Karina's face held a look of surprise and partial disbelief as she stared at her phone. The light on the screen of her phone danced in her face, staring hauntingly at her. She angrily scoff escaped her lips as she took the phone away from her face for a few seconds, relaxing bed back into the chair she sat in. After a few seconds of just sitting like that and reminiscing on the thing she just found out, she brought her phone back to her face wih a gingered movement. Her fingers scrolled through her contact, until she came across the one she was looking for. Tapping her finger on it, she immediately dialed the number. "Hey Karina, What's going on?" Micheal's voice came through the speakers of the phone in a calm and collected tone. "Lets meet at that coffee shop. I have a very important information to share with you." She replied him, standing up on her feet and grabbing her purse that sat beside her all along. "What kind of information? Is everything alright?" His voice has a hint

As the time drew nearer for the contract signing to take place, Lucy grew more nervous. Her palms were becoming sweaty, and her mind wouldn't stop playing tricks on her, coming up with unnecessary scenarios of what could go wrong before the contract was eventually signed. She had restrained herself from consuming too much wine so as not to get drunk or appear drunk during the signing process. She grabbed the glass of water in her table and took a huge gulp, attempting to quell her growing nerves. "Calm down Lucy, nothing would go wrong, everything will be just fine." She muttered quietly to herself, in an attempt to ease her mind. The trick seemed to work for a few minutes, but soon it returned. More guests arrived, and some came to pay homage to her, which distracted her for a bit. Camera men walked by, capturing moments and also streaming the ceremony live. She suddenly remembered that her mother and her sister were yet to arrive, and the ceremony was soon to start in full swing. P

There was a loud murmur in the room as they all gazed at Karina who was shining in a glamouring beauty captivating the audience before her."H-how could it be her?" Lucy gasped in shock with her mouth open. "She has no shame, how could I have had so much respect for her?" Lucy muttered to herself, if there was another option for her she wouldn't bother signing the partnership and would leave immediately."Are you sure she misses Rodriguez?" Emily asked skeptically while gazing at her. "Although she does uphold that name with a pretty face and body like hers." Emily admired in envy."You're prettier than her honey, don't compare yourself to that woman." Alice scolded Emily."She's one of the top four beautiful women in Nayvork, sorted out by rich prominent men, do you seriously think I am prettier?" She laughed lightly."Well, any man who sees you would surely be captivated by your beauty so you don't need to lose your confidence, remember that your mother is beautiful and so are you."

"Help you?" He furrowed his brows in surprise, playing dumb. "What makes you think I would help you after saying we shouldn't interfere in each other's lives?" Lucy recalled the day outside the Hayes building, she must have thought wrong, and she wondered how possible it was for someone like him to do that. "I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken." She apologized."If that's all you wanted to say, then please excuse me." Michael walked outside meeting Karina who smirked at him with her hand folded in her chest. "What was that about?" Karina asked interested."Nothing." Michael shrugged as she smiled cheekily."Well, I do know." She poked his arm. "She still has feelings for you." Karina laughed."Don't say that…. I doubt it." Michael shrugged his shoulders not wanting to think about it."So tell me." Karina seemed more serious now. "Have you been able to treat the person with the initial herb?" Karina asked curiously."No, I still need another herb to complete the remedy although such

Zain still wasn't satisfied with Michael being in the room and stared at him suspiciously, Karina seemed to understand his body language and asked Michael to leave, without a word he turned around and left standing right outside the door where Brian and some of his men were."Is this the one who thinks he's worthy of the highly-spoken Miss Rodriguez?" Brian scoffed standing beside Michael and taking out a cigar from his pocket.Michael ignored him, smelling trouble from him m, he didn't have the luxury of getting into a pointless fight with him. "It's rude to ignore people you know." Brian gazed at him at the corner of his eyes but Michael remained calm wanting nothing than to be left alone."You should do that outside." Michael finally said as the smoke of the cigar hit his nose, Brian stared at him with a smirk and blew more of the smoke in his face wanting to anger him but Michael turned around and walked away leaving Brian and his men, Rick and Morty He turned towards them with a
