"Dad, you claim she left because of a guy but are you also aware that she was brought here because of a guy also?"
Mayfield gave a cynic grown. "That's not true. She was brought here to school" he corrected.
"You think so?" He laughed in mockery. "She was brought here because of me" he smiled stiffly.
Mayfield didn't believe him. "That's not true" he disagreed.
If not that Drew knew his father too well than for him to scheme up anything behind him, he would have believed that his father was part of the plan to marry Jemima to him. He was not really surprised when Jemima came to him and explained everything to him. He wasn't even moved a bit. He told Mayfield how that his friend plot with his daughter to come seduce Drew and get him impregnate her so that she could marry him.
Mayfield was surprised but he quickly got out of it thinking his friend wouldn't do that.
"Are you sure that girl is not trying to make things up so she can make you get her out of the states?" He asked skeptic about the whole story.
"She's got evidence dad" he wore a serious look.
"Romeo said the guy doesn't deserves her" he snapped trying yo defend his friend.
"Because he is not rich?" He asked blankly.
"I don't know the reason for his demur but neither do you. So don't blame him and you can't just judge him with that girls words" he said harshly.
"Dad, you are just trying to support your friend. Moreover you are getting vexed because of an issue that barely concerns you" he said in disdain.
"It does concern me greatly. If anything happens to the girl, I will also be blamed because she was in my care and my naughty son let her slip away".
"Is she pregnant?" He asked suddenly.
Mayfield was taken aback by his question. "Is that your expectation?" He asked with a frown.
"No, just asking" he smiled. "Dad, let this issue be and let them sort themselves out. The advice you should give your friend is to let those lovers be. I don't see any big deal in letting her make her choice. She even told me that she didn't go into that relationship without been counselled. If she trust her counselor then so be it".
"How are you sure she spoke to the right person?"
"That doesn't change the fact that she loves the guy. Can you stop me from marrying the one I love?" The look he gave his father was one of it kind telling him he won't want to do that.
"I can if my spiritual head tells me that it won't work out" he said trying to assure himself than Drew.
"Who did your friend seek advice from?"
"I don't know".
"One a more serious note dad. Advice your friend to let the girl be so as not to push her into another thing. He is trying to give her to me and I'm not in any way interested".
"I already told him that what will be will be" he said.
Drew was grateful to God for the kind of father he has. He will never use his son for his own gain.
"You didn't tell me you can now have visitors" he chanced the topic with a ridiculous look.
"I can't have visitors" he replied.
"Are those ladies not one?"
"They are like sisters to me".
Mayfield gave him a derisive look. "Anyways Pearl came to me".
Drew frowned. "Dad, how many times have I told you to stop entertaining the audience of any lady that comes to you in my name" he wasn't happy at his father.
"This one kept coming and I don't see her as a bad girl" he said stubbornly.
"She's not bad?" He asked with a frown. "If you know the true extent of the chaos that lady is causing for me you won't say she's not bad".
"Just because she is claiming to be your fiancée doesn't tag her bad" he defended.
"You think? See dad, not that girl of all the girl in this earth. She's a green snake under the green grass" he said plainly.
"That's exactly the reason I'm telling you to get married. This will prevent different women from claiming you to be their own' he gave a serious look.
" Dad, don't worry I'm going to bring you a very beautiful woman" he tried to bribe him.
"Are you searching for beauty because I am not. I need a daughter in-law not a beauty" he grimaced.
"Alright I'll bring you a crone then" he said laughing.
"That's your own cup of tea" he eyed him. "I'm leaving" he announced.
"Where to?" He asked with stupidity as if he never knew.
"Where do you think I'm coming from?"
"Come on dad stay a while" he pleaded.
"No I'm going to my house" he declined.
"What is important about your house that you can't leave it?" He asked disdainfully.
"It is the exact importance that is place on yours that makes it highly prohibited for people to visit save few" he said with pride.
Drew burst into laughter. "Don't worry I'll one day kidnap you for a whole month" he teased.
"I'll never allow that. This your so boring environment. I wonder how you do cope" he said firmly.
Drew laughed at his looks.
By the time they got to the sitting room, Somaria and Tyndall were no where to be found.
"Where are your ladies?"
"Maybe they are in the room" he replied. "Wanna say hi?"
"Don't bother to call them. Just say it on my behalf".
When Drew came back, he was told by one if his guys that they were at the pool.
"What are you two talking about with so much enthuse?" He asked as he drew closer to them.
The ladies gave him an excited attention.
"Has dad gone?" Tyndall asked.
Drew nod.
"So soon?" She seems surprised.
"Do you need him for anything?" He asked with scorn.
Tyndall dashed him a stern look.
"Maybe she is interested in your dad" Somaria said with a serious look intentionally teasing her.
"You must be daft" she blurts out.
"C'mon Tin, my dad is really handsome" he laughed.
One of Drew's guys came with his phone. "Sir" he said with a bow.
"Who is that?"
"Miss pearl"
"Didn't you hear the instruction I gave that no one brings this lady's calls to my ears" he bawled.
"Never knew she was the one online when I picked it. She used another line. So I decided to let you know sir" he said
"Who is that?" Tyndall asked quickly.
"Busybody. What's yours?" Somaria scolded.
"Is it one of your fans?" She asked with excitement ignoring her sister.
"This lady is the most annoying human I've ever encounter. She won't just let me have peace of mind" he replied them with a frustrated look.
"What does she want?" Somaria asked with pity.
"What else do a lady wants in a guy" he replied plainly.
"Black list her" Tyndall suggested.
"All she would do is get another line to call me like she did now. She's very frustrating dear. Do you know she canme to the company and proclaimed herself to be my fiancée?"
"What!" The ladies exclaimed.
"The very vexing part is that she doesn't care who the person wants to be, she can beat them up if they are ladies close to me. Now at the office, anytime she finds her way there is trouble" he said with a doleful look.
"Isn't she the lady Melly told us that she beat up Lara sometimes ago?" Somaria asked curiously.
"Who else but that pest" he said with hatred in his eyes. His appearance was so cold. The ladies has never seen such look on him.
