After re-watching the video, Julia was convinced that the allegation against Raymond was true beyond every measure of doubt. Because of this, she decided to engage him in a silent treatment. For the next few days, she kept to herself. Each time she saw him approaching, she would scurry to her room or if they crossed paths, she would make sure they didn't have bodily contact. A lot of things that she usually does like cleaning up, and preparing food, she stopped everything. Raymond on his part tried every means to make her believe his part of the story but she was adamant. Niko was enraged when he learned about Julia's disbelief. Because of this, he tried all that was within his power to make sure Raymond revealed the video but as usual he was adamant. Raymond kept saying that he wasn't going to do that for any reason. He told him that he believed that the more he tried to convince her, she was going to listen to his story someday. Frustrated and angry at Raymond, N

The staff were enraged that they didn't want to hear the news that James and his team wanted to say to them. Each time James cleared his throat to talk, their voices went an octave higher. Frustrated, James dismissed the staff leaving only his team behind. With Mayor by his side, Raymond returned to his office. He had barely taken his seat when the door creaked open and a group of staff forced their way into the spacious office. Wondering what the problem was, Raymond adjusted himself on his seat as he cast Mayor a glance hoping to get words from him but it seemed Mayor was as confused as he was. "Is everything alright?" Raymond was forced to ask when the staff refused to say a word, rather, they were staring at them. "On behalf of the firm, we are here to apologize for speaking ill of you. We are sorry that we allowed the leaders to sway us with their words. Please forgive us" Their spokesman, an accountant said, "Uhm… this is not necessary" Raymond said feeling slight

Raymond was about to flip the third file open when he dashed in. Wondering what was chasing him he raised his head only to be greeted by the panting figure of Mayor. Setting his pen aside, he asked, "What's the issue now?" "You really need to speak to your fans. Those dudes out there are questioning the living hell out of me. I have no response to give." he gasped Raymond chuckled as he imagined the scene in his head. "You just have to deal with it. Remember you said you were going to support me all the way? This is one of the ways you can support me." he smirked and then resumed work leaving Mayor to pull himself back together. Since Raymond had resumed, Mayor decided to resume his usual routine of morning naps. He propped himself on his chair and within three minutes he was fast asleep. Apart from his soft snores, there was no other sound in the office. Just before noon, Raymond was able to finish up the pile of work Mayor had piled up. Flipping the cork of his bo

When Raymond got home that day, he met Julia studying for her exams with a friend. Tugging his briefcase, he walked up to them and then with a smile asked, "How were your exams?" "Tough." Julia snapped as she pulled her hair with both hands. It seems she had been waiting for this question for ages. Smirking, Raymond placed his hand on her shoulder and then gave it a soft massage. "Study hard so it won't be tough," he whispered in her ear and then turned to leave. He was about to walk into the lobby when he turned around and returned to the dining table where they were seated. "Hi, nice meeting you." He said to her friend who was all smiles. "Nice meeting you too. My name is Freya." "Raymond." He smirked and then turned around. After the study session with Freya had ended, Julia made her way to the balcony where she had sighted Raymond sitting with his laptop. "What are you always doing with your laptop?" She queried before flopping beside him. "Playing games."

Just like they didn't believe him even after showing them proof that he was innocent of the CEO's wife's allegations, they didn't believe him when he said he had no idea who Antonio was. The questioner, who turns out to be the head of the accounting department, Mr. Mickey rose from the chair he had been seated on and then began to make his way towards Raymond. His purposeful movement and intimidating height was supposed to throw the chicken-hearted off balance but Raymond kept his stance. He made sure he kept eye contact with him to show he wasn't scared. "Are you telling the truth?" Mr. Mickey asked when only a few meters separated him from him. "Yes, I am. Apart from my boss and a handful of people, I don't know any other." He replied, matching his piercing gaze with the same intensity. Turning around, Mr. Mickey returned to his seat and when he had reclaimed it, he said, "Antonio is from the IT department." "I have no idea about that." Came the curt reply from Raymond
