The Secret 15
“Yes. I am through with him. Father, do not bother yourself about Uncle Stephen and his hired assassins. We will fish them out and deal with them.”
Now, Mr. Author Bailey was relieved that the story had changed from him and Louis. Then, he informed.
“He was at the house yesterday with his family head.”
Denise showed resentment before he asked.
“What did they come to do?”
“They came to tender their apologies.”
“Just like that? He will have to come with the assassins, that is the only way we would be certain that he had repented.”
As he was talking, he was dialing his number at once, and his phone began to ring. When Mr. Stephen saw his call, his adrenaline began to run high. He was lost of the right thing to do at that time. Whether to ignore the call and incur more of their fury or pick and get verbal berating. Then, after a quick deliberation, he picked and Denise went straight to the point.
“Stephen, your stupid apologies would not be accepted if you do not come along with the wolves. I would like to see the four of you latest by Saturday morning. Bye.”
After Denise cut the call unceremoniously, Mr. Stephen Bailey ran his hand on his head before he looked at his phone again. Then, he mumbled.
“If only I know where to get them.”
Then, Denise looked at his father and said.
“We cannot accept his apologies when the enemies we do not know would be going about freely.”
“I got your point, son. Let us see what he would come up with on Saturday. Besides, I intend to report the matter to the police.”
“That is good. I will take my leave.”
“It is okay. See you later.”
At the Government Hospital
Mrs. Nichole Bailey and Zoey drove into the premises and parked at the car park. They got off the car and looked at Lorene Walker’s car stand and discovered that it was empty. Then, Nichole pointed out.
“What about Evelyn Whyte? Is she on leave ?”
“I have been wondering too. Maybe she is on leave.”
“It is okay. But that must be too sudden because she returned from her leave a few months ago.”
Afterwards, they walked to their offices and settled down. Then, Olivia and Freya arrived as planned. At the gate, Lorene’s car was blocking other vehicles from coming in. She dared to come to work that day because the suspension was not acceptable to her. Besides, she believed that she had destabilized Mrs. Nichole Bailey with her internet post, which she was not aware that it was no longer in circulation. For that reason, the verdict of the committee would be revisited. Now, the Security Men attempted to stop her, but she insisted on going into the premises at all cost.
“Open the gate, if you don’t want my trouble.”
She yelled at the Security Men.
“Madam, please leave. You are not to be seen in the premises until after six months.”
Now, Olivia, who parked behind her was becoming inpatient, honked. Likewise, the security became upset when he looked up and saw six vehicles behind her and spoke to her again.
“You are disrupting the smooth flow of the traffic.”
Lorene ignored him because she believed that he would not have any choice than to let her in. Nevertheless, the Chief of the Security came up with an idea. He opened the exit gate and allowed the motorists to drive in. When it was Olivia’s turn to drive in, Lorene tried to reverse abruptly to follow her bumper to bumper that she almost barged Olivia’s car. Luckily, Olivia had gotten access to the premises before she could reverse, and the gatekeepers locked the gate.
“She would have bought a new car today if she had scratched your car.”
Freya pointed out. They drove to the visitor’s car park and parked before proceeding to their mother’s office. Now, some of Nichole’s colleagues who were at the Olivia and Denise Wedding were thrilled when they saw Olivia with pregnancy. Freya greeted them happily while she looked out for Lorene. She was not aware that she was the woman who would have barged their car. Subsequently, they arrived at their mother’s office, and she was surprised to see them.
“Wow! Freya and Olivia. I am happy to see you.”
“Good day mom. How is work?”
“Work is fine. Please take your seats.”
They took their seats at once, and Nichole asked.
“What brings you?”
Now, Freya took time to tell her about the internet post. Then she curiously requested.
“Kindly show me the post.”
Freya showed her the post from her device and she began to go through. Afterwards, Freya asked.
“Mom, what happened?”
Mrs. Nichole Bailey gave them a rundown of what transpired between Lorene and Zoey. Then Freya requested.
“Mom, can I see her? I want to find out what she meant by ugly duckling.”
Nichole smiled and said.
“There is no need. She is on suspension and I don’t think the security men would allow her into the premises even if she decided to come to show up.”
Then Freya looked at Olivia who was busy with her system and asked.
“I hope she was not the nurse who was parked in front of us at the gate that the security denied access.”
“What color of car was that?”
“Mom. It was a gray car.”
“That is it. She was the person.”
Meanwhile, Olivia’s device had dictated that there was a secret camera in the office, and she carefully pointed out.
“Mom. You would have checked the CCTV to find out all that happened in your office while you were away.”
“Oh! My God. I completely forgot that I asked Denise and Phil to install a camera for me before I left for Egypt. Can we watch the footage?”
At the Bailey International Conglomerate
After Olivia drove into the hospital premises, Lorene Walker rained curses on the security guards before she turned and drove off. Now, her last card was to get hooked up with one of the respected men in Dover, and she would put the pieces of her life together. Besides, that would give her an edge over Nichole, who was rejected by the reputable man and was married to an ugly duckling.
“He must be back from his trip by now.”
She remarked as she drove along.
