Link up with the billionaire

Fiona pls I'm exhausted already let's go home, said Emily .

Not again, she scowled. Why are u always doing this anytime we step out , we are here to have fun bitch so let's go , with excitement Fiona dragged her to the beach side after they were done drinking to satisfaction.

You do realize you have a pitch tomorrow with the investors right? and you need to be prepared for it.

Girl I have been working all through , no staycation, no vacation, no baecation , please this little time of ours let's have fun , don't ruin it.

The view is beautiful," Emily exclaimed, stretching her arms as she let the cool evening breeze brush against her skin. "Can I have a picture, please?"

"Of course," Fiona said, pulling out her camera. She positioned herself, trying to capture the perfect angle. "Alright, hold still... and-got it!" She looked at the screen, but something was off. "Wait, why do these pictures look so blurry? It was clearer earlier."

Emily leaned in to check. The sky had darkened slightly, the sun now dipping below the horizon, casting an orange-pink glow across the water. "Yeah, the lighting isn't as good now. I guess you win this time. No more photos. Let's get going," she laughed, nudging Fiona playfully.

Fiona smiled but felt a strange pang in her chest. Moments like this were rare, and she wished they had more of them. "It's been a long time coming," she said as they walked back to the car. "I've always longed for this-just spending time together. Not work, work, work all the time."

Emily sighed dramatically. "Tell me about it! If you're not drowning in meetings, you're stressing over deadlines. Honestly, I was beginning to think you'd forgotten how to have fun."

Fiona chuckled. "I didn't forget... life just keeps happening."

They got into the car, and Fiona drove to the mall. Inside, they moved from aisle to aisle, picking out groceries. Emily, as always, was the more carefree one. "Ooh, should we get this?" she asked, holding up a giant tub of ice cream.

Fiona raised a brow. "You mean, should you get it?"

"Come on, we can share," Emily grinned, tossing it into the cart.

Fiona rolled her eyes but smiled. As they continued shopping, she suddenly felt an eerie sensation-like someone was watching her. She glanced over her shoulder, but the aisles were filled with normal shoppers. Shaking it off, she focused on Emily's chatter about how much she missed their girls' nights.

At the checkout, as Fiona pulled out her card, her phone vibrated. She glanced at the screen. Another unknown number. She ignored and made payment for their items and then they headed home.

Hey girl, I'm really exhausted I'll see you tomorrow okay!

That's right, I'm going to bed see you tomorrow' Emily walked to her room same as Fiona as they bid each other good night.

Oh lord not again, Fiona turned off the alarm and got out of the bed to get dressed , I have a pitch in an hour and I can't look messy at work. She took out a burgundy colored dress from her closet , and all she needed to get her all set for work. In a few minutes Fiona was set downstairs already, looking stunning and breathtaking as always . Please hurry up I'm running late already, I have a pitch in Thirty minutes time,

I'm coming, let me get my bag, I'm all set already , and Emily rushed out . They both looked good as always, they approached the car and Fiona drove to sterling couture house and Emily bid her farewell and she headed to the office.

Good morning miss, the investors are already seated.

"Please, if she's not coming let's leave this place we have a lot of meetings to catch up with today,"Mr dean said.

The investors were about leaving when Fiona walked in and immediately she tendered her apology.

Young lady! do you think the world revolves around you?Mr Dean yelled.

I really apologize, I was a bit hooked in traffic , and she started her presentation.

Fiona gave a pleasant speech regarding her upcoming project which the investors were pleased but needed a detailed analysis regarding their investment.

Please get me my tablet , Fiona requested.

Mr Dean when it comes to this company and the project we are working on, we have a lot to offer.

Firstly, AD groups are aimed at making life a lot easier both for the wealthy and the poor masses, people will actually shop our products from anywhere in the world using the AD App without stress or complaint , and equally making it affordable and giving out the best quality. Fiona quickly outlined the other ideas through her slide, as she had a few more minutes to round up with her presentation and hear from the investors.

Mr Dean and other few investors nodded,

That was a good one, I must say and I think it is a yes from me, Mr dean said.

Fiona's eyes widened, a grin spreading across her face like sunshine breaking through clouds, a wave of relief washing over her , as she let out a small triumphant smile, her voice brimming with excitement as she replied to Mr Dean. It was a moment of pure joy until Mr Adams made his statement.

I still need more time to look into it , and also make plans to invest as well , Jayden responded.

Immediately, Fiona's countenance changed at the same time she kept her cool and she gave a brief response, that's okay Mr Jayden we will be expecting your feedback,

Thank you all for the opportunity ,and we all at AD are indeed grateful for having you here today , do have a nice day ahead.

She bowed and the investors stood up and the meeting was over .

Fiona , please wait I want to speak to you.

What do u want , I keep trying to keep off from you, but you are just persistent.

Yes! We needed investors to be part of the project , but not you . Jayden please is over can't you get that , stay away from me. I am not in any way interested so please stay clear from my path . I'm already exhausted from today's meeting and I have some files to attend to before heading out to see my suppliers , so would you likely excuse me!

Would love to take you out for a lunch or something what do you think? so we can settle our differences , I really missed u Fiona.

I'm not interested, is it that difficult to comprehend, please I don't have much time and I need to get things in place before end of day.

Why are u so stubborn , and for your notice I want to invest in that project and u ought to treat me right .

Fiona chuckled, really, I should treat you right , but u ended up making other investors not to come to a conclusion regarding the project. Please please Jayden I have heard enough, have a nice day, She left .

Keep proving hard to get , I know women like you and I know how to get them to their knees begging for me to be inside of them , is just a matter of time let's see how it goes .

What is this man upto, miss Fiona needs to be careful , a lot of things are happening in this company, Laila said as she continued dusting the louvers .

Ahh! God! I'm tired , please come through for me , I need you , Fiona was sober that evening as she got home after a long day at the office , coupled with the fact that the project hasn't been totally approved by the investors , and a lot of work needs to be put in

And then she noticed Emily wasn't home .

This woman is not back, what could be keeping her, this is past 8pm already, and she is still outside. This is unlike her

Fiona picked up her phone and called Emily but no response she called severally but her line wasn't connecting and she panicked , what's really keeping her, guess is not traffic , the road was actually free till I got home.

Who is this one calling me by this time;

hello , who I'm I unto

Madam there is robbery attack happening now at the warehouse, they shut one of the security officers, the voice was trembling and shaking.

Jesus Christ! What are you saying , my goods, my goods

I'm coming there right away.
