"I'm out for lunch." Dinah say as she take her coat which she spread around the chair and her bag as she walk out of the office with everyone gazing at her as they mumble after she left.

She hailed a cab as she enter it, her phone beeped and she took it out of the coat pocket, she unlocked it seeing that August sent a text message.

She smirk after reading that he is already at the restaurant they usually meet up and he typed that she shouldn't disappoint like how she has done yesterday, after visiting her sister in the hospital.

Dinah typed back that she is almost there as she send it to August before putting her phone back to the coat pocket.

She look out the window breathing in as the cabman made a U-turn.

Minutes later, she alighted from the cab and paid the driver his requested amount before walking to enter the restaurant.

As she enters, she look at the left side of the restaurants, she saw August as she walk to him.

"Hi" She say as she have her seat.

"How you doing?" August asked giving her the restaurant menu

"Good, you too?" She asked back staring at the menu.

"Yeah. What would you like?" August question

"Uh... Hamburger and ice cream." She answers dropping the menu to the table

"I will take the same" August say as he press a button on the table and within some seconds a waiter came receiving their orders and went to pick them.

"How is your first day at work going?" August ask conversationally

" Uh. Simple, not stressful yet. " Dinah answered." Hearing from Nancy? " She ask concerned and August put on a sad look

" What? Is your wife okay?" Dinah questioned

"I guess not. She lost her parent" August tell

"What!" Dinah whisper yell. " How? What happened? When?"

"They were murdered. The same day you lost your parent. " He replied as Dinah look shocked

"She must be going through a lot." Dinah say down

"Come on. You are also going through a lot," August say." Dig in"

Dinah nod sighing as she pick on her hamburger.

"Oh, less I forget." August say as he open his suitcase bringing out a file, dropping it on the table.

"Here is the record of people that visited your parent on the day they were murdered. " He informed as Dinah take it munching the burger that is in her mouth.

She hung her coat on the chair and drop her bag on the table as she take her seat.

She opened it, seeing that it was from Mr. Ethan, her boss.

Reading it, he informed her that he is throwing a welcome dinner party in her honor in a club and she should be there at 7.pm, he as well sent her the address.

Dinah scoff after reading it,

She thought he was such a strict boss, and throwing a party or whatever seems meddling to her which she doesn't appreciate.

She unzipped her bag, bringing out the file August had given her as she open it.

And look through it, seeing the names of five people who had visited her parent before their death.

She was confused of who to suspect, since she has spent most of her life traveling around the world and has no clue of who is her parent best friends or enemy.

But one thing is for sure, that they once had an enemy connection with the Sebastian's.

Dinah look at the file to check whether this Sebastian has visited her parent on the day of their death and it turned out he had.

She quickly went to her g****e search and typed the man name.

It brought out the list of the companies run by the Sebastian and how they deal illegally without getting apprehended.

She saw the numerous illegal dealing of Sebastian and his gang.

Dinah became so glue to this that she started jotting some point down about the Sebastian which she already believed he might be the one who murdered her parent.

She went ahead in knowing the person who posted it and found out that it was a journalist, she click on to find out who the journalist may be, before getting interrupted.

"Miss Dinah." Alexa called and Dinah look at her

"Uhm... Aren't you going to the welcome party Mr. Ethan threw for you? " Alexa asked

" Is it... " Dinah almost stutter as she look at the time realizing it was six thirty already.

She sigh, "Are you going also?" She ask and Alexa nod.

"Okay." Dinah say as she pick up the file, putting it to her bag and the note which she has recorded all about the Sebastian as she shut down the computer.

"Let's go together then." Dinah say wearing her coat as she take her bag walking away with Alexa.

Wishing her secrets shouldn't be unveiled and the meeting with other Boston's should go peacefully.She wore a bright smile and walked down the stairs to meet with her son as she climbed the last stair."Hey."
