Fate

Chapter 7

Sandra followed Justin over to the balcony.
"So this how it will be?" Sandra got closer. "I wonder what my parents will say about it today at dinner, am sure you dont even remember there's a meeting today"

Justin was now confused , he wasn't aware of any dinner plans that were made.

"Am sure you wouldn't want them to know anything, now excuse me i have to ready myself" Justin said walking towards their bedroom.

  Everything was well prepared for the dinner , one couldn't tell the disagreement between the husband and wife who sat next to each other with smiles on their faces ,  well they had other guests as well,  some family friends who were business men.

 They talked non- stop about business.

 "I hear theres a new lion in the industry" Mr Brighton said as everyone was now waiting for desert.

    "You dont say  , how many dens are we talking about here?" Mr Humprey enquired.

    "13 so far , properties of the Kriss and some few others from some individual business men" Mr Brighton added.

    " my father has been selling some of his companies , didn't say much you know the old man" Mr Kriss added.
 
"but am abit curious about this new lion"

  " they call him the invisible one , from what i heard no one has really seen him , runs the companies from the other side " mr Brighton added.

  " playing smart i see" Justin commented,  there talk was endless that Elena who was bored already walked out of the table as soon as desert was served. Mrs Kriss and sandra's mother were listening as they have always done.

Stacey and layla were at home speaking endlessly of Layla and her new catch.
 
  " .... not just that he took me to one of his shows Stey , and he will be coming tomorow .
i want him to meet you" layla was telling stacey all about her and Alvin ;apparently things worked to her favour and they had gone so far , that they were currently on a serious relationship.

    " i bet you laugh every damn time you spend with him" Stacey teased her back.

   "You dont want to know what goes on Stacey"

    " i'd rather not" she said laughing abit seeping her cup of cofee , they were having there late night conversation that they usually did every night , with Brandon sleeping.

   "So tell me Stacey , how are things with Justin doing" layla changed the topic back to her.

    " not so good  , i have been avoiding him but he keeps on trying to get to me. "

    " The poor man is obviously still inlove with you"

    " i know " Stacey said looking aside , she heard some groaning it was coming from his son " layla i think something is wrong with Brandon"

she was already at his door step,

" son what is it"  Brandon was turning and turning all over his bed sweating profusely , she quickly ran to his bed placing her hand on his head to feel his temperature he was really hot.

" layla please get me some pain killers" layla quickly rushed to her house , she was  Brandon's doctor ,  and so she had all the information on him concerning his condition.

   " mummy my head" Brandon said weakly to his mother ,she was worried the last time her son had this kinds of headaches the doctors had requested for a surgery which was to either make him mentally ill or lose his life , she had been continually stressed,  she couldn't let them do that to his son,  lucky for her layla was such a outstanding doctor and had offered to keep watch over Brandon at all times.
