The meeting hall became mute when Anita muttered the last statement. They were all perplexed to hear that from her.Zara felt like collapsing. She opened her mouth but was unable to say anything. All she was hoping for was a miracle from heaven when it seemed not going to be coming anytime soon.Out of embarrassment, she ran out of the meeting room.The security guard at the entrance wanted to run after her but Anita stopped him."You don't need to worry about yourself. She is coming back, else, she should be ready to meet me in the court" She uttered.Other models from Robert's company had no problem with the new development. They have heard about Anita's unique personality and they hope it is going to favor them more than when they were with the Roberts.After the meeting ended, some models from the Robert company started gossiping about Zara."Why would she run out like that? She should be happy that ma'am Anita welcomed us with wide arms and also allowed us to continue our contrac
Ava left the place annoyingly. She went back to her house, murmuring some curses as she entered her house.She went straight to her daughter's room to tell her all that she had heard from Anita.She opened the door, meeting Zara sleeping and holding her pillow tight. It was obvious that she cried to sleep."My baby. My poor baby" Ava looked at her pitifully and sat beside her.Zara felt her presence and jerked off from her sleep. She opened her eyes blurry and saw her mother's eyes have red in color. She was sad and it was written all over her face."Mom, are you okay? Is there any problem?" Zara asked."My baby, how are you going to cope? I just came back from Anita's house, to tell her about your contract but what I heard was worse than what we are currently facing" Ava cleaned the tears that were coming from her face already.The sleep vanished from Zara's face when she heard about the 'worse' statement that her mother just uttered. She stood up immediately and looked confused."Wh
On reaching work the following day, She started the food advert that she had initially booked for and the company stated that they wanted her to be the model.The shoot took roughly two hours before she went back to her office, along with Stella."Is Zara here?" She asked."Nope, I heard she hasn't come today" Stella arrived.Anita left out a devilish laugh."Now, she will tag me with being wicked when she is the one, trying to be lazy here. For goodness sake, this is some minutes to eleven. It's okay, tell her to see me when she arrives" She ordered."Sure, I'll do that," Stella answered."Oh, how was the lunch date with Jamal yesterday? I need to hear the complete gist about what happened there" She shunned her bossy position and began conversing with her like friends."It was lunch, not a lunch date and for your information, nothing happened yesterday" Stella replied, smiling."Oh no! I don't wanna believe that! Your cheeks are turning red!" Anita yelled and they both burst into
Zara decided to find an additional source of income but unfortunately, she had no money that she might use to take care of herself till she found another job.While still thinking, her mother opened the door and entered her room."Zara, my daughter. You look troubled, is it something you can share with your mom?" Ava asked."I don't know if I can trust you with this but I have a backup plan for my living" she replied."Really? That's good news. I've been worried about how we are going to cope and survive" Ava was glad."Mom, it isn't a good idea but I think that's the only choice left for me. I'm thinking of getting a part-time job that can be used to support my career. I know that bitch named Anita would probably kick against it and she might see it as a way of ruining the company's image but I don't care, I need fi to survive! My babe also needs to survive" she lamented."Forget about Anita and let's talk about you. What kind of job are you talking about? The last time I checked, th
In the evening of the same day, Ola and Monica were still contemplating whether to take the job or not. They didn't want to settle for the less and on a serving thought, there was no person to hire them with their poor grade and result.They were still discussing the job when Zara stepped down from the staircase. She dressed well, used befitting makeup and carried an expensive bag.Obviously, she was happy and surprisingly, she walked to them and faced Ola."It's been long you have taken your car our of this compound, hope there is no problem?" She asked."My car? Nothing is wrong with it. I just left it there because of my inability to fill the gas" Ola answered while Zara smirked."What about ordering pizza for you since you complained about hunger a few hours ago? And in return, I'll take your car out" she offered Ola a yummy deal. I called it yummy because Ola was already famished and had been waiting for a miracle to happen since they were too broke to afford a meal."Sure, that'
Ola was speechless but Anita smirked. She had heard about how they all made her mother do menial jobs before she could be fed when she was pregnant. Her father told her everything and it was a great opportunity to take revenge on them.Ola thought for a while. It seemed she was left with no other option than to accept the offer."I'll do it" she mumbled and Anita smiled."That's good. I knew you had more sense than your sister" she added and took her to the kitchen.The kitchen was neat but there were dishes to be cleaned."Make sure you clean those dishes with your hands. I don't want you to use the dishwasher and when you are done, arrange the kitchen and clean the floor" she instructed and was about to leave when she recalled something."I'm leaving. Don't you dare steal anything in my kitchen, there is a hidden camera that will expose you, which I'll be watching from the sitting room" she warned then left, without giving her the chance to reply.Ola broke down in tears immediately
Zara spotted coming out of the jeweler's shop, where she had gone to a few of her jewelry sets.She wasn't happy, nor was she sad.The jewelries were brought below her assumed prices but at least, she was glad to have some cash with her, which she would be able to sponsor for her living for two weeks.On getting out of the shop, she was about driving off when she saw an advert, seeking for a bartender in a casino."Wow! This is a great opportunity" she exclaimed before driving there.She met the place, fully guarded with securities. "It must have been a good place for the securities to be tight to this extent" she thought as she walked towards one of the guards."I saw the advert and would like to apply. Can you let me in?" She requested.The securities started at each other before they allowed her inside. She was thoroughly scanned before she was allowed in.She was taken into an office inside the casino, where the person that was managing the casino was seated.Zara greeted, then s
"Albert!" She called in amazement.She quickly left the bar to look for the man that looked like Albert but to her surprise, she lost him.She was still looking for him when he recalled that customers would have been looking for her at the casino bar.She was heartbroken."Could she be hallucinating? She still went to the embassy the previous month and was told he was in south africa. Could the person only resemble him? Or her eyes have started developing issues due to too much crying?" She thought as she went back to her duty Post.The rest of the night became rough as she kept making mistakes due to Albert looking like a man that she saw. She knew Albert was still in her life. She still misses him and she would be glad if Albert showed up again.★★★★The following morning. Ola woke up immediately and her alarm rang. She was feeling dizzy. She wished she could sleep more but when she recalled having to go to work, she sluggishly stood up and went to the bathroom.After she left to wo
