Chapter Seventeen

"Was there a need to speak to Melody that way ?!"Liza asked Clinton who hopped into the car angrily .

"Seriously ?

Liza ,look at the mess that girl is gonna put you through just because you want help !

Listen , you're not gonna do anything that she says and it's final !"Clinton affirmed with a narrowed gaze at Liza .His voice clear and hot with intensity .

Liza loved how protective he was over her but unfortunately he wasn't gonna change her mind .

"Clinton !

It's the first time ever that I'm gonna do something for my dad !

I'm sorry but you ain't changing my mind and it's final !

You're either with me or I step off the car and do this alone !"Liza said ,her voice sounding a bit heartbreaking.

Clinton felt a pinch of pain hovering over his body and continued to drive in silence .

"I know Liza , I know that you have a heart of gold but I can't afford to lose you because you want to help these victims out !

That's why no matter what happens ,I won't live you alone !"Clinton thought while driving speedily.

"Watch it Clinton ,some pedestrians are crossing the road !"Liza panicked when the car came to a halt abruptly.

"Sorry ma'am !"Liza stepped out of the car and apologized .

"What's wrong with you ?

You almost knocked these people down because you are not concentrating ! This is the second time Clinton ,you first stepped out of the car without a word and took a seat on the leisure bench across the road and now ,you almost knocked down these people ! What is wrong ?!

You know ? It's pointless arguing with you so I think I should drive instead !"Liza wondered what was wrong with him ,his behaviour was really abnormal .

"I stepped out of the car because I was feeling suffocated by your words Liza and now ,I almost knocked these people down because I was so worried about your safety..!"Clinton thought , starring at Liza .

"I'm sorry if I got angry at you for no reason but if there's something bothering you Clinton ,you can tell me .

I'm all ears ,the fact that you are supporting me through this makes me care for your well-being as well .So tell me why you are so down today because you were so lively at home !"Liza said .

"We have reached Liza ,turn right and let's park the car at the garage !"Clinton said ,his face straight .

"Alright !" She said , parking the car at the garage .

It was evident that he was ignoring her questions so there was no need to ask him anymore .

"Awnnn finally !"Liza sighed .

We were finally at Lipzy Group of Companies .

We entered the company and approached the receptionist at the reception.

"Hello ,we are from Carson's Charity Services and we want to meet the head of operations for the company , Secretary Sylvia Banzon !"

She looked at our identification cards to verify whether or not we were telling the truth !

Thank God ,Jean gave me the identification card ,it was of great help .

"Miss Carson ,Mister Brown ,I would like to help you but you are not on her appointment list which means you will have to book an appointment and come back later !"The receptionist said in her bubbly voice .

"Miss ,you will have to help us because we really need her help !

We will save so many people through this meeting .

Look miss ,I know you are doing your job but if you could tell her once that we are looking for her then maybe she might want to receive us .Please try and help us !"Liza insisted .

"I have already told you that ,I can't help you because you haven't booked an appointment yet , so I suggest you go and come back two days from today for an appointment!"The receptionist told them .

" Listen ,there are a lot of people who are waiting to see her and you are not better than any of them !

They have all booked appointments to see the boss so I can't grant you an entry without any appointment!

Look at those people sitting behind you ,some have been here for months and others for weeks so if you can't wait just like they are doing ,then I suggest you exit the room for others to occupy !"The receptionist added ,almost angrily .

"Oh really ?

How much is your pay for a month that has given you so much rights to talk to your fellow lady in this manner ?"Clinton said , taking of his shades and looking directly at the receptionist's face and just like any other lady ,she was astonished by his facial beauty .

Liza also took off her shades and that of her hood as well .

The weather was really cold so a hoodie was needed .

We had reached the peak of it all to get some help for the victims but this rude receptionist was just unbearable .

I know she was doing her job and I couldn't blame her but after explaining everything to her ,she was still pessimistic and she was feeling too proud to help us out .I guess it's time to apply force because if "persuasion fails ,force is applied " .

I need to do it for the welfare of the victims .

I could see how the facial expression of the secretary had changed all of a sudden .

She was suddenly dumb and deaf at a time .

Mum was right ,no one could resist our beauty upon first sight .

"Miss !"I called , clearing my throat .I needed some guts now to totally break her down .

"Go in there and tell your boss that Eliza Blaire Carson ,daughter of Ben Carson is here to meet her and don't forget to add to it that Clinton Brown ,son of Marcial Brown is with me too !"Liza said firmly .

"Now go in there and inform her or else , I'm sorry to inform you that your actions can lead to your loss of job and I hope you know that ?"Clinton said with a smirk on his face .

"Alright ,I will call her for you !"After a few minutes ,they were told to enter into her office .

"Wow ! That was so cool ..!"I said to Clinton .

Once they entered into the office and spoke to her ,she offered to help them in terms of finances and also supply some of her goods to the victims .

They signed the contract and left immediately to see the results they would produce from the others .

"You did it !"Clinton saluted .

"No Clinton ,we did it and thank you very much for your help !

That woman needed us more than we needed her !

At this point in her business life ,she will do anything to save her reputation in the society and that's why ,she's helping out the poor who have lined up in her office !She wants to get their trust to save her reputation and it is to our advantage !"Liza explained.
