Will they finally accept their love after discovering the truth about themselves. Read to discover how Anthony address the situation.
On the third floor of L.H. Group, Lerisa Jonah stood up from her executive secretary seat as she had finished her office work for the day.
She worked as Anthony Gregson's secretary, so she stepped out of her office seat and picked up her black handbag from her desk, ready to go home.
Lerisa was a fair-complexioned young lady, 24 years old, wearing a yellow shirt, black pencil skirt, and black shoes. She wondered why she hadn't seen Anthony leave his office.
She knew that Anthony usually closed by 5 pm and left the company before 6 pm, which was the company's normal closing hour.
Similarly, she made her way toward Anthony's office door to find out what was still delaying her boss, as it was already after 6 pm, and most of the staff had gone home.
Approaching Anthony's office door, Lerisa knocked and heard him respond, "Come in."
She pushed Anthony's office door slightly open, stepped into his office, and saw him seated on his executive office chair, staring at a red ring box in his hands.
Lerisa's heart dropped the moment she saw the beautiful, sparkling diamond ring in Anthony's hand.
She knew at that moment that Anthony was in a very serious relationship with Clara Harry and that he would soon propose to her.
Lerisa felt like crying out as she was also secretly in love with Anthony, but she couldn't tell him the truth as she wasn't brave enough to do so.
Her face immediately turned red with sadness, and she looked downward to hide the saddened expression.
Anthony was busy admiring the diamond ring in the box, not shifting his gaze to look at Lerisa.
They were childhood best friends due to their fathers' past closeness. Lerisa's father was Anthony's father's former assistant and had helped in building the shoe company, which now belonged to Anthony.
Lerisa knew that Clara Harry was a cheat and not deserving of a man like Anthony. She had seen Clara several times behind Anthony's back, flirting with different men, but she couldn't bring herself to advise Anthony to stop dating Clara.
Lerisa had witnessed Clara visiting Anthony in his office and caught them kissing too, which made her heart sink, knowing that Anthony was seriously in love with Clara.
Anthony was a 30-year-old black man. He wore a black suit with a red shirt and black shoes, which made him look handsome.
He had a short mustache and beard that enhanced his looks and made him appear charming.
Anthony finally looked at Lerisa's face and saw her looking downward in his office. He wondered what she wanted since he had already seen her for the day.
He had forgotten that his company had closed as he was busy admiring the ring he had bought. He intended to propose to Clara the next day.
"What do you want, Lerisa?" Anthony inquired.
"I... I..." Lerisa stuttered, unable to say why she was in his office, sounding heartbroken at the sight of the lovely ring.
She had come to tell Anthony she was going home, but Anthony didn't look up at her face again. He was busy admiring the diamond ring and wondering if Clara would like it.
Anthony asked her, "How do you see this ring, Lerisa? Remember I invited you and the rest of our staff to attend my birthday party tomorrow, at my family's house? Well, I want to propose to Clara tomorrow. But I don't know if she will accept this beautiful diamond ring that I ordered from abroad. I do love Clara. What do you think, Lerisa? Do you think that Clara will love this ring and accept it? I bought it to prove my love to her."
Lerisa's heart broke even more at Anthony's insensitive question.
She saw him smiling sweetly at the ring. As Anthony continued looking at it, she replied, "I thought you had closed, Sir. That's why I'm here to collect the office key from you. But it seems like you're not yet ready to go home."
Anthony immediately noticed the sadness in Lerisa's voice.
He shut the red ring box in his hands and stood up from his office chair. He walked over to her and asked, "What's wrong, Lerisa?"
Lerisa turned her back on Anthony as hot tears streamed down her face.
She couldn't tell him the truth, that she was in love with him. Anthony only saw her as a sister, though they were unrelated.
"What's wrong, Lerisa?" Anthony finally approached Lerisa, turning her around to face him.
Lerisa felt the sparks, but Anthony ignored them, looking intently at her face.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" he asked again sternly, and Lerisa shuddered in his hold but shook her head to indicate nothing.
She lied to him, "Nothing, Sir. I only came here to tell you that I'm going home. The company has closed for the day, and to collect the office key from you."
"Sir?" Anthony asked, as he continued to stare at Lerisa's face coldly. His eyes squinted in pain at her.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me sir, Lerisa? You're like a sister to me, not just a staff member here," Anthony said, and Lerisa shuddered, hating when he reminded her that she was like a sister to him.
Anthony's office door opened, and his assistant Mark Terry stepped in.
Mark looked surprised to see Anthony holding Lerisa's arms firmly, close to his chest. Anthony did not look at him and was busy staring at Lerisa's face.
'Do they want to kiss?' Mark wondered, but he quickly composed his expression and apologized, "I'm sorry, boss."
