SAVE ME

Chapter 19

Ricardo White

Today went pretty well, seeing as I was able to close a few major deals.

"Thank you very much, Ricardo, I look forward to working with you in the next few years," Mr. Atolo said as we stood and shook hands.

"Pleasure sir, you won't regret working with us," I tell him and he nods his head.

"Okay son, see you later," he said and left the office.

After the successful meeting, I decided to check up on Morgan and Richard, I couldn't wait to tell them the good news. When I called, Morgan told me Richard was taking her to Gale Hall where she will meet with Ann and they can go home together. She also promised to call me back.

I got home fifteen minutes after seven in the evening and I was so tired from today's work. I also have to read for tomorrow's paper but today was really awesome, I just feel so giddy.

"I need to take a shower" I muttered under my breath and did just that.

When I was inside my room, I went on my knees and prayed to GOD. I asked for forgiveness of every sin I committed and for the times I didn't pray, then I thanked him for today and how smoothly it was for me, for his provision at all times, protection even when I didn't pray for it, his abundance of blessings and just everything.

I got up when I was through with praying, then took off my shirt before grabbing a towel and heading inside my bathroom to take that shower. I was done in a few minutes and came inside my bedroom to hear my phone ringing, I went closer to check who it was and saw Morgan's name on the screen. I was going to answer when it stopped ringing.

I checked and saw about three missed calls from Morgan so I sat on my bed and dialed her number, she picked up after two rings.

"Hey, babe," I said as I stood up and walked to my closet to get myself something to wear tonight.

"Hy Ric, how are you?" Morgan's sweet voice says on the other end and I felt my heart did some kind of summersault then that sweet warmness spread through my chest.

"I am good, how are you?" I asked her then placed my phone on the table close to the closet then put it on loudspeaker.

"I am great too, how was the meeting?" she asked and I grinned.

I wish she was here to see how happy I am with how the day ended. I asked her to give me a minute as I entered my closet to wear my sweatpants and white shirt. When I was done, I took my phone and walked back to my bed before settling down on it and taking my phone off the loudspeaker.

"It went well," I say "Mr. Atolo agreed to continue with the contract and I am so happy with his choice. He is one of those big investors that I wanted to work with for a really long time, so when I heard that he needed upcoming businesses to invest in, I grabbed the opportunity and here we are" I explained to her.

"It will do 'Ric Textile' a whole lot of good," she said what was on my mind and I agreed with her. "I am so happy for you Ricardo, I have watched how you and your brother grew this company even though I met you when you already started the business, I remember how gradually your company grew and it's slowly expanding, I am happy for you," she said and it warmed my heart to hear those words from her.

"Thank you, babe," I thanked and she giggled.

"You're welcome, see why I have always told you not to underestimate your company or yourself and what you carry"

"See, one of the reasons I fell deeply for you," I said to her, and can already imagine the blush now staining her cheeks as I talk. I heard some sound in the background "You aren't home?"
