Daphne fired her a deadly glanced, she was speechless seeing how she dragged her suddenly.
"W..h.a..t.. is it ..m..a?" Daphne stretched the sentences, Flora palm covering her mouth resisted her from speaking fluently.
"Why did you run away?" Flora asked in a quiet tone.
She blinked her eyes, signalling to her to removed her palm.
"I will remove it, but you must promise me not to shout," Flora said and she nodded.
Daphne breathe in and out, before she turned her face to look at Flora properly.
"I didn't understand your question?" Daphne replied.
"Don't play dumb with me, I know you eavesdropped on my conversation when your boss sent you to call me for dinner," Flora said, her eyes exuded seriousness.
"No ma i didn't eavesdropped on your conversation, i wanted to knock on the door, but when I heard you speaking on the phone i headed back to the dinning, so that I won't distract your phone call," Daphne explained.
Flora let out a deadly smile, "And you expect me to believe you, anyway I believed whatever you say since you said you didn't hear my conversation," Flora said and turned to go away, suddenly he halted and looked over her shoulder, her face landed on Daphne who eyes was expressionless.
"I hope whatever you hear dies in you, if I hear it from anyone, you won't like what I would do to you, just an advice anyway," Flora said filled with threats signals, as she turned to go she collided with David.
"What are you doing?" David asked.
"H.m.m. Babe, I sent her to bring me another one, still she came back with the same thing for me, can you believe that?" David hasn't allowed her to finished speaking when her hand landed on Daphne cheeks.
"How dare you insult my woman? why won't you do according to her instructions?" David roared, where Daphne stood, she looked at them, as if is a dream, everything looked hazy.
.
"Am I dreaming?" She kept asking herself inwardly, everything was blurry in her sight.
She wondered if she just got slapped by David or by his woman.
"Babe, I don't ask you to slap her, you should have allow me to finish talking," Flora said and rushed towards Daphne, she removed her hand from the places David slapped and started rubbing the place for her.
When she saw David father coming, she rushed and stood beside Daphne, wanting to portray herself as a good person, she knows David father wasn't comfortable with her like his mother.
"She deserve it babe, stop pam.p.e.r.i.n.g.."
"David," The father interrupted him, as he entered into the scene, he came here to meet his son for a discussion, but he was surprised seeing Daphne with them.
He chuckled seeing Flora stroking her cheeks, he believed David has started treating her nicely just as she confessed earlier.
"Let talk tomorrow, i don't want to disturb you guys, Flora hope you are doing good?" Mr Donovan said with a beamed lips, she looked at Daphne and gave her a thump up. Without asking for explanation Daphne knows, everything that was going on in his mind, Flora has succeeded in making her lies looked real to him.
She thanks her for that.
"I will go and bring another one," Daphne chimed in, since no one is talking, they focused on Mr Donovan as he was walking back to the house.
"No Daphne, let play together, I will manage the wine in your hand,"
Flora said, and Daphne felt like spilling the beans, let her so called man heard about her wily character. But she just can't tell him yet.
After she finished speaking she turned to David," Please let her join us for tonight,"
"Okay, do whatever pleases you," David replied and walked back to the garden, with his hand banged at his back.
"Don't forget our agreement, no third party must hear about it except you want to see my wrath," Flora whispered as she kept patting her shoulder, as they walked back to the garden likewise.
************
Mr Donovan coughed repeatedly before he arrived back at the main house, his chest ached and burnt, he found it uncomfortable to breathe properly. He removed the flip flops on his legs and walled into the room.
''Welcome back darling, Did you speak with him? Mr Donovan asked.
"No, he was in a good mood tonight and I don't want to disturb him? Mr Donovan answered as he managed to slumped on the bed.
"Okay. I think you need to tell our son quickly, you sickness is getting worse now, you need to go and get treatment, and since this time it would take longer, you need to let him know everything in the company and announce him as the next president, let all those greedy cousin of yours knows their place by now," Mrs Donovan said in an urgency tone.
"I know my darling, just give me little time, I can still manage my health here for two months, within the two months I will make sure I settle everything, no need of putting my cousin in managing of the company in my absence, this time David will take charge fully and become the president, he has been trained for this, so I'm sure my son is capable more than anyone," Mr Donovan assured his wife.
"Thank you so much darling, for your support for me and for our son, we both would have died by now," Mr Donovan chimed in.
"You shouldn't thank me, we should thank the anonymous girl that saved David back then," Mrs Donovan replied.
"Yes, where ever she was now, she will know how much our heart gave thanks to her everyday for saving our pride without collecting anything in return," Saying this he hugged his wife tightly, trying not to show her how weak he was tonight.
Tonight he was exhausted and it seemed his sickness is getting worse now, he need an urgency treatment, but he will have to fly down to another country for the treatment.
The sickness is hereditary, it flowed in the Donovan's lineage although David own came promptly than the normal times it used to ensue.
