Although the car keys were handed out to Sheila, she could not accept them because she thought that there was a mistake and there was no way in the world that anyone would give her such a car. “Ms. Sheila, this is a gift directly from the CEO, you have been an outstanding actress of Coopers Entertainment and deserve nothing but the best which is why he gifted you this car, please accept it ma”Fabian explained, and although she had accepted the keys, she was still lost for words and suddenly she screamed with all excitement while another actress watched her with envy as she ran over to the car and hopped in, blowing the horn of the car so loud. Lydia's face had turned red with embarrassment that all she wanted was to dig a hole and hide inside of it but Lucas stood there smiling so wide that his cheek was starting to hurt. Once Sheila was done playing with the car, she rushed out of it and jumped on Lucas. Her heart was feeling so much excitement and although she was not aware that
Although she only heard that a new CEO from the Coopers family had been appointed, Lydia never got the opportunity to see him, so she thought it was the same for every other actress. But she thought that what her mother said might be true, perhaps Sheila was smart enough to have met the CEO as soon as he was appointed and scurried in front of him. “That is what you are going to find out my dear, find out how you can have access to him, you are more pretty than she will ever be and with the right outfit, there is no way that you wouldn't keep him hooked”“Mother! You are saying that I seduced the CEO?”“No… I am telling you to pave the way for your future career”“What if he rejects me?”“That is something that should never happen, find out everything that you need to know about him, his likes and dislikes, get close to him and enchant him with your beauty”Both women were silent for a while, Lydia was feeling better than she had when she previously arrived, her mother's words had su
A cold shiver ran down his spine as he read through it, he knew at this point that he had been tricked and had lost everything. “The chaos outside, it was not my idea, I swear!!”“But you lead the protest, isn't that right?”“Yes…. But… This was all Mr. Tristan who had promised me a huge sum and some record deal…. Please have mercy”“I can't pardon you, the best that I can do for you is sign you in with a new entertainment company called ELISE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY and right there all promises are fulfilled, are you ready to let your star shine?”“Elise? But I have never heard of them before, isn't that like some new company?”“I haven't made any promise to you, but one thing that I can assure you over there is that they are going to make you a star more than the Coopers ever did!!”Blake was stunned staring at Lucas in the eyes, Lucas maintained stern eye contact and knew that this was a dilemma for him, but either way, his contract was getting dissolved, and the least he could do
Lucas stepped out of the Coopers building, his driver immediately opened the Roy Royce as soon as he saw him coming. Lucas stepped in and the car soon drove out. Half miles away from the company down the street was a roadblock. The driver was perplexed, wondering why a road was set at this hour of the day. “Is there a problem?” Lucas inquired after noticing his perplexity?”“Yes sir, the road was blocked this early and I can't fathom why considering that this is a direct route”“Why don't you just take another route?”“The other route is longer and is going to take you so much of your time considering that you have a meeting at Elise in the next two hours”.Lucas sighed, realizing that there was some truth in this, he glanced at his watch briefly while he watched his driver step out of the car. “I will just pull it out of the road and then we can continue our trip” he Explained before going further. But just then, three armsmen surged out of nowhere and before his driver could mak
Back at the large Cooper’s mansion, Tristan had just arrived home anxiously, his eyes searching around like they were seeking some answers, he pulled the large double door and in the massive living room was Madam Jane and her friend having some wine over some chit chat. Madam Jane could see the expression with which Tristan had stepped in, the entire air became intense, she immediately adjusted her luxurious dress and rose to her feet. “Becky dear, you just have to excuse me for a while, I need to have some conversation with Tristan here, I will be back”Becky nodded as he narrowed her gaze suspiciously at the both of them while they scurried upstairs, and once they were both inside, she shut the door. “What is going on Tristan, why are you back home when I have ordered you to summon the board members?”“That I have concluded, but we have a big problem right now”“Go ahead and tell me what it is?”“First, have you finalized the plan with Lucas, if no then it will be better because
Madam Jane got angry at the declination from Kendrick. She knew she could not disturb him further not to arouse anger in him. Kendrick had been known as the most dangerous member of the family who could turn morning to night within a second. He was the one who evicted and deleted Lucas's mother despite her intelligence. He was not given the position promised him because of his lack of education.He did not get the proper education that would enable him to manage the company, instead, he was given a share that would shut him up forever. Who never feared Kendrick had died multiple deaths. She promised herself that Kendrick would go down to where he sent Lucas's mother. She left Kendrick's house and called Tristan on her way out of his house. "Have you prepared everything?""Yes, you just have to arrive for us to start the meeting," Tristan said."Okay, Kendrick has refused to vote, but don't worry. I will still be able to think of a way out. Just wait for me.""Kendrick never mean
LUCAS is dead! On hearing this, Sheila became shocked. She didn't expect Lucas to be in such a condition. Instantly, the mobile phone fell from her hands down to the bed where she was sitting."What!" Sheila found herself exclaiming. She was talking to herself. She quickly rushed in to fetch her car key and she had not finished making up. She just applied powder to her face when she heard the horrible news. She looked at herself after getting to where her car was packed and found out that she was wearing just underwear. She went inside again had to change and headed down to the hospital described on the phone to herSheila got into her car and zoomed off to the hospital. She drove at high speed because she did not know how urgent her service was needed since she knew no one with Lucas and was scared that something bad might happen to Lucas if she got there late. Thank God there was no traffic to hold her down. She longed to see Lucas. In her heart, she could tell she was falling
In the chaotic swirl of the hospital emergency entrance, Lydia's heart skipped a beat as she caught sight of a figure shrouded in familiarity being rushed towards an awaiting ambulance. Panic etched across her face, her eyes fixed on the hauntingly familiar clothing draped over the lifeless form. Time seemed to freeze as a chilling realization gripped her—could this be Lucas? The frenzied atmosphere heightened the tension, Sheila's mind raced with fear as she navigated through her bag, looking for her phone. She dialled Lucas's number desperately seeking confirmation or relief from the impending tragedy unfolding before her. "Hello, this is Sheila, I'm currently in your hospital, please what happened to Lucas? Why is being moved to the ambulance? I saw nurses drive him past me now please, talk," she was shaking while talking on the phone. The person she was speaking to felt the energy and felt pity for her. "Hello, this is Doctor Ken, calm down, and don't alert your heart rate
“You and scene are 5 and 6, you don't want to be humiliated alone, you drag damsel Sheila into it; what is all these fragrance all about?” Jared berrated.Lydia could not help but snorted when Jared called Sheila a damsel; he knew Jared still had interest in her but was glad that Sheila didn't give him a chance.“Mr. Jared, please do not talk to him in that manner,” Sheila pleaded.“How do you want me to address this address, damsel? He is just nothing but garbage, I regretted ever having anything to do with your ex because he has affected her life with his ill luck, Look at her over there waiting to seduce the CEO; if not, she would have lashed on you.” he Explained “Sheila, do not stop him, let me see how much he is willing to take, I'm sure he will regret every action,” facing Jared, “Do you remember what I told you the first time we met?”He blinked his eyes continuously and asked, “How could I remember what pauper like you told me? You are nothing but trash, so get the hell out
Lucas and Sheila walked in like a newlywed couple.All eyes were on them; some couldn't believe what they saw; the clothes they were wearing were screaming wealth.Lydia rolled her eyes toone side as she saw them and muttered, “Lucas and Drama, who did he want to impress? He wore a fake designer to feel among them.” Two ladies who had attacked Sheila came before them and stopped them from moving forward.“Where do you think you are going? You have heard that the CEO won't make it here today, and you invited your pauper boyfriend to show up with fake designers,” one of the ladies told them.“Stay out of our way,” Sheila warned them, but they refused. “You and your stinky boyfriend should leave this venue now before we disrespect you.”A sly grin escaped from the corner of Lucas' mouth as she watched them rant.“It is obvious that you ladies are tired of working here; you will soon be served your relief of appointments,” Lucas said.“Who is he that will serve us relief from duty?” “Y
Chapter 193Sheila smiled and threatened, "We never had a quarrel, but you chose to fight when I'm peaceful. I will pretend I didn't hear everything you have said. You ladies should walk away because you won't escape if I take it up with you.”“Splendid! Are you threatening us? What can you do?” one of them said, rolling her eyes.“Absolute nothing when you lied that you are the CEO’s wife and you are a snitch who is dating your friend's ex, the useless and pauper man your friend rejected, and you picked it up. Good for you because you like trash. Today will be your last day in this company because we heard the CEO and his wife are coming. We will make sure we tell them how you want to steal this place and claim it as your own,” she smiled sinisterly as she rested her hands on her waist. Sheila wasn't surprised when she mentioned her friend; she knew they might be instigated by Lydia to fight her. Despite their bullying, she smiled and maintained a calm demeanor. She had been warned
“Ma’am, your husband is rich, you wearing the most expensive diamond ring 20 million dollars,”Sheila was not happy with the way these couple were valuing her ring, they spoke in sarcasm that she could not understand, and this got sheila angry she thought they were devaluing her ring and snapped at them, “No matter how much it is, please spare me, allow me to do my hair thank you,”“Ma’am, being our role model, we will like to have picture with you,” the lady asked Sheila sighed heavily, she regretted meeting these people early in the morning. She accepted to take picture with them and the man said she should show her ring in the picture because they could not afford it.Sheila scoffed and sneered,“You can't afford $20 ring and you claim to be rich, what a joke!” The man responded politely,“Not a joke ma, twenty million dollars is not small money, only rich people like you can afford it,”Sheila released her anger and asked in disbelieving tone,“You mean my ring worth twenty million
“Not burning,”“You want to tell me the smoke coming out is heat?” she asked jokingly. “Yeah, it is; I'm a better cook,” he smirked.Yeah, you are.”“Why did you admit so fast?”“No, energy to drag,”“Oh, I see,”Thank you for everything; you paid for the clothes.”Yeah, with the money you gave me.”The money she gave him was one million, and the clothes and jewellery cost fifteen million. “I didn't know how much Kayle paid for the clothes, but I'm sure you can buy your own.”“I will take you to hairstyle tomorrow; I would have brought them home for home service, but I like taking precautions; don't bring strangers to your house.”“You are right, it is quite dangerous, and more so, the house owner would come soon; he might not like many people into his house except people he brought himself,” she admitted. ***Lucas departed for his room after eating dinner with Sheila. He was thinking of what would happen the next day when his phone beeped. John sent him a text about the latest s
Chapter 190The manager who had moved to the reception to arrange chairs for them to sit on before she arrived saw her going back and asking, "I called you for a customer, and you spun, what has come over you?”The lady sneered, “Look at the people you called me for. Do they look like someone who can afford a scarf here? They might probably miss their way,” Pointing out as if she was giving them direction, “Please go to either Harrisos Coutour Extensions, not Executive here, you will be able to pick one or two things there, an ordinary scarf here costs a fortune.”The manager walked to the fashion expert and slapped her. The sound of the slap echoed in the store, the store representative kept her head down. She swirled and tears began to fall from her eyes uncontrollably. She was shocked that the manager could slap her for the low-life customers. She reluctantly took them to the showroom with her hand covering her face where she was slapped. The manager knew she would take reveng
Chapter 189.Sheila felt bad after receiving the news that she had no money in her bank account and that Lucas had not yet gotten new clothes for the celebration tomorrow. She didn't want to feel bad because it would hurt Lucas; instead, she continued her play and fell on the bed. The play was too much for Lucas; he had a lot to do in preparation for tomorrow's premiere. He was waiting for Sheila to announce that she had gotten the money, but she didn't say anything. "Did she keep the news of getting 5 million dollars from him, or had Steve not sent it?" he mumbled under a breathHe wanted to take his phone and ask, but Sheila didn't let him be; she kept laughing and giggling. He didn't want to stop her either because she had been moody for a while on the CEO's wife's matterHer phone beeped but still played. "Stop it!" Lucas exclaimed in a playful tone. “You have a message on your phone.”“I'm not interested in the message; let me off it.” She stood up and took her phone. She op
Chapter 187He thought she was worried about the humiliation she would face that day. He saw her walking to the kite and followed her. He went "Kayle,""I don't have provisions; please go to a nearby store and get me some.""Okay, ma, but I am cooking."Who owns the food? "You, ma, master, said I should prepare it for you.""Don't worry, I will continue it. Tell the driver to take you to the nearest store.""Okay ma,""Kayle met Lucas and told him that Sheila sent her errand."Lucas eyes widened as he saw Sheila card with Kayle and asked,Hope you are not going to the market.""I am going to the mall to get provisions, sir.""Shit, there is no money in that card."Let me inform her.""No, do not. Go and get your card, and I will transfer money to you right away. Are you using the same bank details I have?""Yes, sir,""Okay, go,"Transfer $5,000 to Sheila and tell her from the CEO to prepare for the coming Premiere. Do it exactly after 2 hours. "Okay sir,"Lucas went to the kitchen
Chapter 187She felt another surge of anger as she read the part where it said all the artists would be given awards. She talked loudly and said, "Including the riff raffs, ptf... Elite should hold its stinky award for its dirty people; I don't do with the crowd; anytime it has a standard award, I should be invited." She talked so loudly that her mother could hear where she was, but she was unfazed; she thought Lydia was just talking to get her attention. She wondered where she was. Lydia wanted to drop her phone on the couch again. Her eyes swiftly caught the CEO on the text message, but she could not fathom what the CEO was doing in the message immediately. She instantly took the phone back and read the text message again. Her eyes lit up instantly; her eyes were brimming with joy as she read the CEO part. She thought another chance had come for her, and she had to be smart to take it. She walked to her room to check her poster and her skin. She saw that she had not been taking
