Lucia returned to her bedroom, only to be pulled aside by Jael.Jael’s eyes were gleaming from excitement just to gossip. "Lucia, whose car was it that came to drop you?”Lucia looked at Jael with surprise. How come this girl knows someone dropped her off. The car park was almost empty when they arrived." That was Me Leon. The man that will be donating blood for Pablo's surgery. ""oh..." So that's what happened. Then she turned to Lucia, her gossip mode activated." Is he handsome?" What does he do?Did he ask for an absurd compensation in return for helping Pablo?"Jael asked a string of questions at a time.Lucia smiled looking at her. This girl always made her feel warm even when her world's being turned upside down. Sometimes, she acts like her mother." No mum" she answered. " Everything went on very well. "" Pablo's surgery has been scheduled for next week. Mr Leon has a business trip to go on tomorrow. And he'll only be back in a weeks time."" That's great! " I guess Pablito
When she got to the hostel, Jael was there as well because she didn't have a class at all today. Looking at Lucia enter absentmindedly, she asked. " What's up babe?" Why do you look as if you have a lot on your mind." Did you look for a slot in a movie Ebony is producing for me?" she asked back. "Me? No... I would have told you if I had " Ebony is a very big company. Although her family was affluent and she could pull of some deals for Lucia, she couldn't go that far with Ebony entertainment. Though Lucia knew that Jael probably didn't know about this, she was still worried when she heard her say it wasn't her doing. She frowned, deep in thought.This call from that company was really odd. She still can't figure out who that friend that recommended her was.They were just looking for a substitute.And Ebony Entertainment did not have to get someone to call her personally.If they wanted to contact her, they could’ve gotten the person who recommended her in the first place to do so.The most
After Lucia came back from the bathroom, Jeal went to her and said. " I've looked into the call you had earlier about being a body double. " " And guess what I found out." As soon as she said that Lucia knew that it wasn't a friend but rather, a foe. And only one name could come to mind... Renata. " it was Renata, right?" It's only that mother and daughter duo who will try to sabotage her. " yup. it's her... I don't know what her motive is for letting you be her body double." " but I'm hundred percent sure that it's not for a good reason." Renata is definitely not a saint that will help her elder sister. There has to be a reason for her trying to lure her into going in for that role. If it was before Pablo got support from Mr Leon, then she would just keep ignoring her. But now that Pablo is going to be okay, she has nothing to fear anymore. They want her to be a body double? Then she'll give them a performance that they'll never forget! Jael looked at Lucia and smirked. She knew that
Jael and Lucia were in the dorm lazying about as they didn't have any lectures in the evening.Jael felt so bored that she started making plans for their upcoming graduation." So what do you think we should wear to our graduation?" Should we go out to shop for clothes? "" I'm really bored as it is." Let's go tomorrow ok?" she said as she held Lucia's hand and began to swing it about like a kid asking for candy.Lucia was amused by how enthusiastic she could be at times. but she was happy that at least she had someone like Jael who would always try her possible best to make her laugh." okay, okay... let's go look around tomorrow after lectures." she said after Jael made so many cute faces that was so funny she contain her laughter anymore.Jael got a call as they were talking. Looking at the number that was calling, she frowned." what do these people want again at this time? Didn't they already tell us to go over in two days time for the shoot?"The call ended without Jael picking u
Renata walked to the gown she saw as soon as she entered, so she was not aware of the people inside." Johnny, I'll go try this on first."" hhm" Johnny answered. Then he looked around as well.A few minutes later, Renata walked out of the changing room. " Johnny, how do I look?"she asked.Johnny was stunned for a moment when he saw Renata in that dress. For some reason that even he was not aware of, he pictured Lucia in the dress. She would look more beautiful in this dress. As he thought about this, he smiled.Renata saw him smile as he looked absent-minded. He definitely wasn't looking at her, but was thinking about that vixen Lucia. Even when they're no more together, he still thinks of her.She was going to make sure that he forgets that Lucia for good this time. She thought as she dug her finger nails into her palm so much that it hurt her.She intentionally cleared her throat to draw him back.Johnny looked at Renata, coming back to his senses." it looks pretty on you."Renata
The sales girls could tell that Renata didn’t like her sister, so they wanted to get into her good books by helping her teach this " sister " of hers a lesson. One of them said flatteringly, “Ms. Renata, who is she? Is she really your sister? ” Another one echoed on and said " yeah, are you sure she's not some imposter? Because she looks nothing like you at all. " " Maybe she's an illegitimate daughter. " another echoed.Lucia looked at them like clowns and laughed in her heart. This fools only know how to bootlick. " you are wrong " she said as she walked back to where they are. " I'm the legal wife's daughter. whereas she .... " she didn't complete her sentence but the sales girls immediately caught on to what she was insinuating. They realised that they may have said the wrong words and made the wrong person angry.Sure enough as they turned to look at Renata, they saw her face cloud over. One of them tried to say something to make Lucia look bad infront of Renata, just to get on her
He turned to the manager and said " clear out all those that look down on people just because of their background. We don't need people like that to purchase from our store."Forward this met to all our other stores, they won't not be allowed into any of our stores, as well as any of the stores that has partnership with us."Then he held Lucia's hand and left after taking the card from the cashier who had her mouth opened to the extent that a whole egg could fit in.Jael who came with Lucia, looked on with surprise as well. But beyond surprise she was happy that someone came to stand up for Lucia. She followed them out as she smugly looked over at Renata, Johnny and the sales girls who were bad-mouthing them.The manager censured them coldly." Go for your paycheck and don't step foot in here anymore. " He then asked security to escort them out. The girls looked at him with paled expressions.Two of them saw that things didn't go as they thought and started to look in Renata's direction
Leon headed straight to a private room on the second floor. Judging by the decoration, you could tell at a glance that it was a private room specially made for the wealthy upper class.Leon pulled up a chair for Lucia y his side. She was surprised at first, but sat down. Then PA Wilson sat down with Jael as well.“Order whatever you want to eat.” He said as he handed over the menu to her.”Lucia looked at him, puzzled. Is he not the one who said he hasn’t eaten yet, why then is he giving the menu to her to order? She picked up the menu and ordered some light dishes, then passed the menu back to him. Leon also chose some random menus and passed the menu back to the waiter.Both PA Wilson and Jael “…..”Wilson looked at Leon as if saying “boss, is it good to kick me to the curb right after I helped you?” Jael also looked at him and smiled. This man only sees Lucia and no one else. He even pushed his PA aside. But that is good too. At least it shows how much he cared about Lucia. That was
