, it so annoying. “Have you seen her, she’s a fucking child Silvia,” am so much older than her she is like sixteen or seventeen am I lying, “she is almost nineteen Irene,” *eye roll, “doesn’t matter, still a child and she deserves someone better,” I don’t want to ruin her life with my drama, that is the sweetest thing I have ever heard you say about someone, normally, when I say go for it, you just jump into it without questioning it but am so proud of you right now, alright, enough of that, let move the charity is going to start in an hour, we need to get there and mingle with new business partners, I did exactly what she said and tried talking to people and I got four business card already, I can say am proud of myself, I went to get myself a drink then I heard a voice that I thought I would never hear again calling me. Arya? Fuck! What should I do?
