chapter 39

The next day Neville woke up first. He looked at Elsa sleep and kissed her forehead. He had mixed feelings about her but, he still felt like he loved Elena. Still thinking about Elena his mood brightened just like it brightened the years ago. He picked up his phone and called Elena but she didn't pick, he knew that she was still sleeping, he rushed to the bathroom and freshened up. Elsa woke with all the disturbances Neville was making. Elsa's phone buzzed as she woke up. It was Anne! She didn't bother to pick the call. As Neville got ready Elsa also got out of her bed to get ready for the day. Her phone buzzed repeatedly. ...“You useless lady? Can't you hear the phone buzz?" Neville asked Elsa. “I can buy I don't want to attend it, let it buzz, I don't care!" Elsa yelled from the bathroom, Neville was wearing his tie he was almost perfectly ready. “Bt the way? How was your meet with the new men yesterday?" Neville asked with a dark look on his face while adjusting his tie looking in the mirror. “I didn't go! Elsa yelled from the bathroom. “Then why was all that attitude about." Neville laughed and asked her. “you don't need to know that Mr. Lobo." She said in a joking way. “I mean this men weren't my type." She said making herself comfortable on the toilet seat.  “Then what is your type?" Neville asked pressing his forehead with his right hand. “A super handsome loyal chap, with good kissing skills and highly educated, well you can understand right? Mr. Neville?" Elsa said teasingly. “Damn woman!" Neville yelled. She came out after getting fresh and picked an olive green dress, “perfect." she said. Neville was taking on the phone with someone while she went back to the bathroom and wore the dress, and came right back out. As she came out Neville looked at her. “You are curvy!" He said, resisting his urge to take her into his arms. ...“Do you need me to drop you somewhere?" Neville asked, in a polite tone. “No no... Gale will be here I'll go with her to her herbal clinic and then be back with some fresh herbs for grandy. I guess after yesterday's treatment he will be fine, and we don't need to continue this drama all this while long. I guess we can get back towards our divorce proceedings. Is that okay?" Elsa said in a firm tone hiding the tears in her eyes. “Okay as you wish. Let's see first what Grandy says isn't it?" Neville said forcing a smile on his face. Suddenly Nevile recieved a call from Xavier, which he picked quickly. “Nevilleeeeeeeee! So what about a fine football match... Tell me are you coming? It's today evening, uhhh ... No choice you need to." Xavier yelled in excitement from the other side of the phone. “okay okay cool down cool down, bt the way seriously Xav ... I didn't want to deny this offer but I have a really important meeting scheduled with the top tier business tycoon of a great company in London, so ... I wouldn't be able to make it." “Oh! ... You will miss the fun then." “What's up then? What is it Xav tell me fast." Neville enquired....“ Nothing is just that Denver Rayan Borges has just returned from ... Abroad and, he wanted to see you. You know that he too had an important business meeting schedule today, but he is cancelling it for you?" Xavier added. “For me?" “yes for you Neville, for you." ” ok then I'll be there, but now I'll go to the office to see that my subordinates are doing. “okay okay, so be there by today evening." Xavier said. “Sure."  Neville said, and smiled. Elsa looked at Neville as he hung up the call. And Neville picked up his laptop, he got a notification on his phone which said, “Rorges Perfume co. Has postponed the business collaboration meeting, for tomorrow's working day. Thank you." Neville was happy that the meeting got postponed on its own. ...Neville looked at Elsa who was now sitting on the bed wearing the olive green dress. She looked stunning, in it. Neville walked out towards the breakfast table. This tone grand dad was sitting on the table too, Elsa also went behind Neville. Neevan and Venessa were also sitting there. Elsa walked downstairs and Neevan looked at her. “tip top heels 👠 she looks like... " Venessa pinched Neevan because those words were coming from his mouth for another woman, that too a woman she disliked. Nancy had prepared scrambled eggs for breakfast, which were eaten by slice bread. ...“Neville Elsa meet me in my room after breakfast." Grand dad said. Both nodded and agreed. Everyone finished their breakfast and dispersed. Neville and Elsa walked towards grandfather's room. Elsa was busy thinking about what grand dad was going to say. She looked at Neville and sighed. They knocked on the door and entered the room. Grand dad cleared his throat, and said, “When are you thinking about the condition I put forword infront of you both?" He asked. Elsa and Neville looked down in disbelief and then they looked at each other. Elsa looked at Grand dad, and in that mean time Neville answered, “No! I don't  want to do you yet! Grandad." Grandad looked at Neville with fat eyes. Neville looked down at the floor. “I have a football match with Xavier, Denver and team." He told Grandy. “No you aren't going for the match!" Grand dad announced. ...“But I planned it! With them." Neville looked at him the same way as he looked at him when he was a kid. “Okay. You go... But don't dare talk to me unless you think about my condition. And Neville I know what I am doing." Grand dad said. Again Elsa's phone buzzed, it was Anne. This time she picked the call, and went outside the room to talk,  “What is it Madame Anne? Didn't you get it ? that I don't wish to talk to you." “ I have a good news for you ... You need to come home for, dear Elena's engagement with Neville Lobo, tomorrow." Anne announced in excitement. “What? But it divorce isn't done yet then how can that be possible? And Nev didn't tell me anything about this..." Elsa asked Anne baffled. After which Anne hung up the call.
