Feeding Anita

Mrs Bright stared to Max and she sighed, "Okay just let me know, when she has eaten. I don't want Anita to get sick, As you know the Days family wouldn't want to marry her if she falls sick."

Mrs Bright stood up to leave and Max replied, "Don't worry mom, I will see her before retiring to my room. Good night mom."

"Goodnight" Mrs Bright replied and she left Max that continued eating his food.

When Max was thru eating, he stood up and asked the maid to go served him another food that he would take to Anita.

"Ensure that the food is hot and not cold" Max said to their maid.

"Okay," The maid replied and left to the kitchen and did just how she was told, And she returned back with a hot tray of meal covered specially for Anita.

Max thanked her, and stood up carrying the tray of food and he went upstairs to Anita's room.

Knock knock!, Max stood knocking at Anita's room door and she questioned him, "Who's there?."

Anita has being sobbing since she returned from Patrick's company. As despite her offering herself to Patrick, to become as his second wife, Patrick still refused her and it pained her to the core so much, as she knew she had gathered a lot of courage to said that to Patrick.

"A whole me, A billionaire business tycoon daughter is begging Patrick Scott and he rejected me, for who exactly?," Anita asked herself just as she sobbed..

"I really do love Patrick. I want him, I want to be his wife, why does he not want me or see that I truly loves him?. Who's the lady Patrick is even choosing over me?. What does she look like?. Am I not pretty enough for him?," Anita continued to asked herself as she grabbed on her bed pillow tightly to her chest and she cried.

Just then she heard a heavy knocking of the maid asking her to come joined her parents and siblings for dinner then but she refused and didn't answered to the maids called.

Then later the maid returned back with her food but she refused to ate it and rather screamed at the maid, While the maid went back to gave her feedback to her mother. But obviously neither did her mother nor father came, as they assumed probably she failed in the auditioning that she went too. As to why she was angry.

Now Anita heard another knocking on her room door and the person knocking tried to opened the door, which she had locked from inside and she gasped.

Max knocked harder this time calling out Anita's name and as Anita heard her brother's voice, she stood up immediately and went to the door to knew why he was knocking.

Anita knew Max must have heard she hasn't eaten, so she approached the door and pulled it opened, surprising to saw Max standing with a tray of food in his both hands and he stared at her sadly.

"Can I come in?" Max asked her and Anita replied,

"Sure you can come in."

Anita left the way as she walked went into her room and sat on her bed, while Max dragged a seat closer to her bed and sat down facing her and he placed the food on her bed closer to Anita, and questioned her, "Why are you looking sad like this?. Don't tell me is because of Patrick."

Anita didn't replied to Max as she knew she never told anyone she was going to saw Patrick again.

"Ain't you going to answer me?," Max asked her, as he was also liked their mother, impatient and a no-nonsense human.

"Did I tell you it was Patrick?" Anita asked him rather.

"Don't lie to me Anita. I saw you at his company today. What did you went there doing if I may asked?. Going to beg him?" Max huffed staring directly at Anita.

Anita gulped as she couldn't belief anyone saw her there at Patrick's company and she quickly asked him, "Hope you didn't told father or mother?"

"...No I didn't" Max replied her frowning and Anita sighed as she knew if Max had told her parents, they might hurt Patrick behind her back or grounded her and she didn't wanted Patrick hurt, even though Patrick choosed another woman over her, she still didn't wanted him hurt, but safe.

"You need to try and forget about Patrick and move on. I see nothing special about that dude, As Matthew is far more better than him" Max spoked and Anita just looked at him as she didn't said anything..

"You have to try and forget him sis, As you deserve someone better. Since Patrick already has a child, Is best you try to move on too. Anyways, I brought your food and if you don't have the strength to eat it, I can feed you rather if you want," Max winked at Anita as he stretched forward and open the tray of food covered. Taking a spoonful, Max extended his right hand holding the spoonful with food, closer to Anita's mouth, and said, "Open!."

Anita just smiled at her elder brother, and she opened her mouth for him to feed her and collected the food, as she was obviously hungry.

Anita finally collected the spoon from Max hand, and she spoked, "Don't stress, I can feed myself." Then Anita started eating her food by herself.

"Mom said the wedding date with Matthew will be fixed soon, so be expecting the news this weekend, As I think you should still try and give Matthew a chance since he loves you. You might not love him at first, but I think with time, you will grow to love him back," Max advised her just as he stood up to leave and waiting to heard Anita's replied.

"Fine I will think about it," Anita responded and Max curt, "Don't think about it, just give his love a chance, simple."

"Okay fine, have heard you. Thanks for not telling Mom or Dad where I went too," Anita thanked him, while eating her food gently.

"It okay sis, you can always count on me. I don't like how you're looking sad, and I cannot add to it either. Do take care, I will be leaving now to my room as am tired, goodnight.." Max stretched his hands up as he bent to stretched his waist and shoulder as well and he closed the door from behind him and went to his bedroom.

*****

Chris had no choice than to agreed on the date Mella requested of him. He really needed to saw Tina before Patrick would first him and travelled to the village and more likely married Tina and brought her to live with him in the city.

Chris knew once Patrick married and brought Tina along with him, the security guards would be tight in Patrick's mansion, And he would never be abled to saw Tina again. So Chris accepted Mella's proposal, as he knew with Mella's help he wouldn't loss his new position in her father's company.

Chris prepared to go see Mella, and thought he should first called Tina on phone to knew how she was doing, as Tina too had not called him since the previous time she lied to him about her phone missing.

Chris knew Tina must be battling with the guilt of cheating on him and she might also be contemplating on going back to Patrick, or giving Patrick a chance rather. So Chris dialed her phone number and it rang.

Tina saw the caller was Chris, as she hadn't given Patrick her number when he asked her of it, and Patrick also forgot to asked her again when he was finally going back to the city.

Tina frowned seeing that it was actually Chris calling her as she really wanted to spoked with Patrick, as it had been weeks since she lastly saw Patrick.

Tina missed Patrick and she missed his sexy hoarse voice, and how he touched her and made love to her.

Tina wanted to heard from Patrick and not Chris again as in short she longed to heard Patrick's voice on phone, and seeing that Chris was the one calling, she didn't picked up his call on the first call.

Tina had joined other social media account apart from the one she used to message and video call with Chris, as her friends at work advised her to joined that she was very beautiful and might become a Celebrity online, brand ambassador if some companies saw her and how beautiful she looked, they might want to sign her.

Tina was never a dull person, so she downloaded the app and joined the netizens. She created her own online profile and just by posting herself wearing one of the skimpy dress Cindy (Patrick sister) had given to her, Tina got more than five thousand likes, and  5000plus followers in just one day.

Tina didn't knew Patrick user name online, so she didn't got to saw Patrick as she searched him online and she became sad.

Her friend (Stella) at her seamstress workshop asked her, "What's the problem Tina?."

Tina told Stella "I just missed Patrick," and Stella advised Tina to searched for Patrick's full name rather instead of just searching for the word 'Patrick', as many other people that were bearing the same name would also pop on.
