Disengaging from the hug, Candy pecked me lightly on my lips
I chuckled
Why did you do that?
It is a way of showing my appreciation. she grinned and I smirked
Can’t you show it in a more sexier way?
She gave me a confused look …
what do you mean?
You should know what I mean . I grinned
She stared at me for a while and frowned
What exactly are you saying? are you trying to ask me for sex
hell no! but if you wish to, I will gladly accept it . I grinned
You are a bad boy! She remarked
That makes you the girlfriend to a bad boy . I teased and she smiled
So what about Nick, is he back home? She suddenly asked and I froze
Are you alright? She asked
I stared at her wondering if I should tell her about Nick or not .
Chase! She snapped her fingers in front of me , Are you alright?
Yes. I nodded
Then what is with your sudden change of mood , what were you thinking about? She asked rushingly
Nothing. I lied
Quit lying Chase, what were you thinking about? She repeated
I was just ………..The squeals from the crew members brought me to a stop and i smiled knowing the reason for it
How is it Dave? I asked facing my manager
We did it again, the duet is going to be a hit. It got 7000 views in just few minutes………… you can come and see for yourself. he gestured and Candy rushed to see what he was talking about ….
Oh my gawd! She screamed while staring at the laptop screen
I can’t believe it , I can’t believe it . She kept on screaming
I smiled
Chase! my manager called while walking towards me
I shifted my gaze to him
You really did a good job, I am so proud of you .
Thanks , I mumbled
And as for Candy , she is remarkably good. The comments are encouraging , everyone wants to know more about the girl with the angelic voice
I smiled
That won’t be a problem …..
She really has a great voice, she is way better than Kira. he remarked
I am glad you know that …what time is the interview again?
12pm. he reminded
I glanced at my wristwatch, it was 11:00am
Just an hour left ……..

Tears of Joy rolled down my eyes as I stared at the laptop screen
Is this for real? 7000 views and over 3000 comments in just few minutes
Unbelievable! I never expected this much views
Congratulations Candy! one of the crew members greeted and I smiled
My phone suddenly rang, it was a call from Zara
I received it immediately
Girlfriend. She screamed
Calm down Zara , what is with the scream? I asked
Are you really asking me that? your duet with Chase is dope , I am really really loving it
What? have you listened to it? I asked in surprise
Of course, the song is trending all over the social media….
Trending, are you for real?
She chuckled
Do I have any reason to lie , you can check it out yourself
Sure, I will do after the call
Alright, I will talk to you later . She bade and ended the call…..
I brought out my phone from my backpack and was about surfing the internet when I felt a hand wrapped around me
I smiled
Chase! I turned to face him and he chuckled
How did you know I was the one?
I grinned
Your natural fragrance gave you away ,and also you are the only one that have the right to touch me that way
he smiled
Congratulations Candy . he whispered softly
Thanks baby. I smiled
I will see you later, I have an interview to attend . he informed
Can I go with you?
No, go to your class
but I am …… i tried to say but he cut me off
Just do as I say Candy ……….
*
grinning, I walked hurriedly through the empty hallway to my class
Everything still seems like a dream to me …..
*
The whole class became noisy when I walked in
Oh my gawd! She is here . a girl screamed
her voice is angelic. Another girl praised
Will she still be stay in the same class with us?
Who is a better singer, she or Kira?
They kept on ranting
I walked over to Tiffany seat ignoring all the stares and murmurs
hey Tricia! I greeted
hi Candy or should I say Ma’am Candy . she teased and I smiled
I looked around the class to see all eyes still on me
Is this how it feels to be popular?

Kira Montes
*
*
In disbelief, I stared at my phone
“Popular singer Chase Delgado records a duet with upcoming singer Candace Noah”
Is this for real? …. I mean how did it happen?
I scrolled down and read the comments and gasped in shock at what I saw.
They were all saying she was better than me
What! how could they compare me with a lowlife b---h . I yelled
I am the queen of the music and I can’t let anyone take that position from me …….

Philip Noah (Candy’s father)

Entering my new office , I stared in awe at the beautiful sight in front of me
Is this really mine? I asked the lady who welcomed me in
Yes sir ,it is yours. She replied and I nodded
I am Betty Cody, your secretary.she stretched her hands for a hand shake
Nice meeting you Betty. I shook her hands
Feel free to ask me anything. She flashed me a smile
Alright Betty
she gave me a small bow before leaving the office ……
*
I walked over to the leather seat behind the desk and sat down
This is really so impressive!
I picked up a paper from the table and skimmed through it
Time to start working!

Roxy Delgado
*
With a heavy heart, I drove headed to The Delgado company
I really need to tell Philip about his son, I really need to . but how did Chase get to know about him?how did he even get to know Philip? that boy is just too smart ….
*
I soon got to the company and I parked in front
I alighted from the car and walked in….
*
Good morning! I greeted the lady behind the reception desk
She looked up at me and flashed me a message
how can I help you ma?
help? this is my husband company . I half yelled and she widened her eyes in surprise
I am sorry ma , I never knew . Mr Delgado hardly talks about u and I have never seen you before. She explained
That is because I have got my business to take care of. I drawled
I understand ma but your husband is not on seat. She informed
I am not here for my husband, I came here to see Philip Noah
Oh!Mr Philip the new chief technology officer. She informed
What! I widened my eyes in surprise
Is there any problem ma?
Not at all. I faked a smile
is he aware of your coming?
Yes . I lied
Ok ma, you are free to go to him
How can I get there? I asked
go through the hall way , the first room by the right . She directed
Thanks . I muttered
*
*
Following her direction, I got to the front of a huge office
Good morning! I greeted a lady seated in front . I guess she was his secretary
Morning, how can I help you ?she flashed me a smile
I am here to see Philip . I retorted
he is very busy at the moment but you can ….. she tried to say but I cut her off
Pull a call through and tell him that Mrs Delgado is here to see him. I yelled and a flicker of fear crossed her face
I am sorry , I will do that now . She fidgeted
Good! I smirked

Philip Noah

I was sorting out some files when the office phone rang
I received it
hello sir, this is Betty..
Ok, Betty how can I help you?
Mrs Delgado is asking to see you? She informed
Mrs Delgado?
Yes sir , should I let her in?
Sure. I replied and ended the call
Roxy , why does she want to see me? I wondered
*
*
The door suddenly creak opened and Roxy walked in
hi.Philip . She greeted
What do you want? I asked rudely
Can’t you at least offer me a seat? She grinned
Fine, you can have your seat
She flashed me a smile before sitting down
Nice office! She remarked looking around the office
What do you want? I repeated
Erm Philip there is something iii need to tell you . She stuttered
And what is that?
It is about your son. She informed and I chuckled
Is this a joke or what , what son?
She bursted into tears
Enough with this fake tears , what son are you talking about? I yelled
The son I heard for you twenty three years ago
I scoffed
I don’t remember you having a child for me , you had a miscarriage. Remember?
No I didn’t, I lied .
I stared confusedly at her
What are you trying to say? You meant you gave my baby to another man because I was poor
She shook her head negatively
Then explain to me…… d--n! What am I even saying
You are getting me all confused
I am sorry Philip, I am very sorry . She apologised
I sighed
So who is he … I mean why can I find him? Doesn’t he have a name ?
Nick , his name is Nick
Nick? I asked in surprise and she nodded
Are you trying to say Nick Delgado is my son? I panicked
Yes, Nick is your biological son……..
