Chapter 187He thought she was worried about the humiliation she would face that day. He saw her walking to the kite and followed her. He went "Kayle,""I don't have provisions; please go to a nearby store and get me some.""Okay, ma, but I am cooking."Who owns the food? "You, ma, master, said I should prepare it for you.""Don't worry, I will continue it. Tell the driver to take you to the nearest store.""Okay ma,""Kayle met Lucas and told him that Sheila sent her errand."Lucas eyes widened as he saw Sheila card with Kayle and asked,Hope you are not going to the market.""I am going to the mall to get provisions, sir.""Shit, there is no money in that card."Let me inform her.""No, do not. Go and get your card, and I will transfer money to you right away. Are you using the same bank details I have?""Yes, sir,""Okay, go,"Transfer $5,000 to Sheila and tell her from the CEO to prepare for the coming Premiere. Do it exactly after 2 hours. "Okay sir,"Lucas went to the kitchen
Chapter 189.Sheila felt bad after receiving the news that she had no money in her bank account and that Lucas had not yet gotten new clothes for the celebration tomorrow. She didn't want to feel bad because it would hurt Lucas; instead, she continued her play and fell on the bed. The play was too much for Lucas; he had a lot to do in preparation for tomorrow's premiere. He was waiting for Sheila to announce that she had gotten the money, but she didn't say anything. "Did she keep the news of getting 5 million dollars from him, or had Steve not sent it?" he mumbled under a breathHe wanted to take his phone and ask, but Sheila didn't let him be; she kept laughing and giggling. He didn't want to stop her either because she had been moody for a while on the CEO's wife's matterHer phone beeped but still played. "Stop it!" Lucas exclaimed in a playful tone. “You have a message on your phone.”“I'm not interested in the message; let me off it.” She stood up and took her phone. She op
Chapter 190The manager who had moved to the reception to arrange chairs for them to sit on before she arrived saw her going back and asking, "I called you for a customer, and you spun, what has come over you?”The lady sneered, “Look at the people you called me for. Do they look like someone who can afford a scarf here? They might probably miss their way,” Pointing out as if she was giving them direction, “Please go to either Harrisos Coutour Extensions, not Executive here, you will be able to pick one or two things there, an ordinary scarf here costs a fortune.”The manager walked to the fashion expert and slapped her. The sound of the slap echoed in the store, the store representative kept her head down. She swirled and tears began to fall from her eyes uncontrollably. She was shocked that the manager could slap her for the low-life customers. She reluctantly took them to the showroom with her hand covering her face where she was slapped. The manager knew she would take reveng
“Not burning,”“You want to tell me the smoke coming out is heat?” she asked jokingly. “Yeah, it is; I'm a better cook,” he smirked.Yeah, you are.”“Why did you admit so fast?”“No, energy to drag,”“Oh, I see,”Thank you for everything; you paid for the clothes.”Yeah, with the money you gave me.”The money she gave him was one million, and the clothes and jewellery cost fifteen million. “I didn't know how much Kayle paid for the clothes, but I'm sure you can buy your own.”“I will take you to hairstyle tomorrow; I would have brought them home for home service, but I like taking precautions; don't bring strangers to your house.”“You are right, it is quite dangerous, and more so, the house owner would come soon; he might not like many people into his house except people he brought himself,” she admitted. ***Lucas departed for his room after eating dinner with Sheila. He was thinking of what would happen the next day when his phone beeped. John sent him a text about the latest s
“Ma’am, your husband is rich, you wearing the most expensive diamond ring 20 dollars,”Sheila was not happy with the way these couple were valuing her ring, they spoke in sarcasm, and got Sheila angry she thought they were devaluing her ring and she snapped at them, “No matter how much it is, please spare me, allow me to do my hair thank you,”“Ma’am, being our role model, we will like to have picture with you,” the lady asked Sheila sigh heavily, she regretted meeting these people early in the morning. She accepted to take picture with them and the man said she should show her ring in the picture because they could not afford it.Sheila scoffed and sneered,“You can't afford $20 ring and you claim to be rich, what a joke!” The man responded politely,“Not a joke ma, twenty million dollars is not small money, only rich people like you can afford it,”Sheila released her anger and asked in disvelife,“You mean my ring worth twenty million dollars?”“Yes, we could not buy it and we bough
Chapter 193Sheila smiled and said,” We never had a quarrel, but you chose to fight when I'm peaceful. I will pretend I didn't hear everything you have said. You ladies should walk away because you won't escape if I take it up with you.”“Splendid! Are you threatening us? What can you do?”“Absolute nothing when you lied that you are the CEO’s wife and you are a snitch who is dating your friend's ex, the useless and pauper man your friend rejected, and you picked it up. Good for you because you like trash. Today will be your last day in this company because we heard the CEO and his wife are coming. We will make sure we tell them how you want to steal this place and claim it as your own,” she smiled sinisterly as she rested her hands on her waist. Sheila wasn't surprised when she mentioned her friend; she knew they might be instigated by Lydia to fight her. Despite their bullying, she smiled and maintained a calm demeanor. She had been warned not to look defeated in front of her enem
Lucas and Sheila walked in like a newlywed couple.All eyes were on them; some couldn't believe what they saw; the clothes they were wearing were screaming wealth.Lydia rolled her eyes toone side as she saw them and muttered, “Lucas and Drama, who did he want to impress? He wore a fake designer to feel among them.” Two ladies who had attacked Sheila came before them and stopped them from moving forward.“Where do you think you are going? You have heard that the CEO won't make it here today, and you invited your pauper boyfriend to show up with fake designers,” one of the ladies told them.“Stay out of our way,” Sheila warned them, but they refused. “You and your stinky boyfriend should leave this venue now before we disrespect you.”A sly grin escaped from the corner of Lucas' mouth as she watched them rant.“It is obvious that you ladies are tired of working here; you will soon be served your relief of appointments,” Lucas said.“Who is he that will serve us relief from duty?” “Y
CHAPTER ONE: It was a rainy day in Oak Lawn and Lucas grasped onto what was left of his umbrella firmly. Today was his wife's birthday and Lucas had worked many hours on three different jobs, his lips widened into a smile with a hint of exhaustion grasping onto his face. He took a bus and stopped right at a flower shop, there was so much excitement beaming on his face, despite how tough things had been between the both of them, he was glad that he finally got some money to buy her a gift for her birthday. Striding inside the flower shop, he came to a halt right in front of a white velvet flower and he knew that this was the one for her, it was snow white with a glistering of gold, there was no way Lydia was going to reject such a gift. “How much is it?” He asked the shop owner who stood there watching him trying to make a choice. “A hundred bucks”. The old man replied, Lucas dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out the last money he had on him, although he was able to mak
