"Everyone knows you two are close" Ray "So it won't be surprising that you had helped her with all that"With that, Jane stared at Dave. Curious to hear what he has to say.The others seated at the table were also curious to hear what Dave had to say.They partially suspected that maybe he had a hand in it.But Dave smiled "What an interesting claim. Then do you mean to say that Ms Anne isn't well off enough in her business?""She is a business woman" Dave continued "So it's no surprise that she has lots of connections to get what she wants"Dave added "So what makes you think she doesn't have any connections or any idea about the popular Company Mrs Lee runs and any idea of the deals she has on?"With that, Ray didn't know what else to say.What Dave said did indeed make sense. Ms Anne sure did have connections.And it wasn't surprising that she would know about the deal. And also that she would have her way to contact Mrs Lee as well."So.. you all are trying to throw the blame on m

It was the day of the dinner.Ray had arrived at the venue of the dinner which was at a five-star hotel. They secured a grand restaurant for the event.Everywhere was already filled up. They had taken their seats at the round table. Discussing and laughing.Ray was already there seated. People there were doctors from different lines and places. They had all gathered there to eat and discuss various issues they had.A few judges of the main event were there too, talking with them all. They were all getting along.As Ray sat there quietly, he noticed that everyone was acting all strange to him.They had probably seen the news about him that was going viral. And most people were judging him.Ray had expected that from them. So part of his aim for coming to the gathering was to clear his name and fool them to his side."Hey" Someone had finally spoken to Ray about it "The news online, it's a lie right? Or is it true that you're really cheating on your best friend?"Now everyone was curio

"I'm amazed by all your works Mr Dave. They're so inspirational" someone said."True indeed. If you ask me, I think you should be the one to win that award after all. You're the best candidate for it" Another said.Ray sat there watching them praise Dave. He didn't have anything else to say.But he casually sat there feeling devastated about the fact that Dave was also in the award event.He was scared that Dave had a higher chance than him. He was scared that Dave would take the award. He was terrified.But he knew he couldn't let that happen."Mrs Ray are you Okay?" someone had observed Ray's mood and then asked."I'm fine" Ray forced a smile."Are you worried about the video stuff?" someone asked.Now everyone's attention was on Ray again. Wondering what his reply was going to be.He smiled it off "No. Not at all..." Ray said."He isn't worried about it. I mean he already said that it was all a lie. It was all fake. He wouldn't do such a thing, so why would he be worried" someone p

Ray clenched his fist "Scared of you? Why would I be scared of someone like you??"Dave smiled as he looked in another direction "You already had everything within your grip. A perfect plan and all. But then I came in and ruined the picture..."Dave stared at him "So of course you're scared of what the future holds for you now that I'm here. You're scared of me. Aren't you?""You're talking rubbish! I'm never scared of you. So shut up!" Ray snapped.Dave smiled "Is that so? Then you should also keep calm. Sit back and relax and let's play it fair. The finals are coming in like a week now. Let's see if you really are not scared of me. And if you can be calm till the end..."Ray glared at him "And what's that supposed to mean..?"Dave smiled "Since you aren't scared. Then let's see how everything goes later on. Okay?" Dave smiled as he turned and went back in.As he left, Ray clenched his fist "You.. you think you're something because of what you did? You think you're something because
