Meanwhile.
“Makesure you fix everything that might be wrong and let me know the cost,” I said to the mechanic, he nodded slowly as he took the keys I stretched out to him, I told him to pick up the car at my office and with that he turned around and walked out of my house.
“What’s wrong with your car again?” Daphne asked as she walked into the living room with a plate of cashew nut and casually took her seat on the chair going in first with her legs.
I raised my lips up at her in a sneer at what she just did,
“Such a classless girl,” I said to her she raised her brows at me and hissed loudly as she picked up another nut on her plate
and chewed on it noisily.
“Look who is talking,” she muttered.
“What’s wrong with your car though,” she asked as she sunk further into the chair and picked up the television remote.
“It’s actually not my car, it’s Harper’s ” I replied, she gently dropped the plate she was holding on a bedside stool and propped
her head forward towards me.
“How come! Give me all the gist please, I can’t believe you’re hiding updates from me now,” she said dramatically clapping
her palms, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I sat comfortably in the chair turning to face her, also folding up my
legs on the couch.
And then I went ahead to tell her how Harper stopped by, all the things we talked about and finally to how I met her
frustrated at a broken down car, she raised her brows nodding her head slowly with her lips curved downwards as I rounded
up my story.
I raised my shoulder up in a shrug waiting for her to say something but she didn’t,
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I voiced out almost immediately, she chuckled and picked up her plate of cashew nut again and began chewing.
“I didn’t even say anything,” she replied, I exhaled deeply and got up to my feet, I passed her one long stare and she returned
my stare with a funny face definitely teasing me about Harper I’m sure.
“You know one thing, I noticed you’re not so tenacious to get other people to side with you like this, a one time no is enough for you to let go, I’m still wondering what is fueling your consistency with Harper,” she finally said as I turned to go upstairs, I chuckled lightly, I could tell she had engaged every self control tactics known to mankind to not say anything but didn’t
succeed.
Knowing Daphne, she could literally burst open if she doesn’t say what is on her mind.
“Well, Harper is not just anybody and you know it,” I replied and she raised her brows tauntingly at me,
“You do know that after Jade you can actually love again,” she said to me and I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and raised my lips up in a sneer.
Jade is my ex girlfriend, we broke up because we wanted two different things, I loved her deeply and wanted to wife her but actually she didn’t want to be a wife, I was a family person but she wasn’t, I really wanted things to work between us but it
didn’t.
Our fights and arguments got more intense and frequent, it broke my heart to always argue, I even suggested we go for therapy and that I would wait for her till whenever, but she looked at me in the eye and told me she outgrew me already and

that was the last I heard from her.
It was tough but I’m in a much better place right now.

“Atleast I know what it feels like to be in love, you on the other hand should find a man who would make you happy,” I teased
her, she drew her face in a long frown and raised the corner of her lips in a sneer.
“I don’t need another man, you already make me happy,” she replied as she resumed eating her nuts again and turned to the
- TV.
“God forbid that I make you happy! Tell me what I’m doing to make you happy so I’ll stop please!” I retorted playfully as I turned around and began to take the stairs up my room, I heard her chuckle lightly and mutter words I could barely hear.
I really wish the whole world can get to see this playful part of Daphne, she’s such a sweet and adorable girl only with family, but she’s an absolute terror with outsiders it’s even worse with our employees and I know they’re absolutely horrified by her.
I exhaled deeply as I pushed the door to my room open and walked in, I gently began to unbutton my shirt, I took a quick shower and got changed into my pyjamas, all the while Harper’s face would not stop going through my head, I exhaled deeply
and took my seat behind my vanity desk.
My phone began to ring, I picked it up and placed it over my ear.
“I doubt that it’s possible to retrieve the lost files sir, the phone is an old model, it would take an awful long time to get it
fixed, even if I have the means,” he said to me over the phone and I nodded slowly as if he could see me.
It was my father’s phone, I found it recently in our belongings and I know for sure that there would have been evidences on
the phone to Atleast help us, or maybe contacts Atleast we’ll know names of people to find but now it’s a very dead end. I
exhaled deeply, almost all my route have been met with dead ends,
“You know what, hold on to it, I’ll get back to you soon,” I said to him over the phone.
“No problem,” he replied and with that I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call.
I gently dropped my phone on the table, I decided to just pause and wait and see how my plans with Harper pans out.
For now I needed to do everything to satisfy Mr Cassano, his contract with us, will help us keep engaging DMW.
