Felicia, there's something I and your father want to talk to you about, Mrs Kings said. Felicia sat upright her interest piqued, they had all just finished watching a movie, of course Amanda was hardly concentrating, she was typing away on her phone. Okay mum, what is it about, licia asked.
Now stop looking so scared, we're not about to ask you to get married, mr Kings teased.
Licia humorously heaved a sigh of relief and they all burst out laughing.
Over to you darling, Mr. Kings said to his wife.
Mrs. Kings rested on her husband's shoulder a smile still evident on her face. Amanda grinned, it always amazed her how this old couples still acted lovey dovey to each other.
Muuuuum.., Licia drawled. It was obvious her mum was purposefully keeping her in suspense. Mrs kings chuckled. 'As you know, I and your dad are supposed to close a deal in paris on monday but then we've decided to take a break and spend the entire week there. We'll be leaving you in charge of the company while we're gone, most especially, the contract with Jeffs enterprise. I trust you can handle that, her mum gazed at her.
Felicia was stunned, drawn to tears she choked in her sob ' oh mum, after all I did how can you still trust me'
Sweetheart, her dad drew closer and gave her a big warm hug. 'you've proven yourself to be more than worthy'She never expected a day like this would come and even if it did, not this soon. What did she ever do to deserve such loving parents. She had wrecked them completely and purposefully the last time they left her in charge and trust is something once lost could hardly be replaced so why are they giving it to her on a platter of gold. Well she is going to earn it this time."
Not you trying to steal my husband's attention from me, right under my nose is it", her mother teased.
"No ma", Licia was quick to release the supposed husband from the hug, and they chuckled, her mum sure knew how to lighten the mood.
'Mum, Dad, I promise you I won't ever let you down again', she said happiness filling her inside, her parents were letting her work in her field and this time she'll make them proud.' I promise to give my best to make sure the deal with Jeff's enterprise is a success'
"Jeffs enterprise", Amanda who had been acting oblivious to the trio interrupted.Jeffery Goodwill is the CEO, right? She looked to her aunt for affirmation.
Omg! I'm so happy for you Licia, Amanda said cheerily.' You'll be working with one of the most handsome bachelor's in the country', she whispered. Too bad, Mrs Kings heard.
' You interrupted a serious conversation to say that', her brows quirked up.
No, you probably heard wrong ma, Amanda grabbed her phone and scurried up the stairs.
What will I do with this girl, she gasped.She got the fierce spirit from you, what are you saying, mr Kings chuckled.
Licia, In all you do, I want you to know that we not only trust you, we believe in your potentials, her mum said.
Don't let your past hold you down, her dad added.
Thank you mum, thank you dad, licia beamed.
Four hours and some minutes later, after her parents had laid down a long list of rules such as * No staying out or going out after 9
* No partying inside or outside the premises and lots more rules.
Licia had laughed at their parental display. She for one, had too much on her plate to party or cross any of her parents rules, besides she was past all of that, experience was the best teacher.Her parents knew that, so the rules were majorly for Amanda.
Amanda had grumbled saying she was an adult and if she had not been posted so close to the mansion she would be at her own apartment, her grumbling didn't last long though after her father transferred a substantial amount to her account for weekend shopping, she had concurred acting like an obedient child.
Afterwards, they had prayed and her parents went to bed while Amanda sneaked into Licia's room. No, not to help find out the perfect outfit for tomorrow.
Instead stalking a certain Jeffery Goodwill. ' Mandie, will this be okay for tomorrow', Licia asked.
Yes, perfect, amanda said studying the simple short black gown licia stretched out.Okay, thanks.But is it good enough, Amanda said on second thoughts.
Isn't the gown too simple, I mean you'll be meeting a stinking rich and handsome bachelor tomorrow. How about that blue gown that accentuates your curves, she rambled.
Are you for real, right now, licia laughed seating up. Amanda, I'm going for a business deal not a dinner party and what I need from you is your prayers that things work out well and I make up for the loss I cost my parents instead of playing match maker.
Hey, Amanda climbed the bed and held her hands. ' you want a pity party but I'm not gonna pity you, she said and Licia chuckled. 'Because I trust you and ditto with your parents. What's happened in the past is in the past, you're going to break a leg, girl'. Amanda high-fived her and they laughed.
Nevertheless, a little romance is always a welcomed spice, Amanda said and Licia hit her with a pillow.
' not again, I should have known you're a lost case'
'See nah, the guy is handsome', she scrolled through his Instagram page to show licia but she was already off the bed arranging her stuffs.At least you'll need information about the guy you'll be working with for months, Amanda continued undeterred.
Top three youngest billionaires in Nigeria and he's the second, Amanda kept on ranting until she dozed off. Licia smiled seeing how Amanda was sprawled on the bed, after arranging her things, she went through some documents, read her bible then covered Amanda properly and slept next to her wondering why they had different rooms when they almost always sleep together.
