41Violet’s phone kept ringing throughout the party but she didn’t pick it up. Her mom had been calling her phone nonstop for over ten minutes. She just sat at a corner of the party, unable to chug down the cups of tequila.She wanted to think about her problems while she was sober. She had begun to realize that moving in with Kade might not have been a good decision.He lost his job right after they started living together. Though he had been sleeping with her for a long time, he has always footed her bills and given her a lot of money.In the past, he used to be all she wanted. The only man that managed to capture her heart as a whole. He always spoiled her with gifts every week.Pampered her like she was a baby, he made her forget her husband. He fucked her to ecstasy. Beautiful times those were, unlike the past few days that had been hell for her.He would not even look at her in the face. He was the one of her problems and the one that bothered her the least.Her mom’s gamblin

“I need to get something in my car, please for me. I will come back soon,” he said as he walked to his car outside.Then he came back almost immediately, Violet was already on a call with some else.“Mommy, I can’t believe you lied to me about him being a hot shot. I literally paid for our meal this afternoon. His card declined because he had insufficient funds in it. Isn’t that wild?” She said in an angry tone. “I told you there was no one like him who would be rich not to talk of being in charge of a bank.”Her side of the line went silent for a while then she spoke again. Put a lock of her hair behind her ear. Cephas fell for that cute act of hers in the past.Her character made everything so unpleasant to him now, she only came to check if he was rich because of what her mom told her, instead joining her at the table, he continued to listen to the conversation.“You must have mistaken him for another person. The Cephas I know doesn’t have enough intellect to work at a bank, do yo

“I have sent the address to her , sir.” Anta informed her boss. “That’s great, Anta.” He said as he adjusted his shoes . Jose, please ask Goofy to come and pick me up”“On it!”“Anta, please fill me in on the progress of things at the moment.”“I have cleared your schedule for today, the executives have requested for some tasks transfer.”“They are not even wasting time with the takeover process .” Jose relied.“Let’s leave them be, they’ll only get to enjoy this for two weeks or less depending on how fast you guys find something on Ms Gojo.” Cephas replied to him. “Are they receiving tasks from us or are they ones giving us tasks?”“They are handing their tasks over to us. But don’t worry, the tasks are things Jose and I can handle. We have completed all our tasks except for Marcus' publishing situation.”“Are we going to hand that over to them? We should be the ones to complete that project because I personally want to see Mr and Mrs Marcus crumble for not letting us stay the nigh

“Are you speaking to me?” Ruth demanded, and she was shocked by Tyla’s response. She had thought that Tyla was intimidated by her that was why she hadn’t spoken a word but Ruth realized that Tyla might not be calm like she thought.“Yes, Mrs Steel-Walter, you demand some respect but you have done nothing but say disrespectful words to me since you got here.” She answered.“I can say whatever I want to anyone, who are you to tell me that I am disrespecting you? Just because you are dressed in white, doesn’t mean you deserve my respect.” Ruth said.“This is different from what I have heard about you.”“What did a peasant like you hear about me and how is it supposed to affect me?”"Well, I should tell you, words have it that you are well-known for your kind words and accommodating heart, now that I have met you, I see they are all lies. The media knows nothing about you.”“That is disappointing for people like me that look up to you, we have always imagined how great you would be when

“How was your trip sir?” Anta asked as Cephas handed them the souvenirs he got them. “These are very beautiful,” she added as she unboxed the parcel in her hand.“It was boring, it was more of business talk than bonding with my in-laws. I am so tired that I would love a spa treatment as soon as possible.” he answered as a yawn escaped from his mouth.His dad had asked him to join the Gojos on a trip to Ibiza to bond with them, but the trip has been more of a business meeting than a bonding experience. The Gojo couple were just asking him to make expansion plans for them and give them advice on how to make mind-blowing profits.Because he loved things like that, he decided to work on it.“I will ask Lisa from the massage and spa to get ready to give you a special treatment, sir.” Anta replied. “Would you like it to be private?”“Yes, please. No staff or anyone else would be allowed in there. Fix the session to be after everyone clocks out and arrange an extra hour payment for Lisa.” He
