“What's your name?” Camille asked the children.“I'm Mary and my sister is Vanessa.” the older sister replied.“Wow, nice names.” Camille smiled at them.“There it is.” Mary pointed at a small house ahead of them. Sean pulled up the car in front of the house, he turned off the engine, and they all alighted from the car.Camille gasped at the exterior view of the house, it looked like a house built for live stock, it's not fit for a human to live in. They had to bend their heads as they entered. The interior view was even worse. There was no chair for them to sit and they had to sit on a mat.“Where are your parents?” Sean asked.The older one went inside another small room and came out alone afterward, “He will so be here.” She replied.The loud sound of a man coughing echoed throughout the room. He walked slowly, and the older daughter quickly brought a small stool and helped him on it.The state of the man wasn't funny at all, he needed medical attention immediately. “My daughters t
Sean brow narrowed as he stared at her. “Did you check who could have done it?”Camille touched her forehead with her palm, closing her eyes, “The traces were cleared off.”Sean sat in front of her on the couch. While the kids went around the house having fun and admiring the beautiful designs of the house.“That’s odd.” Sean muttered. “Have you thought of who could have done it? Perhaps a mistake from your employees?”Camille shook her head, “It can’t be from my employees, It’s only Tiffany and me that has access to the room the designs were kept, and I’m sure it’s definitely not from her.” “I’ll have someone check your office. They should find a clue.” “I’m not bothered about who did it, the event bothers me, I won’t have anything to present and that’s the end.” She felt a pang of pain in her heart as she said. “I let everyone down,” She said at the verge of tears. Sean stood walking over to her, he embraced her. “Instead of feeling guilty or discourage, let’s find a solution-““
Camille looked at the designs they just created.“Wow, they all turned out well.” Tiffany chuckled excited.“I deserve an award as well. Ouch, my back.” Ethan groaned.Vanessa whispered to Tiffany, “This uncle looks lazy.” she scrunched her nose as she said. Tiffany could not help but laugh.“I think so too.” She laughed, looking in his direction.Ethan caught them looking at him and laughing, “Hey, are you both talking about me?” he furrowed his brows.Tiffany ignored him and turned to Mary, “Bring the basket to the dining. I will go bring some cups and a drink to celebrate.”“You do realize we have just thirty minutes left to the event.” Camille said.Sean placed his palm on her shoulder, “I know you are nervous, but trust me everything will work out well.” he assured with a sweet smile.“Thanks Sean.” She smiled back at him.“Oh, I'm so jealous.” Vanessa pouted, staring at Sean and Camille. She turned to Ethan, “Uncle, do you have a girlfriend?” Ethan looked at his side to be certa
Ethan pulled Tiffany close to himself, “You aren't making me concentrate.” Tiffany said with a stern look.“You are the one making me not to concentrate,” his hand went down to her ass.“Hmm Ethan.” Tiffany moaned between the kiss.“Were you saying something?” Ethan said taking her to the other room. She shook her head in response, “No, just continue.” she murmured.Ethan stopped kissing and looked at her, it was clear from her expression that she wanted more, and he loved that.“We can't have it now, how about after the event.” he trailed his fingers down her cheeks. “Alright,” she muttered.The car stopped in front of the big hotel, reporters filled the area all wanting to have a word with the celebrities coming to the event. Camille and Sean cane out of the car along with the kids. They walked hand in hand on the red carpet.“Why are there so many people taking pictures of us?” Vanessa looked at her sister inquisitively.“Miss Camille is a famous designer, that's how it's done for
“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. Don’t come out, okay?” They nodded in unison.“Mary, watch over Vanessa. I’ll be right back.” She said to her coming down from the car.She ran hoping to see Ethan, “Ethan,” She saw him from a distance and called. Ethan looked back surprise on his face, “What are you doing here? I thought I said stay in the car.” His expression was serious as he spoke.“I want to come along, Camille is my friend and I can’t let you go in there alone.” She said.Ethan sighed loudly, “This is more dangerous than you think, Tiff. If something goes wrong I won’t be able
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
