You don’t expect me to fold my hands and do nothing. We’re both in charge of it. Naturally, I have to deal with it whether being experienced in the field or not” Samantha said calmly. “You didn’t give him the chance to surrender himself! You’re such a ruthless woman.

Chapter: I underestimated you Miss George!Chapter TenSamantha and Jace watched, waiting to hear their requests. “We understand that your project has already achieved this level, and relocation is a waste of money. How about 100 million dollars, then we will move the grave,” said the leading man while holding out a finger.“100 million dollars?” Jace was shocked. The man folded his arms as if they had already been gracious, saying, “If you make a relocation, you’ll lose more than a 100 million dollars. We have so many people in the village, and we will all be affected by the relocation of our ancestors’ graves. Losing money is a trivial matter. Once we get sick, this money will be essential to buy back our life!“Exactly! 100 million dollars is not much at all!”“We’re already being merciful. We gambled the lives of the whole village to help you save from losing more than on billion dollars. Don’t you be ignorant not knowing what’s good for yourself!”The scene went into an uproar.

About the recommendations and online findings..” She uttered. “I…I…” he stuttered and Samantha interrupted as well. “You know I’m not even supposed to be mad. I guessed I expected more from you and you didn’t fail to disappoint” She said. Sabastine sighed. He’d fail her.“I’m so sorry Sam. I was going to tell you after the dinner. I only wanted you to rate the amazing meal without taking sides or wanting to pleased me knowing it’s mine. I only needed a sincere recommendation from you. I’m sorry that I lied”Samantha sighed.

Chapter: The little lesson“Ha. Ha..haaa”Claire suddenly laughed as she looked from the security man to Bianca. She looked back to Samantha and pointed a finger at her. “How can you say this scheme of a woman here is a guest to the manager!” She blurted and added quickly. “How ridiculous!”Samantha couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She was getting irritated already. “And…And I’m the manager wife. Are you saying my husband brought this woman here?” She asked and the security man furrowed his brows. He knew his boss was single. Not even in a relationship nor alone married. “I don’t know what you’re spouting miss. I’ll suggest you’ve your meal peacefully and leave instead of causing choas here” he said. “Claire, what’s happening?. I thought your husband owns this place?” Bianca muttered out. Oh no!Claire thought. She can’t possibly loose face in front of Bianca!“Of course! Davis owns here”She replied and pointing at the security man, she continued. “This man here seems new.

Thank you” Samantha muttered and headed straight to Axle room. Gina had informed her earlier that she will be going on a date. Samantha opened the door slowly to avoid making any sound. Axle was fast asleep with a book above her head. She dropped her bag beside the bed and proceeded to join Axle on the bed. Little Axle sighed as if sensing her mother’s present. Samantha covered them both with a duvet and wrapped her arm around Axle. She didn’t want to think about anything. Not Davis. Not Claire. She was just gonna pretend she never met with any of them tonight. “I won’t let them hurt you. Momma promise” she whispered as she peck Axle on her cheek. She shut her eyes and let the sleep cloud he
