CHAPTER FOUR
Leah stepped into the large room and yes she did look surprised but wasn't actually surprised by the look of the whole house, the room itself would be large.
The wall opposite the entrance was made of glass and on the right side, there was a queen sized bed with a golden frame, and a phoenix was painted on the wall behind the bed which was the only wall made from brick in the room.
Leah stepped in and fell on the sofa facing the TV with a bright smile. "Wow. Pretty."
She would have never thought the day she stepped foot into the prison that she would come out to be in a luxurious and beautiful house like this.
The TV slowly came down from the roof and it was turned on.
"Shocking news as Red Phoenix welcomes their new new boss at Silver lining club tonight." The reporter announced as she stared at the screen.
"It has been a shock to everyone when Leah Ruby, a female who was put into prison for no reason by Roberts was announced the boss of Red Phoenix at Nora Robert's wedding after she was released from jail."
"We are still trying to get some words from Nora and her father on the reason why they imprisoned boss Leah." The reporter said.
"I have nothing to say to any of you." Nora barked at the camera people. "She assaulted me."
"But evidence has it that you were the one who tried seducing Bruce who was still her legal boyfriend that night." Another reporter threw the question at her and she almost exploded.
"Excuse us for now, Ma'am Nora wouldn't want anyone to ruin her wedding day."
"It already is ruined," Nora screamed as she was put into the car.
Leah chuckled as she turned on the phone placed on the bed alongside other electronics. All her details were on the phone already and she just logged into her social media and see it was already flooded with messages and videos of her with captions, "Bad boss."
Leah stepped into the bathroom and took a quick bath before dressing in a black bum short and white oversized shirt.
She was drying her hair when she heard a knock on her door and Declan announced to her that lunch was ready.
When. Leah walked into the dining room, she was shocked to see the whole table filled with different delicacies and an old woman was still there serving some dishes.
"Isn't this too much?" Leah laughed nervously as she sat at the head of the table.
The old woman didn't want to say anything so she just stood there and Leah understood that it was a boss to worker relationship.
"Declan have you had lunch? You can sit." Leah flashed him a smile and he looked like he wanted to protest before he sat down anyways.
Leah was served different dishes by the old woman and when she tasted them, it was delicious. It's been long since she had any delicious food because she was in the prison where they managed food for the hundreds of them in the prison.
The only time she got to eat some takeout was on Saturdays of Kyler felt like eating them and they got ordered for him. He shares with her if she goes to him then.
"This is delicious. You cooked it right?" Leah asked the old woman who nodded gently.
"It's delicious, thank you." Leah flashed her a smile before she continued to eat.
After that, the hall was silent till they finished eating. There was still lots of food left and Leah knew majority of it is going to waste.
"Share the rest to the men. If it isn't enough, cook them more." Leah said as she stood up and walked out of the hall with Declan behind her.
"You'll be going to Silver lining club today. You were invited so your arrival will be celebrated." Declan said as she walked towards the main hall.
"Ohh, VIP. Send someone to pick Mia up once I'm leaving and also, start arranging some lawyers and other means to get Kyler out of prison." Leah said before walking away and Declan did as she said.
Silver lining club was located in the middle of the city and rich people were always there. Leah's glass heels stepped out of the car and she looked up before shifting her rimless glasses up her nose with her middle and ring fingers.
She wore a white suit with a jacket draped over her shoulders. Her hair was curled and rolled down her shoulders.
Just then, Mia's car arrived and she stepped out of the car. As she spotted her best friend, she hurriedly ran to her but bumped into Declan.
"Woah, easy there." He said as he grabbed her by the waist to prevent her from falling.
A gasp escaped Mia's lips as she stared into his amber orbs. She shook her head before jumping back up to her feet and apologizing to him.
Mia walked to Leah who was looking at both of them, chuckling. "What's wrong Mia? Why are you as red as a cooked lobster?" Leah teased.
"This is not the right time to be teased, Leah. You've got a lot to tell me." Mia said as they both walked down the red carpet.
The bouncers at the entrance bowed when they saw her walk in and allowed her in.
The club was already in full swing and people were already dancing and partying. Different kind of people were there and entertainers.
Leah, Mia and her men were led up the stairs on her VIP seat which showed the whole of the club from above.
Leah sat comfortably as she looked down at the pile of dancers who were entertaining some men. "That looks entertaining," Leah said as she took the bottle of champagne next to her and handed it to Mia.
"Let's pop the champagne." Mia squealed as she pulled open the bottle and liquid rushed out of the bottle rim.
Leha handed her two champagne flutes which she filled to half level before dropping the bottle.
"So tell me, Leah." Mia asked as she watched Leah place her lips on the rim of the glass and sip from it. "How did you end up here? Tell me."
"Well, when I got to prison, I met Kyler," Leah said.
Leah wasn't even ready to go to prison when she was dragged there. Although Bruce was there to tell her goodbye, after that, she never saw him again.
Leah stepped into the prison yard with some police following her with two wardens. She was holding her blanket and extra prison clothes.
Unknown to her, someone from the top floor was watching her. He recognized her right from when she stepped into the yard.
"Tell them to put that lady in the room next to the men's prison." He said and his minion bowed before walking away to deliver his message.
"She's finally here after all these years."
