Hired But Conspired

GAME OVER, GAME ON

After opening several doors, I finally got to the restroom where Wesson was. I tried opening it but it was locked.
I knocked on it several times before He finally opened the door.
"So you're really capable of things like this, I thought of you better. I don't need you here just get away!" He shouted.
"Do you know the sacrifices I've made for you? I'm trying to save you from being ruined and here you are being a fool!" I turned my back to walk out but I froze seeing Cheadle stand there.

"Cheadle, what are you searching for?" I said trying to collect myself.
"You" He replied looking around the restroom trying to look for anything fishy, I suppose.
"I came to adjust my makeup, for you"   I said with a wink. I mentally thank Wesson for keeping his cool in there.

~∆~
"Please may we all maintain orderliness and serve the tea of our choices." Wesson said to the crowd.
Cheadle squeezed my hand due to the excitment bubbling in him.
"You seem so excited, what's the good news?" I asked wriggling my eyebrows.

"I would tell you, very soon."

Aella walked up the stage "Sorry everyone for the inconvenience, Can we all move outside to enjoy the cool weather. We would have everyone's tea served outside and there are a lot more varieties to compensate for the stress. Thank you."

Everyone made to go outside but Wesson seems confused. Oh, Cheadle is even more confused.

A received a text from Wesson.
"Your plan? And what the hell is going on?!"
I chuckled slightly only to see Cheadle frown. "What's funny?"

"Got a text from a friend, a girl no worries". Cheadle looked at me suspiciously before trying to find out why the arrangements has been changed.

People had started serving their tea and commending the Bosemans.
"Sorry Wini, I'll be back" Cheadle whispered in my ear. "Don't worry you won't meet me here" I said to myself.

As soon as Cheadle went out.. I texted Wesson to meet me at the area behind the party. I was surprised to see him there waiting for me. He is really fast.

"You're quite fast Wessie" I said emphasizing on the nickname I just made for him. I know he's gonna hate it.
"What's happening?" He asked ignoring his new nickname.

"Cheadle poisoned your tea and.. we got a new batch" I said shrugging like it's no big deal.
"Poisoned? How?? And how did you get to know?" He asked me holding my shoulders and shaking the life out of me.

"I won't be able to answer if you keep shaking me like a bottle of medicine" I replied trying my best not to burst into laughter. "I will tell you when we get home" I said walking away.

"Home?"

"Yeah, I'm coming with you. I won't be allowed to go back to Cheadle's mansion and I'm definitely not going to sleep on the streets. You can get me my own personal accommodation if your Mom will get in the way" I said going back to the party.

"Where have you been? And what is happening?" Cheadle shouted at me looking furious.

"I went to receive a call and besides how am I meant to know what's happening when I have been with you" I said raising my voice too.
"Be of some use and find out! They are ruining my plan!" Cheadle shouted smashing his phone.

"You aren't meant to this angry, it's just a change in arrangement" I said. "Wait, what plan are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"You know what? Just forget about it. It was just a misused word" Cheadle said trying to pick the pieces of his phone.
"If you say so. I have to go party!".

All the guests are seated and everything is going well. Gosh, I've been so stressed out working for two rival companies! I need time to get myself together.
"Are you okay?" Wesson asked me.
"Yeah just stressed out I replied rubbing my forehead.

"Leave her side you d**k! She's mine alone. How do I make you understand? She's mine!" Cheadle shouted making jolt.
"Sorry to say but she signed my company, Cheadle" Wesson said emphasizing the "My"  word.

"I got her now so back off!" Cheadle said losing patience.

"Why don't we ask her herself?" Wesson said.

Why would Wesson say that now? Gosh! "Hmm,". I didn't have the chance to talk when the Police arrived. Thank God.

"Good morning Mr. Cheadle. We would like you to come with us for questioning" One of the Police man said showing his I.D card.

"And why?" Cheadle said confidently. If only he knew.
"You are accused of attempted murder by trying to poison the tea"
"Not trying to, He did!" Wesson said correcting the police man.

"What?! How?" Cheadle said shocked. He looked at me but I looked away. The whole hall was quiet, everyone afraid assuming the tea they drank is poisoned.

Aella went up the stage immediately and announced that their tea ain't poisoned.

~∆~
"Ah.. I'm finally back" I said as I jumped on I and Ella's bed. I removed my heels immediately and I didn't know when I dozed off.

After about 3 hours Aella came to wake me up and asked me to freshen up and come downstairs for dinner. Will their Mom accept me back? I thought as I went to the bathroom.

I wore a floral sleeveless gown, had my hair packed in a ponytail then went downstairs. They had all started to eat when I got to the dining room.

"Good evening" I said greeting everyone and took my seat near Aella.  I lowered my gaze and kept eating my dinner. The table was so quiet that only the sound of our cutleries on the plates could be heard.

"Thank you Wini" Wesson's mother said. Wait, did Luallen Boseman just say a 'thank you' to me??
"Hmm.. no problem ma" I answered awkwardly.

"Jessica has been arrested but she still claims innocence. She said I threatened her to murder Cheadle" I chocked on my food as I processed what Wesson just said. "What??!"

"So for now.. you guys are gonna be on home arrest while I try settle this mess. I heard she has an evidence but I'm yet to check the police station" Wesson said casually. I don't know if I was the only one but I sensed anger and a little bit of fear.

"Okay" Aella answered this time.

~∆~
"Since we're gonna be home 24/7, let's make it fun. We would spend a lot of time together to make up for the lost time" Aella squealed immediately we got upstairs.
"You find this situation fun, don't you?. Instead try finding a way to get your brother out of this mess. A murder accusation with evidence ain't funny." I said as I took longer strides to our room.

"I know it ain't funny but we can't bore our selves to death Wini. Let's have fun tonight, there's tomorrow." She said as she closed the door behind us.

"Ella, I need to rest. You have no idea how stressed out I'm. My life has been so great since Wesson walked into it" I said as a matter of fact.
I'm really scared, no nervous about what's going to happen, what evidence could it be? Or was she just bluffing?

"Come on, doing something fun will take your mind off this issue" She said persistently. "Do you have aspirin and any sleeping medicine?" I said.

Someone's knocking the door, "very good sound for my headache" I said sacarstically. Not the Boseman brothers again!
