Tola
I hang up with Kyle and toss my phone. I canât believe heâd think I want Alex in my room. I turn my phone off because it keeps ringing with Kyleâs ringtone. Iâve always told him the truth. Never lied to him. Why would he think I want Alex with me?
I am still fuming when Yanju walks into my room.
âTola, what is wrong?â
âK-y-l-e,â I shout, grunting.
âIs he okay?â She sounds very concerned.
âHe thinks Iâm letting Alex in my bedroom. Why the hell would he think that?â I shout, pacing to control my anger.
My sister takes her time to sit, giving me the weird look.
âWhat, Yanju!â I exclaim as she gives a sarcastic chuckle.
âWhat, Yanju!â I repeated
âTola, take a second to put yourself in his shoes. If he didnât love you, do you think he would care youâre meeting with Alex?â
I slump onto the chair across from her.
âTola, give Kyle some credit. Heâs still with you even with all the clauses, you added to your relationship. He canât kiss, hold, or touch you in public. He watches you talking to Alex. Really, how many guys will take that?â She pauses before continuing. âHeâs hanging in, hopeful thereâs a chance of a future for the two of you together. I mean, heâs a good-looking guy, and I bet if Kyle declares himself single and available today, the ladies would be readily available to him. Yet, heâs running after you.â
She stares at me as the words sink in.
âI know he doesnât like to fly. Thatâs why I told him itâs not necessary for him to come to New York,â I state calmly, realizing Yanju is right.
âLet him come if heâs willing to fly.â
âThank you, Yanju.â
âYouâre welcome. Are you ready to go?â
âGive me just a second to talk to Claire.â I go to my bedroom, call Claire to make arrangements for Kyle. I will see him tomorrow and apologize.
Kyle
My phone chimes with a message from Tolaâs PA during my day. âPrincess Tola asked me to send you these details about your visit to New York.â
I open the attachment to find a full detail of her schedule for the day and her hotel room number, along with information on how to get my key card to her room and Claireâs information to assist me once I arrive.
I try calling her, but instead she replies with a text. âIn a meeting, canât talk right now.â
âIâm sorry about last night.â I text back.
âI know, me too,â she replies.
I then look at her schedule and notice she will be at a board meeting. I immediately call Sara to book me a flight to New York and begin to tidy up the loose ends before passing on the work to Ben.
âSo, you are really flying to New York,â Ben states as he walks into my office.
âIf I had a choice before, I no longer have one now,â I tell him.
âKyle, get to the point and stop twisting my head,â he says, slumping into the chair.
âWe had a fight last night, and since then she has refused to take my calls.
