Crystal looking at her watch and noticing how time had passed, told Simon that she had to leave as she had something very important to attend to.
The expression on Simon's face was not the best as she noticed that he was not happy with her leaving so she asked him what he was still doing at the cafe and if he had no work or business to do that morning.
Simon grinning as his cheeks became red, told Crystal how ambitious and concerned she still is about overwork and things that bring cash.
" Crystal laughing so hard reminded him that she is a manager and so her head has to work twice the normal rate and also it was not good seeing a fine young man sitting like this doing nothing this beautiful morning.
She hugged him and walked across the road where her car was parked and she heard Simon asking,
"How do I see you again next time Crystal?", he spoke out in a loud voice and Crystal told him not to bother as she was going to find him.
Simon smiled and remembered that he could look for her on social media platforms and locate where she lives.
He was super excited as he was going to meet with his woman crush again, but next time it is going to be in a more quiet and reserved place just for the two of them.
Crystal took the road again, as she headed for Blazes office striving to do something that will shake him off his hoofs so much so that he will ask from what planet she was created from.
Her diabolical smile could be seen from her last molar as she was already planing a huge scandal that will make him beg her to stop.
Her heart was crammed with so much hate each time she felt that she was approaching his enterprise.
" Crystal does not panic as you have gone through worst situations than this, and know that your pretty and innocent face has always saved you from situations that were worst than this so be confident in your little plan and you will get to have his full attention", she murmured while accelerating her car to go faster before Blaze could get something else that could make him leave the corporation and make her not to meet him there.
She could see the building of Blaze's enterprise as she took the right turn heading to the street where his. company was
Blaze is the owner of so many enterprises but this one, was the pillar of all the others so he mostly works there and goes to supervise the others when he has time he has people who are there to ensure the smooth running of the company.
Crystal had gathered all this information before going to meet with her victim before though she was the person who later became the victim.
"Here I am right in front of your office Mr. Blaze, and in some minutes, you will feel my wrath", she said as she parked her car and took a deep breath, she went down.
Walking towards the building, she pushed the glass doors making her way into one of them into the building.
She was wowed by the buildings set up as everything was well organized and neat with a lot of parole at the reception.
"Do all these belong to Blaze and his family?", she asked herself as she walked slowly using her eyes to screen the whole facility with her mouth opened.
His enterprise was twice as big as what she had imagined in her head. So big that her kate dad's company could not see anything behind his.
Turning around looking at every corner of the place, she was lost in the beauty of its magnificent overview that she could nig stop staring.
A staff that had noticed that she did not seem to know her way, walked to crystal and touched her from behind and with a friendly smile that could melt the strongest of hearts.
"Excuse me Ms., do you want any information on something?", he asked waiting to hear what she has to say to know how he could be if help to her.
Crystal coming back to herself said that she was looking for a certain Mr. Blaze who ones this company.
The staff looking at her asked if she was speaking of Mr. Blaze Jadiel?
She responded quickly and said that she had to meet with him.
He directed her to the receptionist desk asking her to talk with the receptionist as she was going to help her with the pieces of information that she was wanting.
Crystal Thanked him with a smile and her pretty and innocent face showed through the building as she walked away from him.
The staff could not stop but think about the beautiful lady who is at the same time very politely and educated.
Crystal walked to the receptionist's desk and saluted her while she introduced herself.
" Welcome to Jadiels Wine House, and how can I help you ma'am?", the receptionist asked as she paused for her response.
Crystal taking a deep breath said she came there to see Blaze and that it was urgent.
The receptionist asked if she had any appointment with him and she said that she had none but he will be pleased to see her.
She was not aware of what she was to do but she had just two options to see Blaze, and it was either she lied to meet with him, or she sits there and look keenly for when he will be out to get lunch or to go back home.
Crystal putting on a straight and serious face and without blinking an eye said to the receptionist that she needed to see Blaze and that she was not leaving from there without seeing him.
The receptionist already on alert told her not to cause any scandal in there as she will be forced to call on the security agents to come to take her out.
Crystal using her senses to screen the whole place and look for openings told her that it was not necessary but asked her where the restrooms were as she needed to make herself comfortable.
"You take the corridor to till the end, and you turn left the lavatory is just there Ms.", she responded.
Seeing the receptionist's face, she was not too sure about Crystal as she had approached her with a rather disturbing attitude.
As crystal left for the washroom, she called on Mike, one of the security agents that was a staff in the company to keep an eye on Crystal as her behavior was somewhat alarming.
Mike answered positively and followed her to see what her plans were to stop it before it creates a problem in the building and the company as a whole.
Crystal walked through the corridor, keeping her eyes wide open and making sure that her ears were as sharp as that of a vampire, hearing every conversation even through closed doors.
She had a feeling that someone was following her so she had to play her game well to be face to face with Blaze Jadiel.
Crystal kept on walking slowly and at the tiniest bit recourse that had presented itself to her, she faked a missed step and fell onto the ground.
The security agent that had been following her from behind, rushed to help her as he feared that she had badly injured herself.
" Ms., are you okay, what happened to you?", he asked and Crystal continued touching her ankle faking tears from her beautiful eyes.
The agent asked if she could walk and she said she could try, but when he managed to help her get on her feet, she crumbled again on the ground crying more louder this time.
The guard had fallen into her hitch as he told her not to panic and to wait for him to go get help from the clinic.
She nodded in agreement to what he had just said telling him to hurry as she could not bear the pain for another minute.
The security left her on the wall of the hallway going to call for a colleague to come to stay with her while he goes and gets the nurses to come and help her.
Crystal got up from where she was seated and changing her direction she went the other way and arranged herself as nothing had happened.
she totters on a staff working at the company and lied that she has been directed to the bosses office and it was like she missed her way.
"I think you are referring to Sir Jadiel right?", she asked politely.
Crystal answered immediately waiting for her. her to give an appropriate answer to her question.
The lady told her to take the lifter and to drop it on the second floor that is where she is going to find the boss's office.
Crystal thanked her and entered the lifter immediately following the indication that the lady had given.
Baze was in a meeting with his foreign investors and he was about to gain millions from the deal he was giving birth to as he was having control over the situation.
Crystal had programmed the lifter in such a way that, she was going to be left on the second floor itself.
The agent was at the reception and the receptionist seeing him alone and noticing how long Crystal had taken in the privy, decided to call on the agent to ask what had happened in there.
The agent came to her hurrying to have to the infirmary and the lady behind her desk asked why he was not in the company of the woman she asked him to keep an eye on, but he reported that she had fractured her ankle while walking in her heels so he was going to call on the company's nurse.
The lady not buying that story asked where she was and the agent told her that he had helped her by supporting her body against the wall at the path.
The lady told him to get one of his colleagues so that they could go get that lady from there as she is a crook.
The agent, wanting to dispute what the lady was telling him, asked how Crustal could be crook when he saw her himself almost falling from her heels.
The lady insisted that he should go there now and bring her outside.
Taking up the phone and placing a call, she alerted the secretary and other staff that there was an intruder in the building.
Crystal had already passed Blazes Secretary office and she had told her to wait on the visitor's seat in the hallway while Blaze finishes his meeting.
She had used her same skills to say that she will like to ease herself whereas she just wanted an opportunity to go to the meeting room.
By the time the receptionist was finally able to contact the secretary, Crystal had already found her way to blazes meeting with his board of directors and his investors.
The agent going to where he had left Crystal and not finding her there, came to realize that, what his colleague was saying was nothing but the truth but Crystal had already pushed the door of the office and she had gotten in there.
" Good morning ladies and gentlemen", Crystal said walking into the room, with a rayon smile that made most of the clients there lose focus at the sight of her beauty and innocence.
"Good morning to you pretty one", someone said from the others without thinking as he could not hold his lips from moving after seeing Crystal.
Crystal smiled and apologized for being late for the meeting.
The other staff and investors were confused as they had never seen her before in the company.
" We are sorry Ms., but are you new, or did you miss your way?", a staff asked looking at Blaze to say something in the face of such a despicable situation.
Blaze who had been keeping quiet not knowing what to say or do, lowered his head for a second then brought it up again asked in a loud voice what she was doing in his office.
Crystal laughing out loud, responded
"I came to see my sweetheart who has been avoiding me", she said moving from where she was standing to meet Blaze where he was seated.
The whole room was filled with whispering from one lip to the other wondering what a dilemma they were looking at and not knowing what Blaze was going to go do about it.
Crystal stood in front of the office and formally introduced herself,
" I am Crystal and I will be Blaze's wife in some weeks", she said with a wide smile on her cheeks that made everyone to be happy as they had never seen their boss with any lady before.
"Mr. Blaze, I must admit that you have great taste she is very beautiful and sexy", one of the investors said laughing and turning to his colleague closer to him.
" Yes she is, and her skin is so perfect", another added.
Blaze could not believe that Crystal was in front of him, making ridicule of him.
"Blaze Jadiel Williams, you are going to be mine and there is nothing anyone will do about it", Miranda was hatching a plan to get back Blaze no matter what it might cost her.
She smoked her cigarette, puffing out the smoke like a chimney while she closed her eyes as she was feeling the taste of the cigarette go down her joints.
She has been waiting in the dark for so long and she had noticed that no one could give her the kind of money that Blaze use to give her.
She was ready to plan into place any kind of plan just to get him to accept her again.
Phone rings...
" Hello, sir, Mr. Bassey is here to see you, sir, can I let him in?", the secretary asked as she heard her boss's breath over the phone.
Maxwell gave her the go-ahead to let him in as Bassey is his friend and business associate.
He walked into Max's office, and they both shake hands as they laughed at the top of their voices.
"Good morning my friend, how are you doing today?", Bassey asked Max who had been sitting in his office lost in his own game that he was playing.
Max with a decoy smile, said that he had been coping though not easy.
Massey went further to ask about his niece Crystal and narrated to Max how he had seen her the other day come out of the mall looking so beautiful and radiant that he could not resist the temptation of calling her but he had to suppress the urge as she was family
Both men chuckled at the hearing of what Bassey had said.
Max agreed to what he had just said as Crystal had grown into a fine woman and that was why he was using her as his tool to get whatever he wanted without anyone suspecting him.
"Hope all is well with you Max because I have noticed an unusual behavior in you since I walked in, are you having any issues that could be addressed?", Bassey asked leaning on the table with the help of his two arms supporting his weight on them.
Max breathing in as though he had been lacking air, spoke out like the whole world was on his shoulder.
" I do have a problem and that is my niece", he let out.
Yes, Max has also noticed the weird behavior his niece had been putting up towards him and he was being to feel like he was pushing her so much.
"What had she done this time Max?", his friend asked taking out a packet of cigarettes from the pocket of his jacket, putting it in between his lips, as he reach out for the cigarette lighter in his coat and lighted his cigarette.
He placed himself in a comfortable position to better listen to Max narrate what the problem was with him.
Max looking at the ceiling of his office with a serious look, wallowed in anguish as he was going to be very sad if Crystal came to realize what he has been using her to do and eventually stop doing it.
Bassey waited patiently for what he had to say while smoking his cigarette and tapping the ashes into the cigarette crock on Max's table.
With a deep breath of exasperation, Max began to speak out about what was happening.
He explained to Bassey how Crystal had failed a task given to her for the first time in her life and that was very disturbing.
" What could have happened for her not to have carried out her complete task?", Max continued to ask in total confusion as he looks at his friend in the eyes.
Bassey who had been listening to him asked what exactly had happened and Max narrated the last incident Crystal had with Blaze telling him that, she came with a briefcase filled with papers cut in the form of money and she had not even realized it full I had opened briefcase at home.
Bassey wore a worried look as he heard the words from his friend's mouth.
"Maybe she has finally found out that, you are just using her for your selfish gains", he said looking at his friend's reaction.
Max blinking his eyes like he had not heard what his friend had said, places his both hands on the table and lowers his head to rest in between them, he responded,
" I do not think that she has found out about my schemes because if she had done so, she would have confronted me already as my niece is not someone to hide what she thinks or feels".
