Chapter 5

"Hey man, it's been ages how have you been," Joey asked as soon as he saw Addy approaching him, they both hugged each other

"I'm good man, I know it has been ages, how is your law firm? I'm sure it's growing well" Addy replied

"It is growing steadily thanks, I think the last time we spoke was about 11 years ago during my grandfather's burial," Joey said

"Oh yeah as it been that long time flies" Addy replied

Addy and Joey went to the same high school together and were even in the same class, but they were not that close. they only said hello to each other and the most conversation they've had together was during a project back in high school when they were grouped together. He was the king of the school then, where everyone wants to be his friend and the girls were always following him then. Although he was cold then as well, he was never mean to him or rude, so he is cool with him. There was even a day he helped him out when he got into trouble with the teacher and after the incident, he never did as if the incident happened. They went to the same school, were in the same class and they were civil with each other.

So Joey was a little bit shocked to see Addy approach him first to say hello. Meanwhile, Addy realized he recognized the man that was sat beside Eva and decided to use the opportunity to speak to the beauty that captivated him. So he decided to approach them before they leave.

Meanwhile, Mia and Mya were so confused as to why their favourite crush would be talking to their male cousin and not them. Ignoring the situation, Mia stood up

"Hello, I'm Mia Williams daughter of Wills Cooperations Vice President," she said stretching her hands towards Addy with a big smile

"Hello and I'm Mya Williams her twin sister"

Addy looked at them and frowned

"Oh I don't shake ugly people" with that, he turned his direction to Joey giving him the look that says 'won't you introduce her'. The twins almost fainted and they were so embarrassed that their legs gave in and they sat quietly. It is not that the twins were ugly but he just doesn't like the way they treated Eva throughout the night and he doesn't feel like talking to them. Both Joey and Eva were shocked and surprised as well. They were confused about what just happened but didn't say anything. Leo knows his boss can be petty sometimes.

" oh yeah this is my Cousin Eva Williams," Joey said nudging Eva lightly, now he knows why Addy came over to greet him, he fancies his cousins and does not want to make it obvious. well, he doesn't mind Addy dating his cousin if he wants since he's a nice guy and he hasn't heard any scandal about him which means he is not a playboy. And more so his cousin has never brought any guy home to introduce him as the one. Winking at Addy to give him a go-ahead on whatever he was planning, and Addy clearly understood.

"Hello, I'm Andrew Thompsons nice to meet you" as he took Eva's hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Eva was slightly taken back by his reaction but she didn't show it. The twins were overwhelmed with jealousy,

"who does she think she is?" Mia mumbled

"shes trying to seduce my husband" she continued

Addy shoot her some glaring stares and sweat beads run down her face as she remembered some rumours about him

"Oh yeah, I'm Eva Williams, the pleasure is mine" Eva responded

Leo was observing quietly behind Addy, he was surprised to see him make the first move. He thinks his boss is so cute.

"Big Cous, my driver will soon be here, I will take my leave now, see you in the afternoon"

"Alright no worries, see you"

"where are you going, I can drop you," Addy asked. Everyone was shocked and surprised Addy suggested to drop Eva.

"Well you don't have to worry my driver will pick me up and sorry I'm not telling a stranger where I live," Eva said bluntly, she thought 'this guy is so weird, how can you ask a lady whose driver is waiting for her outside that kind of suggestion'

"Miss Williams, I just feel like it would not be nice to have you go home alone since it is late" Addy said

"Oh well Mr Thompons, I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. Thanks for your concern, off I go. Do have a good night" Eva replied while she stood up from her seat and strode out.

The twins and Leo were shocked about what just happened.

Addy smiled and was satisfied with her reaction. Leo has never seen his boss behave this way since he's been working with him.

Addy and Joey exchanged numbers and promised to contact each other before they both left the venue. Mia and Mya were still dumbfounded as they dragged each other out of the hall.
