Chapter 126: Chapter 126

Dante face was free from any emotions, he has this dark aura around him, when he enter the administrative office.

What happened here? That was the first question he asked, the staff is confused and scared at the same time, Dante anger is like fire, no one could withstand the heat from his fire.

I am sorry sir, I don't understand. The staff asked in anxiety, she is scared, that Dante might get really mad.

Fine then, what did you do to Barbara, when she came to drop those documents? Did you two fight? Did you say things to upset her?

His staff shakes her head in fear, she really didn't do anything to Barbara. No, I swear, I didn't say anything to her, we only discuss about the documents, before she left, she even invited me to her father's resort.

Are you lying to me? Dante voice is cold and stern. He couldn't bring himself to believe her, everything about Barbara change as soon as she returns from this office.

Probably, check the CCTV footage, that will confirm that I did nothing to her.

Good then! He stormed out of the administrative office then head to the security unit, he was checking the CCTV footage at the CCTV control room.

He realized that the administrative staff is speaking the truth but he is still not convinced that nothing happened right there at the company to make her mood swings

Dante decided to look further he got the shock of his life, the other staffs were badmouthing her, he had seem her passed through the hallway, they were really saying hurtful words about her, he clenched his fist, he really is mad at them, how could they call her desperate bitch.

He didn't wait to get calm, he is boiling and he needed to burn someone, the staffs where shock to see him, right in same floor with them.

You all are here to work not to gossip about anyone personal life. This will be the last warning, of any ill-mannered behavior right in this company. Dante voice is filled with authority and anger.

Don't you dare speak evil about Barbara. My relationship with her as nothing to do with you all, you should respect her, just as you respect me, she is not a desperate bitch

For the record, she didn't come here to chase after me, if you need that she is seducing me then you are mistaking because I am in love with her.

Everyone goes silent, hearing him declaring that he is in love with her, is like a bomb.

Yes, I am the one in love with her, I am not engage to anyone, fine, Shirley and I relationship are different, so don't drag this into it, like I said, I will not tolerate it anymore, not now, not even in the future, not to forget, every offender deserve a punishment and your punish is that your salaries will be cut.

After saying that, Dante turned and left, the staffs where shock, he hardly get mad, now he is mad, they received a share of their punishment, reduction of salary, no one will ever think of badmouthing Barbara again.

Their face are full with regrets, what if Dante is not just blabbing? He might not be in love with the girl, yet they don't care, they should learn to mind their business.

*****

At the Calvin's resort, Calvin blood is pulping.

Father!

Claudia, what have you done, how could you signed such a huge amount of contract now we have been defraud.

What? Claudia grabbed the documents, showing the transfer of seven hundred million dollars. Oh no! Barbara...

What do you mean Barbara?

Father, I was trying to reach you when those investors arrived and I was told you are not available, so I called Barbara..

What? Barbara signed.... His words stop, he look throw the window, he grabbed his phone.

Father!

You should stay right here. Calvin instructed Claudia as he makes his way out. Claudia watched him hurry out, been the carefree girl she is, she sit then pick her phone, she is calling Derrick.

Did it go well? That was his first words, the previous night they had lure Barbara into sighing the documents, pretending that sir Calvin's is not available.

As soon as she received the call, she hurry out to attend to the investors, the investors where in a hurry, so she read just the front of the documents, she didn't bother about the others, she only read the front, not knowing that the others are defrauding and to think she imprint her signature on every one of the documents.

At first Claudia was really scared, when Derrick bring that idea, she was uneasy with it, she was really scared because Barbara is the smart one between the two of them.

Are you there? Derrick asked, not hearing a word from her, she was lost in her own thoughts, how easy and fast that the money was removed from the company purse.

Yes, he had seem it, he is mad but then he rush out, but not to worry, father is definitely going to get mad at her, I know he is going to throw her out for been stupid.

Isn't that what you wanted? Derick asked.

Of cause, I really want to see her beg on the street and for dad to get really mad at her.

Are you happy now?

Yes, I am very happy, I didn't get to pretend that I really want to be in my dad's company because I want to be a workaholic, I just can't wait to leave this country with my money, so when am I getting my money? I will send you my account soon

Come on Claudia, you don't want that huge amount on your account, now that this issue is fresh and know your dad will kill you, if anything should link to you.

Fine, let's just keep it low, you shouldn't touch my money, I could kill for my money, you should...

Stop it, I have my own money, I am not going to touch it.

Good, thank you!

You welcome, I love you. Derrick said, she didn't reply, she drop the phone.

You are out of my life as soon as I get my money, I will never love you, a man supposed to love me not the other way round, I will never be like my mother, I will always take the lead in every relationship. Still in her thought, her phone ring, she look at it, it's from her mother. Oh mother, why is she coming now?

****

Pick your call. Hazel sighed in frustration, Claudia press the end button, she is not in the mood of talking to her mother. Claudia! What is wrong with you? Hazel hit her phone on the wall, she pushed her hair back in frustration.

Ma! Are you alright?

Get lost, I want to be left alone. Her driver bow then leave her, Hazel really want to be left alone, she hate her life, hearing those words from the woman in jail, Hazel is the elderly woman in the hoodie that visited Camille Kyle, she felt betrayed, her husband's illegitimate daughter is right under same roof with her, she had been caring for her even though, she doesn't love Barbara, at least, she was a mother figure to Barbara.

She gulped the entire bottle of alcohol, she is in pain, she just want to forget her sorrows, she want to be left alone, she wish for death right now, how will she be able to send Barbara away, when Calvin is her father.

Barbara will always be in their life, she will always have a share in the Calvin's property, she will never be able to pushed Barbara from their life, if she can't send Barbara out then she will look for a new way to erase her existence.
