Two Different People✔

SIX: MEETING HIS EX

My siblings thinks I'm crazy 'cause I talk to myself😂😂

Adaeze pov

Four days later

"Thanks" Ire opened the door as I sit in his car. He drove out of the driveway. We stayed quiet in an uncomfortable silence.

"So...." He began

"What?"

"Tell me about yourself"

I ignored him

"Adaeze" He called

"What?" I snapped

"Sorry, but I need to know about the person who's working with me"

"What do you want to know?" I asked

"For example, I'm Ire by name, twenty eight years and a graduate in business administration" He answered

"Well.... I'm Adaeze, twenty three years by age" I didn't feel like telling him I'm a dropout.

"Okay"

******

"Welcome to my house" He said as we stepped down from his car

Wow! Did he say house or mansion. This is a collosal mansion set out before me. It had a beige stonework with massive white balconies in the front. Three were dozens of windows scattered across the stone wall. The lawn was lush and green and there were calla lilys everywhere.

There was a pool at one side of the house which was divided into two parts. He noticed that I was looking at the pool

"You know, you can go swimming now" He said with a smirk.

"Thanks"

He held my hand firmly and we moved towards the garden section. It is so green and well nurtured.

"IA this where the party is taking place?" I asked

"Yeah, I don't really like doing any party in the main building" He replied

"Okay"

"Some decorators were hired from a company so they would come over by the end of this week, I just brought you earlier so you would see how things would be done"

"Okay" I brought out my notepad and pen

I walked over to a part of the garden as he followed me.

"I'm wondering if the food and gifts can be arranged here" It was more like a question.

"Yeah you have sense of reasoning" Was that a compliment or an insult. I decided to ignore it since I didn't know his mind.

"Ire!" We turned to see a woman walking towards us.

"Good afternoon mom" He kissed her on her cheek.

"Welcome, when did you arrive" She asked

"Not long"

She looked at me like she was inspecting my clothing.

"Good day ma'am"

"Good day" She replied still looking at me weirdly.

Ire cleared his throat to gain our attention.

"Mom, this is the lady I told you would be in charge of the party, her name is Adaeze" He faced me "And Adaeze this is my mom".

"Nice to meet you ma" I stretched my hand to shake her but she ignored me.

"What company is she from?" She asked Ire.

"Mom, why are you asking"

"Because this is my party and I want everything to be perfect"

"Yes it will" I said

Ire phone started ringing. He excused himself saying it was urgent.

"So Adaeze, tell me about yourself" His mom asked

"I'm Adaeze by name, twenty three, I work in a restaurant and I'm an event planner"

"Where did you learn it from?"

Tell me, where is this woman heading to?

"My boss taught me all the basics" I answered.

She walked over to one of the sits and settled, I sat beside her but maintained distance.

"Adaeze, do you know you are beautiful" She began.

"Thanks ma"

"But you are of low class and I won't recommend you for my son"

I laughed

Is this woman alright?

"Ma, I'm here to work not for your son" I told her after laughing. It wasn't my intention to laugh but I couldn't hold it.

"That's what they all say" She muttered. I ignored her.

"My son is not getting any younger and needs to settle down and I have the lady for him" She said.

Were you asked?

"Does you son like the lady? I asked unconsciously.

"No, but he will soon" She smiled

"Hey guys" I turned around and was happy to see Ire. His mother had been making me so uncomfortable.

"Hey son"

"I can see you guys are getting to know each other"

"Yes son, I was actually showing her her limits"

He facial expression changed as he looked at me silently apologising.

"Ire, you would be having a visitor very soon"

"Who?" He asked

"Someone " His mother replied

I sighted a lady walking towards us. She is about my height or shorter. I felt Ire tensed beside me.

"Good afternoon ma" The lady greeted Ire's mom

"How are you my child?" His mom asked.

"Fine ma"

His mom faced me

"Adaeze, meet Ire's girlfriend" His mom said
