Chapter 22 - overdose?

Jemima came into the bedroom and met Mirabel sleeping peacefully.

She called Mirabel's name to wake up. But she didn't. She touched Mirabel. She didn't wake up.

Jemima had to go to the kitchen and bring a bucket of water and poured it on Mirabel and immediately Mirabel woke up.

She didn't even understand herself immediately she woke up. She just checked her body and discovered she was wet.

Why am I wet? Mirabel asked Jemima. Are you asking me that question? Are you seriously asking me that question? Why have you been sleeping? Why are you sleeping? Jemima asked Mirabel.

What is the time? Mirabel asked Jemima. This is 4:15PM. Jemima said to Mirabel.

The red carpet show has started. Mirabel said. Of course it has started. Jemima said. Where's my phone? Mirabel asked. It's here. And immediately her phone started ringing it was the CEO calling again.

Mirabel immediately picked up the call. Where are you Mirabel? The CEO asked Mirabel. I'm on my way sir. I'm on my way. Mirabel said.

Jemima gave her a sign to tell the CEO that the car she entered broke down.

"The car I entered broke down" Mirabel lied. Then enter another car Mirabel. Where are you now? The CEO asked Mirabel. Sir I will soon arrive ICC. Mirabel said and immediately put the phone on flight mood and the call ended as if it's a network Pr0blem.

We need to go home now so that I can take my bath. Mirabel said as she wore her clothes.

The bed is wet. Please help me let's bring the bed outside. Mirabel said.

Jemima helped her and they both brought the bed outside.

Mirabel locked the door and dropped the key under the carpet where Esther would see it when she returns.

They took a Bike and went straight home.

Mirabel went straight to the bathroom while Jemima brought out her dress for her and shoe. She had a quick bath in the bathroom and came out almost immediately.

She started preparing, she did a little of facials skincare.

As she was preparing; Jemima asked her. Why did you sleep off like that? So if I didn't come to get you, You won't be coming for the fashion show? Jemima asked Mirabel.

I don't know, I slept off after Es... That was the moment Mirabel paused. She even stopped her makeup.

What is it Mirabel? We don't have time? Jemima said.

I slept off after Esther gave me tea and egg. I couldn't even control the dizziness. Did Esther put something in the tea? Mirabel asked Jemima.

Would I know?. Finish this make-up touches so that we can leave. Jemima said.

Few minutes later Mirabel was done and she got dressed.

By the time she was full ready for the fashion show the time was 5:20PM.

Let's go Mirabel. Jemima said. They both took an Uber.

The CEO was beginning to believe that Mirabel was working for some other company. At this time Mirabel hasn't arrived their fashion show which they have been planning for months.

The Uber took them and started heading to the Fashion show. But unluckily for them. The car broke down on the way.

Oga what is wrong with your car na? This car haven't even gone anywhere it's already having issues. Mirabel said.

I'm sorry madam. It won't take long. Let me fix it now. The Uber driver said to Mirabel.

Work car before you comeout for work, No. The driver opened the bonnet of the car.

After spending like 20minutes. Jemima suggested that they take a tricycle to the fashion show. And just like that, they ladies took Keke.

The arrived ICC around 6:01 when the major has already started.

Where would they be now? Mirabel asked Jemima. I'm calling let me call someone. Jemima called one of their colleagues to ask where they were. We are at the back stage. The colleague said and directed them.

Mirabel and Jemima arrived the back stage and saw their colleagues.

They saw the anger written all over the CEO face.

The HR was shocked immediately she saw Mirabel. But she pretended not to be shock.

"The Judas is finally here". The HR said audibly so that the whole staff would hear her.

At that moment Mr Chris and Mr Jerry came to brief them.
