WHAT IF

           ************************

                  Indeed , Valerie knew how to handle her business men, but where were the lies . much as she hadn't planned this , it was to their advantage.
Now that the big man Mr Smith was convinced and he bought the idea who else wouldn't , if Mr Smith has bought meaning her own father has bought , Andrew's mother goes by what her husband decides most of the time meaning she has bought as well including Andrew who was already okay with it before even getting any good reason as to why he should be okay . And finally when the Smith family is okay with it then Valerie's mother is already convinced , she lives to make sure the Smith are okay so she benefit from them , so why would she still throw a fist after the Smith are so cool about it .
                 Mr Smith was never the kind to dwell on something for long , he immediately began bringing up different conversation about many more things. Andrew was never the kind to have a lot to talk about with his father but Valerie kept up with his conversations , somewhere they even argued to both prove their points , Mr Smith become more comfortable with her , they laughed hard making Valerie herself laugh loud. Their acquaintance was unexpected but was good after all , Andrew quietly watched the both of them ,especially his father laugh even harder.

                    " this my father in law is quite a cheat " Valerie laughed ,her smile so wide .
                    " they were never rules " he argued back .
                    " oh heavens " Valerie shouted
                    " I am sorry , let's do this again " Mr Smith calmly . they both smiled , Valerie nodded her head accepting as she laughed
This was a beautiful  scenery to watch  especially to Andrew , never once as he grew seen his father like this , if not mistaken they have never taken time to seat together ,talk or laugh as one.
                   " Are you always this nice " Valerie asked Mr Smith .
                   " am I being nice " Me Smith asked
                   " extremely " Andrew said it for Valerie.
                   " I just want to thank you Valerie " Mr Smith softly and seriously said .
The room was quiet again, Andrew looked at the father clueless , so was Valerie herself
                    " for what Mr Smith" she asked  
                    " even words can't explain how thankful I am , thats why I try to you too " Mr Smith said deeply.
                    " so don't hesitate with me too " he added then stood up grabbing his coat .
He smiled at her then walked away , Andrew leaned back his eyes down at his feet , he looked like he knew what his father was talking about . Valerie looked at him waiting for him to say a thing but does not seam like he will say a word .
Door knock .
                     " come in " Andrew ordered
Immediately Miss Ann came in . Jordy in followed as well .
                    " good morning Mr Smith " they politely said
                    " good morning " he said back cross legging , he was not happy with both of them
                     " good morning Mrs Smith " They said to Valerie.
                     " good morning " she said as well.
Miss Ann walked close to her ,she as well had brought some food .
                     " it's your favorite " she said unwrapping the food box.
Valerie looked at her speechless , some how these guys knew her so well much as they seamed  bothered about her living or her existence in their lives .
                      " do you not like it " Miss Ann asked so concerned.
                      " is not not having appetite " Jordy asked as well .
                      " she has just eaten " Andrew answered for her .
                      " oh ,okay " Miss Ann said
                      " no ,no I will have it " Valerie said , she was touched by the fact that miss Ann cared ,bothered to even cook her favorite meal .
                      " you don't have to force it in " Miss Ann said
                      " I will have it , it's my favorite anyway " she smiled pulling the food close to her .

                      Miss Ann ,Jordy and Mr Smith were not the only visitors of the day, Amanda came too even slept by her side as they talked about this and that , they would have been more free about Andrew was around ,seated his eyes on them , Andrew positioned himself in the corner seated on his laptop though his eyes were on Valerie and her visitors .
Paris as well came by , Andrew's secretary and driver also came by .As they entered they hadn't noticed Andrew around , they entered the room happily and the smiles disappeared on seeing Andrew .
                   " Mr Smith " they called worriedly , Valerie was giggling wanting to laugh out loud
                    " don't mind me " Andrew said putting his attention back to his laptop screen ,
                    " Valerie!!! " they called
Andrew shocked by the fact that they call her by her name , they sat besides her on the bed talking and making her giggle a bit , Andrew raised his eyes at them surprised at the kind of connection she had with his people .
He has grown up with his People like Jordy and his secretary , grown up seeing Miss Ann but he has no connection with them ,not even know that much about their personal likes .
Even to his own father ,that time of ever being there with them to laugh ,talk or joke has never been there .
With time even Leon himself came by , he opened the door entering ,he stood at the door looking at her on her bed as she rested , actually she was awake ,she turned her head looking at him with a smile , Leon smiled as well.
                    " well you look so good there on that bed ,I wonder why you don't make it your new occupation " Leon said calmly ,with a wide smile .
Andrew's attention was immediately got by the voice speaking . Valerie laughed at Leon's comment
                  " and how will I earn " Valerie smiled
                  " am sure many people will pay just to see the sleeping beauty goddess " Leon said , his wide smile still intact
                 " people like who " Valerie laughed .
                 " obviously me , I would pay a lot ahhh and that annoying ,jealous husband of yours will pay as well " Leon said , he was not aware that Andrew ,the annoying ,jealous husband he was referring to was around .
Valerie laughed with Leon . Andrew quietly listening to his words , Valerie laughing at Leon knowing Andrew is around .
                  " so I will have only two clients , you and Andrew " Valerie said
                  " you don't need many , just us two who love you the most am sure we can pay highly " Leon said , Valerie not sure about both of them loving her ,recently she would believe Leon but after her mother's words she is questioning his love as well .
                  " but just so you know ,we may both love you but I love you more than that jerk " Leon laughed .
Andrew smiled as well , which left me wondering why Andrew was smiling at Leon's words or he was looking at something interesting in his screen.
