Chapter 67
“Hey Lisa ” she heard Dina call from Behind
“Hey, Dina.” She waved at Dina who was smiling at her.
Sorry I have to go now, Tessa. See you some other time” Lisa said as she walked toward Dina.
“Hi Good morning,” Dina said, smiling at her.
“How are you doing Dina?” Lisa said and hugged her.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Lisa. I do not know how to thank you for everything ” Dina said as she pulled away from the hug.
“It’s nothing. How about Clara? My little princess” Lisa asked
“She’s okay. She’s so happy she’s finally going back to school and her face surgery is going to be done. She’s always praying for you. Thank you, Lisa. We owe you our life” Dina said, feeling so grateful.
“Anytime dear. If you need anything just call me alright? Need to get to work now” Lisa said and hugged her once more before walking to her office. Immediately she got in, she sat down tiredly and brought out her phone from her bag.
“The news is all over the company that you guys helped Dina,” Martha said as she walked inside Lisa’s office and sat on the chair in the office.
“Hey” Lisa turned to Martha who was smiling at her. She then dropped her phone.
“How’s my sexy pregnant queen doing?” Martha asked as she opened her bag and brought out two packs of snacks she bought.
She gave one to Lisa and took one for herself.
“I’m okay. Thank you ” Lisa said smiling as she opened the pack of snacks.
“We all thought Dina was a loner and sadist not knowing she was out there waiting for someone to see through her and help her. We judged her without knowing anything about her” Martha said and Lisa chuckled lightly.
“It’s alright. What matters now is that she’s okay” Lisa said and Martha nodded.
“So, what’s up with you? I heard Daniel’s gone on a business trip ” Martha said with a mouth full of snacks.
“Yeah, he’s gonna be back in a few days,” Lisa said as she ate a little from the snacks and set it aside.
“I’m surprised he didn’t go with his PA this time,” Martha said as she munched her snacks.
“Oh! I thought he went with him” Lisa said as she brought out a file and opened it. Flipping through pages by pages.
” No, he didn’t. And this morning I saw Tessa and Williams together. They were both discussing God’s know-what and were so engrossed in whatever they were discussing ” Martha said and Lisa hummed.
“Maybe they were discussing business, ” Lisa said
“Not. As far as I know, William and Tessa don’t agree but then suddenly, out of the blue Williams and Tessa are so close and they’re best of friends. I don’t trust those two. I think they’re up to something” Martha said and Lisa scoffed
“Maybe they’re both in some kind of romantic relationship. Let them be” Lisa said as she closed the file on the table.
Martha hummed and rolled her eyes. She then took a handful of snacks and put them in her mouth.
“Don’t you have work to do?” Lisa asked.
“No! I’m done with all my work. I’m going to keep you company throughout today.” Martha said and Lisa smiled at her.
“What’s that file?” Martha asked
“Oh!! It’s Dina’s. She asked me to help her to do some work on it” Lisa said and Martha hummed.
Just then she heard her phone ring.
“I’ll take this,” Martha said and walked out of her office.
Immediately she came out, Daniel’s secretary walked in holding a can of coffee in his hands.
“Good morning ma’am. Sir Daniel asked me to drop you a cup of coffee this morning. If you need anything just let me know, I’ll be at your service ” the secretary said and Lisa smiled at him.
“Thank you, ” she said and the secretary nodded before leaving and just then Martha walked in.
“Secretary Liam. What was he….” Martha paused as she saw a cup of coffee on the table.
“Oh!! He brought you this. I’m sure Daniel asked him to” Martha winked and Lisa rolled her eyes at her.
“You know sir Daniel loves you. I see the way he stares at you all the time. I’m so glad you guys are having a baby together ” Martha said cluelessly not knowing the fact that Daniel isn’t the father of the child. It was Alfred.
Lisa sighed as the thoughts of Alfred came to her mind. She then began to wonder what the cold-blooded beast was doing. If he was still searching for her or believed she was dead.
She sighed softly and shook off the thoughts.
“Are you alright Lisa?” Martha who noticed Lisa was so lost in thoughts asked
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Lisa said.
“If you are not gonna drink the coffee, I’ll help you before it gets cold,” Martha said and was about to take it from the table when Lisa quickly took it.
“You’re not gonna have this coffee, ” Lisa said and drank everything at once leaving the cup empty.
Martha laughed and stood up.
“I’ll go get mine,” Martha said and walked out of the office.
Lisa scoffed and returned to work. Going through the file, suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
She groaned as she felt her vision becoming blurry all of a sudden and it seemed like her office was turning around.
She felt a sharp pain in her head and her tummy too.
“Ahhhhh” she yelled in pain and suddenly Martha came in holding a cup of coffee in her hands when she met Lisa crying in pain.
Beads of sweat rolled off her forehead.
“Lisa, are you alright?” Martha asked
” Lisa’ Martha called out as she was already losing consciousness.
Martha then took the coffee cup and stared at it.
“Oh shit!! The coffee was poison”
