The laughter of the foolish men grows even more and more. “Look at this little girl!” “She thinks that a woman would be able to lead a meeting?” “Is this Frederick Cargo's concubine?”“Is he trying to prank us? This is very funny!” Ruby's face turns red and she is about to run out in shame, but Andrew stops her. He didn't say anything because he was giving them enough time to mend their ways, but they are just mocking her even more. “Gentlemen, gentlemen,” Andrew stands up. “I'm sure that all of us are busy people and for that reason, we need to cooperate so that the meeting can be done as soon as possible.” The men look at Andrew, from his head to his toes and they burst out laughing again. “Who are you? The bodyguard to the refreshment lady?!” “No, I'm her husband and she is the refreshment lady, she is the manager of the latest project of this empire.” He says. “It's going to be in all of us’ best interests to behave accordingly, or else it might end up in a bad way.” The
How can she become a tea lady?! She has been one of the best managers and now she is getting demoted to become a tea lady?! She immediately bursts into tears. That means that she is going to be serving people that she even trained. She had maltreated every single one of them and now she is going to become their tea lady?! “Please, no! I won't accept this, I worked hard for this family for so many years! How dare grandfather do this to me?” She screams. “You stole his money, Adriana. I thought you were smart, everyone knows that father would forgive anything, anyone, but never a thief who stole from his pocket.” She knows that he is right, but she tried to be very careful, he wasn't supposed to know. Her secret was safe, until only God knows how that stupid Andrew got hold of the information and he exposed her. How her entire life has been messed up! She worked for years to reach the position of a top manager and now she is being thrown out as trash?! This is a nightmare and she
Even Ruby is shocked to see her. She freezes, but she recovers almost immediately and smiles to brush it off. “Hello, Adriana.” “You are in my office? What are you doing in my damn office?!” Adriana yells. “Oh, Adriana, don't get yourself too worked up over this,” Ruby sighs. “I'm not your replacement, I didn't take your office, I'm just here temporarily. You think that grandfather has taken my family back? No. He just wants me to work here so that I won't steal any money, like you did.” This does very little to convince Adriana that Ruby has not replaced her. Her chest keeps heaving and she wants to grab Ruby by her hair and fight her, jungle style. She would prefer anyone, even the homeless down the street, to take over from her, but not her cousin! Not Ruby! Ruby smiles at her, she pities Adriana and the hurtful way that her grandfather dealt with her. Yes, Adriana tried to set her up, but that doesn't mean that she thinks Adriana deserves such harshness. She takes the cup
The project is going well, so well that Ruby is going to be done with it even before the set deadline. And she has been using the funds very well! But she has something that she needs to take a break from work for, immediately. It's Andrew's 29th birthday and she wants to make it very special for him. Even though she wakes up on the bed, next to him, she prepares Uma for school and leaves before he has the chance to wake up. While she drives Uma to school, she can't hide the good news from her daughter. “Uma, do you know what day it is today?” “No, mummy.” “It's Daddy's birthday!” “Oh wow! Daddy has a birthday too? Is he turning six?” Ruby can't help but laugh. “No, baby. Daddy is turning 29th today. Can you keep a secret? When we come back from school, we are going to throw him a party and celebrate!” “I love parties mummy! I will also make Daddy a card when I get to school.” Ruby smiles, what a thoughtful daughter she has. She drops her off at school and kisses her goodbye.
Everyone has seen just how troublesome Layla is, so they quickly start to move out of the place, even though they haven't purchased everything that they have bought. Doreen quickly pays for everything and tries to pull Ruby towards the exit, but she is not willing to leave. “Why should we go? I haven't finished my shopping.” Ruby refuses. Her mother's eyes grow with fear. “Ruby, let it be. Sorry about it, Miss Layla. You can have the tomatoes, my daughter and I will stick to the regular ones.” The manager tries to take the tomatoes from her, but she is not willing to give it to him at all. She is very determined to take the tomatoes with her. She is very determined to teach Layla a very huge lesson. Layla scoffs when she sees that Ruby is trying to be stubborn. “You think you are crazy? I will show you that you don't go around disrespecting people like me.” Layla snatches her cellphone from her assistant and immediately puts the call through to Miss Helen McQueen. Helen McQuee
Everyone is shocked that the rich fashion mogul is bowing down to someone as common as Andrew. She is so humble in front of Andrew, she is bowing so deeply even though she has aged so much and the act would probably put some strain on her back. Her bodyguards stand around, keeping their hands behind them as if they are soldiers. Doreen and Ruby are shocked, why is this woman bowing to Andrew? Has she mistaken him for someone else? Layla throws her head back because she is very sure that what's happening is nothing more than drama. “Oh, this is funny. Can someone get Auntie Helen her glasses? Aunty, are you really bowing to this man? This filthy man?” But Ms McQueen keeps bowing to Andrew. This silly Layla doesn't know this, but Helen McQueen has known Andrew for a while now. Years ago, she was flown hurriedly out of the country within ten minutes of her being informed. She was to hurriedly dress a top military officer for a military dinner that was happening in a country in Asia
Adriana makes Jasper drive her to the airport very early in the morning. He still looks sleepy as he drives her to the airport. She is going to take a commercial flight because she has lost her privilege to use the family's private jet. She kisses Jasper goodbye as she makes to get out of the car, but he stops her. “Have you forgotten that you are supposed to have dinner with my mother today? The discussion about the wedding has to start. She is very excited…” “Jasper, if I don't have a job, there might not be a wedding! Tell your mother that I went out of the country for work. I will be back soon and I will meet with her,” Adriana walks out of the car. “Wait!” Jasper goes after her. He holds her around her waist and looks into her eyes. “Promise me one thing. Promise me that you will not sleep with another man.” Adriana is disgusted by why he has said she pulls her hand away from him. “Why would you say such a thing, Jasper? I am not a whore, I just want my grandfather to giv
Mister Edwin moves away from her very quickly, but the deed has been done. It didn't dawn on him that it had been a trap the entire time, not until it's very late. “You bitch! You set me up!” “What?” Adriana scoffs as she folds her hand. “Did I tell you to me and try to rape me?” “You are crazy! I didn't do any of that to you!” “It's all there on camera, Edwin. Let's see how well you will be able to deny it.” He has been caught red-handed, there is nothing that he can do to save himself. Mister Edwin feels his heart racing and he is immediately covered with sweat. He takes out his handkerchief and wipes his face. The handkerchief now looks like it was dipped into a bucket of water. That's how much he is sweating. “Did someone jealous of me, my career, set you up to do this?!” He asks. “How much did they pay you to ruin the career of a good man?!” “Oh, don't be silly, Mister Edwin, you did this to yourself.” Adriana snarls. “Stop trying to deny it or blame it on someone else.
