Chapter 55

"I missed you so much Edde" Sadie moaned into Edde's mouth as Edde suddenly pulled his lips off looking closely at Sadie. "Come on Edde, continue!" Sadie Muttered as she tried pulling him closer.

"Sadie!?" Edde yelled as he jerked off the bed and quickly grabbed his trousers "What are you doing here!" Edde Screeched as Sadie signed and sat up once she noticed that Edde's eyes were clear from the drink he took.

"I came to see you and surprisingly when you came back you were drunk and mistook me for Elizabeth, I really wish we did it after all" Sadie uttered as she giggled cockily.

"You're Crazy Sadie, why didn't you stay in the sitting room and wait! How did my security guards let you into my room in the first place!?" Edde yelled irately as Sadie stood up and grabbed her bag.

"I lied to them, I guess it's time for me to leave" Sadie said in a smile as she walked towards the door. "At least I earned a kiss from you once again" she said and winked as Edde ran his fingers through his hair in regret.

"Yes you should leave please, Where is Grey by the way?" Edde asked curiously as Sadie scoffed.

"He was all over me and you know how much I hate kids… Especially Grey so I asked Miss Brooke to take him away" Sadie said nonchalantly as Edde tightened his fist in rage

"You should go now Sadie" Edde said as Sadie blew kisses at him and left.

Edde slumped on his bed in regrets, he swore not to get intimate with any other woman except Elizabeth but now he defiled it all. What if Elizabeth was watching him somewhere anyhow?.

He was so used to Elizabeth's Skin feels and her smell that it was easy for him to tell that Sadie wasn't her, he was happy that he was able to control his tipsy state and realize what he was doing before it was too late.

Why would he even drink that much!?.

He pulled into his nightwear and headed to Miss Brooke's room, getting to the front of the door he knocked but didn't get any response. He slowly Opened the door and peeked his head in just to see Grey and Miss Brooke sleeping on each other's arms, he tiptoed in as he made to carry Grey when Miss Brooke woke up and held his hand to protect Grey.

"Oh Sorry Master, I was just being alert" Miss Brooke said as she sat up, Edde couldn't help but smile at how Miss Brooke was literally Grey's human guidance Angel.

"It's fine, I came to take him to bed. You should go back to sleep please" Edde said as he gently carried Grey and left the room.

***

The next morning he was set to go to work and decided to take Grey with him as they hardly spent quality time together.

"Dad, am I going to work with you today?" Grey babbled as Edde slightly took his eyes off the road and glanced at Grey who was sitting at the back through the rear view mirror and smiled.

"Yes you will, and guess what? you will equally be respected because you're the next heir to our company Brigitte" Edde said even if Grey didn't understand him.

"Okay!" He said, sounding enthusiastic as he turned to look at the exciting view of the swiftly passing buildings and people, Grey hardly left the house so every bit of the drive was exciting to him.

"I guess you would love to follow me to work everyday, right?" Edde asked as Grey nodded with his eyes steadily fixed on the exciting things he saw through the window.

Soon Edde got to work and handed Grey to Nelly to take him out to any Amusement Parks around, Edde had a lot of meetings so he didn't want Grey to feel left alone. It was rather better that he mixed up with other kids.

Grey was a very smart kid, too smart for his age and Edde had a plan of taking him to creche as soon as he felt that Grey was ready.

Edde picked his phone as he looked at the screen, he was contemplating if he should call Elizabeth or not. He missed her so much.

"I really should call her, I'm about to make a big decision of taking my son to school so I think his mom got to know'' Edde mumbled as he typed in Elizabeth's caller ID. "it's actually a great excuse to hear her voice once again" he mumbled as he placed the phone on his ear and it clicked to his brain that U.K has a different phone number to New York, he took his phone off his ear as he made to end the call but eventually Elizabeth picked up.

"What wrong, Edde Loxley?" Elizabeth asked harshly.

"Elizabeth are you still in the United Kingdom? I thought you left?" Edde uttered exquisitively as Elizabeth bit her lip realizing how dumb she was answering Edde's call. She cleared her throat and walked over to the balcony.

"And so? Is that why you called?" She replied sarcastically.

His hot British accent filled her ears, it sounded like melodies that she hasn't heard in forever. Hearing his voice once again only made it more difficult to forget him but remembering how he humiliated her in front of Sadie only made her try hard to ignore the effect his voice had on her.

"No no Elizabeth it's totally far from that, it's about Grey. Can we meet up and talk?" Edde requested as Elizabeth scoffed boredly.

"If that's a trick to lure me, sorry you failed… Anything else? And I hope my Grey is doing fine?" Elizabeth asked with concern on thinking of little Grey.

"Come to bed Baby girl" Edde heard a masculine voice in the background as his mouth slacked in awe.

"Hold on Jae!" Elizabeth called out.

"Elizabeth, who are you with, who is that!?" Edde yelled enquirinly and angrily.

"I guess you have nothing serious to say so… Bye" Elizabeth said and ended the call.

Edde held his phone in shock as he stared at it trying to take in the voice he heard in the background, he was totally awestruck.

"Is this what I suspect it is? Is Elizabeth already sleeping around… It can't be right?… Baby girl?" Edde lamented curiously with his fist tightened on his phone.

***

I ended my call with Edde, an unexpected call as I turned to Jae and shot him a hard glare. "I have already told you Jae, stop calling me that nasty Baby girl!" I yelled, faking an anger as he rather smiled.

"I know you like it, I mean, who doesn't like being called Baby?" He said confidently as I sat on the bed and picked my game pad, we were both playing a video game before Edde interrupted.

Just within few hours of meeting Jae we were already feeling like we have known each another in like forever, I learnt that Jae was gay and that only surprised me because he didn't look or act like one… If not that he knows female fashion more than I do.

I woke up this morning very tired and had decided to go late to my Cafe. I never gave myself a break since I opened the Cafe and that's only draining me down.

I was shocked to see Jae in front of my door this morning with a pack of cupcakes and a bottle of wine. I never expected such a sweet gesture from him.

He must have gone to the Cafe to look for me but didn't see anyone and then he decided to give me a treat that I haven't received in a while now… I have a lot to tell Melanie!.

"How about you hire me as your salesperson Elizabeth?" Jae said with his eyes fixed on the screen and his fingers playing with the pad.

"Who said I needed help?" I asked curiously as I paused the game and turned to him.

"It's obvious Elizabeth, you don't need to pay. I will do it for free. I actually need something to keep me occupied" Jae said as I furrowed my brows.

"You will work without getting paid? Why!?"

"stop asking questions and give me the opportunity!" Jae snapped as I blew raspberries taking a deep breath.

"I will think about it, but I will have to pay you though" I said as he shrugged indifferently.

"Any which way but I really won't take no for an answer"

"Oh then, you're hired" I said in a smile as Jae happily pulled me into a hug that I almost choked up to how tightly he hugged me.

"Thank you! "

"Elizabeth is still in u.k track her via her phone number quickly, we really need to get her before we lose her" A tall dark man uttered with his manly loud voice as the lady in front of the laptop started doing whatever she had to do to track Elizabeth's phone.

"You both, once we find her location you will go ahead and trail her. Know everywhere she goes to and who she walks with, I won't tolerate mistakes and try not to get suspected or caught" the man said to the two huge looking men as they nodded.

"Yes Sir!"

"Sir, The Boss is calling" The lady in front of the system said as she handed him the phone.

"Boss?"

"Once you find her, bring her to me" the husky boorish voice said over the phone and ended the call immediately.
