Married to the President novel Chapter 15

Theresa Mo squinted and then smiled. She asked him what he wanted to say? Has he found a woman he likes? He should say it so that she can celebrate with him.

   Lanre smiled. He said she's been seeing the person and even knows her. But before that, he would like to ask Theresa a few questions.

  What does she think about their relationship? He and her alone. Theresa Mo laughed and said they are friends, and nothing more.

   "Fine, that's what I want to get straight before I proceed with my information. I have been seeing someone lately . She's worried and wouldn't want to give her whole being into our relationship despite knowing we love each other ``Lanre said and Theresa looked at him strangely.

   "Does the person know me?" Theresa asked. That's absurd. How can any woman not love Lanre because of her? How many women know her because she's his friend?

   "Yes. She's your friend"Lanre told her. "Is it Rosa?" Theresa Mo asked next and Lanre nodded.

   Theresa Mo's eyes welled up in tears. "How could you and Rosa think so despicable of me? You think I love you and want to start a relationship with you or waiting for you to confess your feelings for me?

   Do I look like some dirty selfish woman Lanre, tell me. Is it wrong that I respect and appreciate your kindness to me and my kids? Does that give you the false impression that I want you?

  I already told Rosa I don't want a man in my life anymore. What can a man do for me better than having these adorable boys? 

  Or is it money and fame? Can't I stand and get those things for myself except a man gives me?

  You have offended me Lanre but Rosa has bruised my ego. She had trampled upon our friendship and I will not forgive without being compensated"Theresa Mo was grieved.

   Lanre waited for her to finish her words so the recordings got everything down. He shook his head and said Theresa Mo was taking it too hard.

  Actually Rosa was unsure about her feelings and hence dragged her feet backwards on their relationship.

   But he is just asking to make things clearer to her. Talking about compensation, he asked how much she intends to be given, capable of calming her despaired mood.

   Theresa Mo started laughing and Lanre also joined. On this part, the latter paused the recordings.

   Theresa Mo said she's happy that the one Lanre bonded with is her friend. She's sure, they both would make a great couple.

   The day after when Rosa listened to the recordings that Lanre gave her, she felt at ease finally. Her doubts have been cleared and no guilty conscience is poking her.

 Two weeks after being in office, Theresa Mo was invited as the senior designer in the Li's Group to attend an auction for Jewelleries.

  Theresa Mo thought about how she's going to pick her kids from school. She called Rosa to take them home while she would stop over to pick them from her place later that evening.

  Rosa was prompt and went to pick them up but decided he was going to buy a few groceries and get them ice cream.

  She told them to wait for her in the car while she got the things she wanted. As soon as Rosa left them, the kids came out of the car and we're so happy to be free to look at the roads.

   The boys were so cute that people kept waving at them and saying hi to them. A couple stopped by to say hi and how's their parents and the kids said their parents are fine.

   They asked them what their names were and they responded accordingly. They waved at them and went away. 

   When Rosa returned, they went home together. Theresa Mo was in Company of Julia Li at the auction when she heard the arrival of Lu Jingli and his wife Tiana Mo.

   She saw them walk in with fingers intertwined with each other. They look like a perfect couple and everyone applauds as they come in.

   She walked over to where they were archives to display and studied each design closely. She wants to learn something new.

   Tiana Mo had hardly settled in when she saw Theresa Mo in a white peplum blouse over a straight blue skirt. She wore high hilled open toes.

  She looked corporate and professional with her well built hips. She doesn't seem interested in Who comes in or goes out, she has just one reason for coming: to see and learn a few things more.

   Ex soldier Clinton sighted Theresa Mo and walked up to her. "Theresa Mo" he called and walked to stand by her side.

   The latter turned and saw Me Clinton. She bowed slightly with a smile. The old man was eased and said he presumed she was looking at the various jewellery designs in the archives and Theresa said absolutely.
