Chapter 5

Lexi's pov

I reached the cafe where me and Stephanie agreed to meet up, I ordered an iced coffee as I waited for her. I saw her walked through the door and then waved at her indicating my position.

As her eyes met with mine it brightened up and she then walked towards me and took a seat opposite me.

"Lexi, it's been fucking long what happened". She looked at me with curiosity.

"Baby steps, baby steps, I will tell you but first order something cold". The weather this days were a bit hot.

"Ok but no escape for you, you must tell me everything that happened".

"Of course I will tell you everything, I promise".

We called the waiter who brought the menu, but of course being the social girl she was ordered without the menu. She must have come here a lot.

She took a sip from her drink and looked at me with 'you know what to do next' eye. I gave a light chuckle at her behavior and decided that it was finally time to tell her of the years in my life that she had missed on.

I told her everything from the time my mother was sick to the charity gala. At first she was so angry and sad that she almost let out tears, but when I reached the part of the charity gala she could no longer hold in her laughter.

"The part where you almost climbed the stage thinking you were the one he spoke of is just so funny".

"Stephanie I hate you". I said then took a sip of my coffee.

"Stephanie now time for you to tell me the things I missed this few years". I looked at her.

"Well nothing much had happened, I broke up with Derek and then..." Her eyes sparked up like she remembered something. "...I also got a job at the one of the biggest fashion and design company".

"What went wrong with you and Derek?, you guys were such a sweet couple".

"He's such a cheating basdard" I noticed her mood changed so much, then I decided to change the topic and not spoil our time together in a very long while.

"But wait up, are you really serious,are u really working there, that's really nice, you got a smooth sailing life than mine".

"Do you want me to get u a job there, all you just need to do is come for the interview holding next week, then I will recommend you, that's all, you will surely get the job".

"I can't work nine to five, it won't give me time for the revenge I'm planning on Reginald, but don't worry cause I'm starting my own brand".

"Seriously, that's great, but do you have the funds to do so, you would also need some advertisements for at least people to patronize".

"If you are talking about that then there is no problem, that was something I never lacked being with Reginald. I was planning on getting a website opened for me where I would post the clothing sewn by me and paying influencers to advertise them. How's that plan for a start". I asked her

"That's wonderful, I'll be here by your side cheering for you".

"Thanks, that's so reassuring". We were talking about other things when a call came for Stephanie.

"Lex, I really need to go, work related but I promise we will talk later on the phone okay".

"Okay". She then hurriedly left, I finished my coffee and also went home because from tomorrow I might just be busy as well.

I boarded a taxi to my house and met a hearty dinner waiting for me."what's with the whole dinner, what are we celebrating". I asked my mum

"Nothing much just the celebration of life, good health and happiness, go freshen up and come out to have dinner with us".

"Ok mum" I kissed her on her forehead and went into my room.

I took a cold shower and came down for dinner. The atmosphere at the table was so nice and for the first time in long while I enjoyed eating.

We talked about some stuff that happened around the house when I was away and laughed about it.

After dinner my mom and aunty Jane stayed in the sitting room to watch their favorite show, my mum asked me to stay but I couldn't I had things to do.

I entered my room and started searching for website creators online and then I finally found one. I chatted him up and we agreed on tomorrow to setup a fashion website for me.

I also checked online for warehouse up for lease around this area, i found one and I was going to check out the place with the owner tomorrow noon.

I decided to get some sleep because I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow. I woke up the next day had my bath and ate. I was munching on some apple and watching an interview with the big shot Desmond, a freaking Billionaire.

That's just how he is being addressed by the masses meanwhile he's money is far more than just a billionaire, people like Reginald are too poor to see his back.

I actually had a crush on him like every other young girls and lady until Reginald happened. If I would want to have anything to do with him now, it would be nothing than to use him to take my revenge on Reginald.

I was getting lost in thought when I heard mum's voice behind me. "Lex, me and aunty Jane are going over to a friend's house to spend time, are you going anywhere today?".

"Ok, and yes I'm going out today to go check on a warehouse I would like to buy".

"Why do you want to buy a warehouse?".

I told her about my plan to begin my clothes brand and she was really happy for me almost tearing up. She also promised to accompany me to the market the day I would go shopping to buy materials, tools, equipment and other stuff for the warehouse.

We just finished talking when I had the doorbell ring, "I think that would be the website creator, I will go check it out".

I went to the door and opened it only to be shocked at who was standing there.
