Chapter 16; I made a mistake
Canary bit his lower lip seductively.
" We are in the middle of the corridor" He said and removed her hands from his shoulders.
" So, Did she leave ?" Camilla asked.
They were just like that when Lisa opened the door and left with her boxes.
Canary sighed and crossed his arms before his chest.
" I can't believe that she was really a thief" Camilla remarked.
Canary smiled and walked part Camilla without another word which left her mouth opened. How could he just walk past her like that.
He went and caught up with Lisa who was still waking along the corridor.
" Are you happy now ?" She asked angrily.
" Yeah, Of course I am." He said.
Lisa stopped and turned to look up at him.
" Do you hate me that much to the point of hiring people to frame me ?" Lisa questioned with sadness in her eyes which he felt for the first time.
The question left him speechless and all he did was stare back at her.
' Do you hate me that much ?'
The question echoed in his head and he felt like her gaze went up to his soul.
' Seriously did I have to go this far. I am making her lose her job now. Is this the real me ?'
Canary asked himself.
When he didn't say a word Lisa heaved a deep breath and said.
" You have won. Maybe I am just unlucky that I lose every job I get just because people are never pleased with my presence." She said mournfully.
" But you know what ? This method you used to get rid out of me was so lame. Next time you want to get rid of someone, Use manly tricks. I am more disappointed in you." She told him.
" Huh, Are you now looking down on me ?" He asked bitterly.
" I am not." She cut him off.
" I just think that orphans like me deserve nothing." After saying this she bowed before him and walked away.
Canary was surprised to hear what she just said.
" Everyday she is an orphan ?" He asked himself in perplex.
This made him feel more guilty and he passed his hands in his face and covered his mouth in prostration.
Lisa went down to the roadside where she got a cub and left the company.
While inside the cub, She got her phone and wrote a message to Lucy.
' Mrs Anderson, I am sorry for the way things have come out today. I know you will not believe eveything if I say I didn't do it. About Canary, The only thing I got to know is that there's something going on between him and Camilla. Thanks'
She sent the message which Lucy recieved immediately from where she was also in the car heading back home.
" Wilson ?" Lucy called her driver.
" Yes Ma'am" Wilson responded.
" Send 500k on Lisa's account. And keep an eye on Camilla starting from tomorrow" She ordered.
" Yes Ma'am." Wilson agreed.

Canary walked back to his office only to find Camilla waiting for him.
When she heard the door open she turned to look at him with a smile.
" I thought you left." He said.
" You assistant just left. So I thought you would need help with some work." She answered.
He went to her and she grinned while he held both her hands in his palm.
" Why do you have to do such work with your delicate hands." He said and pressed soft kisses on both her wrists.
The softness of his lips made her laugh softly and when he released her he kissed her lips in a one bite and then went to his desk.
She was not contested by the way he just kissed and left her so she turned to face him.
" Is there anything bothering you ?" She asked because she knew him so well so far.
He is not someone who just kisses like that without going far.
" Go and do some work." He said indirectly sending her away.
" I told you I am free today." She insisted.
He shook his head and got off his desk again to go to her.
He moved his hands to her hair which he pushed backwards to her ear.
" We still have time. For now let's focus on work." He said.
" Yes Ma'am" Wilson agreed.

" See you after work then." She beamed and walked out of the office.
Canary was turning to watch her go when he saw the notebook that was on the side of the desk.
He remembered it being Lisa's. He moved closer and picked it up.
" How did she forget her notebook ?" He asked and sat on her desk to open it.
The first page had these words.
Madam Stella always tells me, Be the good girl you always have to be. Don't let the wickedness of the World change you.
He pouted his lips on reading this and continued.
The other pages had more words which he skipped until he landed on the the dress sketches she had made.
" Did she sketch these dresses herself ?" He asked himself and continued only to see better and better sketches.
" Wow, She's so talented !"
When this came into his mind he immediately got his car keys and rushed out of the office.
He picked his own phone and rung Lucy.
Lucy was at the Mansion she heard her phone ring and picked it.
" What is it ?" She asked.
" Mom, Can I have Lisa's address ?" He asked.
At first Lucy was surprised by his demand.
" What ?" She asked.
" I made a mistake. She isn't the one who stole the items. I need to bring her back." He said now getting inside his car.
" Ooh really, How will you bring her back yet the board has decided already ?" Lucy questioned.
" Leave that to me. Just send me her address !" He begged.
" Okay, I am going to send it on WhatsApp." Lucy said and ended the call.
Canary sat in the car and waited impatiently until he recieved the message and he started the car immediately.

Lisa was already in her room and after having a shower she sat on her bed in deep thoughts.
" Mom, Dad, What will I do now ? Seems the whole world has turned against me." She solemnly spoke and lie on the bed.
She closed her eyes in trying to relax because she couldn't stop thinking of how she had been framed.
She was there relaxing when she heard a knock on her door.
She got up and sat on the bed.
" Oh my, It must be the land lady again. I am screwed." She said because she knew no one normally visited her place except the land lady.
She went and opened the door.
