8:30 am At Des-Excel

I have to see your boss, it's important. Is like you don't get it you know? I and my friend worked our asses for this firm and I ain't leaving until I get our pay. Margaret was yelling and a security guard came holding her trying to push her away from the premise but she held herself firmly. Ma, I have told you countless times Mr. Desmond doesn't want to see you the receptionist said.

At that moment, Desmond came in and he beckoned on the security guard it's okay, I will handle it from here. Good day, Miss Margaret.
Really? A good day that's all you got I thought you should have had more Boss Desmond. After all, you can fire your workers without giving them their paycheck and any official reason Margaret spoke with a stern look

I think it will be better if we have this conversation in my office Desmond said as he walked to his office and Margaret followed suit. Margaret pulled out a chair to seat. I don't think there will be any need for that, because this conversation is going to be brief and clear Desmond spoke. I'm sure you did see the photos of your cheat lying cunt friend of yours, right? Margaret was annoyed by those words. Nobody had the right to speak about Tracy in that manner. She replied in an angry tone, Desmond or whatever you call yourself you may feel like a god because you were opportune to be born into a wealthy family but watch the words you use to describe my friend because you don't know what I'm capable of.

Wow! Bravo Desmond claps his hands. They do say birds of a feather flocks together so I am not surprised. Tell me you don't know Tracy was frolicking with Paul behind my back? for you, both were together all through the tour. Margaret kept mute she wanted to yell at him "my friend is no cheat, she got values" but she knew yelling may ruin her plan that's already working though not in a way she did expect.
Now, I know why she encouraged me to leave the tour when my father called me for an urgent board meeting in his company and advised me to attend the meeting. And innocent me thought my girlfriend just wanted the best relationship between me and my father.

Well, Margaret, there is no pay for you and Tracy considers it has a token of goodwill. The luxuries, free food, and accommodation you gold-digging poor girls enjoyed during the tour is more than enough pay. If you and Tracy try to come near me or any of my assets I will surely showcase your friend's sexy photos to the whole world. Hearing these words Margaret was relieved that her actions were a good decision because all she could see in front of her is a monster in the shape of a man.
You know this won't end like this, there is always nemesis, just keep to your end of the deal and don't release her photos or I will come and hunt you. Margaret spoke as she walks out of his office and bashes the door.

Olive Avenue 9 am

Tracy isn't an obedient dove waiting for mama's return as she was already at Paul's home. She rang the doorbell and a young girl in the early '20s responded. Good day, please I'm looking for Paul, was told he resides here. Yeah, that's right, please who are you miss?
My name is Tracy and I'm Paul's coworker. Oops, my brother is not around the girl responded. He traveled to Ghana yesterday. Tracy was shocked Huh! really? Yes, she responded. I'm sorry if you are his girlfriend or you guys were involved in a romantic relationship my brother is a pro flirt and though I'm his sister I always advise ladies to stay away from him because I won't love to be treated the way he treats ladies.

We weren't that Tracy said with a fake smile. Please, can I have his contact? He didn't give me and my family any contact he just said when he is fully settled in Ghana he will give us a call the young girl responded. Oh! Thank you, can I have your contact to keep in touch so that I can be reaching you from time to time to know when he calls? Tracy asked. I am sorry miss, but I can't give you my contact. It's okay, no problem Tracy said as she walks away with lots of thoughts in her head.

It was 10:30 am when Margaret got home and she realized Tracy wasn't around. She prayed, her friend hasn't gone to make any stupid move as she picked up her phone and call her. Hello girl, I can see you left home. May I know where went you?
I went to see Paul but the bastard wasn't at home Tracy replied. Oh, mine! What's wrong with you girl? I told you to do nothing till I get back, Margaret replied. You don't expect me to wait for you like a little baby or do you? Tracy spoke.
Alright, don't just go to Desmond's place cause I already paid him a visit and it wasn't nice, please just come home and let us sort this issue in the best possible way, Margaret said. Alright, mum, I am on my way home, no fear Tracy said. Margaret giggled silly girl I'm waiting for you as she ends the call.

Margaret dialed Tricia's number and she answered after 34 times of her not answering her calls. I think I ought to say hallelujah and give thanksgiving for you finally answered my call.
Well, you are a great pain in the ass 34missed calls and 16 messages. Like what's wrong with you? Tricia replied
Margaret was offended by those words and she replied. Really what's wrong with me? Two weeks back we were dining at the same table planning my friend's break up with Desmond and two weeks after you have Desmond as your fiancé. I know you helped Paul to disappear and surely it involved money. So I want my pay too bitch.

Hahahaha Tricia laughed, pay? really? It was your idea to ruin your friend's relationship and desperate me accepted, the deal was to pay Paul and not you. And don't think of blackmailing me or I will tell your friend that her best friend and self-acclaimed foster sister is a lesbian who is in love with her.
Margaret spoke, you don't know anything about my sexuality so shut up. Yes, ma I will Tricia replied but don't dare to contact me ever. Hmmm, I surely won't a baby girl but I see you begging to contact me soon Margaret said in an angry tone and ended the call.

Minutes later Tracy arrived and she told Margaret about her ordeal looking for Paul. His own sister told me he is a great philanderer, just imagine it Tracy said. Margaret replied I told you Desmond planned it all, he was all his idea right from the onset to use us for his company without pay, Dude never loved you. I had to record my conversation with him so that you can see the beast he really is.

After listening to the recording tears pour down from Tracy's eyes down to her cheek. You could have defended me more Margaret, you could have yelled at him and just do something crazy.
Yeah right? Like destroying everything in his office and getting myself locked up in a police cell? Margaret asked. And you coming to defend me and end up getting yourself locked up too? It's no good the world is run by the rich there is nothing we can do. There is going to be payback when the time is right my dear but not now, Margaret said as she consoled crying, Tracy.

ADAM'S MANSION

Tricia was walking about in her room that she didn't notice when her mum came in. Some hours back, Margaret has sent her recording of how she, Paul and herself planned to set up Tracy with a message. My friend may not forgive me but imagine what's going to happen if this recording goes to the public. What will Desmond do to you? Your little relationship will certainly end but you know how Desmond is when he is angry right? How will you be able to face your social class of friends? Think about the shame you will bring to your family and how the society will look at you. I'm nobody and I only got one person to face which is Tracy but you have the whole world, think about it, my dear.

Tricia! Her mum called for the third time. Is everything okay? Yes, mummy just having a thought about work, but it's nothing serious. Okay if you say so Mrs. Adams replied, I just came to tell you that dinner is served.
Alright, thanks, mum I'm coming right away. Tricia looks at the mirror and tries to conceal her emotions for she doesn't want her family to be suspicious of anything.
