Kimberly felt insulted by her sister's utterance and glared at her.

“What's that supposed to mean? Are you calling me a jobless person."

"No, it's just a joke. Can't I joke with my only sister?” Miranda laughed and reached out to pat Kimberly who was still glaring at her.

"Well, that doesn't sound like a joke. It sounded like an insult.” Kimberly snapped and Miranda decided to soothe her anger.

"I'm sorry. Don't get so angry, it was just a harmless joke. I'll be right back.”

Before Kimberly could say anything else, Miranda had hurried back to work.

“I don't blame you." Kimberly muttered to herself. “It's because I brought myself to this place you call an eatery. If you weren't my sister, I'd not care about you nor who you got married to.”

No matter what a horrible person Kimberly was, she still loved her sister dearly and wanted the best for her.

More than anyone, Kimberly wanted her sister to get rid of Liam and give a chance to Tyler. Unfortunately, Miranda was too stubborn and de

    With a smile on his face, Mark pulled her out and replied in a serious face. “Of course, I'm going to do just what you want because you're so precious to me."Mark helped her sit down and sat back on the table.“Now tell me what troubles you? Why are you not at work today?"Jane tilted her head and replied. “I've been sacked."***Meanwhile, Miranda decided to call her friends after her sister left the eatery.

    As soon as Tyler left, Miranda continued with what she was about to do.She wanted to call Hailey and Jane but had to wait and attend to Tyler. As soon as she dialed Hailey's number, she picked up immediately.“Hi, Hailey."“Hi." Hailey's voice was sad. After the deal with Aura cosmetics was canceled, Hailey had been struggling to get good deals. Unfortunately, all she could get was minor ones.She believed that she had passed the level of such a petty deal. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to take the one she got. If not, she might go completely broke.She could not afford to claim to be a model and to be broke at the same time. It was going to be so bad. “Why did you call?" Hailey asked but got no response for her question. Instead, Miranda became worried for her.“Are you ok? You don't sound like someone who's fine. Tell me, are you sick? If you are then you should see a doctor." "I'm fine.” Hailey almost yelled at her. She was sounding too inquisitive and asked too many que

You've been in here many times and…”"I said, get lost from here, don't come back. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again.”“But…” Jane wanted to go closer to him.“Are you dumb?

Mark yelled, causing her to pause in her steps.Without another word, Jane turned around and started towards the door in a dejected state.She could not explain what had just happened.Mark had promised to always have her back. Why was he acting up.As soon as Jane got out of the office, Mark called security and asked them not to let Jane into his company again. The Liam guy she mentioned must be a very powerful man.

    While Liam was lost in his thoughts, Miranda came forward with his food and placed the tray before him.He was jolted out of his thoughts and lifted his head to glance at her with a smile on his face.Miranda had no idea what he was planning for her. “Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like you're seeing me for the first time.” Miranda joked and they all laughed about it.“Well, your husband here has been saying a lot about you.” Kent said amidst mouthful of food "Since you're also very good at interior designing, I'd suggest that you start up your own firm. I can assure you that you'll grow in time and I also promise to always refer people to your firm.”Miranda stood speechless at a spot as she gaped at the men."I um… I can't do that right now." Miranda stammered."Come and sit down, honey.” Liam pointed to the chair closer to him.Once Miranda was settled down on the seat, she continued with what she was saying.“You see, Kent.

    "Why?” Hailey was shocked to hear such a response from Jane."Did Mira offend you so much that you no longer want any close association with her?”“Just give back my drink. I don't want to talk about Mira or anyone who's affiliated to her.”Jane reached out to collect her drink but Hailey refused to give her back.“No, I'm not giving you this drink." Since Jane was not in the mood to tell her anything, Hailey decided to take her home.She quickly paid the bills and dragged Jane out of the place. “Come on, let's get you home. Maybe you'd be better after you take some rest or even a nap." “I don't want to go home. I want to drink some more." Jane insisted but her friend was not listening to her.“I'm taking you home and there's nothing you can do about that." Hailey dragged her friend out of the place and drove her home.Later that evening at the Westons' family villa. The stage had been set and most of the invited guests were all seated.

Once Piper saw him, she called to his attention and Sean went to meet them at the stage.Meanwhile, Liam alighted from a cab and made his way into the villa in his usual simple dressing. However, the security men stopped him.“I'm sorry Sir, Lady Mary has asked us not to let you in." One of the guards said to him.Liam let out a dry chuckle. Indeed, he had been told not to show up at the villa. However, he didn't expect such prevention measures to be taken because of him.Everyone else was allowed and not him.“Lady Mary asked you to keep me away from the villa." Liam repeated the words and the men nodded.“That's right." “But this is the family home of my wife. Why am I not allowed to go in? M

    After Sean said all he had to say, he dropped the microphone and began to walk away from the villa. However, Piper ran after him.“Mr. Sean. What happened? I can't comprehend anything that you just said." Everyone else who had just listened to Sean turned to his direction as Piper approached him."I don't understand, Sir. Why did you say all that?” Piper asked, confusion evident on her face.Allison and her parents soon approached them at the place. They were perplexed and wondered what Sean meant by what he just announced before everyone.Top Notch interiors were not honest so LR will no longer do business with them. What does that even mean?I'm what ways have they been dishonest?Piper turned her face and glanced at her family before asking Sean.“And how do you mean that Mr. Sawyer was not allowed into this place? How's that even possible?" Sean let out a dry chuckle before replying to the confused people."We gave that contract to Top Notch interiors because we believed that Mi

What do they intend to achieve?"But it's not my birthday. What's all these for?”Miranda turned to glare at Kimberly who was said to have left a scary note and ran away.

This is to celebrate your success and also because you bought a new house.”"I don't understand, I haven't even finished paying for the house. Why are you…”"Stop asking too many questions and have a drink with us. You can go back to work after this.”"I called you from work because we

Well, that was only in her thoughts.She wouldn't say that out loud unless she wants to be enemies with her mother.Patricia and her husband were now very proud of Miranda's accomplishments.Initially, they were against what she did because of the pressure from Lady Mary and the rest of the family members.

    “Hmph. You've got to be kidding me." Miranda let out a dry chuckle.She gave Piper a thorough scrutiny before commenting.“So you know now that I'm your sister. You want to be close to me now, huh?."

I want you to come over and kick her out immediately.”"And who even asked you to let her in here in the first place? Well, it seems like you guys don't love your Jobs anymore" As soon as Miranda ended the call, she turned to Liam and said to him,"Don't worry about her, honey.

Your friend, Kent, came with someone and we discussed business and quickly sealed the deal.”"Everything happened so fast and I could not even believe it. Look Liam, you should call your friend and thank him. He's been most helpful to our business.”"And to think that he doesn't ask for anything in return, not even a cut for the deals he's brought for us.”"Well, Kent has always been like that.” Liam smiled and nodded at his wife."I'll call him and treat him to a meal.”"Yeah, you should.”Liam suddenly thought of the earlier incident at the cafeteria.
