Chapter 67
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN. Parking the red Ferrari in front of the big building, Teresa alighted looking elegant in her red skirt and crisp white shirt neatly tucked away in her skirt and a pair of white heels to match Anyone who saw her could only gasp as she screamed of elegance all over her. With her head held high, she walked towards the elevator going to her father's office. Onlookers could roughly guess who she was because the resemblance between her and Damian was clear. "She looks so pretty" one of the receptionists said as she walked past them," she could compete and become an international model" she added sizing her from head to toe. "You are right, she is elegant," the other one replied. Teresa knew exactly the kind of respect she commanded and how everyone was ogling at her but she was past caring about that.
Sighing softly, she pressed the elevator button and waited patiently for it to open and when it did, she opened her eyes wide in amazement. The boy inside had his lips stuck on another lady and they seemed not to notice her until she gave a light cough
"You should get a room or wait till you are off work" she sneered and the two of them quickly disengaged from each other, she could see the embarrassment on their faces "Sorry" the lady said and quickly rushed out, she was one of the receptionists
"Sorry you had to see that" he said and she turned towards him, she accessed him for a while and nodded her head. He was just as tall as her brother and just as handsome but he was flirty, "You do not need to apologize to me, it's your life you should live it how you want" she answered and smirked at him before walking out.
He was dazzled at her for a while, she was pretty and also tall. He wondered who she was.
Hello dad" Teresa greeted smiling as she walked into his office, it was just as superb as it was years ago.
"Hey baby, you didn't tell me you were coming," he replied, kissing his daughter's forehead.
"I wanted to surprise you dad".
"And you sure did, tea or coffee?".
"I will pass" They fell on talking when his office door opened and the man she saw earlier in the elevator entered.
"Ethan, you are here" Damian said as he turned to him.
"Good morning sir" Ethan answered, beaming all smiles. "Ethan the flirt" she muttered under her breath, then their eyes met. He was surprised to see her in the CEO's office
"Ethan, meet my daughter Teresa. She just came back to the country and Terry, this is Ethan, my new assistant".
"I must say you have a beautiful daughter sir" he replied, eyeing her and she rolled her eyes at him." It seems Ethan is well acquainted with the workers here?am I right?" She had a mocking look on her face. "You seem to have gotten the wrong impression about me ma'am".
Damian kept looking at the two of them and smiled, they just met and they were already bickering. "Baby, I have an important meeting so Ethan will show you round the office" he said standing up, even after so many years he still looked as handsome as he was and he still had that kingly aura emanating from him. "If you don't find my pants down by the time you get back" she muttered to herself and faked a smile.
"Take care dad". "Take care sir"
He kissed his daughter goodbye and patted Ethan's shoulders before he walked out of the office.
"I think I should get going too" she stood up and picked up her limited edition bag but he stood in her way.

"Your father asked me to take care of you, I should show you around".
She scoffed, folding her hands across her chest, "I think your lover is waiting for you, you should go finish what you started". He smiled and she noticed he had a dimple on his left cheek, what a handsome flirt.
"I can assure you that is not what you are supposed to see".
"I was supposed to see more of your shameless attitude?" She asked and he smiled.
"Just forget that, let's have a fresh start," he said and extended his hand for a shake. "You wish" she smirked and walked off, Ethan was smiling after her.
"May I come in?" A tiny voice asked from the door and Cody looked up, it was Amy and she had a bright smile on her face. She was always the cheerful one who could light up everywhere. "Come on in Amy, why would you even ask?" Cody replied standing up to hug her. "You have really become a CEO of your own company, your fitness center is really nice". "You didn't tell me you were coming" saying that she handed Amy a glass of freshly squeezed juice. "I wanted to surprise you girl, how is work?".
"Well, I am doing the things I love," she replied, all smiles. " I should really register at your place, all the equipment are top notch". Cody chuckled, showing her neat dentition," you are so thin and you want to register?". "Come of it Cody, I have gained a lot of weight lately. I feel bloated". The two girls laughed and continued chit chatting, they had a lot to talk about and it was fun. "Let's grab lunch"
"Yes Amy, we should go to our favorite spot" Cody beamed excitedly. "Lunch on me" Amy answered and the two girls walked outside the office hand in hand and laughing about something, some of the workers were wondering who these beautiful damsels were all about.

When they got there, they met a familiar figure sitting down alone in a corner and he seemed to be lost in thought as he didn't notice them.... Damian. The four of them used to frequent this place during college and it became Cody and Damian's favorite place when they were dating but all that was in the past now.
Cody's mood slightly changed when she saw Damian and Amy quickly came to the rescue. "Why don't you order, I will just say hi to my brother"
"Okay" Cody replied and walked away. Sighing heavily, Amy walked up to Damian. He didn't notice her until she prodded him." What are you doing here all alone?" She asked, sitting opposite him. "It's been a while so I decided to come here".
She could see the sadness in his eyes and really wanted to help him but this was something he had to do on his own.
During the five years they spent outside the country, she came to know how much her brother loved Cody. She wished they would get back together but how?Cody made it clear they were done. "Should I order something for you?" He asked after a while.
"No, I am here with Cody" she answered and watched his face turn a little gloomy. "Okay, have fun" he kissed her goodbye and walked away. He loved his family a lot, especially his sisters but right now he was in pain and none of them could help him, they could only watch from afar.
"He already left, why are you still sitting here?" Cody asked, walking up to her. She wanted to say something but decided against it," nothing, let's enjoy." She replied, faking a smile but she hated seeing her brother in so much pain and right now she was praying for a miracle.
