The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal rose to her feet too and moving towards her friend and taking her hands she uttered,

” I promise to tell you everything soon Georgia, I give you my word”, she went so emotional after saying this and Georgia could see that her friend was in a tight spot so she decided not to ask again and responded,

“I am here for you anytime”.

Crystal had been carrying that burden for years now since she turned into an adolescent.

She was fully aware that the kind of life she was living was not the best but she had no choice as she was under her uncle and only he knew the ins and outs of her late father’s properties.

Crystal was becoming fed up with that style of life as she often asked herself whether her doing all these was necessary just for her to get back what rightfully belonged to her.

Each time she tried breaking out from that kind of life in the past, her Uncle Max always found a way to persuade her so that she would not leave.

But this time around her mind was made up as she said to herself that once she got the twenty-nine million francs CFA that was remaining, she was going to get her company from her uncle.

It was a trap that was setting for him to finally realize if he had the intention of passing over her company to her, or if he just wanted to keep using her for his selfish games.

Georgia wiping her trends face with her hands, told her that it was time for them to go as they had taken their breakfast already and the day was bright outside.

Crystal nodded in acceptance and walked to her table to get her debit card and car keys so that they could go shopping and have some fun.

She had not forgotten about her plans to visit Blaze at his house as she had to confront him for duping her but that was going to be for some other time as she deserved to be happy after swallowing in pain for forty-eight hours now was time for her to go out and see the world again.

Crystal and Georgia left the house and went downstairs, Crystal told Gina to notify her uncle that she was taking off to go shopping with her friend and that from there they would go to the mall.

Crystal entered her car and her friend joined her inside and they put on their safety belts.

Blaze was done with the first meeting he had that morning and his P. A had just reminded him of another schedule that he has for the day and he needed to attend it.

” Is that all I have done today?”, he asked walking into his office and demanding a mug of coffee.

“No, it is not all sir. You also have to meet with Ms. Claire for the business concerning the real estate property”, she continued as she turned the pages of her book.

Blaze had his coffee brought to him almost immediately as he asked for it.

His employees knew better than to mess around with their jobs as they were well-paid.

When Mary was done doing a rundown of his busy schedule she asked if there was something else he wanted her to do for him but Blaze responded,

” Not at the moment, Mary”, with his head lowered on his table while he went through other vital stuff on his desk.

Mary excused herself and left him to continue with his work as she went to her own office to solve pending issues.

His phone rang and he looked at it as though it was the first time to heard it ring with a hush, he picked up the phone and answered,

“Hello, Sir Blaze, Mrs. Koker is here to see you and he is waiting here at the reception, should I let him in?”, his secretary asked in a calm voice.

With a tight fist and angry voice, he said,

” If you let that last in here, start looking for another job. Also, tell the security agents never to let that woman come into its company again, and if she resists, force her out”, he said with a high tone of anger that even his secretary understood the issue well enough to bother him with that again.

He was in total battle with that family as they were accusing him of something he knew nothing about.

The matter has been in court for weeks now and he knew just how to dismiss the case if the worst came to the worst.

The blaze was been accused of raping a certain Ava Koker who was one of his personnel and her family had taken it to court.

Each time he thinks about that awful scenario, he feels terrible as the lady is not even amongst the class of girls he could date or make out with.

Blaze was confident that, it was one of his business associates that were behind this as in the world of business where he grew up learning from his late dad, anything can happen at any time.

“How can a lady who has been spending her time seducing me come up with such an awkward story that I asked her to come to give me some documents in my office and I raped her”, he asked himself this question laughing so hard.

He decided to let go of that mood-ruining incident and focused on the work he had on his table as time passed by with speed.

Crystal had reached the shopping center and she had seen a parking space that her small Yaris car could fit into it well without any worries whatsoever.

She maneuvered her car to station it well, without disturbing those who would be coming as well.

She was well stationed so she cut the engine of her car and removed her seat belt, unlocking the doors so that they could go out.

Becky Badmos who had seen Crystal’s car and had recognized it, stood outside the shopping center she had come there to get some things too for herself as she would be going on a trip with her boyfriend.

She had been standing there waiting for Crystal to approach her and she noticed that there was someone with Crystal, but she could not make out the person yet as the sun was too bright on them.

Becky, a natural Caramel lady, wore her thick in a tight matronly bun with a pair of jeans and a crop too exposing part of her belly including her navel.

Large black eyes in a joyful face as she saw them approaching and she saw that Crystal was with her handbag was other but Georgia.

Becky raised a hand, waving at them with a smile to make them notice that she was standing there.

Georgia who had seen someone wave at them from the corner of the shopping center raised her head and took off her sunglasses as they were no longer under the sun.

” Is that not Becky our friend standing over there?”, she asked tapping Crystal on the shoulder so that she could turn around.

Looking towards the direction where Georgia was showing, Crystal felt numbly as she walked towards her.

Becky had stopped waving and was going as they approached her.

“Hello girls”, Becky said as she hugged them warmly.

” Hi Becky how are you you look gorgeous”, Georgia spoke using her eyes to screen her whole body from head to toe.

“Hey, Becky, how are you holding up with Makepe, hope it is as good as it has always been?”, Crystal asked with an immense smile.

Becky smiled back and as usual in her proud self, she flung to their faces her pieces of stuff that she came to purchase from the shopping center.

“That is great I am happy that you still find places to have all the hood things you like over here”, Georgia answered.

With a flow of emotions, Georgia asked Becky how Simon was and that completely turned her off.

” My darling boyfriend is doing perfectly fine and he is the person I am waiting for as we speak”, she announced giving Crystal a dirty look, gnawing on the gum that was in her mouth like one psychopath.

Georgia who had noticed where Becky was taking the conversation, decided not to ask any future questions on that topic as it was obvious that, Becky still had not forgotten about the awful incident that happened during their high school days.

As Crystal was about to ask Georgia for them to leave, a black Renault car had just stopped in front of the girls and while they were wondering who it was, Becky was cracking up like a minor who had seen her crush for the first time.

A young man opened the door and stepped down his one leg out of the car, pulling his whole body out as he arranged his glasses and standing out completely from the car, Becky had jumped on him dropping down her bags.

That was Simon Cowell, the guy that every girl was crushing over back in college but he was head over heels for Crystal.

That was the reason for the bitterness in Becky’s heart to date as he was never in the picture as long as Crystal was around.

Simon, taking off his glasses saw that Crystal and Georgia were the ladies he had spotted from his car mirror when he was still in his car.

With so much happiness, he had put down Becky and went towards Crystal extending his hand to her to greet her.

Crystal who had been staring at the whole thing, knocked off Simon’s hand and gave him a warm embrace instead.

Georgia chuckled as she knew very well that, the reason her friend had done that was to spite of Becky who was over-shaking throughout the time they had been standing there.
