Semua Bab THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU : Bab 111 - Bab 120

Mile’s POVWhile Grayham went to shut the door, I went to the counter and mounted one of the stools. Grayham joined me a few moments later.“Sorry, I didn’t respond to your message immediately. I got it this morning. I turned my phone off because I needed to reflect and…“It’s okay,” Grayham interjected with a smile.I breathed a sigh of relief, plunged my hand into the jacket, and pulled out the phone. Then I stationed it on the counter. After listening to the voice message, I was completely shrouded by guilt and I regretted turning the phone off That’s why I came here the moment I woke up.“Those bastards!”Grayham sighed. “I told you to let me turn on the heat but look what they’ve done.”I arched a brow. “You sure they have a hand in this?”Grayham positioned his hands on the counter. “It’s business, Miles. You either win or lose and trust me, intel on them is bad. Those people would go to the end of the world to get what they want.”For a moment, I looked away to reflect. Isn’t t

Grayham’s POVI was cleaning the countertop when I heard footsteps approaching me.“Have a seat. I’ll be there in a minute.” I said and dropped the cleaning towel, my eyes glued to the counter.“Can I talk to you for a moment?”I lifted my head and wanted to respond to the customer but then I realized that it wasn’t a customer. It was the police chief.I arched a brow and began to wonder. Why would he show up like that without contacting me?When I wrote the undertaking, I dropped my phone number beneath and I had expected the station to call me when they needed me but if they took the liberty to come and get me, I didn’t expect the police chief to do that himself.“You should have called,” I said, and then cleared my throat loudly.He sighed. “I wanted but I should see you myself.”I sighed. “Let me go change then I’ll close down the place and come with you,” I said and was about to turn around.“You’re not coming with me to the station.” The chief interjected.I stopped in my tracks

Miles POVIt’s the second day of renovations and I have just arrived at the house during my lunch break from the office. So far, all work on the second floor will be completed today then the café reconstruction will begin.I walked into the room and made my way up the staircase. The fresh smell of paint took charge of my nostrils and when I reached the second floor, my jaws almost dropped to the floor in amazement.The walls were colored with thick blue paint. I gazed up and caught the POP white ceilings that had just replaced the old and rotten ones.A group of workers glides around carrying a ladder.I smiled and imagined what my father’s reaction would be if he were there.There were a couple of unhinged doors lying on the floor and soon, they’ll be fixed to the various entrance rooms of the second floor.I took another look at the place and made my way toward the third floor. When I reached the door, I tried to open it and then realized that it opened easily.I walked into the roo

Mile’s POVI stepped out of the limousine and then took charge of my briefcase from Sam.“I’ll take it inside, sir.” He tried to protest.“It’s fine. Just head back to your quarters.” I told him and aimed for the building, the briefcase in my hand. I was about to reach the door when Grayham’s Granpa came rushing out. I sighed and hurried toward him.“Sorry, I’m late. There was so much to do today.” I said and glanced at my wristwatch. “Well, at least it’s seven minutes to dinner time so I’m not that late.” I smiled.“Forget about dinner.” He waved one hand down. “She’s here.”“Who?” I tried to look through the entrance.“Felicia. She’s here. She just dropped by the house an hour ago and she didn’t even mention that she was going to come but you know her.” He said.“Yeah,” I replied and then turned away.Grayham had mentioned Felicia. She was his bossy maternal aunt who showed up at the house whenever she wished. Felicia works in finance for a renowned corporate agency so she’s a big s

Mile’s POV“Just a moment,” I said and continued working on my tie.I’m sure Granpa had sent a domestic staff to come get me for breakfast. I didn’t see Felicia for the rest of the night and I’m sure she was still mad at me.Well, maybe it’s a good thing as we will get to avoid each other till she is gone. However, the last thing I wanted to do was cause hostility between Grayham and his aunt.The knock on the door persisted.“I said I’ll be down in a minute,” I said, my voice etched with frustration.A few moments later, the knock came on.I sighed and went to the door to scold the servant who could not comprehend my response.I opened the door and my eyes widened in astonishment.“Aunty Felicia!”She sighed. “Can I come in?”I swallowed hard. “Sure,” I replied and moved aside.She stepped into the room and I followed her. Then she rested her back against the wall. “Looks like you’re getting ready.”“Yeah. Today is Friday so I’ll be back on time and you don’t have to worry about me b
