Chapter 61
One month later they started their plan, Layla has gotten the face mask she needed while Sophie already put all the evidence together and Henry already working at a popular news company through one of his closest friends who has a connection to the company.
******
Henry/Sophie: welcome home Layla
Layla: thank you, please Is there any food at home? Am famished and tired
Henry: hm, we prepared a sandwich for you, should I bring it, my queen?
Layla: hey stop calling me your queen, geez do you want me to get beat up
Henry: who will beat you?
Sophie: am about to ask too.
Layla: your fiancée, of course, you are old enough to get married
Henry: eii, am just 22 years old
Layla: geez, and you're done with your education and all, please give me food first so I can have the strength to believe
Henry: sure, hold on a minute my queen
Layla: am starting to feel like a queen
Henry: (coming out of the kitchen) Because that is who you are
Sophie: am starting to feel jealous here oo, please reduce your lovey-dovey, don’t let me die of oppression here
Henry: no one is oppressing you, so Layla how was work today, what is the new update
Layla: hm, yeah I have a new update
Sophie/Henry: so …..( eager to hear what she has to say)
Layla: hm, am not saying anything again, why are you so eager, hm the both of you
Sophie: then keep it to yourself
Layla: Are you sure?
Henry: am sure she is joking, she doesn’t mean it
Sophie: am not even ready to listen anymore
Layla: she is pained hahaha, but I will overlook her rude behavior toward me and say it
Sophie: me??? Rude behavior? Henry warn your queen if not I will beat her blue-black
Henry: hey I won’t take that from you, why will you beat my queen? Don’t ever touch her okay (smiles)
Sophie: oh, so you two are hanging up against me? No problem continues, just continue okay? (smiles secretly)
Layla: hahaha, okay so let me say it now. So a meeting was held today and they talked about giving the company to the rightful owner, so they are taking a vote in the next meeting on maybe choosing another person to be the CEO or mr Hayden should continue having the title since they think am dead
Sophie: I think now is the time to attack right
Henry: hmm yeah, if not they won’t know the truth
Layla: I told you that man doesn’t love, he is just pretending, why will he tell them am dead even though he knows am not
Sophie: hm, you know we are all human and he might want to use the opportunity to take over the company
Layla: now you are siding with him right? He has always been like this from the start and he killed my parent because of this so-called company
Sophie: you know I will always tell you the truth, the fact is as your family he cares for you and loves you but his human nature won’t let him do something right, just put yourself in his shoes; you know how his wife and daughter keep pestering him about the company
Henry: hmm, I concur with what she is saying, you just have to calm down okay?
Layla: but that doesn’t mean I should not reveal what he has done
Henry: Sure, you are taking revenge so no pity
Sophie: sure, so what is the next step
Henry: this is what we will do, let us support mr Hayden so he is chosen, and then on the day of his coronation, you dress up and go there, so all the reporters will be there and be able to capture everything.
Layla: that Plan is good but at first you need to publish the story of people saying am dead so the reporters can know what is going on, you know if they don’t know the history they won’t take me seriously
Sophie: hmmm yes and from there you tell them some people are trying to kill you and you don't have an idea who so the police start investigating and we keep sending evidence
Henry: oh yes(claps his hands) what a perfect plan but what date is the meeting, so I will know when to publish it
Layla: it's next tomorrow, I am sure you are going to get a huge bonus on this story because it is going to be rare and huge from a reliable source
Henry: hmm, don worry I will come to give you the bonus
*******Layla's room
(knocks)
Layla: who is there? Come in
Sophie: hey how are you?
Layla: am fine
Sophie: are you sleeping already ( sits down beside her on the bed)
Layla: hm not really
Sophie: I want to speak with you about Henry
Layla: oh(sits up) did he do anything bad
Sophie: hm no not at all; I notice he has feelings for you but you are not giving him a face
Layla: did he tell you he has feelings for me?
Sophie: no, but it's so obvious, and am sure you know it too but you use everything he says to you as jokes, why don't you give him a chance he is a nice guy huh
Layla: am not disputing the fact that he is a nice guy but am not ready for anything relationship, anything related to love or trust, don't you see what my first bf he is my first boyfriend, see what he did to me, I almost died
Sophie: am sure he is not that kind of guy, you are not getting younger
Layla: hmm, how do you know? Am I getting older then hahaha am just twenty years and you are thirty-three years of age who is supposed to be in a relationship? Geez you making me laugh
Sophie: see you I will soon get married, maybe this year or next year I have a fiance
Layla: you are kidding right?
Sophie: am not, am in a relationship I have a fiance and will soon get married, don't worry you will meet him soon he is coming back from abroad soon
Layla: so does he know how you are, like how you live?
Sophie: yes, he was the one I was hoping to save me from that bondage before but thanks to God am free now, so what am saying now is be in a relationship, love someone,e and let someone treat you like a queen (smiles)
Layla: good night Sophie, I want to sleep ( she yawns as she lies down on the bed covering herself with the duvet) good night, love you
Sophie: love you too( she said as she stand up, making her way to the door)
