After leaving the park and boarding a taxi, Kiandra finally had the chance to examine her daughter for any injuries. To her relief, apart from Zendaya’s clothes which were soiled in the sand, there were no injuries sustained.Her daughter had a low immunity which meant that it wouldn't have been pleasant if she had sustained a cut which got infected.“I was only gone for ten minutes, so what happened?” She inquired from her daughter. It was still baffling to her as to how Zendaya ended up in Lucas' hold especially considering the fact that Zendaya didn't like to associate herself with strangers.Zendaya didn’t answer her mother’s question. Instead, she crossed her hands and with a frown on her face, she said. “I don’t like Jayden,” she pouted.“The young boy?” Kiandra probed and Zendaya nodded. “Do you want to tell me what he did?”“No.” Zendaya shook her head and Kiandra decided not to push it as she didn’t want her daughter to get further upset. The rest of the ride was silent until

Kiandra turned and left as she didn’t want to be further humiliated. When she got outside the man's office, she saw all the employees who were present giving her a sad look.It seemed they had heard everything that had happened in there and this only added to Kiandra's humiliation. Deciding not to pay any attention to their looks, she held her head high as she walked away from them to the elevator.As soon as she left the building, she immediately brought out her phone and called Samantha as she needed someone to vent to.“Are you that free that you have time to call me twenty minutes after you resumed?” Samantha asked jovially after she answered the call.“I got fired,” Kiandra told Samantha. If she didn't, the latter would have spent minutes urging Kiandra to tell her about her experience and this would only add to Kiandra's already sore wound.“What?!” Samantha screamed in school. “How?” she demanded an explanation, to which Kiandra didn’t hesitate to give.“Why is that bastard he

When she finally turned, she saw that he had gotten up from his seat. He took a long stride to her and reached where she was standing a few seconds later.“Why would you offer me a job, and what in the world makes you think that I would accept your job offer?” Kiandra probed wanting to know just what was going on inside that head of his.“Well, to your first question, the answer is because I am in the mood to do a good deed,” Lucas answered but the look Kiandra gave him made him know that she knew he was lying.“And secondly,” he continued moving a step closer to Kiandra which made her move backwards as he invaded her personal space. “If you don’t accept my job offer, I’ll make sure you don’t get a job anywhere else,” he said with a smile on his face and somehow, Kiandra knew he would do what he said.“Why are you offering me a job?” she asked once again.“Because it’s best to keep your enemies close to you. You have an issue with me and it’s not because of my actions in the past two

Zendaya's little smile made Lucas smile as well, and he felt his heart being tugged with happiness. He wondered why he felt so happy just seeing the little girl smile.A lot of children had smiled at him but they didn't have the same effect as the one the little girl was giving him. They only annoyed him.He was distracted when the door to the room opened and Kiandra came out. Like a spell being broken, the smile dropped from his face as he turned to look at Kiandra who had purposely taken her time even though she knew that he was waiting for her.Her eyes fell on Lucas and then on Zendaya and when she saw what was in her daughter's hand, her face contorted into a deep frown. “Zendaya, what did I tell you about eating chocolate before breakfast?” she scolded her daughter as she walked over there Zendaya, who had already expected Kiandra's reaction, gave her mother an innocent smile and she was quick to point at Lucas, pushing all the blame to him. Kiandra quickly collected the choc

Kiandra a was taken to Zendaya’s daycare by Lucas’ driver. On the way there, she called Samantha and asked if she could take care of Zendaya until Lucas finally let her return home.Samantha didn’t waste any time in agreeing, as she looked forward to spending time with Zendaya.The hardest part of it all was having to explain to Zendaya that she would be staying with Samantha and that it wouldn’t be the last time this was happening, all thanks to Lucas.Zendaya didn’t like what her mother told her, and she made it evident by crossing her arms and ignoring her mother on their ride back home.Kiandra was used to Zendaya’s tantrums, and so it did not faze her in the slightest. By tomorrow, all of Zendaya’s anger would have evaporated.Samantha was already waiting for them at home, and so Kiandra dropped her off and went back to the office.As soon as she got back, she went to Lucas’ office, so he would know that she was back. It was already evening, and so almost all the employees had l
