Stella's pov

I rode my car to the parking area of A $ A technologies. The building is large and made of glass. It stood out among other buildings. I walked into the building and spot the reception.

"Good afternoon ma, how may I help you?" She asked with a smile.

"Good afternoon, please what floor is your boss?"

"The last floor, that is the fortiest"

What! I've never seen a building with forty floors. Guess there's a first for everything.

"Thanks"

I walked towards the elevator. There was one that private was written on it, it opened and a man came out.

"Good afternoon"

"Afternoon" I replied.

"This is a private elevator" He said.

"Don't worry, your boss knows me"

"Okay then"

***********

I walked pass a lady which must be his secretary or assistant.

"Ma'am please how may I help you?"

"I want to see ire"

She was shocked. Maybe because I called him by his name but she composed herself.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"I don't need one" I answered annoyed.

"Sorry mate, no one is allowed here without an appointment"

I ignored her and entered an office which must be ire's.

"Ma, Please you aren't allowed in here"

The chair behind the desk turned around.

"Hi ire" I said smiling.

"Mrs Ene, please you can go" He said waving his hand.

"Ok sir" She walked out.

"You didn't tell me you were coming" Ire said. I walked over to the couch.

"Sorry, we need to talk"

"About?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

I pulled my heels, it had been aching my legs.

"Are you playing games with me?"

He looked confused.

"How?"

"What was your so called girlfriend doing over at your house?"

"My ex"

"What was she doing?"

"My mom invited her over and I knew nothing about it. I haven't even seen her in about four years" He replied sincerely.

"Do you have feelings for her?"

"No" He replied without thinking.

"What does she want?"

"She just broke up with her ex and she is seeing me as her backup for money"

"Wow"

"I know right"

I changed the topic. "When are you going to make a move on Ada?"

"Soon,I guess, I have to take things slowly" He answered.

"Ok"

"What should I offer you, coffee or tea"

"No, I'm fine"

It was then I looked around the office. It is screaming money, he has taste.

"Nice office" I complemented.

"Thanks"

"Did you come up with the designs?"

"No, my cousin did"

"Okay, how many siblings do you have?"

"We are four, two girls and boys"

"Never heard of them" I said

"Yeah, my brother is currently working at a branch of the company in London while my sister is a model at vogue"

"Vogue!" I shouted.

"Yeah"

"Wow that's nice, what about the other girl?"

"She's in the university but it is holiday period so she's staying over at my house" He replied.

"Please tell your secretary to always allow me in whenever I come around if not you won't be my brother in law" I joked.

He laughed.

"Yes ma'am, she won't even ask questions when you bisi the and you can come over with my wife next time"

"You haven't even entered a relationship not to talk of marriage"

"Yeah, but I'm getting there"

"Amen" I said.

Ire pov

"Ire, we need to talk" Mom said walking into my room.

"Ire it's about Sekemi, then I'm not in the mood" I went straight to the point.

"That's not my business" was all she said before sitting on my bed.

"Ire free, I completely understand the reason she left you but she was still acting like a child"

"Yeah and what should I do?" I asked bluntly.

"Forgive her"

"Mom, I hold no grudges against her. I have forgiven her a long time ago but I can never go back to my vomit" I said.

"I will let you make your decisions Ire, but when you want to go astray I won't allow" She replied sternly.

"If you try to force me to enter a relationship then it won't work because I like someone else" I said as she looked me in the eye.

"Who is she?"

"Someone" I replied.

"Who?" She asked again.

"When the right time comes you would know" I answered.

"One thing I know is that she must be from a high class family not those cheap girls after your money" She said and walked out.

What kind of mother is she?
