Chapter 197 - Thinking about her (1/2)

.....

''I don't know. '' Nicklaus sighed; at that moment, that was one of the hardest decisions he had been faced with. He was torn between telling his Auntie about her cheating husband and holding onto the information in case he needed it in the future.

Tiana took one look at him and saw he looked troubled, she knew he was faced with indecision; his auntie Elizabeth was a good person and she deserved to know the truth but was it the best decision to take?

Thinking for a moment, she rubbed his arm; ''we can keep the information, for now if Elizabeth knows about it now, we would have given up any shot we could have had against Michelle and Douglas, and I'm sure she would support your decision when she finds out. ''

Tiana said, trying to make his decision easier. Nicklaus sighed; ''I could never have thought that he was capable of that. ''

''Me too, he's the quietest of all, he didn't seem like he could hurt a fly,'' she said.

There was a moment of silence between them; ''let's go have lunch, okay?'' Nicklaus said, trying to change the topic.

Tiana nodded; ''give me a second, let me call my friends back, they must be really worried. ''

''Alright, ''

…

Michael sat in his office, his eyes reading the news over and over again; the news was about the death of the Chairman of the Howells Corporation, but that was not what caught his fancy. The fact that Diana smith was related to him came like a shock.

He could not believe his eyes. She was the chairman's granddaughter, how had he missed such an important detail?

Michael wondered as he scrolled up, reading the news over and over again.

After some seconds, he flipped to her IG page and he saw that she had posted about his death already.

He withdrew into his chair. Even though he was not Catherine Wills' biological son, he was the current CEO of Warren Corporation and both companies had a strained relationship; he never thought that the only woman who finally caught his fancy was a part of that family. Yes, strangely, he had not stopped thinking about her ever since that day. He found himself going to her IG page every single time he was less busy, as though that was not enough, he binge-watched her movies and TV shows, just to see her laugh, smile or cry. He wanted to see how she looked when she did those things, and without him knowing, he was slowly falling for her and now he could not get the thoughts of her off his head.

He had been with a lot of women, but with this woman, he felt something he had never felt before, a strong connection that he could not ignore.

He wanted to stop thinking about her, hell, they just met once, but his mind would not give in. And right now, knowing that she was from the Howells family, he should finally crush all thoughts of her, but surprisingly, he felt drawn to her more.

Michael ran his hand through his hair; this was pathetic;

He had a lot of issues to worry about, why was she invading every single aspect of his thought?
