"Ma'am, I did nothing wrong I swear" Annie said, trying to convince the angry woman.
"Shush!" Lila silenced her."I paid you what you asked for. Not even a cent less. The money I paid you is equivalent to an entire neighborhood income plus they pay you salary too. I buy you the latest shoes and cloths. Tell me, why did you steal the shoes?""I swear I didn't steal the shoes. I took the box and got into the car, the ln I drove from there to Mr Santiago's mansion to pick his tuxedo and went back to the office.

Travis ran his fingers into his hair."Wait a minute. Draco works in their production unit, let me find out if anything is going on today" Luke said, bringing out his phone in a swift to make a call.

Maybe he would be back soon" Emily replied. "Is Travis in the office? What did you mean I can't go in? I'm here to see him" Annie yelled at the receptionist.

Annie asked, snapping out of her thoughts as fast as possible.She fit her feet into her flip flop and rushed outside. Mr Thomas Santiago was the visitor."Good evening" Annie greeted, wondering why the man had visited her."Can we talk?" He asked."Oh yeah, do you want to come inside?"

The shoes have to be there" Mrs Santiago replied and Scott started searching Shirley's office. Unknown to him, Shirley already arrived in the company and was already at the receptionist.

Travis walked into the company relieved. He doesn't know where the relief he had came from. Where ever it came from, he was glad it came at the right time he needed it badly. "Travis are the Italians coming this evening?" Luke asked, coming his way."I believe so, Annie is busy with preparation in my house" he answered"good to hear. I'm glad you took her back" Luke said.

Nothing, Travis" Luke pacified."Any news about the shoe?" Travis raised his brows, hopefully."Not yet but I will find out. Prepare yourself for the worst" he tapped his shoulders."Do you think the designs got to Ran Yu ?" Travis asked.

Annie turned slightly and saw a glimpse of the grumpy CEO behind her. She wasn't sure if he was really staring at her or at something else."You must be thinking too much" a voice said in her heart.The man is so hard hearted and wouldn't stare at someone like her. At times, she had wondered if she would be able to do what she signed for. How the hell is it possible to get pregnant with his child within six months!

She asked."She is on her way" he replied on seeing Shirley heading towards the elevator."Let her come" Lila grinned and dropped the call."Ohh hmmm" Scott quickly picked a new design cloth and pretended to be doing something with it."Scott" Shirley called.
