“Hey agnes, it's me Camila,” Camila said as she heard shuffling around. “I'm sorry, did I disturb your sleep?” Camila asked.“No, it's okay,” Mrs Hockings said, moving to the window. “Although I wasn't expecting your call,” she added, looking back to see if Mr Hockings was still sleeping.“Yeah, I know. I'm even surprised I called you,” Camila said, chuckling to ease the tension. “But, how are you? Are you okay? I was worried about you. Is everything okay with you?” Camila asked as Mrs Hockings chuckled. “What is it?” Camila asked.“Nothing. It's been a long time since someone asked me that. Well, I've been better. I got scolded by my daughter and it didn't go well,” Mrs Hockings said, sniffing. “She doesn't want to even talk to me,” she said.“How are you doing? For real this time?” Camila asked.“Not so good but I'll be fine. I need to go. Thanks for calling,” Mrs Hockings said, disconnecting the line. Camila sighed, looking at her phone for 30 minutes. She felt really bad for Agnes
“So, are we meeting Sheila today? I'm already sick of seeing her face,” Camila said, placing her hand on her jaw. Keith entered the office with Mrs Genevieve folding her arms. She wasn't smiling at all. He was folding the wrist of his shirt.“Why the long face Mrs Genevieve?” He asked as Camila turned to Mrs Genevieve.“I am really dreading that woman's face. I'm sick of her already,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith chuckled.“Well, the Lord has heard your prayers. She isn't coming,” Keith said as Camila rolled her eyes.“She can't even keep business protocol. She's supposed to be here but she's bailing on us,” Camila said with disgust.“What a despicable woman,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith just looked at the two women. They really had a lot in common.“Well, that's not the reason she's not here,” Keith said.“Then please tell us the reason she's not here and do not start defending her,” Mrs Genevieve.“He won't try it,” Camila said, glaring at Keith who just smiled nervously.“Abraham go
“You're going for Anderson's project?” She asked as he sighed.“What happened to not saying a word?” He asked as she shrugged.“Just got curious,” Sheila said as Abraham rolled his eyes.“Haven't you heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat?” Abraham asked as Sheila smiled.“Well, this cat can't die easily and you know why?” She asked, bringing her head closer for a whisper. “Because this cat is smart and not a pushover,” she said smiling, before leaning on the chair. “So, tell me, why the Anderson project? Thompson is going for the project. Did you choose it because of Thompson?” Sheila asked as Abraham smirked.“What do you think?” Abraham asked.“Well, I think you want to spite Thompson and scare him. You want him to be shaken up and make a mistake,” Sheila said as Abraham shrugged.“You can think all you want,” he said, smiling. Abraham didn't give Sheila a direct answer but she knew the man. He could be petty at times. She just looked at him with disgust before putting a smi
“Can you tell me why all these companies are competing for the Anderson project?” She asked as her husband turned to look at the television. He folded his newspaper, keeping it on his lap.“Anderson was a rich and wealthy man before he died. He didn't have anyone to take over his property so some were given to charity but his estate and lands are being sold to the highest bidder. Whoever wins the contract will be a lot richer. That's why every businessman is vying for his properties,” Mr Hockings answered, going back to his reading but Mrs Hockings wasn't done asking her question. Mr Hockings sighed, rolling his eyes. “Ask!” He said, folding his newspaper.“Sorry,” Mrs Hockings smiled sheepishly before asking her question. “Isn't Abraham Corner very rich and wealthy? I don't think he needs the Anderson project. He was way richer than Anderson from what I gathered. Why does he want it?” Mrs Hockings asked. “Simple. Thompson wants it,” Mr Hockings said simply as Mrs Hockings made an O
“What do you think about all that is going on?” Mr Kevin asked Mrs Genevieve during a game of chess.“What do you mean? If you're talking about this game, forget it. I'm going to destroy you,” Mrs Genevieve said as Mr Kevin rolled his eyes smiling.“I know you've been planning on that but I'm talking about Keith and Abraham Corner,” he said as Mrs Genevieve threw him a glare. “What?” He asked, with a smiling face.“Did you really have to call that name here when I'm in a good mood? Are you trying to make me angry?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Well, I was curious and I also called Keith,” Mr Kevin said as she rolled her eyes.“Whatever. What do you want to know?” Mrs Genevieve asked, folding her arms.“Who do you think is going to win the battle for Anderson's project?” Mr Kevin asked.“Abraham is really a good and dangerous opponent but I'm sure Keith will win,” Mrs Genevieve said with all seriousness. “What do you think?” She asked Mr Kevin.“I really do not think Keith would stand a chanc
“What's your name?” She asked.“Max,” he answered.“Max,” Sheila called. “Did you check the car?” She asked as he nodded.“Yes ma'am. The car isn't bugged. Where would you like to go ma'am? Max said, looking at Sheila through the rear window.“Abraham has eyes on me. For now, let's go shopping. I don't want to make a mistake in hesitation. We'll have to wait till he unground me,” Sheila said.“Copy that ma'am,” Max said with enthusiasm.“And, you have to act like you don't know me and that you don't like me. Abraham would want you to report me to him. So you have to act the part,” Sheila told him.“You don't have to worry ma'am. Boss has briefed me on everything,” Max said, smiling.“You smile too much. It's making me sick,” Sheila said, leaning her back on the seat as she closed her eyes, lost in her thoughts.“Sorry ma'am,” Max said but Sheila was too far lost in her thoughts to even listen.Sheila arrived at the shopping mall, going through some clothes when the attendant came to h
Look who we found here. If it isn't the two disrespectful women,” Sheila and Camila turned to see those three disgusting women from the auction as they both scoffed together.“You've got to be kidding me,” they both said in unison as they turned to each other, glaring at each other before turning to those women.“You want another round of beating?” Sheila asked, glaring at the three women.“Oh my! So disrespectful,” the short one said.“Oh, you three were even beaten and I was close to doing the same thing,” Camila said, folding her arms.“Such disrespectful young women. I suppose you two weren't taught how to be respectful,” the tall one said.“Scram!” Sheila snapped, making the three women jump.“No wonder you three don't have husbands. Three disgusting women,” Camila said with a smirk as they gasped.“I'm having a headache just staring at this foolish women,” Sheila said, walking out as Camila looked at the women, not smiling anymore.The women began to shiver under her gaze“Get lo
FLASHBACKS“I'm so sorry I haven't been able to call. Well, he became suspicious. He seized my phone and grounded me. No, you don't have to be worried. I am safe and I know how to take care of myself. I do not need saving,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at what the person from the other side said. “I am okay but I have something to tell you,” she said, sighing. “Well, he's going for the Anderson project. No, I won't tell Thompson anything. He wants to deal with Abraham himself, then let him do that. He's going to regret pushing me aside. I won't take it easy on him. No, I haven't told my parents anything yet. I plan to do that very soon. I wouldn't want them spoiling my plans just because they didn't know. My mom almost did that. I also want you to do something for me,” Sheila said as she continued to talk with the person on the phone. She paused, waiting for what he was going to say. She gave a sigh of relief when he asked her what she wanted to ask. “I need you to recommend a bodygu
