Chapter 18: I wonder what changed his mind

The Board Chairman exhaled with lack of belief.

" So all you want to say is that that girl was innocent ?" He asked.

" Yes sir." Jenny responded.

" How could you accuse her then ?" He asked angrily.

" Sir, I didn't know what exactly happened until I talked to Granny." Jenny faked tears of guilt.

" And you ?" He turned to the old woman.

" I am sorry Sir. It's my fault. I didn't know I took the package to the wrong room." She spoke.

The aged man shook his head in confusion and said.

" Now the poor girl is blaming our company for falsely accusing her." He said.

" We now know that she is innocent. So we are here to beg that she comes back to work." Jenny said.

" Both of you will be fined for causing inconveniences. Go and find a way to get her back and apologize to her on behalf of the company." Said the chairman.

" I will do that Sir." Jenny agreed immediately.

" Now leave my office !" He said and they got up.

" Thank you Chairman for giving us a chance to correct our mistake." Jenny said and after they left the office.

When they were out Jenny released a heavy sigh of relief.

" How was it ?" The old woman asked.

" I didn't know that at this age you are still a very good actress." Jenny made her smile.

" I used to be a great one. Just that when I became old they were nolonger interested in using me in movies." Said the old woman.

" Don't worry. I will pay you handsomely." Jenny said.

" Don't forget to provide for my fine too." The old woman reminded.

"of course I won't." Jenny promised and after walked away.

Canary was impatiently waiting for the feedback and he checked on his phone now and then.

' So she is really going to give up ?'

He cursed and got up with confused when he just recieved a call.

On picking it was the Board chairman calling him.

" Come to my office right now !" He commanded.

" Yes Sir !" Canary responded and went right away.

——

Jenny sat back before her desk and wrapped her hangs before her chest.

" Now these people want me to go and apologize to that good for nothing ?" She asked Richie.

" It was your fault. You should go and get her back." Richie answered.

" I can't believe that Canary is doing this to me. I thought we had made a good plan." Jenny argued.

" I wonder what changed his mind." Richie stated.

" True, We must find out." Jenny promised.

——

That evening Canary was getting ready to leave his Office when Camilla came in with her cute smile on her face.

She opened the door half way and peeped with her head inside.

Seeing her made him smile and he walked over to him.

" Why are you at the door ?" He asked.

" You promised to have time for me after work. So here I am." She said.

" So what do you think of this evening ?" He asked.

" Leave it to me. I know a nice place to take you." Camilla assured him.

He cackled at her. " Okay, I am left with no choice." He responded.

——

Lisa was as well still at her place when the door knocked again. She had slept off later after she had nothing to do the whole day.

She woke up and crept out of the bed slowly. Who could be looking for her at this time.

On opening she was flabbergasted at the view of Jenny. Her number one enemy so far.

" Are you also here to apologize ?" Lisa asked without beating around the bush. The expression on her face wasn't welcoming Jenny at all.

The expression on her face wasn't welcoming Jenny at all.

" Hmmm" Jenny mumbled with disappointment and handed over the letter.

" The Board chairman asked me to give you this." Jenny spoke angrily and when Lisa got it she turned to leave.

" I guess you guys were caught. It was all a prank right ?" Lisa asked intentionally to annoy Jenny.

Jenny looked back with an evil smile. " There's no difference. You look like a thief already. Look at this ugly house you are staying in." Jenny uttered out.

Lisa couldn't help chuckling at this. " You can call my place anything you want. But don't forget that you are just an Anderson worker like me." Lisa declared and locked the door before Jenny add anything.

" I am not just a normal worker. I am a team leader." Jenny yelled as she found her way out of the place.

Lisa sat down on her bed and opened the letter. It was an apology letter inviting her to report for work again.

She wondered how her name had been destroyed and Cleared in just a day.

She smiled and said. " God, You are still on my side !"

——

Canary and Camilla arrived at one of the expensive restaurants.

Camilla had promised to take him for dinner and they drove right after work.

It was quite with a gentle smell of delicious foods and drinks that portrayed it's elegance.

They both sat down on a couple table set. Camilla was very happy that the smile on her face didn't fade. The yellow dim lights of the restaurant made her look more beautiful.

" Do you like here ?" She asked.

" Yeah, it's nice." He said.

" let's make our orders." She picked the food menu and begun reading through it.

——

Lucy was at the mansion reading a magazine when her phone rung. She picked to find it was Wilson her left hand man.

" What is it ?" She asked on accepting the call.

" I followed Canary as you asked. He is a dinner with Camilla." Wilson reported.

" Keep an eye on them." Lucy instructed.

" Yes Boss.." Wilson responded.

After the call Lucy put the file down and shook her head.

——

After the meal Canary had a walk with Camilla around the hotel compound which was large and beautiful with nature.

" How was the meal ?" She asked.

" It was nice. I enjoyed it." He spoke with a simper.

" I used to come here with my Sister before she left the country." Camilla jazzed.

" You must be missing her." Canary ruminated.
