" I just got a call from the Detax company of programming..the CEO wants to meet me around 8:30 am in the morning". Layla said with a hint of happiness.
" And is that suppose to be Dela's company?". Lisa asked wth a disgusted face.
" Of course he is the CEO...I'm soo happy". Layla said and Lisa face brightened after hearing that.
" Anyway I'm happy for you....but let not celebrate now for that bitch can act crazy sometimes". Lisa said and hissed.
" Oh please spare me that". Layla said.
" Whatever... this reminds me, had he been disband from the idolizing group?". Lisa asked with her cut curious looking eyes.
" Well..I don't no but he stopped doing anything for the group and disband himself when we were about to graduate from school.. three years ago...and why are you even asking me when you know already..or don't you know?". Layla asked with a suspicious look.
" Oh.. okay I have now remember.. maybe he disband himself to concentrate on his job". Lisa said.
" Yeah...it can be like that". Layla also added.
" You better eat something before we get ready to go". Lisa warned Layla for she had hardly eaten anything when their food was served.

"So you have truly come". Her mother said when she saw her taking her mountain Kilimanjaro heels off her feet.
"Where you excepting me to still stay there?.for what Mom..you know how I really hate dull people..I can't actually cope with him". She said and took her bag then went away to her room leaving her mother dumbfounded..
"Wow.did she actually went off me?". She required herself then shook her head and walked away.
THE NEXT DAY
"Will you take your time Layla...is not even 5:00 am but you are already done dressing... can't you just have a little patient?". Lisa asked Layla who was busily dressing to attend the appointment she had with Dela.
"Try to be in my shoes one day and you will behave the same". Layla said and ignored her then went ahead and got ready for her appointment cause that seems to be the most important thing to her that very day. Lisa just stared at her and shook her head.
"What a crazy love story". She said and rolled her eyes then went away.
***
"Bro..is that you?". Hosea was confused when she woke up the next day to see Dela all dressed up ready to go to work.
"Don't you have two eyes..or you need glasses?". He said ignorantly while going through some documents.
"I'm just shock...for you never wake up early whenever you are in our house...I'm just surprise..or wait..you are taking a girl out?". Hosea was now being sarcastic.
"Stop being annoying Hosea...you too why did you wake up 5 hours earlier then before?". Dela asked and sip a cup of coffee on the table and shook his head then continued with what he was doing.
"What an annoying beast... anyway as for me I will soon go and continue my sleep...what about you...huh". Hosea said and went away after getting scolded.
"What a lazy human being ". Dela said and shook his head then went ahead and took his car keys then went out before his mother would force him to eat before going.
"Are you coming.. ?". Dela called someone when he was out of the house.
"Yeah...I'm in my car coming ". The person said
"I got everything ready ".He quickly added.
"Good...let hang up now". He said and placed his phone back in his pocket before getting in his car then he drove away.

"Hey where is your brother going early this morning?". Cecilia asked Hosea who was busy on her laptop.
"He actually scolded me when I asked him... maybe you won't get scolded so why not call him and ask him rather". Hosea said with all her senses tissues when she had gotten scolded by Dela. It was only that day that she had said something straight away without making stupid comment.
"You are right I will ask him my self". She said and picked her phone to call Dela but to her surprised the phone was off.
"What ..his phone is off !". Hosea almost exclaimed when her mother told her that Dela had switched his phone off.
"But...not being sure, I over heard him on phone just a minute when he went out the house..and his phone is off...". Hosea was confused...Was his brother doing something bad or was after something.
" Maybe he has something busy to attend to". Cecilia said and walked away.
" Whatever!". Hosea hissed and went back to what she was doing.

When Dela got to the company, he intentionally opened all doors before the securities arrived. They were alarmed to see the entrance of the building left inaugurated.
" Who had entered the building?". The main security man said and alert the rest to rush in quickly to see who had entered.
" Oh...boss is you". One of the man who entered said when he met Dela face to face wth some documents in his hands.
" Yeah... don't worry no one has entered...I was the one who opened the doors". Dela said, putting their heart at rest.
" Okay Boss...I will get going then". The man was shocked for not getting scolded like he would had gotten if Dela had been in his cold self.
A minute later, someone entered, dressed in all black with a back hat on his head. He walked straight like a robot which made some of the security mens went on to suspect him of being a bad person..but they dare not go close to ask why he was there, for no one just come there without any premission from Dela..and even if someone bad enter, they would get alert before he goes any closer.
" Collins..you are here...good job". Dela said when he saw Collins
walking to his direction. The man Dela called earlier on was Collins. The Collins they had always known was then the internet hacker for Dela's
company. He was ordered to find the most hardest puzzled to be use to test Layla's so call potential energy Jonie had been disturbing Dela with. He didn't even know that it was Layla who they were busily planning
her down fall. Dela had told him earlier on that he needed that to deal with one of his business partners who had been worrying and disturbing him.
"Yeah...I got everything ready...now I will like to take my leave before the sun rise". Collins said and placed down the papers in his hands then went out of the office.
He badly wanted to go and see Lisa before leaving, but he was too busy to even stopped by her shop to take a look at her.
Dela picked the papers and then started writing something down on a piece of another paper.
" Hmmm...let see how much potential energy you have for this job...girly boy ". Dela said and smirked.
***
"Time is up...now can I go?". Layla said and without waiting for Lisa's replied just stood up and reached for her bag and quickly went out.
" Hey you...are you done eating?". Lisa tried to remind her but she was already out of her sight.
" This girl is soo annoying". Lisa said and picked the rest of the food and took it back to the kitchen. Lisa didn't felt right on how Layla just left without finishing her food, so she decided to pack some for her to go give it to her when she goes to her shop n the afternoon.
Layla walked as fast as her legs could carry her to the bus station. In order not to waste much time, she stopped an empty taxi and quickly ordered the driver to drive away and he also didn't hesitate to drove away quickly.
****
" Thank you boss... here". Layla said and paid him then rushed quickly and entered the company building without waiting for even a seconds. She quickly rushed to Jonie's office. But to her surprised Jonie wasn't in his office.
" Ah... where is he... didn't they called me over?". Layla said depressed.
" Good morning...you are here on time". Layla heard a voice from behind and quickly turned her head only to see Dela in his wicked form with a seduction look pasted on his face.
