“Is she not your friend and Daisy’s?” the lady on the other end asked and Cindy nodded hastily like she would see her do that. “Yes, she is ma. But as it is, she’s closer to Daisy and would stop at nothing till Daisy is at least vindicated.”

“Think about this ma’am,” Cindy continued. “If the truth probably comes out that Daisy was set up and Rose is able to get evidence that Daisy was actually a victim that night, it would be bad. Not only would she get sympathy from the netizens but Finn’s media would pay for damages and she’ll perhaps become popular and loved again. All our efforts will be in vain.”

The other end went silent as Cindy waited for her to probably say her mind or dish out orders.

After a long pause, her reply finally came from the other end. “I’ll see to it. Just lay low for now and keep an eye on Daisy. Besides, you don’t have to show your displeasure and hatred for her out there so people won’t get suspicious of you.

“I don’t ma,” Cindy answered hastily. “I mean, she’

    “Thank you very much doctor, I really appreciate your help,” Cindy thanked the doctor for the hundredth time as she walked him to the main entrance.The doctor nodded and turned to face her. “It’s okay miss. Just make sure you check her from time to time. It would be great if you can stay with her throughout. Call me if anything happens,” he instructed while Cindy gave a simple nod.Getting to the door, he stretched out his hand to open it when Cindy stopped him. “I don’t know your name, mister. ““Mind telling me?”He stopped, turned and came face with her smiley pretty face. After staring at her for a while, he answered with his eyes narrowed slightly, “sure. My name is Richard miss.”Cindy smiled and stretched her hand for a handshake. “I’m Cindy. Call me Cindy and not miss.”Richard chuckled slightly and took her hand, “alright. You have a sweet name, Cindy.” To which Cindy smiled sweetly.Staring at her face, she looked really pretty and innocent and a complicated feeling welled

    A black Benz raced down the road and behind the wheel was Andrew looking lost and abandoned. But at the same time, he sincerely hoped his assumptions were wrong and Sarah is still the innocent pretty girl he is in love with. It took him four minutes to drive to the café on the next road and once he got there, he drove in and parked his car properly before immediately getting down. After ensuring the doors were locked, Andrew walked into the café where he was ushered to a designated spot. As he approached the table, he spotted her. There she was, sitting and facing the table, her back to him. Her blonde hair is something he could never mistake for anything and even just staring at her from behind, he could already sense the familiarity. He could recognize her anytime, any day and even in the dark. He knew her like the back of his hand. That is the woman he is in love with; Sarah Matthew. Andrew paused and stood on the spot and just staring at her from the distance brought tears to

    It wasn’t snowy but the mist around made it seem like it would snow soon. Then there was a sudden breeze that began to blow and Daisy had to run into the house.“Dad,” she called out as she rushed into the house. “Dad, it’s going to snow? You didn’t leave anything out there right?”She didn’t get any reply after calling unto her dad and her brows furrowed in surprise at that. ‘He was right in the suiting room before I left,’ she thought to herself as she fully stepped into the already dark house.The wind was blowing heavily now and the cloud had now turned dark.Daisy shut the entrance door before using her hand to trace the wall. But then, she was shocked at the surrounding she met with when the lights finally came on. After staring deep and hard for a while, she finally remembered she is at Rose’.“Oh I’m still at Rose,” she muttered to herself before walking further into the living room. But then, she suddenly paused and froze on the spot. She wasn’t the one that put on that light

Besides it's me, Richard," he stated stretching his neck to peep at Daisy behind her father who in turn looked back at him in shock.

    Edward went on pumping in and out of her mouth roughly deep-throating her, his hand gripping tightly unto her hair like he would pull out her hair from her scalp. But Cindy seemed to be enjoying sucking him more than the pain she was feeling in her scalp.What's more, Edward seemed to be driven by so much lust that it was beginning to mix with his anger and frustration.Edward suddenly stopped, then bending slightly, he pulled down her gown exposing her fair fine boobs in her sexy lingerie. He wasted no time in taking them off so he could finally stare at them.Her nipples were pink, hard and pointy causing Edward to groan. So, he lowered himself till he was kneeling in front of her too, and then he stared down at her boobs.His hands went up to her chest before he cupped them, grabbing them and using his thumb to trace her nipples."Your nipples get to me all the time. They're sexy and on point," Edward muttered huskily

    After giving out that order, Wesley sat relaxed in his seat while he scrolled through Cindy's profile on his phone. But he was soon bored out and even the look on his phone showed he wasn't interested in what he was checking at all.It definitely would have been a different case if it was Daisy's."She loves clubbing, night outs...," Wesley was reading but then he skimped through a few lines."When she was young, she went to..."Still, he scoffed irritably.'I'm not reading this.'All he wanted to know was if she ever had any interest in agricultural-related stuff.The Croxxed X member of earlier had said she doesn't, but he still needs to see if she had some tell signs of interest maybe when she was younger.'Do I have to check this myself?'Following that, Wesley looked up towards Andrew's direction."I'm forwarding a mail to you Andrew.

    The office had soon become a chamber of stillness and for the time being, it seemed as if both Wesley and Andrew were lost in their thoughts.Yeah, that actually was it as the Croxxed X team who had come in to report had left. Now the weight of the new information they had just learned beared down.Wesley's hand reached for his phone on the table before him and his slender fingers wrapped around it to pick it up. He wanted to check and probably delve into the depths of the email the Croxxed X team had sent regarding Cindy Auston.Not like he is in any way interested in any aspect of her life, but he needs to learn a few things during this investigation in which his main aim aside from rescuing Sarah and dealing with the prime minister is helping out Daisy Louis; the woman who had unknowingly caught his attention and even he is still in denial of.After all, he isn't one to first be interested in a woman.Now Daisy is also part of why

    The three left the restaurant back to Finn's media since Daisy had to get her car from where she parked it.After bidding Cindy goodbye, Ellen drove Daisy out of the place and back to the hospital. Even on their way back, Daisy was beginning to feel moody.'Going back to that ward again just feels like something I don't want to ever do again in my life. Can't wait to be discharged,' she sighed.She will be discharged soon anyway.Back at Finn's Media, after greeting a few staff and co-actors, Cindy left the place to take a drive around town. She needed to think, and then clear her head.With her hands on her steering wheel, she articulately maneuvered her vehicle through the roads and streets."If I'm going to gain the favour of the Lady from the Coasters, then I'll have to stop being bitchy towards Ellen. Ellen seems to be of greater importance as it is right now," Cindy muttered, talking to herself

    "Is Ellen there with you?"Is Ellen there with you? Is Ellen there with you?'''Those words kept ringing repeatedly in her head as if her head had suddenly hit a nut.'Wait what?!''What Ellen?'"Ma'am? You said what?" Cindy was slightly in a daze."I asked if Ellen is there with, Daisy Louis' exclusive nurse," the woman's eerie voice stated through the phone. She even sounded a bit upset. Like, 'How am I using such a dumb person as this...?'Now, Cindy's eyes were wide open she almost forgot where she was, but in the meantime, she quickly walked over to the side of the restaurant."Ye... ye... yes... yes!" Cindy answered, visibly shocked to her bones."She's from me," the lady began and this time, Cindy's eyes were as wide as soccers."I wasn't going to tell you initially but you guys would have to work together, and I don't want you displaying your sick and foolish attitudes. So yes, Ellen is from me."Cindy huffed. She almost seemed disorientated.Now she had so many questions to a

    "What?" Cindy eyed her."Oh I said you do what I want," Ellen smiled.Cindy was at a loss for what to say. First, since she has not actually been at the hospital to visit Daisy, she does not know Ellen. However, along their way here, Daisy introduced Ellen to Cindy as her exclusive nurse and new friend."I'll do what you say?" Cindy scoffed. "Like you're what?""Like I'm someone who knows a little secret you definitely don't want Daisy to know about," Ellen replied feeling smug."First, tell me what evidence you have about the incident. A video?" Cindy scoffed irritably."Daisy and I have been best friends for more than three years now. And you think you can come from nowhere to spill a bunch of trash to her and she will just believe you?""Babe, you've got no evidence to back up your claim!" Cindy laughed while Ellen just stared on with a smirk."All I have to do is tell her you are lying. Babe, she would effortlessly believe you just want to ruin our friendship and relationship. Who

Director Carlson had got to her and he had a worried and concerned expression."What's going on Cindy? Are you okay?" He asked seeing the tense look and expression on her face.With a shiver, Cindy suddenly got back herself so she took back at director Carlson and forced out a smile."Ha yes. I'm so sorry. Let's get back to the shoot," she stated. And despite how she was trying to regain her composure, she still had a panicked expression.What's more, she kept on glancing in Daisy's direction from time to time.Noticing this, director Carlson followed her gaze and his eyes rested on the vehicle a distance away.He was especially
