Chapter 95Furrowed brows and clenched jaw softened into a forced smile as he turned to respond to Madam Cinderella, masking his initial anger.His mind was still on what he saw on his phone."Why would he text him for a simple thing, this shows his level of incompetence" he muttered silently Mr. Mayor appreciated Lucas for his contribution to settling the rift between his wife and asked for his permission. They continued their discussion because he noticed that Lucas's demeanour had changed as he fixed his gaze on his phone. Lucas let out a faint smile and dropped his phone beside him, he told Mr. Mayor to continue their discussion about King Marcus. Mr. Mayor sighed and said "I don't know the level of information you have about King Marcus, but you must be careful and be ready before he gets you, the last person who showed interest in assisting me was dropped by his men." he eyes beamed with fear as he said this and pushed for a while. Lucas was still unshaken by all he said, it
Chapter 96Fabian focused his attention on the car he was driving, he did not know what had transpired between his friend and Mr. Mayor, and he didn't want to add fuel to the burning fire with his question, he knew Luacs would speak up when he was tired. Lucas clenched his hand on the phone and said "How could he send me this silly text? He is just a useless man" he cursed as he gazed at his phoneSean had texted him when he was with Mr. Mayor, he messaged him that all the billboards he posted on the advert for the blockbuster movie had been dismantled together with all the posters they posted on them. The part that got Luxas angry was when he ended his text with what to do next. Why would someone who had managed a company for 10 good years not know what to do when this kind of thing happened? He told Fabian about the text and Fabian showed his disappointment in Lucas for getting angry over little things. "Do you mean that thing is little?" he asked gritting his teeth"Sure, it is
Chapter 97Sean was not happy with the way Lucas spoke to him earlier on the phone, he dialled Uncle Kendrick's number and asked if he was still working on it. And got a positive response. He smiled and he dropped his phone on the table, no one knew what they were plotting this time around, it was between Kendrick and Sean. "Lucas, get ready to go back to where you came from, you think you can scare us with Jasper? Jasper will be dead soon and I wonder who you will meet again. As for your girlfriend Sheila, I will make sure she warms my bed. Let me continue being your slave in the meantime" A wicked smirk spread across his face as he declared He called the head security officer to meet him at the office. A huge man in his 50s in a black suit entered his office. He bowed and said "You sent for me""Yes I did, I know you are aware of the advert for the blockbuster movie we produced last 2 months here, the premiere of the movie will be done and the female lead actress was used in the
Chapter 98Lucas had called Jasper to send his boy to South and East Road to get whoever messed with the poster, he didn't count on Sean's ability and this was unknown to Sean. Jasper's boys watched as New billboards were mounted with posters. No one noticed them, even the security brought by Sean never knew they were around. Immediately the worker that pasted the billboard left, and four hooligans came out of nowhere and began to tear the posters again, the security saw this and moved out of their hidden place. They wanted to run away but they were nabbed and arrested. One of the Jasper boys, Bloody saw this and dialled his number to inform him what happened told him the condition of where they went, he told them to come back home since the instructions given by Lucas was if there was security from Sean, they should not show their faces. Those hooligans were taken to the basement in Copper Entertainment, they were beaten from night till morning before Sean could arrive. They wer
Chapter 99.Sheila's parents had decided to go back to their place to monitor their business but Mrs.Blake was worried about the Philla Group chairman. She knew the man wouldn't let them be until they danced to his tune. She told her husband about her worries and David said she did not worry because they were not together as one before that was why he could treat them. Mrs. Blake looked at her husband disdainfully and said "What can you do?""I can do more than you think because I'm a man""Do you need to tell me you are a man before I know it? " she retorted"I don't, but am supposed to show you I'm a man" he stood up from his chair and stretched his muscles. Mrs. Blake scoffed and said, "Is that what to use to identify a man, if I show you a man's muscle, I'm sure you will immediately agree you are not a man". Her expression changed before she could finish her statement, her husband walked close to her and asked what suddenly changed her mood. "If you are worried about Philla Gr
Chapter 100Shame washed over Sheila when her mother barged in; she did not want Lucas to look down on her and give her a bad impression. She swiftly walked to Lucas, wrapped her hand around his waist and said "I love you, Lucas, if selling me out would make you happy, please do. I am ready to believe your lies and your truths" Her mother looked at her disdainfully and was short of words. She was ajar. Lucas noticed her and said "You are priceless Sheila, I can never stop paying you for that, so no one is buying you than me, I will buy you over and over" Lucas's eyes were full of emotions, Sheila knew he meant it this time around and she decided to confirm it"Do you mean it? She asked "Yes, I do… He placed his mouth near her ear and whispered "Your mother is here, I heard her arguing with your father when I was coming back, I heard everything she said, if I should say I don't, I will justify her statement, let's continue acting. I'm now a good actor" he smirked as he moved his m
Chapter 101Sheila burst into laughter when Lucas said she wouldn't be going out the next day, she snapped her fingers across his face and told him to wake up that her parents were not there he should stop behaving like a husband-to-be. Lucas shot her a dead glance and swayed his head. He wondered how to cope with this playful being if at all they got married, he focused on his food and stopped giving attention to her so that she would be serious. Lucas finished his food and stood up to pack the plates he used to eat but Sheila didn't allow him, she quickly packed everything and left the room. She refused to come back to the room because she knew she had gotten on Lucas's nerves. She had played with serious issues, she used the plate as an excuse to leave the room. She walked to the living room and met her parents talking about their journey to the place where they had their business the next day. She felt a pang in her heart, the moment she had been enjoying with Lucas would soon
Chapter 102."Yes, are you not going to get married? How long are you going to court for?" Mr. Blake asked Mrs. Blake gritted her teeth and looked at her husband disdainfully. She wore a fake smile and told Lucas that her husband was a joker and said" If you are not ready for marriage yet, please do not rush, keep on getting to know each other. My husband was just pulling your legs to know your mind, do take time and get married anytime you are ready". Mr. Blake did not want to lose face in the presence of Lucas and he supported his wife and said "I was just joking, to see how serious you are, to be a good husband, you have to be financially buoyant, there is no understanding wife without money, I pray things to get better soon for you" he remark Lucas kept his gaze down and said "Thank you, sir,""We will be going back to our place tomorrow, I just want to thank you for playing the role of parents in Sheila's life and you should continue. I know I owe you a lot, please do not stop
“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.

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
