Married to the President novel Chapter 97

She stepped into his office and saw him concentrated behind his desk. This was the second time she entered his office. She looked around and went to sit down in front of his desk quietly.

Julia raised his head and saw that she was the one. He sighed and paused in what he was doing. He glared at Theresa Mo.

His stares indicate that he is not happy with her. But there was nothing he could do about it.

Theresa Mo looked at him and turned away. Julia is fighting a cold war with her and Junxie Li. He wants her to know that he doesn't appreciate what they did to him.

"Julia, I know you are upset with your brother and myself. But please, I want you to let it go. I am not comfortable with you behaving so cold towards us.

You are the only friend I've got in the entire Li's Group. If you keep snubbing me, I will not be able to feel comfortable and concentrate on my work…."Theresa Mo was coaxing him.

But she didn't dare say she nor Junxie Li was sorry. There was nothing to be sorry about, Junxie Li did the right thing and took the right decision.

"I just needed to be alone, Theresa. I don't want people around me that's why" Julia replied, without his usual cheerfulness.

" I missed your smiles and friendship. I was wondering if we can go to lunch together today since my boyfriend is not around to accompany me" Theresa Mo asked.

Julia Li held down his lower lip and closed his eyes. He doesn't want to offend Theresa Mo nor say things that would annoy her. She is his elder brother's woman and one day will eventually be the madam of Li's family.

"I don't want to go," Julia replied. Theresa Mo said Ok and walked away. She had tried and created a fairly convenient atmosphere for her since Junxie is not around.

Lanre went to the hospital that day and applied for a leave of two weeks. He would see if he can investigate his origin within the shortest possible time and travel to Country A for at least one week.

His leave would commence the next day. He went about his usual activities until Theresa Mo called him and asked him to accompany her to lunch.

He asked about Junxie Li and she said he travelled that morning. She doesn't want to go alone and Julia is too busy to go with her.

Lanre said Ok. He would be waiting for her at the restaurant they first went to when she returned to the country.

He doesn't know if Rosa has said anything to her or not. But he would pretend everything is fine if she didn't ask him.

He would equally tell her that he was going on a two weeks leave starting from the next day. He would be around for a while and then possibly he would travel to see his parents.

Julia left the company ten minutes before lunch time. He went with a girlfriend to have lunch. He told Theresa Mo he was not going because he doesn't want to be anywhere close to her.

She wouldn't know he went out to Lunch with someone else instead of her. And there's no way she can know where he would be going.

At exactly the lunch hour time, Theresa Mo tidied her work and took her bag, and went for lunch. She took the elevator and got into her car.

She Soon arrived at the restaurant. She got inside and saw Lanre at an extreme end waiting for her.

She went to him and sat down. Lanre smiled at her. They are like two friends catching up on old times.

"How have you been Theresa?" Lanre demanded as she took her seat. She looked really beautiful and her body was glittering.

She must have been living a sweet and comfortable life. Her relationship with Junxie Li is one of the best things that has ever happened to her.

She is happy and he knows that she is going to become one with Junxie Li someday as his wife. She would marry the father of her kids and live happily ever after with him.

"I am fine Lanre,how have you been too?" Theresa Mo demanded, smiling back at him. When Lanre smiles, she seems to see him familiar.

Lanre noddeed indicating he's fine. He remembered when it was just the two of them that were friends. No Tim and Lee, no Rosa and Junxie.

Just the two of them. They are always like this, all smiles and excited at the sight of each other. When someone stumbled upon them like this, they would easily be called new lovers.

They ordered for their meals and they both had fried rice. Lanre soon cleaned his mouth after eating and stared at Theresa.

"You remember me today Theresa, when Junxie is out of the country" Lanre teased. Theresa Mo smiled and said she has never forgotten about him.

She has only been intoxicated by love. Junxie Li was spoiling her real good that she was carried away by it. Now that he was out of the country, she felt there's a vacuum his absence had left her.

Lanre said, love comes with its power of intoxication that makes someone drunk. While he was talking, he saw his friend and smiled as he circled his hand around the waist of a lady.

"See who we have here!" Lanre exclaimed. He was smiling towards a certain person behind Theresa Mo.

The latter turned her back to see who Lanre was smiling at and was surprised by the person she saw. She least expected to see him there, and with another woman at that.

Where is Rita at least?
