Boss, why are you calling? Where are you? I take a walk, what is it?

Go home and please make Whitney happy, I am sure, she is crying now.

What did you do again?

Jane talk with her. How could you be that careless? Craig stop blaming me, go home and now.

Fine, I heard but don't blame me if I do something to her.

Don't you dare touch her, if you don't want... Shut up, I am not interested in her, fine, I will go to her but please go chat her up.

I have heard, go now. Gregory yelled at Craig. Yes sir, I am on my way. he sighed and went home, when he knocked on Whitney's door.

Who is there?

Is me Craig, open up. She opened it, her eyes are red. Geez! What is wrong with you? Did you want my boss to kill me that I didn't take care of you?

Greg doesn't love me again, he gave Jane his phone to talk to me.

Shh! You are my boss' first and last love...

If it's true then why is he not...

Just let him be for now, he can never replace you, your safety is more important than anything else in his life.

But...

Stop it, you should dress up, I need to take you somewhere.

Where?

It's a surprise. Whitney nodded, when she finished dressing up, Craig drive her to his lonely spot, he lie on the floor, Whitney smile and look at him.

Don't worry, there are no snake, it's fumigated. She Facepalm herself and sit down.

The place is lovely and peaceful. Whitney said he nodded. I come here, when I want to be alone.

Whitney look at him. Am I the first person you bring here? No, it's just those who are special to me.

Whoa! So I am special? She asked. Of cause, everyone special to my boss... Whitney look at him. You are special to Cathy and to Gregory too and they are special to me, so you are special to me as well.

Not anymore!

Whitney, you should not hate him, everything he did is for your safety and...

Fine, so who else have you brought here? Whitney asked him.

Betty, Gregory and Cathy and now you. Whitney smile. You really do love Cathy? Craig sighed badly.

Sorry, you said Betty? Craig nodded, he sit. Betty used to live with us since she was a baby, she is like a sister to me, she lost her mother during her birth, her grandmother which is my nanny Meg care for her.

We attend same school, if she get into trouble I always fight for her, I don't want to see her get hurt, I was like her big brother but I don't know that those care I show her, created love in her heart for me.

Whitney look at him, he sighed badly. On one drunken night, she ended up on my bed, I hated myself for it but she said I should forget about it, that it's just an accident.

We were still friends, she never did talk about it untill I show up with Cathy then she said she loves me. I hate myself for putting people in danger, I am such a demon

That is not true, you are kind, if not where would I be living.

Slow down, my cousin is not going to do that. Whitney smile. you should rest, let me take a little nap.

Craig said, he sleep, he has not gotten a good rest for months, Whitney look at him and smile, when she on her network, she already have a message from reliance.

Hey friend, I hope you are fine. @Reliance

Not fine, you left me, you didn't chat with me for weeks, I lost my life and everything important in it. Whitney.

Oh no, what happened to you? @reliance.

My boyfriend break up with me, now I am left alone in no place, he stop loving me. Whitney.

I don't think he did, he never stop loving you, maybe he just wants to protect you, maybe he doesn't want you to be in pain. @Reliance.

But, he gave his girlfriend his phone to talk to me. Whitney.

Maybe he never did, is just a misunderstanding. @Reliance.

I want to see you. Whitney. Gregory eyes bulge out when he saw the message. Will you be available by Tomorrow? Whitney. She type for him.

He hasn't replied her, she type for him. In the afternoon, just tell me, where you are, I will meet you up. Whitney type.

Fine, I will let you know. @Reliance. She smiled and log out, Gregory head spin, he can't tell her that he doesn't want to meet her but he too can't meet her also.

Craig and Whitney drove home, she is happy, she dress up the next morning for breakfast, she finished eating Craig is busy searching for a file when she enter the study room.

Hey, what are you doing?

I am trying to look for a file but I haven't seen it and it's not even at the office. Oh, let me help you, what is the name?

Cathy, why are you slow today? Craig said, Whitney look at him. Sorry! Go on. Whitney keep searching.

Hey, here I have found it. Whitney give it to him.

Thanks Cathy! Sorry Whitney! Craig said wiping his face.

You will put yourself in trouble. Whitney said. Sorry, I don't mean to call you that.

It's okay, I go on now. Whitney held his hand. What?

Will you still take Cathy back if she returns? Whitney knows that Cathy went to meet with a man to get money when Clara was at the hospital because Craig had told them the story after the burial.

Yes, even if I see a hundred men on her, I will still love her, all I want is just for her to show up but she never did.

Don't worry, she will come one day. Whitney said, Craig smile. I will come back in the afternoon to have lunch with you, so you will not be lonely and then we will think of getting you a job so you can earn money.

Alright, I really appreciate but you don't have to come in the afternoon, I will be going out to meet my friend.

Your friend? Gregory?

Ew! My friend at my blog. Whitney said. Oh, I will have to go with you.

No way, do you want to scare him, I don't want he to get scared.

Fine, I will give you money to get a cab and if anything comes up, make sure that you inform me, in fact, I should recharge your phone.

Whitney is looking at him, he transfer card to her phone.

Thanks!

It's okay, be good and be careful. Craig left, Whitney smile, now she is seeing reasons while Betty fall hopelessly in love with him.

Boss, thank goodness you are here.

What is it? Is anything wrong with Whitney? No, nothing is wrong with her but you are you okay.

Do I look sick? I am fine since she is fine. I am not talking about that, what I am saying is that, you said you want to meet Whitney.

Oh that, yes, she said she wants to meet Reliance, so what do you want me to say?

You want to meet her? Craig asked, he shakes his head. I am paying a boy to meet her as me.

What? Are you crazy? Craig yelled. No, I am not, I have given him the details of everything he might need to know about her and her picture, I also want him because he is a Security agent

Gregory, I don't think this is a good idea, what if the boy...

Craig stop with your dirty thought, he is going to give me details of everything that happened between them.

I really hope this don't get out of hand. It will not and you, how is Zoe?

She is having a course in the state so she is going to be away for long and I am happy she left because I will kill her one day. Gregory laughed, Craig pick a file. Boss, you are having meeting with the board members.

Sure, let's go. Gregory said the two went for the board meeting, Whitney dress up, she went to the playground that is where he asked her to meet him

He said he is going to wear a white t-shirts and a jeans, where is he...

Hi! Whitney. He said, his voice is soft, tall and handsome with a good body build.

Who are you? Oh, sorry, you are Reliance right? Whitney asked, he nodded. Whoa! This is really the first time I am seeing you since we became friends. She hugged him, he didn't expect that but when she did, he find himself hugging her back.

You don't know how happy you made me, I never thought I could see you.

Even me but it's a good thing, we did, you are beautiful. He said, Whitney blush. It's the fact, you are like an angel, come over let's sit.

As they sit, Whitney look at him. Here ice cream, although it's from the road side but it's clean.

Stop talking nonsense, I am not some kind of wealthy girl, you seem to have much knowledge about relationships, your girlfriend must really be happy.

I don't have a girlfriend. She looks at him and then laughed. Stop playing around, how could you say you don't have a girlfriend.

The thing is, I used to have a girlfriend but she passed away few months back because of cancer.

Oh no, I am so sorry, I didn't know you were experiencing all those pains and I was stressing you with my trouble.

Oh stop it, you are my friend, friend look out for friends, come on, let's go ride a rollercoaster.

You like that too? Whitney asked him, he nodded. I am excited, let's go. Whitney jumped in excitement, they both roll on it, she is happy, when they get down, she looks at the time.

You want to go home? He asked. Yes, it's getting late, I need to be at home, I don't want my friend to get worried, I live with him

Alright, let me get you a cab.

No, I can get home on my own, I enjoyed my day, I will let you know when I get home. He nodded. Bye Reliance.

He smiled as she walked away, when she get to the mansion, Craig is outside, he is calling her.

Hey, why did you not pick your calls?

Relax, I am here already and why are you outside?

I am waiting for you, you don't expect me to be here and you out there with some stranger.

Relax, he is no stranger. She get his hand and put it across her neck. We have been talking for a long time although we haven't seen each other, but he is nice, he lost his girlfriend to cancer.

Oh! Poor thing. Craig said. He is coping fast unlike me, I just hope I could get over Gregory fast.

Hey, do you want to stop loving my cousin? Do you want to replace Gregory with him? Craig asked confused, Whitney peck him. No, I don't have the heart to love another, I will be in the room.

Craig smile, when Gregory get home, he pick his phone and call. Hello Paul, how did it go?

Paul is the real name of the imposter, Gregory rent as him.

Oh, she is happy, we went to the park that is where we met then we ride a rollercoaster, we share story together, we plan of meeting tomorrow again.

Yes, if you don't like it, I could cancel.

No, just do it, if that is what she want, just keep me posted, I will send you money. Thanks, I will get you the details tomorrow.

I will be expecting it. The line die off after Gregory off it, he fall to the bed, when he on his network, Whitney drop message for him.

Oh, it's fine I didn't wait that much. Reliance said, what will you like? Will you like to go for swimming?

What?

Yes, I love swimming, don't you like it? He asked Whitney, she nodded, they left for it, Whitney doesn't know how to swim so he is teaching her how to swim.

Whoa! This is cool, I don't think I could before now, all I do is still at the pool and play with water.

I told you, you can, you are such a fast learner.

And you such a good teacher. Whitney said, he smiled. And your smile is breath taking. Silly girl, you are such a teaser.

No, I am not, if I say you are handsome than you will think I am teasing you. He look at her.

Reliance, you are a good person, so when I compliment you, you should just say thanks not criticize what I said, is like you are saying I have a poor judgement.

Noted ma, so get off the water before you catch cold.

Yes boss, I am almost out. Whitney get out of the pool, she slipped and was falling into the water, he grab her hand.

Hey be careful. He said, now is face is closer to hers, he saw her beauty, she is really a beauty to hold.

Thanks for catching me.

You welcome, do you want to go home now?

No, I will not go now.

I don't want your friend to beat me up. Silly, come on let's have fun, they went for a hot air balloon ride.

Reliance, this is high

Don't look down, if you are scared of height. No, I am not, I like it, is just that I am a little dizzy.

Just hold on to me, everything will be just perfect. Whitney is excitement, when they get down, she screamed.
