Chapter 3 The unexpected visitors

"Hey beauty, fancy seeing you today."

It was no other than Lisa's boss, Immanuel. The man that knows not his age when it comes to toasting young girls. He is known for always flocking around girls, getting their attention and sleeping with them but he hasn't been able to have his way with Jessica.

And to think that he threatened Lisa that if she doesn't bring her friend on their show, that she would be fired and that was why Jessica with all her busy schedule decided to help her friend from not being fired by her womanizing boss.

"Hi Mr Immanuel, it's nice seeing you again." She said mockingly.

"I know that expression Jessica, I know you're not pleased to see me even though I'm so pleased to see you come to my show and to think that your friend actually convinced you to come, it was a good one I pulled out right." He said smiling with his brownish scattered teeth.

"I can see that you're a very ambitious man and you mean business which I admire a little but the very next time you threaten my friend again like that, believe me, the next show I'll be giving will be all about the owner of Zelda broadcasting and you know that will be bad business for you right?" Jessica said with a stern face.

Mr Immanuel was scared by what she said and decided to respect himself especially around Jessica knowing that people respect her so much and anything she says can actually close his business.

"You know I'm only pulling your legs, don't take it personal as I'm not a serious guy Jess."

She wasn't happy with the way he called her Jess which she gave a more disdain and irritating look before entering her car.

"Please, move your thing, I want to leave as I have important things to attend to. You see, I'm busy unlike you that have all the time so please shush!" She said waving her hands for him as he was blocking her own car from moving.

Mr Immanuel, with shame, entered his car and drove away being embarrassed by what happened.

"Good day ma'am, I can see you're done with your interview with Zelda."

"Yes I am, Bianca, thank you. What's my schedule for the rest of today." Jessica said as she walked into her office with her P.A.

"Yes, you'll be meeting with Mr Zack for the finishing touches concerning his wife's bridals and Mrs Adams wants to know how her daughter's wedding planning is going, so she asked for you to call her immediately when you get to the office."

"Ok, I'll do that right away. Thank you bianca."

"All pleasure, ma'am."

"Lastly, we have new guests who want to plan their wedding, they booked an appointment by 5 pm. I don't know if you'll take it."

"5 pm, why? I have other business to attend to."

"Yes, I actually told them, you'll be unavailable but her fiance insisted that he will be very busy for the rest of the week till next week, so we should compromise."

"Wow! And they can't make it 2 pm."

"Actually, he's not in town right now and from what I gathered, he will be landing by 4 pm that is why."

"Well, as if we have a choice. Ok. Thank you so much Bianca, that's all for now."

"Ok, ma'am, is there anything you want me to get for you, coffee or tea?"

"Coffee will do."

"Alright, on the way."

"Rat-tat-ta," a soft knock was heard from Jessica's office. "Ma'am our guests are here." Her P.A said.

She looked at her watch and saw that time had already flown by so quickly that she didn't realize she hadn't had lunch yet and also heard from her mum and child.

"Yes, come in," she responded and her P.A entered her office.

"Ma'am, they are here already."

"I just remembered, I haven't had anything since I came in and also I need to make a quick call to my mum, could you please hold them up for me for some minutes?"

"I can try and as for your meal, I would send for it right away."

"No, forget the meal, after the meeting, I will eat. I just hope they won't keep me for long."

"Ok, if you say so. Let me go back and attend to them."

"Yes please, thank you."

Jessica called her mum but couldn't get hold of her for a while which grew impatient.

"Mum! Please pick up, pick up, pick up," she paced back and forth in her wide office.

"Hello my baby,"

"Finally, thank God! Mum, what's wrong, I've been trying to get hold of you."

"I'm sorry, I had guests over and didn't know where I dropped my phone. How're you doing baby."

"Mum, I'm not a baby, remember."

Her mum chuckled at her and teased her even more, "well, you're right but as long as I live you'll always be my baby although I have two now. My small baby and my big baby."

"Mummy! please stop, ok." Jessica pleaded to her mum. "How's Millie, is she there with you, I want to speak with her."

"No, she's not close by but wait let me call her."

"Millie baby, mummy wants to speak with you." She could hear her mum call her daughter.

"And will you be working late today because I can sense you're still at your office."

"Yes mummy, I have these new guests that just came in but I needed to call you first before I head out because you know, it might take a while out there."

"Ok, she's here." Jessica could hear her daughter's little noises which soothe her heart.

"Hey mummy,"

"Hey baby," Jessica was about to cry after hearing her child's voice after a long day today. "How're you doing my daisy?"

"I'm fine mummy, I'm playing with the new toys grandma's friends gave me."

"Ok, I hope you're enjoying your new toys."

"Yes and will you be coming to pick me up?"

"Yes baby, very soon. Just that mummy has a client she needs to attend to, once she's done, she'll come running to you. I promise."

"Ok, mummy, just take your time, bye". She quickly said returning the phone back to her grandma so she could go back to playing with her toys.

"Oh... bye baby."

"Kids nowadays," her mother said, watching her granddaughter hump with joy. "Back to you, I hope you've eaten my little pumpkin?"

Jessica knew that once her mum calls her that, it will be the beginning of an endless call so she had to end it.

"Bye mum, I love you!"

"Wait! Jessica, I'm not done." She could hear her mum as she cut the call.

"Phew... so where were we?" She dials her P.A's line with the office phone instructing her to meet her. Bianca comes immediately after the call.

"Yes ma'am."

"Yes, how are things out there, I hope no trouble."

"Not at all, I was able to keep them busy."

"Good, thank you. It's time to meet them."

Jessica stands from her chair making her way to the arena where her guests were and upon arrival she received the greatest shock of her life.

"Wow, look who we have here, babe."
