"What?John you mean she is your sister?"

"Yes she is my youngest sister, but it's a long story let's go before anyone sees us here especially me" John said as he pulled him away.

"John, why can't you look for her and tell her mehn, she will be happy to see you"

"You think so?she doesn't even know that l exist. She won't even believe me,Mike you know l trust you right?, Just take care of her for me. I will tell you everything when it's the right time. And something else don't tell her about me, l will tell her myself."

"Hello, is Paul in?tell him l want to see him" she greeted the secretary.

"Just a minutes boss Madam" she picked the intercom and talked to his boss. When he informed of her presence Paul told him to allow her to enter.

"I didn't know you have this strict rules when someone wants to see you" Ivana said as she entered his office.

"Wifey are you, your eyes are swollen have you been crying?" Paul stood to peck her on her cheeks.

"Do you know anything concerning the Luhyahood Company?" 

"No, why ask? Maybe knowing to whom it belongs to"he chuckled.

"I am not talking about that, she paused and looked at him before saying. "Do you know that your mum is the new CEO now?"

"What?, What do you mean my mother is the new CEO?, How, what happened l don't understand!" Confusionwas visible in his face.

"I am surprised and confused as you, l don't know. What l know is their is a document my dad and your mother signed. My dad had transferred all shares to your mother making her the new CEO when he dies"

"What?, when did these happen, l know my mother can not keep a secret from me, l need to ask her now,you should be the one taking over not her. He picked his phone to call when his phone rung in return.

"Talking of the devil,"he showed the phone screen to her. "Pick the call". He received the call and put it on a loud speaker.

"Hello son, are you busy, l need you to attend the party in Village in resort" she said happily.

"A Party? Why party mum,what happened?"

"You seem you are not happy with my achievement, are you coming or not"

"Mum it not that way, l  will....tot.. tot..tot" she hung up on him.

"She just hung up on me" sigh.

"What now?" She raised her one brow.

He run his fingers in his hair," Wifey l really don't know, Take them to court, l will help you with the case and all the charges"

"Really? are you going to go against your mother. Anyway according to documents presented by her. Everything is legal, so l wi still lose it to her. Secondly l am not ready for the publicity. Third l don't have any evidence to start of the case. The lawyer l was counting on is no where to be found"

"So, are you really going to give up, because of the presented documents? What if they are sham papers? Anyway l will follow what you want.

"What did you just say, sham papers? hubby do you know something that l don't know?"

"I was just saying Wifey, don't dwell of that. He tried to change the flow of the story. He was not ready to explain something he have no full information yet.

"You know what l don't understand, is Mum's happiness. She sounds like someone who have been expecting it."

My uncle was also interested in the CEO position so l knew l will be in the safe side. Only to be disappointed. Anyway l am happy for her.
