Chapter 0145
This is going to be a great ride.
“Thank you for letting me come with you,” 1 tell him once I’m settled. My hands are stationed on my lap, with my fingers intertwined.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I should be the one thanking you for accepting to keep me company.” I spot his cute dimple when he smiles again. He ignites the car engine and kicks off when the car roars to life. “You look beautiful this morning.
Oh, shoot!
Another man to make me blush my life away again.
“Thank you.

“I don’t think you understand. You have a certain glow on your face today like something really exciting happened to you.” He shoots me a glance before looking at the road. Nervousness coils in my stomach as horror skates through me.
Something exciting.
Is it that obvious?
I chuckle awkwardly to ease the tension rising in my chest.
“Nothing exciting happened.” I lie. “I’m just you know… glowing for nothing.”
“I highly doubt that, but okay. I’ll take your word for it.”
“Thank you.”
“But your eyes though. They are sad. Is something bothering you?”
Is this man a psychic?
“Uh no.” I lie again. “I’m cool.”
“That’s a lie. Tell me what’s bothering you. I won’t stop asking until you tell me what I need to hear.”
And I know he’s serious about that. I let out a sigh and trained my eyes on him.
“My friends are avoiding me. Nelly and Tessa, just woke up one day and decided to stop
“ding to me.”
“Did you do anything to offend them?”
“I don’t think so. No matter how much I think, I can’t recall anything I did to upset them.”
“So why would they just stop talking to you?” He shoots me a brief glance.
“I feel like they are being influenced by someone. Because I know Tessa all too well. If I had offended her, she would have told me that same moment. She’s not the time to store things. and hold grudges. For Nelly, I don’t know her too well, but I think she would do the same. That’s why I think someone has a role to play in their sudden cold attitudes towards me.”

“Do you have anyone in mind?”
“Well…” I slur. My heart rate picks up. How am I supposed to call his sister’s name? “I do. But I have no proof, so I’d rather not call out the names.”
“Smart.” He says, nodding. “I’ll see what I can do about that. Okay?”
“What do you intend to do?”
“I don’t know yet, but I’ll try my best to get to the root of the issue. How does that sound?”
“It sounds awesome. Thank you.” I’m beaming like a light ray.
“You’re welcome.” A moment of silence goes by. “Would you like to listen to some music?” He breaks the silence.
“Ah… yea. I would very much love that.”
“Cool. Pick up my phone.” He points to the console box which contains his phone, two watches, and other items. I pick up the phone and he presses a button on the music system area. “Turn on my Bluetooth and connect with the car. Name is Kyle.” I do as told and soon, it’s connected. “Now you’re free to play any song you want.”
“Thank you.” I smile as I go to the music app on the phone and choose a song to play.
Throughout the ride, none of us say anything to each other. He has his eyes on the road while I quietly listen to the music playing.
This is why I like this man. He always lets me have my way when I’m with him.
“We’re here.” He stops In Front of a tall building and I pause the music.
“Should I get out?”
“There’s no need for that.” He opens his window and soon, a man shows up.
“Good day, Delta Kyle. The documents you asked for.” The man hands him a brown envelope which he opens and goes through its contents. When he’s done, he looks at the man again.
“Thank you, Cole. That will be all. You are dismissed.”
Thank you, Delta.” The man bows curtly and leaves. Kyle closes the window. The file goes. straight to the backseat and my mouth keeps itching for me to ask what it is, but I know better than to do that.
Ashanti. Do you have any prior engagements for the day?” He asks with raised brows. I shake my head.
“Not really.”
“Great! So we’ll be spending the day together!”
“Spending the day together?” I am confused.
“Yeah.” He starts the car and drives away. “We’ll start by visiting a seafood restaurant. How does that sound?”
“Uh… yummy!”
“I know, right?” He drives on and I lean against the backrest of my chair with my head
spinning like a rollercoaster and my heart threatening to hop out of my chest.
I will be spending the entire day with the Delta.
That sounds terrifying!
