She removed extra 50k and gave it to Celia. "When the boys return take them to the restaurant close by to eat.
"Ok ma" Celia replied. Simone then stepped into her office to properly apply her makeup when she saw a message on her phone.
" How are you and how is my baby" . Simone was triggered as she instantly deleted the message.
"Alex, what does he want"
Simone's heart raced as she deleted the message from Alex, leaving her feeling a mixture of emotions. The sudden intrusion of her past into her present moment with Emeka stirred up memories and uncertainty.
As she applied her makeup in the office, Simone couldn't help but think about Alex and the history they shared. Her mind wandered back to a time when things were different, and the mention of "my baby" in Alex's message brought forth a rush of complicated feelings.
Simone had moved on from that part of her life, building her business and exploring the possibility of love with Emeka. Yet, the message from Alex served as a reminder that the past sometimes has a way of resurfacing when least expected.

Despite her efforts to push aside the lingering thoughts of her past, they continued to linger like shadows in the corners of her mind.
As she sat with Emeka, trying to focus on the present moment, Simone found herself wrestling with conflicting emotions. She wanted to fully embrace this budding relationship with Emeka, but the unresolved feelings stirred up by Alex's message threatened to cast a shadow over their time together.
