"Then what are you planning to do? Make him jealous? Bring him down on the knees? Ignore and keep the charm ongoing?" Suzy inquired with curiosity and excitement. Meanwhile, Valeria was calm acknowledging she didn't need to do anything. "Tell me girl, what are you aiming to proceed with?" Suzy leaned in hoping to hear some kind of reply. Valeria smiled at her, placing her both hands on the marbled shelf. Now that she had Suzy around her pinkie for the inside information. Valeria knew where to find her and for what purpose.
"Have patience, girl. You shall know when it is the right time." Valeria chuckled softly, waving her hand at Suzy. "Now before your angry bird sees me here, I want you to escort me to the first floor. Heard your boss has given me a separate cabin." Suzy was taken aback as she ebbed hearing it. She had been in the corp and working for Markos for a long time. Knowing that he wasn't the kind of man who would go to lengths to do something like it. "No shit?" Her voice came out as a gasp, mixed with shock and happiness.
Rattling the keys she came out of her desk and grabbed Valeria's hands. "Are you for real? Jeez! That really is something. Hah, you have him around your pinky, eh." Suzy didn't know what Valeria did or what was her relationship with Markos. But it was enough for her for the day's gossip. "Come and see for yourself." Valeria shrugged with a smile as Suzy hopped and asked her to follow. Both of the women headed towards the elevator to get to the first floor. Valeria knew she needed to do a lot before taking any step further with her plan.
"Here we are! Good luck while it lasts." Suzy winked at her after unlocking the cabin, she had a hunch that their little affair would not last long. Unbeknownst to her, Valeria was not going to leave Markos' ass alone anymore. She simply smiled at Suzy as she went away back to her desk. Valeria headed towards the huge window in the shape of an arch. Standing in front of it, wearing a smirk she mumbled to herself. "Finally I'm back to my den. Let's see how long before I get the ownership back. Markos Moreno, you shall play by my rules."
Settling in the chair with a smile, she sighed, closing her eyes and swirled with a chuckle. Meanwhile, in Markos' cabin a storm was about to stir when his secretary walked in. "Umm–boss." Panic creased over his face because being involved with his boss; the man knew Markos' whole life. "Castello Karman wants to sign the deal with Moreno hotels. What should I tell his secretary about the signing?" Markos thought for a moment while leaning against the chair. He wanted to make sure Castello would come crawling on his knees for mercy.
"Mhm—call him next week to sign the contract. Ask the CEO to close the deal on my behalf. Inform him and instruct to contact me before meeting Castello Karman." Upon receiving the answer, the secretary went away leaving Markos alone. Valeria had no idea how Markos had planned to ruin Castello for hurting her. He was also in the process of coming up with a plan for her uncle too. "I shall make you pay for every tear Valeria shed because of you." Glancing at the ceiling he was certain about his plan.
After visiting her cabin Valeria headed back home. Miss Agnes was already waiting for her return, the old lady was standing in the ingress of the lounge. "Good afternoon, dear. How was the meet up?" She curiously asked while Valeria headed towards the lounge. She had a disappointed expression with tiredness creased over her face. "Did you two talk it out? Did you feed him with your own hands? Tell me what happened there, girl?" She followed Valeria with her slow steps back in the lounge.
Valeria slumped on the sofa placing her handbag on the carpeted floor. "I wish he did all of those things but your little boy is an asshole." Sighing heavily, pressing the tip of her nose, Valeria spoke in a shallow tone. Disappointment reeked from her whole silhouette making it impossible for anyone to not notice. "I went there hoping to sort out the mess and connect like before. But guess what?" Opening her eyes, staring at Miss Agnes with teary eyes. Valeria couldn't maintain her composure which was unlike her.
"He was already with someone else in his cabin." Miss Agnes immediately pulled her into a hug while head patting Valeria. She burst out in tears acknowledging the solace found in her arms. Holding the old lady's arms tightly with her head tucked to her chest. "Markos was fucking her. Can you imagine his audacity? The lies and deceit he has given to me." Valeria's sniffling was audible in the lounge while everyone else was occupied with their own stuff.
"Oh my goodness! I will ask him about this. Please don't cry, my child." The old lady tried to give her support and encouraged Valeria to have patience. Upon spilling the beans to her and complaining about Markos' behaviour she headed for her room. Valeria was indeed hurt with what she had seen and it made her realise that he was playing with her. Slumping in the bed, she sighed heavily as a tear crawled down to get soaked in the bedsheet. Valeria instantly decided to control her emotions now and stay only for her revenge.
Just then her phone rang and she rattled out to see the caller. "Not a bad news this time, please." Attending the call with a pale horrified expression she wished upon a solution. "Yes, Miss Sokram is speaking." Her face clearly displayed desperation. "Yes, I will be sending you the money in two days. Don't worry, yes for sure. Only two days." Ending the call she burst into tears loudly.
