‘I don’t believe love is stupid until now,’Louisa murmured. ‘Daniel might as well turn into a live-in-son in law.’
Audrey lowered her head, not able to face Louisa who was staring at her. Her eyes were fixed to the marbled floor, and then after a few moments, she slowly lifted her head to sneak a peak at her. She saw that Daniel’s handsome face was staring at her too. But his eyes weren’t as questioning as Louisa’s. They were looking warmly at her.
Chioma couldn’t stop smiling at Audrey who was blushing. She gulped down more milk. Before she could swallow the milk, she heard her phone ringing. Chioma glanced at the screen, seeing it was a call from an unknown caller, she didn’t bother to pick up. She finished her milk as she watched Daniel and Audrey staring at each other. Louisa was confused that she had to go to the couch and sat down.
‘Celine brought afternoon tea,’Audrey finally said as she slowly opened the bag that was beautifully packaged with delicious snacks, a box of mixed fruits, with watermelon, apple, strawberries, grapes and papaya.
Everything in the bag was super expensive, and the afternoon tea had come from a high-end coffee shop in the city, which was specialised in afternoon tea.
Then, sitting down, Audrey shared the food with Daniel. Chioma refused to eat because she didn’t have much of an appetite, while Louisa declined eating because, she had already eaten. So, Audrey and Daniel enjoyed it.
Just as they were about to continue with their game of chess, a male doctor wearing a pair of black frame glasses knocked on the door and said, ‘Miss Chioma, this came from a secret admirer who knows you’re here.’ The doctor placed the bouquet of roses on the table and headed out. ‘Please, don’t forget to check the card, okay?' he said as he walked towards the door, pushing the door open, he went out.
