121 Silvia’s Mission


    Denise walked into E’s office wearing a priceless smile on her face.


    “Good morning, beautiful! Hmm...something smells delicious,” Denise licked her lips and took a seat opposite E.


    “Good morning, mama bear!” E said in an excited tone. Her eyes sparkled as she wee Denise to join her in the meal she was eating.


    “You know I can’t resist a deliciously made dish.” Denise grinned as she took some portion of food for herself and started eating. “Yummy! Your chef is the best in the world.”


    “Thank you!”


    “By the way, are you aware of how beautiful you look this morning? You are glowing, gal!” Deniseplimented.


    “Oh please, don’t make me blush,” E’s cheeks reddened as she smiled.


    “I am serious, E. Could it be from the excessive and healthy food you’ve been eatingtely?”


    “Have I been eating that much?” E said quizzically with raised eyebrows.


    .....


    “Of course, take a look at your snack table.” Denise gestured towards the other end of E’s office. “it’s almost as if you’re having a snack party. Nevertheless, that shouldn’t bother you. Leon must be draining you physically. So I’ll advise you to eat more.”


    “Oh Denise, you and your silly mouth,” E chuckled out loud.


    Denise joined in E’sughter for a while before her face turned all serious.


    “Do you have any idea why Silvia would want to see you? I just feel something is not right. I hope she’s not up to anything shady,” Denise wore a puzzled expression.


    “I have no idea why she wants to see me but I’m dying to find out,” E replied. “That’s one of the reasons I invited you over. I wanted both of us to put our heads together and assess her motives. Also, if she tries anything funny I’ll make her pay dearly.”


    “Good! I like that!” Denise beamed with satisfaction.


    “Are you aware that the F&K fashion brand name has been reced with AR brand name? Also, Silvia told me that Kyle is currently hospitalized, due to a road ident. As if the doom that befell the F&K fashionpany is not enough, it now has a new CEO by the name of Luke Robinson; who happens to be an adopted son of Albert Robinson.”


    Denise’s mouth fell agape and her eyes widened as she gawked at E in disbelief. “You don’t say! Oh my goodness! This is just too juicy to be real! What about the former insane CEO? Where does she fit in, in all of this?”


    “My dear,” E grinned, “Chloe’s case is the worse. ording to Leon, she was disowned and disinherited by her father. As if that wasn’t enough, she was sent to a psychiatric institution outside the country.”


    “What! Are you serious right now? Wow!” Denise stared at E in disbelief.


    At that moment, the inte on E’s desk rang and Jane informed her that Silvia was around.


    “Send her in,” E said curtly and dropped the phone.”


    Silvia walked into the office timidly and shut the door behind her. She took a few calcted and trembling steps toward the two ringdies before her. She stole furtive nces around her surroundings and marveled at the luxurious decoration, which greatly intimated her.


    When she was just two meters away from E’s desk, she stopped and went down on her knees.


    “E, Denise, I know you both hate me for all the evil that I have done in the past. I have...”


    “Shut that hole in your face, Silvia!” Denise spat out angrily. “Who gave you the right to address E by her first name? How dare you im familiarity with us after all the spiteful things you and your evil friend have done? She is known as Mrs. Treshvire and you will do well to address her properly except you want a dirty p from me.”


    E smiled inwardly at Denise’s fierceness. She didn’t need to say much whenever Denise was around her. Denise was like a nursing mother lioness who would defend her cub with her dying breath. Also, Just like Denise, E had a strong feeling that Silvia was on a mission. Hence, she was eager to see the oue of the meeting.


    “Stand up Silvia and take a seat,” E said in a calm but firm tone. “State your mission here and why you said your life depended on it.”


    Sylvia stood up and walked towards E totally ignoring Denise’s deadly res. She sat down and adjusted the cor of her shirt.


    “Thank you, Mrs. Treshvire,” Silvia forced out a brief smile. She swallowed hard severally to calm her nerves and steady her pounding heart, before speaking up.


    “Due to the current state of my uncle and his indebtedness to the Robinsons, we stand a risk of losing everything my uncle had worked for. Frost is nowhere to be found and the new CEO is out for my neck.”


    “This is just the beginning of your misery. You’ve seen nothing yet,” Denise scoffed.


    “So how does that affect me,” E stared intently into Silvia’s eyes with a burning hatred.


    “As the only staff of thepany who is rted to one of the owners, I have been given an ultimatum to pay back the sum of two hundred million dors on behalf of my uncle.”


    “Is that the reason why you wanted to see me, to tell me all this rubbish? E lost her temper and red up. “You think I care what happens to you and your bloody uncle? Do you think I give a shit about what anyone wants to do with you? You must be clearly mistaken?” She paused for a while as she could sense that something was out of ce.


    “Denise, please get in touch with the security department, I want three security personnel sent here immediately.”


    “Sure!” Denise smartly used E’s inte to make the call.


    “Tell me truthfully Silvia, why exactly have youe here.” E carefully scrutinized Silvia’s behavior.


    Silvia’s erratically drumming heart quadrupled as she sensed imminent danger. This was due to the sophisticated button-sized micro camera that was discreetly and perfectly attached to her shirt. It was difficult to distinguish the ck button-like micro camera from the other ck buttons on her shirt.


    From the moment Silvia stepped foot into E’spany, she had been streaming a live video to her new boss.


    Due to E’s new line of scrutiny, Silvia knew that her time was up. So, she carefully slid her hand into her pant pocket, brought out a single white pill, and before E could sense her sudden movement, she threw the white pill into her mouth and swallowed it.
