Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 189

''Natalie, where is Mimi? Why can't I get in touch with her? Don't tell me you finally got rid of her like the way you did to her father?'' Dindin walked to Natalie as she talked. Her voice, which wasn't exactly soft got a lot of attention making the workers whom were arriving to turn their attention towards Natalie.
''Why are you always finding fault with other people? Don't you have something better to do?'' Lucy asked angrily.
''I am talking to Natalie, not you her little lawyer. Tell me, where is Mimi?''
''Why are you asking about Mimi? I remember she called you a month ago asking for help but you gave her some silly excuses and hung the phone up on her. Why are you suddenly asking me about her as if you really care?''
''I didn't hang up on her on purpose. With everything going on, my family grounded me. There was nothing I could do about it''
''You are already this grown and still get grounded by your parents? Well, that is what happens to someone who still depends on her parents and thinks the world revolves around her''
''You…''
''Wake up, Dindin. The world is a scary place and the sooner you realize that the better for you. As for Mimi, just mind your own business and leave my family alone. Mimi doesn't need people like you in her life again'' Natalie entered the elevator with Lucy leaving Dindin speechless.
''Dindin, are you alright?'' Anita asked.
''Huh? Did she just insult me? I am going to get in touch with Mimi and make sure she deals with you Natalie'' Dindin came back to her senses and yelled after Natalie.
…
''Natalie, you are becoming so cool. Dindin didn't know what to say again''
''I need to get people like her out of Mimi's life. Now that she is still recovering, when she comes out, I hope that she can make good friends and meet people with good influence''
''Is your mother really going to stay with Mimi?''
''Mm, right now Mimi doesn't have anyone to lean on. No matter what she and my mother were once closed. Apart from her jealousy, she really loved my mother. I never thought I would one day be indebted to her for my mother's life but seeing her throw herself in the way without caring about herself, I realized then that she truly loved my mother. My mother is with Mimi, helping her. She is going to register Mimi under a psychiatrist so that once she is out, she will get treatment for her mental health''

''That will be better. Actually, if Mimi becomes a good person it will be fine too. She is still young and there is still a lot of things she can do with her life. She was a really good actress. It's a shame she resigned from the entertainment industry''
''That's true''
''Natalie, I have a meeting this morning. Let's meet later for lunch''
''Sure, bye Lucy'' Natalie kissed Lucy's cheek before stepping out of the elevator.
…..
Natalie entered her office space and sat down. She removed her phone and thought back at William's behavior.
''Should I just buy the company right away? He keeps doing sneaky things behind the scene'' Natalie looked at her phone when it started buzzing. She smiled and answered it right away.
'Mikael…''
….
Thomas pulled over a distance away from the filming set. He turned to Niania and asked, ''are you sure this place is okay? I don't mind sending you there''
''No, this place is okay. No one knows we are together; I don't want to spread rumors''
''I understand. Take your time, when you feel it's alright to tell everyone, then we will''
''I promise to not take long. I just want to be able to stand next to you without feeling less than everyone else''
''No worries, go to work. Let's talk afterwards''
''Alright, bye''
''Bye''
Niania got down from the car and walked away. Thomas turned the car and drove off.
…..
''Cut!'' the director said and clapped his hands. Alice and Reynolds whom just had their scene shot stood up and walked to the director to look at the shot.
''This was neatly shoot, Alice, you and Reynolds did well''
''Thank you, director'' Alice turned to leave and Reynolds followed her.
''Alice…''
''Yes?''
''Will you join me for breakfast?'' Reynolds asked.
''Sorry, I promised to have breakfast with Zeya. She is coming to pick me up''
''I see''
Alice smiled awkwardly and walked away. She saw Alice walking in.
''Niania…''
''Alice, I'm sorry. I overslept and forgot you had an early shoot''
''It's alright''
''Are you going somewhere?''
''I'm having breakfast with Zeya. I don't have a shoot until two hours, so I will be back before that''
''Alright, I will go and prepare the outfits you will need''
''Thank you''
….
Eve Restaurant.
''Zeya, this… you sent this to Sebastian? Girl, you just let the cat out of the bag''

''What do you mean? Do you think he will be able to tell that I like him because of this text?''
''I think that Sebastian already knows that you like him''
''Uh huhhh? Then, what do I do now? He already hung up on me last night and hasn't called me. I tried calling him but his phone is turned off''
''He can't be reached? That's unlikely, wait… I heard the director saying that Sebastian called in to excuse himself. He said he had to attend the funeral of a friend''
''A funeral? Did he lose someone?''
''Maybe, this is Friday. I think there will be a lot of funerals today''
''Alice, what if it's someone he is closed too?''
''Are you worried about him?''
''Yes, but I can't go to him because I am nothing to him. He already posted about finding the 'one' on his fan page last night. What if I go to see him and he is with that blind date?''
''Zeya, are you sure the one he posted about was the blind date? I have a feeling that the person he is talking about isn't that blind date''
''Then, who was he talking about? It surely isn't me''
''Don't jump into conclusion. How about this? Since you don't have a shoot today, why don't you go and look for him? If you see him with that blind date, then so be it. You can just walk away. But if he is alone, you can tell him the truth''
''Aye, why is it so hard to like a person? I am scared of rejection but even more scared of not being able to tell him my true feelings''
''Zeya, go and get your man''
''Alright, I will do that'' Zeya stood up and picked her bag, ''Alice, I can't have breakfast with you''
''Don't worry, hurry. Make sure you tell me the good news first'' Alice smiled and waved at Zeya.
Alice looked at her food and started eating after Zeya left.
…..
GRF Funeral home.
Zeya arrived and pulled over. Finding this place wasn't easy. She had to promise Lexis fifty signed autographs before she could get the address of this place. Now that she was here, she was contemplating on whether to go in or not.
Zeya put her black shades on and got out of the car. She locked the car and looked at the funeral house. She was about to take a step towards the entrance when she saw Sebastian walking out of the place in black outfits.
Zeya immediately turned back to her car and got in. her heart was beating face and she became confused.
Sebastian shook the hands off the four men he came out with before towards Zeya's car. He had seen her earlier on.
Sebastian opened the front seat and got into the car. He leaned against the seat and said to her.
''Drive''
''Huh?'' Zeya turned to look at him.
''How did you know I needed a ride? I didn't bring a car. I came in a friend's car''
''How did you know it was me inside the car?''
''3399 is your car number''
''You know my car number?''
''Drive and stop talking too much. I'm tired and also… hungry''
Zeya turned on the car and started it. She drove out of the place and asked, ''I heard you asked for a leave. Is the person your friend?''
''My friend lost her brother so we came to mourn with her''
''Your friend is a she…? Was she your blind date?''
''Mm''
''So, you knew your blind date before yesterday?''
''Mm, we were friends from the University. Her brother suddenly got into an accident and passed out. We couldn't go for the date. We spent the whole time at the hospital and he passed away''
''Sorry to hear that'' Zeya said and smiled subtly. ''Where should I send you?''
''My house. Where do you want to send me to? Your house?''
''No''
''I don't mind going to your house, but I might spend the whole time sleeping because I am tired''
''You talk as if I want us to do something else. Rest, I will wake you up when we get to your house''

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
