Lisa sat on the couch while staring into blank space as heard could not stop rolling down her cheek, Harry had locked the door against her and no matter how much she pleaded, he wasn't going to give her a listening ear. Mrs. Joyce had tried everything in her power to console her, but Lisa was too broken to even listen to him. But when she was almost dozing off, the doorbell rang and Mrs. Joyce rushed over to go check up on it. “Welcome Mr Williams, it is so nice to have you here”“Thank you, Mrs. Joyce, how is Lisa has she eaten anything?””Not at all, I have tried every tactic that I could, but she would not even listen to me” Mrs Joyce explained as her eyes trailed down to the young man who was standing next to Williams. “And who is this?”“He is a lab technician and just needs to run some tests on Lisa”“Test, why would you need to run some test?” She asked but Williams did not have the patience to answer her question, it took him quite an effort to get Olivia to his house and now
They all stood there and watched the lab attendant draw out some samples of her blood, once he was through, he turned to Harry. “I have all that I need Sir, and the result should be ready by tomorrow”“Alright, do not leave any stone unturned, be as certain as possible about the accuracy of the result”“Yes Sir” He nodded and scurried out of the house. “I will see him off and be back” Williams expressed as he followed behind and it was just left with Harry and Lisa in the living room. The air around the both of them seemed tense, Harry had not been comfortable with the awkwardness, so he stood up and was ready to leave until she spoke. “Is this what we have suddenly become, that the both of us can't be in the same room without you feeling comfortable?”“This is my house, nobody can make me feel that way, I just can't stand seeing you, it sends the picture of your nude being online to my face”“It has been deleted, Mr. Alfred pulled some syringes to get it all taken down”“But that d
Mr. Alfred knew she had a point there, the phone was silent for a while before he spoke again“I understand you Lisa, and I think that you have a point, but how about I come to your place in disguise because I think that we should discuss about the issue at hand”.“I still do not think that is a good idea, perhaps you can come over to my office today and let me hear what is so important that you can't wait” She concluded and ended the call. Lisa placed the baby in his crib and drove off, Emily felt so relieved seeing her daughter back home but Lisa was more furious to see that Sophia was also there. “Finally! You decided to come back home, I was so scared thinking that you would run away ”“What is she doing here?” Lisa's face widened in a frown, there were dark circles around her eyes and her face looked pale and worn out. “Who? Oh you mean your Aunt, I was so worried yesterday so I called her over, we searched for you in all the places that we could and even had to call your friend
Harry woke up that morning feeling sore as he stretched himself to all angles of his bed. He slid away from the bed and strode over to the living room where Lisa had spent the night, but she was no longer there neither were her bags except for Mrs. Joyce who was cleaning the couches, and no doubt she knew that she had left. “Good morning Sir, do you need anything?”“What about my wife?”“She left early this baby with Baby Jay!”“Okay” He sighed as a flush of disappointment filled his face before falling back on the large armchair in the living room, he also looked pale with dark circles around his eyelid, no doubt he had a hard time shutting his eyes last night. “You look so stressed Sir, How about I make you something to help calm your nerves”“Thanks, but I will be fine” He replied but it came out as a whisper, just then the doorbell rang and Mrs. Joyce went over to open the door. “Good day, Mr Williams” She greeted before stepping away from the door. “Good morning Sir! ” Williams
Once Lisa had arrived at work that day, she buried herself in work going through every ongoing project that had been waiting for her, and realizing how bad her stock had dropped shattered her heart into pieces, most clients had withdrawn their orders, and the orders that have been delivered we're not satisfied with it asking for a refund when knowing that it was the exact thing they asked for that was given. “Come in! ” Lisa finally ushered whoever it was in after thinking for a while about the predicament of her company, it was going down the drain and this time, there was no one to help her. “Ms. Lisa, all the employees are ready and waiting for you at the conference hall”“Alright, I will be there soon” Lisa replied and expected her to leave, but Lexy stood there with a suspicious gaze. “Anything else?”“No ma, except you have a visitor and people are talking so much about it”“A visitor, who is that?” she narrowed her gaze at her secretary who stood before her. “The president
The entire hall became calm at her presence as they all had their eyes impaling at her, but she let her lips curl into an assuring smile. “Good day every one of you, I received all the gifts you all sent to me after my delivery and I must say that I am truly grateful”She started calmly hoping to ease the tension around their faces. “You all have been amazing here at Timeless, working with me through thick and thin, and to say that we have experienced so many obstacles would be an understatement”“But I also want to encourage you all to be strong during this time, rumors were set to frame me up because other methods have been used to try and bring me down and since it did not work, they were hoping to use this tactic. I will be doing a press release to clear out the air and once again, thank you all for your support and hard work in working towards making Timeless Fashion a great company”She concluded and there was a loud applause from the crowd and while some had a smile on their fa
Seeing that she had calmed down a bit, he pulled away from her, but his gaze was still tender on her. “You have lost a lot of weight, have you been eating your meals properly?”“Why are you here creeping up on me at this hour of the night?”“Because this is the only time that I can see you when everyone is gone, we got the test results back, and just as I suspected, there were traces of drug in you”“Was it methamphetamine?”“Yes, how did you know?”“Because Mr. Alfredhad the same drug in his system and he is trying to find the waiter that had served the drink at the party through the CCTV, but I don't think that would be possible if this was a deliberate act by some people who were hoping to scheme against me, then I believe that they would have erased their tracks by now”“They can hide, but can't run, was Williams able to retrieve the footage?”“Yes, and I have it here with me” He handed the drive to her, his face covered in guilt. “I am sorry Lisa for not believing in you, the tru
A wide smile filled Sophia's face with just the thought of what Lisa might be going through now and all the crises she would have to face even now that her name had been cleared. But just then, a voice spoke from the balcony. “So it was the both of you that were behind all this! ” Olivia exclaimed as she strode through the stairs. “Olivia dear, you scared me and for a moment there, I thought that it was your Grandmother”“Don't you both get tired of this fight with Lisa that you never win? ”“What are you saying Olivia, are you suggesting that we let her go after all this pain that she has caused us? ”“Pain? You can't even begin to compare the immeasurable pain that we have put her through sometimes I can't help but admire her so much, she is so strong and has strived through every pain we put through her way, and yet you talk of what she did to us, she has done absolutely nothing to us”“What has come over you, a few days ago you were so angry at her and vowed to take revenge on he
