"You can use this one, he said as he handed him the handkerchief. She picked it and used it to wipe away the tears.

"Hop in Mike, let's go inside, you can't just stay outside" she said.She called him to the car.

The car parked and Mish and Mike come out, she went ahead and gave the envelope to his dad who was now sitting outside. They proceeded to the house, "Welcome" she said. She signaled one of the maid to bring them something to eat.

"Where is Ivana ? I tried calling her but she waa not picking" Mike asked her.

"Don't even ask me about that woman, l don't need her"

"What do you mean Mish is is your sister and..

"Will you please stop it,l don't want to hear you mentioning her name Mike"

When they reached the office Ivana had dozed of in the car out of boredom. "Hey love, we are here, come out now." Paul said as she opened the car door for her.

"Thank you" she hopped out of the car as she stretched her had. Paul entertwained their hands as they went through his private elevetor.

"Hubby, l can't just lazy around as l watch you work. I want you to assignme work l want to be of productive today" She said  to him when they reached the office.

"Are you sure?,  He looked at his wife with eyes filled with concern and love. "Then l think my work will be easier today"

"I think this will be enough l don't want to overwork you. You can go through this before l sign, they are partnership papers of several companies who want to partner with us" he said as he placed several files on the table she was sitting by.

Paul was so happy when he saw her full concentrated on the files. He kept on taking glazes and smiles to himself. 

"Love, l have a meeting with board of directors, remember to take rest don't overwork yourself" 

"Okay" she said without looking at him.

"Hey love, l am talking to you" he moved to where she was then leaned to kiss her on the forehead to capture her attention. " Hey, he holded her chin so that she can maintain eye contact with him.

His secretary entered, they were so busy to notice his entry. The secretary cleared his throat in the moment when Paul was leaning in for a kiss. Paul frowned and turned to look at him. Ivana bowed her head as she pretended to be busy with the files.

"Why didn't you knock, you spoiled my moment," he with half smile on his face. "Carry that laptop"

"I am sorry boss, lam sorry once again but the meeting is about to start" he said as he picked the laptop and exited the office.

"Love, l will go ahead now, if you get tired take some rest" he picked his coat and fixed his tie and left.

.....

The meeting started with the secretary reading the minutes of the previous meeting. 

"My main point of calling for this meeting was to ask you, if any one of you will have a problem of us partnering with the Luhyahood dream company?" he asked. Then continued.

"I think it's a good idea because, now that it is collapsing we will have an upper hand in terms of shares"

"Hey Mr Wechuli, how can we partner with a company that is already down?"

"The company is linked to your mother, are you doing this because of your mother"

"Exactly my point,when your mother resume it's office the company collapsed in the same day. I think it's a bad idea for me"

The board of members aired different views about Paul's suggestion and the end, they voted no. No one was ready to support him.

MUM I THINK YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR YOUR FRIEND EVA FOR HELP. He sent the text to his mother after the meeting was adjourned.

When he arrived in his office, Ivana was already done with reviewing the files. She was busy on her phone when he entered. She was checking out the burial  progress of her Aunty.

"What, are you already done with it, how first? I think l will have to employ you as my personal assistant."

"Yes, these one here, are the files that need to be rejected though you have to go through. Then these are to be approved" she showed him.

"I am so proud of you wifey,will you consider my offer?l want to hire you as my personal assistant,l am serious about it love"

"Haha Paul stop pulling my leg, will you? We can't work in one company, one roof you that. It will be hand for us to act professional. Especially you?" She pointed at him then smiled.

He winked at her then said,"l know that but l will try love."

"Let me think about it, l think you should ask me again after Aunt Elizabeth's burial"

"Talking of which the autopsy results are out,have you seen the news?, It turns out the autopsy is positive" Paul said.

"Yeah l have just checked it now but l am not believing it. Aunt was not suicidal,she has gone through so much with my uncle but she never took her own life. I remember there was a time when l was in my third year study in University, my uncle wanted to divorce her."

"Divorce? Paul groused.

"Yes, he wanted to divorce her because he hand fallen in love with a certain widow. During that time she was so strong as she fought for her marriage until she calmed the storm"

Paul stared at her with his eyes wide open. He seemed surprised with what Ivana was telling him. "Do you know that woman?" He asked.

"No, that time l was still in school,my dad refused to let me know. But anyway my uncle never divorced her. So my question is if she didn't take her life that time,what else could make her take her life now. I think someone else was involved.
