It would have been easy if she had not sold her car. She did it all for him. Lucas knew he had not been treating Sheila well and that was why her mood changed. He didn't want to make life hard for her because she was his helper. He knew he owed her nothing despite he was helping her behind her back. "Sheila is someone I respect if there are no feelings for her, but I like her, " he said as he was trying to call her. Sheila saw her phone buzzing and she ignored the call. She was angry at Lucas, not for anything but saying she kept a man at the hospital. "Is he suspecting me? Why would he think I have met someone before meeting him" she asked herself Her phone rang for a second time and she picked up without saying a word.

Tristian was scared when he heard this, he thought he was lucky that Lucas spared him, if not he would have been sent to six feet by Blade. "Let's still wait for Lucas to pick up our call or show up at the company, don't dare him," he suggested "Who is he? That I can't dare, is it because of the video he sent, that is how the weak behave to protect themselves?

He knew the untouched Kendrick would never be silent despite the torture Tristan went through, so he remembered him to buy more time for himself in other to put things in place. There's a bit of worry on Lucas's face, he was thinking of how he would act smart without Sheila suspecting him because he would be in her house in a few minutes. "I need to make some necessary calls before leaving this hospital, I don't know if Sheila will give me breathing space" "Steve" "Yes, sir" "I'm terminating your appointment right now" he threatened "Sir, I'm so sorry I didn't call you all this while, you said I should not and that you would call me anytime you need me.

Sheila was scared when Lucas was about to change his mind, her joke was too expensive for Lucas, when she saw a demeanour in Lucas she quickly said she had signed the document and that she was just joking and Lucas took it seriously. Lucas knew what he had suffered from Lydia and her family, he could not allow that kind of joke because he had been there. "My condition is don't be shy around me""Is that all?" "Yes, that is all""You should have told me earlier, I won't" A smirk escaped his mind when he replied. She asked Lucas to go while she would come behind him, but Lucas disagreed that a man stays behind a woman to protect her, not the other way around.
