The ladies were escorted into the VVIP section of the restaurant by the manager..
Just as the ladies settled in, the manager came in with two waiters who waited on them as they went through the menu..
"An Italian restaurant?" Kathryn asked as she went through the menu...
"Yes....I have always wanted to own an Italian restuarant ever since I went on vacation in Milan ....they save the best cuisines in Europe" Kimberley said proudly..
"You own this restaurant...?" rebecca asked..
"Yes, its my first and no its not a subsidiary of Zetrov"
"Its really beautiful" Kathryn said sincerely...
They went on to place their orders...
Kathryn ordered spaghetti alla carbonara, while rebecca ordered bistecca alla fiorentina with tuffle paste on the side...
Kimberley ordered fiorentina steak...
In less than twenty minutes the waiters brought in their order and placed it neatly on the table...
Just then the manger came in with a $25000 rare vintage Château Lafite Rothschild red wine to compliment their palate.
"You may go" kim said while the waiters and manager walked out quietly..
The three dug in and started eating...
"Hmmm" Kathryn moaned as the creamy flavor of the carbonara hit her taste buds...
"Ok, this is so good..my god!" Rebecca purred..
Kimberley smiled with content on seeing their reactions...
They ate in silence , savoring the exquisite taste of the meal...
"I heard, star entertainment is looking for a lead actress for their upcoming series, 'who murdered bill'..." Kimberley enquired as she sipped her wine leisurely..
"Yes, unfortunately the only lead actress that could have bodied the role underwent an appendectomy so we are in a look out for another lead actress" kathryn said..
Kim had a cool and calm aura about her that made kathryn trust her and because of that she treated her like a friend she can trust..
"Mmm..."
"So kim tell me, why did you come to my office today" asked kathryn, just then Kimberley snatched Kathryn's phone that was on the table and dailed her number before gaving it back...
All of this happened in less than 60 seconds..
"You might be the only one in the country that doesn't lock their phone" Kim said meaningfully..
"What am I gonna do with you" kathryn said smiling...
This her new friend is so cheeky, and unpredictable...
'I would have given you my number if you asked me, you didn't have to steal it in front of me' she thought as she shook her head...
"I forgot to collect your number last night, so...." she trailed ..
"So that was why you came to the office" rebecca asked knowingly. ..
"One of the reasons...." dipping her hand in her Louis Vuitton bag, she brought out a gold card...
"My parent's twenty five years anniversary is this Saturday, you guys are invited, the venue is at banks mansion" kim said handing her two gold cards
The cards were customised, with star corporation boldly written in one and Kathryn and rebecca written in another...they wondered why the two cards..
"Well, the first card with your company's name on it is an official invite from my mum, while the second with just your names is from me....I am inviting you guys as my friends" kim gladly explained...
On hearing that her idol Madame Genevieve specifically invited them, made her heart swell, she couldn't believe it..
"You mean Madame Genevieve specifically invited us" kathryn asked still in shock..
" well yes, she initially wanted to hand it to our butler to deliver directly to your company, but I told her I was going to meet you anyways so she handed it to me" kim replied..
"Wow,..." kathryn couldn't conceal how happy she was, who have thought...
'Things are moving faster than I expected, should I be worried' Kathryn thought but dismissed the thought immediately.
They went on to chatt for another thirty minutes before leaving the restuarant..
The driver took them back to the company....
"Lets go for spa on Saturday before the party, I will pick you guys" Kimberley said as she hugged them good bye before driving off...
"She didn't even ask for our address?"rebecca chuckled
"I guess she will call" kim said smiling before walking back into the private elevator...

"Where is my son" Mr Patrick banks roared as he forced his way into Davin's office..
"I'm so sorry sir, I couldn't stop him" the assistant apologized
Sighing, he waved his hands and dismissed the assistant..
"What can I do for you Mr Patrick" Davin asked indifferently while he continued with his work..
"I said where is my son" he barked..
"Lower your voice or I will call the security to kick you out"
"How dare you, I am your uncle for Christ sake I demand some respect" Mr Patrick barked yet again.....
"You seized being my uncle when you started stealing from the company..." Davin replied coldly..
Sitting up, he stared at the shocked face of his uncle...
Mr Patrick stood rooted at the spot with shock written all over his face...
So many thought rushed through his mind, he was sure he was very careful...
'How did he find out' he thought....whatever he was going to deny it anyway..
"You thought I wouldn't find out" he smirked..
"Are you accusing me of stealing from my own company"Mr Patrick said faking agitation..
"It will be an accusation if there is no substantial evidence, and for starters its MY company not yours" Davin said coldly...
His gaze was so cold and distant that mr Patrick took a step back...
"You have two days to resign from your position as the director of our textile subsidiary and sell me your stocks" davin said indifferently as if he was discussing about the weather..
"I will not resign and will certainly not sell you my stock, who do you think you are" he was livid..
"Then be ready for what will happen....on a second thought let me tell you what will happen" he dropped his pen and stared at him..
"In twenty four hours I will fire you from your position, take your stocks and sue you for money laundry and fraudulentactivity using the company's funds....as for your son I will make sure he rots in jail for all the evil he has done that you helped him cover up all these years"...Davin said smirking..
Mr Patrick almost collapsed, how did he find out...
He was visibly frightened and fidgeting...
He was still contemplating on how to counter what he said before he was asked to leave...
"Are you deaf, get out" davin said coldly and continued with his work..
Mr Patrick staggered on his way out...he was in shock when he walked out from Davin's office..
"Mark come to the house immediately, I have a job for you" he said as he entered the elevator.
'I will not go down easily' he thought on his way to the parking lot.

Davin tugged on his tie as he rested his head on the headdrest of his Audi M3, visibly tired while his driver drove him home...It was already 5.00 pm..
While waiting at a red light a call came in, seeing who the caller was he switched off his phone and lay back on the seat and for some wierd reason he turned his head to his left, just then he saw kathryn seated at the back of her car, with her closed eyes while she rested her head on the car headrest...
Thinking that maybe his mind was playing tricks on him he looked again...
It was indeed her, he smiled...
'She must be so tired that she is sleeping so soundly in the car' he wondered..
Just then the figure turned and stared back at him, catching him off guard..
He immediately turned his face, embarrassed at being caught staring...
The tip of his ear turned pink as he wondered what she would think of him..
He mentally chided himself..
Because their car was slightly close, Kathryn was able to see the pink tip of his ear,she was amused for some reasons.
Just then the light turned green and her car zoomed off..
'Damn!' He cussed..
