La Serpiente, Foxy cursed bride in CEO Ghost’s lair - Chapter 137

Don’t rely on others to make your life better. You may seem like a puzzle piece that fits nicely into their plans at one point, but what happens if they change their minds? So be it. You have a mind to lead you by logic and a heart to lead you by reason. You choose your fate by taking responsibility and by taking the lead in your life. Don’t make yourself part of other’s plans. Make your own plan and be part of it.

“I need to text her fast otherwise these ‘she wolves’ will rip her off.”

Caitlyn muttered to herself as soon as those ladies vanished out of her sight by boarding the elevator by directing it towards the fourth floor.

Her heart was leaping beat after beat, Caitlyn wasn’t involved in such kind of fight and had never gotten herself in any scenario which could lead to quarrel but at that moment she wanted to step out of her bubble, or maybe the tricky circumstances had pushed her to come forward leaving all the hesitation and fear, to protect her friend who was in dire need of awareness.

She rattled the drawers of the desk again to find her cellphone to give a call to Syna, her hands were trembling due to fright and anxiety. Caitlin haphazardly flipped the pages and other files to get her phone or at least her bag, but both seemed to be found nowhere.

“What the heck! They even took my bag with them!? How come even… they know what I was intending to do?”

[ Meanwhile In the elevator ]

In the heavily crowded elevator where five to six ladies were surprisingly fitted in that small ‘match box’, which was moving up on its way to lead the ladies towards the fifth floor. A woman who was behind, at the back of two ladies, stood out due to her heightened silhouette and sharp features which were caked with makeup.

She had something squeezed within her hand and pelvic girdle, the lady had a smirk on her face, she seemed confident as her grin radiated the announcement of the small victory she had earlier achieved and now the battle for which she was going, the results were in her hands!

An emerald colored handbag was clutched in her hand, the lady seemed to have the courage to steal the bag of her employee, who was none other than Caitlyn. Adriana knew her as they both were supposed to work together on the desk and that’s how she sensed some unusual body movements of Caitlyn, knowing that she had been close to Syna recently, aroused her suspicion.

Adriana kept the corners of her eyes glued towards Caitlyn, while her ears followed every single noise she made by touching the objects, poor soul, Caitlyn leaned to find her handbag and flabbergasted yet panicked her right hand dropped the vase which was in the drawer, that’s how she acknowledged that her plan was about to go wrong.

As other ladies were walking towards the corridor to take the elevator, Adriana stealthily slipped her hand inside the drawer and picked up Caitlyn’s handbag with such cleverness that the innocent soul didn’t even get a chance to notice her activity.

Adriana seemed quite confident about the task she had assigned to the other ladies, while she provoked them successfully to accompany her in that regard, if the song ‘Single Ladies’ by Beyoncé would be played in the background, it would perfectly suit the situation of those foolish ladies and Adriana.

The elevator was on its way up towards the upper floor, and the song played in the background while Adriana’s hands clasped around the handbag as the lady tucked her back with the elevator and heels of right foot followed the similar activity.

The metal door parted its mouth slowly as the elevator reached the desired floor, the ladies seemed to be posing for some badass photoshoot. One of them was standing in some unexplainable posture, her left leg was a little forward and slightly bent at knee cap that gave her an odd yet funny appearance. Although, maybe she was thinking herself of some mighty influential personality, which evoked the hope within her naive heart that perhaps she was out on the field for some ‘pre announced victory’.

Adriana was standing right on the back, with a calm posture and a beaming face graced with an evil expression.

“Ladies! Are we clear?”

Her voice resonated in the elevator which had its doors open towards sideways, Adriana’s tone held some tinge of mockery as if the lady was pitying upon the fate of Syna.

“Yes!”

All the ladies chirped in unison, their sudden slogan-reply garnered the attention of the people who were either working or walking in the corridor. Every single person standing in the alleyway stood in a jaw dropped reaction, as soon as their eyes landed on the sinful sight of the bitches who were flaunting themselves as if they owned the conglomerate.

The front lady with weird posture stepped forward while others followed her, Adriana crept out of those four metal walls of the elevator and halted in front of it while the parted lips of the elevator closed behind her slender silhouette.

The lady saw her other female comrades heading towards the cabin of CEO Sinclair MacLaverty, every other employee was in a daze after seeing all the ladies boldly walking towards the office. No one had the temerity to step into the cabin of daredevil.

Adriana tossed the handbag of Caitlyn on the floor, she stared at the cheap accessory and dusted off her hands. After all, Braille had provided her accessories and all the necessary stuff to satisfy her materialistic greed and to stuff her mouth with money.

‘The Baddest Female’ was playing in a feeble volume, perhaps some employee was listening to it as the mighty strict CEO Sinclair MacLaverty was on the seventh floor to attend an important meeting, the merger would brought them mutual benefit and that was the sole reason Sinclair MacLaverty decided to conduct the meeting himself.

No doubt Sinclair and Syna already shared some sort of soul connection that even in the meeting, the Lord sensed some sharp pain in his chest as if someone was stabbing his heart mercilessly, or perhaps his poor heart was shaking violently with insecurity that he suddenly felt towards his beloved mate, the increasing pace was informing the Lord that some danger was lurking around his bride and he had to remain alerted, to protect her even if he was unable to leave the boardroom, the cunning CEO did not lack tricks and solutions in his sleeves.
