The staff in his office were aware of how their company was incurring losses lately. The rumor spread round the office like a wild fire. When some of the workers greeted him and he failed to reply, they knew what he was dealing with. "Good morning Sir. " Judy greeted him smiling from ear to ear. "Morning. " he slowly replied without looking at her. He walked pass her and entered his office. Judy slowly sat back on her chair and stared at the disappearing figure of Gideon. 'Is he angry with me because I couldn't figure out the owner of LIA bars? " she wondered. 'What if he fires her. ' she thought and quickly dismissed the thought. She pulled a handkerchief from her hand bag and cleaned her sweaty face. Throughout last week, she had been trying all she could to figure out who owned LIA'S but to no avail. Her investig

"Surprise! " professed Emma. "You guys weren't expecting to see me. Were you? " she asked them. Gideon was still transfixed to the spot and so was Judy. They were speechless. Emma smiled and gradually stood up. Gideon couldn't believe the sight before him. Was he really seeing Emma or is his mind playing games with him? Emma smiled the moment she stood up and Gideon knew she was real. His whole body felt as if it was soaked in ice and he filled chills down his spine. He couldn't bring himself to speak neither could he move a brow. He was shocked to the bone marrow. Judy on the other side of Gideon was as shocked as he was. Unlike Gideon who stood firm like a rock, Judy's eyes rolled all over Emma and she felt like running out of the room but her feet were stuck. Emma who was already standing up was enjoying the spectacle before her and she was gloating in her mind over thier shocking reaction. She smirked inwardly and decided to walk up to them. Emma started walking towards the

After Gideon and Judy left the auditorium last night, he stepped into the car and didn't utter a word to Judy nor the driver and Judy on the other hand said nothing to him.
