Max furrowed his brows when someone said Kiarra's name.
"Kiarra is in school..."
"I thought she was expelled..."
"I heard she had an accident..."
"She was said to have changed school..."
"Stop the noise" Mrs Quincy said in an irritated tone. She didn't know why the class was rowdy all of a sudden until she saw Kiarra walk gracefully to her seat.
"Why are you coming to my class by this time" Mrs Quincy questioned.
"I'm sorry Mrs Quincy...I just came back from the hospital and didn't want to miss class so I decided to show up even though it was already late" Kiarra said in a pitiable tone.
"My grandma was admitted three days ago and there wasn't anyone to take care of her so I skipped school to stay with her" Kiarra continued with her drama.
One who didn't know Kiarra would feel touched by her kind and caring nature and believe every bullsh*t that comes out of her mouth. But her classmates already knew what she was capable off so they just sneered and watched the show.
"Okay now...go back to your seat and make sure to get the previous note from your peers." Mrs Quincy said as she continued teaching.
Kiarra went back to her seat and looked in Monica's direction with an angry glare. Monica felt it so she turned to Kiarra with a bright smile which angered Kiarra to the bone.
After class Kiarra approached Monica but was blocked by Max. "Why are you here" Max asked her in a cold tone.
"Maxi...I missed you so much...grandma also misses you and she wants you to visit when you are free" Kiarra said as she masked the anger in her voice with a fake smile.
She obviously knew Max had something to do with her getting punished but she didn't know how.
"Stop your act Kiarra and don't bring grandma into this. How shameful of you to claim grandma was sick for your own selfish motive"
"I've warned you before so don't blame me for whats to come next...stay away from Monica" Max led Monica by her hands to the next class after dropping that down.
Kiarra was left gritting her teeth in rage as she didn't know how to deal with Monica.
In a mansion at Country C...
"Mike love...aren't you accompanying me the office today?" A middle-aged woman called out as she walked gracefully towards the man on the coach.
"Lucy..." Mr Maxwell stood up and embraced the .middle-aged woman.
This middle-aged woman was named Lucy. She was in her early 5os and was Mr Maxwell's saviour. Lucy met Mr Maxwell on one of her visits to Country S.
During the period when Stars Corporation was on the verge of going bankrupt, she bought the highest shares and claim the position as CEO on one condition...that Mr Maxwell would be hers.
She felt this sought of spark the first time she met Mike. At that time Mr Maxwell was in his late 50s but he still looked dashing. He was very handsome especially when he smiled at her.
Lucy was a beauty herself who has met different species of men but she felt Mr Maxwell was different. The way he walked , smiled, ate and even spoke left her in awe.
She fell for him during their first encounter and did her research on him. Lucy knew of his character and the way he mistreated his wives but she didn't care about his past and approached him with the deal.
Mr Maxwell was obviously elated when he discovered his business could be saved and on top of that he would get a gorgeous wife as extra so he agreed to her request.
They got married few years ago and had an adorable son. But Mr Maxwell was still persistent on getting Mrs Martha back for how she humiliated him back then so he decided to act like he suddenly realised his love for her to get her trust once more.
"Hubby...I'll be going to Country S for a business meeting with Beauty in a few days. Their deals are enticing so I would like to work with them." Lucy said while leaning on Mike.
Mr Maxwell ears perked up when he heard Lucy mention Beauty because Mrs Martha works there.
"Why don't I go for you honey...you have been working tirelessly these days so can't I help you with this small task...or don't you trust me" Mr Maxwell asked with a raised eyebrow. He has to go no matter what.
"Okay honey...but don't spare a glance at that your old wife, I know she works there" Lucy said with jealousy in her voice.
Mr Maxwell froze. How did she know Martha works there? He questioned himself. "Don't worry honey...she is my past and you are my present and future I won't even spare her a glance" Mr Maxwell said.
"Okay now...I have to go to the office...see you later Mike..."Lucy said as she kissed Mr Maxwell goodbye before hurrying off.
"I'm coming for you Martha..." Mr Maxwell said with an evil smirk.
