“What is this”
I was surfing through a file on the
e computer when I felt his presence beside me.
A momem ago, I was
I tilt my head a bit, and then I am looking into his eyes and then a smile that left off on its own, which I didn’t see coming
He then asked for my hand
“My
and?” I was skeptical, but then I let go of the computer and gave my hand to him, still looking unsure of what his intentions were.
out it came out with one of the
He held my hand so softly, caressing it a little, then he dipped his hand into his pocket and when he brought them out it can tindest, most beautiful rings 1 have ever seen
I gasped as 1 looked at the ring in his hand as he slowly slid into my ring finger.
“What is this” Unsure of what to say next as he has taken me completely y unawares, I said.
The ring is so tiny and shiny, it has a dazzling brilliant diamond cut at the center, set in a delicate shimmering band with a white gold to enhance the diamond’s natural spark
It made my hand so full and even when I knew the engagement was all fake, it made me a little teary
Thuvivo….” He let go of my hand and I stared at it with all delicateness, it felt so natural in my hand, so soft and yet looked heavy
“If we are getting engaged. I don’t think you have to go around without a ring, and so I thought….”
He didn’t need to say much, this was so sweet that I didn’t know what to say again.
When my eyes moved away from the ring that adored my finger. I looked at him and felt a strong blush push me so hard.
His eyes were everywhere but on me, it made him secin so smallish even though I can’t compare my size with him.
Shaking my head, I zoned off from where my head had been, it was a fake engagement remember I don’t have to get so emotional about a ring.
“That is so thoughtful of you. I never thought that we needed a ring because you know. I cleared my throat, I didn’t need to say much, as he understood right where I was coming from.
“Yes, but I thought with that ring, you don’t have to say much to anyone because they can see you are engaged.” He said.
Inodded, swallowing hard as my eyes were back to the beautiful diamond ring
I remembered my engagement with Eric, he never bothered to buy me a ring.
“We will be getting married soon, and you will have your wedding band, which will look so good on your finger. He had said to me.
I never thought it was anything. I never thought I needed one anyway, but right now, this is making me so very emotional and the softness that comes with it was not something I was expecting.
“It’s beautiful.” Caressing my hand on it, I looked up and said to him,
He gave me a light smile before walking back to where he had been seated before.
His eyes were now on the system as he surfed through it, but my eyes were not leaving his face.
What the hell is wrong with me? I need to concentrate.
“Umm, have you found anything?” I asked after the silence in the room became deafening.
He looked away from the computer and nodded.
“He has a paper company in LA which I know he used to embezzle money according
He stood and walked to my side, showing me exactly what he had found
g to this record.”
The sweet scent that emanates from him has my head woozy around, I am trying to concentrate on what he is showing me.
“Do you think we should report this alongside the evidence! He is so stupid, as this is all connected to him.”
I laughed a little, Eric always thought he was a businessman and I guess Lused to think the same too, but he is so stupid and this shows.

“He is going to have a financial crime report case to handle for at least two weeks, that is a lot of time for him to feel the heat”
He threw a smile at me, his face was inches barely from my face and I found myself smiling too.
Of course, at the prospect of what Eric will go through when he starts getting investigated.
“I badly want to see how he will get away from this one, not the first one that made a headline, and he was able to control.
He nodded, walking back to his seat.
He crossed his
his legs together as his eyes were back to the screen in front of him.
I studied his form
He has a straight posture that even when his full attention is on something, his gaze towards it is so intense that you feel like you know exactly what he is staring at
The intensity he used to look at something like it was precious yet the most stupid thing he had ever laid his eyes of
There

were so many things I didn’t know about him, so much has been said about him, yet I have no idea of who he was.
It was always words that were so harsh, words that no one should be able to hear of others that I know he possesses.
“Did 1 do something?”
I raise my head to see that I have been staring at him so intently, his legs are crossed together as he has ridden his shirt up arms are on full display.
Clearing my throat, I looked away immediately, trying to fix my eyes elsewhere but on those arms.
“1. I was just thinking, “I don’t know much about you, apart from how wicked and ruthless you are to your brother.”
I said the last bit and when he let out a lau
new that was the reason.
His eyes are back to the computer as I know he had pushed off the question I just asked
and his arms, his strong
“There is nothing much to know about me.” He finally said and when I looked at him, his eyes were still fully loaded there, but even at that gaze there was somethi
ng sad that was written in them.
Something sad screams from his eyes, I wonder what that could be
