Why deceive me??

I was so thrilled about how I succeeded in making Damon mad with my words.

"Who would have thought my lies will turn out to be true."

I was so carried away in my thoughts, that I was daydreaming about how my life and that of my mother will turnaround out for good if I were to be married to a real big shot in the country.

I immediately came back to reality when my phone buzzed and it was a message sent by my bestie.

"Babes the address for the lunch reunion is at Emerald intercontinental hotel. See you soon." I smiled after reading the text.

I was so famished, that I decided to go down to the kitchen and prepare a sandwich and a cup of coffee for myself.

On getting downstairs from my room, I thought I overheard a noise. When I got closer, I realized it was the two housekeepers gossiping about how Damon has changed dramatically from being a cold water to a warm and open-hearted boss. Immediately they saw me, they were thrown into disarray and were speechless for a moment or two. I smiled toward them and said, "I will ask him to go back to his former self since that's the personality you people miss, am I, right honey?" They were scared of losing their source of livelihood. "Please ma, we will never gossip ever again but we beg you don't report us to Mr. Damon." They said begging frantically.

I smiled and replied to them saying, "you have nothing to fear. I love the atmosphere around him and how happy you guys are late."

Immediately I finish saying my mind to them, I walked straight to the kitchen and was about to prepare my sandwich and coffee, when Estella rushed in and said, "Please miss Katie, I wouldn't love to lose my job." "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Mr. Damon. Restricted you from doing anything other than eating, shopping, exercising, and sleeping in this mansion." She smiled and replied to my question.

I was trying to say something, but I was rendered speechless by her words.

"Miss Katie. Just tell any of the housekeepers what your orders are, and it will be settled immediately. But if you still insist on doing anything of your own accord, we will lose our source of livelihood." She said with a smile.

"Oh, ok. Please prepare a cup of coffee and a sandwich for me." I smiled and walked back to my room. After about seven minutes, Estella came knocking on my door with my appetizer.

At exactly quarter past twelve, I took my bath and was getting ready for the reunion. I was skeptical about the dress to put on, but could not arrive at anyone.

I immediately called Estella into my room since she happens to be a fashionista and a stylist.

"I am confused about what to wear for the launch Estella," I said blushing.

"Ok. Try this red velvet gown on." She said with a smile.

I tried the gown on, and it was so beautiful on me. My slender legs were visible up to my right thigh because of the design of the gown.

She also picked a black handbag and a black pin-pointed hills for me to wear.

"Wow, you look gorgeous miss Katie," Estella said.

I blushed and said thank you.

I was going downstairs when my phone buss and picked up the call knowing who the caller is.

"Babes, what's up?" I asked

"Hope you are on your way already" she replied to my question.

"I will be there in less than five minutes," I said just to avoid many lectures on time management.

As I approach the entrance, I saw a red Maserati MC20 parked with a customized number plate.

One of the guards walked up to me and said. "Miss Katie. Mr. Damon instructed that if you must go for the launch reunion, you must ride in that car." He said pointing at the Maserati.

I was a bit angry as to why must he dictate how I run my affairs. But I instantly remembered how I gave him cold shoulder in the morning.

"Hahahahaha." Tell your boss his gift is well accepted and I will make nice use of it. And again tell him to send a driver to come to pick me up later because I will be dead drunk.

I know he deliberately sends the car so that, I will refuse to ride in it and the guards should hinder me from going out.

I majestically walked to the car, and a guard help to open the door for me to get in.

Immediately, I stepped on the gas pedal and zoomed off out of the mansion. My instincts tell me Damon will dispatch at least a dozen of guards to trail my movement knowing his paranoia over my safety.

On my way to the hotel, I decided to park my car before I get to the entrance to avoid the paparazzi from cooking up fake stories about me.

As I got to the emerald intercontinental hotel, I stopped at the gate and asked a security guard to park the car for me. Two security guards rushed over to park the car when their supervisor asked them to go back to their post and offered to park the car himself.

The supervisor took out his phone and ask one of the guards around to snap him inside the car. I smiled and walked towards the entrance on foot.

Before I approached the entrance, the security supervisor came running towards me with the car keys with a smile.

I told him, "thanks for the helping hand.." I said smiling and gave him a tip of one hundred dollars.

I walked to the entrance of the hotel and behold, many of my old-time friends and foes were chattering and laughing at one another.

Immediately I came into a slight, a lady spoke out with a loud voice to attract others' attention and said, "Look who's coming for a reunion on foot. You shouldn't have forced yourself to come for this reunion." She said sarcastically.

I was stunned for a moment before I retaliated by saying "I never thought I will ever see your beautiful face again. Aria" I said sarcastically.

I intentionally mentioned her beautiful face because of the scar on her face. She got the scar during our college days when she tried snatching her friend's boyfriend.

She was so mad immediately she heard my words directed at her scarred face. But she was rendered speechless because everyone present still remembered the incident that brought the scar and how her friendship with her childhood friend was ruined because of jealousy.
