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
Beep! Benita dived for her phone without delay as soon she heard the sound of a text notification. Her face stretched into a broad smile as she scrolled through her phone, reading the text message that just got in. “I accept your apology Benita, and I am very happy that the contract went to a befitting person. I wish you good luck,I will be having my birthday party this weekend, on Friday. How about you come over with Andrew?”Benita’s face broadened into more smiles after reading the text Lily had sent. As soon as Andrew dropped her at the hotel a few minutes, the first thing she did when she got in was to text Lily. She tried explaining her relationship with Andrew because she knew Lily had misunderstood them, she also sympathized with Lily for her contract loss. It was relieving for her to finally apologize even though she was doubtful that Lily wouldn't reply to her text,but she needed to get the heavy weight off her chest. But, seeing the text message Lily had just sent ba
The club bubbled with excitement, as loud music played in the background “Happy birthday Lily” the people in the room echoed in unison as Lily cut her cake, her face beaming with smiles but underneath those smiles, her heart boiled with anger. Her gaze continually flickered to where Andrew and Benita were seated , and with each stare, her chest contrasted with more anger . She hated that they were here, but she had no other option as this was the only way to carry on with her plans. When she had stared enough, almost digging a hole to their heads, she decided it was time to commence with her plans and get rid of them so she could enjoy her party. She walked up to the center of room and announced excitedly “It's time for the games guys” She said and her words were met with a round of applause as everyone anticipated the game, all except Benita, who felt nervous at the mention of the word “Game” she had never been good at any type of game, so she avoided them all together. And als
He had noticed that Benita was beginning to get drunk and he wasn't exactly comfortable with it. “No, Andrew, let me, it's the rule of the game” Benita said letting out a loud laughter “Benita, you are clearly drunk, here take this”Andrew said, handing over a glass of water to Benita “ I'm okay Andrew, I've got this, I'm not drunk yet, I'm just tipsy” Benita countered Andrew hesitated for a while his grip still firm on the glass , but then a thought flashed through his mind causing his grip to loosen around the glass,he had no reason to fear for Benita’s safety, he was going to let her have fun, after all he was here with her and that automatically meant she was safe, he would be the one to drop her off at the hotel even if she ends up getting too drunk. “Ok, but just this one”He said, loosening his grip around the glass entirely “Sure, this is the last one, don't worry I'm still sober”Benita giggled as she gulped down the vodka at one go. Seeing that her mission had
