"Good morning boss, the investors are here. They were about to begin the board meeting without you."

"Tell them to wait." I said in brief voice.

"But sir--"

"Shirley, if you don't love your job, attempt to argue with me."

She immediately kept quiet and collected my suitcase from me.

"Ah, I was afraid I won't catch up with you." I heard an all-too-familiar voice calling out to me. I turned around to confirm my suspicion. It was Chad, my younger step brother.

He was dressed in an expensive looking suit that fit his figure impeccably.

"Tell the investors I'll join them in five minutes." I told Shirley in a dismissive voice. She nodded and walked away.

I blinked at her, as I scrubbed out the stain from the wall."You've been following me everywhere." She turned to look at me, and for the first time I noticed that her eyes was a shade of pale blue, and she had long lashes that looked almost fake and made me envious. "If I didn't know better, I'd have concluded that you're just looking for an excuse to be around me.""Well, you're very beautiful." I blurt out, to make up for the awkward silence. "And you're fun to be with?" I tried a smirk and tried to look flirty, but I'm very sure I looked constipated.

She's smiling as she turned and began to scrub the wall vigorously."No, I'm not." I humped my shoulders and contorted my face to look as pitiful as I could. " My girlfriend dumped me.""Oh

The call log was filled with calls from a hidden number. I tried dialling the number, but it didn't connect. I was very sure it was Fiona, but I still did not have enough evidence to pin her with it. I chuckled at how ironic everything was. I had cut down the number of staffs I had for my safety and Fiona had still managed to infiltrate my security. I decided then that I was going to double the security, by installing cameras everywhere in the house. I didn't want to take any chances now.I picked up my phone and called Jeremy, my trusted guard."Keep a close watch on Emma and Jim." I said as soon as he had picked up the csll. If you notice anything suspicious, don't hesitate to strike." "Yes sir." His deep voice growled from the other end.

I snapped furiously at the short bald man in front of me."Well you were not the person who gave me the gemstone yesterday. It was a young man, not you."The man stupidly replied, while I stifle the urge to throttle him. His claims were baseless because I literally looked the same way I did yesterday, except for my boobs."Okay fine." I controlled my anger, and decided to reason with him. "Let us just pretend it was my twin brother who gave you the gemstones, and now that I have the money to pay for the hospital bills, I will like to retrieve them on his behalf. How about that?" I plastered a sweet smile on my face."Like I said..." The man replied, seemingly unaffected by my charm. "... I will give the genstones back to who gave it to me.""Well fuck you!"

I had been hoping that the event that happened last night had been a dream, or maybe a figment of my imagination.I laid still on the bed, thinking about my fate now. Now that my secrets was out, what was Logan planning to do with me?I needed this job badly.

After all, I was the one who had lied and deceived him.I took a deep breath and unbuttoned my shirt with shaky fingers, while Logan watched me with hooded eyes. I eased off the shirt away from my body, revealing the bandage around my thorax. The cool breeze from the air conditioner made bumps spread across my arm and elbow. I wrap my hands around myself protectively."Go on." He said, when I had dropped the shirt on the floor. I frowned in confusion. Go on to what?"I..I don't understand." I stammered."Take off the bandage Alex."I felt chilled to my bones. I looked up at him imploringly. "But sir, I...i..."He grabbed my arm viciously, his fingers digging into my flesh."Don'

Maybe she had slept off. It was already late. I decided that I'd see her the next day. I turned to leave. My phone vibrated In my hand, startling me. It was an incoming call from an unknown caller.
