Episode 34
Theo
I woke up so early to prepare breakfast for mom to surprise her and wish her happy mothers day; I know she is still sleeping because of the fashion house she took her expert to make up.
I entered the kitchen and told the maids to exit the kitchen just for me; they behaved stubbornly at first, but I threatened them of giving each of them a sack letter, and they ran out immediately in fear.
I put on my apron and a chef cap, bringing each plate; I diced my onions, pepper, and others food items that need chopping.
I don’t wish to have tea as breakfast this morning, but cooking spicy rice, and I am sure mom will love it, this is one of her favourites meal.
I finished cooking, and I decided to package some of it to give to Lisa; I hope I am not stupid doing this for a lady I am not dating.
I set the dining table, and mom just came out at the right timing.
“Good morning mom, happy mothers day to you, and thank you for being a lovely and a good mother to me. Even most times, you are a pain in my flesh; you are still the best.”
I saw how happy my mom was, she hugged me, and we had breakfast together.
“Yummy, you are the best cook ever, just like your father; how I wish he will be back from his business trip soon but will understand if he doesn’t, work take most of our time.”
“I only heard the part of being a good cook, will save that.”
“Silly child”, we laughed.
“So what about we discussed? Should I invite her for dinner so you get to know her?”
I coughed, standing up; I said,” Oh shit, I am late for work; enjoy your breakfast, mom” I kissed her cheek and went in to get ready; that was the only means to avoid her discussion.

I drove to Lisa place, seeing her dressed already waiting outside; she looked more beautiful today; she walked towards my car and said, “I work with the time and see who is late.”
“Are you mimicking me?”
“Whatever, anyway, beautiful morning to you!” She said, stepping into the car.
“I am late because I had to celebrate with my mom; you know today is mothers day, right?” She nodded.
Arriving at the office, I handed her over the food I prepared, “I know you might be wondering why I didn’t get us breakfast; I prepared this, will check on you at the office. I have an important meeting with the board members now.”
“Oh, you mean you cooked? I hope the food doesn’t taste terrible like the way you behave!”
“I hate you right now.”
I entered my office to get prepared for the meeting and to see the partner dad talked about on the phone.
At the meeting room, everyone available gave me some respects as the CEO, and I took my seat, then a classic, beautiful lady walked in.
The meeting went as planned, and I can’t believe I will be partnering with a female CEO soon.
“Hi Theo, I am Jordan, I will get going now, and I still await the dinner you promised about.”
I got confused with her speech, or is she mistaken me to be someone else?
“What dinner are you talking about?”
“Your mom told me you have an interest in me; she even said you promised to have dinner with me once you are chanced; once we get married, we will sign the official contract of partnership.”
She might be the lady my mom was talking about; what kind of unpredictable mother do I have anyway?
“Oh, my mom got it all wrong; how can I have interest in someone I don’t even know except today being our first meet, don’t take my mother words to heart, okay?”
She smiled and said, “Your mom already told me your reaction; I like you already, so no need to hide your feelings.”
I hate when this is going right now, luckily Lisa just came, and I grabbed her close to me, forcing myself to kiss her, and when I stopped still holding her, I said, “Jordan, you see, I am not joking, I have a girlfriend, and she is right here with me, so please excuse us.”
I noticed how sad she became; the next on my list is facing the wrath of Lisa; I just kissed her approval.
Entering my office, I received a slap on my face from her, “Do you think I am a joke to you, telling her I am l your girlfriend and kissing me against my will!”
“I am sorry, it was needed; it won’t repeat itself, but why are you blushing?”
She hits me again, “Your food doesn’t taste awful like you itself”
” Thanks for the compliment, and you are damn lucky; not all girls get opportune to eat food prepared by Theo!”
“Whatever, still you are lucky Lisa decides to eat your meal.”

I couldn’t stop thinking about the unexpected kiss I had with Lisa. Am I developing genuine feelings for her?
Bella
I woke up with somebody ache and headache; I saw myself in my storage room; how did I end up here after recalling I got hit seriously by my angry mother.
Touching my head, I discovered it was a bandage; I am lucky this time they treated me.
I doubt if I will ever celebrate mothers day with my mom, who is usually upset at me.
Coming out of my room, I saw my phone smashed; I managed to do everything at home despite my condition.
While bathing, I felt little pain, “I guess everyone has gone out, leaving me behind.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I am so late today; I hope Kyle mom won’t be around to scold me for coming late.

Opening the door, all eyes on me, Kyle rushed to me asking what happened to me; I got scared seeing how angry his mom was yelling his name.
“Good morning, sir, nothing happened to me, sir.”
“I don’t believe you”, he said, looking at my face correctly; maybe he has lost his mind touching my face in his parent’s presence.
” I need to do some cleaning, sir, bye ma”, I said to the lady he called Clara on our first date.

I still felt much pains in my head like I might collapse soon; the kitchen door was opened as Miss Clara came in.
“Good day, ma.” I greeted.
“Does it hurt?” She pointed at my Injury; I thought she is nice as I told her it’s still hurting me so well.
“Good, I am glad it hurts, and I will make you feel more pains, you trying to make my Kyle feel for you” she gave me a slap at the place I have the injury.
” This is my warming; don’t seduce my Kyle,” she left.
I fell on the floor in the kitchen in severe pains, blood starting to drop from the injury that got hit by her, and tears rolled down my cheek.
“What have I done to deserve such treatment in life?”
