Stretching, Sky opened her eyes...scanning the environment she sat up straight immediately..... "Woh, I must have dozed off, what time is it?"
" It's 8:00pm ma'am." Dwayne answered her.
"Why didn't you wake me up, Where are we?You should have woke me up the moment we got to my place. Have you been sitting here waiting for me to wake up?"
"You looked stressed ma'am and you seemed to be enjoying your rest so I didn't want to disturb you.. I've only been here 30 minutes."
"Sorry about that, opening the car door, she asked...would you like to come in for tea or snacks? I can't offer you more except you help your self out...I'm too tired."
"It's Ok ma'am, you need to rest, I'll go in some other time. Goodnight ma'am" He said.
Dwayne watched his boss walk to her front door. "coward" His inner voice said to him. "Hey that's not how to do things, if I'm going to kiss her it's going to be mutual, I don't want a stolen kiss...." Dwayne said out loud. He sighed, started his car and drove off.
After taking her bathe, Sky made some important calls for an hour before she ate and slept. She woke up in the middle of the night craving banana, there was no banana in the house, checking everywhere she couldn't find one...She decided to eat cornflakes.
Sky couldn't reach the cornflakes. Anton arranged the kitchen last, so he must have kept it there. Climbing a chair...she reached for the flakes. She missed her footing and the chair began to shake. Luckily for her, she was able to stop the chair from falling. She came down with shaky legs. "Phew ....she said, that was close, I can't be that careless next time. That means no cornflakes for me tonight." Sky walked out of the kitchen to her room.
She couldn't sleep after that, she kept tossing and tossing.....towards 5:00am, she finally dozed off. Minutes later, Jenna call woke her up.
"Good morning sist, sorry for waking you up but, He called me again last night and he said you messed things up and that he's giving me a chance to come to his suite by noon today to fix it, that he can still call the school back.....sist what should I do?"
"Jenna calm down, don't worry about him. I'll take care of him....just relax. What food do you guys have at home?" Sky asked her sister.
"🤒.... sist, is food important now? I'm talking about my future." Jenna said.
"Food is life love and remember you are talking to a pregnant woman."
"Ok sist sorry, Mom made that local rice you love last night."
" Ok thanks dear. Don't worry about Mr Basil, before the end of the day, he will be begging to see me."
" Ok sist, I trust you....byeee".
Sky quickly ran to the bathroom, she'll have to stop by her mom's place before work. But she has to eat, if not she might fall sick plus her baby needs food. She thought of how she was going to explain her car to her mom, Sky had two important meetings with some CEO's today so she'll have to take the demon to work, Chiamanda will have to help with her make up.
By 6:00am Sky was already at her mom's place. She saw her grandma outside strolling. "Grams" she shouted as she ran to hug her grandma.
"What are you doing here this early? dont you have work to do?..."grams held her face in her hands and looked at her. "You are not sleeping well my baby, your face is thin, are you eating at all? You have to take care of the little one...she said pointing her stomach."
"That's why I'm here grams....I'm here to eat mom's food. I've been having a hard time sleeping lately."
"You should take care of yourself more. Come by after work...I think I have something that can help."
" Thank you ma." Sky said smiling brightly.
"Grams is mom up?"
" You know your mom, she's been up since five, I think she is in the kitchen cleaning or preparing something." Remembering something, she continued" Oh, oh, less I forget....your little sister has changed, she doesn't go to parties anymore and cover her body more these days, I just pray it last."
"Don't worry grams. it will last."
Everyone was surprise to see Sky but, the tension was gone and they all treated her like a baby cause of her pregnancy ...she ate to her heart content before she left and even packed some for work. Mavis even gave her his favourite candy bar. Jenna had showed her a video Mr Basil sent to her. He tempered with the footage in his house, and he made it look like Jenna went there by herself to steal and that she smoked alot, almost burning the house with a matchstick. He had captured all the moments Jenna was alone, arranging the living room for the party, microwaving the snacks, grabbing tissue from the guest room. And sleeping in the room her friend said was hers while she slept in another room with her boyfriend.
Sky smiled as she drove to work, the bastard would have gotten the news by now. Sky had parked the demon, two houses from her mom's house to prevent any question.
Mr Basil's house.
"You have to stop smoking honey, you've been smoking since you received that news. Please calm down..." Mr Basil's wife said to him.
"Shut your mouth woman, you don't know anything... Jaydite is my biggest client, they are the reason why we are still open, the other big clients we have are also because of Jaydite. Now they have stopped us from supplying them...do you know what that means? How dare you try to tell me what to do!" He barked
His phone rang, picking the call, he barked into the phone..."WHAT! what do you mean other companies are pulling out, and what do you mean by there's a video going viral...This is not happening. Just who is doing this?"
Pass me my laptop, he said rudely to his wife, and give me some privacy. All his work site has been hacked with the video, it was a video of him and a little girl in a hotel, it was Chizzy, the 16 years old who wanted him to help her with admission. "Shit "he said ... he punched a number in his phone and dialled it. "You better fix this or I'll bring you down with me."
"Sir we've been trying, his assistant replied him. We even hired a programmer from outside but this hacker is really good. No one can actually crack it. But we've been able to get a letter....it keeps popping up each time we try to crack it ..what does letter J. mean to you sir?"
"How the hell am I suppose to know...fix it you moron and stop asking me silly questions."
I apologize for not posting any chapter yesterday. I will make up for it. I am very busy with work, I have a target to meet, so please bear with me. Things will be back to normal by next week. I just need a few more days but I will try to post when I can. Thanks
