“Ping.”

Sarah woke up with a start hearing the mobile message.

She looked around a little unclued and spotted Amelia reading a book in one lit corner of her VIP hospital suite.

“How long was I asleep?”, Sarah asked with her head still feeling fuzzy.

“Oh you’ve had a good full night’s sleep thanks to the medicines you were administered. You needed it. Your brothers and sister-in-law just left after taking turns to be with you. I came in about an hour back. And your doctor – God! I say woman! Dr Sam really cares for you. In the past one hour that I've been here, he checked on you several times with a puppy look in his otherwise stern persona!”, Amelia winked filling Sarah in. “ And Nancy left you a big basket of home baked cookies. The aroma is so-o tempting. Let me get some coffee. What say?”

Sarah smiled and nodded. Amelia’s enthusiasm was infectious. However soon her smiled turned into a dark grimace as she scrolled down the message on her phone.

“What happened? Who ?”Amelia asked ,

Sitting in Sarah’s hospital room, Amelia softly informed her about Jessica and Robert trying to bag the Home Décor lampshades campaign.“Why don’t we kickstart our Butterflies Ad Agency with edging out Robert and gang and bagging this contract?

    Back at the Pride Healthcare hospital, a Rolly Royce bearing number plate 9999 came to a stop. When the car door opened, golden incredibly high heeled shoes with green bottoms caught the eyes of everyone standing by. A tall stunning woman with flowing dark brown hair, wearing an emerald green velvet business suit with gold trim and matching green-black and gold butterfly brooch emerged. The hospital crowd shifted to the side as she walked in with an aloof look, her heels clicking with every confident step.“Sophia”, Sarah squealed in delight as the gorgeous woman stepped into her VIP room.Next, much to the amusement of Amelia, Henry, and the nurses standing by, the cold woman suddenly kicked off her tower heels, almost jumped to Sarah’s bed and gave her a warm hug and kissed both her cheeks.“I missed you so very much my soul sister. Sorry for the delay in coming. I didn’t want to infect you with my flu”, Sophia gushed breathlessly, before adding, “ I have come with excellent news – B

    “Sorry sir, I am not morally corrupt like your Jessica here”, Evelyn responded. "While I worked at Leo Ad agency I was totally loyal to you and the company. But I was thrown out unceremoniously without any fault or notice time. Now that I have joined Butterflies Ad Agency after going through their stringent recruitment process, I am not totally committed here. I will not cheat, nor betray the company or people who have reposed trust on me.”Then turning towards Jessica, Evelyn added, “I am a God fearing person and believe in Karma, so I tell you, Karma will catch up with you soon and hit hard. You have backstabbed an honest and good person who helped you. You will soon come upon misery.”Added with the pain in her entire body and specially legs feeling like jelly from the arduous climb, Jessica was livid hearing the exhortation from Evelyn. She took out her entire anger on the young assistant and also lunged to hit her,“ You penniless bitch, what makes you think you can sermonize me…”

    Back at the hospital Sophia and Amelia were in splits after hearing about the meeting debacle and the punishing fourteen floor climb up and down by the dashing Casanova Robert Hudson, his prudish assistant Josiah Stewart and pompous femme fatale Jessica Williams.“Oh Sophia! You are superb. Were it not for you and Amelia, I would have lost faith in friendship as well”, Sarah sighed while having a hearty laugh. “I almost had a heart attack thinking you’ll lash out and spill the truth when Robert remarked that I will work for him again, but mercifully you kept your cool. Your pretty talons might have got eight layers of paint by now!”, Sarah continued laughing.“I would have actually lost my temper had you not barked ‘Cool’, Cool’ into my earphone”, Sophia admitted getting agitated again, “Imagine the audacity of the man! What does he think of himself! Just because he is handsome he thinks he is God’s gift to womankind or what? After using and dumping you, he got Jessica and is now scr

    The mood of the three smug top representatives of Leo Ad Agency as they started their exhausting climb down after their unsuccessful meeting at the Butterflies office was in stark contrast to the happy romantic mood at the hospital.“The gall of that bitch! She offered to buy my company? Josiah, why is it that you have no data about her? Who is she? Where did she emerge from? And how can she make such a bombastic offer just after landing one deal? Who is backing her?”, Robert let out his steam once he was back on the dirty staircase of the building.“Ouch..”, Jessica cried as she slipped across two stairs. “This is worse than hell. I can’t walk another step”, she cried, taking up her broken stiletto heel. “Josiah carry me down”, she commanded.“No one will carry you woman!”, Robert thundered, “ you are a total disgrace, a blot for our company. Who told you to attack Evelyn here? And till date I could not fathom how you dared to attempt killing Sarah in a security zone! You really have

    At the Hudson mansion, the evening and night were neither romantic nor erotic. Robert had stormed in with the foulest possible mood and thrown a stack of credit card bills in front of his parents and sister who were being served their evening coffee and snacks at the time. “Explain”, he growled, “You all know that the company is down in the dumps financially. No new client has come in, and old clients are leaving one by one, and yet both you spendthrift women have piled up exorbitant credit card bills! To top it you are eating out in super expensive restaurants everyday and have also added new maids in the house. Where are we going to find this money from? You want me to sell this mansion? Dad, you should have at least drilled some sense into them.”“What do you mean no new client is coming? Isn’t Jessica writing your ads and getting deals?”, mother Carol Hudson asked incredulously.“Not a single deal has trickled in after Sarah left. All Jessica’s ideas and scripts have got rejected

How can she be so foolish!”, Robert cussed.“The idiot must have got frightened with mom’s threats”, Larissa snickered.“Threats?”, grandpa Charles Sr picked on the statement immediately.“Tell me all that transpired after I left. Truthfully and in absolute details. Only then I’d be able to help you all and salvage the situation for the family”, the elderly man slumped down realizing the gravity of the situation. “What is there to get so worried about? I bet the ugly Koala bear is going to scamper back to our house by herself, begging us to take her back after she’s discharged from the hospital and after Henry Hill gets tired of her”, Larissa let her motor-mouth loose again.“ Hospital?”. “ Henry Hill?”, the old man was shocked beyond words.“Shut up

Didn’t the hooded fellow who carried out the dirty job say that the man who commissioned the job spoke to him in fluent Thai language? Sam doesn’t speak Thai at all.”“But he could have covered his tracks and hired someone to speak on his behalf”, the Police reasoned.“What the hell!”, Henry was angry. “This is a wrong track I tell you. I think that bastard Robert himself planned this whole thing out to come out looking like a saint and frame Dr Sam as he is desperate to get Sarah back after he realized she is rich.”“You should investig
