Amber walked into Peak law firm and many heads turned in her direction. Her aura radiated so much that it didn’t go unnoticed even to Vince. He stared intently at the CCTV footage in the office with one thought in his mind.She had definitely gone through with it.Her annual leave was meant to end in two days but she resumed quite early, which laid out curiosity for Vince Finn. But his curiosity about that couldn’t withstand his flair for the forbidden.Everything about Gabriella Carris!Ever since their encounter that night and her kiss, he was curious about who she really was and how she could uphold her professionalism after doing that. As Gabriella had told him that night, the next day they met at the office, she had sunk back to her usual care-free personality.She didn’t even act meek or girly around him at all. Vince had to summon every courage he had, to face the new norm and pretend not to know that he had a special female bodyguard by his side and not a mere secretary.“Mr

“I must say,” Jake paused slightly, “You did a wonderful job Miss Reed.”Applause rained heavily in the air. Amber was blushing as she stood up to accept the CEO’s acknowledgment. Whispers of congratulations were thrown her way but one person sat with his hand on his chest, her latest greatest hater, Bernard Harris.“Thank you Mr Finn, I promise to give more wins to Peak Hills law firm.”Internally, Amber was beaming with unspeakable excitement. The court case was so difficult and it felt like they were about to lose. She knew the implication of losing out was the law firm losing one of its top clients. And it would prove Bernard Harris right, that she wasn’t competent enough for her new position.Amber had always been the type to test her limits. As a last resort, she reached out to Vince, her ex-husband and requested for assistance with his knowledge. She offered to buy him dinner which Vince didn’t refuse. It was like the universe was working tirelessly in her favor.They met at

Amber slammed the door shut as she rushed out of the CEO’s office. She cursed inwardly at the witch secretary who obviously wasn’t going to give her any chance with the CEO. Amber had really taken great care with makeup and clothing choice that morning. Snitching to the CEO whilst looking sexy would have made it all better. Annoyingly, Vince became a victim.She rushed into the VIP elevator and pressed for the third floor where her office was located. Her mind shifted to half a dozen files stacked on her table. That moment, she hated the huge responsibility and accountability that came with being the boss. But when she remembered the praise she earned from the CEO the previous week, she felt like it was actually worth the trouble.When she finally got out of the elevator and entered her department, she was welcomed by Bernard Harris who turned out as the first person to beat the expected resumption time.They exchanged pleasantries shortly and when Amber turned to leave for her offi

“Well, I guess we could say it was a friendly warning.”Amber’s words echoed loudly in Vince’s mind. It took him a few seconds before he realized that a question was being thrown his way.“Mr Finn, I…said, do you have more proof?” An ill-tempered woman with curly hair among the disciplinary committee questioned again.“Yes I do.” Vince said, quickly rubbing his itching nose. Thankfully it was starting to heal from the huge punch he had suffered from the bad tempered Josh two days earlier. As Vince had ruled, the disciplinary hearing was taking place at that moment. Jake Darius was also on seat along with three other board of directors, three other top executive attorneys in the firm were also appointed as the disciplinary committee.Gabriella, Amber and three other department heads were only present as observers. Vince was called in to provide evidence of the crime committed by the lawyers. Just as he had expected, Josh kept sending threatening glares his way.After the attack on him

“Never mind, Miss Carris.” Kate said with a subtle smile.Gabriella scoffed inwardly, did the old woman just play a fast trick on her?The meeting ended soon and everyone dispersed back to their departments. There were talks in the group but Kate didn’t care. After exchanging handshakes with some top attorneys, she flattered them with their commitment to the firm. Despite knowing they all did dirty deals, she knew they would be caught with time.Kate didn’t bother returning to the CEO’s floor with Jake Darius and Vince. She insisted that the bodyguards led her back to her car so she could return to the mansion. Jake didn’t probe, he knew the older woman had access to him and her grandson anytime. After they returned to the CEO’s floor, Jake felt a sense of unease down his spine. He knew he would be sidelined eventually, after all, he was a paid actor. But when exactly would all the luxury he was enjoying going to be stripped off him? He didn’t know.Gabriella paced the room obviousl
