Chapter 20

Meanwhile at The Thompsons Mansion

Addy had to make a couple of calls about the meetings he cancelled and booked it for the following day. He had threatened to expose the other party's secrets if he refuses to give him another chance. The other party had no choice than to agree.

After making the calls and arrangements for the next day, he called it a night. As he laid down, all he could think of was Eva, how she had to discipline them in her own way today, he couldn't help but smile and hope to keep seeing her.

The next morning, he woke up really early to get to work, because of the meeting he had set up late last night.

As he got to his office, he was informed that the other party is on their way up.

After the meeting which was successful, they had their usual morning meetings and everyone settled in their offices.

Leo was dying to know what happened at the dinner, and why Clara claimed to be his girlfriend.

Leo came into Addy's office and saw he was very busy.

"Would you like me to order your food from the cafeteria or take out? "Leo asked because he was going on a lunch break

"Take out and give me black coffee as well" Addy replied

Leo ordered the usual from the take out and told Ella to go get the coffee.

"You've got a wedding invitation by the President, the third weekend next month," Leo said

"Wait the president is getting married?" Addy said with a confused expression

"No dummy, his daughter is getting married"

"Well this dummy pays your salary"

"Oops sorry," Leo said mockingly

There was a knock on the door, it's Ella. She came back with the coffee and the ordered food, as she placed it on the table and excused herself.

As they were eating, Leo thought its the best time to ask about Clara

"Ermm, would you not gist me about what happened at the dinner, with Clara. My ears are itching to know what happened" he said excitedly

"Look at you, how old are you? that you love to gossip. Instead of you to look for a way to apologise to Lilian, you are here wagging your tail for gossips. Shame on you"

Leo was disappointed he couldn't get any information out of Addy, but he hasn't stopped thinking about ways to properly apologise to Lilian.

"Well we've got site seeing with them tomorrow, I would try to apologise again" Leo replied

Eva is trying to open a new branch in city Y, and she needs experts and professional realtors that have a very high reputation, that is why she chose Thompsons Realtors.

"Do you remember Dr Clara's appointment is also tomorrow and she wants you to handle her request personally" Leo continued

"You can assign her to Daniel's team, I will be in City Y tomorrow" Addy replied

He definitely would handle Eva's request personally and wouldn't allow anyone else do that. He instructed Leo to send an email, stating where they would meet tomorrow and the time in city Y.

After lunch, Leo went back to his office to send the email and added his own twigs.

In the email he sent, he said Eva would have to come to their office, so that the person in charge of showing her the site, would be the one to drive them around.

He was hoping to see Lilian the next day, that's one of the reasons he sent that email so that she won't have to leave the room again. At least, she can't get out a moving car.

Meanwhile at VEES BRANDS,

Eva has a meeting with a VIP, which is the president daughter Carrie. She has already been for the measurement and styles she wants, shes only coming in for the fitting and to see if there would be changes.

Eva was running late, but fortunately for her, there wasn't any traffic, which made it faster to get to work just before the President daughter arrived.

She had already organised a team to design and make the dress to suit Carrie's taste and body shape. She has already checked the dress to see if it is of the best standard to her company's reputations, and she was satisfied with the finishing, design and the outcome of the dress.

Carrie's mom and her best friend accompanied her for the dress fitting. As they entered the fitting room, they were greeted by Eva, the designer, the tailor and Lilian's assistant Gary.

In the centre of the room was a mannequin that was covered with huge curtains, to hid away the dress.

"Good morning Miss Carrie, how are you this morning?" Eva asked as she stretched out her hands to shake her

"I'm very nervous, to be honest, I don't know if the style will be good on me, what if I don't like it on me? what if it doesn't fit me" Carrie replied nervously

"Rest assured you will be fine, you are in good hands" Eva gave her a reassuring smile.

"Gary, can you reveal the beauty please?" Eva continued

Gary pressed a button on the remote control in his hands, and the curtains automatically divided to reveal a stunning and gorgeous dress which left everyone speechless.

The dress is made out of diamonds and rhinestones, which made it bling and shine brighter in the spotlight. The dress is a spaghetti strap mermaid dress with a deep plunge neckline and a low back which will make the person wearing the dress sexy.
