ANGEL INLAW

WHO CARES WHO YOU ARE?

Penelope was so excited to catch a glimpse of someone that prominent as well. ‘’Khloe let’s go have a look at the elevator later,’’ Penelope said as she tugged on Khloe’s sleeve. ‘’I will pass. I have to go back with Quincy later.’’ Khloe was a little tipsy after a few glasses of wine. Penelope sighed disappointedly and said, ‘’you still thinking about that retard? This is a golden opportunity, if we leave a strong impression on those people, your family won’t have to worry about money anymore, and businesses could be strike.’’

A while later, Geoffrey received a call. Everyone got nervous. Was the important person coming out already? Geoffrey put his phone down helplessly. ‘’My father just called and told me the dinner is over. The important person has left.’’

‘’How unfortunate. I thought we could get a glimpse of the person……’’ Everyone sighed. Penelope scoffed. ‘’We need to go be with Charles, I guess you’ve totally forgotten they are downstairs.’’ They giggled with laughter and hurried down to the third floor.

‘’Khloe, are you done?’’ Quincy asked while soft massaging Khloe on her shoulder. He followed them immediately they left the ninth floor. ‘’Quincy what are you doing here? Go away!’’ Penelope was still reeling on the disappointment of not seeing the very important person. She almost felt like attacking Quincy physically like he was the reason the very important person left, without the grand appearance.

‘’Why are you still fuming with rage, I gave you an opportunity to get into the Emperor Hall, presented a first class treatment to you, from far I could see the excitement on your face as you devour the foods and wines. You kept ordering for the most expensive wines you could think of’’…….

Penelope cut him short, ‘’You wish, please wish for something real and attainable, your imaginations are always out of nature! For your information, I was able to get in the ninth floor, because Innocent paid for the whole night and he made it an open event for anyone who at least was able to get to the third floor, so let that sink in into your block head.’’

Still smiling and still gently tapping Khloe, Quincy replied, ‘’Relax, calm down. Ask and I will gladly teach you how these thing are done.’’ Penelope scoffed. Charles narrowed his eyes and nodded. He ridiculed, ‘’Sure, Quincy. You can show me how it’s done.’’ He did not want to waste his time on retard. With his wealth, if he wanted Khloe could live like a queen.

For all that he cared, he might as well give the chance to Quincy to let him mess this dinner up. But he doesn’t want to compete with this useless retard. Vincent simply decided to stand out. Kimberly ignored Quincy completely and asked, ‘’Charles can you invite Kubus to Khloe’s birthday party? We can thank him for paying us back.’’ Charles’s smile froze.

However, he called Kubus earlier, Kubus scolded him and hung impatiently before he could say anything. He did not expect Kubus to really pay up. He was uncertain if he was able to invite Kubus to Khloe’s birthday party. However, when he saw Quincy looking at him, his heart tightened. He bit the bullet and said, ‘’Kimberly, don’t worry. I will definitely call Kubus and invite him.’’

He pulled his phone out and dialed the number. His heart was pounding wildly. After the first and second ring, Kubus did not answer. ‘’I will drop a message for him because he is not picking up,''  Charles was happy the call was not answered.

Penelope  just controlled her anger and said directly to Khloe, ‘’You know the retard husband of yours is not entering my car, he smells bad luck, so right now I wonder how you intend to make it home. It’s certain you can’t afford a cab, so would you rather get up and follow me right now as I head towards my car or would you rather walk home with the retard, remember, home is not that close. We are talking about one hour walk from here.’’

Quincy stared at Khloe’s face as he looked at her sudden wrinkled eyebrows and then he traced her gaze down to his shoes, and then he saw her raise her eyes to meet his gaze and then he raised the corner of his brows. Sensing the confusion on Khloe’s face, Quincy read between the lines of what her thoughts were so he quickly parted his lips to clarify her, ‘’This shoes, brooch,’’ He touched it with a smile. ‘' it is a fake one, if you are wondering if it was a real one.'' He gently stepped close to her and leaned forward as his lips were close to her ears.

‘’I borrowed it from a friend, to look kind of perfect.’’ He spoke intimately to her ear and Khloe felt the warmth of his breath and she quickly backed award obviously resisting the intimate, distanced herself and Quincy’s eyebrows gradually creased to see her reaction and how she had stepped back and he gazed at her for a long while.

As he stood there looking at her they didn’t noticed when Penelope, and others fumed and left.

He closed his eyes momentarily as the memories they had together flooded through his mind, the heartbreaking memories. The insults and the humiliation she took because if him. His breathing shook and he clenched his hand fist, he didn’t like remembering them, as it tears him apart. He doesn’t like the fact that, he can’t tell his Khloe that the days of suffering are over. Why should we walk home, when I can take her home in a Ferrari, isn’t that what she deserves.

‘’Where is the retard useless husband of yours?’’ Kimberly couldn’t even wait for Khloe to properly get inside. ‘’I am going to grab a cup of green tea, it’s on the counter,’’ Khloe replied and walked to the kitchen, not bothering to listen to what her mother had to say next.

After grabbing her tea, she kissed Kimberly on the cheek and with a smile she said. ‘’Mum, I’m so stressed, really stressed. Can we do this thing in the morning?’’ With that Khloe left for her bedroom, where Quincy was already waiting for her so they can take a bath together. He knew that he has too many questions to answer.

‘’What was the exact reason why the party was thrown? Was it truly for us? And why would Innocent Chim throw us a party, in such an expensive place? No! Why should he throw us a party at all? To apologize? For what exactly? And why was it that easy for us to recover the debt from Kubus? How were you able to get a pass for La casera Hall, the ninth floor at Cubana? Let’s assume you got a job? How were you able to get the job? You just recovered? When did you apply and why wasn’t i informed? I need answers to this questions, either this night or first thing tomorrow morning.’’

 Quincy was lying on the bed, admiring her beauty as she flares up. ‘’Tomorrow is your birthday, so we not starting the day with questions, we will be starting the day with love and celebration,'' Quincy responded with a beaming smile, he rolled to the other side, and slept off, snoring heavily.
