Chapter 101
I tried to wrap my head around what could make Grandma Mica this mumblest about a criminal. Where could they have met! Lasked myself countless times but I got no answer in response.
I thought the death of the criminal would bring peace of mind to her but it seemed like she barely had any prace since she saw the pictures of the
I cursed myself inwardly when I remembered the picture incident. I was so careless to leave the pictures within her reach.
She turned on the bed, making me soap out of my thoughts.
“Did I wake you?” asked with a soft voice but she smiled and shook her head with sleepy eyes.
“You’re back! How was your day?” She squired, sitting up on the bed. This made me frown as I didn’t want her stressed because
“I had a blast, but Fm sure you don’t need the go because you watched it all on TV” I replied and she smiled.
That was the only reason why she didn’t grab my hands with a worried face the minute she saw me.
We chatted and I looked at her with pity throughout our conversation but tried to hide it. Claire said she had to douse her beverage with sleeping pills so she could stop worrying and get some rest and had managed to wake her up from that sleep,
You need to rest Grandma, we’ll talk better tomorrow,” I said, getting up from the bed and she nodded while closing her eyes to return to sleep..
The next day I woke up early and checked on Moon and Grandma Mira before leaving the house. It dawned on me that the conference was at hand and I had been so distracted with the court case and the defamation that I didn’t pay attention to it
The minute I go to the restaurant, assembled the staff I’d be going with who were mostly chefs and delegated duties to them and went on to do mine which was mainly arranging things, the cookware, and the ingredients we prepped previously and done raw ingredients that would be hard to find when we get to the other side.
Every hand was on deck but somehow, my heart managed to trail towards the incident of the previous day, the stiff face Maya maintained in the court and the facade of a remorseful face she wore when apologizing
She knew that I didn’t believe her words, she knew I caught on to what she had up her sleeves but she didn’t budge, she held the attitude telling me that there was nothing I could do.
Her unfazed expression hinted things to me, I knew might just be out of instinct but it wouldn’t be totally impossible for her to be this one who
Beat the criminal.
If anything I’ve come to know about her these past few days, it was that she would go to lengths to bring down her target and from the way she came for me, it was clear that I was her target. It just made sense.
However, I had no evidence to back up my claim so I couldn’t hold her to it. Though we were able to gish the shareholders out, the person who sent the criminal was still on the run as far as I was concerned, it could be anyone.
was able to pick Veronica initially and now, Maya, because of their ill–treatment towards me but what if they were not the culprits? What if its someone else who hates me for a diderent reason!
While trying to find who was behind the false news on the net, I saw the comments and reposts and even though they paid some of those people, the people who expressed hate towards me were a lot.
“Ma’am, the driver is here. One of the waitresses came to inform me, making me leave my thoughts.
I rushed to the door to confirm the delivery of some needed utensils and told the security men at the door to help take them to the kitchen where we wrapped them properly and prepared for transport.
My mind went to Quania and my tummy flipped when I remembered our last discussion and how it went when I tried to appreciate him for his
The piece of paper he removed from my hair and the assumption I made but tried to hide. Sudden anxiety churned in my stomach at the thought of spending a work with Jain in Italy.
I knew it was going to be all work, leat I didn’t know how much I could trust myself not to misbehave around him anymore.
He did everything so right recently and it melted my heart. Though I noticed that he and Veronica don’t go out together again and despite the urge I had to ask about her to know what the sly bitch was out about, I held back so I wouldn’t give him other ideas of wanting to come back and asking about my rival to confirmuat there’s a vacant space.

Paper 101
The duo’s relationship was not as rosy as before and even though I wanted to pay her back for what she did to me years ago so badly, I didn’t
throw myself at Quinn and take advantage of their sour relationship.
After arranging the items. I addressed my staff o
my staff once again, the trip was in two days, and they had to deliver excellence. I allowed them to take the next day off so they could get their things ready, and rest as well.
couldn’t help but feel like Quinn was part of the reason why the clients didn’t cancel me for the conference in Italy. Even though the news going around was false news, it was detrimental to my career.
They must’ve seen it and felt like I wouldn’t be able to deliver quality but they didn’t call me throughout the saga neither did they express displeasure at the way my brand was being dragged and Td be cooking for their important guests soon
The next day, I got up and arranged my clothes in my box with some essentials a woman would need and it dawned on me that I would be leaving the country the next day for real.
A feeling of foreboding suddenly washed over me at the thought of leaving my family for a whole week. Especially after the incident that confirinèd the hatred people had for me.
Anyone could decide that when I am out of the country is the best time to invade my home and hurt them and I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to them.
I’d already come too close and I’d committed myself to this event, I wish I hadn’t, I would ve opted out to protect my family.
I went to the living room after packing my box with a sad face and Grandma Mira who was sitting on her favorite chair in the sitting room called me out the minute she noticed my gloomy face.
“What’s wrong child?” She asked with a worried expression.
“It’s nothing much granny, I just feel like I shouldn’t go for the conference outside the country. I don’t want to leave you and Moon alone, âmid people who hate us.” 1 expressed my thoughts and she smiled at me.
“That’s thoughtful of you but you have to go do your job. We will be fine.”
Her words were not enough to awre
but I nodded regardless.
