The party II
” Why are you staring at me like that?” Sadie asked Mia who kept glancing at her through the corner of her eyes. Mia sighed and shook her head, she really has a lot to say but where will she start from? Everything that happened a few minutes ago is still ringing bells in the back of her head. She’s been trying to process all of them. ” Why are you working?” Mia blurted out before she could give it a second thought. ” Huh?” Sadie asked furrowing her eyebrows in confusion. ” You have someone like Nathan, why are you working? ” Mia asked again with her eyes balls rolling in its socket. Sadie scoffed!!! ” Because Nathan is my husband I should not work? I have always loved to be independent, that’s it” she replied plainly. ” You are so different Sadie, very different from other ladies ” Mia muttered Ladies like Sadie are rare, heaven knows if she’s in Sadie’s shoe, she will make the whole world know. The world will quiver with any step she takes all being Nathan’s wife. But Sadie, she’s just reserve and simple. But… why is she hiding their relationship? Why is she letting her family bully her when she has someone powerful like Nathan as a husband? ” I don’t know why you said I am different anyways, this should be between us Mia. No one should know that I am married to Nathan ” Sadie said ” Since you don’t want anyone to know then, I promise to keep shut about it. I won’t tell anyone and I won’t pry into your personal life. Thank you for trusting me Sadie” Mia replied. Sadie gave her a smile winking at her. ” You two look so in love, I am so happy for you Sadie. I wish I can rub this in Sofia’s face, she will never dare cross your path ever again ” ” I can fight my battles myself Mia, don’t worry about that ” Sadie said chuckling. ” I believe you and oh Sadie, Mr Lin said there will be a party tomorrow for the celebration of magazine publication. In his words, it’s a must you attend, no arguments ” *********************** ” I thought you said you love me Dad, she’s still in LBC ” Carly snorted at her father who was boiling in anger. She knew from the start it won’t be easy dealing with the new Sadie. It will be so hard but she needs to do something about it! But she needs to do something, Sadie has to be removed before she can have peace. Why was that thing given birth to? To think that Sadie is her sister hurts Carly a lot. She hates that fact. ” I tried Carly but Lin bluntly turned me down but do not worry, I will do something else I promise ” Mr Meyers said leaving the room. He still has a lot of issues to sort out. Ever since Mr Rogers withdrew all his shares from his company, everything changed. He needed a whole lot of money to get back his company but it’s not coming forth including the loan he got from the bank. Everything was lavished in the company. It ended up being null and void.
And now, the bank are after him. His friends aren’t ready to help him, that alone is making him so devasted. ” Meyer ” Gabriella called after him but he chose to ignore her. He needs to cool off his head. He needs to think of a way out of all his problems. Everything was fine until he woke up one day to Mr Rogers message. He entered his car and drove out of the compound. Gabriella sighed entering back into the house. Their family is falling including their wealth, they are loosing everything. Sadie is the least of Gabriella’s problem. She misses her though, if Sadie was here. They could have married her off to a rich family that will invest in her father’s company in return but she’s not here. Sadie might probably be out there sleeping around to get her way to the top. Who knows how many men she had slept with to get to work in LBC? If she hasn’t contacted a disease yet. Gabriella scoffed in distaste. Sadie has always been a loose girl, Gabriella wonders how God gave her a daughter like Sadie. That’s the biggest mistake of her life. Given birth to a worthless child. The day she will meet Sadie again, she will personally kill her with her hands. Who knows, perhaps she has a hand in their present predicament. Sadie might have given her body to old Mr Rogers and in return gained his favour by withdrawing from the company. Sadie is so evil! The thought of her angers Gabriella so much. They definitely will meet again. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ” How do I look Nathan?” Sadie asked turning around. Nathan gazed at her with admiration. ” You look gorgeous baby, like always but today is extreme. Are you planning on seducing anyone at the party?” Nathan asked with a frown earning a chuckle from Sadie. ” Look who’s sounding jealous, don’t be jealous Nathan. I am just for you ” Sadie replied with a wink. That really gladden Nathan’s heart. She’s just for him. He planned on attending the party only because of Sadie but it will be a surprise to her. ” I know right but if anyone fix their eyes on you, I will break their bones into pieces ” Nathan said . ” Stop being childish Nathan, I need to go already. Who’s dropping me off?” Sadie asked. ” Kaleb ” Nathan answered. ” Alright then, see you when I am back ” ” No kiss? That’s not fair ” Nathan said with a pout. ” You look so cute when you pout did you know that?” Sadie asked. ” Really? I will be doing that more often, I am waiting for my kiss ” he grabbed her by the waist as always kissing the living hell out of her lips. That’s the only thing he can do for now till she’s ready, so he will grab any given opportunity he have to kiss her lollipop lips. ………………………………………….. ” No Kaleb don’t, I can come out myself. I don’t want anyone to see me with you, you are Nathan’s personal assistant and people could read meanings to it” Sadie said to Kaleb who just nodded. ” I understand Young Mrs ” Sadie came down gracefully from the car. She gave a charming smile to Kaleb and left into the building. ” Thank goodness you are here Sadie, I thought you were not going to make it ” Mr Lin sighed in relief. Sadie has become his number one asset, this party is also to fully welcome her into the agency. ” Of course Mr Lin, I’d definitely come. I don’t want to loose my job now do I?” Sadie replied playfully. ” You look beautiful by the way ” he said undressing her with his eyes admiringly. ” Thank you Mr Lin, please lead the way ” Sadie fake a smile at him. He nodded and they both began walking inside. Mr Lin really did invite a lot of people for the party. Sadie is seeing new faces. The music was booming as people move about doing their businesses. ” The party is about starting, you can go take your seat Mia will be with you shortly ” ” Okay Sir ” Sadie replied.
She took her left and sat down on the empty seat she saw. Her colleagues were dancing and drinking but she’s never been a party type. ” Welcome ma’am, what drink should we offer you before the party begin?” One of the waitress asked. ” Don’t bother, I don’t need anything ” Sadie replied with a smile. That moment, Mia walked up to them. ” You came finally Sadie “she said sitting down beside her. ” I am not late am I? ” Sadie asked. ” just a few minutes. You look so stunning Sadie, are you seeing the gazes on you?” Sadie turned around and truly, she found people staring at her. She didn’t notice till now, well! That’s their business. ” Its their eyes, they can do whatever they want with it” she replied monotonously. When Mia was about talking, the music died down and Mr Lin’s voice flew across the place. ” You are welcome everyone, thank you for taking out of your time to attend this party ” he said grinning through his voice. Sadie’s face went blank at the sight of the person seated right beside Mr Lin. Her father!!! What is he doing here? They made an eye contact, Sadie could see him smirking at her. She knows his being here isn’t going to be a good one. He must have plans before coming here. Sadie’s face went back to a calm state looking so expressionless. If he thinks he can ever hurt her again, then, he will leave here in either shame, anger or embarrassment. She will will make him experience one of those. ” This huge success from CQ Magazines hasn’t happened in a long while in this agency. It all happened because of the intellectual model that came into our industry not quite long and I am using this opportunity to welcome her fully as one of us, please come out Sadie ” Everyone’s attention diverted to Sadie, a many hailed her while a few glared at her in pure jealousy. Sofia wasn’t left out. Sadie took slow steps to where Mr Lin and her father were. ” Thank you so much Sadie, the agency is so proud of you ” ” It’s my pleasure Mr Lin ”
Sadie stared at her father in disgust. She gave him a very warm warning smile. ” Before we play the music and eat refreshments, I will like to say a few……”
Mr Lin paused his statement hearing roar from the people. Gasp and scream filled the hall as everyone’s attention focused on the door. Some ladies fainted in shock, some squealed in joy while some fell down dramatically.
Nathan! Nathan! Nathan is here! He hardly attend any event even when invited. Mr Lin stood shock in his place, his lips quivered. Nathan is here ! This is an honour, he even came without being invited.. Mr Meyers jumped up from his seat! What? Nathan? He’s really meeting Nathan for the first time. Maybe giving him a good impression, he might beg his father on his behalf to return back his shares to his company. * Oh my goodness its really Nathan. * Can I hug you please. * All I need is an autograph, I will cherish it for the rest of my life. * He’s so handsome. * I don’t mind having a free night with you Nathan. Sadie chuckled hearing what the ladies were saying. Too bad he’s taken and he’s not even responding to them. But why is he here? He never told her he was going to come. Nathan’s dimple deep inside his cheeks as he smile genuinely outside his home for the first time with his gaze fixed on his wife. ” This is unexpected Mr Rogers, I feel honoured ” Mr Lin said giving him a handshake. ” Oh well, I came down here because of the new model in your agency. I heard she’s very intelligent and unique ” Nathan said taking his eyes off sadie. Her cheeks turned red while Mia winked at her. He’s really here to play games. Mia thought within herself, she will just stay here and watch how they are secretly going to flaunt their affections. ” that’s true Mr Rogers, Sadie is really a blessing to my agency ” Mr Lin replied proudly. ” Can I see her? To congratulate her at least ” Nathan said pretending not to see his wife with the corner of his lips twitching. ” Sorry Mr Rogers, I should have introduced her earlier. This is Sadie, the pride of LBC ” Mr Lin said the smile not leaving his face one bit.
This is the best day of his life! ” It’s nice meeting you Mr Rogers, I feel highly honoured to have you come down here because of me ”
Sadie said politely like she’s meeting him for the first time. ” You are such a beautiful lady, congratulations on your wins. I admire you a lot ” Nathan said truthfully. To others it might just be a word but he really meant it. The place became more crowded, paparazzi capturing them and the people screaming.
Sadie is really a lucky person to be noticed by the world famous Nathan. ” Thank you Mr Rogers, I am flattered by your comment”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Sadie replied smilling. This was Nathan’s motive, to make her more famous definitely. ” Its nothing beautiful, can I take a picture with you?” The crowd gasped in surprise. Ah! Sadie is so lucky! Nathan asked to take a picture with her. Someone they are all dying to take a picture with. Can someone be luckier? ” It will be a pleasure Mr Rogers ” Sadie went closer to him.
Nathan handed his phone to Kaleb as he placed his hand on Sadie’s shoulder taking a step closer to her. Sadie’s face turned red like tomato from blush. Witnessing all this, all other plans Mr Meyers had vanished. Replaced with total anger. This brat of a daughter! She has gained favour from Nathan too. He stormed his feet angrily thinking of what to do. An idea came into his head and he smiled brilliantly. ” It’s a pleasure meeting you Mr Rogers, Sadie is my daughter. I brought her up to be this brilliant infact, she got her brilliancy from me. It’s a trait. My beautiful daughter got it from me, isn’t it Sadie?” He said smiling widely. The place became totally silent that if a pin drop it could be heard. Nathan glanced at him then at Sadie.
Mr Meyer? What is he doing here? Nathan turned his hand in a fist, smilling through anger. Sadie shifted gazing at her father. What did he take her for? A fool? ” Sorry Mr Rogers, he’s not my father. He might be someone random man trying to gain your attention, sorry to say but my father died long ago. I don’t know this man claiming to be my father, I have never met him before” Sadie said calmly with no expression on her face. Once again, the crowd’s attention went back to Mr Meyer who stood frozen. This time around, it was stares of anger.
