Kim was tired and she just needed to sleep and maybe do a few things on her laptop pertaining to her shop after breakfast and so, she had planned to just send the guest out after telling her that the one she was looking for wasn’t in.
Behind the guard walked a beautiful lady that was slightly taller than Kim but when Kim looked at her well, it was an effect of the high heels she had on.
“Gosh! How can she walk in those?” Kim wondered but she didn’t voice it.
The lady was beautiful though her face was caked with a lot of makeup and her blonde hair fell in waves all around her head.
She was in a short dark dress that had pearls at the top all around the bodice and she was clutching a small purse to match.
She had on an expensive necklace and a bracelet.
Kim didn’t say anything because the look the lady was giving her told her that she wasn’t there for friendly business.
“So, you are the woman who has made Elyes forget his manners?” Was the first thing the guest said.
“You have heard about me?” Kim asked with a smile.
“I have. But I just don’t understand what he sees in you or what made him bring you home. What’s so special about you?” The lady continued.
“Excuse me, are you here to micro scrutinise me or to look for Ely?” Kim asked.
She didn’t want to fight but she wasn’t one to run away from a fight.
But, she was wary of this lady because of all she knew, she was Ely’s business partner and Kim would hate to be the one to make Ely lose a business partner.
“I haven’t eaten breakfast, prepare me something,” the lady said and it took a while for Kim to react.
“Didn’t you hear me?” The lady repeated as she stood there facing Kim who was looking at her as if she had lost her mind.
“Who are you again?” Kim asked.
“You aren’t qualified to know who I am. Now, chop chop before I tell Elyes that you didn’t welcome me well,” the lady said.
“Wow! You okay be a pampered arse where you come from,” Kim said in a small voice but it was clear that she didn’t intend to hide it because everyone heard it.
“I will prepare something for you miss,” Zina said to salvage the situation.
“Zina!”
“What did you say?”
Both the lady and Kim spoke at once. Kim wanted to stop Zina and the lady couldn’t believe that a nobody would dare to speak to her like that.
“Listen here lady, I don’t know who you are and I frankly don’t care. The reason why I haven’t floored you is due to the respect I have for Ely.
I don’t cook and I would fall dead if I were to find myself in the kitchen cooking for you.
Now, I assume that you came here to look for Ely but something tells me that you knew he wasn’t around and that was why you came to cause trouble.
I will be gracious enought to tell him that you came of you would be graceful enough to tell me your name and that would be it.
The reason why I am here isn’t none of your concern unless you are Ely’s legal wife. Any matters you have or any questions you might want to ask about why I am here, you should address them with him because as you can already tell, I am not a bugler.
Now, please do me the favour of leaving so that I can continue with what I was doing before your highness decided to grace us with your lofty presence,” Kim said in one breath and the lady was feeling so stifled that she was almost exploding out of anger.
“How dare you!” The lady said as she lifted her hand intending to slap Kim but before she knew it, a man was standing before Kim and her hand was in his.
“What are you doing?” The lady screamed.
“I am sorry Ms Claire but Boss instructed us to take care of Ms Kim and make sure that no harm comes to her.
I suggest that you meet with Boss and question him if you have any complaints about anything,” the bodyguard said and Claire has never felt fso indignant in her life.
She was a second generation rich heiress and she always got what she wanted and according to her calculations, Ely was going to be her man.
They had slept together a few times and that made her feel that she was special since Ely never slept with anyone twice. She thus harboured the hope of becoming his wife one day.
But it seems as if her calculations were off since Elyes had brought someone to live in his house.
This was the house even Claire herself had never been allowed to visit and the only time she went there was when she pretended to take some documents to him and she was ushered out even before she could sit.
But now, there was another woman living there. The place that should have been hers.
She couldn’t take it. Her pride wouldn’t allow her to take it lying down.
She came from a rich mafia family and she would make sure that this Kim knew her rightful place.
She thus, with a redened face due to anger, looked at the bodyguard and then heaved heavily.
“Listen bitch, this isn’t over. Ely belongs to me and to me alone,” she whispered and then huffed as she left.
Sigh!
Kim sighed as she wanted the lady leave and then put a mental note on the name: Claire.
She knew that Ely had slept with a lot of women but she never would have thought that one of them would confront her inside his house.
“I thought that I was safe here but it seems as if I am not,” Kim said as she rose and walked upstairs.
She was disappointed.
She could tell from a glance that that Claire meant what she said.
So, before she got to any harm, she would take matters into her own hands.
