LYDIA'S POV.MID-NIGHT."What the hell was that?" Lorena asked loudly, I quickly shushed in case someone had broken into the mansion which would be quite surprising as the security around the house was tight."Girl what?" She giggled as I gestured for her to follow behind me. But she took quite yet fast steps down the stairs, I shook my head at her quickly grabbing anything probably harmful near my reach. I spotted a flower vase and grabbed it though it was a bit heavy plus the bouquet of flowers in it obstructs my view."Now, what is going on here?!" Lorena yelled with amusement in her tone as soon as we barged into the kitchen. I was bewildered at her bravery. I moved the flower vase to my left side in order to see the scene in front of me clearly, I scrunched up my face dropping the vase to the floor.My father was in a black robe looking at us in shock, as if we were the last people he would expect to see at this time of the night. Meanwhile, Patricia was in her pajamas and her ou

LYDIA'S POV.MONDAY (TWO DAYS LATER)"Beep! Beep!" The alarm continued ringing and for what felt like the dozenth time just this morning, I switched it off. I cozed into my soft warm queen size bed in bliss, the sleep was good. I had no idea what today was nor did I care about any other thing.For what felt like another hour, I fell into a deep slumber and this time I was interrupted by the loud sound of my ringing tone. I groaned and without opening my eyes, I used my hands to search for the phone which I was certain was on the stand next to me. "Hello?" The thick sound of sleep was in my voice."Good morning Miss Lydia, please don't tell me you're still in bed." The voice of my assistant held an urgent need for me to not ascertain her assumption. "What's going on? Why are you calling me so early?" I croaked out and her next words had me falling off the bed."Ma'am, you do know it's Monday morning, and there's another emergency meeting with the board of directors. And the meeting s

LYDIA'S POV.I sighed deeply playing back Roseline's words, I thoroughly needed to keep things professional just as my father and Andrew were keeping their composure rather than going off on him."Welcome, welcome, welcome! As the CFO, I would like to personally welcome you on board. I'm so happy, thrilled, and delighted to be working with you. We all are confident that this partnership will be successful and beneficial for both companies without any complications." The fake enthusiasm could be heard in my tone and a stifled laughter could be heard coming from Andrew. I rolled my eyes at him not giving Nathaniel a second glance."We will see during Lunch?" I directed the question to Andrew who nodded affirmatively, I smiled finding my way out of the office. Nathaniel on the other hand, took a seat across Andrew keeping a straight face."It's so nice to see you again, Lisa." I said before leaving the office. Through the corner of my eye, I saw her lips curl into a smile and she whisper

JENNY'S POV."Good morning." I chirped with a huge smile on my face as soon as I arrived at the dinning table where Rachel and Mrs King were seated talking in a hushed tone. As soon as I took a seat, I observed Rachel was whipping her tears and letting out a shaky breath."Are you okay?" I asked with concern and she simply blinked repeatedly without uttering a word."She's fine, don't worry about her. But you…you look great and prepared." Mrs King said and I smiled gesturing to the maid who was pouring me a full cup of tea. It was enough."I am prepared." I told her and she stared at me with a proud smile. I felt extremely confident in a short black polkadot dress, it stopped a few inches before my knee and it was tightly fitted just how I liked it. It was long-sleeved, off shoulder showing the upper part of my shoulder and little cleavage, I was excited knowing for sure I was going to get the job through my looks, connection, body and history."Good. I'm glad you're doing this. I rea

LYDIA'S POV.I was discussing with one of the representatives of the finance team, who was showing me the financial report from the hotel in the neighboring country. It was close to the end of the month, where I became extremely busy with reviewing the financial reports of the chains of hotels and restaurants they company owned and I would have to present it to the board members. As he spoke to me where we were standing in front of the conference room, I sighted Andrew walking down the hall with his secretary behind him. He had an unpleasant look on his face and it was quite hilarious due to the fact it was quite early in the morning to have such a stank look. I dismissed the representative and informed him, I would review the reports before darting towards Andrew. "Good morning, Mr Grumpy. How was your date with Macy?" I stifle my laughter walking fast to match his pace. He didn't respond but I still followed him into his office like a lost puppy because I truly needed to know ever
