“That's by the way. I wanted to ask how Keith was doing but I think I already have an idea. What's he using as a coping mechanism?” Mrs Hockings asked.“Well, he's got a big project coming his way. So, he's buried himself in it. I think it's good for him and after the big motivational speech your daughter gave, I think it helped him though,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings became surprised.“I think you got the wrong daughter because the Sheila I know is no motivational speaker,” Mrs Hockings said.“You'll be shocked if you were there,” Camila said.“I noticed there's been a change in her. I just hope it continues for the best,” Mrs Hockings said. Camila was about to comment when her phone rang.“Excuse me. I'll take this,” she said.“Go ahead,” Mrs Hockings said, drinking her juice when Camila picked the call.“Hello Gracie! What's up?” Camila asked.“No, I'm not in the office. Is there a problem?” Camila asked as Mrs Hockings looked at her. She nodded her head to tell Mrs Hockings that
“I beg your pardon,” Adam said as Sheila was so quick to reply.“Oh please don't. It would be embarrassing if you do,” she said, smiling, placing a piece of her hair at the back of her ear. “But I'll save you the trouble since I don't feel like talking to you anyway. Why is Abraham throwing a party? What's the occasion?” Sheila asked as Adam laughed. Sheila looked at the man as he laughed with a smile on her face.“Looks like you're not so cool after all,” Adam said.“And what do you mean by that?” Sheila asked.“It seems he doesn't tell you anything either. At least, I'm better than you. It looks like he still keeps you in the dark about everything. I guess I'm still more important than you always will be,” Adam said mockingly. Sheila scoffed softly, looking at Adam.“I really do pity you. Seriously, I do,” she said, giving him a mocking pitiful smile. “Well let me ease you from your worries. This is what Abraham told me and I quote, “when Adam comes, he'll tell you everything and gi
Sheila finished making the call as she hid her phone. She opened the door to see Adam standing there. She just sighed, looking at him while placing her hands on his waist.“Do you need something?” Sheila asked.“No. Just wanted to know if you needed something,” Adam said as Sheila scoffed.“Need something? Boy, if I needed something, Do you think I would have come to you? Why don't you piss off and don't forget to stay away from my sight. Seeing you could make me want to actually murder you and it's not something I think both of us would want,” Sheila said with a smile on her face as Adam nodded, leaving but he paused looking back and Sheila was ready for whatever he was going to say.“You know what, I would very much like to speak my mind,” Adam said.“Okay, please don't hold back on my account. I would very much like to hear what you have to say,” Sheila said with a smile on her face.“You think Abraham wants you or even likes you?” Adam asked as Sheila hummed. “You're nothing to hi
Abraham tossed his phone on the seat of the car as he looked out of the window. Opposite him was Sheila in the cafe, sitting down with none other than his archenemies.“Drive the car. We're going home,” Abraham commanded as Adams smiled from where he sat.“This is going to be fun,” he thought.Sheila went straight home after she was done with whatever she was doing. She went straight to her room to see the door opened. She wondered who opened her door when she went inside to see Abraham sitting on her chair and his guards were searching her room and Adam stood at the back of Abraham giving her a smile that said he won this time. Sheila just sighed, not actually prepared for whatever is going to happen.“What is going on here?” She asked, looking straight at Abraham.“Well, Adam here told me that he thinks you have a spare phone you are using,” Abraham said as Sheila looked at Adam.“Well, isn't he a fool as always?” Sheikh asked, turning her attention to Abraham. “So, did you find any
Keith had just finished work and was packing his stuff to go home when Chris came in.“Good evening boss,” he greeted.“What's up, Chris? Anything for me?” Keith asked, looking for something.“There's an envelope for you. It looks more like an invitation card to me,” Chris said, looking at the card. When Keith heard that, he looked at Chris then at the invitation card before rolling his eyes.“That's because it's an invitation card. Just drop it on the table and leave,” Keith said, as Chris did as he was told. Keith went back to what he was looking for. Just as Chris left, Camila came in.“Hello handsome! Ready to go?” She asked, smiling as her eyes landed on the invitation card. “They've sent the invitation card already?” She asked with a sigh.“Look, if you don't want to go, then we won't. I'm not particularly happy to go to that stupid party of his,” Keith said as Camila smiled.“Yeah, I know but we have to go. Now, we have to do things that we don't want to do if we're going to ca
“Are you trying to say you're going to insult me?” The woman asked.“Is that how it sounded because I don't know,” Sheila said, then shrugged before turning to the men with a happy cheer. “Okay handsome gentlemen. I need to go eat. I'm still sleepy and still in my hunger phase. By the time I've eaten and gone back to sleep, I might forget that you all came here,” Sheila said as the men laughed. Sheila was leaving when the woman called her. She paused but didn't turn.“Let's meet again some other time,” she said as Sheila smirked, looking back.“Sure we might but don't be surprised if I don't acknowledge you,” Sheila said as the woman kept an annoyed face.“Meaning?” She asked as Sheila shrugged.“I mean, you're not the type of person I roll with,” then she left. The lady clenched her fists angry at how she was insulted. Mr Loveday gave a nervous laugh.“Maria Henson was just given a smackdown,” Frank said whistling as Mr Loveday nudged him.“Do you have a death wish?” Maria asked as F
“So, how's the project you're working on going?” Camila asked.“I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate it but I'm okay. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine,” Keith said, holding her two hands.“How can I not worry about you? When you get like this, it makes me sad,” Camila said as Keith smiled.“My project is moving great. I've gotten so many potential investors and I'll be throwing a meeting with them very soon. It's going to be spectaculous,” Keith said as Camila smiled.“You look hot,” Camila blurted out, shocking Keith.“Whoa! Where's that coming from?” He asked, amused.“I don't know. I find you attractive now,” Camila said, shrugging.“Only now? What about before?” Keith asked.“I've always found you hot but today is looking different. How about we have one for the road?” Camila asked, giving Keith a mischievous glint.“Your wishes are my command,” he said as Camila chuckled.“Good morning ma'am. How may we be of service?” A sales attendant came, smiling at Sheila. Shei
“So, what brings you here Mrs Genevieve?” Camila asked.“Want to chase me out already so you can be with this guy I don't approve of?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Camila paused before finding what to say.“I don't even know what to say to you but please just answer me,” Camila struggled to say.“I love you too and Keith asked me to go shopping for you for that damn party Corner hosted,” Mrs Genevieve said as Camila turned to Keith.“What? But.. I..,” Camila stuttered as Mrs Genevieve chuckled.“You've got our girl stuttering,” she said as Keith glared at her. “Okay. I'll mind my business,” she said, zipping her lips.“Didn't you say that going shopping for new clothes makes it look like I'm happy going to that damn party?” Camila asked.“Well, you're Camila Joffrey. One of the most beautiful, hard working business women in this country and if you're going to a party which happens to be hosted by our most wanted enemy, you should look your best. You shouldn't be caught unfresh,” Keith said
