Chapter 72.Lucas, seemingly indifferent to the brutality, watched Jared hitting his mouth on the floor with an unwavering gaze. He would aim for part of his body if he had no business with him in the future, but could not do it because of the movie he would feature that was where he planned his revenge. He got a phone call from Steve informing him that Sheila was around, he quickly remembered that he had promised Sheila not to do anything funny. He discharged Jared and commanded him to run like a thief before he dashed into Sheila's office. Jared ran through Sheila and this made her doubt if Lucas had not met him. Why would he run without noticing her who was chasing him? She doubted he might have encountered Lucas. Sheila told Bella to go back to her office and explain the condition of the place they went to her boss. They were welcomed when they got to the designer's place, but Lydia had her way by begging Jones who was supposed to take her portrait if they could come back som

Chapter 74Sheila fought against the invisible chains of the CCTV, well aware that the appointment letter explicitly forbade office romance, threatening the very essence of job security. The contradiction between risking the contract and losing Lucas loomed over her.As the possibility of losing Lucas dawned on her, she seized the moment, using her hands to encircle him. The sudden connection snapped Lucas out of his reverie; he was startled to realize he had hugged Sheila, and the warmth lingered between them.Slowly, he began to release his grip, a gradual unravelling of the unconsenting embrace. Sheila mirrored his movements, acknowledging the necessity to disentangle themselves.Embarrassment settled over Lucas like a heavy shroud; he couldn't bring himself to meet Sheila's gaze, the weight of an unspoken understanding hanging in the air. Sheila thought he remembered Lydia and wanted someone to lean on that was why she reciprocated. "I know how hard it is to lose someone you love

Chapter 76.Mrs. Blake felt sorry for Lucas for being an orphan at a tender age, she had gone through the same shoe and she knew how painful to grow up without parents. She decided to offer words of advice and scourge his son-in-law-to-be when Mr.Blade who had never said anything other than eating and looking at them with bombastic eyes broke the silence and abused the hell out of Lucas. Lucas was surprised at his behaviour because he had never seen a mouth with a sharp mouth as Mr. Blake. He remembered that Lydia's father was not this brutal, he always got tired after one or two curses, his wife used to help him hurl the remaining negative words he was supposed to say to him, but the reverse was the case with Sheila's father as he could abuse for eternity non-stop. His dark lips never stopped dancing like a live chicken that enters hot water. Lucas's fury ignited, his fist clenched beside him, he felt like beating the hell out of Sheila's father, he looked at Sheila and their eyes m

Chapter 78.Lucas got the list of companies that Philla Group partnered with and decided to teach him a lesson. Sheila was dumbfounded when Lucas was requesting for the list, she wanted to laugh but did not want him to feel less of himself in the presence of her mother. They finished and Sheila cleared the table. She later went to meet Lucas in his room, she didn't feel shy because she slept there the previous day. She stood at the entrance and started looking at Lucas with a side eye when he was changing into another dress. "Are you set to work?" she asked jokingly "Which work?" he asked "The one you just took from my mum now, you are a consultant, engineer and now lawyer or police which of the two? She sneered "Can you leave the entrance I want to pass, please?" he begged "Wait, let's stop joking, where are you going? She asked him with a serious look"I want to get something for you to eat" he lied"I'm not hungry, tell me where you are going, if you don't I will lock the

Chapter 80.Lucas was angry that Mr. Blake left home because of him and he decided to go out and find him but was stopped by Sheila and her mother saying that he should not disturb himself and that he would come home. "I just want to find him," he said "You don't need to, he will come back home when he is tired of being outside, that is what he turned himself into 27 years ago, leave him. He has a concubine he always finds solace with in the next street," Mrs. Blake explained with expressionless face. It showed that she wasn't bothered anymore that her husband kept a mistress."You said in the morning I should get ready to get my business back, I got a call from one of my managers today that Maxwell reached out to us for collaboration and also cut ties with Gourment Harvests, Do you know Maxwell that you can command the big company like?" she asked, and her face was glittered with a smile"No, ma, I have not done anything to the list you gave me," he said, looking at Sheila's face to
