CHAPTER THREE: THE ENTANGLEMENT

On the night before the ceremony, Maya remembered the old lady that gave her the flyer of Mr Weeks auditioning session. She immediately got her phone from her pocket and dialled her number, the old lady answered,

"Please who am I speaking to?" The old lady asked.

"It's me Maya, the girl at the bus station," Maya replied excitedly.

"Ohhhhh... Maya, how are you? Did you get in?" She said heartily.

"Yes!" Maya squealed.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so happy for you. Soon you'll get the money you need and make your parents proud." The old lady said, filled with joy.

Maya talked with the old lady via the phone as she wished her luck. After the call, she couldn't sleep. The stylist had given her varieties of dresses to choose from. She was to put on make-up the next day, something she rarely does. Shortly, she slept off.

The next day, Maya awoke with a lot of makeup artists and stylists around her, she was startled. They quickly told her to get up, because they had a lot to do. She had her bath firstly, before anything else. After bathing, she was given a white robe to put on while the make-up artists started her job. Her designer asked her if she had finally picked a dress,

"No Miss, anyone would suffice," Maya said

Anyone? The designer thought to herself. The hairstylist asked Maya what way she would like her hair to be styled,

"Don't worry Ma'am, I can do that myself," Maya said.

What kind of lady is this? The hairstylist thought to herself. "I'll go with the curled plaits." The stylist said as she left to get her equipment ready.

AT NUTRI LTD

Mr Weeks was in his company's ceremonial hall, greeting other prestigious billionaires like him, the hall was beautifully designed. It had flowers surrounded against every wall. The table was elegantly set, with trinkets and the finest plate sets, cutleries and glass cups.

The hall was filled with people, elegantly dressed. Mr Lin, the owner of Avonbron enterprise, came over to meet Mr Weeks.

"Mr Weeks, congratulations on your new launch." Mr Lin said.

"Thank you so much, Mr Lin. Who's the ravishing young lady accompanying you?" Mr Weeks asked, stunned by her beauty.

"My wife, Sir." Mr Lin said. His wife was dressed in the sky blue ball gown, it was a royal-themed event, her corsets were so tight that they pushed her breasts up so her cleavages were very exposed. Mr Lin asked his wife to introduce herself,

"I'm Flora Lin, Ravi de Vous rencontré Mr Weeks," Flora said as she extended her hands to Mr Weeks for a kiss. She knew Mr Weeks spoke fluent french. Mr Weeks took her hands and kissed them softly, he was mesmerized. Flora smiled knowing fully well her objective was to get herself wrapped around the fingers of Mr week.

LAST NIGHT AT THE LIN'S MANSION.

Mr Lin sat on his chair, drinking whiskey when his wife came in. It was late, she told the driver to drop her keys at their usual spot. She came in to meet her husband drinking late at night,

"Honey bear, you're drinking this late, you know it's not good for your health," Flora said, trying to take away all suspicions from her husband.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Mr Lin asked his wife, acting calmly.

"I don't understand, Honey what are you talking about?" Flora stuttered,

Mr Lin wasn't having it, he was so angry that he held his glass cup so tightly and it broke, Flora was scared she screamed. Mr Lin did not care whether he was bleeding, he stood up and said at the top of his voice,

"Where did you go yesterday?!"

Flora kept quiet, she was trembling with fear, she was looking for words to say but she couldn't find any.

"Your driver wasn't with you that night you drove off, so where did you go?!"

Flora kept quiet still, Mr Lin got furious and went towards her and choked her. She struggled for breath, then she tapped the lamp stand beside her multiple times, Mr Lin left her and she answered,

"Pine Hills, Pine hills, I went there to see my mom." She said while she gasped for air.

"I thought I told you never to go there! You are the wife of a respected billionaire, as such, you shouldn't be seen in that slump!"

Flora was already sobbing hard, "it's my mother for godsakes Lin! She's suffering there." Flora said holding her chest, breathing heavily.

"Then she shouldn't have sent you off to marry at the age of 18. You are mine, not hers. And I don't want you to ever, I repeat ever, go there again. Have I made myself clear?" Mr Lin demanded.

Flora nodded in affirmation. Mr Lin told her that they had an event to go to the next day. He told her it was one of his billionaire friends, Mr Weeks and that it was royal-themed so he ordered their seamstress to make something for her right away.

Flora decided to devise a plan, to get Mr Weeks to fall in love with her.

AT THE CEREMONIAL HALL

The event was supposed to start at 9 am sharp. It wasn't time yet, so everyone was sitting discussing, Mr Lin and some billionaires took a table. There were arrogant billionaires trying to intimidate one another. They talked about their wives and their dresses and ornaments,

"My wife's putting on 24k karat gold on her neck, refined from the finest gold refineries." Mr Arch said. He looked at his wife beside him and they both smiled at each other.

Another billionaire said, "The earnings my wife's putting belongs to Marilyn Monroe, we got permission to take it for the night for a large number of dollars."

Mr Lin said, "Gentlemen, My wife is stunning, from head to toe. Mr Weeks called her ravishing." All the billionaires sitting at the table looked at Mr Lin's wife as they sexualized her. They all couldn't resist her cleavages, this got the wives of the other billionaire jealous.

Flora saw Mr Weeks leaving, so she excused herself from the table, she told her husband she was going to the restroom meanwhile she wanted to catch up to Me Weeks. She made sure no one was watching her. She eventually caught up to Mr Weeks,

"Mr Weeks," she said, tapping him from behind. He turned around to see it was the ravishing Mrs Flora, he wanted to tell her he didn't have time for her but he couldn't resist her cleavages.

"How can I help you?" He said charmingly.

"It's concerning my marriage, can we talk somewhere more private?" Flora asked.

"Sure, let's go to my office."

Flora and Mr Weeks went to his office to discuss, Mr Weeks closed the door behind him and saw that Flora had taken off her gown. He was stunned by her inner beauty, he asked her why she took off her gown,

"It was hot," She said.

"I have a ceremony to kick-off, I don't have time for this." He said reluctantly.

Flora removed her bra and she threw it at his face, it was a large bra, she was naked from her torso. Mr Weeks couldn't control himself so he grabbed her and placed her on his table. He kissed her passionately, from her lips to her feet. She moaned expressing satisfaction, he was ready to take off his suit when he heard a knock on his door, Marty opened the door to see him kissing Flora, Mr Lin's wife. He immediately closed the door and told Me Weeks that it was remaining two minutes before the ceremony starts.

Mr Weeks was ashamed that Marty saw his making out with his friend's wife, he immediately told her to get dressed and get out. She did so and she went to her table, trying to look like nothing happened, her husband asked her why she took so long in the restroom,

"My dress was too tight." She lied.

Shortly, Mr Weeks came to the podium to give his speech, the ceremony had commenced,

"Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for attending this ceremony. As we all know Nutri has been a family legacy of mine. My father worked very hard to build this company and raise it to such prominent status. I would also hope that one day, I would pass it to my son, Deryn." He pointed at the spot Deryn stood, welcoming him to the podium.

All the guests cheered for Deryn as he came onto the stage. They were shocked to see Deryn Weeks has returned. He was given a microphone by his father,

"Thank you all you're too kind. And father, I promise you when that day comes, I won't let you down. Before we bring on to the podium the lady that would be performing, let's all sit, enjoy and have a good time."
