After a little talk, Freya excused herself to the rest room while William decided to work on a small pending file through his phone.

Ericka and Xander were both currently at the rail, gazing down at the well lit city of paris.

"I hope Mrs Fiona was not too harsh on you?." Ericka asked, remembering the old times at the orphanage, especially when they got into trouble, mostly Xander.

Xander chuckled. "Nah. Leo and I used to teach her a lesson."

Leo was Ericka and Xander's close friend back in the orphanage.

"But...she died before I got adopted." He added and Ericka mouthed an 'O'. Yes Mrs Fiona might be-had been a wicked soul, who had maltreated them a little but she was still the one who took care of them.

    Her sharp sea blue eyes scanned the area alertly. She looked to her left and then to the right before her legs moved like that of lightening. She ran for an incredibly long period of time before her legs finally gave in so she decided to get a little rest by the side walk. She stayed there for a while gazing at the potholed roads with a disappointed look. It was getting quite late and the potholes were barely visible, any reckless driver would be sorry they had used this road as a route.Mr Crocker had died this way–she thought."A-ha!, gotch ya!." Xander Miler, a 5'9 feet tall boy, quite amazing for his age, shouted, pointing his index finger at her with an unbelievable wide grin showcasing his set of missing tooths."Fine. You win, but only a little." Ericka Wood. Flashed him a knowing look before stingily tearing out a little piece of her bread.Xander outstretched his hand and quickly collected the little piece of bread before hurriedly running to the other side of the road."Tsk

    "That's enough Ericka. Escort me to the garden."Grandpa Hart said and Ericka nodded before he outstreched his left hand, placing her palm lovingly in his, his right gripping his aid stick tightly. The fruitful garden was lit up brightly by the afternoon sun. Grandpa Hart led Ericka to a golden like seat placed in the middle of the garden."So dear, tell me about yourself."Ericka smiled slightly."My name is Ericka, i'm twenty four. I'm an orphan, I lost my parents at the age of five and...I guess that's all."Grandpa Hart laughed slightly and shook his head."No dear, that's not what I meant.

    Some hours later,The car came to a halt in front of an airport and Freya looked at both of them with wide eyes."What are we doing at an airport?!."Xander looked at her with reassuring eyes. "Trust me. It's part of the plan. I know you don't know me too well, but I promise, i would never do anything to hurt either you or Ericka. So just come with us."Freya finally calmed down. She looked at William and he nodded reassuringly at her. "Fine." she said.Xander smiled and immediately placed Ericka on his back, but of course it wasn't easy due to her constant wriggling.But they inventually made it towards his private jet. Once inside, Freya couldn't help but gasp. The interior of the jet was covered in gold.Even the covers of the seats were all covered in gold. Since she was sitted beside William, she was quite curious and asked. "Is this real gold?."William looked down at the woman in front of him, her eyes sparkled a little when she mentioned the word gold."Do you want me to bu

    ---The next day.Freya went to the corner before finally answering the phone which had been ringing none stop."Why weren't you picking?." Xander questioned immediately. Freya rolled."Do you want Ericka to find out that her best friend is actually talking to the man who made her cry?."There was a moment of silence. Xander's low voice rang from the other end."...No""Exactly. That's why I needed to go to a safe place before picking your call. Do you understand now?."She said and Xander let out sigh from the other end. "Yeah. I was just a little nervous you might back out at the last minute."Freya also sighed."...Ericka means a lot to me as she does to you and don't think i've forgiven you fully. I just want to see Ricka happy. I know she won't admit it, but she really misses you."'Maybe that's why she engrosses herself in that tv show, to forget about everything.' She thought within her.Ericka who had just woken up sluggishly made her way towards the kitchen before downing a p

She'll have to find a way to break that tv.Once she was inside the building, some of the workers greeted her and she returned their greetings with a warm smile before settling on her desk."Hi Freya." Emily who had just arrived waved excitedly at Freya and the latter waved back.Emily sat on Freya's desk, her leg dangling in the air.Emily was Freya's sub-ordinate and both of them were quite close even though Freya was some years older than her."What?." Freya asked when she noticed Emily's intense gaze on her.Emily smiled mischievously. "You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend."Freya:"..?""Cause I don't. What makes you think I do?."Emily's smile widened. "There's no need to be shy. He's currently waiting for you outside."Freya:".?!"Freya raised a brow. "Stop messing around Emily. Get

    Later that day, Xander decided to go to the office. Once he entered, everyone's gaze immediately fell on him. Knowing that it was all due to what had happened at the party, he ignored them and went straight to his office, his secretary running behind him."Yesterday's report?." Xander leisurely asked, his eyes glued to his computer."Nothing new sir. Mr Braden, once again tried negotiating a deal for Yeild's view. But..."Xander looked up. "But what?.""The finicial department had reported that someone superior has been smuggling a large sum of money."There was a moment of silence. Xander clicked his tongue."And do you know who this person is?."Lan shook his head. "No sir. I had asked the person in charge of the financial department, but he refused to say anything. I suppose he had been bribed."Something evil glimmered in Xander's eyes. "And what's the name of this person?.""Edison Quad.""I want him fired."Lan nodded and immediately exited the room.---After breakfast, sneaky
