Davin slightly chuckled when he knew who was on his back.
"Get down Beverley you are not two anymore" Davin said.
"Where were you last night, I came to room, you weren't there." Beverley asked pouting as she stood cross armed in front of Davin completely ignoring Kathryn that stood there.
"I thought you left last night" Davin asked, deliberately avoiding her question.
She was a bit surprised that Davin deliberately avoided answering her, unlike before when she always gets a No or a yes for an answer, atleast it was better than this, she thought, but immediately dismissed her disappointment.
"I didn't go home last night, and I couldn't sleep last night so thought we could talk like we used to before going to bed" she said pouting
"Hmmm" Davin said before introducing the two.
"Kathryn met my childhood friend and model of our company, Berverly Simpson, Beverley meet Kathryn the president of Star Corporations" he said
"He meant his childhood sweetheart....We literally got married when we were kids Dav" she complained...
She was about to say something else when Kathryn excused herself and went straight to the table.
'ain't no way I was gon stand there and witness the foolery' she thought as she walked towards the table..
"Sit with me, it's been so long" Beverley said and was about to pull him by the hand when his phone rang.
"Go ahead, I have to take this" he said an left without waiting for her reply.
Meanwhile Beverley was smiling as she made her way to the table, pretty satisfied with what just happened.
"Aunt, uncle " Beverley purred as she embraced madame Genevieve and greeted Alexander bank.
"Am so sorry I over slept" she said pitifully garnering sympathy from the family relatives while Kimberley rolled her eyes in annoyance...
"Drama queen" Kimberley said barely audible but Kathryn heard her...
"Its ok honey, sit and have brunch with us" madame Genevieve said patting her hand.
Meanwhile.....
"Speak" Davin commanded to the person on the other line.
" Davina Montreal has a sister, long lost sister to be precise" The Private investigator said.
The new information took Davin by suprise so much so that he didnt know what to say or think...
Looking back at the diner where Kathryn was eating and chatting with Kim, he wondered if she was aware that she has a sister who might possibly be alive..
"Are you still there Mr banks" the PI asked.
"Be at the Banks mansion in the next 30 minutes" Davin said and hung up, contemplating whether he should go to table or go in and wait for owen, he decided on the former...
"Oh Kathryn, I heard that your company will be opening a new subsidiary, a security company, congratulations my dear " madame genevive said.
Kathryn was so overwhelmed she didnt know what to say or how to react at that moment..
"Thank you so much ma'am" she said smiling broadly..
Every one was having a great at the table except for the banks step relatives who were fuming at the reception the visitors were receiving from the madame.
"The security company is not a booming industry as we all know, as a matter of majority of CEO's of these security companies have some form of connections to the mafia, using it as a front to launder money and commit unspeakable atrocities, I wouldn't be suprised if your company is not in the majority" Benjamin banks asked in a condescending manner.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Arthur asked gritting his teeth in a bid to control his temper.
Just then Kimberley slid her hand under table and placed on his lap to calm him down..
He turned to look at her but she wasn't even looking at him..
The fact that she tried to calm him, made his heart flutter a bit, and like magic his rage subsided..
"Its amateurish and outright insensitive to make such statement based off of what? Statistics?..." Kimberley asked sternly..
Her uncle was shocked he couldnt find his tongue to refute her.
"Because their is no statistics backing what you just said and If I may ask uncle Benjamin, how exactly do you know this?" Kimberley fired again..
There was a momentary silence and for a full minute no one said anything...Not because they couldnt but for the fact that Kimberley who, for majority of her adult life have never cared enough to speak a single word for or against her step uncles but always maintained her distance, now all of a sudden came at one of her uncles gun blazing...No one at that table ever saw that coming, especially the banks.
Just then, Arthur slid his hand and held hers, squeezing it a little to show appreciation, this time she turned and smiled at him.
"Why dont you answer her Benjamin banks, what is your connection to the mafia" Davin asked giving him a icy look.
He looked startled with how the event turned against him.
"That's enough" Alexander banks commanded.
Just then Kathryn' s phone rang saving everyonefrom the tension on the table, the call was from l one of her men..standing up she excused herself.
"Boss, we just got information that Carlos moved up his shipment up to this afternoon, it is said to be a high profile shipments that needs to be moved with utmost discretion, as a matter of fact the shipments are already in a warehouse downtown" he reported
"Do we have information on the address of this warehouse?" She asked
"Yes boss" he replied
"get your team ready we will meet you at the house in an hour time" she said and hung up..
All the while she was on call, davin couldnt and didnt take his eyes off her, his instinct was telling that the call might have something to do with Carlos, and most of the time, his instincts were right.
"Thanks so much Mr and Mrs Banks for the hospital, it really is an honor to dine with the banks and we dont take it for granted" Kathryn said as soon as she got back to the diner..
"The pleasure is ours President Kathryn " Alexander banks said.
It was time to leave so she together with Arthur and Rebecca paid their respect..
"I have to go to mum,dad .... I have an appointment penthouse studio in one time" Kimberley said as she went around to kiss her parents.
"Take two bodyguards with you while leaving" her father said..
"I can take care of myself dad" she said while leaving...but the patriarch wouldn't take that so he instructed five of his men to shadow her every move as always...
In a less than minute everyone dispersed from the table including Davin.
_______________________________________________
Kimberley was still in the shower when her doorbell rang for the umpteen time....
Tying a towel around her slim frame and another to dry her hair, she went to get the door.
Opening the door, she was suprised to see Arthur at her door step..
Arthur on the other hand turned his face to the side immediately, to avoid looking at her almost naked body.
She smiled broadly when she saw his innocent reaction..
"How cute"she said softly,smiling brightly.
"Aren't you going to come in?" She asked..leaving the door wide open as she went in, chuckling...
