Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Here is the scale of what they wanted but is the place fit to hold an overhead bridge and the time frame is it possible to have the two done?

In all the discussion, Tony didn't add a word, he was busy chatting with Cathy and smiling.

Are you with us? Gregory asked him

Sure, I am, I heard what you said, overhead bridge, railway, place, time frame

Then you should put your phone down and listen.

Do you have problem with my phone, Mr Craig?

I don't freak have one, you should listen and who thy fuck are you talking to?

Brian and Gregory look at him, they know he is going over board

You have no right to ask me who I chat with, with my phone?

That is enough, you two, brother man can you please drop your phone?

Are you pleading with him? I could smash that phone now.

Come on prince charming, just let the boss handle it. Brian calm Craig

Fine, let him do that fast.

Give me five minutes I will round it up. Tony tell Gregory, then he type. Please, I will talk to you later, when I am done with the meeting.

Oh no, I thought the meeting is over, so I was distracting you?

So I should continue chatting with you? Seeing her text, he smiled.

Hm!

Don't worry, I was just joking go on, talk later.

Alright later. He end the chat and log out. I am...

He didn't finish his words before his phone ring.

Excuse me, let me take this call then I will switch off.

Hello beans pie! Do you...

Hearing that Craig head spin, he stand up, Gregory stood in front of him

Sorry, I know you are in a meeting, can you please get me Noodles when coming?

Sure, if that is what you want.

Of cause, bye then.

The line went off Craig pushed Gregory from his front he grabbed Tony's shirt

What madness is this Craig? You are daring me, I told you to stay away from her.

Get your dirty hands from me, she is not yours so I have every right to her.

Craig wants to punch him, Gregory pull him.

Huh! Craig screamed and grab his keys.

Where are you going? I am leaving here, I don't want to see his face for now.

He dart outside, Gregory dart behind him, Tony grab his keys as well.

I am going to Cathy since the meeting is over. Brian is shock do this man want to die, Craig action as confirmed that he likes her.

Craig, where are you going? I am going to teach Cathy a lesson, how could she give that idiot hope?

You don't want to stress her? Do you?

He takes a deep breath.

Why will Cathy hurt me like this? Can't she see the pains I am going through? Don't she knows I am freaking in love her?

Craig, she is human, she doesn't read minds, she can only know when you tell her.

Is she an idiot? Can't she see?

Craig...

Fine, it's my fault, my stupid fault that I grow this nonsense in my heart. He open his car door.

Where are you going? To my house, I need peace of mind.

Gregory throw his keys at Ian, why he go with Craig.

Whitney laughed.

Cathy look at Whitney who is smiling sheepish.

Ma! Do you like him?

He is not bad, he is cool, friendly, he also care about me but Gregory doesn't want me to date him.

What about you? Do you want to date him?

He haven't asked me to be his girlfriend

If he asks you, will you date him?

Let me tell you about Gregory. Cathy smile, she knows that Whitney have soft spot for Gregory but her smile at the mentioned of Brian name is like the morning stars, when she tells her that Gregory kissed her, she get shock

What? Did he tell you, he likes you? No, he just get excited maybe that is why he kissed me, he has a betrothed have you forgotten.

That is true.

dating him is like jumping into fire and you, do you love Craig? Her eyes bulge out. Come on tell me. She shakes her head.

You are telling lies.

I don't even know but I like the way he kiss me, care for me but I don't think he feels same way for me and I don't want to get hurt again.

Of cause, we can't afford to date boys that will put us in pain.

Tony love you, why not you date him.

Remember I promise George not to date anyone till after my graduation.

Yes, I know but you can tell Tony that you will let your family know after your call to bar, I am sure he will understand.

Do you think, is love or he is just concerned about me like Craig?

Cathy, stop thinking about Craig, did you see him come here? She shakes her head. So rule him out of your life.

I will accept Tony if he asks me out. Good girl, now let me go get you what to eat.

Good girl, cause I am starving

Jane, you are here? Yes, I have been waiting patiently for you

Sorry, I went to see Ruth, she is having a club party.

Oh! I haven't heard from your son, for couples of weeks, I am his girlfriend but I don't understand him and you told me that you will talk to him but it's been weeks I still didn't hear from you, I am telling my father about it.

No, please, I will talk to him on your behalf.

Eve walked in.

Mom, I want to see a movie. Baby, can't you see I am talking to someone? Fine, I know you don't want me here, I will just tell my nanny to take me to brother.

You are not allowed to go there, you dad said you should stay at home, they are all men not girls that can care for you, so go in now.

She grumble and left.

So Gregory is around and he didn't seem it fit to call me, in fact I will go to his house myself.

No, I...

Nevermind, I can sort things out myself.

Jane!

Jessica called but she did not answer her..

What is wrong with this son of mine, I just hope that girl is longer in his house, is dad might hurt him.

Tony walk in with noodles, Whitney was out.

Sorry, I take so long, I try making it but I just couldn't get it right, so I asked Molly to make it for me

It's okay, I thought you forgot me. I won't dare.

He walked to Cathy, how are you feeling?

I am getting stronger by the day, I think the doctor might change her mind and let me go.

Alright, where is Whitney? She just go out to make a call.

Oh! You should eat. Tony feed Cathy.

Do you eat noodles? Cathy asked him, Whitney as just walked in.

No, I don't, Welcome Whitney.

Thanks!

But you can eat it, if I feed you with it? Cathy wanted to feed him with it. No, I don't like it, I brought fruit, you should eat.

Okay, Whitney said you care for me during those times, I was in coma, so let me care for you now.

She wipe his sweat that where forming bead on his head.

You should not stress yourself too much, I don't want you to fall sick. Cathy put the fruit in his mouth.

This time he takes it and wipe Cathy's side of her lips.

Hey you two, stop doing that in front of me.

Sorry, I forgot, Brian said I should give you this.

Whitney eyes open with excitement the gown is awesome, she rush into the washroom, she changed into it.

Whoa! You look like a star.

Thank you love, go on and snap me. Cathy look at her. Go on.

She snap Whitney, Tony is looking at them, she called Brian.

Hey goddess, have you see...

Come you come online, I want to show you something.

Fine, I will just on my data, she saw the picture of Whitney with the gown, she is beautiful, she call him back. have you see what I wanted to show you?

Yes, you are really a goddess, so you like it?

I love it, it's suit me perfectly that I feel like I am flying.

Since you like it, I want you to wear it when we go out.

Done, alright let me leave you to rest for now.

Alright, hope Cathy is fine? Of cause, she is.

When the call end, Whitney blushing is too obvious.

Mrs! Can you go take it off before you sweat on it and I will tell Grace to bring make up so I could make you up.

Do you have that strength now? Yes, I do.

The next day, Tony was the one that bring the make up cause Grace could not come, when Cathy finish making up Whitney she was really looking like a star

Whitney is very beautiful, Brian mouth drop, he didn't expect that Whitney could be this beautiful with make up

When did God created this kind of human? Is she really some kind of goddess.

Hey, you don't like what you see? Of cause, you are glamorous, you are like the morning dew, the queen of all queen.

Can you stop flattering me? It's the truth, Tony, am I telling lies?

Of cause not, you are an angel. Whitney smile, Cathy pull her hand.

You should know, George princess's beauty can not be compare to anyone else.

Whitney blush, Brian open his arm for her to put hers.

You should go, the prince is lacking patient.

Silly girl.

Whitney and Brian walked away, Cathy smile, at least someone is making Whitney smile again after that no good boy hurt her.

My friend, is cute right?

Yes, do you wear make up? Sometimes, not all the time why did you asked?

I will love to see you on it. Do you want to take me out?

Sure, I will love to after you get strong enough.

Are you going to buy me a new gown like Whitney?

Tony look at her, she Facepalm herself in shame.

I am just...

Don't worry, I will get you one, when you get out.

Cathy smile.

Beans pie, your smile is cute.

Thanks. She gets more shy, Tony chuckled, the girl in front of him, is like poison that he might get addicted to. When are you leaving? So I could get out of here fast?

Don't worry, I could always stay as long as you want.

Cathy eyes bulge out, the man is supposed to leave in a month but Cathy is making him pushed everything further, he want to stay with her, breath same air with her.

He doesn't know what is wrong with him. All his life he had never dated a girl neither is he a playboy, he just don't see reason for having a girl.

When Whitney and Brian return, it was late, Cathy asked her not to come back to the hospital that Tony will stay with her, Gregory is sitting in the bar.

Brian, that rollercoaster is a bomb.

You enjoy it. Of cause, the karaoke, I love it, I wish Cathy will come with us next time.

Sure, if that makes you happy

You are going to do it for me? Brian nodded, Whitney hugged him in excitement.

Gregory saw the act when they walked in.

Ahem! He clear his throat, Brian just let go of her

Greg, you are not sleeping? No, can you go to my room and wait for me, I have some thing to discuss with him.

Alright, Brian good night.

Good night goddess. Gregory watch her walk away, before he say anything Brian asked him, what did he wants to talk about

Brian, I have warn you to stay away from her but you don't listen, maybe I should blind your eyes so you don't look at her lustfully, cut off your tongue so you don't get to speak those your flirtatious words to her, make you armless so you don't touch her.

Boss, she is not your girlfriend, so I can woo...

His words didn't finish before he punch him right in the lips, Brian wipe his lips.

That is your worse but I am having her.

Brian left Gregory, his heart is broken, he opened the door only to see that Whitney is already asleep, he run his hand on her face

Please, I beg you don't date him, I might die, as it is my heart is beating so fast that I might die any minute from now.

He takes off Whitney shoes and lie her well on the bed, he throw the quilt over her body.

As day goes by, Tony is getting into Cathy's system, is like she have taken philter, when he is not with her, she will chat him up, he talks her to bed, he cares for her like a child, there is no doubt that Tony love Cathy and his love is seducing her

Brian on the other hand, as drown Whitney in his love ocean, there is no going back, she wants him, she want to be the first thing on Brian mind, nothing in this world matters to her, as she get closer to Brian, she draw away from Gregory

Gregory could sometimes, stay late in the office just to avoid running into Brian and Whitney laughing shamelessly, every time, he wants to have a good discuss with her, it always ends in fight, she felt Gregory is selfish and doesn't want her for him because she is poor and they are rich

Craig lie on the floor of his room, so many thoughts is in his head, his heart is heavy, he hit his mirror.

Who is the stupid person that create this thing called love?

How can I get myself back
