Sheila's frown deepened as she took in Camila standing by the ladies’ room entrance with a smirk on her lips and a brow raised at her. They both stood radiant in their one way, Sheila stunning in her blood red dress that had no arm which left her cleavage and boobs almost completely uncovered leaving nothing for the imagination, Sheila folded her arms over her chest, causing her breast to push up further. Her makeup was loud and perfectly blended with the color of her dress. Camila stood completely still with an amused look as she took in Sheila's appearance and with one last look, she shut the door and moved for one of the sinks, the one furthest to the one Sheila was standing beside.“I don't have something on my face, do I?” Camila quizzed, the smirk not leaving her face for a moment.Sheila tore her gaze off the woman when she realized she had been staring for too long. Sheila didn't know why but she already hated this other woman at first sight, something about her face made Shei
“What took you so long?” Keith questioned as he watched Camila return to stand at the spit beside him. Camila offered him a smile of innocence, reaching for the glass of wine between Keith's fingers, and immediately drowned the contents. Keith eyed her with keen interest with a brow raised, “Someone's thirsty,” he teased watching her set down the cup.Camila nodded, “The trip to the ladies’ room was quiet_,” she trailed off and tapped her chin as if searching for the right word, “Eventful.”The lightness on Keith's face vanished quickly, replaced with a look of worry, “What happened? Did you run into you know who?”The corners of Camila's lips pulled upwards, “No, I did not run into you know who, Keith. It was eventful because I had a bit of a problem searching for the ladies’ room,” the lie rolled off Camila's tongue easily. Of course, she would not mind telling Keith about the little incident in the bathroom but she would not want him to get more worried than he already was and he
Keith glanced around and very easily spotted Mr. Hockings in the company of his wife at the other side of the hall, with both their attention on him and his date, Mr. Hockings was glaring at him but to Keith's surprise Mr. Hockings was not making any move to approach him and make a scene but he believed it had something to do with the two men dressed in black stationed beside the couple. Camila nudged his arm to get his attention and raised a brow at him in question when his gaze met hers, “Those couple on the other side doesn't seem to like you,” she pointed out.lAs much as Keith tried to force himself to be at ease he could not bring himself to calm the rolls of anxiousness rising from the bottom of his belly. Something wasn't right, beginning with Camila's earlier strange behavior and the fact that Sheila's parents had not attempted to do anything and then the absence of both Sheila and her boyfriend despite being the hosts of the party. Things were too calm and uneventful for Ke
Frank resisted the urge to smile as he watched Sheila approaching, it was time now and although he had high hopes for his girlfriend he couldn't still help but worry about this supposed perfect plan of hers, what if it went wrong? And Thompson was not a fool and maybe the plan would not be able to push through if Keith did not go with Sheila, and although Sheila had reassured him that Keith would not turn her down he was not so sure, Keith was not going to let himself get fooled again so easily, especially with what happened before. He moved his eyes to the lady standing beside Keith, the lady who had supposedly made his girlfriend so angry she wanted her dead. He flashed a smile, “But I'm certain you won't deny me the honor of introducing me to your beautiful date.”Frank watched as the lady scrunched her with no sign of surprise that the conversation was getting shifted to her but her face was immediately relieved into a composed smile, she took a step forward and held out a hand t
Keith raised a brow at Sheila, staring at her incredulously with a mocking smile on his face despite the annoyance on his facial features. He studied Sheila's face for some seconds before he could no longer hold back his urge to laugh and began laughing at Sheila's stunned face.Sheila frowned, “What is so funny, Keith?” She questioned, her nose scrunched up. “You of course,” Keith said between his laughter as he took a step back from Sheila and moved to lean by the study table a few steps away from him. He used the opportunity to take in where he was and scoffed, Sheila did a good job of choosing a place to lay an ambush. This office was the one closest to the crowd outside and so he suspected that anything she had planned had to do with the guests at the party. Now that he knew that, he needed to be extra careful. Sheila forced herself to laugh along, “Oh really, I would like it if you shared the joke, so we could both laugh together.” Keith shrugged innocently, “Why not, I am la
Keith felt a rush of relief pass through him as his eyes landed on Camila's back view, she was leaning against the table twirling a glass of wine but it was obvious from the way her eyes wandered from time to time that she wasn't paying attention but the man before her did not seem to notice as he continued speaking while his eyes ravaged Keith's girlfriend with a smirk, Keith wondered why Frank had a gleam of pride in his eyes, even his Frank's shoulders were postured high and his eyes bright with confidence. Keith frowned, glaring at Frank even though he hadn't noticed him, what in the world was going on in Frank's mind to make him have that look? If Frank was thinking he got Camila swooned under his supposed charm then he was a much bigger fool than Keith thought. Keith dragged his gaze off Frank and back to Camila and to his surprise, she was already staring back at him with a knowing look and a hint of a smile, she rolled her eyes and nudged her head to invite him over. Keith did
“Care to explain why Thompson is leaving with his head up high and not buried down in shame?” Sheila stiffened at the sound of her father's voice as he barged into the room, she couldn't decide if it was the sound of the door slam or the harshness in her father's voice that frightened her, but she quickly concluded it was both of them. “Dad, please lower your voice. The guests are still here. And not to mention my head is aching too,” Sheila grumbled the latter part of the sentence making sure not to meet her father's gaze because she knew he would be glaring at her. Mr. Hockings did not pay any slight attention to his daughter and stepped into the office, slamming the door shut.Frank frowned, surprised to not find Sheila's mum with Mr. Hockings, they are usually always together. “Where is Mrs. Hocking?”Mr. Hockings snorted, “How am I supposed to know but I suppose she is trying to make herself useful, I hope.” Frank slumped on the seat, crossing his arms over his chest. Like fa
Keith let out a dark chuckle as he read through the file his publicity manager had sent him this morning. The Hockings just do not learn.“It isn't funny, Keith, could you please wipe the smirk off your face? It's giving me the creeps,” Camila snapped, mumbling the latter part of the sentence under her breath but Keith did not miss it.Her voice pulled Keith's attention from the article, to stare into the screen of his laptop. He had been on a video call with Camila when his publicity manager, Benson had called to inform him of the incriminating article the Hockings had released online, which was currently trending. And it appears Camila has also come across this piece of information. “Sorry, Cam, I got a bit carried away with what I was reading,” he apologized quickly, trying his hardest to conceal his smirk.Camila narrowed her gaze on him, with her nose flared. “It is scary how laid back you are about this dilemma. In case you aren't reading the same news as I am, I am going to rea
