Love Hate Relationship by Goodness Shadrach (good books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📖

Oh yes, a thousand times yes, she wanted to shout "yes you do" she replied with the same smile before looking at the rest "he loves it when I achieve things with my strength and should he help even in the littlest way, he will find a way to task me for me it, he just wants to make me that good."

Michael chuckled, he knew she was referring to the clothes he had asked her to pay the money back, his wife really knows how to twist words and you will think it's a happy one "that's right" he agreed.

The other men gave a disappointed sigh "it's okay then."

Sasha felt her heart missed a beat, is she going to lose her dream contract just like that? "But it's still far though, maybe by next year when she is free, if there is still a spot left, then I will give her the copy I have" she heard Michael said and turned to look at him but he didn't even gift her a glance.

The other men eyes lit up in joy "that's good, that's very good. We hope it goes like that" Jack said nodding and smiling happily.

Michael offered a faint smile and withdrew from the discussion again. Sasha spent the rest of the hour thinking what his words mean, is he giving her the contract or not? She can't even tell.

Jones paid for their lunch later and said goodbye to the women before leaving the restaurant with Michael and the rest. Sasha and her girls returned back to work, it has already passed the time for lunch break, but as the boss, who will question her? Agatha, Janet, Agnes and Marilyn were so happy, they can't believe that not only did they sit with the billionaire but also with Jack and Jones, it was a miracle and they couldn't stop thanking Sasha for it, now because of their friend, they dined with big shots.

A month later, Gary dropped Michael in front of one of his luxurious hotels, he stepped out of the car and opened the door for him "stay out of sight" Michael told him.

"Yes boss" he answered.

Michael walked into the hotel, he was dressed in a white suit, his hair was combed all back and looking wet like he has just stepped out of the shower. He walked into the restaurant and searched around the whole place, before settling on a redhead. He walked up to her.

The woman saw him and stood up with a smile "I was beginning to wonder if you are really going to come."

Michael took a seat opposite her and she sat down after him "go straight to the point."

"Don't be such a stern looking face man, this is a dinner. Let's order for something first, shall we?" She signalled for a waiter who arrived in seconds "get me my reservation please" the waiter bowed and left.

The waiter returned with a bottle of wine with two glasses and a wine opener, he dropped them on the table, bowed before leaving again. The lady picked up the wine and handed it to Michael "it's Robert Mondavi, your favourite" she smiled. Michael looked at the drink in her hand but didn't take it from her. The woman sighed and opened the wine herself with the wine opener, she poured half a glass for herself and also for Michael. She picked up her glass and took a sip, she let the drink settle on her taste bud before swallowing "mm, a fine wine, loved by a fine man."

Michael sat opposite her, watching her every action without uttering a single word "whenever I see this drink I always wondered why you love it so much but anytime I taste it, I always have my answer" she smiled to him again "dinner?" She titled her head to her left.

Michael took a deep breath "why did you call me out her Amanda?"

"Temper, is it wrong to want to see an old lover after returning to the country?" She raised her eyebrow. 

"I never dated you."

"But I have always wanted you too. I was surprised when I received the news that you are married. I wanted to return for your wedding but I was too busy. Calling you out here and offering you your favourite wine is a compensation for missing your wedding."

"I had too many guests I didn't even notice you weren't there" Michael replied coldly.

Amanda smiled and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, ever since she had seen this man in a banquet, she had given her heart to him but he had never noticed her, he knew her name because five years ago, she helped him win a contract that made him who he is today, she thought he might acknowledge and thank her then, at least by dating her but the man attitude never changed, he never acts as if she is around. She had tried threatening him with the contract then unless he sleeps with her, she had gone to his hotel room and stripped her self naked.

He didn't even behave as if he was looking at a naked woman and so she resulted to threaten him but to her utter dismay, he brought out the contract and handed it to her, she can still remember his words then 'if it's because of this contract, then you don't need to shame yourself to this extent, I will willingly give it back to you. I will rather I lose this contract than taint myself with your body' never in her life have she been insulted like that.

She had walked away with the contract but the company ended up calling him themselves and firing her for wanting them to loose a gem like Michael Brown. She had been heartbroken but not because of losing such a life changing contract but that even when naked, she was rejected by this man. She had coped up when they was no news of him dating any girl and had consoled herself that no other girl owns him only to be shocked last month with the news of his wedding.
