Chapter 90
At that moment, the door opened, it was Fleur. I quickly shifted away from Quinn because from the look in Fleur’s eyes, he had definitely misunderstood. He was grinning at us with a mischievous look
“Oh, my. It seemed I interrupted some Ahem! Things going on. He coughed
“I actually came to do some things, but since you guys seem busy. Ell come back later.” He said.
please. It’s not what you think, he was just helping me out with something. You don’t have to go, I’m done here, by the way. I’ll take my leave.” I said, hurriedly picking up my bag and leaving the office.
As I drove to my office, I couldn’t believe how his little touches could make me feel that way.
“Come on, Ana, he was just removing some leaves. Look at you!” My mind screamed at m
I got to my office, and met Terry sitting beside Ivy, who was deep asleep and was snoring lightly. I shook my head at this, this girl had eatery dishes meant for three people, and here she was sleeping. I was grateful that she at least kept the office clean.
1 looked at them both, imagining how good they looked together. Then, I remembered that I had done the same thing with Fleur. What if a love triangle blooms between them, that would be so cute.
“Ana” He called softly. But I was too engrossed in my imaginations. I snapped out of it. I was here matching other people in my head.
“Terry” I replied as I walked towards him.
“I came to check up on
on you, and couldn’t find you at work” He said.
“Oh, that, I went to thank Quinn, as you had insisted. I mumbled.
“I see.” He said.
“Im so thankful for everything. I would do anything for you, if you asked me to supply food free for one week. And I’ll wash your
clothes, do everything to show my appreciation.” I said, looking at tim.gratefully.

I grinned
“Dids

t call me a pig? Guess what, too, I don’t kiss Hyenas.” He seethed. I had succeeded in making him pissed.
“Did you meet her sleeping?” I asked, looking at Ivy.
“Yeah, yeah. And I decided not to disturb her, she seemed tired.” He replied.
I looked at her and shook my head. She said she would like to stay back at the company, who I did.
“Can you leave now? I want to work.” I said to Terry.

“Go on, continue working. I’ll just sit here” He answered, stretching his legs.
I gritted my teeth at this, and decided to focus on working. He was intentionally trying to get on my nerves, too. “How did you manage to convince the shareholders?” I asked, looking up from work. He paused for a moment. “Actually, when I heard the news, I intended to call the shareholders. Fortunately, Quinn had the same Idea, he called me and told me to gather the shareholders at the restaurant. I did so and we had the meeting. Some wanted to oppose, but we had managed to convince them that this would pass and everything would be back to normal. He explained.

“Why do you think Maya would be after me? I haven’t even met her beft
“T, I’m wondering why she did that. What her motive was. Hut she didn’t even appear despite everything. Somebody was doing the dirty work for her. He analyzed
I had thought of this too.

Hut one thing I know is that she would strike again.” He deadpanned. I knew this too, I had to be prepared for what she would throw next.

The next few days were spent working and working. I decided to take a break and go on an outing with Moon, just the two o spending much time together lately
Mtum let’s go to the beach.” He said as he hopped into the car.
“Alright, the beach it is then”
I picked normal clothes in addition to the beach clothes we were putting on.
I wore a matching crop top and bum shorts with sea designs on it. Moon was on a short and a shirt with the same designs.
We got to the beach and land under the tents as we sipped coconut water with
“Come mummy let’s go play. He giggled, pulling my hands. We built sand castles, played beach ball games and chased each other. All through he was laughing, giggling and seemingly enjoying the moment. I couldn’t ask for more.
We got some food and sat under the tent to eat it.
“Moon, if there’s anything bothering you make sure to always tell mommy, I promise to be there for you
Yes mommy, pinky promise.” He said, stretching out his pinky fingers which I locked with mine.
“Mammy.” He called.
“Yes love, what is it!”
you. Do you promise?” I asked.
“Can you tell me what my dad looks like! I know he’s dead, and his pictures are gone. So can I at least know what he looks like?” He asked, looking at me soulfully.
My heart skipped at this question. He was already asking for his father. I had told him that his father was dead, and his picture got stolen. He was a smart kid, he didn’t mention anything about his father as he seemed to notice that it bothers me. But he asked for him today, which means he had been keeping it in.
“Your father is you and you’re your father.” I said
“What do mean mommy?” He asked, his brows knitted, confused. ”
“Let’s just say, you are the spitting image of your father.” I said, ruffling his head.
“Oww. I understand now. This reminds me of Mr. Quinn. We’re not even related, and I look like him sometimes. A kid in school once Quinn was my father. He said, giggling.

It was funny to him, but it wasn’t to me. I felt my heart beat faster. Just then, I received a call from Ivy.
“Hey sleepy head.”
“Hello Ana, it’s Maya. She struck again. This time, it has something to do with the shareholders. I’ll send you something. Watch it and try e over immediately. This is even worse than the last one.” She explained.

“Okay, I’ll be there.” I said before the line went off.
I played the video she sent it was news going on. The headlines read;
“Ana Beverly allegedly deceived her shareholders to buy shares, after which she decided to start up a new different non profiting business than what she promised.”
