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
“As we move forward, I encourage everyone to stay involved in the process. Your feedback will be invaluable, and I look forward to sharing updates as we progress.” He said, taking a moment to breathe, preparing for the closing. “Once again, thank you to the local government, our partners, and all of you for your support. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the park once it opens! Have a great day, everyone!” He said with a smile as he waves to the audience as they applaud, then steps back from the podium. The host takes the microphone again to formally close the event.“Thank you, Mr. Corner and thank you all for attending today’s conference. We appreciate your presence and look forward to seeing the exciting developments of the new public park in the near future. Have a wonderful day!” He said as the sound of applause filled the room as attendees began to gather their things, and the cameras flash one last time.Camila checked her watch to see that it was already late.“I rea
“What are the timelines for the bidding process?” A lady asked.“Well, we will start accepting bids immediately after this meeting. The bidding will remain open for seven days, closing next week Friday by 4pm. Once the bidding closes, we will notify the winning bidders within 24 hours,” Chris answered. “I hope you all are okay with this? If you have any disagreement, feel free to speak up,” he said as no one said anything.“Any other questions?” He asked as a woman raised her hand.“Are we going to be allowed to check out the properties?” She asked as Chris turned to Keith who nodded his head. Chris turned to the investors, with a smile on his face.“Yes. You're free to check out the properties you're purchasing and if we're done with the questions, can we start bidding?” He asked as the bidding session startedSheila entered the club, looking around. She walked over to the bar as the bartender came over.“What would you like to drink, beautiful?” He asked as Sheila gave him a short s
