Hey!" He said dryly. Zoe could sense that all was not okay with the way he had sounded. Baby was always so jovial. What then was going on? She thought again." You okay?" She asked again, trying to sound so nice knowing that she was not an entirely a good cousin to him.." Of course! Do you know who Jack is?" He asked immediately. It's the first day he's arrived home and all he could ask was Jack? She wondered, feeling so irritated as she thought of the guy. She could not deny the fact that she hated the guy's guts and merely hearing that name further irritated her the more. " Yeah! Some sort of a dog that my sister follows around!" She said and scoffed." Is that her boyfriend?" He asked again, really wanting to be sure about it while Zoe sighed over the phone." I really don't understand what exactly is going on between the both of them but what I know is that it seems that they are pretty good friends and Jack just wants to gain from us!" That was a really good plan for someone
" So, Mira, where did you meet this guy?" Daniel asked again as he watched Jack eat his meal in silence. Baby did not bother to have any meal because he really felt so irritated eating beside a commoner. At his father's house, commoners like him were either the security guards or his maids or something even lesser than that. Now, seeing him would not even let him eat because he really felt so irritated. It was the very first time that he would be sitting with a pauper on the same table, under the same tent. That had never happened before! " Where I met my boyfriend is none of your business! Just stay clear off me!" She said again. What? Did she not tell him that he was nothing but a friend to her? What the hell is seriously going on? Baby thought again and looked at her in shock. " Wait? What?" He asked while Jack looked at her. Why did she have to tell lies that they were lovers even when they are not? It would only make things more complicated and they could make things harder fo
She looked at him for a while and scoffed. " Jack, sometimes, you need to know when I am being serious and when I am joking. This deal I am talking about is not just a child's play. This is actually what would change our lives forever because he is a very important man to my father" She said curtly." But I can just help you out to ease the stress. you do not even want to go but it seems that your father would not let you be if you do not go."" So, what do you want to do?" She asked." Like telling someone to go in your stead or I can help you secure the deal, What do you think?" He asked her seriously. He was sure that he would get the deal done without having to worry about it. " It's fine, Jack. I know that you are trying to help me out but all I am telling you is that it's not just what you think it is. These are important people and any little thing could make my father loose his potential clients. But still, thank you. It just can't work. The business world do not work that w
Mira's phone rang as soon as she got into the cab. Looking at the phone, she was surprised to see that her mother had been calling her severally." Hey, mom" " Mira, what the hell did you think that you had done over there?"" I don't understand what you are talking about, mom" she said and rubbed her forehead." Do you know what exactly you have done? You had hit a very powerful man that could have made us so greater than the King's empire" she yelled out angrily." But mom, he was trying to flirt with me and I had no choice than to put him in his place."" What? You should be lucky that the man takes a very good fancy in you! That man's business is one of the largest leading technology company in our city after the King's empire and you have suddely decided to fumble when the man wanted to renew his contract with your father?"" Why didn't father go there himself?" She asked angrily." That's not even the point! We owe that man a lot of money also! And if you had signed that contra
" You don't have to be so bitter about her, okay?" Baby said and sighed having someone's name in his mind but was not sure even if that would work out at least. " Do you think that I am happy knowing about all of these? She is the reason that we are like this and yet, we can't even do anything about it. I do not want to be poor! How can I? My reputation and status would change but she? She does not care! after all, she has a friend like that also!" She said. " I am sure that if we can few friends, they would surely want to help out and who knows they may even be more powerful than the man she has even offended" He said again, totally ignoring Mira who seemed to care less about that. She was not sure if she had friends that was that wealthy. " Fine, let me see if I can just call Anna and my other friends. They are also from the wealthy class and I am sure that they can do something about this situation! My friends family also have people that can help us out and…"" Please do so. I
" What did you just say?" Baby asked, wanting to be sure of what he heard. He had gotten Mira a Louis Vuitton bag? And a scarf? No! he was sure that he had misheard that. How was it even possible? Someone like him could actually get that? Even in India, such bag was very expensive that only the few could afford something like that. How come he had gotten it? Maybe it was just a duplicate because something like that was very popular especially for guys that wanted to belong all in the name of trying to care for their babes. Not until he sees the bag and let one of his wealthy friends know about it before he becomes so sure of what he just heard but until then, he would only assume that it was the fake type that he had gotten for her. " Oh just forget what Chole said. We all know that it was as a result of the bet. Let's just focus on why we are here today!" Anna said and scoffed. And then, just like that, Tessa's hope suddenly crashed. How stupid could she have thought that someone l
As soon as he was sure that she had already left, he brought out his phone and dialled Jonny's number, knowing fully well that he was also a very big boss apart from the fact that he was his manager. " Good afternoon, boss"" Yes, good afternoon! I need you to do something very important for me"" At your service, boss" He said politely while Jack nodded as if he could see him." The Williams family are currently going through bankruptcy and I would like it if Youberry street would like to partner with them and make sure that the revenue generated would be ratio 50-50" He said again while Jonny frowned. Ratio 50-50? Was that not too much? He wanted them to partner with the Williams family and from what he knew, they had offended a big boss and their boss would even give them the same ratio?" Boss, that seems too much"" Alright. Just take care of the condition and make sure that everything falls to place, okay?" He said and hung up. Yes! He was doing all of these for Mira and if no
Guys, please, enough of all of this. We should go ahead and party, what do you think?" She changed the topic and smiled as she tucked her hair behind her ears which made her look more beautiful. " Yes! I think we need that because everywhere had really been tensed and doing this would make everywhere look more radiant!"" What about money?" Zoe was considerate to ask her sister who smiled." You should not bother about all of that okay? Daddy said he has ordered steak for everyone of us and even if it's not enough, I am sure that we would surely sort ourselves out. What do you all think?"" Of course. Who would not even be happy about that?" Chole said while they all rushed out. " We should go in dad's car!" Zoe said. " I can't drive." She said and looked at the car. It was at this point in time that she realized that she really needed to get her driving license if she knew that she wanted to learn how to drive." Don't tell me that you all would be going in this stupid car to Yo
