Chapter 173 - Long dead

Inside the office.

" What brings you here Mr Walker?" Sermon asked.

" I am here to meet Mr Koulus Jelvis." Chris said.

Getting up from his seat, Sermon gestured Chris to sit on the couch.

" Seriously do you want to anger my dad to death?" Sermon asked.

Chris took a deep breath and said," I am here to talk to Mr Jelvis because I don't want to-"

Cutting him off, Sermon asked," You don't want to be the reason between the father disowning his daughter thing?"

" Something like that." Chris said.

" Look Chris, you know that father will never agree to this. I think you should go and get married to my sister and live happily ever after." Sermon said.

" Does your father know that I am here or not?" Chris asked.

Sermon sighed and said," Yes he knows." 

" What do you want?" Koulus Jelvis asked as soon as he entered the office.

" I am here to talk about Martha." Chris said.

When Father Jelvis did not say anything, Chris continued," We are getting married tomorrow at the registration office tomorrow."

Father Jelvis let out a mocking chuckled and said," Such a rich man but you cannot give my daughter a grand wedding."

" I wanted to give her a grand wedding but your daughter refused having one. She said that there is no one to walk her down the aisle so she doesn't want a wedding." Chris said.

Father Jelvis balled his hand into a fist but did not say anything,

" Mr Jelvis, whatever happened in the past between our families has nothing to do with Martha and me or our relationship. The person whom who have a grudge against is long dead so can you please stop all this to make your daughter happy and accept us?" Chris asked.

Getting up, Chris continued," We are getting married tomorrow at 10 am. If you want then you can come and give us your blessings." before walking towards the door.

" Though you both say that you hate each other and don't care but I know that you both do. Martha misses you a lot though she doesn't say that she does." Chris said before walking out of the office.

After Chris left, Father Jelvis sat on the couch in a daze.

Sermon sat beside his father and said," She is our little princess dad and she is getting married. It's a big thing. It's already been so many years and Chris is right, it's time for us to forget everything and accept them. Even this company needs Martha. You know that I cannot handle all of this. If you leave this company in my hands, I'll never be able to expand it and it will for sure get ruined in my hands. Martha deserves to replace you and not me."

When Father Jelvis did not say anything, Sermon said," Think about it. And I don't know about yo but I'll go there tomorrow." before walking out of the office.

…..

Glory Enterprise.

When Lucifer dropped Silvia outside Glory, Michael was standing outside to greet her.

" Good afternoon lady boss." Michael said.

Silvia smiled and said," Good afternoon and I am sorry for troubling you like this."

Taking the take outs from her, Michael said," This a part of my job madam." before guiding her inside.

The lunch break had just begun so all the employees were currently on their way to the cafeteria.

When employees saw a woman with the CEO's assistant, they started gossiping amongst themselves.

" Who do you think she is?" an employee asked.

" I think she is boss' wife." 

" Yeah I think so good." 

" I cannot believe that the CEO is already married." 

" I know right? If not for the wedding ring on his finger, I would've never believed that he is actually married." 

….

Inside Kevin's office.

When Silvia entered the office, Kevin was busy reading a documents.

Taking the takeouts from Michael, Silvia said," I'll do the rest, thank you so much."

Michael smiled and said," The pleasure is all mine madam." before leaving.

Placing the food on the table, Silvia said," Come and eat it while it's hot."

Kevin quickly got up and started walking towards the couch.

He then pulled her towards him, settled her in his lap and buried his face in her chest.

Running her fingers through his hair, Silvia asked," How is you headache? I bought meds for you. Have them after lunch." 

" It's okay now." Kevin said.

" Eat your lunch first." Silvia said.

Kevin shook his head and said," Let's stay like this for a while."

Silvia nodded her head and kept on massaging his head lightly.

After having lunch, Kevin took the meds and said," I'll take a short nap before my next meeting starts, will you accompany me?"

Silvia nodded her head and said," Sure but where will you sleep? This couch too small and you will not fit in it."

" There is a resting lounge there." Kevin said before pointing towards a door.

Grabbing Silvia's hand, Kevin pulled her towards the lounge and said," Come let's go."

….

Inside the resting lounge.

Burying his head in her neck, Kevin had his arms wrapped around her waist while Silvia was busy massaging his templates lightly.

" Babe." Kevin said.

" Hmm."

" Did uncle Thomas ever have a daughter apart from you?" Kevin asked.

" Apart from me? No." Silvia said.

" Are you sure?" Kevin asked.

Silvia nodded her head and said," Yes, because when they adopted me, they did not have any child and Steve was born later." 

" Hmm, I see." Kevin said.

" Why did you ask me that?" Silvia asked.

" I was just curious." Kevin said before snuggling closer.

Though Silvia found it odd and strange for Kevin to ask such a strange question, she still decided to ignore it and not ask him any further questions.

…..

Sparkle and shine.

When Chris arrived at his office, Martha was waiting for him to go for some wedding shopping.

" What took you so long?" Martha asked.

" I had to go somewhere in the morning and then I had a meeting with a client so I was stuck." Chris said.

" We have to go for shopping and-"

" I have already booked a table and I have already invited Kevin, Rocky, Silvia, Janet and Matt." Chris said.

" Matt is here? Ahh I haven't seen him since so many years." Martha said.

" Yeah he is here since a really long time." Chris said.

Hooking her arms around his, Martha said," Let's go would be husband, help me shop till I drop." 

Intertwining their hands together, Chris said," Let's go."
