The Billionaire Secret Admirer

We went there on Friday and came back home on Sunday.

The sadness try to return again immediately I came back to the house but I tried my best to engage my mind by watching different comedy show.

I know is a matter of time and my parents will resume their constant reminder again about marriage. They will start in a nice way and with time return to hunting me with it until I start going crazy. I wasn’t ready for such again and it was time to take the bold step and find a place.

I finally got an apartment, far from everyone just like Anita suggested.

I furnished it to my taste and moved in but after a week I felt so lonely than before. I come back to an empty house and there was no one to ask me how my day went or how I’m doing.

I usually sit to watch movies and comedy shows, I make food and stuff myself with it. Sometimes all I want to do is to cry my eyes off until I feel alright.

Both my family and friends gave their different support in words and other means but that empty feeling was still there, no matter how I try.

Anita visits, she decided to keep me company for two weeks. Jojo also came to visit but did not stay long because of Anita.

I really do not know what exactly they are fighting over but I got my own problem and don’t want to press out information from them.

One day, while Anita was away that weekend Jojo came to see me. She even invited me to a night club where I will dance and drink away my sorrow but I turned it down, she suggested we just hang out but I wasn’t in the mood to leave the house.

Jojo started advising me concerning Anita.

“You have to be careful with Anita, she Is not a nice person…she is a real betrayer. I did not want to tell you this in the beginning but I think she was the one that sold you off to Richie. She denied it because she knows that her secrets was about to be laid open. Anita is a traitor and you shouldn’t have allowed her stay here with you. She will lie and steal from you and even tarnish your image. She is filled with lies and very smart at it. I can’t be deceive by her niceness because she is evil. Be very careful with her. tell her to leave your house that you are fine and do not need anybody babysitting you. Tell her that you have gotten over Richie and ready to move on with your life, tell Anita to move out. I hate to see her whenever I come visiting you…

I asked Jojo what really happened between her and Anita but she beat around and did not tell me the exact problem.

Anita has been with me for the past two weeks voluntarily. She has being very helpful and we stay together every weekend or go out if we have anywhere to go. I don’t have any reason to suspect Anita and I did not want to bridge my friendship with Jojo.

I have other of my friends who comes around to visit. Ella comes and sometimes Rina stop by with her little daughter to say hello.

I value all my friends and don’t want to hold on to anybody’s fault.

I have already let go about Richard and how he got the information and also the ear ring. I am not depending on that again.

I enjoy Anita’s company and Jojo shouldn’t dictate for me on who to be friendly with all because she was not in good term with Anita.

I told Jojo that whenever Anita want to leave she is free to do that. Jojo said she will stop coming to my place because of Anita and I told her to do as she pleases.

Ella got married and I attended her wedding but I did not catch flower during her wedding.

I just sat and watch other young girls struggle with the bouquet.

I later turned 29years. I did not blow the trumpet out. I don ‘t want anybody to even know that I just added another year but my parents called and few friends that knows the date of my birth also send messages and calls.

Melinda my younger sister called and also my elder brother, Joe wished me a happy birthday.

Jojo did not come around and I have not seen her for a month, I called her and she told me that she was busy with things.

Anita bought a small cake and few other things for me. I did not go out as we sat watching a television show while chewing at the goodies she bought.

At work, I was back to being active again and my performance increased unlike before, I thought I was going to die after Richard left but I’m still living and hoping for better days.

I have not seen Mr Ohio for a long time and as I sat at the cafeteria one day, I saw him walk past with a female who was all over him. He smiled and wave at me and I waved back.

I assumed is probably his woman and try not to think of it.

I ran into him one day on my way out and greeted him kindly, he responded.

“Hi Becca, is good to see you again, I have being away on a business meeting abroad and I just return back last week. How have you being?

“I’m doing well sir and you…I hope the meeting went fine….?

I said trying not to sound so tensed, even though I don’t like the way we stood close to each other and I can perceive his nice cologne.

“Sure, it was great. Thanks for asking. I can see you are on your way home…

I nodded with a smile and he smiled back, before telling me good bye. I replied as he watch me walked away.

Jojo visited me to show me her engagement ring. She just got engaged by her lover who she calls “sugar”

i was really happy for her and congratulated her. I asked her to show me the picture of the guy but she didn’t, she said someday I will get to know him. I wonder why she was hiding him. I know and have seen Anita’s own fiance. Anita usually come to my place with him.

Jojo is never this secretive but is her life and if she chose not to show the man’s face then is alright by me. I will support every decision she takes that will make her happy.

As we sat and talked, I mentioned Mr Ohio to her and even told Jojo the way he makes me hot all over whenever he is talking to me but I assumed he may be hooked with a lady because I have seen him moving with same lady who was into him twice.

Jojo laughed and said I should keep away from such people, he maybe a player and irresponsible man.

We talked and after sometimes she left.

Two days later I was surprise to see Jojo In my office. She said she came to pay me a surprise visit.

She was not wearing her engagement ring, I asked her about it and she said it was in her hand bag, she wears it when she is with her “sugar” and whenever she feels like.

I even took her to the eatery which was within the office. She kept looking round all through the time. I was forced to ask her what she was searching for.

She laughed out before saying she was looking out for my handsome boss friend, that I should introduce her to him.

I told her that I’m not close to the man and I haven’t seen him since yesterday so I can’t introduce them.

She said she will wait until he comes out.

Mr Ohio did not come down to the office that day. Jojo felt disappointed as we went home.

Jojo visited again the following day and she was lucky to see Mr Ohio who did not give her a second look.

But Jojo who was not ready to give up stayed behind, waiting for another opportunity of seeing the man.

While we were having lunch, Jojo was busy talking about Mr Ohio.

“Oh mine, Becca, he is so handsome. I have never seen such a handsome and well-polished man in a long while. If truly you are my best friend, you should try and introduce us properly. Tell him that your friend want to say hello. I don’t care if he is hooked or not I just want him to notice me. Please…please Becca stop being stingy…This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I laughed out my disappointment before saying to her.

“But you are engaged Jojo. I don’t think that will be cool picking interest in another man while you are already into one. You should be looking forward to your wedding. What will you even do with Mr Ohio if he happens to pick interest in you…remember you once told me that he maybe a player and irresponsible, you said I should keep away from him but here you are looking out for him. I don’t understand you Jojo. Please, respect the man you are engaged to. Is doesn’t seem right doing this…don’t you think?

“Becca, leave it all to me. Is my problem not yours just hook me up with the man and I don’t care if he is married already or not. I like him and wish to be his friend that is all. To hell with engagement, if Mr Ohio pick interest in me I will just break off my engagement. My boyfriend thought he is the only one I have but I play a cool and smart games too. As much as I like my Sugar but settling down now is not in my agenda except if Mr Ohio ask me to marry him…it will be heaven on earth. I’m only engage not married so I’m still free to mingle as I want…
