“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
Keith came back home to his girlfriend wearing an apron and cleaning the kitchen. She was holding a small towel.“You're back my love?” She asked as Keith sighed. “What's wrong? Did anything happen?’ she asked worried about Keith.“Everything went well till Chris ruined it,” Keith said as Camila chuckled.“What did he do?” Camila asked, smiling.“How about I fire him. He really doesn't know when to stop talking,” Keith said.“Will you tell me what he did?” Camila asked.“Did you watch the news?” Keith asked.“Abraham's interview?” Camila asked as Keith shook his head. “What about it?” She asked.“We were watching it and he called that bastard the people's man and that no one can ever be like that and when I chastised him, he said he was speaking facts. Can you imagine that?” Keith asked as Camila laughed.“You should know how he is. Don't let it bother you,” Camila said as Keith sighed then nodded.“Did you just finish cooking?” He asked as Camila nodded. “What did you make?” Keith as
“Look at you being antsy about my phone. Do you have a problem? Were you the one who bought it for me? With the way you're behaving right now, I would start being suspicious of you,” Sheila said, looking away as Abraham glared at her.“Would you answer the damn question?” He asked as she grunt, then looked at the phone “Well, it's cheap, I know that already. There's no need to start rubbing it on my face,” Sheila said, getting on his nerves.“That's not the question I asked you,” Abraham said as she groaned.“Must you know everything?” She asked but when she saw the glare on his face, she sighed. “Well, a bitch smashed my phone on the floor. She thinks she has won but don't worry, I'll get back at her. I was just in one of my weak moments and she just managed to get away with it temporarily but she should just wait for me, I'll get back at her,” Sheila explained as Abraham just looked at her.“And how did you get this phone? I can't remember you leaving this house. I would have known
Keith was working on some papers when Chris entered inside.“Good morning sir. How was your night?” He asked as Keith looked at him with a glare.“How do you think my night would be?” Keith asked him back as he chuckled nervously.“I didn't know you keep things in mind,” Chris muttered, scratching the back of his head.“Did you say something?” Keith asked with a glare.“No sir. I didn't say anything,” Chris said, smiling sheepishly as Keith went back to his work.“What do you want?” Keith asked.“The bidding process is still ongoing. I must say, the competition is really a progress,” Chris said, showing Keith the sheets.“That's great. You'll be in charge of the project,” Keith ordered as Chris looked at him like he didn't hear what he just said. “Is there a problem?” He asked as Chris shook his head.“I didn't really get you but since I'm the only one in this room with you, could you please repeat what you just said sir?” Chris asked politely as Keith sighed, going back to paper sign
“I'm in the mood to prepare something today. Would you want anything?” Mr Hockings asked, hoping to get a response from his wife. “Sheila said she's sent a maid to bring the food items and that they are on their way here,” he said but still no response. He looked at her and saw her sitting down with her hands on her jaw. She was so lost in thought. He wondered what had her so invested in. He called her and she still didn't listen and so, he tapped her. She shook, placing her hand on her chest when she saw that it was him.“Oh God, you scared me. Why did you touch me like that? I would have answered if you had called my name,” she said as he rolled his eyes.“Of course you would have. I've been calling your name but you didn't answer. I was even telling you that Sheila has sent the monthly food items and it's on the way and I'm pretty sure you also didn't hear me when I told you that I was in the mood to prepare something but you've ruined the mood and hence, I won't do it again,” Mr H
“So, what's the gist?” Sheila asked.“I was planning on opening my own bakery and so I was discussing it with your father. I wanted his support so that I can start,” Mrs Hockings informed her mother as Sheila was happy.“I'm really happy for you mother. I totally support you. If you need money to start this great business of yours, I can surely support you,” Sheila said happily as her both parents looked at each other then at her. She didn't miss that. “What's the problem? Did I say anything wrong?” She asked.“Well, you didn't say anything wrong. It's just that the main reason I'm starting this business is because I don't want you giving us anything that has to do with Abraham Corner. We want to be able to earn ours without being insulted by him,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila sighed, looking at her parents.“I guess you're right. So, how are you planning to get the money to start this business of yours?” Sheila asked as Mrs Hockings smiled nervously. Mr Hockings and his daughter looke
“I wasn't trying to annoy you neither was I trying to seem less concerned about the fact that you're pregnant. I was just taking it all in. You just sprang that up on me and I didn't know how to react. Why would you even think that?” Keith asked softly.“Because we lost our first child,” Camila said sniffing. “And Abraham is still out there and I… I don't know what to do. I'm so confused,” Camila said as Keith hugged her. He rubbed her back patting her before putting her at arm's length.“Hey, please look at me,” he said but she wasn't looking. “Look at me Camila,” he said as she raised up her head to look at him. “I'm not bothered about us losing our first child. I'm worried but I won’t allow it to affect this one and you shouldn't either,” Keith said, making sure she was looking at him. “We'll have this baby and we're going to give it all that love it deserves. And don't bother about Abraham. We'll deal with him. You have me, Mrs Genevieve and so many other people who love you and I
