Chapter 162: Chapter 162

Tessa! Is you.

Larry hurry to her and pulled her into a hug.

Shit! She curse under her breath, as she pushed Larry from her. Don't hugged me.

Tessa!

Do you two know each other? She asked, as she stand from Lauren's leg. Someone should talk to me.

No! No I don't. Tessa said as she run through the door, Larry run after her.

Tessa!

She call out for Tessa, Lauren grab her hand.

Hey, stop it, let's enjoy our meal, they can settle their problem without us.

Are you...

Shh! Lauren grab her hand and pull her to the dinning. Let's eat bonbon.

We can't finish the...

Don't worry, Larry will be back to eat his share.

How did you...

Bonbon! stop it. Lauren grab the cutleries and start digging on the food, she looks at him. Eat, don't stare, cause I know you are staring.

Sorry! She said fast, then start struggling with the hair in front of her, Larry couldn't found Tessa, he walked back to the mansion, Mandy is already sleeping, when Larry pushed the door open.

Dammit! He said hitting the table.

You don't want to destroy my things, do you?

Sorry, I am just frustrated.

Here!

I don't want to attend to any fucking investor...

Can you shut up and go to that stupid address, I gave to you?

Fine! He dragged the address from Lauren.

And don't come back here. Larry frown as he walked out of the mansion, Stone smiled at him, then he stared at Lauren.

What? Lauren yelled at him, Stone had heard his calls earlier, he wasn't talking to Larry, he just wanted Tessa to stay, he already knows that Tessa is same girl as the girl, that his brother is madly in love with.

Nothing sir!

Fine, go home, if there is nothing. Stone turned around and left, since Lauren had told him off.

Few hours later, Larry is already at Tessa's door, he hit the door slightly.

Knock!

Lauren could be crazy? Why will he even asked me to come here, when I am worried about my problem.

He knock again, Tessa sighed as she walked towards the door

I am coming! Who is that impatient person, that couldn't wait.

What is wrong with this...

His thoughts is still wandering, Tessa pulled the door knob, she wasn't expecting that he will be there, she stared at the man with her mouth open, he too stare at her.

Tessa! He was the last person she wants to see, she doesn't want to see him right now and how did he find her, oh Stone! She is going to deal with him but not now, first he need to get this unwanted visitors from her face

You! What are you doing here?

Tessa! Please! I beg you.

Get lost, I don't want to see you, I hate your face.

Tessa's words are hurting, he pushed his fingers into his hair in frustration, as he pushed his hairs back.

I beg you Tessa!

I said get lost, I don't want to see and Stone, he will get it from...

It wasn't Stone but Lauren.

What? She thought Lauren couldn't recognize her, she was very comfortable with the fact that, Lauren couldn't recognize her but one thing, she never thought will happen so fast is the fact that Lauren will run her out so fast, as soon as he recognized her.

Yes! Don't know, how he did it but I am sure, he recognized you but please, let's not talk...

Get lost, I want to be left alone. She pushed the door, in order to close it but she found out, something was blocking it, is actually Larry's leg preventing the door from closing. Take your leg off it.

Tessa, I am not leaving until, you hear my side of the story.

Fine, come in, I don't know what more accusation you are going to label on me?

He closed his eyes,as he takes few steps into the condominium, the place is not well furnished but it's decent enough for her.

She just want him to say whatever rubbish he had to say and used the door.

Tessa, I am sorry, I know that, I accused you wrongly, I wouldn't had called you...

Larry stop it, I don't want to hear those words again. Go away and leave me alone.

For the first time in years, Tessa remembers all the words used on her by Larry, calling her stranger, prostitute and an orphan, her tears drop like rain.

Tessa, I am sorry...

Larry go away, leave the poor stranger; prostitute and orphan alone.

Picking the three words, Larry could feel that, her heart is still very heavy, he fall on his knees and cry as well.

I know I have sin against you, I know you hate me now but I swear, I regret every actions of mine, I was just carried away with Lauren lying on the bed, me seeing you hugging Kendrick, was just too much, I wasn't able to process everything but the truth is, I am nothing without you, I am sad without you, I don't have any life without you because I still love you with all my heart, I could understand if you stop loving me...

I never stop loving you, even if you hurt me a million times, I still want you but my heart had grief enough, so just heal my heart. I was just tired, tired of wanting to fight for something that might not happen...

No way, I love you with everything, you know I didn't mean to hurt you and I can never hurt you.

Even if you love me with everything, there is no way you could marry me, I just want to leave, I just want to end it before it comes to when your dad will turn the table at us, I watch how Mandy was ignore because she is a bloody nobody, I don't want to get into your world, because even if I try, I can't, I just don't fit in, so let be in my own world, which is the world of strangers, poor; orphan and...

Tessa stop it, you are far from being those things to me, I don't believe that...

Larry, you said it yourself, that I am..

Larry didn't wait for that before he kiss her, taking her unaware, Larry deepen the kiss making her breathless, in a second, he circle his hand on her waist and she too circle her hand round his neck making Tessa end up in bed with Larry again.

I am sorry! Larry said after consummating her, he wiped her tears.

Larry, you wouldn't...

Will you marry me? Tessa look at Larry shock, what was he expecting her to say. Go on and say yes.

Larry stop it, I don't think this is the right time for that.

But I...

You should tell president Daniel first not me

Tessa, I...

Larry stop it, you should leave now.

What? I thought we are okay?

Go home, we are okay but I just want to be left alone.

Larry grabbed his stuff, Tessa let him taste her again, he thought everything is fine but Tessa is not ready yet, not that she is not happy with Larry but she is just too scared to accept him.

Should I come back?

No! I will let your brother know when I am ready.

Not a word came from Larry, he just exit the door, Tessa fall to the couch and cry, she just can't believe she can't push Larry away.

But how can she, when she love him the way he is.

Lauren had an urgent meeting at the office, so he left before she wakes up, he is having a meeting with the staff.

Oh! We are preparing for the annual...

His words hook, seeing the girl message.

I like a shoe but I don't know which of the colors to pick and it had five colors and the thing is, all are beautiful, can you help me pick?

President Lauren, can we continue? Lauren look at his assistant.

Nope! Let's take a brief break, I am sending you a picture, you all should help me solve this difficulty problem first. Number these shoes from one to five, start voting now, which one get the most vote, start voting.

Secretary Tina should do the counting. Tina smiled, what will the boss want to do with female shoes?
