Sapphire tried to move away but he tightened his hand around her shoulder and neck. "Hey..let me go" "Ah, where are you off to sweetheart? We haven't even had a conversation yet. Relax" He said touching her hair softly. It made her feel sick. "What do you want? Sapphire asked. "Elisa told me what you did to her""And so?"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You might not know what will happen next"Sapphire scoffed and with all the energy in her body, flung his hand away. "What will you do? Try to kill me? Sorry but your lover already tried that and failed"Sapphire said with a sneer and she saw the man's eyes widen in surprise. "Elisa tried to get rid of you herself?"Why don't you ask your lover? She told you what I did to her huh? Why didn't she tell you what she did to me? You both better be careful unless you want your secret out in the open"He gasped at her in surprise and disbelief. So Elisa had tried to dispose of this bitch herself but yet her mouth was still as sharp as
"Good day everyone. I'm Lauren, Lance's wife. We held our wedding recently but I'm sure a majority of you aren't aware as it wasn't streamed or publicized. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I want to thank grandfather for this marvelous opportunity to serve the Clawson empire. Thank you grandfather"Grandfather gave a curt nod and a gentle smile. "I also want to thank my lovely mother in-law who made this possible. Your love for me is too much" Sapphire said with a sly tone and Elisa's veins threatened to pop out but she forced a smile. She simply waved. "I promise to do all within my power to make the Clawson fashion line indomitable and the one and only number one!The people applaused. A few impressed and a majority surprised. Esther was stunned and her blood boiled in anger. Why was she becoming part of the Clawson fashion department? Of all the departments, why fashion? What was that bitch planning? Pearl's high pitched scream attracted everyone's attention all of a sudden. "T
In a general room, Kathy helped clean Devon's wound while Pearl ranted on and on."That wretched woman! Who does she think she is? She thinks she can take over my department? Ohhhh. She's so wrong! I'll show her! I'll make her pay. I'll make mother pay as well! They'll regret the day they did this to me. Grandfather too!"Shut your gutter of a mouth young woman! Can't you see how you hurt your husband? Kathy snapped as she wiped Devon's face. "Ouch" Devon winced as her hand touched his swollen eye. Pearl gasped when her head was finally knocked back to reality. She rushed to where he was and held his face gently. "Oh my goodness. Dev babe, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, so so sorry" She planted kisses on his face and Kathy rolled her eyes. "Stop it Pearl. You should try to control your temper babe. I'm always telling you" Devon muttered and Pearl started crying. "Babe, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won't let my temper control me again. I was just so overwhelmed. I'm sorry" She hugged
Few days passed and it was time for Sapphire to resume as the head of the fashion store. She dressed up while Janet got her things ready. "I'm still very excited ma'am! Your things are ready""Alright. J, get dressed. The car will leave in five minutes""Me? "Yes you, you're coming with me""But ma'am, I…might be more of an obstruction. I'm sure you'll have a personal assistant at the store also. I'm just a maid"Sapphire sighed and snorted. "You're hired then. You'll be my personal assistant""What but ma'am…."Go get dressed, let's go! Janet didn't say a word again and simply dashed out to get dressed. Lance came out of the bathroom whistling and Sapphire raised a brow. "Aren't you a little too joyful today? What happened? Did someone you hate die? Sapphire scoffed. "Don't be small minded. An enemy dying isn't something to be happy about. Seeing them suffer in agony is much more pleasant" He said with a mischievous smile. Sapphire winced. What a sadist! She paused for a while
Lance sat still in the office as Ronald was busy running crazy. The project contract with the Chinese had crashed. Soon enough Steve's team had discovered it to be fake minutes ago. Christian who brought the project before the company board was literally crawling and rolling on the floor. The contract being fake wasn't as painful as the fact that Ronald had invested the entire money in millions into the project at once!Lance stifled the urge to smirk. He had baited him at the party that night and he had fallen for it woefully. He knew he would anyway. Lance had hired Mr Shin, an educated con man who handled the entire procedure. He had gotten a crew and everything under a fake name and a fake portfolio. After sealing the project, he had disappeared with all the money and Ronald had been made the fool. Just like they had planned. The signs of them being a fake company had been there especially when Ronald went to seal the contract but the deal had been so huge and Ronald was extre
The guy dropped a drunk Sapphire on the bed and she groaned. "Daddy…daddy come back" She said sleepily and the guy gave an obscene smile. "Your daddy's right here baby" He kissed down her neck and started touching her all over. He took off his shirt hurriedly and pulled down his pants. After which he zipped her dress down and took it off until she was just in her bra and undies. He was already feeling hard staring at such a sexy woman. He was about to take her bra off when he heard a knock on the door. "Who the fuck is that? He growled. The knock came again and he groaned. He went to get the door and was surprised to see a tall and extremely good looking man dressed in suit. "Is this room taken? The man asked in a deep baritone voice peering into the room and he frowned."Obviously! Are you blind? Fuck off! He made to close the door but the man held it open with his hands and forced his way in. He stared at the half naked woman on the bed. "What the hell…you looking for a fight
Lance walked in that moment. He had gone out jogging earlier. He noticed Sapphire was awake. Their eyes clocked and he looked away. She probably wouldn't remember what she said last night but it still made him uncomfortable and unsure of himself. Sapphire bit her lips as she stared at him. Why was he so quiet? Wasn't he going to say anything? She sighed. "J…Janet told me about yesterday…thank you" She said forcefully with a gulp and he looked at her. She noticed the look in his eyes were very different than usual. However he snorted. "Your alcohol tolerance is pretty low. What the hell were you thinking when you went drinking? Sapphire looked away in embarrassment. She had expected him to mock her but the tone in his voice was more embarrassing. Why was he talking like he cared?"Well, what I was thinking shouldn't be your concern""You were dead drunk and you ran off. Where the hell do you think I found you? You were almost raped. You know that? He snapped at her and her ears sto
At the Clawson's office building, Greg was busy collaborating with his team on how they would solve the crisis at hand. Steve, Fred and Elisa weren't left behind. He however excused himself from the meeting and went to the coffee room during lunch break when Lance walked in with a gentle smile. "Afternoon father"Greg scoffed. "You look rather smug these days, now don't you? Can't help grinning over your brother's failure huh?"Ronald's failure has actually placed the company in a bad spot. It's not something to celebrate. Unlike some people who are too busy fawning over the opportunity to be MD, I have better plans" "Tch. Are you telling me you don't want to be MD? I don't believe that. I know you Lance. I watched you grow so I know that's nothing but a lie" Lance smirked. "Watched me grow? Hmm. I always remembered being under surveillance by many eyes. Yours and mother's certainly weren't one of them. Either way it's not a lie. I'm really not interested. I've been too busy t
