Chapter Ninety Six
While Doris was gladly cheering for Tina amongst the crowd, someone tapped her and when she turned, she noticed it was a security personnel.
“Greetings ma’am. Madam Tina has requested that you see her after her speech” Doris stared at the man for a moment, saying;
“Are you sure that I was the one that she told to come and see her?” It was all confusing to her, why would Tina look at her amongst the crowd and send her escort to come talk to her.
“Yes ma’am, madam Tina doesn’t lie” She turned to tap Romeo, who was engrossed in the entire speech that Tina was dishing out
“This dude here, came and said Tina would love to meet with me” Romeo stared at the man intently for a moment, and remember that he had actually been on the stage with her before coming.
“I think he is right, I saw him on stage with her few minutes ago” Doris turned to the man and with one last look, she said,
“Where am I to meet up with her?”
“She chose the cafeteria”
“Alright, I will be with her then” As Doris watch the security man leave, so many thoughts began to pass through her mind.
Why would Tina wish to see her, what does she has to offer that Tina could possibly not get.
Doris had to admit that Tina was her role model, but she had never believed a day will come where she would have to meet her face to face and above all even speak with her.
The rest of the event was a success as Tina gave room to more questions, before she eventually brought the question session to an end.
Before she left however, she declared that all the meals that would be eaten by every student for lunch, the bills be given to her.
As she stepped into the administrative office, her security personnel whom she had sent, came running to meet up with her.
“Ma’am, she would definitely be waiting for you at the Cafeteria” He announced
“Excellent” Tina wanted to be sure and certain that it was whom she had presumed her to be and thus her rationale of having to call her.
When she got to the head of the college’s office, Mr. Maxwell, the rector gave her a warm welcome by ushering her to a sit.
“So I will be quick with what I have to say. As you may know, this College is owned and controlled by the Elites and by implication, means I am one of the shareholders, I want you to gathered up the students on the election day and urge them to step out to vote. Now I am not forcing you, but I just hope you are smart enough to make the right decision”
“Be rest assured that we will do all we can to gather the votes so needed from this end”

Meanwhile, Doris was anxiously waiting for Tina to arrive, while she waited for her, a thought about why Bianca might have possibly not made it to the Library crossed her mind. She thought back to the incident that occured the previous day, how the escort that has been assigned to her, treated her harshly and then she came to the conclusion that she possibly didn’t want to offend her husband.
Tina on the other hand, entered the cafeteria, her security behind her as she scout the place for Doris. The moment her eyes landed on her, she instructed the security to stay out as she wanted to have a private conversation with her.
“Well hello there” Doris turned and the moment she laid eyes on Tina, she was speechless. Aside the smile that graced her lips, Tina was literally the most beautiful lady she had ever laid eyes on. Her figures were in their right shape and the Aura of confidence seemed to consume her, as Doris could feel it.
“It’s an honour to be sitting with one of the most powerful women in the country” Doris announced as she kept her stare fixed on Tina.
“Oh! Please, I am just like you are, a young lady” The college’s chef, upon noticing Tina, approached her and bowed in courtesy.
“What would you care for ma’am” The chef asked.
“I will have anything she wishes to have” Tina pointed to Doris, who turned to look at the chef, saying;
“I think hand cheese burger would do and please get some lemon juice also” The chef nodded and left.
“So, I know you might be wondering why I called you?” Doris shook her head to say yes. The reason is not far fetched. I noticed you have been spamming me with lots of messages on my social media handles. You always comment on all my post and write ups, and when I decided tk check your profile, it said you were an aspiring activist”
“Yes ma’am, but the problem is my Dad. He would not allow me pursue that career. He instead wants me to pursue financial studies and become a financial analyst. He is a billionaire and there are chances you might know him”
“What is his name?” Tina asked, curiosity getting the better not her.
Tina had not heard of the name from anywhere before, but her guess would be that the man would be keeping a low profile.
“I will love to meet with your father” She announced. Doris on the other hand, chuckled and said;
“My father is not available at the moment, he is always busy but be rest assured that if by chance he comes I will let him know” the chef brought their food and immediately, Doris digging into her meal.
While they both are in comfortable silence, Tina’s phone suddenly rang and she opened her purse and brought it out to see it was Bianca.
“Hey”
“Sorry to bother you, but I heard you were in my school today?” Bianca asked
“Of course dear, I came to give speech about my election. You know the times are drawing closer and i need to increase the pace of my campaigns” Doris watched as Tina spoke on. How could anyone be this gorgeous. Not that she was a lesbian or anything, she just admired her.
“What did you say her name was again?”
“Doris? You have met her?” Tina looked up at Doris and smiled, saying;
“Yes Bianca, your friend is right here with me having lunch” Doris eyes widened, how did Bianca got to know Tina and never told her about it.
“Of course I will say Hi”
“One more thing Tina, I hope you are aware of the stuffs Giovanni did at the table?”
“He told me and to be fair with you, It is for the good. I stand with his decision as those mongrel were too annoying” Tina stated in low tone, she didn’t like discussing family stuffs while an immigrant is with her.
“Alright then” Tina hanged up immediately and went on with her conversation with Doris. The duo talked about almost everything.
Tina realize that Doris was really someone that would strive for greatness, she wanted to do every thing within her power, to try and help her achieve her goals.
“About the stuffs that Buddy said against you in your debates, I wish to know, are these things true? I have been making research about the Elites and so many things were confusing about the family that has been in existence for more than a decade now” Tina smiled, she knew Doris was going to somehow want to prey answers from her in regards to her background.
“My dear, the earlier you understand the fact that there are certain things you shouldn’t poke your hands upon, the better” Doris didn’t understand a clue of what she was talking and so, decided to drop the question.
Tina’s security approached her, Doris watched as the personnel whispered something to Tina’s ear, causing the latter to frown.
“I am so sorry, but I have to bring this meeting to an end, something really urgent and trivial came up and it requires my attention” Tina stated, handing over her purse to the security personnel and standing up to her feet to leave.
“When do I see you again?” Doris asked, a look of hope on her face.
“You are friends with Bianca, there is no denying the fact that we will see soon and I mean really soon. Just hold on to your ambition” Doris appreciated the piece of advice that was given to her and watched as Tina left the Cafeteria.
Tina stretched her hands, to recieve her phone as they head towards her car. She dialed a number and immediately the person she had made contact to spoke.
“He is still in the meeting with the president and Buddy” the anonymous receiver, indicated.
“Keep an eye on them and don’t hesitate to act if anything goes wrong” Tina stated as she entered her vehicle
“Yes ma’am, I have it all under control. You have nothing to worry about”
