Old times sake

Old times sake
Kayla

“ So what is that brings the great Kayla to my office? And gets you dramatic enough to be put in cuffs.

I thought age plays a role in getting us grown. 

You still throw tantrums like a kid huh?” 

She chuckled, and I smirked. 

“ Fair enough you have had your joke and smiles 

Now time for the real deal.”

She shrugged, “ allright hit me then.”

I nodded and reached for some files in my bag. 

“ Here.” 

I said as I threw the files across the table to her.

“ This is all I am aware of at the moment.

He does not trust her, there is a high chance that she has been selling a lot of valuable secrets to outsiders. 

There is a little evidence that she was behind my accident at the office last year. 

And now she wants to tie this him down with this pregnancy which I doubt it's authenticity”

She stared at me in confusion. 

“ Kayla, is everything alright with you?” 

She covered her face with her palms, and sighed. 

I was silent, and shut my eyes for a moment. 

I sighed, and she got up from her seat.

“ Hey Kayla. Listen to me, I know this ain't you. 

You seem so troubled and beneath the makeup and glamour, your eyes says it all.

You may be loosing your mind don't you think?” 

I hit her hand off my shoulder. 

“ Don't you do that okay. 

Just don't. I'm not insane, I just.. I just.”

I sighed, and tried breathe control. 

“ Yeah,I just thought I had you in on all of my dealings. 

Forgetting we really hadn't been in contact for the longest time.”

She raised he eyebrows and nodded. 

“ Oh that.. that's true. 

Very much true actually, but it's no big deal is it? 

I mean I still remain your sister, whenever and however you need me.”

I chuckled, and pointed behind me. 

“ I legit told them this same bullshit, and they legit had me in chains you know.”

She waved me down. 

“ Nah, those niggas. I'll let it slide, they have been making me proud for the longest time yet. 
On their behalf I'm sorry.”

I shook my head, “ I don't really care actually, I'm not all about that you know. 

I'm just not about that actually, the young men did good. 

The thing though is my life at the moment.”

I sniffled, as I fought back tears. 

She licked her lips staring at me, and rolling her eyes. 

“ Here we go. Kayla seriously you don't have to with old stuff from me. 

You can let it all out, and if in any way I will be able to assist, come on girl. You already know I'm in. 

I'm so much in.

So hit me up, what's going on with you.

Here.” 

She threw napkins at me. 

“ I cry a lot, so I have A lot.” 

She chuckled, and I tried to laugh, but it was instantly subdued. 

By now, I could feel the tears threatening to pour out. 

I wiped my face with the napkins.

“ Thelma a lot has been going on you know, uhm… since I ran away from Jonathan. 

I took side jobs to feed and survive till I was able to get a decent life, and I bore my son, and trained him pretty much alone ever since in pretty much secret too.”

She nodded as I spoke, “ yeah I'm aware of Elgreen. How is he though?” 

I nodded, “ he is great, he is doing good. 

Strong boy, just wants to really know who his father is, and that's the problem here.”

“ Hmm I see, go on.” 

She squinted at me, and I continued. 

“ I hooked up with Miltons, and he gave a foothold.”

Her eyes widened, “ girl you what? Miltons is a huge win for you.”

I nodded, “ yeah that's what it seemed like until Jonathan decided to get close to me. 

He began making crazy advancements towards me, and in the process, made enemies for me. 

“ Oh that bloody scumbag!”

I motioned for her to relax. 

“ I know right, but the story still goes on”

She shrugged, “ yeah well, go ahead.” 

“His advances towards me actually put him in a position to help me out after I had a little mishap at work with one of my secretaries. 

Critical by the way, he stepped up in the absence of Milton, and ignited the initial fire I once forcefully had for him. 

He seemed really changed and sweet, and he actually won me over, but I was not much of a scumbag to switch on Milton. 

But apparently there was another hand in the mix, cooked some stories and lies. 

Jews by the way, I have no History wth him, but according to Milton George, he was the anchor of the whole crash.”

She sucked her teeth, and raised her hand. 

“ Pause. What is all this about? Why they all on you all of a sudden? And Jews? He is for sure a crooked man,”

She said pointing to a poster on the wall of “Milano Jews.”

I swallowed saliva. 

She continued,  “ but he seems to big to be involved in your situation.”

I nodded but still stared at the poster. 

“ What did he do though? Why is he there?” 

She looked up, and back at me. 

“ He is still a suspect though on this one, but he is believed to have involved in some manipulative activities in the business sector. 

You know financial crimes and stuffs like that. 

Declassification of classified files, something in that line.”

I squinted my eyes. “ Hmm” 

“ Well, so Mr George claimed.

He pulled out all that he had invested in me, and left me broken once more. 

Just at this point, Jonathan swooped in to save what was left of me, and even made it better for me. 

Gave me strong foothold, and I don't see myself falling even without him. 

Matter of fact, I recently saved his ass. 

We are that much of partners now you see, that much.

And all of a sudden when the connections starts brewing up once more, then this daughter of jezebel shows up just in time to ruin it all.”

She leaned forward and asked, “ and who is that?” 

“ Who else but Miriam?! The one he left me on our wedding for.”

She burst into a round of laughter.

“ Hell nah, this would be the second time ain't it?” 

I nodded, “and this time I'm fighting back not running, just because I know well enough that Jonathan is a victim this time”

“ Hmm, and how are you ire about that?” 

She asked and I hit my palm on my forehead.
