CHAPTER 99 :JUDY’S OBSESSION
Judy stopped a taxi and asked the driver to drop her in a restaurant at the outskirt of the city. She crossed her legs in the car and rested her back on the chair as the taxi driver drove her.
“We are here Ma’am. ” the taxi driver announced.
Judy felt the drive was too short or rather her mind was so occupied that she didn’t realized she had reached her destination. She stepped out of car and paid her fare.
“Where are you? ” she inquired after placing a phone call.
She nodded and headed into the restaurant placing her phone bag into her purse.
“Hello. ” she greeted the man she came to meet.
“Hello Judy. ” he greeted back with a smile.
“You look worn out. ” he pointed out while she sat.
The man was having a glass of lemon juice when Judy walked in.
“Any orders? ” he asked her.
“No I’m fine. ” she replied shaking her palms declaring her lack of interest in the menu.
“Come on Judy. Have something. ” insisted the man.
“No thanks. ” she disagreed.
“Not even water? ” he asked her.
“Okay fine. ” she finally yielded and the man asked the nearest waitress to get a cold bottle of water for Judy.
The man looked at Judy as she emptied the bottle water into the glass before her. He noticed how worried she was and he knew something was wrong. The Judy he meets with once in a while is always bold, cheerful and full of master plans.
“What’s the matter Judy? ” he asked her after she was done drinking the water.
“You look worried. ” he hinted as she was keeping the empty glass on the table.
Judy cleared her throat, adjusted her jacket and said
“There’s a problem in the office. ”
“Problem? ” asked the man.
“Yes and we need to tackle it else the company will go down. ” she told him.
“Listen Judy. ” he called her attention with his hands on the table.
“I understand you care about Gideon but remember the plan. Do not divert from our path. ” he warned.
“What do you mean? ” Judy almost screamed at him.
“Gideon is the focus. ” he replied.
“Focus on him. ” he further told her.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“How am I supposed to focus on him when he isn’t focusing? ” she argued.
“Listen! ” Judy said staring into his eyes.
“I know the plan. Don’t you trust me? ” she demanded with her palms wide open.
She began laughing at the man.
“The plan still stands. I marry Gideon and you take over the company. ” revealed Judy.
“It seems like you loosing focus. ” he said to her.
“Of course I’m not. ” she assured him with a smile.
“You can’t take over a crumbling business. ” she said to him resting her back on the chair.
“There is a rival company in town making waves in the city. ” began Judy.
“The brand is called LIA and it has managed to secure more deals in it’s few months of existence. ” she explained.
“Who owns the brand? ” the man asked her.
“I don’t know and it is frustrating. You see why I am looking all fucked up? ” she asked him lifting up her brows.
“This company is taking over our target investors and associates. In fact, it is our main competition. ” Judy proclaimed.
“We have incurred losses in the last month. ” she continued.
“We have lost deals and this is having a huge effect on Gideon’s state. ” she said looking at the wall.
“I’m sorry about all the shit going on in the office. ” the man sympathized with her.
“Nevertheless Judy do not divert from the original plan. Stealing that company is our main priority. ” confessed the man.
“Oh please don’t remind me. I know what we must do. ” she replied smiling.
“Wait till I am Mrs. Gideon Romero. Once am married to him, everything he owns will be yours. ” professed Judy.
“Then focus and get more closer to him than ever. ” advised the man.
“Of course I will. I am trying my best ” she replied.
“Once I uncover more information about that LIA brand and put them in their place, Gideon will be so delighted and this act will usher me into his heart. ” she said then began biting her lower lip.
Whenever Judy mentioned Gideon, the man always noticed how her pupils dilate, how her smile widens and how enthusiastic she is when talking about him. He knew Judy has strong feelings for Gideon and he keeps hoping these obsession of her’s doesn’t ruin their long time plan. He always knew Judy loved Gideon but he was scared the love was turning into an obsession.
“You know I have no interest in Gideon’s business right? ” she told the man while looking at him.
“Why do you think I am his personal assistant and secretary? ” she asked him.
The man knew the answer but didn’t voice it out.
“So I can be around him all day long. ” Judy responded and started laughing out loud.
“I can’t take my eyes off him. When am away from him for a minute, I feel lost. His presence has a way of making me feel good and those sparking eyes of his turn me on. I just can’t wait to have him inside me ” she declared while the man watched her in astonishment.
Her eyes met with the man and she began laughing like a psychopath which the man found weird.
“I want Gideon more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life. His fragrance sets my heart on fire and when he smiles, I can watch him do that for a long while.” she continued revealing her fantasies to the man who kept looking at her without a word.
“I can’t wait to make him mine. I can’t wait to be his wife. ” she stated staring at the sky with her back on the chair.
She broke out laughing again.
“Stop it! ” the man screamed at her.
“I’ve heard enough. ” he added.
