Mrs Hockings actually took her husband's word into consideration. She woke up so early in the morning, printing out fliers for her new business. Mr Hockings came downstairs, seeing her so busy counting cupcakes that were on the table.“You really mean this, don't you?” He asked as she nodded.“I need to get this right. I baked some cupcakes which I could use for samples. I just hope it goes well,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila entered, carrying baskets.“Good morning. I bought groceries,” she said, entering the kitchen and placing it on the counter.“You shouldn't have. We are okay,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila rolled her eyes.“Don't worry about it, mother. You have my word that none of these things were bought with Abraham's money. They are my money,” she said, turning to her father. “I'll be taking my leave now, dad,” she said when her mother held her hand.“What is it, Sheila? You’ve been avoiding me and not picking up my calls. Did I do anything wrong?” Mrs Hockings asked as Sheila
Camila was busy laughing while eating. It looks like Keith was telling her something and she was finding it funny.“Cover your mouth and chew properly,” Keith scolded her lightly as she brought out her tongue, showing it to him. “Childish,” he said with a scoff.“You love me like that,” she said boastfully.“Do I? Let me think for a second,” he said, pretending to think while sneaking a glance at Camila who just looked at him with a smile on her face. “Of course, I do and you should be lucky,” he said as she chuckled.“Lucky?” She asked as he nodded. “Dude, you should be the one lucky to have me. I've done a lot for you. I mean your life won't have been this better if I hadn't come into your life,” Camila said as Keith shook his head.“Whatever floats your boat,” he said with a smile as Camila saw someone coming towards them.“Guess who just arrived,” Camila said as Keith felt so less concerned.“Isn't it Sheila?” Keith asked, eating his food. Camila wondered how he knew and so she lo
Sheila was burning in rage. Max could feel it. She hit the seat, cursing profusely.“The nerves of that woman. I really hate her,” she said as she placed her fingers on her teeth, biting from it while being lost in her thoughts. “Turn around,” she ordered as Max did as he was told. When Max went back to the restaurant so that they could pick up Mrs Hockings, Sheila saw her mother following Camila and Keith. She scoffed angrily. “She couldn't even wait for me to come. What a woman,” she muttered to herself. “Drive home. I'm tired already,” she said as Max nodded, driving away.Camila dropped Mrs Hockings at home. Immediately she came down, Camila followed suit while Keith stayed in the car.“Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila shook her head.“You don't need to thank me. We're friends after all,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings smiled, squeezing her hand softly before going in. Camila sighed, joining Keith inside as she looked at him. “Thank you,” she
Keith arrived at the office, meeting Chris on the way to his office.“Mr Vileman took us to court sir,” Chris said as Keith was entering his office.“I saw that. Have you contacted our lawyer?” Keith asked as Chris shook his head.“Did that before you came, sir,” Chris said as Keith nodded. “What are you planning to do, sir?”“Good job. I'll try persuading to settle out of court and if he doesn't agree, I'll make him lose everything including the new business plans we have in control,” Keith said, picking up his phone and leaving the office while being on a call with someone.Sheila came downstairs for breakfast to see Abraham already seated and eating.“Good morning,” she greeted, sitting down to eat.“You looked angry yesterday. Did anything in particular happen?” He asked as Sheila scoffed softly, raising her head to him.“Don't mind me and carry on with your food. I'll get better by the day,” she said, eating her food, not paying attention to Abraham which pissed him a little.“Ar
Keith met Mrs Genevieve and Camila at Mrs Genevieve's house. He was really stressed out as he removed his suit jacket, slumping down on the chair with a sigh.“Stressed?” Mrs Genevieve asked as he nodded.“Here, have something cold. It would help,” she said, handing him a glass as he took it with one gulp.“How did it go?” Camila asked as Keith frowned.“I've never seen anyone as stubborn as that man. He's so stubborn that he isn't seeing the big picture in front of him,” Keith said, demonstrating how frustrated he is.“Did you tell him about the solution you're planning?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith nodded.“And he still didn't agree to drop the case?” Camila asked, quite surprised herself.“That's how surprised I was or should I say shocked.“He's stupid. That's for sure,” Mrs Genevieve said as they heard footsteps. “Urrh! She's here,” Mrs Genevieve said, displeased.“Who's here?” Camila asked as Sheila came into view.“You all better start talking,” she said, folding her hands whi
Keith tried ignoring Camila since they came back from Mrs Genevieve's house.“You've been avoiding me, Keith,” she said, standing at akimbo.“I've not been avoiding you. I'm just too tired to say anything,” Keith said, walking past her.“I know you are angry at me but we need to talk,” Camila said, looking at Keith who chuckled bitterly.“Angry?” He asked as he laughed. “I'm not just angry Camila. I'm pissed,” he said, running his hands through his hair. “We agreed that we weren't going to tell anyone about the baby and you went and spilled it out to Sheila,” he said, disappointed in her which made her angry.“Oh please, do not give me that disappointing look. All this is your fault,” Camila said as Keith looked confused.“My fault?” He asked.“Yes, it's your fault. If you weren't paying so much attention to Sheila, I wouldn't have felt so insecure. You didn't have my back there and you act like you need Sheila to make things go as planned,” Camila said as Keith became speechless.“Yo
“Fancy seeing you here, Miss Hockings,” she turned to see Duncan. She sighed as she groaned inwardly. Duncan chuckled, seeing her facial expression. “What's a beautiful woman like yourself sitting here all alone?” He asked as sighed.“And that's my cue to leave,” she said, standing up while Duncan chuckled. “You annoying piss of shit,” she muttered, glaring at him and leaving."Good morning all, I’m Nicki Samson, reporting live. As you may have heard, I’ll be filling in for my colleague, who is currently recovering from an unfortunate incident. She was allegedly assaulted by an individual described as a 'fiery fan'. A concerning situation that we hope resolves swiftly, as our thoughts are with her during her recovery.“This morning, however, I want to shift focus back to the story that’s stirred much conversation across the city: the ambitious work of billionaire businessman Keith Thompson. Despite recent setbacks, Mr. Thompson continues to inspire countless people with his resilience
“Mr Vileman has taken you to court. The Court's hearing will be held next week,” Chris said as Camila scrowled.“Perfect time to launch the new project so that he would see that he has lost,” Keith said, nodding his head. “Anything else?” Keith asked.“Someone is here to see you,” Chris said as Keith sighed.“Tell him I'm unavailable for the moment and tell this person to come next time,” Keith said as Chris smiled sheepishly.“Well, he said it's urgent so I may have brought him in already,” Chris said as Keith glared at him. “Sorry,” he said, running out as a man came in.“Make it short. I don't have the whole time,” Keith said as the man smiled.“Don't worry about that. I do not plan on staying here any longer,” the man said as Keith and Camila narrowed their eyes at him.“You sure do have a lot of nerves,” Camila said as the man just smiled.“Can you please just state the reason you're here. In case you didn't know, we were on our way out,” Keith said as the man nodded.“I understa
