《Babysitter For The CEO.》


 Chapter 1

    Vanessa a slightly tall blonde lady took one more look at her apartment before rushing down the stairs.


    Getting down stairs she could se the busy road and people.


    "Vanessa, you can do it" she encourages herself.


    She looked at her purse.


    The money in it isn''t enough to take a taxi. Well then, she''d just go to her destination on foot.


    Vanessa just turned 24 this month still single and unemployed.


    She had been fired two weeks ago from the restaurant where she formerly worked because she had upset a rich customer by accideent.


    Since then she''s searched for a job and finally found one as a cleaner in a small company.


    She was going for the interview today by 9:20 am.


    It''s currently 8:20 am so she still has an hour left to get there.


    She pats the creases on her white gown and sighs again.


    She starts her journey admiring some things that she sees on the way.


    30 minutes later,


    Vanessa decided to cross over to the other side of the road since her destination was on that side.


    Yes, she can cross now.


    With that, she began to cross but halfway she was nearly hit by a car that transgressed the rules.


    The driver didn''t even stop to say "sorry" before speeding off.


    "Damn it!" she cursed.


    "These rich people have manners. Just because they are rich they think they can do anything. May heavens punish that devil" she said as she completed her crossing.


    It''s good she didn''t wear high heels today or else it would have been a different story.


    She looked at her watch and saw there was 26 minutes left so she began to jog hoping to get there faster.


    When she was about to make a turn, she collided with a little girl.


    Both fell down and the little girl started weeping.


    She wasn''t good with handling kids so she could only ask:


    "Where are your parents? How could they leave you alone?" she asked.


    The little girl got up from the ground and hugged Vanessa''s legs.


    "Mama,you''re back" the little girl muttered.


    "Mama, carry me. Lisa wants a hug"the little girl said.


    Vanessa stared at those big eyes of the little girl.


    "Damn it! Why does she have to be so cute? And why is she calling me mother?"Vanessa pondered.


    "Alright then!I''ll carry you. Where are your parents?" she asked as she lifted the little girl who could be no more than 4 years old up.


    "My daddy is bad. Lisa don''t like him. Lisa run away. Lisa lost. Mammy carries Lisa"the little girl replied.


    Man!She''s running late but then,she also needs to deliver this little guy here to her home.


    "Mammy, Lisa hungry"the little girl said softly as she rubbed her tummy.


    Vanessa sighed.


    "Fine then, I''ll feed you," she said to the little girl.


    "Yay! Mama is the best. Lisa love Mama" Lisa exclaimed happily and kissed Vanessa''s cheek.


    Vanessa looked at her and smiled.


    "Let''s go eat" she muttered as she walked further into a restaurant. The very one she worked at formerly.


    She saw some of her workmates stare at her in pity while some laughed at her.


    "What would you like to eat?" a slim lady walked to her dressed in the same white gown as Vanessa''s.


    "Yes, anything. Lisa loves Mama" the little girl said cheerfully.


    "Oh, and who''s this pretty one?" the slim lady asked.

 Chapter 2

    "Lisa Mama"the little girl replied before Vanessa could even speak.


    "You are her mother. To think you already opened your legs to a man 4 years ago. I admire you. Who''s the father?" the lady asked again as she pinched Lisa''s cheeks.


    "So soft," the lady thought in admiration.


    "You are bad. Lisa hate you" said Lisa as she hugged Vanessa tighter.


    "Mara, just get us what we ordered, "Vanessa said impatiently.


    "Just tell me who''s the lucky dad?" the lady asked.


    "In heaven" Vanessa replied.


    "Papa is bad. How can he go to heaven? Papa carries Lisa by ear. Papa, a demon" said Lisa stunning Vanessa.


    Why would this kid refer to her birth father as a demon at this age?


    "So the father is a bad man and he''s dead? So pitiful" Mara lamented.


    "That''s it!"Vanessa got up from the seat and made to leave


    "Where are you going?"Mara asked.


    "M..M..Mara,a s.l.u.t,sc...sc.u.mbag,shit"Lisa cursed at Mara.


    Vanessa''s eyes widened.


    This kid!


    How old is she?


    "You little brat!"Mara wanted to tear this pretty babe to pieces.


    "Vanny, so this is how you train your child. I should applaud you" Mara said in anger.


    "There are some breed of women who look like a gorilla when angry. There are also some who are prettier when angry. Take a mirror and study yourself. Which group do you fall into?" with those words, Vanessa left the restaurant leaving a fuming Mara.


    Lisa stuck out her tongue at Mara before they exited the restaurant making Mara clench her fists.

 Chapter 3

    After they found another restaurant to settle in, Vanessa questioned the little one but all she said was"Lisa love Mama" making Vanessa almost pull her hair in frustration.


    This was somebody''s kid and just from her dressing, she could tell her background was not ordinary.


    Gosh! This is a big problem.


    For sure, she won''t be getting the job.


    What should she do now? Her rent was due next week. Gosh!


    Suddenly, the restaurant''s door burst open and a very handsome man dressed in a green suit rushed in.


    He is 7ft tall and slim.


    Seeing him some girls gasped but his focus wasn''t on them.


    On seeing Lisa, he rushed to them and snatched her from Vanessa.


    She wanted to protest but seeing the striking resemblance between the two, she knew immediately who he was Lisa''s father.


    Lisa was throwing ''fierce'' punches on her dad''s c.h.e.s.t but he didn''t mind.


    "Put me down. Lisa hate you. Papa a demon"Lisa cried.


    "You..what did you do to her?" her father questioned Vanessa.


    "She ran into me and i took her here for food" replied Vanessa.


    "So should i thank you for keeping her alive?" the man asked angrily.


    Vanessa looked at him and picked up her purse.


    "Be quiet, ugly," the man said in a baleful manner and she immediately stopped struggling.


    "Now that''s a good girl" the man muttered as he walked to the counter and settled the bills.


    When he got out of the restaurant, he saw that his car tyres were flat.


    He need not guess the culprit. It was Vanessa who was currently hiding in a person''s home.


    Lisa''s father made a phone call and sonn a jeep rolled over and he entered with Lisa.


    Then the car drove away at full speed.


    "Damn it! So Lisa''s father is the one who nearly ran me over. So ungrateful and evil. May the heavens punish him"Vanessa thought.


    **********


    Lisa whom her dad thought had fallen asleep suddenly began to scream loudly startling her father.


    What did that woman feed her that she turned out like this?


    "Ugly monkey stop screaming" he yelled but she suddenly bit his neck hard and opened the door.


    Before her dad could react, she was already out of the car.


    The driver immediately stooped the jeep and both got out of the jeep.


    Lisa had been run over by a fleeing criminal.


    At once, her dad ran over to her and carried her bridal style.


    "I want my mummy"Lisa said before fainting.

 Chapter 4

    Vanessa sighed after throwing her purse on the bed.


    She massaged her forehead and stared at the ceiling.


    Today was just bad. So bad!


    She couldn''t even make it to the interview and the little one she saved had a terrible guy for a dad. No wonder she calls him a demon.


    "Such a man doesn''t deserve to have a child-like Lisa in life. Gosh!" she said to herself frustrated.


    What would she do now? Would she be thrown out by her landlord if she can''t pay her rent?


    "I wonder how that little Lisa is doing. Forget it! Why worry about someone else''s child?" she scolded her self and then closed her eyes with the aim of thinking but instead she was kidnapped by sleep.


    Mcderbutt hospital...


    This is the best hospital in the whole of Y city. Little Lisa is currently going through surgery for internal bleeding.


    The surgeon suddenly came out demanding for her father''s blood.


    Her father has been waiting outside the surgery room.


    He sat on a waiting chair and is currently conducting a meeting via video.


    Looking at his calm face, no one would believe his daughter was dying.


    "Sir.." the surgeon called but Lisa''s father raised his left hand signaling him to be quiet.


    "Terminate the contract with the Han corporation.No room for discussion," he said coldly and then closed the laptop.


    He then raised his head to look at the surgeon who was trembling a bit.


    "What is it?" he asked angrily.


    "Idiot! Why couldn''t you detect that before the surgery? Now you interrupted my discussion."Lisa''s father complained.


    The surgeon didn''t know what to say in reply.


    "What is her blood type?"Lisa''s father asked as he stared impatiently at his watch.


    "B-negative" the surgeon replied.


    "Then why come to me? Go get it from the blood bank"Lisa''s father barked.


    "That''s the problem, sir! There''s no such blood type in our blood bank. You are her relative and yet your blood type doesn''t match hers either" said the surgeon.


    "So?"Lisa''s father asked with a raised eyebrow.


    The surgeon was stunned beyond belief. He hadn''t seen such a heartless father.


    "Do the surgery without blood transfusion. I don''t want someone else''s blood to be transfused into her. "Lisa''s father stated coldly and then he got up and left with two bodyguards.


    The surgeon was at a loss on what to do.


    He went back in to do as Lisa''s father instructed carrying out the surgery without blood transfusion.


    Miraculously she survived but she is very weak.


    She was then transferred to the private recovery room.

 Chapter 5

    Vanessa got a call that one of her friends, Evelyn Parkers, had been involved in an accident. She barely survived and was currently in the hospital receiving treatment.


    "Tell me, what the name of the hospital?" she asked worried.


    "Mcderbutt," said the caller.


    "Yes, I''ll is there soon" Vanessa cut the call and quickly rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.


    10 minutes later...


    Vanessa is all set to go out now in pink bum shorts, a black long-sleeved shirt, and sneakers.


    She did not put on any jewelry or make-up.


    She picked up a small bag and ran out of the room.


    Vanessa had borrowed taxi fare from a kind neighbor and boarded a taxi heading straight for the hospital.


    It took 20 minutes to get there and when she finally did she paid the driver and told him to keep the change.


    She then began to run into the hospital building.


    It really was worthy of being called a top hospital but it didn''t matter to Vanessa. All she cared about was seeing her beloved friend.


    She met the receptionist nurses and asked for the ward of her friend.


    It''s been long since she''s seen, Evelyn.


    They parted the last time due to a misunderstanding and now she''s got involved in an accident. She must forget the grudges and go see her or else she will not forgive herself.


    Evelyn is from a rich family but had never told Vanessa so she was surprised when she was taken to the VIP ward.


    "My friend is sure deep" Vanessa sighed deeply as she half-ran after the nurse who seemed to be running rather than walking.


    On the way to Evelyn''s room, Vanessa suddenly felt a pain in her c.h.e.s.t.


    Her legs trembled and she felt a shiver go down her spine.


    "What''s wrong with me?"Vanessa thought in fear.


    She looked towards her left and saw it was a recovery room.


    She felt like a force was drawing her to that room.


    "Hey, you!"The nurse suddenly turned around and called out to Vanessa with a frown on her face.


    "Hurry up!" the nurse snapped and continued walking.


    "Yes!"Vanessa replied feebly.


    "Why didn''t i bring a jacket? I''m freezing"Vanesa thought as she walked after the nurse trying to keep up with her.


    "I.." Vanessa suddenly lost all strength and fainted.


    The nurse turned around wanting to scold Vanessa only to see her fall to the ground.


    A worried expression appeared on the nurse''s face and she rushed to Vanessa while asking for help from the medical personnel using a ring.


    *********


    Vanessa opened her eyes and the first person she saw was her friend Evelyn.


    She didn''t look harmed at all. Vanessa thought she must be dreaming.


    "Vanessa, i''m sorry. I feel responsible"Evelyn said.


    "You.."


    "Yes, i''m a monied girl but i did not tell you because...i don''t even know the reason. Forgive me, friend. You''ll forgive me right?"Evelyn asked with puppy eyes.


    "It wasn''t...i did so,so you could come to me. But now it seems i.."Evelyn said with her head bowed low.


    "I understand. It''s not your fault. I think someone important to me is here. It''s the recovery room. Take me there." said Vanessa stunning Evelyn and the nurse.


    "Vanessa, you can''t leave. You.."


    "Am i paralyzed or something?"Vanessa asked.


    "Well...sort of"the nurse replied.


    "Put me in a wheelchair. I need to go to the recovery room" Vanessa said stubbornly.

 Chapter 6

    "Vanessa?"Evelyn called out in desperation but Vanessa wouldn''t listen to her.


    Finally, she gave in and let the nurses help her to sit in a wheelchair.


    "To the recovery room" Vanessa directed and she was taken to the place only that there was no one there.


    "Did i see it wrong? I''m sure that it''s here" Vanessa thought in doubt.


    "So what did you come here to see Vanessa? An empty recovery room? You want to be in there?"Evelyn asked.


    "I feel a sort of connection. It''s like..that person is dear to me and needs me" Vanessa said helplessly.


    "That must be your imagination. What sort of tosh is that? You believe in superstitions too? Vanessa!"Evelyn couldn''t understand her friend anymore. What was happening to her?


    "I''m not lying. I had a terrible dream of someone dying. He needed my help.I''ve got to find him"Vanessa defended but Evelyn shook her head.


    "Nurse, take her back to the room. She needs to rest"Evelyn said and the nurse turned the wheelchair around.


    "Vanessa? Stop this.You need to rest and we also need to settle our misunderstandings."said Evelyn as the nurse oushed the wheelchair forward.


    "Evelyn, you are my friend and you know me so well.Please let me find that person.He''s in this hospital"Vanessa cried again but Evelyn wouldn''t hear a word of it and let the nurse push the wheelchair back the way they came from.


    When they were about to make a turn, a redhead lady dressed in a black suit and silver heels ran past.

 Chapter 7

    "Nurse, Evelyn, let''s follow after that lady that just ran past us, "Vanessa said with urgency in her voice.


    "What''s wrong with you buddy? You couldn''t find the imaginary person you d.e.s.i.r.ed to see and now want to go after a random lady? Gosh!"Evelyn facepalmed.


    "Nurse, don''t listen to my friend. Take her back to the room"Evelyn commanded.


    "Yes, miss, "the nurse said and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.


    When they were almost close to the VIP room they had come out from earlier, Vanessa suddenly felt pain in her c.h.e.s.t.


    Evelyn noticed and asked with concern.


    "Are you okay?"


    "I...take me back. Follow that lady now or i will go after her"Vanessa threatened.


    "Nurse, push her in"Evelyn commanded.


    She was getting fed up with Vanessa''s nonsense.


    "Sorry my friend, i can''t listen to your rubbish," Evelyn said as the nurse pushed her inside the room.


    Vanessa clutched her c.h.e.s.t and with gritted teeth spoke.


    "Evelyn, you must take me there now or i will get up"


    Evelyn shook her head and sighed.


    *******


    At another VIP room


    Little Lisa is currently fighting for her life with the doctors and nurses trying to resuscitate her.


    The BP monitor has been giving alarms.


    The doctors dare not slack off because if this girl dies, then this hospital would be closed down.


    He''s lying on a couch with eyes closed.


    He even hummed along.


    If one sees him, one would not believe that his daughter is at the brink of death.


    Some nurses who stole a glance at him viewed him as the most heartless father ever seen on Earth. This girl was his offspring but he doesn''t even care about her one bit.


    They pitied the poor girl and wondered where the mother is.

 Chapter 8

    "Evelyn..."


    "You must rest or I''ll ask the nurse to force you to sleep"Evelyn threatened.


    "Just this once, Evelyn.I''m really not lying. Someone important to me is dying and needs my help" Vanessa said again close to tears.


    "Nurse?"


    The nurse injected a sleeping drug into her arm and Vanessa fell asleep immediately bringing about a sigh from Evelyn who facepalmed.


    "I only tried to play a joke on her and then mend our friendship but what''s this? I don''t know what to do."Evelyn muttered to herself.


    "Do not worry! She''ll be fine"the nurse consoled.


    "Yeah! She will."Evelyn nodded.


    **********


    At Lisa''s room, things were turning bad.


    Her bp had been 100% and they managed to bring it down to 39 who knew that it would immediately deteriorate to 22%.


    Some nurses began to cry. It wasn''t because they''d lose their jobs but because this poor sweet Lisa was going to die. She hadn''t even enjoyed life yet.


    "Lisa''s father removed the headphones.


    "Is she stiff yet?" he asked with a deadpan face shocking the medical staff in the room.


    His baby girl was fighting for her life and ..he is praying for her death?


    Exactly how heartless is he?


    The doctors didn''t know how to reply and her father shook his head.


    "Tsk!Tsk!Tsk! Best doctors? Really? I feel that you guys are the best clowns. She won''t survive anyway." he walked to Lisa whose lips were becoming pale.


    "She''s already dead.Now i won''t have to deal with her annoying disturbances. I won''t close this hospital"he then pulled off the oxygen mask from Lisa''s face.


    "I will leave her here.Do what you wanna do with her.I will give you guys 500 million each to keep mum about this issue.It''s best if one of you take her home for burial.As of today,she''s not my daughter.Dead people aren''t my relatives but only LIVING PEOPLE" Lisa''s father said with a smile that sent shivers down the medical staff''s spines.


    All the staff looked at each other and back at the little Lisa.


    "Did he just disown his only child. He''s too heartless?" a doctor said.


    Majority of them left Lisa to the head doctor who was a female. She sighed and shook her head before leaving the room.


    Lisa''s father had forbidden them from helping her so they could only pray.


    ***********


    Back at the VIP ward, Vanessa woke up and screamed attracting the nurse''s and Vanessa''s attention.


    "What is it?"Evelyn asked in concern.


    She and the nurse were shocked that the medicine did not affect Vanessa for long.


    "You must take me there. She''s dying"Vanessa cried.


    "I''m very sure of this"Vanessa defended. Her eyes held anxiety in them.


    "You...just rest. It must be a nightmare"Evelyn tried to console Vanessa but she wouldn''t take it.


    "Miss..please rest and free your mind. This worry isn''t good for you" the nurse said but Vanessa shook her head.


    "Forget it!" Vanessa threw down the blanket and put her legs down.


    "What are you doing?" Evelyn and the nurse cried out in alarm.


    "Nothing can stop me this time," Vanessa said and stood up.


    "Vanessa sit down. You can''t walk"Evelyn cried out again in fear.


    "We''ll see," Vanessa said and began running out of the room stunning Evelyn and the nurse.

 Chapter 9

    The nurse named Regina and Evelyn looked at each other with surprise and uncertainty.


    "That. That wasn''t a ghost, right? My Vanessa wasn''t fake, right? My Vany can''t walk for now. How did she muster strength in her legs and ...."Evelyn was cut off by the nurse.


    "No dilly-dallying. After her"Regina screamed and both ran out of the room in haste.


    Evelyn caught a glimpse of Vanessa making a bend and they ran in her direction.


    They were extremely worried about Vanessa.


    Vanessa is a patient and Evelyn''s best buddy. None of them could lose Vanessa.


    It got to the point where, Evelyn had to take off her heels, put them in hand and continue the chase.


    Vanessa, on the other hand, kept running but not aimlessly.


    She ran towards the direction of Lisa''s room and stopped exactly opposite the room which was left unlocked and turned to see a little girl lying unconscious in bed. She felt much more pain in her c.h.e.s.t and immediately concluded that this was the girl.


    She turned around and saw that Evelyn and Regina were coming although their speed had slowed down because they were getting tired.


    "Stop right there Vanessa, stop"Evelyn yelled.


    "Don''t you move. Stop"Regina yelled.


    She walked slowly to where the girl lay.


    Her lips and skin had become pale and her body was a bit cold.


    Vanessa parted the hair that covered the little girl''s face and her eyes widened in surprise.


    "Lisa?" she cried out upon recognizing the little girl.

 Chapter 10

    "How can this be? How can this be? My lively Lisa...Lisa? Can you hear me?"Vanessa took a chair to sit on beside Lisa and took her left hand that was slightly cold.


    "Lisa, mummy is here. Lisa, my beautiful girl, open your eyes now. Mummy is here. Sorry for not coming early. Mummy is sorry. Lisa wake up" Vanessa said in a whisper and began crying while rubbing Lisa''s hand hoping to warm her up.


    "My dear Lisa,don''t scare mum. Open your eyes and we''ll go eat anything you want. We''ll buy everything in the world that you like. Lisa..Lisa open your eyes"Vanessa cried.


    Evelyn and Regina who had just reached the door started knocking on the door but Vanessa did not open.


    She kept kissing Lisa''s small hands and rubbing them.


    "Lisa..mum is at a loss on what to do. Lisa.."


    "Vany, open the door now" Evelyn yelled from outside but Vanessa did not reply.


    All she cared about now was Lisa.


    "Lisa...please open your eyes" she whispered again.


    Slowly,Lisa''s fingers trembled and the cold in her body vanished allowing the trapped heat to return.


    Her pale skin was regaining color again and her lips were rosy.


    Vanessa was surprised and also happy.


    "Baby, i know you can do it. Baby Lisa" she called out softly to the unconscious Lisa whose eyelids had also begun to tremble.


    Her words seemed to do magic as Lisa managed to open her eyes in two minutes.


    "Lisa" Vanessa called out and kissed Lisa''s forehead.


    "Lisa..do you know how worried i was?"


    "You said you are my mama," Lisa said in a parched voice.


    "Yes, i am your mama," Vanessa said with a nod.


    She doesn''t even know why she referred to herself as Lisa''s mama but so long as it''ll make Lisa leave,she''ll agree for now.


    She''d agree to any request from her little princess. She''d also go to any length to fulfill them.


    "My beautiful Lisa.My dear Lisa. Don''t scare me like this next time okay?"Vanessa said as she hugged Lisa.


    Lisa nodded and smiled.


    "Err...yes.I will be your mama."Vanessa said with a nod.


    A smile had finally found its way to her lips.


    "Mama?"Lisa called out to her excitedly.


    "My beautiful Lisa. What is your request?"Vanessa said with a smile as she petted Lisa.


    "Lisa loves Mama"


    "Oh? Why do you love Mama?" Vanessa asked pretending to be confused.


    "Mama is s.e.xy. Mama is nice. Mama is everything" Lisa said happily.


    Vanessa began to wonder if Lisa was really that pale, unconscious, dying girl she met alone just a few minutes ago.


    This girl really was a wonder.


    Forget it. What matters is that little Lisa is alive.


    "What about Papa?"Vanessa asked.


    "That demon incarnate isn''t my Papa," Lisa said angrily.


    "Eish! Calm down, Lisa. Calm down. It isn''t good to be angry. Mama won''t bring him up again okay?"


    Lisa nodded and placed a kiss on Vanessa''s head.


    Vanessa smiled and hugged her wanting to give her more warmth.


    While they were sharing a moment of warmth and love, Evelyn and Regina who were gravely worried got Lisa''s father''s bodyguards to break the door only to see this lovey-dovey scene.


    All were shocked.


    Lisa separated from Vanessa''s hug and shot the intruders a baleful look.


    Evelyn ran to Vanessa and shot her a querying look.


    "You..i dunno what to say."Evelyn managed to say but Regina shook her head.


    "Little miss, forgive us for being late"the bodyguards went one knee and bowed.


    "Vanessa, let''s get outta here," Evelyn said and pulled Vanessa up from the chair she had been sitting on only for Vanessa to fall to the ground.


    "What''s wrong with you?"Evelyn asked in worry.


    "I..I feel no strength in my legs. I also see five of you, Evelyn. Do you have some superpower?"Vanessa asked before passing out.


    "Vanessa?"Evelyn cried out.


    "Mama?"Lisa cried out too and got off the bed after removing the drip.


    The bodyguards seemed not to be shocked about this.


    "You fools. What are you waiting for? Hurry, do something."Lisa yelled as she ran to Vanessa.


    "You mad lady, leave my mama alone" she yelled at Evelyn stunning her and Regina.


    The bodyguards also seemed to be used to this stunning both of them even more.


    Is this girl really three years old?


    They both thought.

 Chapter 11

    "If anything happens to my Mama, you "Lisa pointed at Evelyn "Will be dead meat."Lisa threatened.


    Evelyn was shocked at her outburst. She also felt a chill run down her spine.


    It was like she was a bit afraid of Lisa.


    One of the bodyguards quickly carried Vanessa''s bridal style and hurried out of the room with Regina and Evelyn following.


    The other bodyguard lifted Lisa and made her sit on his shoulders and then began to go after the others.


    *************


    30 minutes later...


    Vanessa opened her eyes and felt a slight headache.


    Also, her vision was a bit blurry but after some seconds it cleared up.


    She turned her head to see Lisa crying while Evelyn was standing close to the door.


    She seemed afraid to come close.


    "Lisa...Evelyn"Vanessa wanted to mutter these words but all that came out was unclear sounds.


    She couldn''t speak.


    "What''s going on? She thought in fear.


    "Mama? You''re awake? Mama" Lisa wiped her tears off and started smiling.


    "Mama, i was very scared. Lisa is scared" Lisa said with an emotional voice.


    Vanessa wanted to really speak but all that came out were unclear sounds that made Lisa and Evelyn worried.


    "Vany, are you alright?"Evelyn asked and Lisa turned her head to look at Evelyn.


    She shot her a baleful look and Evelyn quickly shut her mouth blinking her eyes twice.


    "Mama,i..are you alright? Mama, Lisa is very scared. Mama, what happened to your voice? Please speak to me."Lisa begged but Evelyn rolled her eyes.


    Vanessa shook her head and closed her eyes.


    "Mama, please don''t scare me" Lisa began to cry again.


    Vanessa opened her eyes, raised her right hand and c.a.r.e.s.sed Lisa''s head.


    "Mama.."


    Vanessa couldn''t hear any more of Lisa''s words cause she fainted again.


    "Mama? You"Lisa turned to look at Evelyn again.


    "What did i do wrong now?"Evelyn asked.


    "You dare ask me? Are you crazy you ugly lady?"Lisa thundered.


    "I didn''t make her faint this time and wasn''t responsible for her earlier fainting. If it wasn''t for her stubbornness she''d be resting and chatting peacefull with me right now"Evelyn thundered back.


    She''d gotten fed up with this Lisa. This little demoness is preventing her from going close to her friend.


    "You dare yell at me? Do you know who i am?"Lisa yelled.


    "Of course, the one her dad calls ugly. You dare to call me ugly when you are the queen of the uglies"Said Evelyn as she pointed at Lisa.


    "Ha! Little runt like you? Dream on!"Evelyn brushed Lisa''s words off.


    "For my Mama''s sake i won''t have you whipped," said Lisa.


    "And for my friend''s sake i won''t smack your b.u.t.t and offer you as a sacrifice," said Evelyn.


    "What? You wanna offer me as a sacrifice? Who do you think you are?"Lisa yelled.


    "And who do you think you are? You''re just a powerless mosquito"Evelyn cursed.


    "You are a scarecrow and a chicken"


    "Oh really! You''re a yam head"


    "Blockhead"


    "Foolish girl"


    "You are the dead meat"


    "Shut up"


    "Ugly duckling"


    "I forgot that you''re the queen"


    "You.....stop calling me that.I''m not ugly.I''m very handsome" Lisa said but as soon as she realized what she said she covered her mouth in shock.


    Evelyn burst out in mirth.


    "Handsome? Yes my dear piggy, you are handsome. I wanna marry me. Marry me please!"Evelyn mocked adding salt to Lisa''s wounds.


    "Shut up!"Lisa yelled.


    "Why?"Evelyn asked with a smile on her lips.


    "What''s ''hey!''? You know i really wonder. Are you really a three year old? I''ve been wanting to ask you that question" said Evelyn.


    "You..AHHHH"


    "Why are you yelling?"Evelyn asked.


    "Forget it! I admit defeat" said Lisa as she sat back in her chair and rested on Vanessa''s right hand.


    "Mama loves me" she muttered before closing her eyes to fall asleep.

 Chapter 12

    GVS enterprises...


    This well-known company occupies seven floors in the building and is the largest business enterprise in M city.


    Its employees are divided into two; the inner employees and the outer employees.


    The outer employees take three whole floors and the remaining 4 are reserved for the inner employees.


    There''s always plenty of room for promotion, so long as you''ve got the talent, the skill, dedication, commitment, requirements and the approval of the Deputy Manager.


    GVS enterprises have branches in 50 countries in the 7 continents and it''s all being controlled by a single man-the heartthrob of many ladies of marriageable age, Nelson Woodley, a man known to be strict and cold. He is said to have a frozen heart but the best brain when it comes to business.


    No one has ever seen him smile or ear anything other than black suits.


    If one could go to his house,they''d see that everything in his room is either black or white.


    Some also call him the lion boss due to his easily firing an employee when they make mistakes.


    For example, gossiping is forbidden in the company, eating is also forbidden in the company as the company gives workers 2 whole hours to buy food for lunch outside the building and so many restaurants are around the area.


    If he catches anyone disobeying any of these rules then he is fired. Those who work under him do so with fear.


    At this time, a black Maybach Exelero latest brand rolled over to the entrance of the company.


    20 workers of the company,10 men and ten omen ere already waiting for him dressed in black suits.


    The driver of the car got out and walked around to the back passengers'' door and opened it.


    A man stepped out dressed in black suit that was worth 2 million dollars.


    Yeah! Everything about him from head to toe smelt and proclaimed money.


    This man is the famous Nelson Woodley the CEO of GVS enterprises.

 Chapter 13 - 13

    Nelson Woodley took off his sunglasses and smiled at one of the female employees who were to welcome him. She''s dressed in the see-through and extremely tight gown. Though it may not be too evident once water touches it, it will be plain for all to see. The camisole she wore inside was lowered more than usual so one could see her cleavage and this lady happens to have big b.r.e.a.s.ts and nice shape. She wasn''t too pretty but with her assets, she was confident of getting a man easily. She was employed two weeks ago and despite knowing the rules, she still chose to disobey for today.


    Nelson walked slowly to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.


    "See me at my office later. You look really beautiful today. Muah!"Nelson blew her a kiss and wore back his sunglasses.


    He gave a thumbs up to the employees looking at him waiting for his command.


    "Let''s go," he said with a small yet audible voice.


    "Yes sir" they chorused and began to follow him.


    His secretary, Mr. Peter Jones briefed him about his schedule for the morning as they walked towards the elevator.


    Apart from the secretary talking, no one was talking.


    Some who wanted to communicate were using sign language and Nelson nodded.


    "Not bad" he muttered.


    He and the secretary took the elevator which took them to the highest floor which is the seventh floor.


    The elevator''s door opened and Nelson Woodley came out of the elevator with the secretary following behind.

 Chapter 14 - 14

    "Tell me when will Mr.Hackers come to visit me?"Nelson asked as he walked toward his office.


    "10:00 am"replied the secretary as he adjusted his glasses.


    "Cancel the visit, i have to play tennis with my employee at that time, "Nelson said.


    "Yes, I''ll cancel it right now," said the secretary.


    "Tomorrow take a day off," said Nelson as he opened the door to his office.


    "Yes sir and thank you, sir," said the secretary.


    "You really wished for me to say such sugary words? I don''t wanna have diabetes so though you''ll take a day off you''ll report to me by 3:00 pm tomorrow and play games with me till 8:00 pm. Am i clear?"


    "Yes, Yes sir" the secretary nodded.


    "Geez! This guy simply can''t be trusted. Gives one hope and then dash it to the ground mercilessly." thought the secretary.


    "Recall, inviting that hot employee of mine to meet me by 10"


    "Yes, sir!" the secretary nodded and put the files with him on the desk. He bowed again before turning to leave.


    "Wait! Inform that hot lady to come in now. I need to admire her. Her b.o.o.b.s are good. Wonder how much milk is stored in them for me" Nelson said while l.i.c.k.i.n.g his lips.


    Hearing this, the secretary trembled.


    "Y..yes sir"


    The secretary practically fled outta the office.


    3 minutes later, the girl from earlier walked in, elegantly.


    "Boss, you called for me?" she said in a small voice.


    "Yeah!"Nelson took off his sunglasses and rose from his seat.


    "I like girls that are bold like you. You are very beautiful. Come over here let me take a good look at you" said Nelson as he beckoned her with his hand.


    "Ah!I''ve struck gold." the lady thought as she walked towards him slowly.

 Chapter 15 - 15

    The lady walked slowly yet elegantly to him still maintaining the smile on her face.


    Nelson assessed her booty and b.o.o.b.s again and again and smiled.


    "Please take a seat...on my l.a.p.s. Today, you have become my...lady said Nelson huskily.


    "Yes sir!" the lady laughed as she sat on his l.a.p.s.


    "Do you think that I''m a good man?"Nelson asked.


    The lady was confused as to why he was asking this question but she decided to put it at the back of her mind.


    "Yes, sir. You are a very good man"


    "You are Sonia Terryson right?"


    The lady nodded, happy that he knew her name.


    "Last week, i saw you kissing another man who''s in his 70s, short and has a big potbelly. I made a law that no one should ever dress like a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e to my company, but what did you do? You are so bold yet insultive. I''ll let you off for today but you need to dress like me. What do you say? If you do that, the chance of being promoted is high"


    Sonia''s heart was in chaos.


    He knew about who she was in secret? It means then that she''s in hot soup.


    "Sir,i''m a v.i.r.g.i.n and i never lie."Sonia said teary-eyed"Why would you say that..."


    She couldn''t complete her words because Nelson knocked her out.


    He told the guard to carry her to the bathroom and give her ''VIP'' treatment.


    "Yes sir" the female guard named Aarti chorused and with one handpicked up Sonia and took her to the bathroom in Nelson''s office along with the package in her hand.


    10 minutes later...


    Nelson is currently reading a detective comic book while eating popcorn.


    "This is really good" he muttered.


    Aati came out of the bathroom with Sonia who is still unconscious and laid her on the floor.


    "Sir, is this satisfactory?"Aarti asked in a small voice.


    Nelson dropped the book he was reading and stared at Sonia''s figure.


    At once he smiled and gave Aarti a thumbs up which really made her elated inside.


    Sonia who''s been laid on the floor now has her clothes replaced by sackcloth that had holes and patched at many places especially around the b.o.o.b.s and b.u.t.t area.


    The sackcloth did cover her'' properly'' from head to toe and had the picture of a dead baboon on it.


    Her beautiful heels had now been changed to bathroom slippers that the poor man buys but this one looked like it was inherited from her great-grandpa.


    Her face still has make-up on it but the problem is the big ''X'' painted on her cheeks.


    Her head was now bald. The skin was smooth and shiny because Aarti applied some oil to it and then drew the arrow tattoo of Avatar Aang in the cartoon Avatar, on her bald head and then put two cheap earrings of different colors and brands on her ears.


    On her shoulder, she was carrying a teddy bear purse.


    Aarti nodded in satisfaction too and dragged Sonia out of the CEO''S office to the elevator where Sonia was finally tossed out of the elevator at the final floor


    All the workers were shocked.


    They clearly recalled that Sonia had gone to see the Ceo looking confident right?

 Chapter 16 - 16

    She had proudly gone to the Ceo''s office and many had been envious of her and wished to curry favor with her when she returns but who knew that...this really was incomprehensible. It was today that they realized that their boss could also be savage in his actions. Other CEOs would at least just fire the disobedient employee but their boss went to this extent...it means he''s got no respect for anyone be it a man or woman and this is just terrible to see.


    They didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "You can''t do this to me."The lady cried but she was mercilessly thrown out of the office by security.


    "Don''t worry, our boss will compensate you. He just wishes to have fun AT OTHERS EXPENSE. That''s how he is"Aati whispered with a smile and then walked away cooly.


    Sonia rose up from the ground and bit her lip as passersby laughed at her making her clench her fists. She looked back at the company she''d been thrown out from and swore in her heart to teach Nelson Woodley a lesson he''d never forget-that he should respect a woman''s pride and dignity.


    With that, she left the area amidst mirth from others and boarded a taxi.


    Right in the bag was a check of 2 million and a bundle of notes amounting to 33 thousand dollars.


    She smiled a bit when she saw them but the smile did not last for long.


    "Still, i will make him pay" she swore in her heart as the taxi sped along the road.


    ************


    Back at the office, Nelson Woodley smiled as he got up from his seat. He was expecting a guest that had never been seen here for months.


    He decided to cancel all his appointments in order to see that person.


    Putting one hand in his pocket, he took his car keys and left for the elevator.


    Inside the elevator was his secretary.


    "Sir...where"


    "I wanna see my darling friend. You can come along and have fun if you want" Nelson said generously but his secretary shook his head. The last time he went with his boss to a friend reunion, it turned into a serious fight and later, he was turned into a punching bag though that allowed his some months off work he''d rather not go through that again no matter how much pay he''d get.


    "You don''t need to follow then. Just help me sign the doc.u.ments on my table" said Nelson with a knowing smile.


    He smiled foolishly.


    "Sir...i was just joking. Who wouldn''t want to follow you? You are a .."Mr. Peters was interrupted.


    "Don''t praise me. I know your happiness" said Nelson in a narcissistic tone making his secretary stunned.


    "Happiness? This is the worst day of my life. I haven''t even written my will yet. Gosh! What am i thinking I''m still young."Mr peter thought.


    The elevator opened and Nelson stepped out first and Peter followed him to the last floor.


    The employees stared at them for 2 seconds and faced their work. They didn''t want to be fired from this well paying job that they had. Nelson came outside and saw many cars passing and he smiled.


    He entered the Maybach Excelero and drove away by himself.


    As expected, he wouldn''t let me come along. It''s good that sir has feelings. I''m touched"thought Mr. Peter with a sigh only for his phone to ring.


    It was his boss and Mr.Peters'' face twisted as he answered the call.


    Mr. Peters: "Hello, boss"


    Nelson: "Peters, i think i''m pregnant, my water broke"


    Peters: "?????


    Nelson" "I''m joking. Meet me up at Theo''s cafe. Don''t be late"


    The line hung up and Peters began to shed non-existent tears.


    "Is he going to meet his girlfriend or something?"Peters thought before boarding a taxi.


    Meanwhile, Lisa''s father had been informed that his daughter was miraculously alive and that her savior was unconscious.


    "Boring!" her dad muttered before drinking coffee and at the same time reading an analysis report from the manager.


    "It''s almost time," he said again before standing.


    He put down the analysis report and patted the creases on his suit.


    "I have an appointment. Jason, prepare the Rolls-Royce. I''m going incognito today" he said as he headed for the bathroom in his master bedroom.


    His secretary shook her head.


    "Going incognito in a Rolls-Royce. Now that''s more like her boss. Rich people do think differently from the poor. Such is life" she thought with a sigh and left the room to fulfill her boss'' command.


    At the hospital, Vanessa had woken up and was being fed noodles by Lisa while Evelyn sat at corner sulking.


    "Evelyn come over here"


    Evelyn turned her head to look at Vanessa who was still smiling.


    Strange! Vanessa can''t speak for now. Did she so much wanna be with her friend that she''d started hallucinating?


    Yeah! It must be it.


    "Evelyn, my best buddy. Come over here"


    Evelyn stood up still looking at Vanessa.


    "Am i going crazy?" she asked herself.


    Vanessa smiled at Evelyn and nodded her head making Evelyn more confused.


    "Evelyn don''t be scared. Come to me. I can telepath now. So let''s talk telepathically."


    Evelyn looked at Vanessa and walked towards her and Lisa but Lisa was angry.


    "Evil lady don''t you think of coming here.I''m not letting you take my mama," said Lisa.


    Vanessa patted her little head and nodded at Evelyn.


    "Come here, buddy"Evelyn fainted at the thought that she was going crazy.


    "Hey, why did you fall? Don''t you dare pretend.I''m not leaving my mama" Lisa yelled "Guards"


    At once, two female bodyguards came in.


    "She wants to steal my mama. Beat her"


    "Miss, she really has fainted," said Amber one of the female guards.


    "So," Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. "Take her away," she ordered but Vanesa rubbed Lisa''s head and smiled.


    "Fine!I''ll let her stay. Get one of the doctors to come to check on her."Lisa commanded and immediately one of the guards left quickly.

 Chapter 17 - 17

    Evelyn slowly opened her eyes and the once blurry surrounding became clear. She could see Lisa sleeping on Vanessa;''s sickbed with her head on Vanessa''s l.a.p.s. Vanessa was half sitting and half lying on the king-size bed, staring at the cute Lisa sleeping peacefully.


    "She''s such an innocent child. It''s a pity that she''s been ruined by her uncaring father. If i had such a father, i would have taught him a lesson. Poor kid" Vanessa thought with a sigh as she c.a.r.e.s.sed Lisa''s head.


    Evelyn managed to sit up and Vanessa turned to look at her with a smile.


    "Vanessa?"Evelyn called out softly in a parched voice as she adjusted a stray hair strand that was covering her eyes back to its original position.


    Vanessa shook her head and stared at Lisa and then back at Evelyn.


    "Lisa is sleeping. Please let''s not wake her up"


    Evelyn''s eyes widened and she gasped in shock staring at Vanessa who was still smiling.


    "Sorry, i made you faint from shock. Don''t faint again and let''s talk. I dunno why but i am capable of telepathy now and i just felt like using it since for the time being, i can''t speak. Please do not freak out and try to reply to me....but not with your lips..i mean your mouth. Try if you can reply to me with your mind."


    Evelyn opened her mouth as Vanessa nodded.


    "I..."Evelyn was made to shut up by Vanessa shaking her head.


    "I don''t know what''s happening. This feels really strange" Evelyn thought in confusion.


    "Yeah! It''s indeed strange and i still haven''t come to terms with it yet. I don''t know why i became mute"Vanessa replied to Evelyn telepathically making her gasp.


    "So...we can actually speak to each other with our mouths closed and i''m also capable of telepathy?"Evelyn asked.


    "Yes! You and i can.I''ll try to connect with Lisa. But if i can''t, then it means that i can only use this means of secret communication with you."


    "Then...we can still speak even when Lisa forbids me to? Tha''s just great!"Evelyn exclaimed telepathically."If not you...i wouldn''t know that such a thing as telepathy existed"


    "So now, about the fact that you are a monied girl. Why didn''t you tell me? You know i don''t chase riches" Vanessa asked telepathically with a serious look.


    "I...i''m sorry! Very sorry!" Evelyn apologized with her head facing the ground.


    "I forgive you but don''t you ever dare to hide thins from me again," Vanessa said to Evelyn telepathically.


    Evelyn held her ears.


    "I''m sorry. I won''t ever do that again. Are we still.."


    "You need not ask. You''re still and will remain my best buddy" said Vanessa telepathically.


    "And telepathy companion" added Evelyn.


    "Yes!And telepathy companion."Vanessa said and they both smiled.

 Chapter 18 - 18

    Theo''s cafe.


    This cafe is the second-best in the city and is where Nelson has currently arrived in his car. It''s obvious that he must visit a boutique since he''s no longer wearing the suit from earlier but denim ripped blue jeans, white converse, an oversized black t-shirt with a ''Bad boy'' logo pasted at the front.


    He''s wearing a black cap which he turned towards the back and a gold long chain around his neck.


    On his left hand was a ring on his index finger and a chain bracelet.


    Seeing him, some girls and women screamed: "Handsome, marry me".


    Nelson smiled and shook his head.


    He looked at his olden wristwatch on his right hand and looked at the clouds.


    "I''d better et in before my darling comes in" he muttered to himself and smiled before going inside the cafe where he was greeted by a waiter.


    "Please, a cup of coffee, "Nelson said as he walked to the extreme of the cafe to sit.


    "Yes sir," said the waiter as he went to et the order.


    2 minutes later, a Rolls-Royce pulled over behind Nelson''s car and Lisa''s dad dressed in a black Arabian male outfit( white thobe, ghutra and egal) and black sandals alighted from the car wearing sunglasses.


    He closed the door and put his hands in his pockets.


    Seein him, some crossed over to the other side.


    This guy looks scary. It''s not prejudiced,Lisa''s father indeed was like ice, freezing ice that made people want to stay away from him.


    He scoffed and entered the cafe.


    "Hey darling, over here!"Nelson called from the extreme.


    Lisa''s dad turned to the right and saw Nelson waving at him with a smile.


    Lisa''s dad scoffed before walking over to Nelson.


    He pulled a chair and sat.


    "Darlin, now don''t make this face at me. Smile for your honey will you?"Nelson teased.


    "Don''t beat around the bush. I don''t have time" Lisa''s dad said dryly as he looked at his wristwatch.


    "Pretend! Keep pretending hypocrite"


    "Nelson, i don''t have time"


    "Jackie..."


    "I''m not a dog"


    "Do only dogs bear jack?"


    "And i''m a male"


    "I know darling! Waiter, please get us a big jug of coffee and a mug. Both I and my darling here will get drunk" said Nelson.


    "Get drunk!Silly!"


    "Come on stoneface...be free for once. Do you know what i did today? I humiliated a stupid worker of mine and paid her some money for entertaining me."


    "Fool" Lisa''s dad muttered.


    "Hey, stop saying such things. You''re making me unhappy"


    "Then die"


    "Die?"Nelson asked with a raised eyebrow.


    "Only dead people don''t cry and remain peaceful"


    "Oh! (in a hushed tone) is that why you didn''t care for you little Lisa"


    "Don''t mention her name before me again. She should be grateful that i didn''t throw her out"


    "Jack, you can''t say such a thing. I know that you hate her mum but Lisa''s innocent"


    "Are you here to preach to me on how to care for her?"


    "No, i''m here because....i want to spend some time with you. Lie that you weren''t excited to read my letter"


    "I...dont waste my time, a second wasted is money lost, "Lisa''s dad said unhappily.


    "You really are a dumbhead, Jack. Do you know that i canceled 3 meetings and an appointment to come here?"


    "And what about me? I miss you a lot. Let''s visit a hotel after the coffee rivalry."


    "You''re crazy, "Lisa''s dad said before standing.


    At this time, the waiter had arrived with the jug of coffee and a mug both placed on a tray.


    "I regret coming here," Jack said before turning to leave.


    "Hey, darling, you can''t just leave. Wait!"Nelson yelled as he rose up from is seat frantically.

 Chapter 19 - 19

    Nelson chased after Jack and held him by his left hand.


    "Don''t leave, Jack! It wasn''t easy for me to see you. Please don''t leave. I just wanna talk to you about something"


    "Then let''s leave and go somewhere better than here" Jack stated coldly and left the cafe, car keys in hand.


    Nelson threw a ten-dollar bill on one of the tables and ran out to see that Jack had already Ignited the car engine and was about to zoom off.


    Distressed, Nelson yelled.


    "Wait, darling. You can''t ditch this poor one here. Hold your reins for a minute okay?"Nelson ran to his car and opned the driver''s door.


    Jack hissed and drove the car away at a rather perilous speed making pedestrians get out of his way.


    One red-haired, tall lady wearing ''designer'' heels and a mini skirt under a crop top fell on the ground in the process, scraping her knee and her mini jean skirt tore at he right side revealing that she did not wear even a short knicker underneath just blue cotton p.a.n.t.i.e.s.


    Some laughed at her, while some lecherous men tried to see more.


    "You all!..." she pointed at them in anger."Shameless people" she cursed as she helped herself up from the ground only to find that one of her heels had broken.


    Gosh! She was so mad now. These heels were bought for her by one of her sugar daddies at 100 dollars and now they are broken due to some silly man.


    She gritted her teeth in anger and swore to teach whoever did this to her a lesson.


    Nelson seeing what his ''darling'' had caused shook his head with a sigh and fastened his seatbelts.


    Today after so long, he would be having a competition with Jack.


    He ignited the car engine and also drove off at breakneck speed shocking many people.


    Nelson, however, did not forget to throw a bundle of money at the angry lady.


    The lady picked up the money and found out that the money was in 10,000 dollars notes amounting to 1,000,000 dollars.


    The lady''s eyes shone and she quickly put the money into her big black bag for fear of it being collected by these people.


    She took off her heels and began to run, forgetting about the torn area on her skirt.


    "See all you want, i don''t care. All i care about now is the safety of my money." she thought as she ran.


    Some men were chasing her.


    They didn''t know how much was in her hand but they were sure it''s more than 10000 dollars.


    Thankfully, a cab pulled over and she entered quickly.


    By the time the men reached where she had been, the cab has zoomed off at breakneck speed.


    "Who knew that a randomly torn skirt would earn me this much money. Whoever those two people are, may heavens bless them abundantly and they''ll have happy marriages and happy life. They are the kindest men in this world" she praised in her heart.


    Earlier she had been cursing them but because of money, this lass had started to bless Jack and Nelson like a father blessing his children.
