"Honestly I don't know what to say,I'm speechless, I don't know want I did to deserve this ?".But as much as I'm tempted to take this offer, I don't want them on a front fire with Gift.

"I really appreciate this offer but I can't,I don't want anymore trouble With Gift,I will try to get through this"
Celine cut me out before I finish
"Really now, Stop pretending, you need our help, You're our friend and if Gift doesn't like it, let her deal with it, beside You're right, we want to deal with her for what she did " I heard her said bitterly.

"She betrayed our code, we promise to stick together and what did she do, honestly there's one more piece of info for you though "Sandra said mischievously.

"You my sweetheart is going to launch Your set of bag and shoes in two months time same day as PowerMart will be launching their clothing line and we make sure Ours overshadow theirs" Celine said excitedly.

"We saw your design in your note pad, they're amazing and we want You to launch under Miratech ". Sandra said finally.

"Are you guys serious right now, to launch something this big will need time, I need to update my design, I can't deny this sounds like a brilliant idea and I guess it's time I do something on my own, it's long overdue but it's going to cost a lot".    
I smiled genuinely for the first time in two weeks.

"Off course it's a brilliant idea, You don't have time and whatever You have to do, make it fast !". Celine said.

"Fine, Still not happy with you both but I do want this, it's like a fresh start for me, let's meet for lunch later at our usual place " . Knowing them they had this all planned out already.

Miss Anderson was a great help, after introducing me to the executive director and head of adminstration , they took me around the company and introduce me to their staff's, checking my wrist watch, I realised that I have an appointment to meet up with gift and Celine at usual place.

Walking to the reception ,I saw Celine waiting for me" Hey girlfriend !"said Celine walking towards me  and gave me a big hug "Hey what's up where's Sandra !" I asked Celine while taking my sit.
"chill she went to the restroom".she replied . Then I heard my phone ringing,  I picked it up and realised it was Derrick who I'm not really in the mood to talk to right now ,so I silent my phone and drop it back in my bag .

"Why are you not picking up Your call?",. Celine questioned me while staring back at me.

"Come on, it's no one important ".
I replied her casually while trying to distract her by picking up the menu to order for a drink.

"It's Derrick right?. You don't have to avoid him, I'm sure we will sort out whoever is behind this alright!"she said assuring me.

"Like seriously, drop it Celine, I messed up, this is all my fault, I got distracted and this happens, I don't want to talk to Derrick or anyone else for that matter please, so let's drop this topic ".

I knew my words will hurt her but honestly I can't take anymore confusion right now, what I need now is my peace of mind and been with Derrick doesn't grant me that.

"Alright, it's fine! ".Celine replied genuinely.

"Have you guys order yet,I'm starving"We turned to see Sandra back while taking her sit .

"We were actually waiting for You ".
smooth save by Celine because knowing Sandy well she won't mind asking us to tell her what we have been discussing about in her absent.

The next thirty minutes passed blurry with just normal talks, our order came in between since we were avoiding bringing up the topic that I honestly don't want to talk about.
