Juliet looked at him, confused at first. She looked down at the papers in front of her, without giving him a reply. Robert waited for a moment, wondering what was going through her mind. "Are you angry at me, Juliet?" Robert said, feeling slightly guilty for having a relationship with Olivia. "If it's about Olivia, then...""It's not angry at you, sir." She replied sharply, an edge of rudeness in her voice. "These papers came in just moments ago and I'm afraid that somebody is trying to sell off one of your companies.""What do you mean?" Robert's brows rose, his initial purpose of talking to Juliet disappeared. "No one can sell my company without my approval. Or whatever." He picked one of the papers immediately."I think the person has already sold it. Apparently, he lied about the company's ownership and provided fake documents to the buyers. Because that is the only way he or she could have pulled this off.""What company is that? And who sent this?" "The textile company. The ma

It was almost time to go home. She had arranged her desk for the next day's work already. Just sitting with one of her legs crossed over the other, she breathed in deeply. The relieving feeling it gave her brought Robert to mind."Why did he want to have lunch all of a sudden?" She asked herself, but was unable to provide her question with an accurate answer. For all she knew, Robert was in love with Olivia and was in a relationship with her. She sighed once more, a part of her hoping that Robert would be hers, even she knew it couldn't be forced. She leaned towards her desk and peered down at her phone screen. "Finally!" She exclaimed in a whisper, and got to her feet. She took her phone and bag, and made for the elevator. Just as she reached to press the elevator button, it dinged. She gasped and took a few steps back, her heart thumping at the thought of meeting Robert face to face."Hi." Robert said with a smile as he walked out of the elevator and towards her. It all seemed so cl

"So, what is going on with the investigation, officer?" He asked in a calm and focused tone. He was in the police chief's office once more. The place was still very much the same as when Robert came with his grandfather some time ago."You mean Mr Mendev?" Officer McDave sighed, his eyes pinned to the table as he took a pen in his hand. From the way he acted, Robert suspected that the investigation had gone cold."Yes. Him. I haven't heard anything about it since the interview. Not even on the news.""Well sir, it has not been easy. In all my years of service in the police force, I've never had a case this difficult. At the scene of the crime, there wasn't a single foreign fingerprint that could hint at somebody. The murder weapon was nowhere to be found as well, even when we know what kind of gun was used. It is just really frustrating. And the most annoying this of all is that Mr Mendev's body is missing." He sighed."Are you serious right now? How is that even possible? Do you know

"What do you mean by he was not breathing anymore?" He asked, trying hard to stay composed. "My grandfather is not dead. He is not dead!""Yes sir." Raymond said in a very collected manner, turning both Robert and Martha's attention to himself. "Sir Jude isn't dead. The doctors are treating him right now and he will be fine.""Yes. Yes. He is fine." Robert took a deep breath, as he looked around for a seat. Just then, the sound of his ringing phone interrupted him. He drew it out immediately and wasn't surprised to see that it was Juliet calling. "Hi there." He said quickly, trying to hide the worry in his voice."Hi babe. I've been expecting you for a while now. Aren't you coming anymore? Are you okay?""I'm fine. It's nothing.""Robert." She said slowly, wondering what was going on with him. The jolly spark his voice usually came with wasn't there. She knew something was wrong. "What do you mean it's nothing? You don't sound fine. Robert, talk to me.""It's..." He paused and sighed.

"He is stable now." The nurse finally said. There was a texture in his voice that left Robert in so much doubt. Even though, Robert wanted to breath in since he felt relieved, he didn't know how long the feeling would last."Then, I can go see him, right? We can take him home today, right?""No." He said coldly, lowering his head a bit. "Mr Jude is in a stable condition now, but we don't know how long he will be, unfortunately.""What do you mean by that?" Robert asked at once, his eyes widening with curiosity. Juliet walked closer to him and placed her hand on his back. She could feel his breaths from his back because he was breathing heavily."I can't answer any more of your questions. The doctor will tell you more instead. But for now, your grandfather wants to see you. Excuse me." With that, he walked away.Immediately, Robert rushed in to the emergency unit and was shocked to find his grandfather in such a bad state. There were tubes fixed on to different parts of his body. He wa
