18 Party

Mr Thomson knew Jeremy had a lot to talk to Henrietta, so he engaged Celly in a conversation while walking away from the conference room,to give room for the two to talk .Jeremy sized the opportunity,he lead Henrietta to his office and gave her a seat.

"Thanks Henrietta for saving the company."

"You are welcomed."

"By the way ,how did you know about the companies financial report?"

"I read it yesterday in your study room."

"You are a genius,you were able to read and understand business matter in a very short time."

"Stop exaggerating,all a did was what any normal person could have done."

"Meaning Mr.Enock is abnormal."

"That's not what I meant."

"What did you mean Henrietta?"Jeremy asked this while sitting on the office table,facing Henrietta,who was sitting on the guest chair.

His position was too intimidating,Henrietta wanted to stand up and change the seat but she changed her mind,she thought if she changed her seat Jeremy will know that his proximity affected her.Jeremy stood up and started cycling Henrietta's seat while asking her questions.

"Stop it young master,what are you doing? this is not a game park,why are you cycling me as if I'm kindergarten kid?"

"It's you who behaves like a child."Jeremy said.

"How do I behave like a child?"Henrietta asked

"Let me teach you how grown-ups behave?"Jeremy helped Henrietta to stand up, he held her waist with both of his hands tilted his head towards one side, while his lips were almost touching Henrietta's,Henrietta came out of her daze and gave Jeremy a very hard slap.

Jeremy didn't expect that,he just stared at Henrietta for a few seconds and went back to his seat ,of cause he was very angry with Henrietta,the least she could have done was pushing him a side not slapping him.He took his mobile phone from his pocket,called one of the companies chauffeur and told him to take Henrietta back to the villa.

Immediately after slapping Jeremy Henrietta regretted it ,she wanted to apologise but because of her pride she kept quiet,when she heard Jeremy ordering the chauffeur to take her home,she knew Jeremy was angry.She stood up ,without uttering any word she left the office and went down stairs and waited for the chauffeur to drive her back to the villa.

Jeremy stayed in the office for long,he didn't take lunch that day,Mr Sozzy his personal assistant came to inform him about the party which was to be held that evening.At around 5:00pm he received a message in his phone from his dad reminding him to come with Henrietta to the party.The last person Jeremy wanted to see was Henrietta let alone accompanying her to the party.He decided to ignore the message.

When Henrietta arrived at the villa she saw Ritah at the entrance ,after stepping out of car she went to her."Henrietta I heard today you saved the company."

"Madam Ritah, I didn't really save the company,what I did is what anyone in my shoes could have done." Ritah was satisfied with the answer,she thought the girl could start bragging on how smart she was.

Henrietta went to her room to try and figure out on how she was going to face Jeremy.The party started at around 6:00pm all the J.M company staffs were invited.When it was around 8:00pm and Jeremy had not yet arrived Mr.Thomson gave him a call."Where are you son the party is almost over and you are no where to be seen."

"I'm not coming dad"

"Why,what happened,did Henrietta decline to be your girlfriend? Let me give you a piece of advice, if she said no,it does not mean she doesn't like you,when she will be convinced you truly love her,she will accept you with open arms,just be patient,love is patient."

"Okey dad,I will bear that in mind."
