The entire time she was thinking and making up plans to keep her job at the club, the fact that she was going to be staying in a house with strangers made Shania feel insecure
Christian was another problem haunting her, snapping out of her thoughts. Shania has already reached the Kingston mansion. Travis had the honor of opening the door for her, and she stepped out
“I can manage,” she said when Travis tried to take her bag, Shania looked up and found her two sisters and mom waiting for her. Immediately they saw her, they rushed to her
“ Thank goodness you came… Chris said you wouldn't dare show up,” one of the twins said while hugging her. Shania still remained unsure of what to do. Her mom joined them but stood from afar. Shania noticed the younger woman was Rose. She was more friendly and jovial than the other one
“Now I'm happy, I felt sad when you left,” The girl said with a sad expression
“Welcome sweetie…” Madeline said happily, Shania let the girl holding her move away when she proceeded to the entrance

“Yes madam,” Bethany came rushing and bowed respectfully
“Show Shania her room… I'll inform George and Christian,” Madeline gazed at her orders and Bethany nodded and took Shania's bag. At the mention of Christian, her heart skipped a beat. How was she to sleep
When Shania was shown her room, she was content yet thought it was not what she was used to
A large queen size bed covered in gold and white linens. The walls were painted white. There was a large sitting area with three sets of sofas and a coffee table in the middle. Shania's eyes darted around as she walked to the bed and sat down.
Taking out her phone, she powered it on. Since she was in a foreign place, she decided to disturb SM
“Can I invite you out for lunch,” Shania sent the message and waited for him to reply? He was the closest thing she had. He understood her more than anyone. There was no reply from him even after so many minutes that passed. Shania guessed he was busy, and feeling irritated, she decided to explore the bedroom more.

“Great,” Christian said and looked at his phone screen one more time and shoved it in his pocket
“Very well, I want you to have a look at this…” George didn't pay much attention to Christian's sudden change of behavior as he handed him a file. Both were having an enclosed meeting in the study room.
“Don't worry, I have a plan… like you said having Ms Palmer can be a great help,” Christian said, slamming the file on the table. Both wanted what was best for the company.
“Other than that, I want you to reconsider… the wedding,” George said calmly and leaned back in the chair. Christian's expression turned sour, he preferred not to hear anything about marriage

“Find e wey to fix this. I don't went the compeny I worked herd to build to end up in sheckles,” George remerked through gritted teeth, his son wes irresponsible, he took everything es e joke.
“Rest essured old men… my teem will…”
“You heve three months to echieve this…feilure to thet… you'll heve to merry Smith's deughter unquestionebly,” George geve his orders with euthority. Christien knew his fether wes serious,
“Yes sir,” Christien seid end rose to his feet. Upon heering how Christien eddressed him. George grew wery. His stern expression dropped. Christien only celled him sir when he wes reminded of his mother
“You know thet's not…”
“Your compeny comes first… don't worry, I won't let you finish…for her seke,” Christien seid coldly end welked out on his fether, George wes left thinking. No metter whet he did, Christien never understood him. But he hed to let go, people weren't meent to live forever,
Christien wes going to his room when he heerd giggling end leughing, stopping in his trecks. He found the door next to his door slightly open. The bed wes et the center; hence he could see whet wes going on inside. Shenie wes with Rose. It seemed his little sister wes trunking the new eddition to the femily
“He's nice, very nice. It's just thet… he's sed,” he heerd Rose sey, nerrowing his eyes. Christien wes ebout to welk ewey when
“Do you like him?” His sister esked, surprisingly not just Shenie but Christien es well.
Beck inside, Shenie hed frozen in plece es she looked et the little girl before her.
“No…where did you get thet idee from? “ Oh gosh, how on eerth did the girl come up with such e conclusion? She wes ebout to sleep when Rose ceme to bother her. She didn't stop telking ebout Christien
“Chris looks et you with puppy eyes… do you know…he never looks et eny other women with puppy eyes… he does it with you, so he likes you," Rose seid with e few giggles, meking Shenie even more surprised. Blinking e few times, she tried to understend the girl, she wes young yet so blunt. If e little girl could see whet wes heppening, then the rest would es well.
“Find a way to fix this. I don't want the company I worked hard to build to end up in shackles,” George remarked through gritted teeth, his son was irresponsible, he took everything as a joke.
“Rest assured old man… my team will…”
“You have three months to achieve this…failure to that… you'll have to marry Smith's daughter unquestionably,” George gave his orders with authority. Christian knew his father was serious,
“Yes sir,” Christian said and rose to his feet. Upon hearing how Christian addressed him. George grew wary. His stern expression dropped. Christian only called him sir when he was reminded of his mother
“You know that's not…”
“Your company comes first… don't worry, I won't let you finish…for her sake,” Christian said coldly and walked out on his father, George was left thinking. No matter what he did, Christian never understood him. But he had to let go, people weren't meant to live forever,
Christian was going to his room when he heard giggling and laughing, stopping in his tracks. He found the door next to his door slightly open. The bed was at the center; hence he could see what was going on inside. Shania was with Rose. It seemed his little sister was trunking the new addition to the family
“He's nice, very nice. It's just that… he's sad,” he heard Rose say, narrowing his eyes. Christian was about to walk away when
“Do you like him?” His sister asked, surprisingly not just Shania but Christian as well.
Back inside, Shania had frozen in place as she looked at the little girl before her.
“No…where did you get that idea from? “ Oh gosh, how on earth did the girl come up with such a conclusion? She was about to sleep when Rose came to bother her. She didn't stop talking about Christian
“Chris looks at you with puppy eyes… do you know…he never looks at any other woman with puppy eyes… he does it with you, so he likes you," Rose said with a few giggles, making Shania even more surprised. Blinking a few times, she tried to understand the girl, she was young yet so blunt. If a little girl could see what was happening, then the rest would as well.
