Chapter 16 - 16

She had proudly gone to the Ceo's office and many had been envious of her and wished to curry favor with her when she returns but who knew that...this really was incomprehensible. It was today that they realized that their boss could also be savage in his actions. Other CEOs would at least just fire the disobedient employee but their boss went to this extent...it means he's got no respect for anyone be it a man or woman and this is just terrible to see.

They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You can't do this to me."The lady cried but she was mercilessly thrown out of the office by security.

"Don't worry, our boss will compensate you. He just wishes to have fun AT OTHERS EXPENSE. That's how he is"Aati whispered with a smile and then walked away cooly.

Sonia rose up from the ground and bit her lip as passersby laughed at her making her clench her fists. She looked back at the company she'd been thrown out from and swore in her heart to teach Nelson Woodley a lesson he'd never forget-that he should respect a woman's pride and dignity.

With that, she left the area amidst mirth from others and boarded a taxi.

Right in the bag was a check of 2 million and a bundle of notes amounting to 33 thousand dollars.

She smiled a bit when she saw them but the smile did not last for long.

"Still, i will make him pay" she swore in her heart as the taxi sped along the road.

************

Back at the office, Nelson Woodley smiled as he got up from his seat. He was expecting a guest that had never been seen here for months.

He decided to cancel all his appointments in order to see that person.

Putting one hand in his pocket, he took his car keys and left for the elevator.

Inside the elevator was his secretary.

"Sir...where"

"I wanna see my darling friend. You can come along and have fun if you want" Nelson said generously but his secretary shook his head. The last time he went with his boss to a friend reunion, it turned into a serious fight and later, he was turned into a punching bag though that allowed his some months off work he'd rather not go through that again no matter how much pay he'd get.

"You don't need to follow then. Just help me sign the doc.u.ments on my table" said Nelson with a knowing smile.

He smiled foolishly.

"Sir...i was just joking. Who wouldn't want to follow you? You are a .."Mr. Peters was interrupted.

"Don't praise me. I know your happiness" said Nelson in a narcissistic tone making his secretary stunned.

"Happiness? This is the worst day of my life. I haven't even written my will yet. Gosh! What am i thinking I'm still young."Mr peter thought.

The elevator opened and Nelson stepped out first and Peter followed him to the last floor.

The employees stared at them for 2 seconds and faced their work. They didn't want to be fired from this well paying job that they had. Nelson came outside and saw many cars passing and he smiled.

He entered the Maybach Excelero and drove away by himself.

As expected, he wouldn't let me come along. It's good that sir has feelings. I'm touched"thought Mr. Peter with a sigh only for his phone to ring.

It was his boss and Mr.Peters' face twisted as he answered the call.

Mr. Peters: "Hello, boss"

Nelson: "Peters, i think i'm pregnant, my water broke"

Peters: "?????

Nelson" "I'm joking. Meet me up at Theo's cafe. Don't be late"

The line hung up and Peters began to shed non-existent tears.

"Is he going to meet his girlfriend or something?"Peters thought before boarding a taxi.

Meanwhile, Lisa's father had been informed that his daughter was miraculously alive and that her savior was unconscious.

"Boring!" her dad muttered before drinking coffee and at the same time reading an analysis report from the manager.

"It's almost time," he said again before standing.

He put down the analysis report and patted the creases on his suit.

"I have an appointment. Jason, prepare the Rolls-Royce. I'm going incognito today" he said as he headed for the bathroom in his master bedroom.

His secretary shook her head.

"Going incognito in a Rolls-Royce. Now that's more like her boss. Rich people do think differently from the poor. Such is life" she thought with a sigh and left the room to fulfill her boss' command.

At the hospital, Vanessa had woken up and was being fed noodles by Lisa while Evelyn sat at corner sulking.

"Evelyn come over here"

Evelyn turned her head to look at Vanessa who was still smiling.

Strange! Vanessa can't speak for now. Did she so much wanna be with her friend that she'd started hallucinating?

Yeah! It must be it.

"Evelyn, my best buddy. Come over here"

Evelyn stood up still looking at Vanessa.

"Am i going crazy?" she asked herself.

Vanessa smiled at Evelyn and nodded her head making Evelyn more confused.

"Evelyn don't be scared. Come to me. I can telepath now. So let's talk telepathically."

Evelyn looked at Vanessa and walked towards her and Lisa but Lisa was angry.

"Evil lady don't you think of coming here.I'm not letting you take my mama," said Lisa.

Vanessa patted her little head and nodded at Evelyn.

"Come here, buddy"Evelyn fainted at the thought that she was going crazy.

"Hey, why did you fall? Don't you dare pretend.I'm not leaving my mama" Lisa yelled "Guards"

At once, two female bodyguards came in.

"She wants to steal my mama. Beat her"

"Miss, she really has fainted," said Amber one of the female guards.

"So," Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. "Take her away," she ordered but Vanesa rubbed Lisa's head and smiled.

"Fine!I'll let her stay. Get one of the doctors to come to check on her."Lisa commanded and immediately one of the guards left quickly.
