Chapter 3 Plans

Claudia went to her fathers house to tell him the good new she had. " where is my father" she asked shouting at the top of her lungs immediately she stepped out of her car.

The maid wondered what was wrong with her before replying. " he's in his study ma'am" . The maid hurriedly left her presence so are the rest of them.

She rushed up to her father's study calling him. " daddy where are you?" She called all along the way.

Her father, *a man in his early sixties with a stern look which was hard to tell what he was thinking but not very tall* .was reading a book stoped and got up from his chair " why are you being childish,Claudia?" He asked her.

She took a deep breath and asked him a question. " Dad I want you to tell me which one of *the Dennis brothers* do you want as your business partner?" She asked him.

Her father looked at her suspiciously. " Deep down I want Theophilos Dennis but he's a very picky man to his elder brother, Jeffery Dennis" her father replied.

She smiled at her father. " Well you might not need all that stress because one of his sons is my high school crush and we could just use us as an excuse for his father,like a marriage proposal" she said happily.

Her father felt happy but wanted to be careful about it. " what if he has a woman in his life?" He asked.

She took a seat and thought about it for a while. " we'll investigate who she is,then we'll know what to do" she answered.

Mr Bernard felt accomplished. " I raised you so right" he applauded her.

She felt on top of the world. "Thanks father" she said leaving the study to investigate whoever might be the woman in Emmanuel's life.

2 Weeks Later

Claudia and her father got to know that Emmanuel and Brianna are in a relationship through the investigator they employed and they started up a plan. "How do we make her get tired of the relationship,father?" Claudia asked

Her father paused for a moment. "According to the investigator.....she's independent and can't be bought with money. So we make her suffer." He proposed.

Claudia's face lit up with happiness. "I have an idea dad, she works in my friend's company, and I could let him give her a lot of work to do so she'll loose focus" she announced happily.

Her father patted her head. "I raised you well princess. I'll give you extra money for shopping if you can do that." He promised.

Claudia took her phone and hurriedly dialed her friend's phone number.

Emmanuel visits his parents house and told his family about him planning to propose to Anna and bring her home for proper introduction afterwards which everyone was happy about except for his father

"you won't marry just any girl out there"mr Dennis said

"But dad you know I've been dating her for 3years now" he protested

"Calm down darling,let's meet the girl first" Mrs Dennis intervened

"Meet a girl of no status?"mr Dennis said angrily

"She has status,father, she is a director at P&M company and also has a small business of her own" Emmanuel said trying to persuade his father

"Just listen to yourself, you said a small business, and I'm sure it was built in what she has been getting from you,those girls are gold diggers,son." Mr Dennis said

"She doesn't even know my background,she thinks I'm just a hustler like herself,please father,you can investigate her if you want "he said persuasively

"Since you've decided to praise her this much then I'll have to investigate her but you still have to go on a date with Claudia"his father said

"Come on father,Claudia? Claudia is the reason for all these? Isn't it Claudia Bernard?

"Yes it's her,you went to the same secondary school with her,I didn't know you would still remember her"his father said grinning

"Why won't I remember that rude dumb ass" he said snorting "pls father don't forget to check out my girl"he added

"I will, I just hope she's satisfactory or else you have to marry Claudia within six-months " his father said

"There's no way I'll marry that girl,father, do you know how she used to look down on me in school because she didn't know of my background? She can never be my woman"he said angrily

"I don't believe you emmanuel, and I won't tolerate you say anything bad about that gentle fairy like girl" his father said

"You only think so because that's what she poses herself as in front of her father's friends and business partners,if you want to know more about her just ask her father's subordinate in her father's company and the people working for them in their house"

Getting tired of the heated conversation his mother got up and tapped his shoulder and told him "your father has already agreed to investigate your darling anna all you have to do is send your father a picture of her and her home address then pray your father likes her,instead of arguing about Claudia" his mother said

"Darling please finish your food and don't get stressed about the children issue,let's go to the pool once you're done eating" his mother said to his father winking at him

"Ohhh.....please,don't you guys realize you're old already?"his elder sister Vanessa said

"We aren't old,I'm very much agile and as you can see I still go to gym at 62 and my wife is still very much sexy " he said reaching for his wife's bum

"I pray I don't go blind in this house,I'm still 17 for crying out loud " his younger sister Jane said

His mother smiled happy that she had successfully diverted her husband's attention

An idea came to his mind,he has to call jasmine to help him out, he quickly reached out for his phone and dialed her number"hello,jasmine. I really need your help"he said
