“I knew it! How did we even think that someone like that could be the Almighty chairman of A and U?” The guests talked amongst themselves as they began to leave the hall Their words flew into Andrew's ear but he disregarded it, they were free to think whatever they wanted to,that was the least of his problems. A comfortable silence settled between him and Benita , as he dragged from his cigarette while Amanda gently sipped from her wine glass. When the CEO saw that the rest of the guests had left, and it was just his boss and the woman he came with, he decided it was time to relay the Information he had. Benita saw the CEO approaching Andrew and she took that as a sign to excuse herself and give them some space. “I will be outside ” She said as she grabbed her purse from the table “Boss” The CEO called out as soon as he reached where Andrew was seated. “Say it out already”Andrew snapped as soon he noticed the gloomy expression on the CEO's face. He could tell that expres
“She also asked me to inform you that she would be paying you a visit soon” The CEO grinned, as he relayed the message to his boss. “Find a way to stall her, I don't have time to entertain guests now”Andrew snapped “Ok sir, I will do as you have said” the CEO responded, his face turning serious. “Ok, that would be all for now, " Andrew said, and stood up to his feet. “Goodbye boss”The CEO bowed and disappeared into the hall to organize some things before leaving. As Andrew stepped out of the hall, the message his CEO relayed to him about Tiffany,kept playing in his head, he really had no time for any distractions right now and the Tiffany he knew, wouldn't understand that. “Hey Andrew”Benita waved as soon as she saw Andrew walk towards her. All these while she was outside, she had been practicing on a better way to ask Andrew in a sensible and polite way about the one question that had been bothering her. “Hi Benita, are you ready to go?”Andrew asked as he got close eno
“How dare that stupid chairman do this to me? Lily fumed, her insides boiling with rage “Ouch! take it easy, do you want to worsen my injuries? She glared at maid using a warm towel to massage her swollen face “ I put so much into preparing for that partnership? But what did I get in return?”She asked, not exactly expecting any answer “I would never forget this day in my life, do you know how many of my influential friends were in attendance? I had to pay some to come witness our big day, only for us to end up like this”Mike lamented, as he dapped the ice bag he was holding on his own swollen face “You know in my my 30 years on earth, this has got to be the worst day of my life, all these while, I thought you telling me about your pregnancy was the worst but….”Mike cautioned himself immediately and snapped his mouth shut “It's enough, we have to think of a way forward, lamenting won't bring the partnership back, we have to think!”Miranda snapped, glaring at Mike “Mom, what's t
A few minutes later,Mike and Lily were on their way to A and U groups, and Mike decided to ask. Lily the question that had been on his mind “Babe, since we decided to postpone our wedding because of what happened, why don't we fix another date?”He asked, his attention fixed on the road Lilys face fell flat instantly as Mike's words sank into her ears. Getting married to Mike was the last thing on her mind,as all her plans had been centered on getting the partnership and also getting the chairman to be romantically involved with her, that was why she hastily brought up the idea of the wedding postponement after they were thrown out of the event . Mike had agreed at first , but she didn't expect that he would talk about fixing another date the same day they decided to postpone it. “Mike, you know… “Lily began, but on a second thought, refrained from saying what she was about to, as a thought crossed her mind. Meeting with the chairman was 50 /50 and she wasn't even sure if he woul
Lily's face scrunched up in disgust as she glared at the two people standing a few meters in front of her. “What the fuck are you both doing here?!” Lily yelled, still finding it hard to believe that it was truly Andrew and Benita she was seeing. “Have you both lost your minds? Of all places, you choose to bring your stinking self's to A and U group?” she sneered, staring at the both of them condescendingly “We are actually here for a purpose Lily” Benita said calmly not quite understanding why lily was flaring up. “What stupid purpose? I know why you are here”Lily snapped, her voice laced with disdain “Really?” Benita asked, furrowing her eyebrows In confusion , as she wondered how Lily got to know about her contract with A and U. But she didn't think deeply into it, “Maybe she might have gotten the information from some other source, after all the signing process would be aired and everyone would eventually get to know about it.”She thought “Yes, you are right Lily, we are he
“What!” Lily let out a loud shriek, her phone slipping off her hands. “What the hell just happened? Did I see clearly?” Mike asked, his eyes wide agape In shock He picked up Lily's phone and replayed the video, confirming what he just saw “This is real Lily, we got kicked out, but they allowed those bunch of trash to enter without any obstructions, impossible!”He yelled, pacing around restlessly as he muttered incoherent words under his breath.“They even bowed to them! Can you imagine?” Mike went out and on, blabbing in annoyance “Stop it Mike, stop it! don't ever play that video again, Infact give me my phone, I'm deleting it right now!” Lily said, snatching her phone from Mike's hand. She closed her eyes, deleting the video because she didn’t want to see it again, but when she opened her eyes, she realized she had pressed the wrong button, immediately the part where the guards bowed to Andrew and Benita showed, causing her to let out another ear piercing scream. She flung her
As they drove home, Lily was unusually quiet and that got Mike's attention“Babe what's the problem you are not saying anything? What's on your mind?” Mike asked,as he flickered his gaze to Lily. Lily heaved a deep sigh, gently massaging her temple “There’s nothing much on mind, I'm just thinking of a way to teach those bastards a lesson that they would never forget in a hurry” Lily replied absentmindedly, her mind running wild with different thoughts. “You mean those two idiots? The pauper and the pauperess?” Mike asked mockingly Lily raised her eyebrows questioningly,a small smile crossing her face “Is there any word like that? Anyways I'm planning on meeting up with up with Mr. Vain, I need to discuss something important with him”she announced “Wait! The Mr. Vain we all know? Babe, what do you plan on discussing with him? That man is a very dangerous man, I heard he sleeps with anything in skirt, he's extremely dangerous and it's risky to go meet with him ”Mike said, his voice
She continued, her voice barely above a whisper “This is what I have been praying for all these while, but now, It's here, I can't help but feel like a scam, I feel like I betrayed my friend” Benita said, as tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes. Andrew furrowed his eyebrows In surprise “No, you are not a scam Benita and you didn't betray anyone . You got this contract because you deserved it, you worked so hard for it, nothing more, nothing less.” Andrew said assuredly “I know but… “There are no buts Benita, Your company has huge potentials and there is no one else that deserves this more than you do”“But it was meant to be Lily's, and she thinks I stole it from her” Benita said as a stray tear rolled down her cheeks “Benita, you didn't steal anything from anyone, I want you to accept that you got this contract because you worked so hard for it, so you deserve it.”Andrew said soothingly “Lily was the one who let the opportunity slip from her grasp, and that has got nothing t
