Chapter 15

Meanwhile, Addy was staring at Leo to give him an explanation of why Eva's secretary was like that to him.

"She is my ex and first love, I cheated on, multiple times," Leo said

Addy was really angry, and slap him at the back of his head, and said to him

"Now I have to work time ten to prove myself to Eva I'm not a dog like you" he murmured

"But you know I've changed" Leo lamented

"Whatever, you see what your stupid sausage is about to cost me, you are better behave properly and apologise to Lilian and make sure she forgives you," Addy said angrily as they got in his car and made their way to the restaurant to meet Eva and Lilian.

They got to the restaurant around the same time, as Leo went into the restaurant to confirm the booking as the waitress took them into their private room.

Addy and Eva sat opposite each other, while Leo and Lilian sat opposite each other. No one was saying anything and the atmosphere was awkward. So Addy decided to make a conversation

"Miss Eva, thanks so much for choosing our company" he smiled

"Yeah, your company's reputation is really high so I'm sure I did the right thing"

The waiter came in to get their orders and left immediately to get their foods.

As they were waiting for their orders, Lilian whispered into Eva's ears and she nodded

"I'm sorry, we would have to leave now, we've got an emergency we need to attend to," Eva said as she stood up with a smirk. Eva and Lilian planned that when they get to the restaurant they would order the food and leave, since they want to eat with them at all cost.

Addy thought to himself 'is that a smirk, no this is not an issue of emergency but she feels disgusted towards them and doesn't want to be in the same room with them and he knows its because of his stupid friend that is beside him'

"Oh but we've already ordered the food, can't you stay a little bit longer?" Addy argued her

"I can't, sorry, even if I want to, I can't breathe the same air as some animal in this room, so I would take my leave now" She replied... Addy was like ' I knew it, it's not an emergency'

Addy poked Leo to say something to Lilian at least. Leo was staring at Lilian, thinking how can she be so gorgeous and beautiful after all this while. The last time he saw her was when she barged in on him while having sexual intercourse with someone else. But he didn't see the glow he's seeing now then.

"Lilian, I've been meaning to call you" Leo straightened himself up in a remorseful manner

"Its Miss Mount now, you don't have the right to call me by my first name" Lilian spoke with confidence. Leo thought since when did she have that much confidence oozing out.

"What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry for what happened in the past, I was childish then but I'm all grown now, and I hope we are cool now or stay friends at least" he replied looking down

Lilian was shocked to hear him apologise and see him being remorseful, she didn't say anything but stood up and followed her boss. As they were about to step out, Eva turned back and said

"I hope our next meeting will be handled and organised by Mr Daniel, it's nice seeing you again. Oh and don't forget to finish the food, you know its not good to waste food, make sure you finish it" as she stepped out of the room. She looked at Lilian, who looked like she's about to cry.

"Let's get into the car before it drops, remember shoulder up, chest out and where is that confident and gorgeous secretary I hired," Eva said as she linked her arms with Lilian's as they made their way to the basement where her car is parked.

The moment they entered the car, Lilian couldn't hold it anymore, she wept will a baby, she remembered everything she went through like it was yesterday. She unconsciously touched her belly remembering she was pregnant for him but had miscarriage although he didn't know about the pregnancy, he was also the reason she didn't tell him.

The day she went to his house to tell him about the pregnancy, because he hasn't been picking her calls, she caught him cheating on her for the fifth time and she couldn't take it anymore, she broke up with him.

Not knowing the woman he cheated with knew where she was living and sent some hoodlums to beat her up, she was left unconscious and lost the pregnancy that day. The doctor told her it is not possible to give birth because they had to do an operation which required the womb to be removed.

She was in the hospital for almost three months and decided to start her life afresh deleting most of her past, and moving forward hoping not to meet him again.

And now he's asking for forgiveness, and for them to be friends, how wicked can he be.

After crying for a while, she stopped and looked at Eva who has been patting her on the back since they entered the car and the driver who was so confused as to why she started crying as soon as she entered the car.

"We can go now, I'm fine," Lilian said. Eva thought, there has to be more to their story than just break up but she didn't want to ask, whenever she's ready, she will tell her.

The driver looked at Eva to confirm.

"Yeah let's go" Eva confirmed
