"Almost done ma'am"
In the next seconds, Miss Dobra handed over three sketch papers to Cheyenne with three different face
"Thanks a lot…..Erika how is the call to your brother going?''
"He seems to be driving, but he said he will call when he got to where he is heading"
Erika informs
"Then let's wait for him and also for the Manger to respond back too"
Cheyenne suggests and they all have their seat to wait even Mr. Cote and Miss Dobra sits to wait, since they want to know the root of all the problem.
Niamh was the first to call back, so Cheyenne puts it on speaker as he inform
"Captain. outside the Lax seems clean but….there is something I found and you won't believe it"
Niamh says and everyone exchange looks
"Go on Niamh, what happened?''
"Captain, they seems to be the top in best shoes in the country until 'Mie Cheery Pete' come into picture, afterwards they starts losing customers and some of their staffs also left them and funny enough, they are working in your brother's company, I think this brought up the jealousy and the dirty games they are playing with him now"
"How so do you mean Niamh?''
Miles questioned
"Man, you are really kind hearted, they are taking all your shoes the bests at that. when it comes to them they will change the logo and the signature that shows that it is made in your company to theirs and sell it in more higher price than yours, and instead of you gaining from them, you are losing, it has occurred twice and you seem not to understand it, tell me, how did you enter into the Army by the way?"
Niamh says Sarcastically
Mr. Cote and Miss Dobra coughs and Cheyenne speaks to save face for her brother
"Do you find anything strange again?''
"No Captain, but I know that he is trying to ruin the image of 'Mie Cheery Pete's company"
"Then I will destroy his before he even think about it"
Miles says this with a cold voice and face that match that of his sister
"Okay that is the voice of the soldier I know"
Niamh praise but Cheyenne didn't give him any chance and hung up on him, luckily Erika's phone rings at the same time
"Hey Sis, you called earlier, what's up ?''
the voice from the cell phone is quit soft and calm, just like Erika's, he is Manuel, Erika's younger brother who she is just a year and few months older than and also he is currently a Detective general in the city's best police Station
Erika put the phone on speaker so everyone can hear
"Yeah, Are you free now Cheyenne wants to speak to you"
"Captain Cheyenne? I didn't do anything against her wish, I have me good all this while, hope I am safe Sis?"
Manuel laments earning a laugh from everyone in the room
Then Cheyenne queries
"Manuel, Am I that evil that you won't be safe when my name is mentioned?"
Manuel in the other hand chuckles and answer with a question
"You are the best don't mind me, So what is Captain Cheyenne looking me for?''
As soon as Manuel's voice falls Abby's voice cries out in excitement, all this while she has being busy with her cell phone so no one pay attention to her, hearing her voice now makes them to turn to her, and
Without waiting for Cheyenne angrily face to question her Abby hurry say
"Bingo! I found it Captain"
Abby hurry went to Cheyenne side with her cell phone and the sketch book Miss Dobra passed over earlier,
"What is it Abby?''
Erika question with irritation in her voice
"Calm down Sister Erika, is a good thing, see this…."
Abby shows them the screen surface of her cell phone but none of them understands what she meant, they give her a confused looks and Abby groans
"Seriously!"
Abby cries out and shakes her head
"Are you going to say something or waste my time Abby?"
Manuel's voice come through the phone, Abby roll her eyes and continue
"See this app, Xavier(her older brother) developed this app during his college days, at first it only works for cell phone, it is used to identify someone who invade your privacy on your cell phone, but later he expand it to be able to identify people, even with people's voice, so I have it try with the sketch of these people and it found them.
The driver's name is Abraham Boutte, age: forty four, he has two kids and a divorcee, and he is a water supply company driver, and the two boys with him are called Wally Otis and Paul Otis, they are cousin brothers, students of Happy Hills university, departments of History and printing, ages Twenty- one and Twenty-three years old"
Abby reads out with a proud look
"This is amazing Miss, is really them"
Miss Dobra says after taking a peak on the pictures on Abby's phone screen
"Manuel, I think she has done half of the things we called for"
Cheyenne says to Manuel who has being listening
"Still a little confused though, can you explain a little of what is going on"
Manuel ask,
Miles went on and explain what had happened to him.
"The Lax Company's President is a cunning man, is it your first time dealing with him?''
Manuel ask after the story ends
"I haven't seen him before, we only gets order from the Manager, so I don't know about this"
Miles answer
"Sorry bro. Captain, what are your orders now?''
Manuel turns to Cheyenne;
Cheyenne replies with cold voice
"He wants to ruin our reputation right? How about you ruin his first, First of all, Abby will send pictures of the three people she mentioned, have them arrest and bring out the truth from them, after that, we will send some gifts to the Lax company"
Cheyenne instructs
"Wonderful, you are the best, I have being lazy since morning I came to work, with nothing to do, thanks for giving me something meaningful, and don't worry, this case won't pass today, I will deal with them"
Manuel says with both joking and serious tone but sent chilly to the body, and Miss Dobra and Mr. Cote felt it
"Why do I feel like he is going to use all the strengths he haven't used since morning to deal with them"
Abby mumbles when the call disconnected, but no one answer her, instead Cheyenne turn to Miss Dobra and Mr. Cote and thank them, afterword's dismissed them, then say to Miles
"Go get yourself clean up, and come out, we still have something to do"
Miles nods obediently and leave to the room attached to his office
"Concerning the Media part, I think we should allow Niamh to handle the media side, if any of us post anything regarding the Lax Company the Netizens might not believe us, they may even think we are jealous of them"
Erika suggested
"Yes, he has so many accounts on social media and I know, he has many followers on them"
Abby adds
"Then, I will type the words and send them to him to deal with, those fool might be getting ready to make demands"
Cheyenne says as she takes her seat and starts typing away on her cell phone, while Abby clears the desk that is like a children drawing table.
When Miles rejoins the room, he stand before Cheyenne and apologize
"I am sorry for not telling you this on time, I wanted to solve it all on my own, I don't want to disturb you with everything concerning the company"
"But she is an elder to you and well experienced than you are, what if we didn't show up here today or what if she didn't notice your change of mood, what could have happen?''
Erika reprimands
"I am sorry Sister Erika, is my fault, I was only trying to be the hero, and acts mature"
Cheyenne chuckles hearing this
"Idiot. tell me how old are you?''
Cheyenne ask
"I will be twenty-three in four months"
Miles answer with head low
"And Abby, how old is she now?''
"She just turned Twenty-three, But Sis why these questions, do you want her to mock me since she is older than me with few months"
Abby laughs and comments
"At least you still remembers that I am your elder"
"hahaha! You are only bold when it comes to him, but you never say anything when Niamh taunts you with age"
Erika ruin Abby's little victory, and both Cheyenne and Miles laughs out loud seeing Abby's unhappy face
"Whoa! That is really bad Erika, how can you ruin her little win just like that?"
Cheyenne comments after laughing
"Captain, you aren't helping either"
Abby cries out, others laughs
"Sorry Ma'am. but Miles, this should be the last. you always preach to me whenever I try to solve every problem on my own without the family's help, and here you are today doing the opposite of what you preached, father won't reprimand you when the problem is this big, instead he will find a way, neither will granny, Just so you know, if everything gets settled you explain yourself to them, because I am sure after this, they will get to know about it"
Cheyenne educates
"I swear, no more hero acts, and I will tell them everything, just don't be angry now"
Miles say while hugging Cheyenne's arm acting cute like a child
"Stop making your face like that, there is single girls in this room, and we want to find handsome boyfriend too"
Abby complains
"Are you indirectly calling me handsome Abby?''
Miles taunts her but Abby refused to bow easily as she replies with straight face
"Who said you are handsome? I am just saying you should stop acting cute in front of Captain, she is not your girlfriend but your elder sister"
"Sis, Sister Erika You heard it too, Abby openly admits that I am handsome and cute at the same time, Tell, who was it that said that I am not good looking when she saw her man crush actor during the actors movie day, huh!?''
Miles also refused to let Abby go easily, as he circle her with triumphant smile
"Oh don't be so proud of it now, you won't hear it again from my mouth, just be happy for now"
Abby says with cold face, but her eyes refused to meet Miles since she is embarrassed by her own words, Erika and Cheyenne is already used to them taunting each other, so they just ignores them and focus on another work.
The girls helped with few works that they could do and since Cheyenne promised to pick her son from school, they all left before the time of his school dismissal...
Meanwhile at the same time, that afternoon, At the airport:
Two handsome looking young men makes their way out of the VIP's arrivals' gate, they are so good looking that they takes all attention to themselves, but they seems not to care as they look straight while dragging their suitcase with them
One of them dressed up in all black, a plain black shirt, with sleeves fold to the elbow, leaving two upper buttons undone with black trouser, a dark shade on his eyes, his aura speaks of noble and maturity, with a soft smile hanging on his lips, and he is none other than Chase Taylor
Over the years, he don't only grow in business but also in looks and stature, a handsome CEO that girls are dying to meet, but that can't be said in his thinking, since he can't seem to forget his obsession on Cheyenne or rather Tamika, when he returned back after years in abroad, and heard of what happened to her. he seem quite happy at first but knowing that another man has enjoyed what he wanted he couldn't take it, even though he is already engaged to Diane. so he tried searching for her but all to no avail, like she has disappear from the face of earth.
Beside him is Laius Kings, a good friend of Marisa, but then him and Chase became best friends after meeting few years back, and also he happens to be Tamara's ex-boyfriend
The two broke up after knowing she is engaged to be marry, he is quite a charmer but not to compare to Logan, Logan is handsome even when he is sitting silently.
And just like Chase, Laius is wearing a gray shirt, and white trouser, with black shoes, his dark shade is properly place on the bridge of his nose, he has this charming smile while looking ring in front of him, where Tamara and Marisa is currently standing with name placard to welcome them,
Seeing Laius, Tamara turns to Marisa and say in between her teeth with fake smile
"Why didn't you tell me that Laius is coming too? What will I tell my parent and Logan's family if they finds out about this, remember I told them I wasn't in Any relationship before now"
"You just said it now, you don't have any love relationship, Laius is your past and he is not here to create problem, And by the way, won't it be nice if this stupid wedding is called off"
Marisa respond with the same tone and fake smile, with eyes staring at the two young men approaching them
"Marisa Are you nut? do you know what my family will benefits in this marriage?! Anyways why bother how will you know, when you are the rich CEO, while I am still stuck with the tittle of middle class girl,
humped, better tell him to behave"
Tamara warns
"What are you two whispering about with a forced smile"
Laius's angelic voice that can make any girl's went soft leg, he asked
Marisa want to answer back at Tamara's words, so none of them knows when the boys approached or even standing right in front of them, hearing him, Tamara ignores him and went and hug Chase, as she cutely say to him
"Brother Chase, long time no see"
Growing with Marisa, Chase always treats Tamara like a little sister, more than Marisa who is actually his own blood, so seeing her, he smile with eyes full of doting towards her and crease her hair so lovingly since she is few meters short, she seems like a child before Chase who is few meters taller than her, and he replies with low voice
"You are getting marry soon and you are still acting like a child, won't your husband finds it hard to handle you?"
"It can only happens if he even look my way to know when I am acting cute to begin with
"
Tamara mumbles
"What is that?"
since Chase didn't understand what she says, he has to ask, but Tamara shakes it off and comments
"You came all the way here for me and I am making you stand here, come, let's go to my house now, everyone is waiting for you, my mom especially, she couldn't stop asking for your favorite dishes to be prepared today"
Tamara takes Chase's suitcase and hug his arm while informing
"And what about me? You could at least say hi, we aren't enemy or are we?''
Laius says to the excited Tamara.
Tamara halt and turn to him, throw out just few words
"Don't ruin anything as you stay here for the wedding"
With that she take Chase arm and walks out first
Laius sigh, but Marisa pats his shoulder
"Is the guy treating her well?''
Laius ask Marisa as they follow behind Chase and Tamara.
Marisa just sigh and looks at Tamara who is discussing happily with Chase in front of them before commenting
"I have met him, he is quite nice and don't talk much, but, he seems to become a talkative when his friends are mentioned, and the ladies amongst them get more value and respect than Tamara who is his soon to be wife, to top it all, the whole family, both relatives adores them more than Tamara, she is going to have a hard time there"
Laius frowns hearing this then queries
"Why is she still going through with the marriage then, I am willingly to give all that the boy's family will give her family, why is she still insisting on marrying him?"
"The elders made that decision and the penalty of going against them is disownment and you know Tamara adores her family more than anything, she will do anything for them, most especially her grandfather, he loves her dearly"
Marisa pointed
"Sigh…..you are right, so the family doesn't know about us?''
Laius ask
Marisa laughs and tease
"Are you afraid of being kicked out from the house?''
"Is not funny Isa"
he cries out
"hahaha! don't worry, none of them knows, but if you act stupid, they will finds out"
"I only wants her to be happy, so I will be careful, you say something about meeting the group of friends and her fiancée, when is that?''
Marisa frowns when Cheyenne's cold face appears to her face, then hurry reply
"The proud princess haven't replied yet, till she respond, then we will know if it will still works"
Laius felt the change in her expression, so he tease her
"It seems like a certain person has met someone who is more colder than her, tell me what happened?''
Marisa by pass him after rolling her eyes at him and walks straight towards Chase and Tamara,
Laius just laughs and follow her.
