Chapter 40 - They Both Had Plans

"Everything is set, right?" Kenzo asked Zuri when they met at work.

"Everything is perfect." She rubbed her palms together. "I can't wait to see the expression on her dumb face."

"What time's the event?"

"Eight-thirty in the evening. Which means everything is be in place before that time."

"I can't wait." Kenzo said with a huge smile on his face. "We'll talk later. I have to finish with the customers."

"Sure." Zuri resumed her work, enthusiastically awaiting the evening.

"It's eight." Zuri excitedly said. "Let's take your paintings to the Damari Hall of Art."

The Hall of Art was a huge building where the painting event was held each year. She, Kenzo and Kenji will take their paintings there, including the fake one that Zuri had created.

Once their paintings had been placed, Maude and Miu would bring their dressing bags. They would get dressed before eight-thirty, which was when the event would begin.

She would rig the room were the paintings were kept with cameras so that she could catch anyone who wanted to ruin her.

Once she presents her painting and Camie uncovers whatever nonsense she had planned, Zuri would give the evidence of phone recordings, video clips and pictures, thereby eradicating her sister from the event.

'An unbeatable plan.' She thought and smiled wickedly.

The cameras had night vision and even if the lights were off, she would still win.

She would be able to use this opportunity to forever stain her sister and have her revenge for all the years of pain and torment. 'That's what she gets for being a h.o.r.n.y b.i.t.c.h.'

"Ummm Zuri, why are you smiling like that?" Kenji asked worriedly.

"Nothing." She sat quietly and thought as they boarded their paintings on a bus. She clung to the bus seat, deep on her thoughts.

Her sister would be exposed, she would have her revenge and she would be happy.

'I almost forgot.' She laughed at herself.

That's why she created three more paintings. If her display painting was destroyed, she would have nothing to show for it. In that case, she will pull out her last card. The extra paintings will represent the display painting.

'I'm such a genius.' And the extra paintings were kept away from her sister.

In a case of cheating and having someone else do the painting, Young Master Damari always dealt with people like that. No one knows how he does it. He can identify fake artists and their helpers. He even produces valid evidence against them.

'That man is something else.'

"But Zuri, what happens if your sister didn't plan anything?" Kenzo had a frustrated look. "Then, all our plans and preparation would be in vain."

"Then," She threw her hands up in joy. "Hallelujah! She finally decided to mind her business and leave me alone. I can't wait for this."

Lucius crossed his legs and a sigh escaped his lips. 'Less than an hour. I would be able to see her.'

"We'll soon be at the Hall of Art." Sawyer patted his shoulder. "Drive a bit faster. Young Master is impatient." He said to the driver.

The driver obeyed and accelerated.

"It's only eight-fifteen. Fifteen more minutes till the event officially start."

Such an event was a big deal so, it was always live streamed and the Hall was filled with news reporters and journalists. Lucius hated the media but he had to contend with it.

Zuri took the dressing bag from Maude. "Thanks mom. I've put my painting away. Has sister gotten her own dress?"

"She doesn't have to change. She already wore it ." Maude answered uncertainly. "I'm not so sure about this, Zuri."

"It's alright now mom." She kissed her mother's cheek. "Don't worry about anything else."
