Married to the President novel Chapter 97

She stepped into his office and saw him concentrated behind his desk. This was the second time she entered his office. She looked around and went to sit down in front of his desk quietly.

Julia raised his head and saw that she was the one. He sighed and paused in what he was doing. He glared at Theresa Mo.

His stares indicate that he is not happy with her. But there was nothing he could do about it.

Theresa Mo looked at him and turned away. Julia is fighting a cold war with her and Junxie Li. He wants her to know that he doesn't appreciate what they did to him.

"Julia, I know you are upset with your brother and myself. But please, I want you to let it go. I am not comfortable with you behaving so cold towards us.

You are the only friend I've got in the entire Li's Group. If you keep snubbing me, I will not be able to feel comfortable and concentrate on my work…."Theresa Mo was coaxing him.

But she didn't dare say she nor Junxie Li was sorry. There was nothing to be sorry about, Junxie Li did the right thing and took the right decision.

"I just needed to be alone, Theresa. I don't want people around me that's why" Julia replied, without his usual cheerfulness.

" I missed your smiles and friendship. I was wondering if we can go to lunch together today since my boyfriend is not around to accompany me" Theresa Mo asked.

Julia Li held down his lower lip and closed his eyes. He doesn't want to offend Theresa Mo nor say things that would annoy her. She is his elder brother's woman and one day will eventually be the madam of Li's family.

"I don't want to go," Julia replied. Theresa Mo said Ok and walked away. She had tried and created a fairly convenient atmosphere for her since Junxie is not around.

Lanre went to the hospital that day and applied for a leave of two weeks. He would see if he can investigate his origin within the shortest possible time and travel to Country A for at least one week.

His leave would commence the next day. He went about his usual activities until Theresa Mo called him and asked him to accompany her to lunch.

He asked about Junxie Li and she said he travelled that morning. She doesn't want to go alone and Julia is too busy to go with her.

Lanre said Ok. He would be waiting for her at the restaurant they first went to when she returned to the country.

He doesn't know if Rosa has said anything to her or not. But he would pretend everything is fine if she didn't ask him.

He would equally tell her that he was going on a two weeks leave starting from the next day. He would be around for a while and then possibly he would travel to see his parents.
