After a short while, Michael downed the glass of wine. Refilling the glass, he took a giant sip, and then he said, ‘I am not a single bone. Chioma had completed half of me which makes me whole.’
‘But Madam Jessica would have been perfect for you…’
‘What is wrong with your brains?’Michael violently smashed the glass of wine on the table. ‘Do you want to have her, you’re free! But never dare you mention that girl’s name to me anymore. If she wants to be mentioned in front of me, then she should be a good girl!’ Michael stood up. ‘It’s getting late. I should head back to the hotel.’
Robert was afraid. He was afraid Jessica might act foolishly. He wouldn’t know what he would do to defend her, seeing how furious Michael was.
Michael paused. He turned and saw that Robert was busy with his phone. He seemed to be texting someone. Of course, Robert was texting Jessica not to show her face to Michael, for he was furious at the mention of her name.
‘Who are you texting to?’Michael glared at Robert and asked. ‘Um…I am ordering your favourite snacks.’Robert quickly said, afraid Michael would see through his lies. He wasn’t intending to order any snack but now he had just mentioned this lie to Michael, he would have to order some snacks to make his statement real. He cursed Jessica under his breath, for giving him such a stressful day.
Michael didn’t ask futher question. He nodded and turned towards the door. He had seen through Robert but didn’t want to expose him just yet. He knew Robert was texting Jessica but he didn’t know what it was.
Still at Audrey’s party, the guests were happily dancing with their partners to the slow music playing from the piano. Prince, who was drinking with his brother Nathan, finished his wine before going to meet Celine who was talking and giggling with a group of girls, gracefully dressed in their evening gowns.
