Maybe I love you (A Best Friends College Romance)

Chapter 21

ALEXIS POV

I had come home last week and gosh!  I realized how was much I had missed home most especially my parents when they both pulled me into a hug.

My parents had actually reconciled and settled their disputes. I knew they were very much in love with each other. If there's anything I'm grateful to God for, it's for averting the impending divorce they were about to have. Thank God dad apologized to mum. That was the only thing that solved the whole problem.

"Alexis!" Mum called from downstairs and I ran to meet her.

"Have you gone to greet Mrs Gloria? She's been asking about you. She returned yesterday night and I told her you were back." Mum informed.

"I'll go there right away. Is she home now?" I asked and she hummed a yes.

I quickly went into my room to wear a bra. Trust me when I say that bras are painfully my worse pairs of clothing even though I have to wear it before going out as a woman. The feeling of letting that mould of flesh loose is surely heaven. Buh what can I do? I have to look elegant and presentable as a woman at least mum always says that.

I wear my slippers and pack my long knotless braids into a ponytail. I'm not a fan of long braids but I have to do that at least cause dad said we would visit someone later in the week and it sounded like a serious something so I had to make the hair. I pick up my phone and rush to her apartment. Mrs Gloria and I are actually close, according to her I'm like the daughter she always wanted.

I'm at the gate and I'm about to knock on the door when Nathan came outside the house. He wasn't in the best mood though and I don't know why. He opened the door for me and muttered a 'hi' before stepping outside the gate. I wonder what's wrong. I walk into the living room only to meet the one and only Chief Okazie in the living room. I can count the number of times I've met him since we parked into this apartment.
He's very good looking and I'm very sure his sons definitely got their height and athletic body build from him. He's a very wealthy man and he's one of the top 10 richest men according to the Forbes record and stuff. The media portrays him as the perfect man, perfect father and all but he seems far from it. 

"Good afternoon sir!" I greeted while genuflecting as an act of respect and his gaze fell on me. His eyes landed on my exposure thighs and went up to my boobs. Is he supposed to be staring at me this way???

Is he always this perverted?

All I could see in his eyes was lust.

"Uhm.... Sir..?" I interrupted his screening section and he brought his eyes to my face and I almost scoffed at that. What sort of a man is this? I can't afford to disrespect him cause he has affluence and when I say this I mean it. My parents aren't even close to him in terms of Fame, money and power and that's why I wonder most times how his children manage to be humble and nice to everyone. Well Nathan is not so nice but is definitely better than some average rich kids I know. You know the types that just smell thousands of naira and claim like they're on top of the world.

"You are Mr Anosike's daughter I suppose?" He asked and I nodded nervously and he licked his lips.

Gawd! This is getting awkward.

"You've grown into a beautiful young woman." He said with a grin, a grin that looked more like that of Raymond's even though Raymond was way more sexier than this annoying old man.

"Nathan! Nathan!... Who's there?" I heard Mrs Gloria's voice as she approached us. I mentally thank God for saving me from the presence of this man. I've never had a conversation with him, this is the first time and I honestly can't say I don't like him!
