Chapter 23 - I Can Fight My Battle Myself

Later that afternoon, when she was sure Jimi was in the office, she made her way to his office.

Jimi was on Facetime with a beautiful model, discussing how he wanted to fly her to Zara to see him when a knock came on his office door.

He grumbled before telling the girl he was on a call with he would call her later at night, claiming he had something to attend to now. After hanging up the call he asked the person on the other side of the door to come in.

The door opened, and Lola walked in; seeing Lola, he was surprised and quickly sat upright to attend to her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lola; please have a sit.." He offered her a seat, pointing at the chair opposite him. "To what do I own this surprise visit?" He asked.

"I want to talk to you about Toby's family, " Lola started, while Jimi frowned.

"What about them?" Jimi asked

"The patriarch of Toby's family, Mr. Tade was my stepfather, and this days he has been these days showing up at my office "

"What does he want?" Jimi asked pretending to have no clue about what she was talking about.

"He claimed most of the prestigious middle-class families stopped working with them, and those who were not working with them before won't work with them."

"What does that have to do with you?" Jimi asked, still pretending to be clueless.

"He believes it's the work of the Gadon your family," Lola said while studying Jimi's expression.

"And what makes him think we are the cause?"

"He said according to his findings, there was a small clash between his wife and daughter and me, in which Grandma Gadon was involved. He believes this must have st, stimulated Grandma Gadon's anger, and she decided to deal with them." She explained.

Jimi sighed, h. He didn't hide things from Lola at this point, at least not all things can be hidden from her, so he decided to tell her a half-truth. "The thing is, Miss L7ola, we have been n taking a look at your past life,"; we started,een d Lola f drowned, sure raised by th, at revelation,n.

"Why? drowned-assure

raisedcompany has a protocol of knowing enough, about our st, aff's life," Jimi said

"But that was not in the appointment mail sent, " Lola said.

"Well, it's something we keep from our staff and 'm only telling you so you can understand what I'm about to tell you," Jimi explained.

"Okay, you may go on then"

",So we; looked into your past life and found out about how Toby's family treated you and also aago bout your mother, sowith what happened at the party we believed they hadn't learned their lessons so we decided to teach them some lessons on your behalf, note the CEO supports the decision "

Lola was surprised and overwhelmed by the support this company she had joined for bearly three months had given her, she could safely say that ever since the death of her mother no one has ever been there for her, not this way. But she will still like to do things her way, of course she wants revenge but she will like to do it her way, and most importantly the revenge was not on her stepfather but her stepsister and stepmother, though her stepfather didn't stand up to help her when she was been bully, but he didn't participate in the bully.

"I understand and appreciate the Gadon, but I will like to fight my battle myself " Lola said.

"Are you sure, i mean they arr powerful family, you sure you don't want a little help" Jimi asked with a frown

Lolo gave it a little thought, Jimi was right the Toby's are powerful family, but even if she will take help from them it won't be this way.

"I will ask if I need help" she said finally.

"Okay then, we will respect your wish Miss Lola" Jimi said with a smile.

"Thank you" Lola thanked hi before walking out of the office.
