“Come on, love. Let's find you a seat,” Abraham said, smiling, holding Sheila on her waist.“How are you so good at pretending and lying?” Sheila whispered.“I'm excellent and good at what I do and I do not wear my emotions on my sleeves,” Abraham bragged. Sheila rolled her eyes. She noticed she always seemed to be rolling her eyes whenever she was with Abraham.“I don't think I have the patience to sit with these old boring people. I might actually go crazy,” Sheila said.“Don't worry. You'll survive just fine,” Abraham said, guiding Sheila to her seat. Sheila was expecting Abraham to open her seat for her but he just left her and sat on his chair.“What a narcissist man. To think he was playing romantic,” she thought, sitting on her chair. Sheila sat down and watched them talk about boring stuff that didn't interest her. She decided she needed a drink or she was going to go crazy. She was about to stand up when Abraham stopped her.“Where to?” He asked, raising his brows up.“I need
Keith and Camila came back home and Camila was so tired.“I'm really tired, Keith,” she grumbled, sitting on the bed.“Of course you're tired. You've been jumping around since morning. So, it's expected for you to be tired,” Keith said, holding Camila's legs. “I'll give you a foot massage.”“I would love that. Thank you,” Camila said, lying on the bed comfortably while Keith massaged her feet.“That's good Keith. Please keep up with the good work. I didn't know you knew how to do this stuff,” Camila said, enjoying her massage.“Don't come to me next time because I won't be able to do this for you next time,” Keith joked.“I'll surely come next time and you'll not be able to refuse me. Keith chuckled at what Camila had said. He knew she was telling the truth. He was still going to massage her foot if she ever came again. There was no way he was going to refuse her. When he turned back to look at her, she was already sleeping. He chuckled, keeping her leg quietly, then stood up and kept
Camila woke up and found out that Keith wasn't by her side. She touched his side of his bed and found out it was cold which meant he had left long ago. She became confused and got up from the bed.“Keith!” She called but got no answer. She furrowed her eyes checking the bathroom but he wasn't there, so she left the room. “Keith!” She called again and got no answer so she went downstairs and heard some noise in the kitchen, she turned and walked straight to the kitchen and saw Keith standing there wearing an apron. “What are you doing?” She asked, making him jump.“Oh God! Camila, you almost scared me to death,” he said, holding his chest.“Sorry. Good morning. I woke up and didn't see you, so I became worried,” she said, going close to him.“So, you missed me?” Keith asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her.“You wish,” she joked, looking round the kitchen. “So, what are you making?” She asked.“I was supposed to surprise you with breakfast in bed but since you're already here, you'll just
Sheila was going downstairs when she met Abraham's annoying assistant. He was just staring at her. Gosh, she hated this man.“What are you staring at? Could you get lost. Do not spoil my day with your presence,” she said, hitting his shoulder while passing. “Fool,” she muttered as the assistant just turned to watch her with a grin expression. She went downstairs to see Abraham already seated eating his food. She didn't even spare him a glance. She sat far away from him.“Still angry about last night, Sheila love?” Abraham asked, smiling sweetly which made Sheila's stomach twist. She hated it when he smiled like that.“This man is really a sick bastard,” she thought. “You should know last night wasn't my fault. It was all on you. You always get on my nerves. I've always told you that your stubbornness could get you killed but you wouldn't listen. Just be a good girl and make me happy by doing as I say and nothing would happen to you but you think doing your thing your way is better wh
“Tell Abraham that whatever…“How about you tell him yourself,” Sheila said, cutting Camila off.“What?” Camila asked, confused.“Whatever nonsense you would like to say, tell him yourself because I would walk up to Keith if I wanted to tell him something. I'm not your errand girl,” Sheila said.“Don't you ever go anywhere near Keith,” Camila growled.“You don't get to tell me what and what not to do and next time refrain from wasting my precious time,” Sheila said walking away, while Camila folded her fist. “Ha! Take that bitch,” Sheila said, walking around for what to shop. When she was done shopping, she went to the counter, checked in the things she bought and paid for them signaling the guard that came with her to carry them to the car with a smile on her face. “Please be careful with them. I wouldn't want any of them to get spoiled. While you're at it, why don't you excuse me. I'll just use the ladies room and be back in a few seconds,” she said, not waiting for them to say anyt
“Be careful. Abraham Corner is a very dangerous man. I don't want him hurting you,” Mr. Hockings said, feeling worried for his daughter and for some time now, Sheila felt happy. It has been a long time since her father showed that he cared. “I'll be careful daddy. This time would be different from last time,” Sheila said.“I hope so. We can't afford to flip,” Mr. Hockings said.“I know that daddy. That's why I'm working hard to keep my anger in check and working hard towards the set goals,” Sheila said.“That's good,” Mr. Hockings said, lost in his thoughts. “What did you say you need my help with? I hope you've not gotten yourself in trouble? Mr. Hockings glared hard at Sheila who rolled her eyes.“Calm down, dad. Nothing of that is going to happen anytime soon and about that, I'll tell you when that happens,” Camila calmed her dad down who already looked worried but hid it well. “Come, let's go down. I need to go,” Sheila and her father came downstairs to see the guard Abraham ass
It had been weeks since everywhere was quiet and everyone was doing their own stuff preparing for the end of the year business meeting and Keith and Camila wondered why everywhere was quiet at Sheila and Abraham's side.“Maybe they've decided to live a good life,” Camila said, as Keith gave her the look. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Really? Really Camila? You really think that?” Keith asked.“No, I don't. I just maybe want to believe that. I mean we really need some peace and quiet in our lives. I don't get why they won't let us be.“You don't have to worry. However they attack, we'll give it to them the same way. I'm not scared of anybody or anyone and I'll always protect you,” Keith promised as Camila nodded.“And I'll also protect you. I won't let them harm you,” Camila said as Keith laughed, making her frown. “Why are you laughing?’ she asked as her hands went akimbo.“Um… nothing in particular,” Keith said, seeing her serious face.“No, come on, tell me. It has to be s
“Dad, come on. This is not the time to leave anybody out. We need to move as one and she didn't blurt out our plan against Thompson,” Sheila reasoned.“I'll tell her. So, who's this your friend who will help us with our plan?” Mr. Hockings asked.“You don't need to bother. I'll tell you when the time is right but first, we have to put our plan to motion immediately and you have to start with telling mum. I need to go downstairs. I can't be here for too long. He might suspect something,” Sheila said, leaving her father grumbling. “Stop doing that and hurry up dad,” she said, going downstairs.“I really hope she knows what she's doing,” Mr. Hockings muttered to himself leaving his office.“Come on, Camila. Be fast. We need to get to the office early. Mrs Genevieve is waiting for us at the office, and I still don't know why she wants to see us,” Keith said, curiously as Camila came out of the dressing room.“Who knows? It might be because of the end of the year business meeting,” Camila
