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
FLASHBACKSAfter hearing what Sheila had said, Mrs Genevieve became scared and aware. She searched for Sheila at the mall. She finally found Sheila, checking some clothes at the changing room.“These clothes are beautiful. You could have told me you had such clothes hidden earlier. You made me get angry searching for the right clothes,” Sheila scolded, while checking out the clothes.“And who would have known that I would find you here? It's the people who have nothing in this world and like to take from people that usually have so many choices,” Mrs Genevieve said, entering inside as Sheila smiled.“Seems you missed me, Genevieve?” Sheila said with a cocky smile on her face while Mrs Genevieve scoffed.“Don't even think about it,” Mrs Genevieve said.“Whatever floats your boat,” Sheila said, still checking the clothes.“Leave!” Mrs Genevieve ordered the sales attendants that were in the room.“What is this already? Why pass aggressions to these innocent people?” Sheila said mockingly
She got to the bathroom as she received a text from someone. It was Abraham asking her where she was. She scoffed, answering it while doing her business.“Of course, he heard the argument. Stupid man trying to monitor my movement,” she muttered, placing her phone on the sink, while washing her hands. She looked at herself in the mirror as a lady came in. She briefly looked at herself, arranging her hair before washing her hands again. When she was done, she picked up toilet paper, cleaned her hand and grabbed her phone to leave the restroom when the lady with her in the room called her name.“Sheila Hockings!” She called as Sheila turned to her.“Yes, do I know you?” Sheila asked, looking at the lady who smiled.“No, but I know you. I was asked to take care of you,” the lady said as Sheila smiled.“Take care of me?” She scoffed. “I'm sorry but I don't need a babysitter. You can babysit someone else,” Sheila said, trying to leave the room but the lady grabbed her on her shoulder. Sheil
“I don't feel like going in there. How about we turn back and go home. It would be fun with just the two of us,” Keith said as Camila chuckled, shaking her head.“I don't want to be here either but I don't have a choice,” Camila said.“Oh, we do have a choice. We can just choose to go back home and be together. Just us,” Keith said, holding her hands.“Just as that is tempting but we need to be here. Who knows what we can find. We need to do this for ourselves and what are we going to tell Mrs Genevieve if we chicken out? You know she told us to keep an exclusive gist for her,” Camila said.“Well, I don't see Mrs Genevieve here,” Keith said with a grunt as Camila rolled her eyes.“You're such a big baby,” she said as Keith narrowed his eyes on her.“Am I now?” He asked as she nodded, entering inside with Keith following after her. “This is so annoying,” he muttered.“Invitation card, please?” The security guard at the door asked as Keith showed the card to him. The security guard open
“Keith Thompson!” The man called as Keith turned to look at the man, while waiting for the waiter to arrange his drinks for him.“Do I know you because I don't think we've met before,” Keith said as the man smiled.“You don't know me but I do know me. I'm Duncan Lancaster and I've heard so many things about you. I must say, it's incredible,” Duncan said as Keith smiled.“I don't know if I should be pleased with what I'm hearing but I'm not interested,” Keith said.“What if I can help you? I know what you seek and I'm a very good friend to keep around,” Duncan said as Keith chuckled.“You'll only be wasting your time. Like I said before, I'm not interested,” Keith said, taking his drinks and leaving. Duncan smiled, ordering a drink for himself. Sheila was talking with some other women who openly showed that they wished they were in her shoes and that they were dating Abraham. She couldn't believe how shameless these women were.“You seem to be having fun,” Sheila turned to see Maria.“
