"Sandra, I understand what you are going through and honestly it is beyond me, if I knew the reason myself, I would have informed you, all this is at the discretion of the authorities," Sandra replied empathically. "Well, could you please, help me to confirm from the director and I will be extremely glad if I could speak with the director," Sandra pleaded, she didn't know that Patricia herself was oblivious to the sudden termination of the contract with them. "I am sorry, I am not permitted to do that, and in addition, In the future, you or anyone from Smith International Company would not be given access to this company.

When Sandra got back to Mr and Mrs Oliver Smit Villa, who had been waiting to hear positive feedback from her and before she could utter anything, the melancholy look on her face had depicted the outcome of her visit to Annex Group of Companies to Mr and Mrs Oliver Smith. "I am sorry grandfather and grandmother, I couldn't get the reason for the termination of the contract with our company and unfortunately, I was informed that anyone from Smith International Company wouldn't be given access into Annex Group of Company next time," Sandra explained with teary eyes, she was well convinced that she might lose her position as the head of managers of Smith International Company.

The following day, all of the managers started preparing as every one of them rehearsed how to speak to the manager and the director of the Annex Group of companies.It was Jeffrey and Dave, the managers of blocks and cements and clothing accessories that first went, however, they were not allowed to enter through the gate of Annex Group of Companies. The security guards informed them that they shouldn't ever show their face again and it was with shame that they dragged their feet and left Annex Group of Companies.With bitterness in their heart, they informed Mr and Mrs Oliver Smith who were deeply disappointed and it seems that all hope are getting lost for them, they would have contacted the managing director themselves, however, since he was new and he was still concealing his identity, they didn't know which ways to go about it than to keep sending their managers who were always going to sign the contract. "I guess it is high time I went to Annex Group of Companies, I am handso
Chapter 21 Ella kept on attending to customers. She was extremely exhausted after the customers left, she was a bit glad as she walked sluggishly down to her small office.She was so weak and tired and she took a small fruit juice drink from the refrigerator, she didn't know when she gulped everything down her throat. She was glad that she made so much money today from the little tips the customers gave her. "Keep the change," actually helps her a lot. She thought deeply about her first customer, Anthony, and although she regretted her actions towards him. However, she knew that Anthony had good hands. H had opened the way for the rest of the customers to give her money, even though she still felt some little pain from the slap Williams gave her, she still was happy that at least for some days now, she wouldn't go hungry. She touched her tummy as she thought that soon she would be a mother and she wouldn't want her child to go through the childhood experience she had. She though
"Ella, are you fine?" Ella heard as she opened her eyes and saw Williams staring at her, she couldn't believe that it was Williams, the manager of Bentley guest house that was asking her if she was fine, but something struck by his appearance, The blood bruises are no longer on his face, the bruises are now covered with plastered and he looked much refreshed."He might have gone to the hospital," Ella thought."Good afternoon, Williams," Ella greeted as she immediately stood up without bothering to reply to his question."I am sorry, I was just tired, I will leave now," Ella stated and immediately tried to hurry out of her small office. "No o, it's fine, since there is no customer," Ella was shocked, if it was Williams, the manager or maybe his brain had reset because of the beating given to him by Anthony. She thanked Anthony in her heart. "You can take any drink of your choice, and meet Annabel to give you something to eat," Williams stated, this must indeed be a dream to her, she
"Pregnant? Like are you for real?" Williams asked surprisingly. "See Williams, this is exactly why I need your help, firstly, she needs to stay out of this vicinity and get a job that will cater for her needs, aside from that, she needs an apartment to stay in, I just want you to help her, please," Rita pleaded. Ella was sitting down playing unconsciously with her fingernails as she looked sober, she prayed in her heart that Williams should accept to help her."Well, because of her condition, Rita, I do really need to tell you the truth, a waitress job is too tedious, I am afraid, she wouldn't be able to cope with it," Williams stated pitifully, he wanted to ask questions further about who was responsible for her pregnancy, however, he kept mute about it, he thought he could always ask later. "Please, don't think about my condition, I promise, I can work, I can do any work, I am a strong girl," Ella interrupted as she pleaded with Williams. "Well, if you say, you will be employed
"Have I ever lied to you before now, my precious billionaire daughter? And don't you ever mention that your wretched father again. He would never be rich," Helga stated with a wicked grin. Logan Owen was Miranda's father, he was so poor, lazy and wretched, when Helga was with him, he hardly provide them basic necessities of life, and most time Helga would run back to her mother to ask for food and because her saloon business wasn't moving well, she would use most of the money she got to take care of herself. However, after she had Miranda, things became much tougher for her as she rarely had nothing to eat and her miserable husband Logan Owen wouldn't do anything about it. When she was tired and couldn't cope, about the time Miranda was about 3 years of age, Helga packed out of Logan Owen's house and moved to her mother's place and since then she had been taking care of her daughter, Miranda with the help of her mother.
