Married to the President

Chapter 15: She's your friend

Theresa Mo squinted and then smiled. She asked him what he wanted to say? Has he found a woman

he likes? He should say it so that she can celebrate with him.

Lanre smiled. He said she's been seeing the person and even knows her. But before that, he would

like to ask Theresa a few questions.

What does she think about their relationship? He and her alone. Theresa Mo laughed and said they

are friends, and nothing more. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Fine, that's what I want to get straight before I proceed with my information. I have been seeing

someone lately . She's worried and wouldn't want to give her whole being into our relationship despite

knowing we love each other ``Lanre said and Theresa looked at him strangely.

"Does the person know me?" Theresa asked. That's absurd. How can any woman not love Lanre

because of her? How many women know her because she's his friend?

"Yes. She's your friend"Lanre told her. "Is it Rosa?" Theresa Mo asked next and Lanre nodded.

Theresa Mo's eyes welled up in tears. "How could you and Rosa think so despicable of me? You

think I love you and want to start a relationship with you or waiting for you to confess your feelings for

me?

Do I look like some dirty selfish woman Lanre, tell me. Is it wrong that I respect and appreciate your

kindness to me and my kids? Does that give you the false impression that I want you?

I already told Rosa I don't want a man in my life anymore. What can a man do for me better than

having these adorable boys?

Or is it money and fame? Can't I stand and get those things for myself except a man gives me?

You have offended me Lanre but Rosa has bruised my ego. She had trampled upon our friendship

and I will not forgive without being compensated"Theresa Mo was grieved.

Lanre waited for her to finish her words so the recordings got everything down. He shook his head

and said Theresa Mo was taking it too hard.

Actually Rosa was unsure about her feelings and hence dragged her feet backwards on their

relationship.

But he is just asking to make things clearer to her. Talking about compensation, he asked how much

she intends to be given, capable of calming her despaired mood.

Theresa Mo started laughing and Lanre also joined. On this part, the latter paused the recordings.

Theresa Mo said she's happy that the one Lanre bonded with is her friend. She's sure, they both

would make a great couple.

The day after when Rosa listened to the recordings that Lanre gave her, she felt at ease finally. Her

doubts have been cleared and no guilty conscience is poking her.

Two weeks after being in office, Theresa Mo was invited as the senior designer in the Li's Group to

attend an auction for Jewelleries.

Theresa Mo thought about how she's going to pick her kids from school. She called Rosa to take them

home while she would stop over to pick them from her place later that evening.

Rosa was prompt and went to pick them up but decided he was going to buy a few groceries and get

them ice cream.

She told them to wait for her in the car while she got the things she wanted. As soon as Rosa left

them, the kids came out of the car and we're so happy to be free to look at the roads.

The boys were so cute that people kept waving at them and saying hi to them. A couple stopped by

to say hi and how's their parents and the kids said their parents are fine.

They asked them what their names were and they responded accordingly. They waved at them and

went away.

When Rosa returned, they went home together. Theresa Mo was in Company of Julia Li at the

auction when she heard the arrival of Lu Jingli and his wife Tiana Mo.

She saw them walk in with fingers intertwined with each other. They look like a perfect couple and

everyone applauds as they come in.

She walked over to where they were archives to display and studied each design closely. She wants

to learn something new.

Tiana Mo had hardly settled in when she saw Theresa Mo in a white peplum blouse over a straight

blue skirt. She wore high hilled open toes.

She looked corporate and professional with her well built hips. She doesn't seem interested in Who

comes in or goes out, she has just one reason for coming: to see and learn a few things more.

Ex soldier Clinton sighted Theresa Mo and walked up to her. "Theresa Mo" he called and walked to

stand by her side.

The latter turned and saw Me Clinton. She bowed slightly with a smile. The old man was eased and

said he presumed she was looking at the various jewellery designs in the archives and Theresa said

absolutely.

He said he foresaw Theresa Mo becoming one of the best designers in the country within the

shortest possible time. He promised to introduce her to his friends and other members of the

aristocratic families.

Theresa Mo was glad and said she would be grateful if given such rare privilege. That way, Mr

Clinton took Theresa Mo from where she stood and introduced her to his friends.

She's the chief designer of the Li's Group and she has proven herself competent. Julia Li saw

Theresa Mo in Company of Mr Clinton and knew that was going to be a great opportunity for the Li's

Group to get publicised.

Mr Clinton took the mic and said everyone should give him a few minutes to introduce a friend. "This

is Theresa Mo, the chief designer of the Li's Group…"

By the time Mr Clinton ended his introduction,many people already took a liking to her. She got many

admirable stares and applause.

She was given a VIP position and she was seated right beside Julia Li. He bent and whispered "My

brother will return tomorrow and I'm sure would be eager to meet you"

Theresa Mo smiled and said she looked forward to seeing him return safely. She can't wait to see the

President return.

Lu Jingli had lost his composure seeing Theresa Mo sir among the high and classic people. He didn't

know she works with the Li's Group.

His eyes and attention would not leave Theresa Mo and the latter knew it. She saw him staring at her

from her split vision and wondered why he wouldn't pay attention to his wife, sitting beside her.

Tiana almost puked out blood. She's so angry and unhappy with Lu Jingli's behavior. How would he

concentrate on Theresa and not realise he was at the auction with his wife?

"Honey, how about you buy me that Italian designed jewellery?"Tiana demanded, trying to shift his

attention to her.

"No..

yeah.."Lu Jingli stammered and people around looked at him. The man seemed lost in his thoughts

and wasn't ready for the question his wife was going to ask him.

Tiana was embarrassed. Hasn't the sudden reappearance of Theresa Mo brought a curse on her

marriage?

She will have to involve her mother. Someone has to handle Theresa Mo for her if she wants to

protect her marriage.

When that auctioning started, Theresa Mo was one of those in front and saw all the items displayed.

The highest bidder goes home with the item.

The bidding continues until it gets to the Italian jewellery? Tiana tucked at her husband and Lu Jingli

was the first bidder "I'll pay 500 yuan for the jewellery"

As expected, they would give chances to other bidders. And the young master of the Zu family

offered 1 million yuan for the same jewellery.

"1.5million yuan"Lu Jingli proceeded. "2million yaun"the young master from the Zu family went higher.

Everyone clapped for the highest bidder but Lu Jingli wouldn't be looked down on.

"3million yuan"Lu Jingli went and the hall rang with applause. Tiana Mo smiled. Her husband was

going to buy her such expensive jewellery.

"4 million yuan," the young master of the Zu family yelled out. Lu Jingli was beginning to sweat

inwardly. How can he back down now?

He is not so rich like the Zu's family. Mo's business hasn't been doing well recently and he can't

wasn't so many millions of mere jewellery that doesn't cost beyond a few hundreds of yaun.

"Anyone else with a better bidder?" The voice came from the microphone and Tiana's eyes become

Teary. She tucked on Lu Jingli.

She was going to make a show before Theresa Mo. If Lu Jingli backed down, she would lose face

completely before her sister.

Theresa Mo can't help but see her lips slightly curved up in mockery. Foolish couples who are trying

to compete with those richer than them.

Suddenly Lu Jingli felt he was losing face and shouted "5 million yuan" everyone applauded. He

smiled and felt on top of the world.

"Is that fellow surnamed Lu an idiot?" Julia Li can't help but whisper to Theresa Mo. How can

someone be bidding with such a rich young master when he knows he is nothing like him in status.

"He had always been an idiot Julia" Theresa Mo confirmed. She was closer to the jewellery and

already saw that it's not made of gold at all.

It's designs are cute, being made by the best jewellery designer in Italy. But in quality, it's a mere

shambles.

"10 million yuan!" Young master Zu suddenly said and the applause rang in the air.
