Thanking him for being around her daughter. She showed so much attitude that Max didn't know how to dismiss the lady. They exchange numbers and she kindly asked Max to send a picture of her daughter at the ball. While she was lost in her thoughts, her phone pinged. She quickly rushed to check if it was Max and indeed it was him. She gasped, marvelled at what she saw. Her daughter was so beautiful. She couldn't believe she wasn't near her daughter to dress her up like the princess she was but she was a little grateful. Sheila looked stunning. She ran her fingers across her daughter's picture, looking at it with longing and then she was reminded about her time with young Sheila. It was truly remarkable. Sheila would always cling to her for everything but now her daughter couldn't even hug her. It was as if she was a pain in her daughter's life and she sighed detestfully.“What is making you sigh?” Mr Hockings said at her back, making her jump. She turned around happily going to meet hi
The party started and Sheila was already feeling bored. She didn't want to be here. She could use a little bit of shopping and going to her favorite restaurant but no, she had to spend it here. It was more of a business meeting than a party. She joined the women thinking it would have been better than standing idle, but the women were the worst. They talked about nothing important other than who's the richest man, how much gift he could afford to get for them and who is more hot and sexy between the men. She groaned inwardly as she felt disgusted. “Are all the women like this? Shameless and out of character,” she thought as she zoned them out, looking around the party. She noticed that the people who attended Abraham's party were not just ordinary people. They were people who screamed money, wealth and power. They were not people to be trifled with. Each of them were powerful in their various departments and could destroy the lives of anyone who they seemed fit. “How did Abraham come
Sheila smiled before properly facing the woman.“This bitch asked for it,” Sheila thought to herself. “What's your name again? I think it's joy right?” She asked as the woman smiled victoriously as she gave Sheila the attitude thinking she put Sheila in her place. “I'll give it to her. She's brave,” Sheila thought, giving joy a look over.“Yes, it's joy. You've got something to say?” Joy asked as other women looked keenly to see what was going to happen.“Actually, I do have something to say to you but I'll tell you if you answer this one question for me,” Sheila said as joy became self aware.“W…why? Why should I answer anything you have to ask?” Joy asked as Sheila just smiled sweetly. “After all, it's just a harmless question, right guys?” She asked as other women supported her. She turned to joy smiling. “It's okay. You don't have to answer if you are scared,” Sheila said as joy was seen contemplating if she should answer Sheila.“Do not fall for that sweet smile she's giving you.
“Come on, Miss Hockings. You of all people know that the other competitors have no chance against Corner and Thompson. So, please answer the question,” another man said.“Well, Abraham is a lion. He's the king of this jungle. I don't see anything stopping him from winning. Thompson is just an amateur when it comes to the game. So, with that being said, Abraham would win. If you don't believe me then let's stake your money. Let's have a bet,” Sheila said as the men marveled. Abraham just gave Sheila a nod as she scoffed inwardly. “I'm not on your side. This is to save my head,” she thought.“Miss Hockings, you play bet?” Another man asked.“No, but for Abraham, I'm willing to. So, if you know that Abraham isn't going to win, don't be scared to stake your money,” she said, confidently. “50 million dollars,” she stated as the men looked at her and then Abraham as he laughed.“Guys, don't look at me. You all caused it for yourself,” Abraham said as some men who didn't believe Abraham woul
“So, Mr Corner, what do you think about competing with Keith Thompson? I heard both of you are vying for Anderson's project,” the news personnel asked as Abraham smiled.“Well, to be honest with you, I don't know what to think. Thompson might be talented but he's still an amateur,” Abraham said as the news anchor laughed. “No offense there but you asking me that question is like asking if I can compete with my father. I see myself as a father to Thompson, so if he wins, I'll give him my blessing. After all, losing isn't so bad,” Abraham said as Camila scoffed, while the news anchor gushed.“Truly, like they say. You are truly remarkable and wise. There aren't so many people as mature as you are in the industry. I hope Keith Thompson will be able to learn from you,” she said. Keith was boiling with rage.“Well, it's his choice. We can only take a horse to the river but we can't force it to drink water,” Abraham said, smiling.“What a pretentious man. How dare he?” Camila shouted angril
“I don't think your job is to report anything to Miss Hockings here or follow her around like a lost puppy. Go back to your post which is outside till she needs to go out,” Adam said, referring to Max while ignoring Sheila. Sheila has really had enough of this man. He was disrespectful even with his low social status just because Abraham trusts him and leaves him in charge of his dealings. She just raised her hands and slapped him, making his face turn. Both Adam and Max were shocked. None of them was expecting that. Adam turned to glare at her and she slapped him again before he could even do that and when he forcefully turned to hit her or something, she waved her hand in the air, slapping him so hard that the impact of the slap made him fall on the ground. She didn't wait for him to get back up, she placed her shoe on his chest, pushing him on the ground.“Stay down there,” she commanded, pushing him forcefully as she kicked him by the side. “That's where you belong. You should lea
Abraham came back late in the evening after all the meetings and interviews he had to do. He entered inside as a maid stood by the door to collect his suit jacket. He handed it over to her as he walked to the dining area and at the same time, Sheila was coming down the stairs as she met up with him.“I want that news anchor sued and arrested,” Sheila said, folding her hands as Abraham turned to look at her while pouring himself water from a glass jug.“Good day to you too and thanks for asking,” he said, walking to the sitting room to take a seat while Sheila rolled her eyes, following him.“Did you hear what I said?” She asked, following him as sat down.“Loud and clear but why I'm I sueing her? What did she do exactly?” Abraham asked as Sheila scoffed, shocked that Abraham could ask that.“She was doing an interview with you but what I don't understand is why my name was there. What was she playing at? She doesn't have any right to ask such questions about me,” Sheila said as Abraha
“Okay, let's hear your side of the story and it better be good or else you won't know what you're entering,” Abraham threatened as Max swallowed.“No problem,” he shrugged, looking at Adam before he continued. “I wasn't doing any of the stuff he said I was doing,” Max said as Adam scoffed.“Really? So, you want to say that I am lying?” Adam asked as Max sighed, looking at nothing in particular before turning to Adam.“Hey, you've said what you had to say and I didn't interrupt, so please can I finish?” Max asked.“Yes, you can finish,” Adam said, begrudgingly.“Good, thank you,” then he turned to Abraham. “I wasn't selling or giving out information like he stated. She saw the news this morning and just asked when you had the time to go out for the interview and I was near, so I answered. My one job has always been Sheila Hockings. I've been asked to monitor her and bring in information about anything she does and we all know that Sheila Hockings is tough. If we do it the way you want,
