Married to the President novel Chapter 42

Lanre squinted. He saw that Theresa Mo was staring at him angrily. He looked away. He didn't come to see her for a fight but to ask her to reconsider her decision.

"Lanre, you are stepping on my nerves. What are you here for? Spit it out and stop asking me pretentious questions that you already have answers to" Theresa Mo snapped at her.

She doesn't like it when people come to her saying one thing and having something else in their mind. Whatever he wants to say, he could just go ahead and say it rather than going Merry-round.

"Why did you resign from the Li's Group?'' Lanre asked, he was unhappy with Theresa Mo's approach and harsh words at him.

"What business of yours is that? Whatever I choose to do, it doesn't have anything to do with you. So please mind your business" Theresa Mo shut him down.

Lanre was lost. Theresa Mo said such words at him? He never would have believed that a day would come when she would go even with him.

"Yeah, it's none of my business. But I lobbied for that position for you Theresa. And I was the one called by the management to be aware of what my trusted candidate did.

I came to tell you to reconsider your actions. There's still time and we can salvage the situation. You can return to the company now before another candidate will be chosen for the position.

Li's Group is the best and highest paying company in the city. Many are leaving their company to take up job opportunities with them.

How do you pay your bills without a job? Please Theresa, if you are doing this because of Junxie Li, do think twice.

It's you that would be stranded not him. If you don't have a job, how do you contend with him in the court that you are capable of taking Care of your kids?"Lanre persuaded.

"I see you are concerned about my welfare and that of my kids. But thanks, your concern is not needed. And please I don't want you around me anymore.

Stay away from me. And lest I forget, tell the management of the Li's Group that they can give their vacancy to someone else because I am not coming back" Theresa Mo said, glaring at Lanre.

Lanre shook his head and went away. He was through with his friendship with Theresa Mo. He doesn't like women who are aggressive and can say anything to anyone when they are upset.

As soon as Lanre Left,Theresa Mo bolted the door and sank into the sofa. She chased her best friend away. She said unpleasant words to him.

Lanre has been a great friend to her and he is the only trusted friend that she has. Besides Lanre and Rosa, she doesn't have anyone else to call her close acquaintance.

Things are getting more complex for her every day. She started sobbing and ended up doing nothing for the rest of the day.

A new designer was employed and the company went on with it's activities. Days passed and soon weeks were rolling.

Theresa Mo became obsessed with staying at home all day drawing designs. She had successfully drawn a lot of drafts but remained unsure how she would market them.

She decided to go for a stroll one evening. She walked over a pedestrian and didn't know she had walked so far.

Soon the cloud was gathering and she decided to return to her apartment since she has no umbrella with her.

She started going back home. That was when she realized that she had walked quite a long distance. Soon the rain started pouring.

In no time she was drenched and still Walking through the muddy path to her home. She suddenly heard a car honning behind her.

Not willing to turn back, she hurried her steps but she couldn't go as fast as she wanted. The muddy road was dragging her backwards.

Suddenly a hand pulled her and at a time she almost slipped and lifted her, throwing her into the car.

The door of the car became shut. That was when she perceived the familiar body scent: Gardenia.

She turned and saw Junxie Li staring at her wickedly. His suit was already wet and his shoes had been stained with mud. He clenched his teeth and snorted.
