Nathan was still not happy about Alistair's decision to invite Wilde to his inaugural dinner party. He was seated in the living room in deep thought when Layla came out of the kitchen with Burundi.

Burundi was the first to notice the look on his face, he used his arm to hit her softly, "He seems bothered, what do you think is probably eating him up?"

Layla who had her gaze on her phone, raised her head and gazed at him, she was shocked to find him in such a mood. She remembered how cheerful he was when they came out of the car, did anything wrong happen or what?

"Give me a few minutes, I am going to ask him about it," she whispered and walked towards him.

Burundi nodded his head and walked to the dining where he sat down and turned towards the sitting room, gazing at them. She sat down beside him and he didn't move, which means he was lost in thought.

"What's going on?" She placed her hands on Nathan's shoulder and he jolted immediately, breathing hard, looking at her shocked. "Layla.

    Mr. Charlie Bane stormed out of the car angrily, he had never experienced such disgrace in his life. He was still in shock, he had everything planned, not until Nathan and the lawyer showed up, and soiled what he had been working on for almost two to three decades."Welcome boss," his cleaner greeted him, he halted and turned immediately towards her looking angry, poor woman, she would be the one he was going to pour all his wrath on, "Why are you greeting me, do I pay you to greet me or clean the house?""I am sorry sir," she said, bowing her head."You are sorry, wait a minute, who told you to speak when I am not done speaking?

"Did you guys plan this?" Mr. Wilde asked, as his gaze moved from his wife to his daughter, and his daughter to his wife."Mum, why did you decide to wear this, out of all days?" Elara asked, getting pissed."Same question on my mind, why did you decide to wear the same outfit as me? Elara why?" She raised her voice at her daughter."Ladies, I think you guys need to calm the fuck down, it's just clothes, or is there something I don't know about the dress.

    Alistair, Nathan, Layla, and Burundi all got into the car, Reagan was seated at the front, "Should I go or is there anyone we are waiting for?" Reagan asked with a cold voice."You can go, Reagan, Layla's mother doesn't plan on attending which is sad, but you are free to leave," Nathan, who was seated in the front seat, beside Reagan replied."Yeah, let's go," Alistair replied and Reagan drove off, "Don't you guys think, not having any security personnel in this car is something we should be worried about?" Layla muttered, breaking the silence."There's no need, we have escorts right in front of us and also behind us, you don't have to be scared. Anyone who plans on hurting us or causing problems would first have to go through the security personnel," Nathan replied."I see, well that's nice," she turned towards Alistair, "That reminds me, do you have your speech ready, or are you going to speak from your head?"Alistair coincidentally had the same thought on his mind, he swiped his h

    The lady led them to a new table and they all sat down, "Why do they have to be this disorganized?" Reagan asked."Chill guys, maybe there was a mix up somewhere, and they didn't detect it quick enough," Layla replied, as she reached for the bottled water to drink.Nathan looked over to Alistair who had been quiet, "You are not saying anything, what's going on?""What's going on? Nothing is going on, I am fine, I am just a bit nervous," Alistair replied as he took a deep breath."Are you sure?"

    "Damn, she looks so pretty in that dress," Reagan muttered as the staff led them to a table designated specially for them. Mr. Starling's voice blasted out from the speakers, "Please let's welcome the Wilde, Mr and Mrs. Wild, with their daughter Elara."No one clapped, instead they all booed Wilde, they didn't care much about the boo's coming from the crowd. They were prepared, they knew it would happen, there's no way you fall from grace to grass in such a way that people won't want to make a joke out of you.Elara gaze moved around, looking for Ethan, but she didn't see him, she brought out her phone and sent a message to him on Whats App. He wasn't online, she had to wait for his reply, and that would only happen when he comes online.Mrs. Wilde touched her daughter Elara's hand, the boo's were still emanating from the crowd, "Don't you think you should join him on their table?"Elara was shocked, "Mum, join them?"

She already had the tea made, all she had to do was to pour in the liquid that would spike the drink. She got a mug, poured the drink into it, and poured in the liquid.She did the sign of the cross and walked out of her office heading back to Mr. Alistair's office.

    (Few Hours Later)"You look really tense, and should I say unhappy, what's going on?" Elara asked as she reached for Mr. Alistair's hands.Mr. Alistair smiled, this was one of his tricks to get her into doing whatever he wanted her to do. "Let's just say I am extremely tired, you know what it means to work as the president of Vox's Group right?"She nodded her head, "Yeah I partially have an idea. There are times when I see my Dad in a terrible state just because of work. That's one of the reasons I said to myself I was never going to work.Not like work work, I mean get into the corporate work. I saw the torment it caused to my Dad, that shit pissed me off. That's more reason I decided to follow the career path of my Dad."Mr. Alistair was taking note of the things she said about her Dad. "Do you think your Dad has something special he's hiding?

    Mr. Alistair turned towards him, "What, and what have you found about it?""Well I have found someone who can be of much help to us," he answered as he stepped out of the elevator."Really? How come I didn't know about this, and what if this so-called person is one of Mr. Wild's loyal fans?"They got into his office, and Layla was asleep. "Come on man, don't you trust me anymore? I did my research, and he has definitely nothing to do with Mr. Wilde. Besides, he's an undercover CIA agent. Trust me when I say he can be of much help.""Wait a minute, did you just say ah undercover CIA agent?"Layla woke up due to the pitch of their voice. "Yeah, you heard me correctly. An undercover CIA agent.""If he's an undercover CIA agent, how did you get to him?

"What do you mean, please explain."She cleared her throat and reached for his hands. "I know this sounds funny, but I want to propose something.""What's that?""I need us to act. I mean I want us to act as boyfriend and girlfriend. I am tired of my father nagging about getting married to you.Truth be told, I don't like you one bit. But I am just doing this because of my Dad, nothing more, nothing less.""Really? Do you want the both of us to act as couples? Do you think that's the way out?""Yes, that's the way out.

But if you must know, it's just some random chat with a friend," she replied, her gaze not leaving her phone."A male friend, I suppose right?" She asked as she walked towards the bed."Come on Mum, what's with all this question?""I am glad you asked. Dear Elara, you aren't getting any younger, don't you think it's time for you to settle down? It's high time you need to get married," Mrs. Wilde muttered.Elara burst into laughter, "Mum, is this what you wanted to say?
