SIMI'S POV

After the meeting I had with the executive board, I actually didn't believe I was talking to the owner of the company I had worked for, for more than six years.

Were all exchanging greetings and pleasantries when someone walked up to me. A tall guy in neat suit, one of the guys I used to admire some years ago.

Derik

"Derik!...Oh My gosh you look___"

"__Ravishing?" He cuts in with a smile, and I laugh at his regular normal cockiness, "Well I'm not so ravishing compared to you...Just look at you Simi, you look beautiful"

"I know" I laugh, well it's obvious that I'm gonna look different after more than ten years, "So Derik...Been a while"

"Yeah, ten years really is something....When I heard that you were the new head of project, I wasn't shocked because I know your determined nature can get you anywhere"

I let out a smile, "I'm flab" dramatically putting my hand on my chest and he immediately laugh at my funny gesture

"So..."

"So what?..."

Ohw I missed out a tiny piece of detail. Derik used to be my boyfriend from High school to collage but he didn't finish university with me. He travelled to the US and completed his education and that's technically the last time I've seen him.

"Simi you know you and I had something...Seeing you here means that we were actually meant to be"

"Look Derik__"

"___Simi I still have feelings for you" pushing up my chin to look him directly in the face. His face was filled with memories of how we loved each other, how we always.....

....Well, that's over.

I'm in love with IK and he's been a wonderful boo. "Derik I'm sorry but you and I....Can't just work out"

"What do you mean?__"

But got interrupted when IK slid his hand on my waist, pulling me closer to him, he planted a kiss on my cheek before turning to Derik who was standing right in front of me.

"Baby, who's your friend?"

"Errm, IK...Meet Derik" I said with a smile, then I turned to Derik who had this strange look on his face, "Derik meet my boyfriend IK"

They both shook their hands and I could feel the coldness of the greeting, "Baby I'll catch you up later I wanna go speak to someone" He said, leaving me with Derik who just shot me this look.

"What!" I blurted out

"Your dating the MD?...Simi is it because of his money!?..Ohw I get it, it's him that took you to this level"

I'm sick and tired of people thinking I'm after IK's money, com'on my father is Chief Wale Bello and I'm not one of those runs babe that date or sleep with guys because of their fucken money.

I glare into Deriks brown eyes, "Listen to me Derik, I am Simisola Bello, first child of Chief Wale Bello....Don't you forget that, and IK loves me and I love him too...With or without money....Ohw and guess what too?...You and I are over, get that into your thick skull....Derik Nnowsu I will not tolerate that insult ever again...Try not to forget all what I just said" eyeing him from head to toe before walking out on him

I meet IK discussing with some men and I cling onto him till we finally left, heading to the hotel. There was an awkward silence in the car and I could guess that something was on his mind.
