Chapter 25: Damsel in distress

Amani's heart was in turmoil as she walked with hurried steps towards Leonardo's receptionist, Camille who reluctantly released Fluffy as if she didn't want to let him go. It was when Amani entered her car and started the engine that she allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief.

After driving for a while...

"Now what next?" She worriedly asked herself. It was as if the gravity of her outburst just dawned on her and she remembered she would soon be jobless and homeless if she didn't manage to get the DeVille's interview. 

She clearly remembered Percy's last words to her...

'I know you're going to fuck this up, Amani. I could feel it... You're going to royally fuck this up and I'll be waiting to make sure this particular roach was whacked and smeared so bad there would be nothing left of it to scrape off my shoe... So enjoy your little victory while it lasts.'
