"I can't wait to meet her. Helen sends her regards. She will be there tomorrow too." Bayo said.

"Okay. Bye." And Demilade hung up. His friends can be pests.

"We are here sir." The driver said.

"Okay." He said to the driver. "Let's go Uche." She quickly packs the files and her tablet before coming down after him.

Later that night after dinner when he returned the house was quiet again. He didn't see Lola and he have to tell her about their dinner the following day. So he decided to go check her in her room.

Lola could not sleep, so she change into her nightwear and logged into her social media to chat with her friends on their group chat. She had a group chat on Whatsapp with her seven friends. They created it to keep in contact with each other after high school.

She was still chatting and laughing when she heard the knock on the door. It was very surprising. She quickly texted something on her phone and she climbed down from the bed to open the door.

She turned the knob and opened the door and she was shocked to see Demilade. He was still in his suit. But the blazer was in his hand and the two buttons of his shirt were open. And he also has a frown on his face.

"You are back. Welcome." She said and he nodded.

"Sorry, I snapped at you yesterday." He said. Lola looked at him.

"If you don't want to apologize it's okay. I'm not forcing you." She said bluntly.

"What?" He asked exasperated.

"You know what. You said the word but your every expression says otherwise."

"And what are you? A sociologist or a psychologist?" Demilade asked and he huffed.

She was getting him angry. He didn't know that she was so sharp-mouthed. He won't have agreed to this deal if he knew she had this annoying side of her.

"Whatever you call it. What do you come here to do anyway?" She asked wanting him to leave already.

"Last I remember this is my house. And I could do a damn thing I like. I can also go anywhere in it too." He said.

It was obvious he was angry. And she wondered why. She is the one who is supposed to be angry. He came to apologize without meaning what he said. What did he take her for?

A fool.

An idiot.

A daft.

She was the one who was supposed to be angry not him. But she decided to be quiet. She doesn't want any more problems and useless arguments. So she let him say whatever he had come to say.

"I will be back early tomorrow. We will be going to a dinner of a friend." He said.

"A dinner. What is that?" She asked with a sneer.

"A family gathering like a small party. Only a few people are allowed there. You should dress well. So till tomorrow." He said and he left without saying goodnight.

Lola heaved a sigh and walked back to her room, closing the door. She felt a little sad. She want to become used to Demilade attitude but it was hard.

He sees her so little. She thought if all rich people are like that. She didn't even try p to pretend to be someone else. She was herself to him.
