CHAPTER 78: PAPARAZZI

The employees were very happy, smiles were seen on their faces. Some of them it was the first time they were stepping in that hotel.

"Wooow it's so beautiful, l wish one day l will come here with my family to have a family dinner" one of the employee said.

"Continue dreaming you think your meagre salary will allow you to even the hotel?"

"You're right food here is very expensive, look and those cars that parked there, Everything here is sneaking Wealth."

"True look at that waitress, her uniform looks more expensive than this dress" she was shouting at the top of her voice. She pointed at everything she saw,you could think she is crazy. But this was how she could express her happiness. "Look she is coming our way". She pointed at the waitress who was assigned to welcome the visitors meant for the party at the second floor.

Every hotel in that county knows about Who Mrs Wechuli was. A Wealth business woman so no one dared to disappoint her in their services. It was always a pleasure when she chooses to hold a party in a hotel. Most hotelier looked forward in working with her. Who wouldn't want to be associated with a wealth person?.

The employees continued coming in, since it was an impromptu party there was no dressing code. You dress as you want as the saying goes 'My dress my choice'.Since it was the CEOs party most of them were dressed in official,Some dressed casually. 

Drinks and food was in plenty,they were told to eat of their fullest.When everybody was in Mrs Wechuli and Mr Mukhongo entered following each other. The employees clapped and hululated when they entered. She was dressed to kill.

"I didn't know my new boss is a fashionista,she has a good taste if colour and clothes"

"Yes l envy her"

They said as she was passing. "I don't know why Mr Mukhongo keeps following her"

"Sssh don't say like, someone might here you,you might lose your job."

"They are together because, she needs to learn from him. Remember he was the interim CEO"

....

"Ladies and gentlemen let's welcome our new CEO with a hand of clap and plause." Mr Mukhongo said when they arrived and their table.

"Thank you all, l an delighted that all of you decide to come to this humble party, Let's have a tost for my new leadership."

Everyone raised their glass of wine as they shouted to 'the new leadership then drank it.'

Food was served and people started eating...

"This is the second timel will eating dinner privately with you" Paul said as he opened the car door for her.

"Is it a date or normal dinner"

"I think it's a normal dinner, wifey, soon l will take you for a date dinner"

"I don't know why we are dating yet already married?"

"I won't stop chasing after you, marrying you first mean that l already won you, l need to continue showing you love, dating you. Love should be expressed everyday."

The driver smiled as he looked at them in the rear mirror. He was driving slowly because he didn't know the place he will be driving them to. Paul realised the slow movement of the car then said to him.

"To Luhya inn resort" he said

"Yes boss"

"What about Village in resort hubby, l think that will be suitable,it'salong the highway and......ooh sorry l remembered. Let's go to Luhya- inn."

"Hahaaa l didn't know you are forgetful,anyway we can still go there if you want wifey. Anything for you.."

"No, no hubby, l don't want us to be party crashers. Okay not you but me. Atleast you were invited, she pouted her mouth then said. I won't be comfortable there"

Although the Luha inn was in the outskirts of the town, it was a seren place with cool breeze. He likes enjoying the dinner at quite place that's why he chose it. 

They entered the hotel and chose the table at the corner. Since Ivana didn't want to be recognized,she doesn't want tomorrow to appear on the top of newspaper with fake news or screaming headlines.  Since Paul was a public figure while Ivana comes from a wealth family that attracts the journalist. 

Their marriage was not a public thing,so most of them could not know that they were married. He hated negative publicity.

After Pulling a chair for her to seat down she said. "It have been long before l tested the Luhya cuisine, l used to love it while in Campus" she smiled to him.

"What? why that look, l know that look don't even start it, we are in public Paul."

"Did l do something bad? He raised one of his brow. I am just staring at you, is it wrong if l stare at my wife? He scoffed then, "What about kissing her in public?hahaaa"

"You are very silly"

"Only for you"

"I don't want to appear on the front page tomorrow,you are behaving like you don't know that paparazzi are everywhere. They are waiting for the perfect moment to capture your picture then write something about you"

"I don't mind appearing on the front page while kissing you, you know" he continued.

All Paul was trying to do was bring her moods back. But it looked like Ivana was not buying the idea. He wanted her to be in a good mood when having dinner. He knows it's hard for her to see your dad's company in another person's hand who is not directly related to you.

"You know the last time l appeared on the newspaper was during dad's memorial mass"

"You have forgotten that the paparazzi wrote something negative about my presence in that mass"

"Why didn't you sue them?"

"I don't care what they write,as long as they don't drag you in if it's negative. Also l know with my name or picture they make a good sale. Hahaha l know l am a bran myself"

What they didn't know was that the paparazzi was at the next table trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
