"Raymond, I can't believe I came back last week but you barely have my time" Jessica said entering the house after Raymond opened it

"You know I've been busy" he said walking back into the house, and he really had been.

He had to run the company and see his patients as well, it hadn't been funny doing both...Isabel had been helpful but...Jessica followed him into the kitchen on her high heels

"That's so not fair, you know I've missed you baby"she said dropping her bag and going towards him to kiss him

He took up the frying pan to place on the gas

"you have a weird way of showing that"he said

"Its my job, we all have to make sacrifices" she said, then hands on her waist she looked at the frying pan as he poured in oil

"What are you making?" she asked

"Want to fry plantain, already made beans" he said

"Let me help" she offered

He knew she didn't really mean that, she usually complained about her nails and it looked freshly done

"no, I got it" he said

"Alright, lemme know when you're done" she walked out of the kitchen, he continued frying as his phone buzzed, he took it out and checked it, it was his in man Jacob Bright, who was the accountant in the  company of which he was CEO, he couldn't be there all the time so he felt he needed to have an in man who would keep him abreast of things, especially as his brother was still a part of the board.

The text was a reminder of the meeting they were to have with a supplier, the secretary Rita already told him, but he was glad Jacob decided to remind him so he was present and didn't miss out on any of the decisions. Sometimes he felt he should leave the whole thing for Richard, but his father knew something he didn't, he hadn't wanted Richard in charge for a reason, he wished he knew why though, would have sure made things easier

"Tell me you're not on call" Jessica said as she came back into the kitchen, she leaned on the doorframe and he looked up and gawked

. She had changed into a short dark robe which barely covered her panties, and the middle of her chest gaped open revealing her lace bra underneath, he sucked in a breathe as his head spinned

"You should check the oil" she said and walked away with a smirk, he quickly put off the gas and went after her.

"So tell me about the patient you were talking about" Alex said to Isabel who held a case note, Raymond was also there as he rubbed his forehead from lack of sleep, Isabel began talking but he wasn't listening, after Alex responded to the case and his decision, he looked at Raymond

"What do you think?"

He looked up and saw them both staring at him

"I think you should go ahead with it"he said

"I ll be damned if you have been listening" Alex said with a chuckle

"Well I wasn't, have a lot on my mind" he said

"You wana talk about it?" Alex asked, they were all close having worked together for years

"Work's just hectic with the company and all" Raymond said

"Thought you don't always have to be around"

"That's what I thought, but I don't even know if my inner man can be trusted"

"Who's your inner man?" Isabel asked and he looked up and recalled Isabel was there, sometimes he did forget she was dating his brother, he took up his wardcoat

"See you guys at the review" he went for it and listened to the presentation.

Isabel walked in later with her friends and sat with them. He didn't know if to trust her, she was supposed to be his friend but she was dating his brother, it would be a dangerous thing to continue to trust that she was on his side in this, especially as he knew in his gut that Richard was up to something...he wondered what though but he knew he had to be on his guard.

"So uh, are you going for the dinner?" Isabel asked after work.

They were going to have an association dinner that weekend with other doctors in the state

"Not sure I can go" he ran his fingers through his hair and her eyes went to it

"Why, Everyone's going"she said, it happened once a year, and was a platform for them to socialize and meet other doctors while talking about issues pertaining to their patients. Apart from that it was fun. Alex had asked to go with her but he had been hitting on her so she didn't think she should

"I have a tight schedule but maybe I ll try to squeeze it in" he said

She sat on the desk swinging her legs

"I kind of of am looking for a date" she said

"What happened to Richard?" he wondered

"He's not going, said he's really busy, are you taking Jess?" She asked

"She has a thing in portharcourt"he replied with a frown closing up the case note and shutting his pen

"I think we should go together" she said suddenly, he looked up "yea" she continued "as friends so I'm not completely dateless, most persons wouldn't even know the difference "she said playing with her fingers

He paused and went back to packing his things for home, for it was the end of his call "Well I think that's a good idea, we can go as friends"he said "but in case I change my mind don't be disappointed" he took up his laptop bag and placed it on the desk "The company is taking my time "

"You said something about an inner man earlier"she asked

"I was just talking" he said...and held her gaze, she stood up

"Well let me early know if you change your mind".

She walked out leaving him wondering what she was up to now.

    Considering how much she loved Richard, he might use her as a spy and informant against Raymond. Or it could be she is falling gradually for Raymond.

    I don't think Isabel will do anything to hurt Raymond but on the other hand, love can make you do anything. However, it is only normal for Raymond and anyone in his situation to be suspicious of Isabel. If he wasn't, then I'd be surprised.
