Chapter 47
Eden’s POV
“Hello Miss Quinn.”
“Hi Eden.”
“It been a while since you last showed up here,”
“Yea I have been busy planning and preparing for my upcoming birthday because I want it to be the talk of town,”
“You really deserve a talk of town birthday party,”
“Yea, I know right,” I could smell pride in her words.
“Where is Hunter?”
“He is in the gym space,”
“Thank you
H
She walked her way to the gym space while I went back to what I was doing in the kitchen.
I was done setting the table for dinner by the time Mr Hunter and Miss Quinn came out.
She sniffed 1, “The scent of the meal lingering in the air is mesmerizing to my nose,” Miss Quinn complimented.
“I will take that as a compliment,”
We all sat and dug into the meal we quietly ate and enjoyed the flavor of the meal.
“Uhmm! The food even tastes better than I thought, I know I have never told you that your meals are always tasty and delicious,”
“Thank you,”
We finished up the eating and I cleared the table and washed the dishes.
Miss Quinn and Mr Hunter were seated glued to each other on the couch.
I picked up my things to go home.
“Eden, do you have a boyfriend?” Miss Quinn asked.
It was an unexpected stunt she pulled, which almost got me choked with my spit
My gaze locked in Hunter’s and he seemed not to be disturbed, he looked like he was ready for whatever answer I was about to give.
I know that whatever answer I will give to her will be a lie.
“No.”

Chapter 47
Wh. what did I said that I don’t have a boyfriend!! Of course have a boyfriend, how can I not have a boyfriend?” i stuttered a fake smile tugged on my lips.
“Who doesn’t have a boyfriend in this twenty–first century. I added with a shaky voice.
“Oh! Eden, you have a boyfriend?” He asked surprisingly.
I took a quick glance at his face but he looked so calm with no worries though he sounded surprised.
What if I mention his name as the boyfriend, will he deny it? Or would he accept that he is my boyfriend, I shoved the thought.
“Baby you’re surprised too? Don’t tell me that you’ve never met him?” She asked in his face,
“You know Eden is the shy type, I guess she didn’t want me to know,” he explained.
“Yea. I guess 30,
1 stood there looking at the both of them conversing about my relationship life.
“Your boyfriend must really be an understanding guy, I mean with all your busy schedules in the office and around here, how much of your time does he get? I’m sure you have a very good record of canceled dates,” she took her gaze away from him and buried them on me.
“Your weekends are pretty much busy. I really am feeling for the poor guy,” she muttered
“Yes he really understands me and I couldn’t have asked for a better man,”
I saw how Mr Hunter swallowed heavily and I wish I knew what was going in that head of his.
“Well you might be wondering why I asked you this question, I have sent you my birthday invitation card and it is a two in
one card, meaning you must have a plus one before you will be allowed access into the event space,
“So you can inform your boyfriend and I’m sure that will buy the both of you a good time together, so look your best darling,” she winked.
“Oh, yea thank you and
that was very thoughtful of you.
“Let me get going, the place is getting darker,” I said just when she was about to say more.
“Yea, you should,”
“Let me get the car key and take you home,” he said, raising her head away for his laps.
“No, no, no sir you don’t have to do that, I can find my way myself.”
“No, I will drive you,”
“Baby, allow her to be, since she said she can find her way herself Miss Quinn held him back
“Yes sir, she’s right and meanwhile you cannot go out and live her here all by herself, it’s night and anything can happen.”
“Are you sure Eden?”
“Yes sir, Thank you,”
“Good night,
“Good night Eden, have a good night rest,”

“Thank you.”
I vacated the space and stepped into the dark street.
The chirping of crickets and sound of moving wheels from the few cars that passed was all I could hear.
Hmm.. Who is the boyfriend I’m attending the birthday with?
537
Π
I thought and thought and I decided to call Trevor, he is the only that I could think of, though I have been avoiding him for a while now.
I dipped my hand into my handbag to bring out my ringing phone.
“Hello mom, good evening.”
“Good evening Eden, how was your day?”
“Very well, thank you.”
“Mom hope all is fine, that you’re calling me this late,”
“I thought that this will be the perfect time to get you pick my call, previously I have called during the day with no answer so I decided to change pattern,”
Ahh!
Mom,
“How is Daddy?”
Η
“Your daddy is fine, you know I know how to take care of my husband,” I could hear her chuckle.
“Talk of husband…”
Oh no mommy please don’t do this, I still haven’t gotten over Miss Quinn’s stunt and here you are getting started with yours, I complained in my head.
“When are you getting married,”
“Mama..not again, we have talked about this countless times, that at the right time I will get married,”
“Eden there is no other right time other than now or would you rather you get married at old age,”
“Come off it mom, I will get married at the right time,”
“Mom, I need to go to bed,”
“Good night mom,”
“You always try to ignore this talk,”
“Mom. I have had you and I need to rest,”
“Okay,
“Good night,”
“My kisses to Daddy,”
Chapter 47
“Bye.”
I had been leaning on the wall beside my apartment’s door.
1 hung up the call and I opened the door, I went into the apartment.
“Ugh…” I sighed audibly.
I lay flat on the couch and picked my phone to dial Trevor’s number.
