Chapter 100: Chapter 100

Lauren couldn't believe that, this one woman could hurt him like that, yes, he knows the truth but hearing every word coming from her mouth, hurt him, sometimes, he could be heartless but he never hurt anyone who doesn't offend him, he drink himself to stupor, making him passed out on the floor.

The next morning, he was waken with the window blinds open making the ray of sun visit his face.

Who thou...

Can you stop cursing this morning? That is Mandy's voice, he wasn't expecting her to be there and she said, she wouldn't return till three days, what is she doing there, he jumped from his bed and sit. Good morning!

Mandy greet him, with her sweet lovely voice and then bow, he smiled at her, seeing that sweet face of Mandy, gave him joy and peace.

Silly, what are you doing here?

Oh, you don't want me here? She answer with another question. Of cause, I want you, I was just surprised.

Really? She pushed hot coffee to him, that is what he really needs, he sip on it then his favorite food is right in front of him.

Hey, how did you...

Don't asked, I didn't make it myself. Lauren struggle from the bed, he needs to bathe. No, sit and eat first, the food will get cold if you decide to bathe, you know you bathe like hours. Lauren laugh at her silly joke, Leah and Mandy are too different people, Leah gave him, her body while Mandy give him joy, he sit and eat.

Mandy arrive late last night, immediately Stone place a call to her that Lauren is devastated after Leah spill the truth about everything, so she decided to come care for him.

Stone just felt Mandy is the one, he need now, the man is never going to admit that, he need someone but in a real sense, he bloody need people around him

Don't you want to eat? Lauren asked pushing food to her mouth, she takes and chew. How did you make it? Lauren asked again because this is sweeter than the first one, she made out of internet.

Fine, I contacted the services of a chef...

What? You brought a man here? Mandy look at him, then frown. Give me the fucking answer. His tone wasn't friendly.

She nodded in fear, she wanted to look for a girl but it all ended up as a boy. Mandy, haven't I warn you about boys? Stone is watching the two, Lauren must be crazy, how could his head keep calculating negativity?

If the chef is a boy or a girl, what difference will it makes.

Yes, I swear, I was here, when he was cooking. Lauren fall his face, when his eyes meet Stone, that look was one of reminding him that Mandy is scared.

Sorry! He said after going back to his meal, Mandy nodded, the rest of the meal go silent, he decided to take his bath after the meal, he groom himself like nothing happened, it's a new Dawn for him, waking up to see Mandy beside him is what he dream of, the one woman that gave him peace of mind, seeing her melt his heart, even though the pain is still there.

Mandy grabbed his hand, she knows he does wants to talk about it but he is in pain.

What is it? She didn't reply, she just hugged him, crazy though but that is what Lauren need, he too hugged her, they remain there for more than thirty minutes then pulled away.

Why...

I just felt you might need one. He smiled and then pushed his hand into her hair.

Thanks for being here with me, it means a lot. Mandy smiled sheepishly at him, she jumped on the couch, Lauren fall his head, she place a kiss on it, he smiled.

Why are you short? Lauren asked her. It's simply because you are tall. Another round of laughter goes on, this is one thing, Lauren hardly do, even though he is hurt, he is smiling like nothing happened.

Come on, I know you need to be at the office. Mandy pulled his hand.

What about you? Are you coming to the office? She shakes her head, Lauren face get saddened, he was thinking of making her, stay in his office through the day.

Please, can I take two days off...

What? You will be out for two days? Lauren yelled, it wasn't because of the company, he is going to missed her, right now, he need Mandy around like no other thing.

Sorry, I promise, I will fixed all the files, you wouldn't even notice that I didn't show up at the office. Lauren didn't say a word, he grabbed his laptop and exit the building, Mandy look at Stone, the man didn't give her a glance, he wouldn't want Lauren to have his head on a tray for staring at the woman in his heart.

Mandy got no idea of what social media had speculate about her, before her arrival, Lauren had taken them off, shut the mouths of all those reporters, he had achieved what he wanted, Leah is out of his life for good, settling scores with her is enough reward for him, all he needs do is to work hard for the company and forget everything about Leah and her betrayal.

Mandy have so many things to do, having more than ten magazine to appear on their front page in their next series, it's a challenge, she haven't been through this before, now she wonder how Sharon survive in this world for long.

Just stepping into her car, her phone ring, she looks at it, from a number she doesn't know but what can she do, she pick but no word came out of her mouth.

Hello, is this miss Mandy Edward, I am Sally, your new manager, I don't know if I could meet you, or just join you at the site.

At the site, will be perfect. That was Mandy reply, she let her do all the talking and then reply.

Okay then, we just discussed your new job there. The line die off, she is getting popular with each passing day, in no time, she and Bryan arrives at the site, Miss Sally, her new manager is wait gorgeously for her, immediately she step down from the car, she takes a few step to her.

Welcome, I am...

It's fine, I am Mandy, I hope we make a good team. Mandy said as the two walked into the hotel.

Lauren arrives at his office, though it's late, Larry and Dylan wasn't expecting him to come, seeing the man gloom face, they just follow behind him.

Why...

Nothing, I am fine, here, you should work on this file. Lauren throw a file at Larry, who want to ask about his gloom face.

Let's go to Miami.

Lauren look at Dylan, is the boy crazy, why will he travel all the way to Miami. Grandpa Asher is having is wine banquet, so he asked me to attend, maybe, we should just see the place and easy our stress.

I don't have time and I am not stress. Lauren words are strict.
