Business trip
” Shhh, I am here with you ” ” No one can hurt you anymore, please stop crying ” Nathan said stroking Sadie’s back gently. It angers him so much that she’s suffering because of her family yet, she doesn’t want him to take them from the surface of the earth or better still, take them back to the grassroot. But Nathan respect Sadie’s decision, he knows she can take her retaliation by herself. All he wants to do is sit back, secretly protect her and watch her deal with her family. Sadie’s voice died down she wasn’t crying nor sniffing anymore, all her weight fell on Nathan. The only thing heard was her faint and steady breathe. She’s sleeping! Seriously? Nathan couldn’t help but chuckle.
How can she fall asleep just now? He quietly lay her back down then covered her with the sheets. Nathan gaze admiringly at her. Her tears dried up on her cheeks but that doesn’t make her less beautiful. She looks beautiful even in her sleep. A sleeping beauty! God wasn’t wrong when he sent her his way.
They both are perfect match. A match made in heaven.. Her perfectly shaped lips were inviting, Nathan had to control himself not to do anything that will put him on Sadie’s hate list. Patience!! Patience is virtue. All of her is his so why rushing? In two weeks, he can have her as he pleases but if only she’s comfortable with it. Everything about her is worth the wait. ” Good night beautiful ” Nathan sighed making his way out of Sadie’s room. ★★★★★★★★ Next morning…… Nathan walked closer to Sadie. His hazel eyes boring into hers. Sadie’s eyes almost jumped out of its socket when he grabbed her waist.
What’s he doing? Sadie found herself closing her eyes when his face inched closer but… Nathan’s eyes went to her hair. Her brought it down to her shoulder and then, he took as step back from her. ” You look more beautiful when your hair is on your shoulder ” he complimented and chuckled. Sadie mentally slapped herself, how stupid was she to think he was going to kiss her. Her cheeks turned crimson from embarrassment. That gingered Nathan’s laughter . Sadie glared at him making her way into the car. She held her teeth trying hard not to laugh at her own stupidity. ” You look so cute when you blush ”
Nathan said as he entered into the car and drove off earning no reply from Sadie. They were already getting used to each other. And Sadie was used to Nathan’s flirtatious ways. Some times she wonder why Nathan chose her over other ladies and why he’d helped her in the first place. All are misery to her, she will find out sooner or later. Each time she think back to when she was stabbed. It surprises her to know that Nathan stayed beside her unconscious body till she was awake. ” Oh my goodness” Sadie let out a scream as realization downed on her. ” Are you okay?” Nathan asked. ” huh, yeah ” she bit her lips nervously. How can she forget the only person she had when her family turned their backs on her? Sadie was so busy with her own life that she forgot about her best friend. Lani!!!!
She will be so mad at her. Sadie quickly brought out her phone fortunately, she’d memorized her number long ago. She imputed Lani’s number. She picked up after two rings. ” H.. hello” Sadie’s nervous voice spoke first.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
She waited for Lani to reply but she didn’t. Didn’t she…. ” Sadie fùcking Meyers, you are so dead ” Lani yelled from the other side. It only took her a minute to know that it was Sadie. Oops!!! ” Did you have to shout Lani?” Sadie asked . She was sure Nathan heard her screaming because he chuckled afterwards. ” Don’t ask me that question stupid, did you know I am so mad at you? Did you know how worried I have been? I thought the world wide handsome idol Nathan sold you out for slavery” Sadie’s eyes widened and she quickly glanced at Nathan. Damn! He’d heard her because Lani was screaming. Nathan grinned and continue driving. Thank goodness he didn’t take Lani’s words to heart. Sadie smirked and decided to mess with her best friend a little. ” Guess what? He’s right here beside me and he heard what you said, he isn’t taking it lightly”
Sadie heard gasp from Lani. ” Oh my God! I was fùcking joking Sadie, is he very mad at me? Ah! I am sorry, why the hell did you put your phone on speaker?” Lani yelled. Sadie rolled her eyes. ” The question should be why did you scream?” She asked back holding in her laughter. ” Damn it Sadie, you are so mean. Now what will he think of me? ” Okay, that’s it!
Both Nathan and Sadie burst out laughing. Can’t she be a little dramatic? All of Lani is full of drama. ” Goodness, I was kidding. He isn’t mad at you ” Sadie confessed. Lani on the other hand cursed under her breath.
She’s mad her best friend abandoned her and now she’s making fun of her. ” Don’t think I have forgotten the fact that you abandoned me for a whole month ” Lani snorted. ” I know and I am sorry Lani, I was just caught up with lots of things on my table ” Sadie replied sincerely. ” Guess you have a lot to tell me, I want to hear all of it. You shouldn’t dare extract anything from it ” Lani threatened. ” I promise I won’t ” ” We should meet tomorrow then” Lani suggested. ” Yeah, that will do. I will talk to you later, I gotta go” ” Alright, take care ” The car halted in front of LBC and Sadie hopped out. ” Thank you ” she said . ” The pleasure is all mine beautiful” Nathan threw flying kisses her way. Sadie chuckled shaking her head. ” Your Mum and sister, what time are they coming?” She asked. ” By 5pm ” he replied. ” Uhhm, it will be best if I get home before them. How about picking me up by 4pm? ” ” And your boss?” Nathan asked. ” Well, I will ask for his permission. He won’t have a problem with that” ” Alright then, see you when I see you ” ****************************** ” And where did you think you are going? ”
Sofia asked blocking Sadie’s way. After Mia told Sadie about her, this is the first day they are meeting. Sadie got to know her through her research about her. She’s definitely wiser now, anyone that will give her trouble won’t go away with it. She had to investigate about Sofia Huang for security reasons and right now, Sadie knows everything about her like the back of her hand. ” Good morning Miss Huang ” Sadie said politely standing as calm as always. Even a psychologist will find it hard to read her thoughts. ” Hell with your pleasantries, keep them to yourselves. You think I will stay back and watch you take my position in this company?” Sofia rant angrily. She so much hate this lady in front of her that seems to have taken even their boss’ attention. Anything Mr Lin says, he must mention Sadie’s name. ” I don’t know what you are talking about Miss Huang, can you please leave my way?” Sadie said trying to leave but Sofia pushed her. ” You don’t try to walk out on me when I am talking to you. You are nothing but a third rated model ” she snapped at Sadie. ” At least, I am a third rated model. I am glad I did not give out my body to achieve a position I do not deserve ” Sadie smirked shoving sofia out of her way. Sofia blinked her eyes rapidly. Did she just say that to her? How did Sadie know that she threw herself at Mr Lin? Sofia’s very sure she’s never told anyone about it so how? Who the hell is she huh? Or did she do a random guess? No!! Sadie spoke with so much confidence like she was sure of what she was saying. Sofia stormed her feet angrily leaving the premises.
It’s not over!!! ……………………………………………………. ” You look absolutely beautiful Sadie ”
Mena said throwing her hands up in the air. They were both helping the maids to serve their dinner while Mrs Rogers and Nathan were having a discussion. ” Thank you and you are glowing also. How’s school?” Sadie asked. Mena is in her third year in college. By next year, she will be a graduate. She already planned on getting her degree in the US. She’s tired of staying here and being worshipped by people because her family are rich. She got a rich father, a rich mother and a rich brother. Why won’t she be popular? ” Hectic, I am so tired of that school. I can’t wait to graduate. Dinner is set everyone ” Mena yelled to her mother and brother. Few minutes later…….. Sadie sat beside Nathan as they ate quietly. She can’t wait to listen to what Mrs Rogers have to say. She’s been so anxious about it. Both Sadie and Mrs Rogers haven’t really spoken aside those times they visited. Finally!!!
Mrs Rogers cleared her throat and all attention went to her. ” Well, you two might not welcome our new arrangements but there’s nothing we can do about it ” She said pointing at Sadie and Nathan. The couple glanced at each other before focusing their attention on Mrs Rogers. ” Your father and I will be traveling in five days for a business trip, we will be spending a month and half before returning ” ” And so, we came to a conclusion that your wedding should be shifted forward, since is not a grand wedding yet, we want to get you two married before we go and that should be in three days ” Sadie choked on her meal and Nathan screamed!!! ” What?” ********************** Mr Meyers was seen pacing about, he placed to and fro in the room in anger mixed with fear.
This can’t happen!! ” Calm down Meyers, you need to calm down ” gabriella said grabbing her husband’s shoulder but he jerked away. ” How can you tell me to calm down when everything I have worked for will crash down right before me? ” Gabriella kept quiet without knowing what to say. She doesn’t want to believe what her husband is saying. They can’t wake up and loose everything just like that. It’s not possible is it? ” I can’t remember offending Mr Rogers, why did he have to do this to me? He withdrew all his shares from my company and you know my company is nothing without him ” Mr Meyers paused flaring his nose almost breaking down in tears. ” He owns 70% of the shares in my company, I am doomed gabriella. I have lost everything I fought for, what will become of me? ” He crash to the floor unable to hold back the tears. When and how did he offend Mr Rogers?
