Pacing up and down in her lavishly decorated room, Tasha couldn't seem to get the hang of what she just heard. Her normally composed and haughty demeanor was replaced by ravaging beast with a mix anger and entitlement.Looking up, she glared at the maid, Helen, her voice dripping with condescension. "When did you hear all this, Helen?Helen, a middle-aged woman with a weathered face, looked at Tasha's beautiful but distorted face, her eyes avoiding direct contact. She bowed her head, a gesture of submission. "Young Miss, I overheard the conversation while cleaning the room next to the study. I didn't mean to intrude."Tasha's voice rose hysterically, her entitlement and manipulative nature taking center stage. "How dare she! She's only been back for what? Two days? And now grandpa wants her to take over the company? This is unacceptable!"Helen's hands trembled slightly, but she maintained her composure. She knew better than to engage in a confrontation with Tasha. Instead, she chos

The guard patiently waited by the car, his gaze watchful as the two women made their way towards the entrance.Lillian gracefully ascended the steps and walked into the condo, with Nancy trailing close behind. The foyer was adorned with exquisite artwork and a grand chandelier that cast an elegant glow over the space.Walking further into the condo, Lillian came face to face with a woman who seemed to be in her forties. She was meticulously cleaning the plush couch, her focused expression softening as she noticed the unexpected visitors.The clinking of heels alerted the woman cleaning. "Who are you?" Lillian inquired, her tone polite but assertive."Good day ma, My name is Caroline. I've been working here for two years now," Caroline greeted with a warm smile, her eyes reflecting genuine hospitality."Alright, I'll be in my room," Lillian replied, her voice composed as she began to
Can you get something to wear?" Lillian asked her ears red from embarrassment."Why, like what you see? Or are you affected?" He asked winking."Whatever can you just put something on?" Lillian asked not acknowledging his question."Alrt, I'll be right back." He left her and went to to the closet.Few minutes later he came out the closet dressed in a grey pant and black Tee. Be looked casual yet breathtaking."How was your your visit home?" Adrian asked trying make himself comfortable on the bed."Good, grandpa was really excited to see me."Lillian said smiling as she talk about the old man."Hmm, that was expected." He said briefly.After some minutes of silence, Lillian said."I'll be resuming head office on Monday, grandfather decided already"" That was fast" Adrian didn't seem too happy by the development, he knew how hungry extended family could get and he knew the danger Lillian is being exposed to. Lillian knew what he was thinking she shook her head and held his face in her
No one told Lillian where they were going for dinner, so she was stunned by the scenery.Adrian came down and posed for Lillian to take his hand. She took his hand and they walked elegantly in to the beautiful restaurant. Entering the restaurant, the place was cozy and filled with neon light, the whole place gave out classy and rich vibe.Lillian was mesmerized by the captivating view the beautiful transparent glasses glistening in the dark of the night. Seats where arranged, in place of four people she thought she was meeting only one of Adrian's friend. That doesn't seem like the case.Adrian pushed out a seat for Lillian who sat down gracefully."Won't you tell me who's coming" Lillian asked, curious but she didn't let it show."Can wait to find out, huh?" He smirked knowing fully well he made her curious she just wasn't showing it.In the next minute someone was ushered in, Lillian was seated backing the door, so she definitely could not see the door.--No one told Lillian where

"Last time I checked you guys didn't even want to hear each others name""Things happen" Lillian said and shrugged."They really do" Tyler muttered still in shock as he took a seat beside Adrian. Adrian, "I'll pour you wine, since am in a good mood today" "Cheers to you guys" Tyler raised his wine poured by Adrian still shocked tho"Cheers" both Lillian and Adrian said. After taking a sip Tyler looked at the empty seat beside him. "Still expecting someone?" Lillian looked at Adrian, waiting for an answer. She couldn't get him to say who was coming. "Why don't you take a guess" Adrian said and smirked. Tyler, "I'm definitely not doing that with you." Just then the door clicked open followed by clicks of heels. -- Sarah entered the restaurant awed by the settings, she definitely didn't expect anything less than luxury. But this was at an extreme.

Faced with the death glare from the ruthless lady, Mark's adrenaline rushed, he felt goosebumps on his skin, the boss lady is so mad right now because they had lost a contract worth hundreds of millions to their competitor the De LUCA company. "And why the hell are you looking so lost," Lillian asked, coldness apparent in her voice. "I'm sorry Ma'am, I'll ensure this does not happen again," Mark said in a very serious tone. After 10 minutes of silence. Mark looked at Lillian only to find her blowing on her nails, only if one could wake up to this sight every day, there was no doubt why she is called the beautiful beast in the business world. "Set up a meeting with the DE LUCA company" Lillian's beautiful voice rang out jolting Mark from his reverie. "What!!! Ma'am, did I hear you right Ma'am? " Mark stuttered "Do not make me repeat myself," Lillian answered coldly. "Yes, Ma I'll set it up right away, excuse me." Mark scurried out of the office. Lillian stood up and went aroun
