Chapter 53Everyone was surprised when Lucas screamed my woman, how could a poor man like him have a beautiful lady like Sheila as his woman? Sheila's heart fluttered she was happy that Lucas had been feeling the same way she was feeling or was he just pulling a stunt in front of people? Rosie moved closer to Tania and released Sheila's hair from her grip. Grace scoffed and shot Lucas a wicked stare, she held her hand closer to her head like she was trying to recall something and she snapped out immediately. "I know him, he is a beggar, he used to come to the location to beg. Wow! Sheila, I have been wondering why you are living a miserable life among the actors, this so-called man of yours has answered my question, are you married or engaged? What is the level of your relationship? She asked SmackA slap landed on her face, Lucas had signalled to James and Jamaes commanded Rosie to slap her, she was caught unaware because of her rant. She lost her balance and staggered for a w
Chapter 54In order not to make James die as he promised if they refused to take something from the store, Sheila looked for clothes that had the lowest price, despite that, the ones she saw were still expensive. She took 3 plain shirts, 3 pairs of trousers, 2 polos and 3 ties and 2 pairs of flat shoes for Lucas. The manager told her to take more but she said she was satisfied. If she had known that James would pay for everything should had taken, she wouldn't have taken a pin from that store. The little things she took were worth a million dollars. Manager James would use his 2 years salary to pay for the items. Sheila was surprised about what happened out there she didn't know what to ask Lucas, she was just looking at him with astonishment. Lucas was not her husband that she could start asking and yelling at immediately for an explanation, he was just a friend and she had to be diplomatic in asking him in order not to think of controlling him or digging into his private life. Lu
Chapter 55He rang Fabian to meet him with a nice car that they would be heading to Nova Dynamic Group to sign his deed of agreement. He headed to his room and had a change of clothes, he picked from the ones they just got from Harrison and Elle Couture. Before he could finish dressing, his phone beeped, and he saw a text from Steve, he had warned Steve not to call him and the manager was obedient; he always sent messages if he had an important message to deliver. He opened the message and read:"The date for the audition has been set. I haven't sent an invitation to Miss Lydia and Mr Jared because you are not aware of the date. I don't know if you would be comfortable with the date the memo has been sent to your email. I will be patiently waiting for your reply, sir.Thank you sir Manager Steve"He replied to the message that he had seen the memo since morning and that he was okay with the date that he should go ahead.He strode out and waited for Fabian to pick him up. Fabian arri
Chapter 56Lucas prepared to leave by looking for a possible exit, but he was stopped by Mr. Mayor."You can't just go like that Mr, this woman has done a lot of damages with her mouth, how about witness little punishment she will receive" he chuckledMadam Cinderella failed to understand that her husband was angry she was about to talk when Mr. Mayor grabbed her in the neck, and saliva almost choked her to death. That was the first time he would lay his hand on her for the past 30 years they married. Fabian could not hold himself and bailed her out from her husband, because he saw the woman's eyes turning pale and she was sweating profusely. He knew if she could spend another minute in the hand of her husband, she would give up a ghost. She fell on floor and struggled to breath. She cough out blood and remain on the follow."How can you be so useless and nonchalant like this? The company has gone down to the extent I'm borrowing money from friends to get supplies and pay workers, I
Chapter 57Lydia's life took dramatic turns when he left Lucas, she was unaware that Lucas could be behind her losing the most important lead role that would make her more famous than before.Lydia was depressed, many negative things were going on in her life, and her mind didn't know what to think, should it think about Jared, who made her lose her useless husband, despite being useless, her life was better around him. Or she should think about Jasper who was stalking her around or Sheila who was living and getting the fame that she was supposed to be getting, with no one by her side except her mother whom she had seen as her role model. She thought for a while before her mind tricked her back to Sean who she had just met. "Sean would be useful, I need to maintain a good relationship with him to put me first in his life" she muttered to herself. Not knowing Lucas had been dealing with Sean and his elders. She picked up her phone and rang Sean, she asked where they should meet and
Chapter 58Signing a deal with Mr Mayor wasn't for anything but for power, he wondered how that man could tolerate his silly wife and still show her off. If he had known that the woman would cause a nuisance, he wouldn't have called her to greet Lucas. Lucas and his friend left his place, Fabian dropped him off at Sheila's house. He would have dropped him at her entrance, but he did not want her to see him getting down from the car. Lucas was lucky to get home before Sheila, he changed his dress and spread it on his bed. He decided to wash the clothes he wore the previous day when he heard an alarm that someone was at the entrance. He peeped and saw Sheila. Sheila gave a warm smile and her heart fluttered at the sight of Lucas. She felt like hugging him but the expression on Lucas' face seemed weird, he was hungry, and he forgot to branch at a nice restaurant and eat when he went out. He just greeted her and turned back to where he was coming from, Sheila went straight to the kitc
Chapter 59Lucas could not fathom what his family was up to, he congratulated Sheila, but he could not react in her presence in order not to suspect anything, did these people have another account elsewhere, where would they get money to do the anniversary or did they want to use Sheila as bait to get him, these were the thought going on in Lucas mind. He wished Sheila could excuse him and punch something angrily, but he kept his anger under control. He asked Sheila if there was any place to visit or if they should go back home and Sheila said none and that they should get going to go and rest. "would you like to come to Elite tomorrow?" she asked "I want to go out tomorrow to hunt a job, if there is a vacancy in Elite, I would like to check" he chuckled Sheila gazed a dead glance and said "The company is recruiting a lot of people these days, but I don't think it is a good idea to work there""Why it is not a good idea to work there?""I won't be comfortable with the kind of work
Chapter 60Lydia made a grand entrance into the Elite Entertainment Industry, accompanied by her manager Kelly, The moment she stepped out of the sleek car, it was evident that elegance was her signature. Her poise exuded confidence, and every step she took seemed to command attention. She wore a gown that accentuated her grace. The fabric flowed elegantly, mirroring the sophistication she effortlessly carried. Her attire, a symphony of rich colours and exquisite details, whispered of a refined taste and a keen eye for fashion.Her beauty was captivating; her features, like a masterpiece, drew admiration from other actors who came for an audition. Fluffy waves framed her face, and her eyes sparkled with a combination of intelligence and charisma. The subtle curve of her smile hinted at both charm and quiet confidence that left a lasting impression. She had determined to steal the attention of everyone there through her beauty As she navigated through the crowd, heads turned involunta
“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
