Chapter 25 - truth revealed

Mirabel's team was announced as the winner of the fashion show.

The CEO stepped out and received the award. The guest applauded them. The CEO made his speech and specially thanked Mirabel for her efforts in bringing this designs to life.

Mirabel felt some kind of connection when the CEO started staring at her after he pecked her. She felt like the CEO should kiss her up at that stage but he didn't.

After the Fashion show was over, Mr Chris and Jerry came to the backstage to congratulate the team ones more.

You guys did a good job. Mr. Godfrey. I am really excited. I am so happy I invested with your fashion house. Mirabel come here and give me a hug. Mr. Chris said to Mirabel. And Mirabel came and gave Mr. Chris a hug.

Guess what next guys? Mr. Chris asked the team. What next? The team asked Mr. Chris.

We are going to party!!!! All road leads to cubana. Let's celebrate the win!! Mr. Chris said. The time was already 11PM when the event finished proper.

Jemima came and hugged Mirabel. Congratulations girl. Jemima said to Mirabel. Thank you but this win is for all of us. Mirabel said. I know but it wouldn't have been possible without you. Jemima said.

The staffs of Elite Fashion House headed to Cubana under the instruction of Mr. Chris.

There was dorime in the club. The team danced, drank.

The HR was trying to pretend to be happy, but she wasn't. She was búrñ!ng in anger that her plans to make sure Mirabel didn't come to the fashion show failed.

When the team was done from the club it was already 2AM before they started going home.

Jemima and Mirabel took a cab that took them home.

They slept off when they arrived home that night. They slept until 9:30am the next day which was Saturday.

When Mirabel woke up, she saw several miss calls from Esther.

She wanted to call her back when another call came in again from Esther.

Hello Mirabel. Esther said over the phone.

Hello Esther. Mirabel replied.

You didn't even tell me you were leaving yesterday and you left my bed wet outside. Esther said.

What did you put inside the tea you gave me yesterday morning? Mirabel asked Esther.

What do you mean? I don't understand. Esther pretended not to know what Mirabel was talking about.

What did you put in the tea you gave to me? Mirabel asked again.

Are you okay Mirabel? What are you talking about? Esther asked Mirabel.

That was the moment Jemima c0llected the phone forcefully from Mirabel.

You this wicked winch who sent you to put sleeping pills inside the tea you gave to Mirabel? Jemima angrily asked Esther.

Excuse you? Who are you? Esther asked. You know what? you will answer that in the Police station. You knew Mirabel had an event to attend but you made efforts to jeopardize the event by stopping her. Don't worry when you get to the station you will explain more. Jemima said and hung up the call.

You shouldn't have threatened her with the police. Mirabel softly said to Jemima. Mirabel, my problem with you is that you are too soft. You let anyone step on you. You shouldn't allow that. Jemima said.

She would call my mom that I'm threatening her with Police and my mom might start long conversation which I'm not ready for now. Mirabel said.

That's where the problem is. Because you should be ready for the long conversation. She is an Obstructionist. She should be arrested for what she did. Jemima said.

We should take it easy. Mirabel said. Until she k!lls you. Jemima said. Arghhh, Mima. Mirabel said.

Yesss, Why would you take it easy? We have to persuade her until she tells you why she did what she did. Jemima said.

How do you want to do? Mirabel asked Jemima. Don't worry, I have a plan; but then Let's talk about the CEO. Jemima said.

What about the CEO? Mirabel asked. I saw the way you were staring at him yesterday. Jemima said. I wasn't staring. Mirabel denied it.

Oo yes, you were staring. Make a move after all he is single. Jemima said.

I don't think he is single. Mirabel replied.

Really? Jemima asked.

Just then the CEO started calling Mirabel's phone.
