Mysterious Night Stand With A Pimp Turned Mogul by John Rice (novel24 TXT) 📖

Chapter 24

"What's the picture about?" He asked casually.

 

"Sir, it's about...erm..." Perry didn't know how to put it," erm...Mrs. Ida and a man on the bed."

 

"Did that happen recently?"

 

"No, although the picture was uploaded by an anonymous somebody a few hours ago, I can tell that the picture was taken a long time ago." Perry said.

 

"Her past is not so much of my concern. Delete the pictures from the internet."

 

"Got it, sir," Perry said and hung the call up.

 

While Ida was still standing and thinking of how she would walk into her department hall, she sighted Alta walking towards the hall. Before she could hide well, Alta sighted her and called, "Ida!"

 

Ida sighed in frustration and appeared, "hi ma!"

 

"What are you doing there? Aren't you supposed to be in the office?" Alta asked. Apparently, Alta was not aware of the trending news about Ida.

 

"Erm...I came here to receive a call," she said.

 

"Alright, and are you done?" Alta asked.

 

"Yes," Ida knew that she can't stay outside all day, she will have to enter the hall at some point so she walked in with Alta.

 

Once the staffs saw Alta, they immediately concentrated on their work as if they had been busy all along.

 

Ida went to her sit while Alta went to meet some some staffs.

 

Ida was feeling shameful about the trending news, she tried to go back to work but it was hard for her, she couldn't really concentrate.

 

Ida then received a call and seeing that the caller ID was Olga, she immediately walked out and answered the call, "what again?"

 

"I saw that your sex picture was leaked on the internet. I can immediately take it down from the internet. , you know that, right?"

 

Of course, with Olga's power, he could easily pull that off.

 

"Then do it," she said shamelessly, she really needed the picture to be taken off the internet before people will start saving it on their phones.

 

"I wish!" Olga said and added," if you want me to do it then you must come over to my father's birthday party this night."

 

His father? Actually, Ida liked Olga's father. Although the man is old and sick,he showed her love and had even rebuked Olga some times ago for being cold towards her.

 

So even without Olga helping her out on the picture issue, if Olga's father had personally invited her to his birthday party, she will honor it.

 

"Actually, my father also wants you to come. You know he loves and adores you," Olga was speaking the truth on this. His weak father had told him to ensure he brings Ida to the party but he has not had the courage to tell Ida yet. It was even one of the reasons why he invited her over for lunch but he didn't 't have the mind to say it cause he had a feeling that Ida will turn him down.

 

But now that he has an opportunity that he can seize, he decided to leverage on it.

 

"Delete the pictures first then I'll come, " she hung the call up without letting him say any more word.

 

As she attempted to walk back inside the hall, she saw Alta walking out. After Alta had faded off, she walked inside.

 

That colleagues of hers that had come to show her the picture a couple of minutes ago left her seat again and ran to her," Ida, how did you do it? We can't find the picture anymore."

 

Ida was stupefied, that was fast. It wasn't even up to two minutes that she hung up the call on Olga yet it got deleted . Olga really seems desperate for her to come to the party.

 

"Yes, the picture was photoshopped so I reported it with evidence and it was immediately taken down," Ida said.

 

Most of her colleagues beleived her, they beleived that the picture wouldn't 't have been taken down if it was truly genuine.

 

"Ida, you have so many enemies," one of her colleagues whose desk was at the backend of the hall shouted.

 

"Beautiful women do have lots of enemies, it's not new," another person said from another corner.

 

"Ida, can we be friends?" The colleague of her who had shown her the picture asked.

 

"Why not? We can talk after work. Everyone, let's get to work," Ida said and everyone listened and got back to work.

 

This was the first time Ida will be having a conversation with her colleagues. All these past days, she only comes to the office quietly and leave quietly.

 

When Ida arrived home, she thought it would be best to inform Ben that she was going for a night party today .

 

She had already been informed that Beau wasn't coming today cause the doctor advised him to rest at home.

 

So she plan on going to Ben's house, firstly to tell him about her plan to go to Olga's father birthday party at night and secondly to check on Beau's health. Though she was told that Beau only had a minor headache but she would still like to check on him.

 

There was no way she would take a cab from her house to Ben's house as both houses were inside the estate and cabs were not allowed inside the estate. Whenever she's going to the office, she treks from her house to the main gate of the estate where she can get a cab that will transport her to the office.

 

After six minutes had passed, she arrived before the glass house where Ben resides. On getting before the door, she pressed on the doorbell and the door gave way after a few seconds.

 

She walked in and saw Ben, "I'm sorry to come here unannounced, it's just that I have something to tell you."

 

"Come in," Ben lead her to the living room and in a jiffy, they were both sitting.
