Chapter 63."What a joke!, does it mean I have to go out there and call Kelly," she muttered If there was someone she would never wish to see, it wouldn't be no one but Sheila why would she go and call Kelly from her place? She didn't want to see what the car looked like not to talk of seeing Sheila with the car. She smashed her phone on the floor, and the phone was dismantled. She had no option but to stand up and go out to call Kelly, she stood up from where she was sitting to call Kelly in but she was surprised to see her near Sheila and others. The funniest part was that the car presented to Sheila was her dream car and her favourite colour. She could not open her mouth to call Kelly, tears well up around her eyes and stood like a child whose parents miss Parent Teacher Meeting. Kelly looked up and saw her, she knew Lydia was not in her right state after all that happened at the event, she excused Shane and they both promised to chat because they had shared their ID on Instagr
Chapter 64."You heard me right, other judges have passed their comments and signed your appointment, but remain Miss Sheila Blade's remark, since she was the one that asked for a redo of a scene you can meet her in her office and sort things out," Steve explained Fear etched her features as she heard that, she didn't want to face Sheila in her weak state but had no option, her manager persuaded her to meet Sheila that she was behind her, after all, Sheila had benefited from her for so long, why would it be difficult to help her now. "Listen please, I don't need her help, she would be the last person I would need her help in this world, so mind your speech, you can go ahead and tell her to sign while I wait here for you""If all this could be done behind your back, you know I would have done it. Lydia, let's go before she walks out of the office, you know today was her lucky d… " Kelly could not finish her statement because of the dead and cold look on Lydia's face, she was so mean
Chapter 65"Did I just hear her mentioning Lucas?" she asked Kelly "We heard it together" she confirmed "Give me the car key""I can't let you drive in this state""What do you mean by in this state as there is something wrong with me?""Nothing wrong with you, I drove you here and I must drive you back home, stop this embarrassment and get in the car," she shouted "Kelly, have you forgotten that I pay you? Don't let what happened there get into your head, I'm going to make sure Sheila suffers the humiliation she caused me" she boasted Kelly concentrated on driving, she didn't want to exchange words with her and Lydia was not happy with her silence either. "Did she mention that looser to make me feel more pain? Or are they together?""Maybe""Which of them did you answer? "None"Lydia shot her a dead glance and looked away, why would Kelly talk to her anyhow? She requested for her second phone dialled Sean's number and let out a loud noise. "Accident!"Kelly did not care to kno
Chapter 66.Sheila gracefully descended from her room to the living room. Her silhouette was accentuated by a flowing gown in midnight blue, adorned with delicate sequins that caught the ambient light.Her hair, cascading in soft waves, framed a face illuminated by a subtle yet radiant glow. The carefully chosen makeup highlighted her features, and a hint of starlight shimmered on her eyelids. The scent of a delicate perfume lingered in the air as she approached LucasAs Lucas caught his first glimpse, a gasp of admiration escaped him, and his eyes widened with an unspoken awe. The beauty of Sheila seemed to momentarily suspend time, leaving him momentarily entranced. He had never seen her like this. A warm smile graced her lips as she met his gaze, and the unspoken connection between them deepened. Lucas broke the silence and asked Sheila where they should visit. "Where would you like to go?" he asked "Stellar Haven," she said jokinglyLucas was shocked when she mentioned Stellar
Chapter 67.Lucas, with a charming demeanour, carried her to a lavishly set table adorned with flickering candles and fresh flowers. The ambience exuded romance, and the soft glow of the candles played on the crystal glasses. As she took her seat, her eyes widened at the array of delectable dishes before her.For starters, a platter of delicate lobster tail medallions nestled on a bed of arugula greeted her palate. The main course featured a succulent rack of lamb, perfectly seared to a golden brown, accompanied by truffle-infused risotto adorned with edible gold leaf. Vibrant, seasonal vegetables were elegantly arranged around the plate, enhancing the visual appeal.The culinary journey continued with a dessert trio—a velvety dark chocolate mousse served in a delicate cup, a raspberry sorbet with a hint of mint, and a petite lemon tart adorned with edible flowers. Each dish was a symphony of flavours, and as she savoured each bite, her smile mirrored the delight of the enchanting eve
Chapter 68. They both burst into laughter simultaneously, as if they had planned it. Lucas, curious about Sheila's recent behaviour, was relieved that she did not panic. Lucas stood up, walked to Smith, kicked him with his leg, and said, 'Fool, do I own a company? How can you ask the name of the street for a favour? What is my business with Mr. Mayor? Go and meet him and settle your score with him, so get the hell out of here.' A wicked smirk spread across his face, and Sheila applauded him. He looked at Sheila with a side glance, expecting her to beg on his behalf. However, the reverse was the case; Sheila didn't care. He wondered where she had gotten her courage and what had caused her to change, as the Sheila he knew before was sympathetic—quick to pity and forgive. One of the bodyguards lunged for Smith, forcefully dragging him away as he set loose a torrent of desperate shouts and wails. Yet, not a single plea pierced Lucas's ears, he stayed really strong and didn't let the lo
Chapter 69.Sheila received the shocking news that the small company being managed by her mother was bankrupt, this poured cold water into her soul, why would her mother experience such? Sheila's mother built her business from scratch and it was doing well until Philla Group offered her partnership, a large amount of money was put into her mother's business and the company grew bigger than before. Phila Group had seen the future of the DMS company, he knew the only thing the company was lacking was capital, there was innovation and the chairman of Philla Group got a share in the company, he used shares to trick Mrs May and her husband to steal the company from them. All decisions of the company were made by Philla Group because of the support they rendered the company and this made Sheila's family useless and lost control of the operations of the company, now bankrupt. Lucas noticed Sheila didn't come out on time and went to the entrance of her room to knock, unknown to him, Shei
Chapter 70Sheila's heart raced as she noticed Jared approaching them. Wanting to avoid any awkward encounters, she swiftly pushed Lucas inside the nearby studio. The door closed softly behind them, muffling the sounds of the bustling entertainment industry outside.Inside the dimly lit studio, Lucas turned to Sheila with a puzzled expression. "What's going on? Why did you push me?"Sheila hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's just... I didn't want you to run into Jared. He's around, and things might get a bit complicated."Lucas raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Complicated? What will get complicated with Jared?"Sheila sighed, debating how much to make Lucas understand. "You just came here today, and you know that you and him are cat and dog, so I don't want him to pick on you or vice versa."Lucas nodded understandingly, realizing there was more to the situation than met the eye. "Alright, I get it. Thanks for the heads up."As they lingered in the studio, the air
“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
