Seductive Company (18 page)

Danika smiled as she replied, “Yeah...well that fuckin’ packet is gonna make us filthy rich if we play our cards right!” “Get her the information...that way we can use it for ourselves and change the information so that she’s the one that gets caught up!”

Danika strolled out of the bedroom into the bathroom as Whitney faced the window. She pulled out a cigarette, lit it and quickly allowed smoke to filter from her nose as she thought, “You know, I’ve known India a long time and I don’t think she deserves to get set up like this...maybe I’m letting this money shit get to my head.”

“Wait...maybe I can work this whole thing out where we all can get what we want!”

She quickly went over toward the dressers and began to search for a large substitute envelope in all the drawers. She looked everywhere until she realized that there was none in the room. Suddenly, Danika came strolling back into the room as Whitney began to speak, “Hey Danika...I need to go to my room to get something...I will catch up with you later, okay?”

Danika gazed at her at a complete loss as she replied, “Well...okay, but I want to see you around lunch time, okay?”

Whitney smiled as she replied, “Sure...I’ll call you with a time later!” As soon as she responded, she ran out of the room, heading toward her suite. She quickly opened the door of the suite and ran into the living room toward the coffee table and there it was a large brown carrier envelope for shipping items. She opened it and found that it was empty. She smiled as she took out her cell phone and called India. The phone rang for several minutes until suddenly she heard a voice on the other end.

“Hello...who is this?”

“Girl...it’s me...Whitney...I need to see you...I think I’ve got a way to get the packet from Travis...Just do exactly like I tell you and we can get this done.”

India smiled as she replied, “Where do you want to meet?”

“I’m coming to you room...give me a few minutes and I’ll be right there, okay?”

“Sure, I’ll see you shortly!”

India smiled as she quickly hung up the phone. She strolled over to the coffee table, picking up some falsified documents that she put together implicating Travis in several financial mis-management situations and a copy of the contract that she signed with him to do this bogus assignment. As she gathered all the documents, she suddenly heard a knock at her door. She smiled as she quickly strolled over toward the door to open it. When she opened it, suddenly to her surprise it was Travis standing at her door.

“Travis...what are you doing here?” “I thought you were going to call a meeting with us, later?”

He laughed as he replied, “I plan to do that but I just wanted to come by and tell you that I was sorry for thinking that we slept together in Philly” “Whitney proved to me that she was the one that I was with that night...please accept my apologies?”

India was shocked to hear what he had just said. Despite the evil plot, he had in place to destroy her career and her life. She finally uttered a response, “Thanks, for that Travis...I appreciate that!”

“Sure...I’ll see you downstairs?”

“Sure...I’ll be down after I finish gathering my notes.”

She slowly shut the door as she thought, “I can’t believe this man...coming here and acting like he’s sorry for trying to ruin my life!” “I’ll show him what it feels like to destroy someone!”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She opened the door and this time it was Whitney.

As she strolled into the suite, she quickly handed India the empty envelope and said, “You could use this...maybe I can distract him somehow and switch the packets!”

India smiled as she replied, “I’ve got something for him!”

She took the envelope, quickly stuffed the fake documents into it, and then sealed it. She looked at Whitney as she responded; “Now all we have to do is get the real one from him.” “You go and see if you can get his attention and I’ll wait here until you gave me a call!”

Whitney shook her head in the affirmative as she quickly strolled out of the suite. As she closed the door behind her, India thought, “I really hope this works...I’ve got to stop this from happening!”
