Chapter 60
Success in the air.
Kayla’s POV:
Veronica has been angry at me since the incidents, and now I do not know how to pacify her, now that I am no madder at her.
“Hi, Veronica!” I greeted her as she sat in the corner of her room quietly.
“Hi!” She muttered not willing to speak with me.
“I am sorry for how I treated you, before now… forgive me.” I begged her.
“I am sorry that I let my emotions get in the way of our beautiful relationship.” I told her as I saw a faint smile formed on the side of her mouth.
“It fine and you are forgiven, but I need to be on my way for my appointment with Megan.” Veronica said as she got ready to leave the house.
“Before, you do so, can I talk to you?” I asked her calmly.
“Okay!” She said as I held her hands as she sat down.
“I need a favor.” I sighed immediately I said that because I could not decipher what Veronica’s reaction will be if she finds out.
“Okay…” Veronica replied with apt attention.
“I can’t stand seeing Megan win the way she wins. I mean, you would be happy if your sister was winning instead, right?” I told her as I forced a smile.
” She thinks she is so perfect with her perfect little career and her perfect little life.” I complained.
“You are her mentee, or soon to be. Promise that you are going to do something about that!” I begged her.
“Like what?” Veronica asked me as I leaped for joy on the inside.
“You know, you are so smart… can sabotage her a bit?” I asked as Veronica looked at me awkwardly.
“Kayla, what are you talking about? I cannot do anything like that.” Veronica said to my face.
” I mean I am soon going to be her mentee, and we cannot begin on this note… sabotage!” Veronica told me.
“No!” She added.
“She is supposed to help me grow and succeed, so I cannot repay her by destroying her career” Veronica explained as I developed another the urge of hitting her, but I kept calm.
“Come on, Veronica, just a little setback would not hurt. She’s always getting in the way and making me look bad. I mean, you know the story.” I tried to convince her.
“No, I know no story!” Veronica muttered looking away.
And you know that you owe me for all the times I have covered for you!” I reminded her.
“I understand you’re jealous, but this is not the solution. Megan is a talented and hardworking person, and I won’t do anything to harm her career. In fact, I’m proud of her accomplishments!” Veronica said and stomped out of the room.
“Fine, be that way. But mark my words, Megan will get what is coming to her. And when she does, don’t come crying to me!” I threatened as she left.
“Kayla, that’s enough! I won’t engage in this conversation anymore. Let’s focus on supporting each other, not tearing each other down!” Veronica returned to tell me.
“What am I supposed to do with that statement. Does this entire place look like fairy?” I asked her irritably.
“Just get out of here!” I yelled at her.
“I need to bring Megan down by all cost, but I have exhausted my entire plan.” I lamented bitterly.
I found myself sitting on my sister’s room for hours when my phone beeped.
I had a call from an unknown caller.
“What are you doing about Megan?” A woman asked over the phone.
“Are you not willing to bring her down anymore?” She inquired as I wondered whom it was.
“Anyways, I will be leaving my address if you need my help.” The caller hung up at once as she left me wondering.
“Is this a set-up?” I wondered.
“Or another gift from God?” I wondered.
“I do more care. I would be risking it.” I concluded.
“Your sister must be a to nut to crack!” The woman said on meeting me.
“Tch!” I sucked my teeth.
“She is just being a baby.” I told her.
“Ugh, my sister is so infuriating! She refuses to help me take down Megan, and now I am more determined than ever to ruin her perfect little life!” I told her.
” I get it, Kayla. You feel like Megan’s always one step ahead.” The woman said
“And I also feel the same way any time I set my eyes on her.” The woman concurred.
“But who are you and how do you know about all of this?” I asked her.
“It does not matter; we need to deal with Megan first.” She waved my question away.
“That’s fine!” I shrugged.
“I’ve been thinking… what if we leak some accidental rumors about Megan’s work performance? Or maybe we sabotage her upcoming project? Something to make her look bad in front of the big guys in the industry?” I suggested as she looked at me gleefully.
“Hmm, you got it all right. You hit the nail right on the head.” She said happily.
“That is never a bad idea. I can help you spread some rumors. And I know someone who can ‘accidentally’ delete some important files for her project, I am that she is doing with that writer boyfriend of hers and exchange it with something wild.” She said giggling.
“Yes! Let us do it! Megan thinks she is so untouchable, but we’ll show her who is boss!” I said grinning from ear to ear.
“We’ve got this, Kayla! We’ll take her down together!” We said jamming out hands in the air happily.
“How about we have a drink?” I asked her.
“There is bar down the road.” I added.
“That is a good idea, we drink to success while we get to know ourselves.” The woman revealed.
In no time, we were sitting in the bar drinking happily.
“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe we’re actually doing this! Megan’s going down, and there’s nothing she can do about it!” The woman said happily already drunk.
“You are finally going to get the recognition you deserve!” She added.
“And the best part is, my sister has no idea what’s coming! She thinks she’s so smart, but I am the one who is really in control here.” I said as we laughed hysterically.
“You go, girl! You are taking back what is yours!” She hailed.
“To taking down Megan, and to finally getting the success I deserve! Cheers!” I made a toast.
“Cheers to that!” She replied as we clanked glasses.
We continue celebrating, feeling triumphant because I see success coming closer than I expected.
