THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

Since, all has been settled. I'll be taking my leave, Mrs Sheila " Lia said turning around to leave when Sheila spoke up.

"I didn't say you could leave "

Lia turned surprised " And I don't remember having further business with you " She objected but came to a startling realization. "Unless you want to do business with me "

Sheila smiled "I wasn't wrong about you, you're smart. Perhaps, we could commence if you take a seat " She motioned with her hand and Lia struted back to her seat confidently , crossing her leg over the other.

"Alright, Talk turkey "

Sheila took a deep breath, stared into Lia's eyes and started "I'm sure you must have heard of the principal's indecent relationship with Caroline Myles "

"Didn't hear it but figured it out this morning during the interesting soap opera " Lia confessed with a hint of humour

"Right " Sheila murmured, nodding her head "Today's your first day "

"Well " She continued " I tried raising this issues alongside tons of reports during the school board meetings but each time, it's rejected for lack of evidence when the truth is right under their noses! " Sheila snapped, losing control of her emotions.

Lia raised a brow at her sudden outburst

"I'm sorry " She apologized "I let my emotions get the better of me "

But Lia wasn't interested in talks, she wanted action " So what do you want me to do? " She drawled, bored.

" I want evidence of their affair " Sheila hit the point . " Aged? consensual or not? I don't care, I just want an evidence to get him out of the way..... "

" So you could be the principal " Lia completed stunning Sheila.

She studied Lia for a moment " Well, you're proving more efficient than I thought but you're wrong "

Lia stared at her confused " I'm wrong? "

Sheila stood from her swivel seat, looking out the huge panoramic windows with her arms folded across her chest

"I've worked in this school for eight years and just the moment I was to be rewarded , he waltzed in and took away everything I've worked for, my eight years of sweat and hard work " She spat, her words dripping with venom.

Lia gave a short laugh startling Sheila

" What's wrong? " Sheila asked, wondering what was funny about her exposé.

"No, nothing . Go on, it's just funny witnessing all this dramas in one morning. No offense by the way "

Sheila's eyes twitched, why did she feel disturbed by the girl's mellow attitude. No normal person would respond to such a touching story indifferently. Was she making a mistake?

" But I'm curious about something, why me? There's must be a concrete reason why you choosed a new girl at school to do this unethical and unprofessional bid of yours? " She regarded her slowly.

"Unlike a certain dumb barbie, you're exactly his type " She replied " You're beautiful, smart, unattached and calm. You know exactly what you want "

Lia got to say, she was honoured " You think highly of me, what if I fail?"

"Oh, don't worry " She cooed " I'm a good judge of character moreover you love the thrill. I wonder what drug you're using, your eyes must be dilated no wonder you're wearing a sunglass"

Lia stiffened, the smile on her face frozen. Her gaze darkened at once, the woman thinks She's on drugs.

"You think I'm high on drugs? " She asked, disbelief written clearly all over her face.

Noticing the change in her countenance, Sheila laughed awkwardly " Are you not? "

Lia inhaled deeply, shot to her feet with her hands in her pocket " I'm sorry but our unholy alliance must come to an end "

"What?! " She snapped "Why?! "

"Seems I thought I was making a connection with someone who seem to understand the new me but I was mistaken, I was just a tool for her revenge "

She tried to explain "You don't understand...."

"Oh, I understand perfectly. But don't worry " said Lia taking off her glasses, her magenta eyes staring straight at Sheila's black ones. Sheila was taken aback for awhile until she relaxed, Lia knew she probably thought she was wearing lenses.

It seems no one understands what's going on with her.

"I would help secure your evidence because it sounds fun and not because I'm helping you out " She said and stride away before Sheila could stop her.

A fresh swell of rage rose in her, she thought she doesn't care what people thought of her but apparently she still cared. Fury tore through her but she managed to keep it in check and entered the classroom.

Immediately she opened the door , she felt the hairs on her arms stand and instinctively shifted to the side just as a bucket of water came pouring down.

The whole class stared at her dumbfounded, how could she have dodged that? They knew she was coming and had intentionally set up that prank to shame her but it ended up an epic failure.

Though she was saved from being soaked, the spilled content spattered at the hem of her black pants but she seem oblivious to it cause she walked into the classroom confidently .

Lia mouthed hauntingly ,

" Great prank but you missed moi ? "
