" Am staving" I said to my husband but he scoffed " Don't you want to feed your child, if you don't I'll not eat anything" I tried using the baby card but he didn't cooperate.
" Sweetheartn,am sorry I was wrong for being stubborn please.... Can we get a seat am tired of standing" this time he took my hands and lead us into a straight passage then took two turns before he opened a door revealing a large conference room. I took a seat while he brought me water.
"I didn't mean to go against you regarding Mr Brooks but he's kids refused treatment on the condition to see their dad, to avoid either of them from trauma or anything that might trigger their health, we had to arrange their meeting spot else where. I had to involve mom when you didn't want to speak with me. My meeting with Ethan Mark is all about work, his wife or ex wife denied him custody of his children but she extorts money from him to care for gay lover. He doesn't want to fight her abroad because that's her country, at first I didn't believe him but I had Jack investigate him which he confirmed his story to be true. That day I returned home after an emergency meeting he called me to meet just because he found Ms Brooks attractive and he needs me to help him speak with her" I told my husband
" I tried talking about it all but you were giving me cold shoulder, I was mad when you came out of the walk-in closet with a packed bag, I truly didn't want to come over when you asked the chauffeur to come but not when you've threatened him with his job. Am sorry If you felt I don't want to celebrate your birthday with you, I was embarrassed that I didn't get to wish it first to you neither did it occur to me it's your birthday today. I didn't respond to you because I had...." He shut me by kissing me hard. It was the continuous ringing of his phone that stopped what would have happened next, our forehead was joined together as we caught our breath.
"We should head back, mom is calling" he told me. He lead us out same way we came.
" Where the hell have you been Victor Lin Frederick" mom queried him but stopped at my husbands words.
" I had to put out the intense fire on someone" he smirked at her, I wished for a whole to open underneath me right now, how can he say such to mom
" My love join me and cut my cake" he said as we all sang him the birthday song and wished him well. We both feed each other some cake, my husband is not a fan of cake so he feeds me more of it but right now he tongue kissed me when he gave me a piece of cake, eating it right from my mouth, I was shy after words.
" Thank you Mrs Frederick.... Come on now you don't have to be shy baby pumpkin" I hit him on the chest glaring at him. " It's my birthday and you're beating me" I rolled my eyes at him. Everyone else presented him their gifts including the bitch secretary.
" Thank you all for your love, truly grateful and to my pretty damsel for the surprise actually, she's full of surprises and am thinking what her next surprise will be" he said but why's he say I surprised him with his birthday party when I didn't.
" Come on attorney Frederick what gift did you go back for, am losing it already" my sister in-law Victoria said
"Did you get me a gift pretty? Now even I wants to know show it already" everyone chuckled as he mimicked his sisters voice.
" I didn't have much time to prepare a gift, but here is a little hope you like it" I gave him the paper work for transfer of ownership of the Yacht. He took it and opened it, when he saw the picture of the Yacht he looked at me then back to the papers flipping through it all.
" Are you for real, someone tell me am dreaming" he says but he's sister Victoria snatched the documents from him. " Oh my goodness, it's the ECLIPSE YACHT!" Everyone was in awe but my husband picked me up
" Did you say if I'll like it, I love it Mrs Frederick, it's like a dream come true" he said making stand on my feet
"Am reborn today.... Give back Victoria Yat" he said snatching back the documents
" Wait, that sounds more like it. It should be named after me Victoria Yat" she said
" That's not happening in this life time and not even in the next" my husband refutes her
"Thank God, someone spoke up to her" grandpa Frederick said
"Grandpa am your favorite gi...." She was saying
" Until I was born" Pearl said
"That's my angel" grandpa Frederick said pulling Pearl to himself
" This isn't fair grandpa and you little girl I'll have you transfered to a boarding school" she threatened her daughter
"That's okay by me because I'll get to be with grate grandpa everyday at school, don't forget grate grandma owns a school which grate grandpa is now the principal" who will believe she's just eight years old, my phone has been ringing none stop and now I got a message which is from Ethan Mark. 'i know you're busy with Victor's birthday but please help me get Ms Daniella Brooks'. I sighed.
" Are you bored, am about to..." He was saying
"Happy birthday once again Mr chairman" his secretary said cutting him off
"Thank you Tina and you can head back home now it's a bit late" say mr chairman. She didn't expect my husbands reply of her going back home, she bats her eyelashes trying to look cute but my husband sneered at her then, took my hands in his " Do you know who this pretty lady is to me" my husband asked her and she got the hidden message.
" I'll be on my way Mr chairman" she bows a little then left.
