Diego was putting finishing touches to his suit when the for suddenly opens and his aide, Olivia walks in. He shook his head. "I've told you countless times to knock before entering. What if I was naked or in the middle of something?"Olivia rolled her eyes. "that's why you have a secret room, for you do dress up and do whatever you think I shouldn't see." She ran her hand over his black jacket and then pulled it off of him. "Take that off and put on the grey one."He frowned and took his clothes off, donning the grey suit."Hurry. I have news.""So tell me. I'm sure you have the ability to make it interesting."Olivia smiled, but then continued. "The Fuegos Elementary Career Project's draft project is as follows. Check out proposition A if you merely want to keep your dignity intact, but proposal B if you want to put out some effort. I myself would like to suggest option A." She said, placing two files in front of him."We'll go with option B, and I'll discuss it with Amelia."He fel

Lilah immediately left the device and rushed back to where she was sitting. Holding her hand, she tried her beat to shake off her fear and panic. She was almost caught again. She needs to be very careful.Xavier gave her the first aid box and a wet towel. "thank you." she said and took it. Moments later, Maria came in and told her they could leave now that she was done talking with her father. The excitement and joy Maria was feeling showed on her face.Li-lah drove Maria back to her house. "I'm so excited." Maria said as she stepped out of the car. "my father complimented me for the first time In a long while. And said that I have potential in the things I do.""I'm sure your father is really proud of you." Li-lah said. "did he agree to give you the work you wanted?" "He said hell let me know on my birthday. I'm positive he'll accept.""Alright." Li-lah said."Hey! It's my husband." Maria said when she noticed a car coming her way."Oh wow. There he is." Li-lah said and the car s

Diego had another meeting to attend so he had to leave before the party ended."Thank you for showing up Mr Diego." Maria said warmly, "We will see you next week.""Thank you for inviting me." "Li-lah? Why don't you see him off, I have to go retouch my make up." Maria said. That was a white lie. She had seen the look of interest on his face whenever he looked at Li-lah. She knew he was attracted to her and she wanted the two of them to be alone in private. " Alright Maria. " Li-lah said, "I'll take care of him. ""Thanks Li-lah. " Maria replied, "I will see you soon.""See you soon!" Li-lah called out to her.Li-lah walked with Diego to the exit. Once they were alone, they stood facing each other.Li-lah bowed lightly to show her appreciation. "Thank you so much from showing up Mr Diego. I know busy..... She stopped talking when she saw him raise his right hand to acknowledge her courtesy." Can you stop with the official attitude? We've known each other for a long time even thoug

"Wow! You're so good at this and you have a great body too." Maria's dance partner complimented her much to the displeasure of Julia and Natalia."Oh no! Don't flatter me." Maria rolled her eyes."But it's true. Don't you think so Li-lah?" Li-lah said nothing. She only gave a small smile. "Given her talent, I think she should come to club titans." He spoke further. Li-lah shook her head. "I don't think she would want to come." she said."What's club titan?" Natalia asked. "it's a club specifically for bachata dancers." Li-lah explained."That's actually a pretty good idea. She should come." Natalia added."You guys should come too." Julia said referring to all their male partners. "Do you want to come?" Li-lah asked. "I'll book a VIP spot for us.""erm, I don't know if.... " Come on, it'll be fun. Let's go in the day of your wedding anniversary. Take it as a special gift from me to you. " Li-lah said, sounding coy.Everyone concurred to the plan and thought it was a great idea.

Maria sat down patiently waiting for the others to come but they were taking longer than expected. She glanced at the wall clock, it was some minute past two. There was still time, she could wait. 3pm and there was still no sign of them. What could be keeping them? Maria wondered looking back at the phone in her hands at the time. 5pm. Still no sign of them. Maria began to feel uneasy. Why hadn't she heard from them? When it clocked seven o'clock and there wasn't anyone else, she then knew Julia and Natalia might have played her. She held tightly to her gown, clenching her teeth in a bid to keep her emotions in check. She was angry, disappointed, frustrated, pissed off, but most of all, she felt powerless and out of control. How dare they do this to her? And on her anniversary too. She felt like breaking something but this wasn't her house, it was Li-lah's studio. She inhaled and exhaled slowly and soothed herself. "dammit!" she exclaimed finally losing control. She wasn't going
