“Thanks for the update. I'll get back to you shortly,” he said to the lady he was talking to, walking away to join them. “What's going on gentlemen?” Abraham asked, joining the circle as he exchanged glances with Keith.Absolutely nothing, Corner. You've been busy,” a man said as Abraham smiled.“You need to listen to Thompson. He has a business idea and was just sharing it with us. It is superb. I'm planning on investing in this business of his,” another man said as Abraham looked at Keith with a smile. Keith knew that the smile Abraham was putting on was fake. “Is that so? Let's hear about this business idea of yours,” Abraham said as Keith smiled.“It's not that huge. How about we forget about it and talk about something else,” Keith said, looking at Abraham.“Nonsense. Thompson, this is Abraham Corner. He's one of the richest tycoons around. Let him in on your business ideas and who knows, he might be one of your biggest investors,” the third man said as Keith smiled nervously.“
“Look what the cat dragged in here,” Abraham said, walking in before Camila could move. When she heard Abraham's voice, her heart began to thump so hard. She couldn't let him see how nervous she was so she put up a front.“Shocked?” Camila asked, looking straight at him.“Shocked, no but surprised, yes. I could sue you for entering my office without permission in an attempt to steal,” Abraham said as Camila smiled.“Why? Are you scared that I'll find something I'm not allowed to see which would implicate you?” Camila asked, duntily as Abraham scoffed.“That's going to be far from it. I'm just afraid that you might not make it out alive and I'll have extra work to be able to kill Thompson so it doesn't get out because you see I'm in a good mood. If I end up getting angry and doing such things, I'll have to wipe out everyone that's dear to you,” Abraham said as Camila gulped. She was getting really scared but there's no way she was going to show it.“Such aggressiveness. Why don't you l
After the party ended, the maids began to clean the house. Sheila walked past them, heading to Abraham's direction.“What happened?” Why did Thompson and his bitch leave so abruptly?” She asked, folding her arms. Abraham just shrugged, going through his phone.“Did you know about Thompson's new project which he's pursuing?” Abraham asked as Sheila feigned ignorance.“How would I know?” She asked him as Abraham nodded. “Well you don't need to know because it won't last long,” Abraham said, standing up.“What do you mean by it won't last long?” Sheila asked.“Just as you've heard it,” he said as he left. Sheila stood where she was, thinking about what's going through Abraham's mind as she walked straight to her room.Camila texted someone on her phone. When she heard Keith coming in, she turned off her phone, setting it on her bedside table as she went under the duvet.“You okay?” Keith asked her as she nodded.“I just sent a text message to Sheila. Let's just hope she gets it,” Camila
Camila woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.“Babe, turn it off,” Keith said groggily.“Sorry,” Camila said, picking her phone up as she tapped Keith. “You have to go to the office. You don't want to be late,” she said.“Just ten minutes,” he muttered as she smiled, leaving the room. She checked who called her and saw that it was Agnes. She called her back while entering the kitchen. She grabbed a cup, while making coffee for herself. “Hey Agnes. Good morning,” she greeted.“Good morning. I hope I didn't wake you up so early?” Mrs Hockings asked.“Even if you didn't call, my alarm would have done it but you did it earlier, giving me time to clear my head and all that,” Camila said, sipping her coffee.“Are you okay? We heard what happened,” Mrs Hockings said.“We?” Camila asked, unsure if she heard correctly.“Well, my husband and I but he's mostly worried about his daughter although that's not why I called. Are you okay?” She asked again as Camila sighed.“I want to be angry, I
“So, you're telling me that you were caught on camera?” Mrs Genevieve asked, pacing while taking in what Keith and Camila just told her. “Will things ever get better? I'm already getting tired,” she muttered along with a sign.“I must say, you're astounding. I didn't beg you for someone who could snoop around people's things and now you're caught on camera and this camera belongs to none other than Abraham Corner which means you might be convicted and if you're not by this time, then he has a bigger plan for you guys,” Smart said. “Why didn't you guys send Sheila to snoop around. She's quite smart and intelligent for the job,” he added as Camila glared at him.“I find that statement of yours very offensive,” Camila said as Smart shrugged.“I think Smart is right,” Mrs Genevieve said as all three eyes were looking at her but she was looking at Smart, not knowing what was happening. “I mean Sheila is a criminal. So she must already be perfect when committing criminal acts, right?” She a
Keith arrived at the venue where the meeting was to take place. He saw Chris organizing some things.“Is everyone here?” Keith asked as Chris nodded.“Yes sir. They are more than I anticipated,” Chris reported.“The more the investors, the more we get the work done fast,” Keith said, fixing his suit. He wanted everything to go as fast as possible so that Abraham couldn't do any harm. “Okay, why don't you go announce my entry,” Keith said as Chris went back on stage, testing the mic to see if it was okay.“ Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?” He said as the hall became quiet. “Thank you,” he said with a nod. “It is my great pleasure to introduce Keith Thompson, the visionary entrepreneur behind Thompson inc. Please, join me in welcoming him as he shares his innovative ideas and plans for the future. Let's give a warm welcome!” Chris said as Keith stepped forward as they applauded for him. Chris cleared the way for him Keith smiled, taking the mic.“Good morning ev
“So, that would be all for the questions. I hope you all understood everything that was said here because we would be moving to the next step on the agenda,” Keith said as no one said anything. He stepped down as Chris came up. While Chris was addressing the investors, Keith's phone rang. He saw that it was from Camila. He excused himself, leaving the hall to pick her call.“Hi!” Keith said, placing the phone in his ears.“Hey, how is it going? Is everything going smoothly?” Camila asked.“So far it is. They're understanding and it's going well without a hassle. How is your day going? Are you okay?” Keith asked as Camila chuckled. He smiled happy to see she was okay.“Surprisingly, I'm having fun. I'll leave you now. Tell me everything when you come home. Will you be late?” She asked as Keith checked his watch.“I might be. Any problem?” Keith asked.“I wanted to know if I should order or cook something for you but I'll cook but I'm not up to it, I'll order,” Camila said as Keith smil
“We would all like to know how you secured the land for the public park from the government,” she asked as Abraham smiled, looking for the right answer to give as they all looked at him.“Okay, let's see. I would love to say because I'm Abraham Corner and I am capable,” he said as they laughed. “But I think it's because I have a long-standing relationship with various stakeholders in the government and have always been committed to contributing to community development. This opportunity arises as part of a broader initiative to enhance public spaces, and I am honored to have been selected for this project,” he answered as they applauded. Another reporter stood up to ask his question.“What specific features do you plan to include in the park?” He asked.“Our vision for the park includes walking trails, picnic areas, playground, and possibly an amphitheater for community events. We also aim to incorporate sustainable landscaping and educational spaces for workshops about environmental
