Chapter Fifty-Two: Just After Dinner
“What do you mean that your last trip to Paris was funded by your boss?” Amber screamed out in annoyance. The man sitting opposite her looked around embarrassed. He turned to face her and calmly explained himself. “You are screaming Amber.” He adjusted his eyeglasses and whispered, “What I mean is, I can't spend my life savings on lavish trips like that, I mean, I have to be prudent.” “Prudent!” Amber scoffed loudly. The man adjusted uncomfortably on his seat, “Prudent of course, aren’t you a lawyer? You should know better about how things work.” Another miserable miser spotted! Amber thought dejectedly! She had always known how things worked, of course. It had made her choose Vince, then Bernard, but now, she didn’t need a poor excuse of a good man to be with anyone. She rather wanted one that could spoil her silly, with gifts and luxury. Arguing with the loser seemed pointless. This was her sixth blind date in two months. It was starting to feel annoying when she ended up g
Chapter Fifty-One: Sorted Out
Amber’s heartbeat pounded heavily as Jake’s eyes remained on her throughout the meeting. Kate had shown up unexpectedly at the company and requested for a short meeting with the head of each department. Only Vince and Gabriella were the lower staff at the meeting but it didn’t matter. Everyone assumed they showed up for the CEO. “I called this meeting to address an important problem. Maybe you aren’t all aware, I am a tough old lady and even in my bedridden state, I still get to know everything happening in Peak Hills.” Most of the staff started exchanging curious looks. That didn’t stop Kate. It was the exact thing she wanted. When she had raised the topic of Vince revealing his identity, he had begged for a longer time. But she knew he didn’t have that as Vince Finn, the desk clerk because the petitions against him were enormous and couldn't be ignored for much longer. “Mr Lance, please bring the papers.” Tension rose in the room. Everyone knew Kate’s bodyguard Lance and h
Chapter Fifty: Blind And Guilty
Kate laid back on the sofa, her back hurt so much despite the constant massage she got. She knew it was nearing the time for another chemotherapy session which was starting to tire her out. The call she had just dropped from thirty minutes earlier saddened her heart more. She picked up her notepad and scribbled something on it. She was starting to get forgetful as a side effect of some of her medications. Just as she had condemned Vince’s mother in the past, he was facing the same problem at the company which hurt her badly. Kate couldn’t bear the thought of everything as her mind pushed forward the image of having him hated by everyone. When they finally found out his identity, were they going to quit? There was no way he could be CEO if everyone was against him. The board of directors wouldn’t allow him either. Knowing that she had limited time alive saddened her heart the more. She smiled warmly and pressed a bell. Two bodyguards walked in and the hefty one moved to her side
Chapter Forty-Nine: Sieved Out
Vince struggled to get out of bed that morning. He hadn’t been having enough sleep and his pounding head was enough proof of that. His instinct was to return to bed but he knew if he did, things might definitely go wrong. Jake had called him severely the previous night, he was already deep asleep. But when he could no longer ignore the loud blaring of his phone, he picked it up.“Mr Finn, it was a trap.”Vince’s sleepy eyes twitched awake. He got up from the bed and made for the soft couch by his bedside to listen better to Jake. He knew the other man wouldn’t call him that late without a tangible thing to report, especially a threatening situation.“What do you mean Mr Darius?”“When Bernard Harris suggested his old team for the ongoing project, it was actually their plan to get you fired.”Vince scoffed “That old hyena!” He thought inwardly but kept on listening to Jake’s narration. Apparently since Jake had praised the team the previous day as Vince had instructed. He said he w
Chapter Forty-Eight: Too Much To Handle
Amber walked into the office and all heads turned in her direction. Contrary to the broken woman everyone was expecting at work the next day, she showed up looking like she had just signed up with a modeling agency.“Hi Helen, how are you doing today?” She said as she walked past one of her colleagues.Helen’s jaw dropped. Amber had always overlooked her and the last time they had exchanged pleasantries was two years ago. She didn’t wait for Helen’s response, she just walked past her, and the others greeted her pleasantly. Amber responded politely before rushing over to her office.The stupid heels were killing her legs!She bought it off an instagram vendor a few weeks earlier. The seller had claimed it was a feminine secret seduction for powerful men. Amber wasn’t trying to show it off to her minions first. She just needed to be certain it was going to work. Obviously, it did because she got more than enough attention to confirm that.After she had settled in her office and rushed
Chapter Forty-Seven: Why Was It Necessary?
"Why do you keep staring at me like that?” Gabriella had to stop herself a million times from confronting Amber who had taken up a space in the office. The big office felt less ventilated at that moment and it made her more uncomfortable. Jake Darius on the other hand was still immersed in the fake call he was making, that he hadn’t figured out how to attend to the angry woman yet. She was left as a burden to be faced by Gabriella who hated her gut. The door suddenly banged open and Vince walked in panting hard. The urgency in Gabriella’s voice had suggested that Amber was raining havoc in the office but when he met a peaceful air, disappointment laced his expression. “Miss Reed, I waited for you at the office but….” “But what? Was I supposed to come and get treated like crap by you? If the CEO is taking me off this project, I need to know the reason for his change of heart.” She said the last word in a fragile way and her eyes travelled over to Jake’s direction. This ti
