" I'm certain you heard me right didn't you? you are not so dumb that you can't understand basic explanations or do you want me to explain it to you once again? " Mr. Thompson questioned.

" I understood everything clearly but I can't stand the fact that my loyalty to this question is being questioned " Ryan spoke out.

" Loyalty? Is a criminal loyal to anything? " Ms. Stephanie asked.

" Stephanie, I'm sure you don't believe what is being said about me right? after I lost my job six months ago, you gave me a chance to start over again, to become something strong and to bounce back "

" I could never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, I'm contended with everything that I have with me, there's no way I would commit such acts " Ryan explained.

He tried his best to convince her.

To make her see the truth for how it truly is.

But Ms. Stephanie rose up to her feet, everyone took a step back, but they were all alerted in other to stop Ryan if he tried anything foolish, a lopsided grin appeared on the lips of Ms. Stephanie.

She took a step forward, approaching Ryan without uttering a single word.

Ryan took a deep breath, he smiled.....with the believe that she trusts him.

But what came next shocked him to the bones.

The smile directed against his cheeks resounded, the pressure caused him to turn his cheeks sideways, his eyes widened.....laced with shock.

" Stephanie...." Ryan voiced out.

But Ms. Stephanie responded to his call by spitting on his face, Ryan staggered back, he placed his right hand on his cheek, still unable to believe what he just witnessed.

" You filthy scum, my mother has always warned me that you were nothing but a mere lowlife, a leech who came into my life to suck my life dry, I always knew you were after my wealth you bastard "

Ms. Stephanie cursed out.

" What in the hell is going on? what's wrong with you Stephy? " Ryan asked, he winced softly while rubbing his already reddened cheek, wishing this was all a dream but he knew for a fact this is reality.

" Tch, still calling me Stephy huh? are you that desperate to feast on my family's wealth? the evidence against you are clear and solid, you and your team has been defrauding my clients in secrecy "

" Erasing traces of thousands of dollars and even stealing five million dollars from this company's account "

" We have everything all traced back to your bank, I trusted you Ryan and yet you decided to pay back my trust in this manner huh? "

" I'll make you suffer for this.....this is a promise " She roared out loud.

" Ste....Stephy....you are getting it all wrong, I could never...."

Ryan was quickly interuppted by the sounds of a phone ringing, the H-R Co-ordinator quickly answered the call, the call went on for a few minutes, the office room remained in absolute silence.

That's until the call ended.

" Mr. White....any news? " Ms. Stephanie questioned.

" Yes ma'am, the police officers are waiting outside as we speak, they are waiting to collect the criminal " the H-R Co-ordinator explained, Mr. White couldn't help but smile, meanwhile Ryan's heart raced.

" Police officers? am I being arrested? " Ryan asked.

" Is that really a question? what do you think happens when a criminal is being apprehended? you are a thief and a scammer, this company will be charging you for fraud and theft, you will spend the rest of your days behind bars "

Ryan couldn't believe his ears, just with a single glance.....one could tell that she's extremely serious.

He's innocent, he knew he had to prove his innocence to her.

" Stephy, please listen to me and understand me, this is a misunderstanding, I'm being set up, I could never do....." Ryan was interuppted once again but this time, a punch was thrown against his face.

Ryan staggered back.

" Tsk, how pitiful can a man be, even after having your cover blown and being exposed for the thief and the criminal you are, you still don't want to accept your fate, you even wanted to attack me "

" You will surely rot in hell " Ms. Stephanie spat on him once again.

But before Ryan could do anything, he was pounced on by the men of Ms. Stephanie, they were aggressively hitting him without care, as long as he wasn't killed then it doesn't matter how excruciating he was beaten up.

" Stephy please...listen to me, I didn't do anything.....I didn't steal any more, I didn't defraud anyone, I'm innocent " Ryan spoke out but he was silenced by a punch to the jaw.

He bled out but no one gave a flying damn.

They had him dragged out of the office room, those who witnessed this humiliation mocked him as he was being dragged out of the building, they tossed Ryan, leaving him extremely wounded on the ground.

He was left to the hands of the police officers who waited for him, without care for his injuries.

Ryan was swiftly handcuffed and thrown into the back-seat of the police car.
