The worse thing is that if she didn't head back, she would have to sit in a near by restaurant till almost the time or she sits at the company's reception which is the last thing she would ever do.
Jeff frowned.
"What meeting?" He asked.
It's not as if he forgot about the meeting but the only meeting he remembered having today is still in two hours time.
"I've you forgotten about the meeting?" She asked surprised.
She has mixed feelings. She was sad and glad at the same time. Her sadness was because Jeff never forgets a meeting and she think this was caused by Kim who was dragging him out to go have fun with her while at work.
She was also happy because Jeff will not go anywhere if he recollect that there is a meeting scheduled and this will ruin Kim's plan. Ruining Kim's plan alone made her happy.
"Isn't that suppose to be in two hours time?" He asked checking his wristwatch as if to affirm what he said.
The way he looked at her rendered her speechless. She just nodded in agreement.
All through their conversation Kim just stayed glued to her husband. She didn't even make a sound. If not that she was visible, it would have been like she wasn't there.
Jeff just wrapped his hand round Kim's waist and then proceed to enter the car.
Kim looked at ignored Lucy with pity. She wonder why she wouldn't give up but soon she remembered the family emergency and it got her mind occupied.

Lexie was eating heartily her living room when she got the mind link. Being that she was pregnant and hasn't told her husband about it, she has a lot of things to hide.
One was her sudden ravenous attitude. She gets hungry so sudden and would eat a lot. She's someone who doesn't eat so much and if she suddenly begins to eat so heavily, her husband might be scared.
So this made her position food at strategic places so as to help herself out quickly before she gets caught. She wouldn't even let her housekeeper know been that she might tell her husband.
Before the mind link, she went to make herself a large bowl of instant noodles and was eating heartily. She was almost done when the message came so she quickly finished up and then went to her room to change her clothes after she tidied the place.
It would have been easy for her to get out but then husband was around today. He in his study, so she went up to tell him about the emergency.
"Hey baby" she said with a huge smile.
She didn't in any want to hint him that she is in a hurry. She knowing he would ask even to the slightest details of what she wants to go do and might even want to go with her.
She hated lying to him but when it's about her family's secret, she trusts no man, not even her husband.
Kyle smiled when he saw her. He pulled her into his arms.
"Going out?" He asked like a whisper.
She nodded like a child.
"Yes I want to go see mum" she replied.
"Why so sudden?"
" Do you remember the client I told you was going to come from the Washington?" She asked.
He gave a nod.
" He is around and I need to go see him quickly" she replied.
Kyle gave a childish frown.
" I'm home today darling, shouldn't you stay with me all day? You can see your client another day, maybe tomorrow" He said playing with the button of her blouse.
She smiled removing his hand from her button.
"He's returning back to his place this evening if not mum wouldn't have bothered to disturb me. You know how huge that contract is for me" she said with so much excitement.
Kyle became helpless when he saw the happy look on her face. He then made a pitiable look.
"Ok don't be late" he gave up.
"I'll be back before you know it" she said giving him a peck.
" Ok" he hugged her tightly not ready to release her.
"C'mon Kyle, it's nit as if I wouldn't return" she called laughing.
"Ok" he said defeatedly and released her.
She stood up and walked out but stopped at the door to blow him a kiss and she left.
He stared at the door even though he couldn't see his wife. Anytime she heads to her house he feels awkward.
Her family were the most awkward. They wouldn't give him a warm welcome anytime he goes there. He always sees the Devikings family as people that has huge pride and doesn't know how to love.
Their cold faces and voice wouldn't even let him move closer. If not that he knew he couldn't stop his woman from visiting her family, he would have.
