Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien dipped his head down to her face with a smug smile on his lips, his eyes lingered on her lips for a second before travelling back to meet her glowing eyes..

“Has anyone ever told you how bad you are at lying?”

The door opened slowly as two figures peeked into the room, Sandy’s eyes grew large at the sight before her..

“Cute” She murmured to receive a soft glare from Bianca…

“Shhh”

Damien’s expression turned serious once more “I meant every word I said earlier.. I hope you think about it”

He backed away from her and picked up his suit jacket resting next to her on the bed..

“I’ll take my leave now.. and you’re welcome”

Olivia sneered, “I didn’t say thank you and I’m not gonna say it”

“But you just did” He argued with a grin..

Sandy and Bianca scurried away from the corridor on seeing Damien approaching them..

The weird silence in the atmosphere caused a line of worry on Olivia’s face, she was currently seated in front of Bianca and her mum who were giving her the teasing look..

“Okay.. will one of you talk or should I force you?”

She asked impatiently with a raised brow, it was obvious from the way that they looked at her that they both had the same question running through their minds..

“Well.. we were gone for quite sometime and we were only wondering what really happened in there? I mean.. you know what I mean!”

Olivia’s spoon dropped harshly into her bowl of cereal..

“Nothing happened okay? and hey! you both better not get any weird thoughts into your head.. that jerk just wanted to make me more sick”

Bianca giggled softly, from the few seconds they were able to peep into the room, they already made up their own scenario in their minds..

“Well what did he say? I don’t find anything wrong with him.. infact he cooked for you! I wasn’t really expecting that?”

Olivia rolled her eyes, well he cooked alright, but it wasn’t that nice.. she argued with her head..

“Can you imagine? he asked me to move into one of his houses with Kelvin-

“Well do it!” They both said in unison startling Olivia before she could finish up her speech..

“What?” she uttered in surprise, a little bit confused about their behavior today, and when did Bianca join her mum’s team?

Sandy touched Olivia’s hands resting on the table with a sigh..

“You should go.. I think he wants more than just being Kelvin’s dad”

Olivia retracted her hand with an indifferent expression on her face..

“Eww.. no mum!”

“Don’t you get what you’re trying to do to yourself and Kelvin? he called his engagement off just for you and Kelvin’s sake.. do you know even stop to think about how hard this might have been for him?” Bianca tried to reason..

Olivia moved her chair backwards and stood up swiftly..

“Just like he made his decision.. I’ve also made mine, and besides that, I don’t trust that family one bit!”

She turned around and left for her room stomping her feet against the staircase with each step she took..

“Okay! maybe it’s time we take matters into our own hands!” Bianca seconded which Sandy openly agreed to immediately..

It was time to straighten her arrogant daughter to the right tracks..

“I’ll go have a chat with Anita Sterling”

Becky pulled back the lady who crashed into her and thought it was okay to just walk away without apologizing to her..

“Don’t touch me!” Rihanna screamed out in arrogance..

Becky snapped a brow at her outburst, she immediately recognized the lady, wasn’t she the supposed young lady of the Brown’s?

“Oh! it’s you..”

Rihanna folded her arm beneath her bossom, she really wasn’t ready to argue with anyone..

“Who the hell are you?!”

Alexa approached the two who were arguing a little distance away from her, when she got nearer her mood changed from a being slightly angry to being mad..

“What is going on here?” she questioned making direct eye contact with Becky..

“Your friend bumped into me and now she’s being a b*tch to apologize!”

Rihanna’s eyes rounded, she took a step forward to Becky only to be pulled back by Alexa, this was a public place and it would be very bad for their reputation..

“Just let it go Rihanna! what’s the use of staining your name all because of a fatty like her?”

Rihanna’s brows arched, she wondered if Alexa really knew that this lady was curvy and graceful? and somewhat familiar too..

“You really have nothing to use against me now.. that’s the reason you’re still calling me by that name.. aren’t you afraid of being called a fool?” she murmured with a smirk before walking away..

“Hey!” Alexa screamed out diverting the attention of passers by to herself..

She badly wanted to claw that pretty face of Becky’s with her fingers badly..

Bella tailed behind Damien who was walking in large strides towards the elevator leading to his office..

“Boss.. by eleven we have a meeting with the Japanese clients and by twelve we have to be at the site where our new branch is being built.. there’s a little problem over there..”

Damien hummed in reply but he had a feeling that she wasn’t done yet with his tight schedule for today..

“And?” he murmured walking into the elevator with his hands in his pockets..

“you have to be at Chicago for the conference meeting which is in two days.. since Mrs Parker is on a week’s leave.. I might have to take her spot and accompany you over there”

The elevator was quiet for a while before it opened, he stepped out and immediately all his employees stood up and greeted in unison as he passed by their cubicle..

“Get every documents i need ready for the meeting at Chicago and also make the necessary requirements..”

Bella’s grin widened, she was glad that Olivia was not the one to go along with their boss to this conference meeting.

“Alright boss.. and lastly, there’s someone waiting for you in your office”

Damien’s brows furrowed, he wasn’t expecting anyone or perhaps it was Rihanna or probably Xander..

“Hmm”

He hummed and walked away heading to his office, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open..

He stepped in with a small crease on his forehead as he stared at his seat rocking back and forth and also facing the large floor to ceiling window overlooking the city..

He wondered who it was that could sit on his seat nonchalantly without a worry in the world, well Olivia once did that.. but she was currently not at work..

“I see you’ve been doing well to even call me or text me..”

The chair turned to reveal a lady smiling from ear to ear, Damien raised a brow… feeling a bit lost, he recognized that forever chirpy voice from somewhere..

“What’s up big bro?” she commented with a wide grin on her lips..

Damien was left speechless, as Becky stood up gracefully from his seat, she walked elegantly to him with a teasing grin..

“Becky?”

Becky placed both hands on her hips with a nod “Yeah right!”

She suddenly jumped into his embrace startling him, heavens knew how much she had missed this cousin of her’s..

When others ridiculed her, he was always the one who defended her.. he fought many boys who laughed at her for her size, all in all he was her favorite person..

“I missed you so much bro..”

Damien wrapped his hands gently around her, he couldn’t believe that she was the same teenage girl who was once bullied for being too fat…

“I’m speechless”

Bella opened the door without knocking and was left puzzled by the scene going on in front of her, she wondered who this new lady was and why she was clutching onto Damien that way..

In a dimly lit storage room, a long bearded man stood next to an old wooden door counting the new bills in his hand..

“This is just half of the money we bargained” his hoarse voice came out impatiently staring at the two ladies in front of him..

Alexa glared at him “Well yeah! the other half will be paid when the job is done.. I’ll send you an invitation card tomorrow afternoon”

Rihanna looked around her surroundings, she wondered how Alexa got got to know of a place like this..

“And hey! you can’t come into a party of an elite with that irky beard of yours!”

The man stroked his chest length beard with a snort..

“I’m sorry ma’am but this will do.. I can’t cut my identity.. they call me long beard around here”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Alexa looked around the room and her eyes settled on a scissors sitting idly on an old table infested by termites..

She walked to the table and picked up the scissors, she returned back to them and before long beard could tell what was going on.. his beard was cut off to his jaws length..

“There goes your identity” She murmured with a loud huff wiping her fingers with a neat napkin..

Rihanna muffled her laughter at the sour face of the huge man..

“Don’t forget! her name is Olivia Parker!”
