The contract has suddenly been cancelled and as they speak, the contract has been assigned to a rival company and has just been signed.
He is furious. What the heck is going on? How can he lose an almost done deal? He contacted Kenaz technology and he was told that they owe him nothing.
He was the one who told them reasons why the contract was better awarded to his competitor. What is he saying?
Adrian refused to accept it and vowed to sue the Kenaz technology for turning back on their words. They’ve passed the first and second stage of the signing and just when it was time to finalise it, they gave it to his worst rival Sabastian Walker.
Adrian was furious. He slammed his fist against the desk a few times and gnashed his teeth. He would take the contract back, no matter what it costs him, he would definitely get it back.
Clem walked into his office and informed “The contract was sabotage sir but I haven’t gotten details of how” from an insider report, he got a vivid explanation that the Lester world of technology was incapable of handling it and they’re not as powerful as the Walker technology.
“I want to know every detail. I have been working hard on this project and that brat Sabastian will win over me in competition?
I will not accept defeat. I want you to arrange a meeting with the Managing director of the Kenaz technology and let’s get that contract back” Adrian thundered.
“I’ll see if I can get his assistant to arrange for a meeting with…” Clem was saying when Adrian thundered “Get the fuck out of here and get me an appointment”
How dare he say he would see “if” what nonsense. What if he couldn’t get his assistant to arrange a meeting. He doesn’t need that information, what he wants is a scheduled meeting within the shortest time.
Clem nodded and walked away. Gosh! What happened to him? He’d lost two contracts within two weeks. What the heck?
He could let that first one go but the contract with the Kenaz, no way will he sit back and fold his arms. He must fight until the contract is terminated with the Campbell technology and be reissued the contract afresh.
Walker technology is less than one fifth of the Lester world of technology. How can his conglomerate lose to such a baby company?
One month later:
Ava woke up in the Lester mansion and was glad she was going to sign the papers that morning. She was to meet Adrian Lester and his attorney in his office and have the papers signed.
She’d waited for that day for several weeks now, a day that her misery in the Lester family would cease. She felt fatigued and sleepy but she forced herself out of bed.
She suddenly felt nauseous and went to the restroom to throw up. The urge to throw up was heavy on her and she felt weak and tired.
It appears she’s sick. She’ll have to visit the hospital and get treatment. She reluctantly went downstairs to help Alice for the last time before leaving.
She’d stopped helping her in the kitchen but that morning, she decided to help her out and at the same time, announce to her that she was finally going to be free that day.
When she arrived downstairs, she felt nauseous again and she suddenly felt like throwing up. Before she could get to the sink, she was already doing so.
Alice came over and helped her. She held her and soon, Ava raised herself up, looking all pale and sickly. She felt weak and exhausted.
“Are you okay, Ava Leon?” Alice asked. Why is Ava looking so pale and sickly? She held her and helped her down on the kitchen stool.
“I think I have a fever. For three days at a stretch now, I wake up like this” Ava said and yawned. She’s feeling sleepy already.
Alice stared at her intently, her motherly gaze piercing into Ava “Do you feel this way for the rest of the day?” She asked and Ava shook her head.
Alice stared well into her eyes and Ava moved back way “Why are you staring at me as if I’m going to have a plague?” She asked and suddenly felt the urge to throw up again and she stood up quickly and went to the sink.
Now, Alice pouted her lips. Something is not alright or perhaps something that is alright is popping its head. She needs to ask Ava some questions.
When Ava returned, she looked really sickly. She almost staggered and Alice supported her. She sat down weakly.
“Ava, this is between you and I. I think you might be pregnant and we should go to the hospital secretly. What do you think?” Alice asked and Ava suddenly shivered.
She glared at Alice and her heart beat almost skipped. A sudden realisation dawned on her and she raised her head glaring at Alice with fear written all over her face.
