It is to say that for the rest of the night, Darcia was in a bad mood. She didn't know what she was feeling at that time, apart from the fact that she just figured that Denzel's girlfriend was Amelia, Zachary's secretary
What her mind was solely focused on was the way Denzel looked at Amelia, his smile was so wide that it reached his eyes
"He never smiles at me that way, damn he never looks at me that way" Darcia muttered and frowned when she realized what she just said
"That bitch, what is she up to?" She muttered when she remembered Amelia
Denzel wouldn't probably know because he was blindly in love. Darcia rolled her eyes at this
No matter how she tries to shake off the feeling, it was still there, stuck there. For some reason she wants Denzel to be free with her just like he was to Amelia
"Humans are weak" she spat as if trying to remind herself something
He wouldn't take it the same way Corrie did when he figures who she really was.
Darcia couldn't sleep a wink at night, the thoughts were still in her head coupled with her insomnia. She walked to her drawer and pulled out a bottle of drugs and brought out two pills, she had gotten the drugs from the hospital
It's supposed to make her sleepy. She laid down on her bed after taking the drug but oddly she couldn't sleep a wink until the next morning

The next morning in the office, Darcia was working on her laptop when she heard a knock on the door, it opened abs Corrie's head popped in
"Miss Adrielle is Denzel" Corrie said and Darcia looked up, though her face showed no emotion, she suddenly felt weird
"Okay" she replied and Corrie closed the door after going out
Soon another knick came and the door opened revealing Denzel. He walked to Darcia who seemed to be busy with her work, he cleared his throat and she looked up
"Good day Miss Adrielle" He greeted
"Hmm" Darcia responded lazily
"I found the two in the marketing department" He said
"Okay what about the production team?" She asked
"I'm almost done with that one" he replied
"I want us to find the four idiots, I want to push them out all together" She said and Denzel nodded
"Alright" he said and went out.
Darcia sighed immediately he went out and frowned. What was this feeling? She suddenly felt nervous at his presence, maybe it was because he was her mate. Maybe.
She rested her head on the desk and didn't know when she slept off. That was what Denzel saw when he came back in an hour later, he walked closer
"Miss Adrielle?" He called softly but only got a soft exhale as a response, his lips curled up in a faint smile
"That's right, you need rest" he mumbled and she exhaled softly again
He stretched his hand and removed some stray hair from her face and her full face came to view. Denzel looked at her, from her pale smooth face to her long black lashes, then her button nose and full pink lips, her hair was raven black making her face stand out more
"I have a pretty boss" Denzel muttered as he stared at her for some seconds before closing the blinds, the room dimmed for a bit so the sun wouldn't disturb her sleep, he left the office afterwards
"Have you submitted it?" Corrie asked when Denzel walked out if the office
"She's asleep" Denzel replied
"Ahhh, she looked quite tired when she came in today" she said and Denzel nodded
"I'll come later when she's awake" he said and left
"She must've been really exhausted to be sleeping by this time... Orrr.... Vampires.... They're not bats right?" Corrie gasped as she let her imaginations go wild
Immediately her phone rang and Maverick name popped on the screen, Corrie smiled and answered the call
"Hello"
"Baby" came Maverick's raspy voice that immediately sent goosebumps round Corrie's body
"Maverick" She muttered
"What are you up to?" He asked
"I'm at work what do you expect me to be up to?" She shook her head
"You free tonight?"
"Yea why?"
"What do you think of dinner in a fancy restaurant" Maverick asked and Corrie could imagine him doing his brows wiggling
"Sure" she replied with a smiled while she played with her desk pen
"I'll pick you up, bye baby"
"Yea" she replied and ended the call.
Well, they had decided to take things slow but Maverick wasn't getting any of it as he was making Corrie fall for him everyday without trying hard
As soon as the call ended, Livia walked to Corrie from wherever she came from, she was holding her stomach while chewing something in her mouth, Corrie knew immediately that Livia went to eat
"How many plates this time?" Corrie asked
"Five, I had to stop because of the weird stares I was starting to get" Livia replied and sank on the seat beside Corrie lazily
"Do you like the spaghetti and meatballs that much?"
"I took fifteen of the meatballs" Livia said and Corrie opened her mouth in shock
"How come?.... Gosh your future mate must be a really strong man" Corrie said shaking her head
While Livia blushed as she remembered Jevin
"Yea, wishing he is too" she gushed
"You're thinking of Jevin again right?"
"It's not bad to crush on such a handsome.... What do you call it again?....yes hunk, hehe" Livia said and Corrie shook her head
"Please get out"
"Wish I could but I'm stuck with you forever" Livia shrugged and immediately hugged Corrie who almost screamed
"Gat away from me you clingy thing, I'm not Jevin ewwwww" she yelled and rushed away from Livia.

Amelia stroked her mother's hair as she thought of what Zachary had said earlier today.
"I'll pay for your sick mother's bills and move her to a vip ward where she'll receive the best treatment and will be back on her feet in no time... Remember I'll take care if the bills ... Everything" His voice rang over and over
Amelia looked down at her mother who was sleeping peacefully, she was suffering from stage one cancer and brain tumor. The doctors said if she's not operated on in a week time, nobody knows what next might happen
Amelia loves her mother more than anything of anyone else in the world, not even Denzel,
Not even Denzel...
Amelia took out her phone and dialed Zachary's number, he picked after a few rings
"Sorry to call you this late sir" she said
"It's no problem" Zachary replied
"I'm interested, your offer.... I'll do it" Amelia said earning a chuckle from Zachary
"Alright, I promised I'll foot your mother's bills, her surgery will be done before the week runs out" he said and Amelia smiled
"Thank you so much sir" she said and Zachary hung up the call.
"I'm sorry Denzel, it's for mom" She muttered with clenched fist.
When Zachary ended his call with Amelia, he called someone else immediately
"Time to set up the plan" He said and a light chuckle cake from the other end
"Sure" the voice said before hanging up the call.

Meanwhile, Darcia had woken up from her really long nap as it was almost time for closing. She sent the driver back home few hours ago before sleeping and had told Livia to walk around for the night
While Corrie was free to go on her date with Maverick. Why was she doing all of this? Because she had a plan...
A knock came on her office door and Darcia immediately leaned weakly on her chair, the door opened and Corrie came in with Denzel
"Good evening Miss Adrielle, I searched through and Mr Washington was the only person available" Corrie said
"Available for what?" Denzel asked confused
"You see, Miss Adrielle's driver has something important to attend to and Livia rushed out for a few hours, well me I'm going out on a date so that means no one will be able to take her home..." Corrie explained and put on a pitiful face
"She's not strong enough to drive, can you help us please?" Corrie asked
"Sure" Denzel nodded immediately and Corrie smiled at this
"Thank you, goodnight Miss Adrielle" She said and ran out
Denzel turned to Darcia who really looked sick, her face was even paler than earlier, he assisted her up and out of the office and they headed for the underground parking lot where her car was parked
When they got close to the cat Denzel's phone rang, Amelia's name flashed on the screen. Darcia who saw this looked away coldly
Her eyes turned dark as she heard Denzel whisper
"I'll call you back babe"
She sighed silently as she wasn't in a good mood anymore. It seems she needs to start up her plans
Both the one to eliminate Zachary forever, completely and the one to make Denzel hers
She needs to accomplish both as soon as possible.
