Chapter 125

"HOW MAY WE HELP YOU NATALIA RAMOS???" Adam asked alongside me in a very angry tone.

"Easy....I come in peace..." She lifted her hands and stood up. She pulled her jacket down and fastening her button.

"Peace?? You?? Tsk. Make it quick please....." I sat down opposite to her and crossed my legs and arms ready for her to make a move.

"How are you Eleanor? I was in Sweden when I heard about what happened.....how are you???" She faked a sympathetic look and stared at me. Her hair was perfectly pressed and pulled into a low ponytail at the back of her head. She was wearing a beautiful, wide-sleeve, surplice, black blouse which matched with the black leather skirt she was wearing.

If I saw right, she had Manolo Blahnik branded red stiletto heels on her feet which matched her lipstick. Natalia was a doughface but when it came to colour combinations and fashion, I secretly adored her. I looked at Adam and he looked back at me, shaking his head, refusing me from believing what Natalia had to say.

"Come on...believe me.....I...." She continued but I cut her midway.

"What were you doing in Sweden...??" I asked curiously.

"Oh...." She sat up and ran her hands behind her ears, nervously and chuckled. "Totally business unrelated.....I went to see my brother....he lives there since last year...."

"Look here Natalia .....you're the worst agency I've ever seen. How dare you not even lift a finger in all the issues that were happening to Eleanor...??? She almost lost her life and you guys did nothing about it....now you have the nerve to come and ask how she is????" Adam's voice echoed the entire room and I saw Natalia shiver in fear. I also trembled in my feet because I never saw it coming.

"What have you done for her exactly except being the pig that's gone fat over her hard work???" I immediately covered my mouth with my hands in shock after what Adam said.

"Mr Jenner...please...."

"Don't 'Mr Jenner' me....let's be honest here. In your sane self what exactly have you done for her except painting her face with your hand prints ?? And on top of that...that doughbag co-CEO friend of yours actually traded an opportunity with sex. Are you kidding me??? Is this how you guys repay her???"

"Mr Jenner your anger is justified but believe me this is what I've been saying her from...."

"Save?? Oh baby you ain't saved a thing...." I laughed and uncrossed my legs. Was she kidding me? Save? What exactly did she save? Who did she really think she was by bursting into my house like that and talking all this nonsense? God,she had some nerve.

And the worst part is she shows up now when the fire has subsided. Where was she when the actual drama was happening?? In Sweden as she said, visiting relatives and having fun in the snow while I was here suffering and fighting for my life. Now she shows up and all she says is sorry. Oh my word. The anger in me was rising and I could feel my stitches fall from my forehead. My brain was expanding and all the tension had spread to my arms and legs readening then for either a slap or kick.

"By the way, isn't my contract already expired???" I asked curiously. "I remember you were on and on about it expiring and here we are now....hasn't it???"

"Nice question babe..." Adam stretched his hand for a fist bump and I gladly satisfied it.

"Wow.....that's on me... definitely on me. Look Eleanor....I admit....I took the wrong approach but believe me when I say I was protecting you. Every other model in the agency, Elroy had already tasted them all. Day after day, he booked many reservations with each one of them until there's was no one left ...but you. I admire you, Eleanor. I really do...I didn't want him to exploit you like that that's why I chose that approach to tray and chase you away from our agency. When I found that Drake offered to sponsor you as from a private agency, I was excited for you because that was a sick opportunity...."

"But you never implied it....."

"Because this is showbiz, honey. You just don't go and air your tears to everyone....it's kill or get killed Eleanor you know that very well...."

"Okay..fair enough...thank you for laying out Elroy's dirty laundry in the open like that. It's unfortunate he wasn't here personally to defend himself ....." Adam shrugged his shoulders and I looked at him almost laughing. He was such a good actor. There he was acting like he didn't know anything about it.

"I know...poor thing...the doctors said he's going to be bedridden for as long as it takes until he gets his normal functionality back. Whenever that is ...." She said sadly. If at all she even meant that.

"You know what ....sometimes I wish your name was Natasha so then I'd call you Black widow....you know...from the Avengers but screw that.....just because you portrayed Elroy in the negative light it doesn't mean we're going to trust you. You're still a fox and God is be a fool to trust one....." Adam sat back and crossed his leg on top of the other. I moved close to him and curled my arms around him. It made me feel good when he defended me like that.

"To be honest, I am the only one who can help you right now Eleanor. In truth....all these other companies will only run to you now because they want to use you and make money following your recently uprisen fame. But am here for serious business. I know exactly how to help you hence forth..." She went on and on and I looked at Adam, awaiting his decision.

"Oh really???? Now you show up in a white gown and think we'll mistake you for an angel....Jesus...." Adam placed his arm around me and pecked my nose.

I knew for sure no one would dare to touch me knowing Adam was with me. He was my Krypton knight. My very own Clark Kent from Krypton..is it? I think so.

With him I knew I was safe. He was my Kanga and I was his Roo. I rested my head on his shoulder and kissed his neck.

"You don't have to be afraid okay??" He asked and I nodded.

"I won't" I replied and Adam sat up almost giving me a kiss when Natalia faked a cough.

"What's the matter?? Is this getting to you???" Adam asked in a tone that was meant to piss her off.

"No...!!" She replied quickly and defensively.

"The tea has too much sugar perhaps.....??" I asked and I laughed with Adam the next second. Oh man this was fun.

"If I knew I was going to waist my time here, I wouldn't have bothered to come....." She glared at us angrily and got up to leave.

"Wait!"
