Chapter 113.Fear engulfed his features immediately his boss abruptly ended the call. He knew his boss whenever he was angry and no one dared to go against his decision at that moment. He went on his knees facing Sheila and Lucas, he began to beg them for mercy, he said his eyes were paining him which was why he could not see her clearly Saun and his girlfriend whom he had given the laptop to were brought in by security, and the manager landed a slap on Saun's face that he was a thief for collecting the laptop from him. If he was that important, why was he and his girlfriend not shown on the television that they should open their eyes and see Sheila on the television? He pointed to the television screen for them to see Sheila. The lady covered her mouth with astonishment and a grin came through the corner of her mouth. She did not run mouth with the fool that brought her. She was so happy that she saw Sheila in person and demanded to take a picture with her immediately but Sheila
Chapter 114Sheila didn't want to go further because of Lucas's facial expressions, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on his mind."I don't know your chairman, so if you lose your job so be it" she sneered"I'm sorry ma, he said you are powerful and can stop supply into his store, his decision is final, only you can talk to him. Please, have mercy on me. I do not deserve your forgiveness " "Then stop begging,"She gestured to Lucas and they prepared to leave the store. The manager quickly grabbed Lucas by his leg and continued begging. "Please, help me beg your wife sir" he was drenched in sweat and became disoriented. Lucas was embarrassed and his gaze met Sheila's gaze. Why would he refer to them as husband and wife? He was not deaf when Saun was saying what Sheila told him 7 years ago, he thought they might have probably tied the knot. Lucas violently shook his leg from his grip and he fell on the floor. "I will forgive you because of your wife who is battling cancer"

Chapter 117Lydia was extremely happy that she acted the scene with Sheila, and used the scene as an opportunity to retaliate against the slap Sheila gave her in her home.

Lucas's eyes flickered with satisfaction as he observed Jared and Lydia's combative exchange through the CCTV camera. He knew Lydia could not maintain a relationship where she benefited nothing, there was no love in her dictionary than materials. A light grin spread across his face, and a glint of amusement danced in his eyes as he watched the unfolding scene of their disagreement. The drama seemed to amuse him, and he relished the sight of their discord. As the tension escalated on the monitor, Lucas leaned back in his chair, revelling in the unexpected turn of events. The satisfaction in his expression hinted at a secret pleasure derived from witnessing the clash between the two, a thought snapped into his mind and he rewinded to where Jared kissed Lydia hard.

Chapter 119.Sheila did not bother to wash dishes since she had maids who could help her to do it. She just put the dishes in the washer and came back to the dining room. He saw Lucas reading and pondering about what he read from the invitation card. Sheila quickly met him to ask about going to the party together. "How has your day been today? " she asked focusing her gaze on her fingernail"Not bad, I practised well today, I have located a library, and I will be going there often to practice my skills on my laptop""That is great, hope the library is not too far from here?"Lucas was silent for a while because he knew Sheila might have requested a visit to the library, if he lied that the library was not far, he might not have had an excuse for any time she requested a visit. "It's a bit far, don't worry about the transport, I'm managing the $5000 you gave me recently""Tomorrow is Saturday, will you be free? ""Not really but if you have any errands to send me, let me know""I d
Chapter 120Lucas was not only angry because of Sheila's curiosity, but also a wicked family called the Coopers. He scurried into his room to complete his task.

Many media had been placing orders for the movie to be shown on their media, and each of them would pay nothing less than 10 million to have the right to the movie. There won't be direct sales of the movie because of embezzlement and extra cost of production, Lucas did this to cut costs and avoid loss, who knows the debt Coopers might be owing. He always u
“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

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.

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
