Chapter 37
Alexis’s POV
I was still sitting on the same spot in the bed lost in the thought of vengeance when Diana came out of the bathroom.
“Aren’t you getting out of that bed?”
“Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about yesterday’s event?”
“Diana, why am I at your house?”
“Oh Wow! You’re supposed to be thanking me for saving your ass last night from dying.”
“You are not a foreigner to me though,”
“Eww…you stink of alcohol,” she teased.
“I’m in your house you have the mouth to say whatever you want too,” I got out of the bed and went into the bathroom to shower.
I came out of the bathroom and headed straight into Diana’s wardrobe for a change of clothes, we both were molded into
the same size.
I picked one of her faves and
Tadaaa….
I showed it to her.
“There’s no way you are wearing those, you know they were gifted to me by Geoffrey,”
Geoffrey is her ex boyfriend, who I never liked.
He was very possessive and controlling, I hated him because he sometimes or rather most of the time stopped her from hanging out with us
He was never good for her and I ring it all the time into her ears.
Until one day she found out that he had been married all along and was deceiving her.
It was a very difficult time in her life, we saw her fight to survive.
But then she got over it after some time, despite her straightforwardness and lack of saying what I wanted to hear.
She is really a cool lady and fun to be with.
“Geoffrey is your ex, more reason why you should get rid of the dress,” I tried convincing her.
She just stared at me as I talked.
“Just wear it already, let’s go and fix something for us to eat, she muttered.
Pancakes are her favorite and I know certainly that’s what we are having for breakfast.
I wore the dress and we both walked into the kitchen.
“We are having pancakes and hot chocolate for breakfast,” she announced

“I know,” I whispered.
She mixed the pancake batter while I sat down and operated my phone.
The milky and vanilla flavor scent lingering in the kitchen space made me want to have a taste of the pancake.
I dipped my hand into the sieve containing the already made pancakes and picked one to appease my fast secreting salivary gland.
“Less I forget Trisha has called earlier to know how you’re doing,” she said, swinging the fry spoon in her hand.
“Oh okay I will call her.”
“So this is how you will stand there operating your phone while I do the whole of the work here?”
“Your pancakes are the best,” I commended as I chewed it in my mouth.
“Switch on the electric cup.”
“Okay ma’am,”
She served us pancakes and hot chocolate in the living room. I switched on the television.
Grr.I groan angrily
“What is it?”
“Can you imagine that Hunter has not called me since yesterday?
“If he didn’t call you, you can as well do the calling, there isn’t any role that is legally stated that he should do the calling.“Diana explained.
“Diana, whose side are you on? Aren’t you supposed to be on my side but why do I feel like you’re against me?” I frowned.0
“I’m not against anyone or for anyone, I’m just rooting for what’s right,”
“Yea yea I knew that’s what you will say,”
“Can you quit the sermon already?”
“It’s okay, just do whatever pleases you but be careful so you don’t hurt yourself more in the cost of it,” she advised.
We watched a few more TV programs till noon.
“I have an appointment to catch–up with, let me get going,”
“Okay, be safe,”
“Where’s my car key?”
“It’s in the bedroom drawer,” she answered.
I went into the bedroom and came out with my handbag and the car key.
“Bye,” we both waved each other goodbye.
I drove out of Diana’s place and headed to my place, just a few drives from Diana’s place I noticed the gas level of the car was
low.

Chapter 37
I stopped by a filling station to refill the gas before reaching home. I had to join the queue of cars waiting to be refilled.
I got tasty and went into the filling station’s mini Mart to get a bottle of water.
I stood in front of the mini Mart with the bottle of water in my hand.
My turn came and the gass was refilled, I drove off to my house for a change of outfit.
1 quickly changed into something more simple and picked up my dark sunglasses, for a disguise.
I drove down the street and stopped at the meeting venue.
1 got down from the car with the sunglasses on, to avoid being recognized by anyone.
“Hello, what do you have for me?” a bass male voice asked.
“In this envelope, there’s everything you will need for the job, there’s also a part of the agreed payment in it, you will get t rest of your pay once the job is done,” I explained.
“I want every detail you can get,” I said in an authoritative tone.
“The person that suggested you to me assured me of a good job, I wouldn’t want news other than a good job,”
He just looked at me speechless while I talked.
“Good bye.”
“Not yet ma’am, I have to confirm the pay,” he muttered.
He dipped his hand into the envelope and counted the neatly arranged dollar notes.
“Confirmed, you can now live,”
I stood up and went into my car
A grin played at the corner of my lips as I bit my lower lip.
“No one messes with Alexis and go scot free,” I whispered to myself.
I throw my head on the backrest of the car seat in laughter.
“I am horny, I need a man to grace my bed tonight,” I silently mouthed to myself and drove off.
