CHAPTER 117: REGRETS

“ You mean your dad?” His friend said looking at him, “Who else would I be referring to ..”

“Your father isn’t old, and I think you should go with the blue shirt," he said pointing towards the shirt, it was quite expensive.

“ I like the texture but the color won’t suit me well, I would prefer to stick to white !” “ You are the right man anyways, all the best !”

They both laughed at the joke knowing fully well Ifti's son wasn’t the type to work, “ hello handsome!” A young feminine voice called out to him, “Hi!”

His friend knew he shouldn’t speak without being spoken to, so he excused himself just so the person could discuss “And who are you ?”

“ Your greatest pleasure , come with me for lunch !” “ Am I allowed to say no “Not exactly !” “Okay then give me a minute to get myself sorted out!”
He said to the lady who waited outside for him while his friend helped him with his shopping bag …

“ Whenever you decide to come down, please make sure to check in with me before anything else !”

Ifti shouted at the top of his voice to his son, who is still sprawled in bed with another woman. The lady he met at the shopping mall, they had been getting along with each other.

He smuggled her in last night, not wanting his dad to know he brought in a woman with the housekeeper covering for him. He rolled out of bed still sleepy, “ I guess today is Monday, you should get going to work !”

He said to the still sleepy lady, “ I don’t have a job, why should you ever work, your father is a billionaire.

She said snorting, “You can’t possibly blame me, this is the story of my life, please get dressed will drop you off wherever you are heading to !” The lady frowned knowing she might not get easy access to him if she let him go this easily,
She stood up, still, walked slowly towards him, and then hugged him from the back, smiling at him. “Why don’t I stay here till you get back, I promise to avoid your dad and your maid can serve me !”

He got irritated by the words she spilled out, “Do not call her a maid, she is not a maid okay, so get dressed and get the hell out of my house I don’t want to see you here by the time I get back”

He left her standing in total shock as he made his way into the washroom angrily. He hated it when the housekeeper was being referred to as a maid, thirty minutes later, he stepped out to meet an empty room.

He sighed! And got dressed for the day, he walked over to greet the housekeeper, “Good morning ma'am “ “Oh, my you look good, your father would be so proud of you, you look just like your father !”

“Thanks, ma'am, I may not be able to sit down for breakfast but I promise to make it early for dinner, okay!”

He rushed out of the house with the intention to visit the restaurant not far from the company. Go get himself a quick coffee, just so he doesn’t run late.

The drive down was a quick one. Parking at the parking lot, he rushed down and headed toward the restaurant.

Upon getting there he made his way toward the door, opening it startled Tisa who was also rushing to get to the office.

With a cup of coffee in her hand, which slipped and poured on his T-shirt.. “ Oh my goodness I am so sorry, please forgive me !”

Tisa said bringing out her handkerchief to clean off the liquid, but he was focused on her face. He had never seen a woman look so beautiful without makeup, “ it's fine okay, there is no need, the damage has been done.

“Oh I am so sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking, is there anything I can do, let’s at least buy you a new shirt !” He raised an eyebrow while sizing her up, “You want to buy me a 10$ shirt!?”

Tisa opened her eyes wide, not that she couldn’t afford such, that would only eat deep into her savings for her family “ I can spare that!”

She said looking at her time she was extremely late, bringing out her card, she extended her hand to him, "Please call me I will meet up with you I promise but I have to get back to work now " She excused herself as she made her way down to the company in a hurry.

“ what’s going on, from one trouble to the other, how do I get myself stuck in something like this!”

She kept speaking to herself as she made her way into the company, No one paid her any attention as everyone kept murmuring.

Tisa, being curious, asked her next desk colleague.. “ Nia, what’s going on?” “ you don’t know what’s going on?”

Tisa nodded her head saying no, “Well the boss’s son will be working from today and rumor has it he has the features of his father and is even cuter !”

“ Oh, I see, “ Tisa said, looking away to start her job for the day. She had a lot of prompts to read today just so she could divide the more important ones from the less important ones.

Before they are forwarded to the boss’s secretary for confirmation the editing department can start their job.

She was so busy with her work that she didn’t see Ifti's son walked past her department which made all the females drool over him..

Her mind is deep in thought of how she would be able to raise 10$ for a T-shirt in case the man calls. The rest of the day was a down one for Tisa while, on
the other hand, Ifti's son only sat down all day doing nothing.
