Chapter 64
Quinn
After the shareholders meeting at Ana’s company, I went to my company to meet loads of work piled up for me.
“How did all these works pile up here again in short a short period? I groaned as I threw myself lazily into my seat,
I still wonder how you became a billionaire with such a lazy attitude. Even Ana’s more hardworking than you are, no offense. Fleur’s voice spoke from the door as he let himself in and settled on the sofa inside my office.
You have a bad attitude of not knocking on the door before letting yourself in, you know that right?” I asked with a frown but he ignored me and opened the refrigerator in my office for a boule of water instead.
“Why are you even following me everywhere I go? Don’t you have a life of your own?” I asked with irritation as he gulped down the liquid contents of the water loudly.
“You made me have no life of my own when you employed me as your assistant. And these days I wonder which work I do more, the work of being your friend or the work of being your assistant.” He said making gestures with his hand
“I should probably fire you then since you have confessed it yourself that you are not of any use to me except following me about,” I said but he shrugged
“We both know that you can’t do that, so chill” He was right. I couldn’t dare relieve my y friend from work, not only because he was my friend but because he was the only one I could discuss personal matters with
I’d be eaten up by my thoughts if I did that.
I didn’t say another word and glared at him.
Tm starving by the way, what are we going to have for lunch? You took all the time in a meeting with Ana, I wonder what you both were discussing” He said with a thoughtful expression but I ignored him
“I’m going to get us food, I know you’ll eat whatever I get so wait for me and finish up your work while you wait. He ordered and I wondered if he was my employer or if it was the other way round.
I looked at the large pile of paperwork and a thought came to mind while I stared at it. I quickly finished up with the paperwork and while I was on the last set, Fleur came back with some freshly made food from Ana’s restaurant
“Since you can’t get her off your mind, you can eat her food as well. He teased before taking a bite
questions.
We both ate in silence and while we were done, he started with his endless q
“So, you were saying something about a business with Ana after your call with your partners yesterday, you said we would discuss it today. about?” He asked interested in the gist.
What is it
“Nothing fancy, just my partners acknowledging the good work I did at Roberts conference and they asked that I do the same at their upcoming event outside the country and they want me to work with Ana too. So we’re going to be colleagues again” I said with visible excitement.
Fleur tipped the corners of his lips down and shook his head in a pathetic way that made me want to punch his lips
“Still can’t believe that you’re this excited over a woman you once didn’t want to set your eyes on. So this is the reason you’ve been jumping all over the place! You’re Enished, man.” Fleur’s mouth was poisonous.
“Thank you for your kind word. Fleur. I appreciate.” I said sarcastically and he smiled sweetly in response.
Deep down, I wanted to squeeze his lips so that he wouldn’t be able to speak again but I would be doing myself then.
“Take me to my cousin’s place,” I said standing up from my seat and he asked with an arched brow
“Which cousin!”
“Which other unet Apart from Junior’s mom?” I asked exhausted at the thought of facing Junior again after my ordeal with him at his school
“Hro, are you sure you’re thinking right? Do you want to visit that little demon again? After all, he put you through that day?” He asked amidu laughter
fes, just take me to his house, no inore questions, I said, giving him a light slap on his cheek and walking out of the office.
“Did you forget your left kidney with him? Or he left his, cause that’s the only reason why you’ll be walking into a leotard’s den in broad daylight,” Fleur said thoughtfully as he reversed the car

Chapter 61
I paid him no heed, rested my back lazily against the soft chair, rested my elbow on the car door and covered my face with the hand I placed on the
car door.
“We’re here. Good luck with the devil. He said as he turned off the car.
I barely got out of the car when Junior rushed to the car to check who it was. He gave me that creepy sweet smile again when he saw me and I cringed at this
“Stop it” I screamed scared for my life.
“Relax. I’m not going to hurt you.” He said, still smiling.
I didn’t trust his words but saying that to him would only make him want to hurt me even more.
“Who else is in the car? He asked, peering inside the car doors.
“Gotcha!” He screamed happily when he saw Fleur trying to reduce his height to hide from him
Fleur sighed with frustration at this and opened the car door shamefully.
I don’t have time for your silly words child,” Fleur said, avoiding Junior’s gaze.
“Calm down, I don’t bite you silly.” He said with an assuring smile but I knew that Fleur didn’t believe a word.
This was
was not the first time Junior made a promise like that and broke it,
Juniort! Whose car is it?” His mother enquired from the mansion and he responded with a scream as well.
“It’s my favorite Uncle, Quinn and his friend Fleur!!
“Bring them in at once.” She replied. It seemed she was busy in the kitchen cause I heard plates clattering as she spoke.
“When did I become your favorite Uncle! I didn’t know we even had such a relationship.” I said with a suspicious look but he shrugged.
let out
“You’re the only Uncle who visits and you’re pretty much the only Uncle I know so I guess you pass for my favorite Uncle” He said and Fleur let a mocking laughter that was directed at me.
Bold of me to think that he picked me as a favorite Uncle when he never met any other Uncle
The rest must’ve heard of how hectic it was being with him and they decided to rid themselves of such work
We went inside and met my cousin who ran out of the kitchen to greet us and ran back inside to continue preparing lunch.
She refused to get a cook, claiming that she would be lazy if she had someone doing all the cooking for her and since it was only her and Junior in the house, she could handle some cooking but she looked like she survived a major attack in a forest from the way she was looking when she ran
out to meet us
“Let’s go to my room, I have something cool to show you two. He said dragging us to his room
“Why don’t you help your mom in the kitchen ch Fleur asked with a frown but he shrugged again
“She says I never do anything right with her. It’s either I cut the pepper too big or I ground the pepper is too smooth. I figured that that’s not my thing”
I laughed at his words and squatted to his height
“You said
I just now that I am your favorite Uncle right” I asked and he nodded, looking at me suspiciously
‘Good. I need you to do something for me I said and Fleur looked at me with an arched brow
