Chapter 51
Quinn
“Don’t you think you’re pushing this too far!” Fleur asked me as he drove me to Ana’s company
“You don’t understand, do you? This is the
is the only way I can be in the same space with her and I’m going to pay, whatever the cost may be.” I replied with a firm voice but it did nothing to stop Fleur from questioning further.
“I think that this is you going too far to get her attention. I told you this before and im going to say it again. Your attitude will push her away from you” He said with a serious voice, his hands were still on the steering wheel as he spoke.
He sounded so serious and 1 wondered why he was pained by it.
“Why do I feel like you’re pissed? Did something happen with you and Ana’s assistant?” I asked, with a tease but he didn’t budge
Ana called me aside for a word and I had to leave Fleur with her assistant to settle the deal and he was acting strange after some Perhaps, he had found his one true love!
some minutes with her..
Thughed at the thought and he raised a brow at me “What’s funny!”
“I wonder if you’re pissed because you have feelings for the female huh? What’s her name again? Uhmmm, Ivy.” I said, mudging at him playfully but he wasn’t in the mood for my plays..
“No, I’m not in love with anyone. I’m just telling you what is profitable. Stay off her tracks and stop the proud attitude with her then you might stand a chance. But as things are now, I don’t think that she’s ever going to bring you close again, talk more of considering you a friend” Fleur tipped the corners of his lips downward at his last words and 1 shook my head.
“You see! That’s the thing. I’m gonna get close to her through my position as a shareholder. I’ll make sure I get the highest share in the company, Even if it means buying from other shareholders so that always be consulted on the running of the company. You just watch and see.” I said with a confident smile but Fleur shook his head.
“You’ve learned nothing. Just a spoilt brat who would pay his way through everything Fleur said and my ears stood.
“What did you just call me?” I asked with a shocked but playful expression and he tucked his head a bit low as if to block a blow he knew was
CONLILE
We played it off and his mood was back to normal again. I knew that he was worried about my relationship with Ana but he needed to calm down and trust that I knew what I was doing.

that nosy female I’m with, Veronica, showed up to turn everything sour
How could she not know that her presence would make everyone uncomfortable:
I couldn’t say anything or even query her because she came to wish Grandma Mira well and also ask for forgiveness
We got to the company and were directed to a room to wait for her. I was glad that we were early. Seeing the expression on Ana’s face when walks in would be something to die for
We sat for a while, and Fleur kept reminding me of glares to try to discourage me from what I was about to do but my mind had been made up. For how long am I going to keep going to her house to look for her? Or her restaurant I had to find a better and more reliable way sooner or later and this was it
The receptionist came in to announce that her boyfriend, Ana would be here in a couple of minutes. I nodded at her words, placing my jaw on the tip of the pyramid I formed with my hands. I couldn’t help but imagine her facial expression when she walked in
In minutes, a soft knock sounded on the door before it was swung open. Ana walked in alongside the lady I met in her house the last time I visited. Her face froze in shock as she saw me and 1 smiled at this.

Chapter 51
“Are these the shareholders you told me were waiting for me! Or is this the wrong room?” She asked Ivy who affirmed.
They’re the ones who have been waiting for you.” She replied with a straight face.
I remembered that she was all over me and excited to see me in person the other day but she didn’t seem to remember me. Or she didn’t want to act like she knew me.
I wonder why.
“We brought the paperwork and we’re ready to begin business, I said, gesturing to Fleur who brought out the documents and placed them on the
table.
From my research, I was the first person to buy shares and I was buying quite a lot so she couldn’t say no to me unless she wanted her company to go down just as it began.
“Ivy, please seule things with Fleur while I speak with Quinn,” Ana said, signaling to me to follow her.
Tre not going to get whatever it is.” She said with
“I don’t know what your plan is or what you want to achieve from this, but I can assure you that you’re n a strong lone and it stung my heart.
What happened to the lady who smiled at my words and laughed at my jokes? What went so wrong that she has refused to even hear me out?
I excused myself from her business and from going to her mansion for days so that I could make her think of me before I heard of this opening. I decided that this was the best way to see her again. Since it’s going to be a mixture of different feelings.
However, watching her reaction, I felt like no matter what I do, she’s not going to come around.
I looked at her and wanted to say something but she walked away. This was the second time she’s walked away from me when I wanted to speak and I wonder if it’s a deliberate act or a coincidence.
We did some paperwork and she left almost immediately, avoiding my gaze but i followed behind her relentlessly.
“You know that it’s safe for me to say that you’re a bad business woman right?” I asked when I caught up with
She tilted her head to look at me while she continued walking

in with her.
“No businesswoman who is just starting a company and just got her first shareholder would leave him first, I mean, no pleasantries, no handshake not even escorting me out of your office” I said feeling hurt but she replied with a scoff
“I don’t think you need all that Mr. Winfery you are known to be a lone wolf. You never needed me to escort you anywhere, not even to your car. three years ago so why the sudden care about that?” She replied and walked away.
No, she didn’t walk away, my legs stopped at her words.
