Karl noticed Chris' expression the moment when his friend saw Johanna.
“There's nothing special about that lowlife so stop staring at her?” Karl said with a distached expression.
Wait!
“Is she working here as a maid? because the last time I saw her, she and her mother both came to my dad's company to close a real estate deal worth millions. hope it's not what I'm thinking?” Chris said curiously.
“Oh!
You must be mistaken.
Perhaps the one you saw looks exactly like this b***h. As a matter of fact, that lowlife just almost peeled my toros with a chilled coffee. Anyways,what brings you here? Karl demanded.
“They do look alike” Chris said with concern and shunned it off.
“I just want to invite some of our friends and business partners to come celebrate with you on becoming the new head of Renard Group.” What do you think? Chris stated.
“You know I'm not a party freak. How about this, we'll host a cocktail party at my residence. Sounds cool right?” Karl declared.
“I wouldn't mind joining”
That instance the door opened, and a beautiful woman swept into the room with regal elegance with her clothes hugging her curves.
She's no other person than Christine, Karl's ex girlfriend.
Hello buddies. She said excitedly as she gracefully settled onto one of the exquisitely upholstered sofas.
Immediately, Karl's face darkened and spoke coldly to her.
“Didn't I warn you never to step your filthy legs into this House? Besides, what makes you think I'd invite you to the party?” Karl fired.
“I know you caught me in the act, but maybe it's not such a bad idea to attend the party, talk things through, and see if we can get back together." Christine spoke tenderly.
" Get back together? Forget it. Nothing is ever going to come between us.” Karl chuckled.
Karl and Chris concluded that the party will be held on the weekend since everyone will be less busy.
Later, Chris bid his farewell. remaining Karl and Christine in the sitting room. Shortly afterwards, the head maid came and told Karl that lunch was ready.
Karl and Christine stood up and went to the marble-top dining table. Karl took his seat and Christine did likewise.
The dining table was laden with a lavish spread of delicacies—steaming bowls of rich soup, platters of tender grilled beef, roasted chicken, juicy lamb chops, fragrant jollof and fried rice, fresh seafood, crisp salads, warm bread, and an assortment of irresistible desserts. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making the dishes impossible to resist.
Johanna and other two servants were assigned to dish out the meal. As they were serving, Karl studied Johanna with detached eyes. Johanna got carried away and stared back which made her accidentally spilled soup on Christine’s beautiful gown.
What's gone over you b***h? Are you blind or what? Do you know how much this cost? I'm very sure your lifetime earnings wouldn't be able to afford this. Carolina growled while she cleans the mess on her dress.
That instance, She stood up and tried to slap Johanna but Karl caught her wrist from preventing the strike.
“Why are you restraining me from teaching this b***h a lesson? Didn't you see what she did to my clothes?”Carolina snapped.
You quite know it was unintentional. Again,
“In this house, no one lays a hand on a member of this household. Don't ever let it happen again.” Karl fired back as he yanked her hand away.
“It is simply because she was staring back at you that made her spill the sauce on me. I have been watching you both glaring at each other.
Karl, So it's because of this filthy lowlife that you've refused to accept me back right?
“Now I understand.” Christine spoke tenderly as a drop of tears escaped her eyes.
“What makes you think I'm in love with her? You'd know that I can never fall in love with a piece of trash.” Karl said as he munched on his food.
“Then prove it to me that you're not in love with her.” Christine said delightfully.
Karl stood up from his seat and walked up to her and whispered softly into her ear.” I have nothing to prove to a w***e like you”
That instance, a flicker of hurt crossed her face, but she quickly masked it with a calm expression.
“So this is how you intend to get back at me right? No problem.” Christine spoke as her voice broke with emotions.
She picked up her bag in a haste, turned to leave but stopped and turned facing the direction of Johanna and fired
“And as for you this Worthless wretch, I'm going teach you a bitter lesson”
Then, she hurried away, struggling to catch her breath between sobs.
A few moments later, Mrs Renard came downstairs and asked.
"What's really going on? I've been hearing voices and all sorts of commotion. Who are you talking to?” Mrs Renard asked with a curious expression.
"It's no other person than that bitch.” Karl replied
“Oh! Carolina was here? So you two got into a serious argument that she had to leave without saying hi?” Mrs Renard scoffed.
“Just let her be and Lest I forget mum. I will need the keys to the other Quarters because I'd be having a small party this weekend and I wouldn't want to make a mess here. You know I will soon become the successor of the Renald enterprise so I need some privacy.” Karl boosted
“Alright son, I'll ask the maids to clean it up before the weekend so you can pack your things and leave my house.” Mrs Renard said as she bopped Karl lightly on his head.
The Renard Group Building dominated the city skyline, its packed with luxury cars and its entrances guarded by heavily armed security, a clear symbol of the company's power and prestige.
While Inside a lavish office, a man reclined in a massive leather chair, a cigar smoldering between his fingers. As he spoke on the phone, a cold, sarcastic laugh escaped his lips, echoing through the luxurious room.
He's no other person than Cain Renard. Karl's Cousin. He is also desperate to become the next chairman of Renard's Group but he can't be compared to Karl in terms of ability, influence and support from top directors in the Renard's Group. Regardless, he still refused to back down because he knows Karl will find it quite difficult to bear an heir due to his uninterested in women. Which is a disadvantage for him if he doesn't get it after 5 years of being the Head of Renard Group.
“Hmm!
That son of a b***h is back.”
What can I possibly do to prevent him from becoming the new Head? That seat is mine and I must acquire it by all means. Cain whispered to himself as he clenched his fist.”
Just then, the door swung open and Christine entered. Her outfit was tailored to perfection, emphasizing her slender frame.
“Didn't I tell you not to visit me during office hours? Or you've forgotten how Karl caught us in the act and you know how you almost destroyed my reputation?” Cain roared.
Calm down Cain!
“Heh heh! You want to shift the whole blame on me? Weren't you the one that me to you're in the mood?” Christine Snapped.
“Yeah I was in the mood but your mourning was intense that day. And bedsides, what brings you here at this hour?” Cain said at once.
“I know you're also aspiring to become the chairman of Renard group. Would you be interested if I told you that you could get it effortlessly without breaking a sweat?” Christine stated
“You know Karl is always careful and acts with precision. Well, I'd love to know how and hope it wouldn't later cause trouble”.Cain said with a wave of unease.
“No it wouldn't. So here is the plan. Karl is inviting a few of his wealthy friends at his Quarters to celebrate his new appointment as the Head of Renard's group and there's this Lowlife maid that works there and from my observation, Karl is obsessed with her.
We could just drug him and use the girl to have intimacy with him and have someone video them. Then we send it to Top directors and shareholders in the Renard group.
Boom,his reputation tarnishes.
What do you think?” Christine said confidently.
Wow!
Great idea.
I thought you're only good at s*x, I don't know you are this brilliant. Cain cheered.
“What exactly do you take me for? A hot girl like me without brains? Come on, I'm freaking intelligent so don't you ever look down on my capabilities.” Christine said as she flipped her hair back with a smug smile.
“You know we will be the core s
uspect if they later discover so we need to use someone else to do the job.” Cain spoke with concern.
“Leave that to me” Christine smudged.
