CHAPTER SEVEN

At Mr.Edmund's residence, Violet was in the swimming pool having fun when her mother, Lucille, came out with a drink in her hand.

"Are you not attending work today Violet?" Lucille asked.

"Mummy, I don't have anything to do there, " Violet replied, sipping her drink.

"Even if you have nothing to do, you should have gone. At least you can ask Henry to teach you the in and out of the business."Lucille said.

"Mummy, my work lies within sales and marketing, not production," Violet replied nonchalantly.

"How do you expect to be chosen as President if you don't know a thing about the production, just look at Alyana, she's out to impress everyone by opening a chocolate and pastries shop to help the business," Lucille said.

"Oh, mummy." Violet let out laughing." I have no insecurities whatsoever, I have everything planned out, you just watch and see," Violet said confidently.

"You sound so confident sweetheart, don't underestimate Alyana, she almost made me sign some petition before I married her father," Lucille said looking at her overly optimistic daughter.

"Whatever she has, I can have it without stressing myself. Two years and I am already the vice president of sales and marketing so it won't be long before I surpass Alyana." Violet said.

"I hope you still know Henry loves Alyana so much," Lucille said.

"Yes mummy, I know that and I will need a little bit of help from you, just talk to daddy Henry a bit for me," Violet replied with a pleading look.

"I will try my best but don't expect much and make sure you leave for work," Lucille said before leaving.

"Okay mummy, love you," Violet said.

After taking her time, Violet got dressed and left for work.

On reaching, Violet was informed that there would be a meeting with Alyana and the board members in 5 minutes so she didn't go to the office but went straight to the meeting room.

The meeting started on time. Violet, who was too eager, beat Mr. Edmund in asking Alyana what she had planned for the opening of her chocolate shop.

"Alyana, I haven't heard any plans for advertising and promotion for your shop," Violet asked.

"I have already invited some food bloggers and journalists for the opening, we will see the reviews of the shop in Newspapers and personal blogs," Alyana replied smiling.

"Mmmm, that's good but not quite great Alyana, you need full spread advertising and a lot of write up that will captivate the hearts of customers. I can help you with that, would you let me help you with your chocolate shop Alyana." Violet asked, holding Alyana's hand.

Alyana had no choice but to approve"Okay Violet, you are in charge of promoting the shop," She responded.

"You have made the best decision Alyana, I promise to make your shop a big hit." Violet let out.

"Okay". Alyana answered back.

Later that evening, Lucille and Henry sat together on the balcony when Lucille decided to ask Henry.

"When are you going to decide on your replacement as president of the company?" Lucille asked Henry, staring at him.

"The decision isn't mine to make alone, the board members have a say as well," Henry answered back.

"I know that but of course as the chairman of the board whomsoever you endorsed to them, they will listen and approve of it. So have you chosen anyone?" Lucille inquired.

"Not yet dear, I will when I see whom between Thomas or Alyana will be best for the position," Henry replied, consuming his drink.

"But aren't you considering Violet for president as well?" Lucille asked, sulking.

"Violet has much to learn, she is yet to learn the in and out of the company and she has to be very good with numbers to understand the financial services of the business," Henry explained holding his wife's hands.

"Why don't you tell me Violet is not qualified because she is not your daughter. It is obvious you favor your daughter even though they are both equally qualified and capable," Lucille let out turning her back on Henry.

"No Lucille, don't say a thing like that. I treat Violet like a real daughter. You know what, I will personally train and teach Violet everything I know about the company and who knows in the future when she knows the company like the back of her hands, she will be appointed as president of the company," Henry said, caressing Lucille from behind.

"Thank you so much, Henry, I love you so much," Lucille said hugging him back satisfied that she got what she wanted, Now she was sure Henry will take off Violet at the company.

The next morning, Alyana went to the shop early and met Oliver there already.

"You are here early Oliver, Good morning". Alyana said, pulling a key from her bag to open the shop.

"Yes Alyana, it's my first day and I am eager to come to work". Oliver said excitedly.

"It happens a lot Oliver, you will get used to it". Alyana answered back.

Immediately after Alyana and Oliver entered the shop, a van halted at the entrance of the shop making them turn around. Violet stepped down from the van with her group.

"Good morning everyone". She said entering Alyana's shop.

"Good morning Violet". Alyana replied.

"So Alyana, where is the chocolatier". Violet questioned.

"Violet he here". Alyana said pointing at Oliver." Oliver this is my step-sister Violet and Violet this is Oliver Rodriguez our chocolatier". Alyana introduced them to each other smiling.

"So your Oliver". Violet said, walking up to him." I am pleased to meet you". She said moving her hand forward for a handshake.

Oliver shook her hand before saying, "I don't get it, do we have to do this. Shouldn't we be promoting chocolate instead of me".

"You're the chocolatier, creator of all these amazing chocolates that Alyana has been bragging about, I am going to make you famous, you should be happy because you will be a rockstar". Violet replied, motioning for Oliver to move forward.

"Well, should we get started, Jerome will take charge". She said before moving to where Alyana stood.

"You didn't tell me the chocolatier was so handsome, is that why you hired him". Violet asked curiously.

"Of course not, I hired him because he's the best". Alyana replied, looking away.

"The best at what". Violet asked suspiciously.

"Violettt". Alyana said feeling embarrassed.

"You're so serious Alyana, loosen up, or maybe you're just guilty because you like him". Violet let out.

"I don't like him okay, I just hired him for the job". Alyana clarified.

"Well then that's good, that means if I make a move you won't mind, will you?". Violet asked Alyana.

Before Alyana could say another word Violet moved to where Oliver stood.

"Are you ready Oliver, let me see"? Violet said, `` Adjusting Oliver's chef jacket." Okay let's get started". Violet announced.

"I will be at the back if anyone needs me". Alyana said moving to the back.

Violet kept on making moves on Oliver which kept on bugging Alyana.

"Wait, this is getting boring, Oliver takes the chef jacket off including the shirt".Violet said.

"Huh, why?". Oliver asked, looking at Alyana.

"Because you have to, you're a rockstar remember". Violet said looking at Alyana's reaction but seeing nothing but pity towards Oliver who had no choice but to do as Violet says.

"Nice, I like it". Violet said ogling at Oliver." Jerome give me the jacket". She said helping Oliver to put on the jacket.

"One more thing, apron please". Violet asked.

The Apron was passed to her and they tied it on Oliver.

Alyana on the other side was unhappy with what Violet was doing but couldn't say anything. She couldn't understand the new gush of emotion she was feeling.
