Sarah stuffed her briefcase with files and got ready for work. Tommy,
her driver, was waiting for her downstairs. She gave Ria a goodbye kiss
before leaving her with the nannies. She had a meeting that day with
Microsoft executives and it was important that they close the deal.
After that, she needed to meet up with her gynecologist for her
monthly checkup. Later in the evening, she had a gala to attend with
Angelo and she didn’t want to ditch him after what happened. They
had an understanding and promised to be friends, she just hoped
things didn’t become awkward between them. As she got ready to
enter the car, she thought of Gerald. Part of her wished they had
continued their tryst and another part of her praised herself for her

He had half a mind to call her out on her random disappearances. He
abandoned the thought, an angry Kimera is not what he needs right
now, and went to get his things in the bedroom. When he came back
to the living room Kimera was lighting a smoke.
“Do I need to remind you that we have a party to attend tonight?”
Kimera said, “It’s for a movie premiere and I need to show up.”
“I’m not going, Kimera.” Gerald said. He was not in the mood for this.
The last thing he wanted was to accompany Kimera and watch her
push herself on celebrities, hoping for a few friends her and there. It
was getting annoying. Kimera however, would not back down.
“So, you’ve got another bimbo you’re after? Remember darling, we
