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
Chapter Forty-Six: The History Left Behind
*Flashback* Vince’s eyes scanned through the monitor and his jaw dropped in disbelief. Amber rushed into the office at that moment, her usual neat bum looked out of place and her flawless makeup had been ruined by the line of tears. “What’s wrong?” Vince questioned as he rushed forward to embrace her. Thankfully, the rest of their teammates were out for lunch, so they had the office to themselves. “I will be jailed! I didn’t agree to this at all, Mr Harris and….” “Slow down, Amber.” Vince said worriedly. Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, the sound of her voice made Vince’s heart ache. He had sat at the computer scrutinizing the report he received, still wondering what was happening, when his lovely wife had walked in in tears. Seeing her at her lowest hurt him beyond words. A few weeks earlier, they had both joyfully celebrated their conception. “Why didn’t you tell me when you were forced into it?” Vince said, slowly picking his words not to hurt her further. “Mr Har
Chapter Forty-Five: Torn Apart By Truth
Jake was silent all morning, he kept glancing towards Gabriella who was totally immersed in the work she was doing. Both of them had never been on the same page on things, but they managed to continue tolerating each other longer. Vince had always known about this but he didn’t care. They were both adults and liking each other wasn’t necessary. The only important thing was not compromising their mission.“Mr Darius, is something wrong? Miss Carris, is there a problem?” Vince questioned suddenly, taking them both by surprise.“Everything is fine.” Jake responded.“Nothing is fine!” Gabriella interjected. “I deserve an apology!”“I already told you I don’t owe you any!” Jake shot back angrily.Vince just stared at them. He wondered what was actually happening but he couldn’t figure it out until Jake spoke again.“I told you I wasn’t tailing Mr Finn, and moreover, why were you at the restaurant too?” He glared at her.It was starting to make more sense. The previous night, he had put i
Chapter Forty-Four: One Wrong Reason
Primrose settled in on her chair and threw another candy into her mouth. Her attention was sorely focused on the monitor. She watched with interest the actions of the sales attendant she had caught the previous week. She was certain from the girl’s action that she was yet to detect that she had been busted. She kept attending to customers and her focus remained on what she was doing. Primrose zoomed the screen and took another look at her tattoo. She compared it with the one she had discovered and a cocky smile crept up on her lips.It was clear who put a tail on her, her old friend. An NIS agent who had helped arrange her release from jail. She contemplated the idea of confronting the girl but decided against it. At least it wasn’t like her life was in any danger.She discarded the notion and focused on the favor Vince had asked her. He had told her to choose the best, but Primrose still found it difficult. She had never attended such gatherings. And for the fact that attending
Chapter Forty-Three: Under Siege
Maria turned her face to the screen of the television. Not that the ongoing show interested her but for the fact that Bernard’s words irritated her gut. “As I had said earlier Miss Reed, Amber owes me an enormous apology.” The older woman turned to face the man with a sneer on her wrinkled face. She had always hated Bernard’s garrulous nature. And now, even after Amber had clearly cut ties with him, the fool wasn’t bulging a bit. This was the third time in the month that he was showing up at her house to lament about everything Amber her daughter had done. First, was orchestrating how he was demoted, then the abortion. And now he kept blabbing about wanting respect from Amber. “You seem to be getting something wrong. Amber never owes you anything, even her ex-husband…..” “Please don’t bring up that loser, Miss Reed.” Bernard cut in sharply. Maria felt insulted, but unlike how she reacted to Vince, a small part of her still decided to maintain her respect for Bernard Harris. B
