Chapter 91: Chapter 91

You why did you kissed me? It simple, you are smiling like a madman. Craig said, Gregory sighed. What is wrong with you? You needed to see your look, when you were standing in there.

Let me be, I am just so happy that Whitney still have some feelings left for me.

Really? Did she say she love you?

Shut up! She didn't but she let me kissed her.

What?

Yes, can you stop screaming. Sorry, so you two are good now?

No oh! She didn't reply me before that stupid fiance of hers came.

Wait; I heard that they are both not truly engaged, she is acting to be his fiancee because of his mother.

Really? Gregory said. Yes but I haven't really confirm it and what happened to your hand? Gregory fall his face. Silly boy, you hurt yourself because of her.

Enough, and that reminds me, Cathy is not wearing ring. Craig smile, he walk in front of Gregory.

How did your date go with Cathy? She said, I am the worse date, any girl could have.

Why? Where did you take her? Gregory asked, he run his hand in his neck. Go on. Stop asking, you are just going to laughed at me.

No, tell me, I promise not to laugh.

Fine, no where, we walk, talk and ended up in a pavement. Gregory titter, he frown. No food, no flowers, no serenade, no special place....

Stop it, I have heard alot of that lecture, so don't lecture me more.

You really are a bad date. I know,so let me be. Gregory laughed more, as they both enter the suit, Zoe and Jane are really mad.

Could you imagine that low life telling me about all the achievement that Whitney had, how she won different award for the company, how she carried out a multi million contact all alone, I hated myself for going on that date with him, he was comparing me to that bitch

Gregory and Craig look at each other. You should be happy that he wasn't all crazy about her, there is never a single statement from his mouth that didn't invite that proud peacock, he want to go home on time, he doesn't want her to be lonely, Roe was practically telling me not to smoke.

Not to smoke? Craig asked all confused, he is aware that Roe is a Chain smoker

Yes, he said, he is stopping it little by little not because of Catherine's condition but because she doesn't like smoker. Craig nodded in frustration, Jane walked to Gregory.

My love, I hope you didn't treat that low life bitch well?

We didn't have...

What did that bitch do to you? She hurt your hand only few minutes with you?

Let me be, I hurt my hand myself not she, so stop talking nonsense.

He is darting to his room, so do Craig. And you, where did you go with that proud peacock?

No where, so stop having ideas on your head.

So you stay with her in there, all alone? Stop it, I have been with her under same roof for days, but nothing happened between us.

Craig yelled at Zoe, as he go behind Gregory her eyes fall on his back. Did you carry that stupid girl on your back? Craig froze as Zoe said the word. It's obvious, she leaves a dent on it, a dent of her makeup.

Let me be. Craig said and dart inside, Gregory go behind him.

This boy is daring me, I will teach him a lesson, that he will not forget.

What are you going to do? Jane asked her. Don't worry, when I am done, everyone will know.

Zoe dart to her room as well, Jane has no choice than to sit on the couch

What is wrong with Zoe? She is so annoying. Craig is complaining, Gregory is trying to dress his wound.

Let me help you and how did you end up hurting your hand?

I get mad because Whitney is talking on the phone with someone, I don't know, I get frustrated and mistakenly hit the glass on the table. Craig titter. Stop it.

Fine, I will stop but don't hurt yourself like this again.

Noted. Gregory said, Craig pick his phone and sighed badly. You, what is it? I wrote my number on the water I gave her but up on till now, she haven't called.

Silly, you could had just asked for her number?

Did I know if she will give me? I never even thought that, she could still be friendly to me.

Did you do anything to her? You are not Tony.

I know but she is cold towards me.

Yes! Gregory throw file at him. What is this? Craig asked. Do something reasonable and stop talking about people's wife.

Craig titter, he pick the files, start working on it.

The next morning, they were back at the conference, Gregory had his first talk, it was smooth, Gregory is really intelligent, the presenter also introduce Casper, his talk was also splendid, Craig is looking at Cathy, all of a sudden he started writing, Cathy is aware that, Craig is writing for her

After writing he gum it to the cold water container, she looks at it and read. Did you see it?

See what? She write for him. My number. He wrote back. Yes!

Then why did you not call? He wrote it bold, she was opposite him, Whitney notice what is going on, she was watching the both of them.

With which card? Cathy write for him. Yours?

Craig said! Sir, what do you have to say to others aviation company coming up and if Nigeria school should be trusted when it comes to studying aviation? The question is directed to Craig, Gregory hit him

As he end his words, he goes back to writing for her.

Craig smile, he wants to asked again, she just nodded.

Good girl! He said it out loud, everyone in the table look at him, Cathy just fall her face to the table.

Craig, who are you calling good girl? Gregory asked him, he run his hand on his neck.

No one, I just remembered Eve. Oh! You should concentrate, he nodded, Cathy raise her.

Liar! She didn't say a word, she just move her mouth, Craig smile, Whitney also smile, Cathy is really a devil.

Noon break start, Whitney is struggling to get information on how to make her proposal appealing to the investor who is coming the next day.

Let me help you? Gregory said to Whitney. I don't need your help.

But you just can't get it right.

How is it your business? Whitney voice wasn't friendly, he run his hand on his neck and the next thing, he snatch the laptop from her.

What is wrong with you? I just want to help. And I said I don't need your freaking help. She try to get it, Gregory wink at her, Jane saw the act.

Really? So you are flirting with my fiance? They said give a pig one yard in your Paradise, they take thousand of millions, I let you go on a date with him and the next thing, you are seducing him.

I am not seducing him, I was...

Really? Maybe, you should tell everyone that you are a seducer. Whitney tears drop. Hello everyone, I need your attention. Whitney tears drop, Cathy is watching them, everyone is focus on Jane that is standing close to Whitney and Gregory.

Sorry for wanting to take little of your noon break, I want to tell you all a little story, the story is about a girl called Whitney.

Craig mouth drop open, he look at Whitney who is crying beside Gregory.

Miss Jane, this is not a children class where you tell then bed time story. Cathy said, Roe, held his head, Catherine is so nosy.

Come on, don't you know all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, so a little fun, will not kill, right all? Jane asked

Of cause. People in the Hall answer, this give Jane's permission to go on. So as I was saying before Mrs Roe interrupt, the title of my story is social climbers, in the story there is a girl called Whitney, she used...

Cathy clenched her fist, Roe look at her. This girl is daring me, I will make her cry now. Cathy said. No Catherine, don't meddle. Roe try to put her in check.

I am not meddling, I just want to teach her lesson. She said to Roe. Oh! Since it's story time, I will help my ally. She walked to where Jane is, she place her hand on her shoulder, Jane clenched her fist, Gregory is sweating like mad.

In this story, there is a girl called, Whitney as my ally said, and there are also two more girls, they Happen to bear same name with my beloved ally Jane and that cute girl's name Zoe. She point at Zoe, Craig look at Zoe who is sitting beside him.

What does this got to do me? She asked all defensive.

The three went to a contest, to be specific, a beauty contest, one of them fall out on the way, which happens to bear same name with that friend of mine. She point at zoe and the contest was left with two girls, Whitney and Jane.

Don't forget, is not this two people, is just a coincidence that they bear same name, a question was answer at the contest but my ally here. She touch Jane shoulder.

Not this girl, is just that, since the name are same, it's easy for me to just touch her, not forgetting that the other girl who is bearing my beloved friend's name over there, that was evicted, she was in the audience. Pointing to Zoe

Hope, you all are not confused? Cathy asked.

No! Some of the female replied her. Good, now, Jane was looking at her friend Zoe, for assistance...

That is not true, you all, don't listen to her, she is telling lies, I never intended to help anyone. Zoe yelled.

Hey, why are you taking it personal? I only said that, it's same name not...

Mrs Roe, why are you trying to deserve this people here? Jane lashed out on Cathy.

Sorry, did you do that during the contest? She asked indifferent, Roe shake his head, Jane tears drop.

Don't listen to her. Jane yelled, she run out, Zoe look at Cathy and then run after Jane

Anyways, that is the end of my story, the main reason of telling this story is not to put anyone down, it's just that, we all are social climbers, we need one another to climb to our success.

Mr Bill, a black Americans, who had spend almost all his life in Nigeria, applaud her. Mr Roe, your wife has a good sense of humor. Mr Bill said, Roe smile, Cathy walk to him.

You see, everyone like the story. Cathy said, Whitney smile, Casper is watching the whole event, he found himself admiring Cathy.

She is beautiful. He said to himself, he shake his head. She is not my type, she is too bold to control.

He is talking to himself, Whitney hurry out.

Roe, please give me some minutes, I will be back. Roe nodded, Cathy go behind her, Craig follow out of curiosity.

Cathy! Whitney call and hugged, as they both enter the watch room.

Silly girl, don't you know how to defend yourself? That naughty Casper, is using you to make money and forget to teach you how to defend yourself.

But you are here to defend me? I will not always be here, you should not cry for that stupid brat, the next time, I see you share tears because of that girl, I will slapped my hands across your face.

Noted, so are you going to teach me? Of cause, I will teach you before I return to the state.

You don't live in Nigeria? I thought, Casper invited you to Abuja?

Go slow baby girl, if my company gets the contract, then I will stay for awhile but if not, then I and Roe will go back.

So you really love your husband? Cathy laughed. What is funny? Whitney asked her.

You are, I am not married, why will I get married without George?

So you are not married? Yes, I am not, I am not even interested in marriage. Whitney phone ping.

Casper is looking for me, I should go. Alright, be careful. Whitney nodded and hurry out, Craig enter the washroom, when Cathy raise her head, Cathy eyes meet Craig

Geez!

Can you stop shouting, I am not doing anything to you.

What are you doing in female washroom? It's simple, I follow you, I just wanted to know what naughty things, you are teaching that innocent girl again

Oh! so you are telling me that I am a bad influence?

I don't know

How will you know, when you are a dummy. Craig eyes bulge out. You should close them abit, they are like puppy's eyes.

You really want me to spank you.

Can you spank me? Cathy place her hand on her waist, Craig was staring at her hand. What are you staring at? Craig eyes bulge out, he is looking at her hand to see if he can find ring on it

Nothing!

You really are a dummy?

Cathy!

Sorry, dummy! She grimace, Craig held her hand. sorry!

You will call me later, right?.

I will think about it. She wink at him and left, Craig smile.

It's true, she doesn't have ring, that means they are not married. He goes back to the hall, as Whitney is going back, Gregory dragged her into the male washroom.

Who are you? Let me...

Shh! It's me. Gregory said, she withdrew her hand from him.

What do you want?

Sorry, I wasn't able to help you back there, and sorry for Jane's action.

It's okay, Cathy has help me, so bye.

Wait, I said sorry right.

If you are sorry, you will stay away from me. Will you keep quiet, I just want to help you, let me explain it for you.

I said... Gregory lock his lips with hers. Idiot! She hit his legs. Don't do that to me and I don't freaking want your help.

If you don't let me do it, maybe, you will prefer this again to that. He point at his lips and then the laptop.

Fine, go on. He explained to her, in few minutes, he is done, he had help her shape the proposal.

Thanks!

She said as she is going, he pulled her back and kissed her deeply, in few seconds, all her lips balm is on his.

Silly, don't do that next time. Whitney said pushing him, when they return to the hall, the conference continued, Whitney's eyes bulge out, all her lips balm her on Gregory, she became restless

What is it Whitney? Casper asked her. Nothing! It's nothing!

She rest her head in the table, Cathy raised her head, she noticed that Gregory's lips is cover with Lip's balm

Shit! She curse under her breath, she looks at Craig but he is not looking at her, she pick her pen then write.

Lips balm. She stretch her legs under the table and hit Craig's leg slightly.

Ouch! He yelled slightly.

Sorry! Cathy said like she is concerned, as he looks at her, she show him, he wipe his lips fast.

This boy, is such a dummy. She said to herself and write again. Gregory!

Zoe as notice that Craig and Cathy are communicating, she also turned, she notice the lip balm on Gregory, she wants to tell Jane, but Craig beat her to it, he pulled Gregory to himself.

Wipe your lips, it's has lip balm. Gregory wipe in a hurry, Zoe sighed, it's obvious that the balm is for Whitney because her lips are plain now.

Whitney breath out and look at Cathy, she Move her lips without making sounds.

Thanks!

Instead of Cathy to let it passed she wants to say something else, she wants to asked her, if she kiss Gregory, Craig look at her, she smiled and fall her face.

The conference for that day came to an end, Ian drove them to their suit, Jane is feeling really bad because of the way Cathy embarrass her.

I go to my room. She said. Is it... Zoe try to ask her about the incident but she doesn't want to be reminded of it.

No! I am just tired. She dart to the room, Zoe also left, she too is in a bad mood.

Craig and Gregory are at the room, Gregory is working on a file, Craig is looking at his phone.

This girl, I feel like spanking her.

Who did you want to spank? Gregory asked him.

Cathy of cause.

If you are not crazy, you would had asked for her number and not write it in some stupid container, here, you should work on that file and stop thinking of people's wife

Gregory throw a file at him, he sighed and get it, Cathy just finished eating, Roe is sleeping already, he is way too tired.

I should call this naughty boy before he disturb me tomorrow. She pick her phone. No, I will just text him.
