Another Chance At Love Chapter 81
Adele’s Pov Rachel must have been sitting at the window waiting for us because she opened the door and came out as we approached her driveway. I smiled a little as Jay threw himself into her arms. “I missed you Rachel!” He said happily. “Me too honey. How have you been?” She asked. “Fine. Mommy has a job.” “Are you okay?” Rachel asked me. “Sure. Great.” I said. The tone of my voice said otherwise. She frowned but didn’t say anything. We went into the house. “Lunch is almost ready, how about a little snack while you wait?” Rachel asked Jay. “Yay!” He exclaimed. I tried to protest, but Rachel ignored me and gave him a snack. She put on a cartoon channel to distract him then dragged me into the kitchen. “Okay out with it.” She said putting a beer in front of me as I sat at the kitchen counter. “When you called me yesterday night to say you were coming to visit I knew something was wrong. What happened?” “Why did’t you think I just wanted to see how you were?” I

Adele walked up to her desk and angrily grabbed the flowers, ready to drop them in the trash. But she stopped when she saw the note attached. I am really sorry, going to do better. Dan. She stared at it, not believing her eyes. Dan? He had sent her flowers as an apology? She couldn’t stop the smile spreading on her face, then frowned. Dan Richards would have to do more than just flowers to earn her forgiveness, she thought. She put them in a vase on the edge of her desk. Tim came in. “Morning Adele, how is the design going?” “Almost done. Do you want to take a look?” “No, only Mr. Dan is allowed to see it. You guys will be submitting it next week. Will it be ready by then?” “It will.” “Remember there is a promotion in it for you.” He said and left. “And I am going to get it.” She mumbled. Zoey peeped in. “Hey Adele, are you okay? Dad told me you and Dan had been in an accident. I wanted to come and see you but he said it wasn’t serious, are you okay?” “Yeah.

Adele’s Pov I stretched and yawned, then glanced at my watch. It was thirty minutes to closing time. I was exhausted and couldn’t wait to get home. I looked at the design on my laptop. I know I had done a good job and I was proud of myself. I could hear my promotion calling me and I smiled. So far work was perfect, I wish I could say the same for my private life, especially my family. Dad had again been calling me to demand information. I had refused to pick up because I didn’t know what to say to avoid an argument. He was beginning to suspect I was playing him and holding back information and he was furious. I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to help him destroy RICH INTERNATIONAL just to get his company back. He would get it all back eventually, all he needed was time and patience. I just wished could understand that. I sighed and began clearing my desk. Zoey came in. “Hey, are you leaving now?” She asked. “Yeah done for the day, besides it’s almost closing time.” “And the des

Zoey breathed a sigh of relief when she came in and found that Chris had already eaten dinner. Good, at least I won’t see his face at the dining table, that would ruin my meal. She thought. But she had to talk to him. She knew he would be in his study as usual. He worked at home just as much as in the office. She walked over to his study and knocked, then pushed open the door. Chris frowned at her. “You were late for dinner.” He said. “I was working late. With so much to do I didn’t want to leave anything half done.” Chris tried not to roll his eyes. He regretted saying this because he knew where it was going. He continued typing on his computer. “I do everything I can to make sure the company runs smoothly.” She added. “I know.” He said not looking at her. “Is that all?” She demanded. He looked up with an irritated sigh. “What exactly do you want Zoey?” “Maybe a thank you and recognition for all my hard work.” “Thank you Zoey. You are a hard worker. Good enoug

Adele’s Pov It was nearly midnight when Dan and I walked into the house. Brenda was in the living room watching a late night movie. I began apologizing for keeping her so late. “It is okay, I enjoyed it. I have nothing to do at home anyway.” She said. “You don’t have to go, stay in the guest room.” I suggested. “Don’t fuss dear. I am driving remember, I will be fine.” I walked her to the door and came back to join Dan in the living room, but it was empty. I was happy to see he wasn’t at the bar. I heard noises in the kitchen and went to investigate. He was standing by the counter. “I will be right over I’m making coffee, do you want some?” He asked. “Yes, thanks.” I was sitting in front of the TV when he brought the coffee. We talked about work and an upcoming business party that was taking place at the end of the month. “Have you worked in the corporate world before now?” Dan asked. “Never. When I was in Palo Alto I worked in a furniture company, then an int

“What are you doing here dad?” She asked surprised. “Looking for you, what else?” “Why?” “Why do you think? You have refused to answer my calls, or get in touch with me. I know you have information and I am her for it! You can’t avoid me any longer.” “Keep your voice down.” She said closing the door. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t have anything yet.” “Do you think I am stupid? You expect me to believe all this time you don’t have anything?” “I don’t. If I did I would tell you. I am working in the designing department. What information could I have?” “What designs are they working on right now?” “Nothing yet.” She lied. “ So far everything is pretty slow. If I have something I will tell you.” He frowned at her. “You are coming from a meeting right now aren’t you? You must have heard something, no matter how little. Think.” He said. “Dad, it is a general meeting, where we mostly talk about how to be good workers, not about company secrets.” Ade

Adele was smiling to herself when she got back to her office. Lunch with Chris had been great. She had enjoyed it so much, she hadn’t remembered to talk to him about her dad’s company. Another time, she decided. And she knew there would be another time, she meant what she said about taking lunch to him often. But lunch with Chris had also given her a feeling of déjà vu and she tried to remember why. She gave up and decided to have a final look at her design. She had finished it this morning and it was now ready for tomorrow. She opened her desk drawer where she kept her USB but couldn’t find it. Panicking, she looked again and relaxed. It was there, far inside. She couldn’t remember putting it that far back but she must have. Who else could it be? Leaving it here in the unlocked drawer was a reckless thing to do though, she thought, But she hadn’t expected she’d stay away as long as she had. Well no harm was done, by tomorrow it will be out of her hands. Zoey came in. “You a

Dan tried to hide his surprise. “What the hell are you talking about?” He asked. “I am talking about the new design for the children’s clothing line you are launching soon. Adele came to see dad a couple of days ago and told him about it. She said she and some other designers were supposed to create a unique design. She plans to give it to Owens Group so their fashion division can launch it first.” “That is impossible. She doesn’t know which one will be chosen, even I don’t know.” “That is why she’s giving them all the designs.” “How would she get them?” “She plans to steal them.” Dad didn’t know what to say or believe. Everything Karen was telling him was information only Adele had. “I tried calling you to tell you but you blocked me. Coming here was the only option left.” “What did your dad say? Is he part of it?” He asked. “No. Dad didn’t think it a good idea and told her so, but she insisted she would do it. He thinks she is joking but I know she isn’t.” “But

Another Chance At Love Chapter 93
Adele's Pov Craig was waiting outside the café as I pulled up in front of it. It had taken me nearly half an hour to calm down and drive to meet him. “Are you okay?” He asked as I walked towards him. “No. You were right.” I said sadly. We entered the café and took a table. “I am sorry I was. But you shouldn’t be surprised. Dan is such a heartless jerk, sleeping with your sister is something he can do.” “Even though he was hurt when you and Candice did the same thing to him?” I asked raising my eyebrows at him. “It wasn’t the way you think. Candice was in love with me. We were dating but Dan loved her and refused to let go. He forced her to agree to a wedding. She only did it because she was scared of him. I am sure you have seen how he behaves like a violent animal. But she got tired of pretending and came to see me before the wedding. She asked me to help her talk to Dan, and tell him how she really felt. He happened to come over and saw us talking and got all worked

“I told you to leave it to me!” Chris said angrily. “I warned you not to go to see Karen. Why the fuck didn’t you listen? Now look at the mess you have caused. How the hell did you think it was a good idea to be sleeping with her when married to her sister!” “I am not sleeping with her. We aren’t even dating. I am just using her to get information on Adele’s plans.” He stammered. “Really? Where you getting information the night of the accident?” Chris asked mockingly. “I am sorry about that. I don’t know what came over me, but I swear I am not sleeping with Karen.” “Tell that to Adele.” Dan winced remembering the argument last night. Zoey came in. “What?” Chris asked her angrily. “I saw Adele hurrying out of here looking like the world was ending? What happened?” She asked. “Nothing. Everything is okay.” Her dad snapped. “You haven’t seen the news have you?” Dan asked. “What news?” He showed her. She read it and gasped. “What the fuck! Adele really leaked it! S
Another Chance At Love Chapter 91
Adele's Pov "Do you still say Karen is lying?” Dan continued, glaring at me. “Enough Dan.” Chris frowned, and turned to me. “Go on Adele, I am listening.” I couldn’t speak. I read the headline again. Owens Group were announcing the launch of their new design. It was the same design I had created. “I don’t know how they got this.” I said, still shocked. “Well we do. Karen already told us. You gave it to them just like you planned all along.” Dan said. “She is lying! But you are sleeping with her you jerk so you will believe anything.” I snapped. “What?” Chris frowned. “I caught them together. He was coming from a date with her when he had the accident. And to think I covered for him.” I said angrily. “Dan! Is that true?” Chris asked sharply. Dan looked embarrassed. “We are not sleeping together. I just wanted information, which we have. Now we know what Adele has been planning.” “I wasn’t planning anything I didn’t leak this.” I insisted. “Calm down Adele. Do

Knock! Knock! “Come in.” Chris said. He looked up as Dan walked in, then frowned. “What is up with you? Why the long face?” He asked. “Don’t tell me you and Adele are arguing again?” “Dad it’s worse than that.” Dan said sitting on the couch. He had decided to tell his Dad before seeing Karen instead of after. He still didn’t want to believe Adele was really working against them, the thought was killing him. He loved her and he couldn’t hide it anymore. “What now?” Chris asked sitting beside him. “I thought you guys were happy together?” “We were. I even bought her a car, but Dad she is planning to ruin the company. Karen was here yesterday-“ “Karen?” Chris asked rolling his eyes. “This is real Dad! She is going to sell our design to the competition.” He told Chris everything he’d been told. “She is the one planning it, not her dad. He is the one trying to stop her.” Chris snorted. “Yeah right!” “Karen has evidence Dad.” “Karen had evidence the last time and

Adele’s Pov I noticed Dan was quiet throughout dinner. I could tell something was on his mind. I didn’t ask him till I put Jay to bed. When I came down he was sitting on the couch. “What is up with you?” I asked sitting beside him. “You were quiet throughout dinner.” “Nothing. I am okay.” I smelt alcohol on his breath and tensed. “You are drinking? I thought you are trying to quit?” I said anxiously. “I just took a glass of wine.” He snapped. “If you are trying to quit them you shouldn’t be drinking any alcohol.” I said gently. “I am not a kid Adele, okay?” “Fine. How about we go and have am early night?” I said gently rubbing his neck. He got up. “I have work to do.” He said. “Leave it for tonight.” “I can’t. I have to protect the company from the people trying to ruin it.” He glared at me and walked out. I heard the study door slam shut. What was that about? I thought confused. One minute he was hot the next he was cold, would I ever understand Dan Ri
