At Valentine Enterprise, Kelly was busy doing paperwork, I was busy drinking tea and relaxing.
"Miss Roselina, please look at this."
Tia took her phone and showed me.
"Fufufu, it seems those researchers are blaming the cave on an unstable support pillar," I muttered.
"They don't want the public to find out about what they've been hiding under there," Kelly concluded.
The door is knocked, Diane and Debra came in
"Madam President, Natasha Newton is this on the line, she wishes to speak with you."
Kelly took up the phone and answered the call. While she's busy talking business I turned go Debra.
"So Diane, How is my little Debra fairing?" I wondered.
"She's excellent, She's a quick learner and very adaptable, however her quiet tendency seemed to be preventing her from interacting with people," Diane explained. Then she giggled.
"Is that so?" I pat Debra's head as she look down on the ground. "Hang in there, you'll be fine. If you continue to work hard for us and prove your worth. I may grant your wish and turn you into pureblood."
I whispered.
Kelly got up from her desk and put on her tiger coat. "Mistress, there is a business meeting that would expand our business, I would like your permission to go?" Kelly queried.
"Why ask…I'm tagging with you as well you don't mind do you?"
"No, I would be honoured for you to accompany me," she rejoiced.
We reached the bottom floor where it seemed to be a commotion, it was Debra's mother fighting the security to see Debra.
"What's going on here?!" Kelly barked.
Seeing Kelly's face of seriousness and anger they all quiet down.
"Miss Valentine, this woman is causing trouble here," the receptionist explained.
"I know here, she's Debra's mother," Kelly uttered.
"See, I told you all she know me, You'll think twice—"
"What are you doing here Mrs Miriam?" Kelly asked hostilely.
Miriam turned pale and became submissive. "Well, I just want to see my precious little girl to see how she is doing?"
"Is that so…I seem to recall you saying you have nothing to do with her and I remember telling you to never let me see again, get her out of my sight."
"Please miss Valentine, wait."
As the security approached Miriam she fell to her knees.
"I know I was wrong to have treated my daughter like that, it took me sometime to understand what she was feeling, my husband started taking out his frustration and anger out of me.
Please I beg you, just give me one more chance to make things right," Miriam explained, with tears flowing from her eyes.
Everyone looked at Miriam on her hands and knees before kelly. She's lying of course but other than Kelly and I, everyone else was believing her facade
How will you handle this Kelly?
"Tell me, Where is your husband?" Kelly queried.
"He's at work."
"Well since he's abusing you, I'll do the favor and call the police." Kelly took out her phone. "...Or better yet, I'll call the Chief of Police, that way he won't do it ever again."
She started to dial the number.
"Wait, you're calling the police ?"
Miriam started to turn pale with fear.
"He's abusing you, and since your Debra's mother, I'll do you a bring justice to him for you...Hello, Yes Mr Mclaughlin...Yes, I have a—"
"Please wait," Miriam shouted. "Please, don't send my husband to prison "
"He's an alcoholic and an abuser, why would you defend a man like that? Is there something you would like to tell me?" Kelly asked.
"..."
"I didn't think so, ...Yes I would like to file a report about a family who's abused there."
"Wait, he's not abusing me!" Miriam shouted.
"The truth is I only wanted to show pity so you could give us extra money."
Hearing that everyone started to clamour.
"She did this for money?"
"How despicable."
And the clamour continued.
"I gave you 1,000,000 pounds only 2 weeks ago, where has that money gone," Kelly asked.
Miriam couldn't answer. How the hell does one million pounds vanish in the blink of an eye?
"It's a good thing I didn't make that call and waste Mr Mclaughlin time with someone like you...I already told you before, don't show your face to me again, now get out of my sight," Kelly ordered.
Miriam stood up. "This isn't over yet, one day I'll make you pay."
"Pay for what? I took the daughter you were abusing and gave her a home, you should be on your knees thanking me, instead here you are threatening me, why hasn't anybody moved to get her out of my sight?!"
Getting shouted at instantly made the two security guards drag Miriam out. Suddenly I started to giggle and hold Kelly's hand.
"Come on big sister, let's not waste time with her, we don't want your reputation to be ruined now would we," I said with a smile.
"Yes, let's go."
She doesn't have connection, power or magical power to do anything to us. Kelly starts the engine of her car and drive off into traffic
I started to clap. "That was an excellent performance, I'm in awe," I praised.
"I just couldn't stand the sight of that woman."
Kelly seemed to be upset, I smiled and relaxed back in the car seat.
Later that evening.
We got out at the car and look up at the skyscraper before us. Who knew Yuna Newton is the CEO of Newton Fashions, the biggest fashion industry in all of England .
"What are we doing here?" I wondered.
"Yuna is showing me a new line of products she wishes for us to sponsor for the runway," Kelly explained.
Fashion that isn't one of my strong suits, right now in a half black, half white vest with a red bow tie around my neck, waist and ankles. I'm just not used to picking out women's clothes. We walked into the building and there was a girl waiting for us.
"Miss Valentine, I'm Hanna Indiana, Miss Newton's First Secretary and she has asked me to escort you."
"Of course."
We went up the elevator and as soon as the door opened we saw people passing by with racks full of clothes, boxes with shoes and hats and wigs. We were guided to Yuna's office, there was an old lady I'm her 50 who looks Surprisingly young for her age, she got up to meet Kelly
"Kelly darling, how wonderful is it to see you?"
The two held each other's hand and kissed each other left and right cheek like two high school girls.
"How come you never call?"
"Busy with work, you know how it is?" Kelly replied with a smile.
"And who is this adorable young lady?" Yuna asked as she looked at me.
"This is Roselina, my beloved younger sister," Kelly responded, hugging me from behind.
"I didn't know you had a sister."
"Well there are a lot of things you don't know about me," Kelly replied.
"Come here darling, let me get a good look at you," Yuna requested..
I don't sense any Ill intent, I turned my head and looked at Kelly who nodded and so I stepped forward. The old lady started to examine my face, she held it and rotated it around.
"Yes…Yes…Mhm."
The old has seem to be in love with my cute face even thought her face is straight. It's understandable, everywhere I go people are looking at me like I'm some sort of angel. Most want to talk to ne but are afraid of Tio and Tia, Some want me to become idols.
"She's beautiful," she muttered, then closed her eyes.
Is she not satisfied?
"Hanna, get Mattist to come to my office."
And so her secretary who sat at her desk outside page a man to come up. It was a white man,with a gayish attitude, a nice suit, glasses and carrying a ball spot.
"Yes Mrs Yuna, what can I do for you?" Mattist inquiried.
"Take this young girl and fit her in the best out, she's Kelly's younger sister and just look at her, she's a doll."
"Yes indeed she is."
"Listen, try her in that dress with the red frill and I don't mean the one from ferry."
The old hag started to give mattist a bunch of details about what I should wear. It seems I'll be doing a photo shoot just for kicks. For 2 minutes the old hag continued to blab about clothes what to choose, what not to choose, what belt, get this from the sewing department. It seems when I come to her work she's serious and she looks down upon people who are of equal and lower rank than her. She's kind to Kelly because she's one of Kelly's best friends and Kelly is sponsoring her business.
"Did you get all that?"
"Yes Miss Yuna."
That's a lie, There is no way a human could remember 2 minutes worth of talking.
"Come young lady."
"Okay, big sister I'll soon return."
I gave her a hug just for show.
"Have fun," Kelly said with a smile.
"I will."
I followed Mattist to the fitting department, where a bunch of clothes was.
"Ladies, I want you to gather around, chop chop."
The male and female employees gathered around.
"This is Roseline Valentine, the younger sister of Kelly who sponsor us, Miss Yuna has asked me to fit her with some nice outfit so this is where you go all out, shoes, dress anything you can find in her size, treat this as if your making a dress for a angel, let's hussle people."
At Mattist words everyone scattered in all directions, moving and searching for clothes.
"Let's go darling, we're going to make a goddess out of you," Mattist stated.
Why does it feel like I just walked into the clothes store of hell?
........
Kelly and Yuna sat in the office talking.
"Work has been hectic." Yuna sighed. "Where's my coffee? I need my coffee."
As Yuna spoke the second secretary hurriedly entered, bringing the coffee.
"Yes, You can leave now."
After the secretary left, Yuna sipped her coffee.
"Now, let's get down to business," Kelly said.
They started to talking about the fashion designer John John Sharloo is coming into day with a new line of products ,which they need to evaluate before putting it in the runway
"Don't worry my friend, Whatever decision you make I'm up to it," Kelly said.
"Yes, thank you for that."
Suddenly Kelly got up.
"Where are you going weren't finished yet?" Yuna wondered.
"I'm going to see how my sister is doing."
"Then I'm coming with you."
And so Kelly and Yuna took the elevator down to the fitting department. The door opened and people were scurrying around.
"Pure white skin that's smooth to the touch, long silky white hair, a beautiful face and slender body, oh my, this girl is the pinnacle of petite, marvelous, absolutely marvelous!" Mattist yelled in excitement.
Kelly was surprised to see them putting Roselina in new clothes one after and changing her hairstyle with each new outfit. There was a cameraman clicking a few photos nearby.
"How long do I have to do this?" Roselina asked as she was sulking from embarrassment.
"Don't worry, the shows are not over yet..Oh, Miss Kelly and Miss Yuna," Mattist uttered as he turned to Kelly and Yuna.
"How is the fitting?" Yuna asked.
"Perfect, this girl is marvellous, I've never seen anything like her and the best part, she doesn't know it, she's an angel," Mattist responded.
'Fufufufu that's my mistress for you, she captivates anybody without even trying,' Kelly thought to herself.
Kelly smiled and turned to the mattist. "Listen, I want a copy of every photo undersood."
"Yes ma'am."
