CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

“I don't understand, this is so…”

“Sudden?... I know.” Shola said, looking down to hide her blush.

He walked closer to her and knelt to meet her height, “Look at me Shola,” Seun placed his hand on her chin and raised her head. “Are you doing this because of your father's death?”

“No.” She lied, but her shaking eyes were enough for Seun to see through her lie.

“Let's think about this together Shola.” Even though this was all he wanted and every path he took was so he could achieve this goal, he had to play it cool and put on a good act. “I mean, I can see your hands shiver and you can't even look at me in the eyes.”

Getting off the chair and taking two steps away, Shola locked her hands in front of her, “I have thought about it already.”

“Shola…”

“Isn't this what you once wanted? To have me to yourself?” She turned around, trying to play his emotions.
