“lvy. I’m going home. You can go home if you want to. What a day.” I sighed.
I live alone and there’s probably nothing to do. Just order some food for me, I be willing to stay here from dusk until dawn.” She giggled.

“You slept for quite a long time. I would have left you, but it’s night already, and you’ve not eaten.” She said.
“Huh? Night!” I exclaimed.
“What’s the time!” Lasked.
“Eight twenty PM. Claire made some dishes before she left. Quinn and Terry called, but I explained to them that you were tired and resting. I’ve nicked Moon to bed. All you have to do now is come cat and go back to bed” She said, rufiling my hair.
to be in bed now, granny. You didn’t have to stress yourself.” I said.
You re meant to
“You call that stress. I couldn’t go to bed, knowing you haven’t eaten, I was watching a show before I came to call you.
“Alright, let’s go down then.” I said.
I sat with granny eating my dinner as she watched the show.
“Today, I thought I saw your company’s name on the TV. But Claire removed it, saying it was news on natural disasters which she doesn’t like watching Granny said.
Oh no! She had caught onto something. I didn’t know if I should keep up the lie, or just tell her the truth.
“Is everything fine in your company? Tell
Il me.” She said, looking me in the eye.
She just saw the driver who hit her, and I was grateful she didn’t hurt herself. Telling her about this would be like adding fuel to a dying fire.
Her worry might spark and she might hurt herself in the process. It’s my business and I would handle my problems myself. “Everything is going perfectly well, I promise. Maybe it was another thing you saw.” I replied, partially lying, partially saying the truth.
She looked at me for a moment, as if trying to see if I was lying or telling the truth. I maintained a steady gaze, to avoid suspicions. She was better off without knowing. I noticed she worried a lot these days.
We sat together in silence for some minutes and she suddenly brought up the struggles we went through in the past years, trying to make a living. I was working at a cafe, barely able to meet up with the bills and she was doing everything she could to support me with the liule she got.
We’d often car stale bread I bring back from the cafe, I patted her shoulder with a smile, it was all over now.
The next day, I decided to go thank deal I decided to go see him.

From there, I would go to the office after that. I dressed in a navy–blue trouser with a crisp white blouse and black stiletto pumps. I looked in the mirror and applied a swipe of lip gloss, I didn’t bother putting on makeup. I put on a pair of diamond earrings and let down my hair. I know I looked good.
I didn’t want him to think that I dressed up all sexy to seduce him or get his attraction. As much as I was grateful to him for saving me, I didn’t want him to think that there is more to my visit.
Keeping him at arms–length has been hard enough, giving him a hint would make the works
so much harder and I wasn’t ready for any extra work
As my car got closer to Quinn’s company, I felt nervous. I remembered the time I treated his wounds and the way he looked at me, I felt my checks brat up. I took a deep breath, remembering what I had always told myself;
“Always keep your emotions in check.”
