【MRS LANCELOT 】
~YUN’S HOSPITAL~
Meanwhile, Kimora, who was watching the whole thing with mixed feelings, clenched her fist tightly. She meant to leave but Karen had caught a glimpse of her already.
“Kimora!” She called loudly that made her halted on her step. She sighed deeply before walking into the ward.
“Hey” Kimora waved at her with a forced smile. Karen noticed that immediately immediately a immediately for on her face.
“Is everything okay?” Karen asked with furrowed brows out of concern.
“I’m good, have you been waiting for long?” It was that point that Kimora raised,her head up and Redford had the chance to see her face fully.
“You!” He exclaimed in surprise, Kimora just replied with an eyes roll.
“You too know each other?” Karen questioned.
“Not really, We met…..
Kimora covered his mouth to stop him from talking further. She grabbed Karen’s hand before leading her out of the ward, not without giving Redford a hard stare though.
*
“You said you have a lot to tell me. I’m all ears” Karen began with curiosity in her eyes.
“What’s your relationship with the dude at the ward?” Kimora asked instead, ignoring her question.
“You mean Redford? He is Andrew’s personal assistant so we just click somehow. What about him? You know him from somewhere?”
“He is the one I am telling you about, I think I have a crush on him” Kimora blurted out with a cute pout. Karen’s shoulder dropped immediately.
“Huh?”
Kimora went on and explained everything to Karen from their meeting point at the restaurant to her reaction in the morning at his house.
“I just find him charming” She concluded.
“Then go for him, Redford is a very nice and funny person” Karen encouraged her.
“What is his type of lady?” Kimora pressed on further.
“I don’t know” Karen replied taking a sip from her juice.
“Can you help me to ask him?” Karen choked on her drink as soon as Kimora said that.
“Why me?”
“You appear close to him though, do this for me as your best friend. Is that too much to ask?” Kimora said making cute faces.
“But that’s an absurd thing to ask a man” Karen retorted sharply.
“I’m just desperate. You’ve always told me stop using the dating right? I promise to stop if you help me just this once, please”
“Listen….. you don’t have to change yourself for anyone, just be the real you. Be who you are and anyone who likes you should learn to accept you, just the way you are” Karen adviced.
“Just a few weeks of you being married, you are already sounding like a love expert” Kimora joked and that got Karen smiling widely.
“He found out about the pregnancy” Karen said.
“Really? What was his reaction? He accepted the child right? How is he treating you? He’d better be treating you like a queen you are” Kimora said with a sneer.
“He is still cold towards me but there are some improvements though. I don’t know why but I want to get him to open up fully to me, I just want to stand by his side always. I know his hurting and I want to have a chance to heal his broken heart” Karen said.
Kimora started clapping loudly shocking Karen.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Did you even listen to yourself talk the whole time? You’ve finally fallen in love, hunny” Kimora said with a knowing smile.
“No… no… what are you talking about? I am just being caring and…… You know what, how about you give me tips on how to make him get free with me, I’m sure you are an expert in things like this” Karen said leaning closer.
“You came to the right person then” Kimora said with an air of pride, flipping her hair backwards nefire proceeding to talk.

~LANCELOT CONGLOMERATE~
Luciana stood up from her seat immediately Yasmine entered the office, her heels making clicking sound behind her. She recognized her as Andrew’s supposed wife before Karen came into the picture.
“I am here to see Andrew” Yasmine said.
“He is quite busy and he asked that no one should be allowed into his office” Luciana answered. Well, she just lied but who cares? One thing she is sure of is that she is never going to let Yasmine have her way into the office.
“And who are you to decide that? Do you know who I am? Andrew can never be busy for me, you should tell him that I am here” Yasmine insisted.
“I just have the follow the instructions given to me by my boss irrespective of who” Luciana retorted adamantly.
“I guess you want it that hard way and you’ll get it” Yasmine said before trying to force her way into the office but Luciana resisted her, using her strength to push her back.
Andrew on hearing the commotion outside came out with a frown on his face.
“What is going on here?” He demanded coldly and the two women stopped fighting immediately.
“I just asked a question” He repeated when no one was ready to give him answers. He averted his gaze from one person to another.
“She tried forcing her way into your office even after I told her that you were busy” Luciana explained briefly.
“Babe, I just want to see your face” Yasmine said and meant to take a step forward but Luciana dragged her back.
“Leave Yasmine or I’ll have the securities to throw you out. I bet you have to save yourself the embarrassment by leaving quietly” Andrew said in a voice that shows no objection.
“I’ll be back okay? We have a lot to talk about” Yasmine said taking her bag. She gave Luciana one final stare before walking out.
“I’m sorry for the troubles sir” Luciana apologized quickly with a slight bow.
“It’s fine, you should have just called the securities instead of having to banter words with her” Andrew said before going into the office.
Luciana both cheeks burnt deep red, she bit her bottom lips beaming in all smiles.
“He cares about me” She said staring into the space dreamily.
*
Yasmine entered her car breathing heavily, her face had turned red due to the embarrassment she had received earlier. Just as she was still fuming, her phone buzzed loudly. It was a message from Seven.
“ARE YOU GOING TO BE THIS WAY? I THOUGHT YOU’VE GROWN TO LOVE ME” He sent.
“IN YOUR DREAMS” She texted back.
“REMEMBER THAT YOUR S*X TAPEIS STILL WITH ME, I CAN JUST RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC AND TAHT WILL MEAN GAME OVER FOR YOU” He replied.
A smile tugged at one corner of her lips as she read the text.
“I’LL LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY THEN” She replied. She had actually deleted all of the videos containing their s*xual intercourse on his device.
“I h@ťě you all” She said frustratedly with gritted teeth, pressing on the car horn and it blared loudly.

~LANCELOT MANSION~
“Welcome back” Karen said with a smile as Andrew entered the living room. He didn’t even spare her a glance and just took the stairs.
Karen was taken aback by his cold response.
“What just happened? I thought he was starting to answer my greetings at least” She mumbled hitting her bottom lips. Her gaze landed on the dinning table causing her to such deeply knowung fully well that the food will just go to waste.
“Did something perhaps happened to him at work? Did he have a bad day?” She couldn’t help but get worried. She ran her hand through her hair, pacing around the living room.
*
Karen knocked on the door with unsteady breathe. After much contemplation, she had decided to check on him. The door made clicking sound before it was finally opened.
Andrew popped his head out through the door throwing a questioning look at her.
“Are….are …you okay?” She found herself stuttering with her words.
“Do I look like I am not okay?” He retorted sharply and that made her swallow into nothing.
“I was just concerned since you didn’t reply my greetings earlier” She said playing with her fingers nervously.
He stared at her for a while and meant to close the door but she was quick to stop him.
“I cooked, I was wondering…..
“Not interested” He said coldly before slamming the door on her face. Karen stared at the shut door as she tried hard to fight back her tears.
“He’s so mean” She whimpered slumping on the floor dejectedly.
*
~8AM_NEXT MORNING~
“I’ll be there soon, I…..
Andrew paused on his words as he sighted Karen who was arranging the dinning table. As usual, she had cooked for him which is still surprising to him considering the fact that he had rejected her food last night.
She hummed a song as she did her work, dancing to the song she was humming. She swayed her lips from one side to another. Andrew’s eyes followed the very movement of her hips. As much as he wanted to look away, his eyes just seemed glued to her body.
He found himself staring helplessly. Since he was just at the first step of the stairway, she didn’t quickly notice him until she raised her head up.
Andrew cleared his throat looking away immediately.
“Good morning sir” She greeted as usual. He mumbled some incoherent words in reply. He walked past the dinning table, ignoring the food even though he already saw it.
“Hold on” She rushed after him. She stood in front of him and helped with his tie which was slightly loosed. Again, Andrew found himself staring at her.
“You look great today” She added with a smile. She waited for a while before standing in her tiptoe and like that, she slammed her lips on his, giving him a light peck on the lips.
“Have a great day at work” She said moving backwards shyly. Andrew stared at her dumbfoundedly, he wasn’t expecting that from her, not at all.
“Do you love starting what you can’t finish?” He said in his normal cold voice.
“Huh?”
Karen blinked her lashes rapidly in confusion. His eyes were on her and like that, he took a step closer and then another. She found herself moving backwards subconsciously until her back hit the wall.
He raised his hand to the wall pinning her and he leaned closer. Karen eyes bulged out in shock and slowly, she closed her both eyes, patiently waiting for wh@ťěver that would come next.
Just then his phone rang out loudly interrupting him. He got himself back, luke he has been hypnotize the whole time and stepped away from her.
“On my way…..
He said into the phone and like that he stepped out of the house without sparing her a glance. Karen touched her chest which was beating faster than usual.
“What was that?” She asked no one in particular.
“But you closed your eyes too, what were you expecting?” Her subconscious mind retorted.
*
FEW MINUTES LATER**
A knock sounded on the door and Karen went for it. She was not expecting anyone and Andrew just left the house.
“Who is there?” She asked, opening the door. Her gaze landed on Yasmine who had a frown on her face. She recognized her as the former bride of Andrew.
“Who are you and what are you doing in my boyfriend’s house?” Yasmine questioned.
“I am Mrs Lancelot” Karen replied with a dead pan look, her expression not giving room for intimidation.
