Defending dignity
Natalie, who sat beside her, squeezed her hand with a smile, kissing it.“Everything will be fine, Rora.”Lut turned to her as the car moved out of the Rick apartment offices, his smile lighting up the car that seemed to be in a sunken state.“Let's get you a lawyer, Aurora. You're not only going to win this case, you're going to raise some dust that has been going on in the business world for some time now.”Aurora was pleased, and at the same time, she was not.All she had ever wanted was to further her career, make enough dough to retire, fall in love, and live a fulfilled life. Those plans never included getting worked up in a case with a man who had almost harassed her.Was she ready for the attention and the disturbance that was going to come with the case?She bent her head worriedly, wanting nothing more than her bed and the softness of the rug in her sitting room beneath her feet.*At the office of Zachary, the man who represented the Chain Chain consortium in legal matters,

A call from Washington
With his phone buzzing continuously in his pocket, Lutenant James was slowly coming to the realization that he was going to have to face his fears sooner or later.As soon as the car came to a halt next to Aurora's house, he turned to her, smiling sadly. He understood what a terrible day it had been for her, and if it was within his power, he would've changed things.But it was already too late.It had happened, and there was no changing that now. The only way to prevent such things was making sure that justice was upheld, which he was willing to do, no matter the cost.“You'll be okay, right?”“Yes, I'll be fine.”She nodded, her hands on the door as she prepared to leave the car. He could see how hard she was trying to be strong, how difficult it was for her to even try to think straight.At that moment, he swore that no matter what, Dylan Rick was going to get the rod of justice as long as he had a responsibility and a role to play in Aurora's case as her boss, even if it was just

Safety first
He heard his father's sigh over the phone, and at that moment, he wondered if everybody was against him going to the police outrightly. “You did good, son. You did well. I've heard about Dylan Rick, but seeing it happen to someone I've seen in my company is just ridiculous. Have you informed director Edward?” That was where Lut knew he had made a huge mistake. He had taken everything upon himself, handling the case without even telling his superiors. They had a right to know. But to him, it wasn't his fault. It had happened out of the blue, and he knew that if he hadn't acted as quickly as he did, Dylan Rick would probably be in his home, eating with his supposed wife and kids. “No,dad. It happened all of a sudden, most of the time, I didn't even know what I was doing. I'm sorry.” His father's reply was reassuring. “No, son, don't apologize. You did so well. You represented the company just as I would've wished it

A marriage proposal
“Come on, Aurora, drop the scissors. I'm here to talk. I wanted to see how Natalie was doing, and that's all. Please, can I talk to her? I came here hoping to see her, and now that I've done so, I can't go without talking to her.” Aurora wasn't having it. It wasn't because she had had a shitty day, that wasn't all. It was because she knew that Natalie wasn't strong enough to handle the same man who had put her in the hospital. “Please leave, Carl. Don't make me calm the cops, because trust me, I wouldn't hesitate to make them ship your sorry ass to the station.” She had never seen a man so persistent even when he knew the circumstances weren't favourable. And from the look on her best friend's face, she knew it was only a matter of time before she accepted his weak apology and allowed him to come in. She was there to prevent that and make sure it didn't happen. “Come on, all I want to do is talk.” Aurora brandishe

Hierarchical issues
Aurora shook her head again, leaving the sitting room with the hope to get a hold of herself before she did something she was going to probably regret later on.*“Good morning director Edward.”Director Edward sat across from him, his face a sign that everything, indeed, wasn't alright.And Lutenant James knew why.The director of the consortium where he worked had called him quite a number of times the previous day, but he had ignored all the calls.He knew it wasn't right, but he had had a very long day, and to him, he deserved some form of rest, even if it involved him ignoring the calls of one of the most important men in the company.Now, however, he wondered if he was wrong. Maybe, he should've picked the call.“Good morning Mr Lutenant. Such a lovely day, isn't it?”Nodding, Lut sipped the coffee that had been given to him by the company kitchen staff. There were cookies on his plate, and he wanted to eat them so badly because he had left his house without breakfast, but he al

Toxic loyalty
In police custody, Dylan Rick looked like the worst version of himself. A tired face, bags under his eyes and a complexion that stated how badly he had slept. He didn't smile when he saw the two men from the Chain Chain consortium, and Lut smiled regardless.It was the irony of it all that amused him, the fact that a few days ago, Dylan Rick would've jumped at the opportunity to shake his hand and say a few words of pleasantries.He wondered if that would ever happen again. He highly doubted it.Looking at director Edward, he found himself wondering what the visit was about. To him, Dylan Rick was where he belonged, in a place for sick people, and after the case, he was going to be transferred to what he would describe as the permanent site.“Good morning Dylan. Slept well?”Dylan's stare was filled with venom and an irritation that spoke volumes.“Do I look as though I slept well, Edward?”From the way Dylan replied, Lut could instantly tell that the two men knew each other prior. He

Guidance
And with those words, he left the table, opening the door and waiting, while an officer let him out, before proceeding to escort him to his cell. When director Edward turned to him, Lut's first impulse was to duck. He had never seen the man so angry. Whatever relationship that he and Dylan shared, it had been deeper than he imagined. But to him, it was just a testament of how men could bend to change the truth. For him, he didn't care about friendship and believed in doing the right thing. “Lut, I'm highly disappointed in the way you've handled this matter, and I'll see to it that your father is told about your character once he's back from Washington. Do you know what you've brought upon the company with this action of yours? We don't need this kind of publicity.” Lutenant didn't reply. To him, it was good publicity. A company defending its worker and making sure that justice was served. What more did the director want? To

Strategic thinking
“Hello, good morning. How's everybody doing?” The Johnson's main house in the city was way bigger than the ranch house, and even though they were in the same room, Richard sometimes felt as though he was far away, and he was hearing Mr Johnson's voice from a distance. That was how big the house was. He glanced at Ariel, who had purposefully ignored him since the move from the countryside to the city, and had even rejected sleeping in the same room with him. She had chosen her bedroom, and he had to sleep in the guest room. Her mother, Mrs Johnson, knew that something was wrong, but let them solve their problems by themselves, however. That morning, he had woken up to a cup of coffee, waffles, fried eggs and bacon, and he had no choice but to wonder if going back to school was going to mean that he was going to miss the Johnson's house terribly, if not for anything, for their meals. He smiled, nodding at Mrs Johnson as he gr

The boardroom gathering
“Look, I'm sorry, Ariel. I only want what is best for us. We're getting married soon, we need to have something bigger than just my agency and your salon skills. Don't you think so?” She glared at him in anger, then shook her head. “Things sort themselves out, Richard. It was always going to be alright in the end. You know this. The fact that you still decide to act as though finances were more important than I was was glaring. It was that bad, Richard.” Richard smiled, nodded and then made a move as if to touch her. She stood up, and then grabbed the tray that contained her breakfast, eyebrows narrowed in anger. “Don't, Richard, don't. Apologize properly. I deserve that. If we're going to do this, then you need to treat me better.” With those words, she left the dining room, leaving him to himself. He turned to Mrs Johnson, who sat in the next room, the sitting room, watching television but had certainly observed everything that had happened. Turning away from her in anger, he

Proceedings dilemma
“Cancel the meeting, director. My son here did the right thing. When someone is harassed, you don't wait for due process. You take the bull by the horns. You do what you're supposed to do.” Lutenant James didn't know how to feel at that moment. His father had jumped to his defence without thinking twice. “Sir, it's not really a huge meeting, and we won't take much of your time.” Lut watched his father speak, his eyes narrowed, his words firm. “Cancel it, director Edward. What we're supposed to do is see the victim, make sure she's alright, do everything to console her. We owe her that, instead of making this about someone else, which isn't right in any way.” Lut almost pumped his fist into the air in victory. He had expected the meeting to go so badly. Meeting with the board and the panel of the Chain Chain consortium meant that he had to have a solid defence, and a lot to say in order to bail himself out. Well, there had been another option he had never thought about, and that
