Mr. President’s

Instead of using the back door like she did when she was stepping out, her little bitchy self wanted revenge on Jane so she decided to use the front after Angielu gone to sit after helping her change. Walking in alone meant she didn’t have a date for tonight so every eye raked her as she made her way to the table. Nathan couldn’t help it when his lips thinned just as Jane’s countenance turned to mortification

“See, emergency deliveries still help,” she said, seeing Griffin’s displeased look. Griffin never liked her wearing such clothes because it drew too much attention to her but to curb her jealousy, she needed the attention. Nathan’s smile was replaced by a frown when Mr Hayes appeared with Penelope. “Mr Legend, thank you for having us,” he said politely. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“You qualified,” Nathan responded unfazed. Now, the attention was drawn to Mercedes, and no longer Jane. She felt invisible, even with the expensive diamond she wore. Mercedes was just glistening like the Queen of the event. The whispers never stopped, as confusion abused the mind of onlookers. The President sat between his fiance and his hot assistant. No one dared to whisper the word, mistress.

Penelope wasn’t expecting to see Griffin and couldn’t keep her mouth shut after dinner was served. “Griff, did you come to escort Mercedes?” She asked in a mockery tone. Griffin wasn’t offended, seeing the man she chose over him because of money. He just intended to ignore her but Mercedes couldn’t

“No, he is the CEO of J&J, he qualified,” Mercedes responded for him, smiling proudly like the mother of a brilliant son who won a spelling contest.

Penelope’s face drained of colour. Did Griffin lie to her? He only said he got a job as a servant. “How? When?” She sounded bitter and Mr Hayes noticed it, feeling uncomfortable with his wifes uncouth behaviour.

However, Mercedes wouldn’t stop mocking her. “Ever heard of the saying that when the wrong people leave your life, good things begin to happen?” She chewed a piece of shrimp as she spoke

Penelope was about to speak when her husband tapped her on the right thigh, she clamped her mouth shut and never spoke again. Regret stole her appetite so she watched others eat like a spectator. The rest of the meal was in silence when Jane asked, “so Miss Winters, who is your date for the

occasion.

Before Mercedes spoke, Griffin took the mantle, which made Nathan slightly jealous. “I am, and I’m blessed with two beautiful women as my date tonight,” Griffin proudly said. Mercedes smiled, making Jane uneasy. She couldn’t find a way to embarrass Mercedes but Nathan was more concerned with how the two friends stood up for each other.

Luke had observed everything. Nathan came with Jane, who he very well knew which meant they were taking their relationship to the next level, which made Mercedes a free woman. “Miss Winters, shall I have this dance?” He asked from the other side after dabbing his mouth with a napkin.

“No, she won’t. She doesn’t dance with married men. Not only Mercedes but even Nathan was shocked, as a thin smile made its way to his face. He was beginning to like Angie for this revelation. How could he have known?

Luke smiled, “well, we are separated and finalizing our divorce. Perhaps you should do me the honour instead, Angie. We might just catch up on old times,” he said innocently. Angie was raged but she didn’t have to fight this battle herself. Grifin quickly came to her aid. “She’s my date so she isn’t dancing with you. Look around, there are lots of single beautiful pearls but these two are off–limits,” he said possessively.

Penelope felt jealous as always, Griffin was so protective of Mercedes but she felt he went overboard with Angie. Not only that, Mercedes felt Griffin overreacted because he was raged like Angie was his woman. However, Angie felt that Griffin was actually protecting Mercedes but just using her as a shield. Only Griffin knew what he wanted but so did Nathan.

“Merce, shall I have this dance,” Griffin bowed and asked courteously.

The pleasure is mine Griff, Mercedes bloomed, holding his stretched out arm.

She agreed without casting a glance at Nathan, who was very furious. “Shall we dance?” Jane asked Nathan.

“Im not in the mood, Nathan curtly said, Jane was upset. She hated how Nathan’s gaze was only on Mercedes and decided to do something to get him Jealous, which seemed like a big mistake. She turned to Lake, “Mr Zion, do you mind a dance?”

Luke smiled to taunt Nathan. “It’s a pleasure to dance with the most beautiful woman,” he said and left the table he whispered to Angle. “Can you get your friend away from her?”

Angie understood quite well and whispered back, “we have to do it together. Nathan nodded to confirm acceptance of her plan.

As soon as Nathan stood up, eyes focused on him, as he strolled to Griffin and Mercedes. “My turn,” he said and grabbed Mercedes other arm when Griffin was swirling her. It was unexpected with Mercedes caged safely in his arms, while Griffin stood there like a fool. Instinctively. Angie held his arm and said, “let’s dance Griff

“Of course,” Griff said and smiled while staring lustfully at Mercedes. She will be his. It was just a matter of time, he kept thinking to himself.
