“Hmm, I'm nervous. What if she doesn't pass the judges review?” Tiffany whispered to Ethan, her tone low.Ethan eyes narrowed to her direction, she's been using her hand to blow air on herself like the AC was not enough. “I believe she will pull this off. Just have faith in sister-in-law.”Tiffany nodded trying to be calm, she closed her eyes, inhaling and exhaling deeply. “Just have faith.” she muttered to herself before opening her eyes to look at Camille on the stage. “Why do we have to use expensive materials to make design? The designs we create are not mainly meant for the rich. Why differentiate between ourselves with the kind of clothes we put on? I need to buy a dress but just because it has a touch of gold the price will be tripled. All I'm saying in essence is that a designer should be able to use whatever form of design be it cheap or expensive on a material and still bring out the beauty of it.” the crowd erupted in a loud applause after her speech. Her design was passe
The elevator shaked making Camille lose her balance, she almost fell trying to hold on to something and Cole caught her quickly. Cole's hand wrap around her slender waist pulling her closer to him. “Are you alright?” he asked as the shaking stopped. Camille nodded quickly getting out of his hold as she arranged her dress, “Yes I'm fine.” she muttered a bit embarrassed. Cole chuckled lightly. She turned to him again, “You were saying you came to save me, from what?”The elevator door opened at the fifth floor, Camille came out, and he followed behind her. She hit her leg on each other almost falling, she opened her eyes slowly thinking she had hit the ground, her eyes opened wide to meet Cole's face on hers. “You should watch your steps.” He helped her up, and she muttered a thank-you. “I'm headed back to the event I'll take the stairs.” “Camille,” he called just as she turned to leave. “Hm,” she muttered turning to him. “Let's meet after the event. I have something to tell you
Ethan stopped the car not far from the hotel and removed the car keys. He turned to the back seat looking at Tiffany and said, “I’ll be right back, stay in the car.” He opened the car door coming down. Tiffany turned to the kids. “What’s wrong? Is Miss Camille okay?” Vanessa sniffed looking at Tiffany.Tiffany smiled at them hugging them close, “Camille is fine, I’m going to bring her back okay? I want you to trust me and stay in the car.

Sean looked at the armed men with guns pointed at him. Camille clutched tight to his shoulder still in his arm. He dropped Camille gently on the ground. “Wait here, I promise to be quick.” He muttered. She pulled his arm backwards and kissed his lips, “Be careful,” Sean nodded at her and stood up facing the men. He raised his hands up like he was surrendering and moved closer to the men. “Who sent you?” he asked. They cocked their guns, “You don’t ask questions.” One of them said.Sean kept on walking closer and one of them screamed for him to stop moving. Sean paused with a smirk, “At least I should know who sent you before you kill me. Don’t you think that’s fair?” “You don’t get to talk unless we ask you to. Just follow us and there won’t be any harm.” The one who screamed for him to stop said.Sean glanced secretly at the man by his side a few meters from him. “Behind you,” He screamed, and before they knew what was happening, Sean grabbed the gun from the one by his side usin

Her heart beat increases her chest rising and falling, slowly she raised her head to see who the gunshot hit.The unknown person was hit on the arm. The person held it shoulder, groaning in pain.

“Miss Camille—”Sean chipped in, his arm beneath his chest, “You heard are right? She's not helping him, you should take him else where or find some drugs that can cure him, doesn't he have families?” Sean's gaze pierced into them, one of the women pinched the other for them to leave. They forced a smile slowly turning to leave.Frederick grabbed a hold of the bed, “Camille,” he called, raising his head up slowly.Camille fold her fist tightly on her chest, she shut her eyes tightly.Camille turned over, sitting up straight. Her eyes met Frederick's in a long stare. “Camille, are you fine?” he asked, he moves his wheelchair closer to her.Camille sneered, “Why do you ask?”“I watched the news and your name was mentioned. They said you were attacked, and I rushed over to see you. Are you fine?

Sofia quivered hiding behind a wall, her eyes closed. “Where is Fredrick?” Cassie said walking down the hallway of her office with her assistant.“He had an emergency again, I sent the nurses to attend to him. He’s presently at home.” Cassie nodded, her face looked pale as she dragged her feet on the floor. She paused staring at the floor like she forgot something.
