“Don’t be stupid! I helped you out already!! What else do you want?” Peace asked.
“But Isaac wants to meet you in person, only then he will take the decision,”
She made an ugly expression.
“I have a board meeting tomorrow! I can’t just leave it and join you!” Peace replied.
“If you don’t come! he will never do as we want,” Ada was holding onto Peace’s leg.
“This is why I told you not to get into this messy matter,” She huffed in anger.
“Okay! Give me his phone number, I will talk to him.” Peace gave Ada her phone so she could add his contact to her phone.
“You are the best,” Ada took her phone and sat on the couch beside her.
Within a few moments, she came back and handed over the phone to Peace.
“Here!. She stood right beside her, not budging.
“I took the phone, now you can leave,” Peace gestured to her to leave so she could work with peace.
“Aren't you going to give him a call?” Ada asked.
Peace placed the phone on the desk beside her laptop and looked away.
“Let me dial the number for you,”
“You aren’t going to let me work, are you?” Peace spoke in a tired tone.
“Please!!” Ada replied.
“Okay! Get out and I will call him,” Peace gave her a condition.
Ada’s expression formed into a sad one and she muttered. “ Can’t I just stay? I promise I won’t speak!”
“I will count to three, if I see you—“ Peace was still talking when Ada ran out of her room and stopped beside her door. “Okay! I will get out but please deal with the issue for me,” And then she swung the door. Peace stared at the closed door with a deep gaze.
“Sigh! Why of all people?” Peace dejectedly shook her head and looked down at the contact name. “Issac 2”
She pressed the call button and took the phone to her ear and waited for the person on the other odds to pick up the call.
“Who is this?” A chilly voice spoke from the other side. Peace rubbed her arm as she felt a sudden gust of cold wind against her arms, which made her look around, towards the window that was open.
“It’s me, the person you owe a thousand dollars to,” she got up from the chair and walked over to the window.
“Hah! You couldn’t resist after all.” Isaac was currently sitting in his bed flipping the pages of the file that she had presented them.
“Get to the point, why do you want to meet me?” She asked.
“Hm—that’s a great question,” he had seriousness filled in as he read through the lines. “It seems like you did a good job in such a short time. I see potential,” he spoke still with a formal tone.
“I said get to the point,” Peace replied plainly.
“Miss— I didn’t get your name, but that’s fine we can talk about that later but right now I have an offer to make—“ he was going to utter something great but Peace’s eyes suddenly knitted as she had seen something displeasing to her eyes.
“Work for me,”
“Isaac! No!” Peace shouted at Isaac as he was about to bite Alex for the second time. The phone slipped out of her hand and she stormed out of the room into the garden, while Isaac sat petrified on the other side of the phone. He had suddenly paused when he heard his name being called out loud in such a voice. His expressions went blank and he breathed heavily as he rubbed his chest with discomfort.
“Wh-why did you call my name like that?” He shuttered but there was no response from the other side.
“Hello!” Nobody spoke, Isaac pulled away from the phone from his ear and stared at the screen.
“Isaac! Don’t! Why are you hurting him again?” She was breathless when she reached the garden.
“Finally! You saw him in action,” Alex breathed out while Isaac looked at Peace with innocent eyes.
“Why did you do that?” She asked.
“Oo—owoo-“
‘He started it,’
Isaac replied.
“Sigh! Can you both for once not fight with each other? It’s tiring,” Peace sat on the grass and hung her head low. Isaac looked at her with worry and crawled into her lap. Alex too felt like they had fought enough so he too walked up to Peace.
“What is it? Why are you so tired?” He asked while approaching her.
“You should know it more than anyone!! I am stuck between my work and the work I have been dragged into because of you,” she replied, Her eyes suddenly widened and she muttered. “Oh no! I hung up on Isaac because of this!! Agh!!” Peace pulled out her hair when she reaLized that she had left the other Issac hanging.
“Aooo-woo,”
‘You look mad,’
“Yes, I am mad Isaac! I am really mad! And if I see anyone causing any kind of ruckus again, I will make sure to punish you all very harshly,” Peace got up and walked back to her room, where she saw her phone resting on the floor facing the floor.
She picked it up and stared at the screen for a few seconds before calling back.
This time it took a while for him to pick up, and the first thing Peace did was to apologize.
“I am sorry, Mr. Mendoza! Something came up so I had to deal with it instantly,” she spoke, trying hard to fix her breathless voice.
“So I was saying—I would like to offer you a job and—“
“I will pass,” Peace rejected him instantly.
“Huh? You didn’t even hear me out,” Isaac was left baffled at the instant response.
“I already have a job and I would most definitely like to keep it, so please don’t play some silly games with Charlotte and sign that damn file!” Peace was slowly losing her cool.
“Hah! What if I continue playing them?” He asked in a mocking tone.
“I don’t think you can do that! You are already on the losing side because the decision is in your mother’s hand and she has already chosen Charlotte, so I suggest we stop wasting everyone’s time and do what will benefit both sides.”
“...” Isaac didn’t respond as he felt an odd kind of feeling inside of him, he sensed that the person on the other side of the phone wasn’t someone simple, because the way she spoke wasn’t that of an idle taker, she knew what she was doing. Isaac felt a sudden hostile emotion surging up from his heart.
“Who? Who are you?” He asked,
“I know you very well! Too well—that’s all you have to know. If you have nothing else to say then, Goodbye,” Peace took away the phone from her ear.
“Sigh! Why is this so draining?” Peace’s voice broke, as she breathed out.

Peace didn’t get much sleep as she was nervous about the board meeting. Her eyes were slightly sunken and dark circles had appeared under her eyes. She got off her bed and went to freshen up. It took her a few minutes before she walked out with water dripping off her face. She saw Ada sitting on her bed.“What happened?” Peace asked while drying her face with the towel she had in her hand.“Don’t do it like that. How can you deal with your face so roughly, it will fall off,” Ada pulled the towel off her hand.“What?!” She asked.“This is a body towel you can’t use it on your face,”“Isn't the face part of the body?” Peace asked while lifting a

Bring me the yearly report of all the projects that are currently ongoing, bring me every single bit of information,” Peace spoke with a clear voice.“Right aw

Isaac walked up the stairs to his office when he was stopped by Ada in the way.“I heard you agreed,” said Ada, with a huge smile on her face.“Hm…” he gave a nod and started walking again.

I don’t have time to talk about something like that,” he stopped and spoke, “let’s limit our meeting and concentrate on what’s important,”“But—““Jeremy, take her back to her home, I am busy.” He spoke to Jermy and walked away.

Alex hadn’t noticed that, as he looked around at Peace and found her fast asleep, he pressed his lips together and then unfastened his seatbelt. He sat back and rested his head on the headrest. Peace’s eyes were closed. Alex glanced in her direction and stared at her with a shattered look in his eyes.“Sigh!” Alex looked away. He gave out a tired groan. His eyes glimpsed the bandage on Peace’s foot. His eyes boiled up with a hostile emotion and he harshly smacked the steering wheel.Peace jolted and opened her eyes quickly.

“How dare she?!”The files that were previously laying on Isaac’s table landed on the floor when he pushed them away in anger.His tie was dangling down loosely. While a few shirt buttons were unbuttoned roughly, making the rise and fall of his chest prominent. His forehead was knitted into a dispelling expression. His ego was hurt, it was the first time someone had walked over him like that.“I will make you pay for it,” Isaac spoke while grinding his teeth. His eyes flashed towards his cell phone on the table. He picked it up and dialed a number. The other side picked up the phone quite quickly.

A frown was the only expression on Issac’s face at the time he entered the club. LEft and right he saw women with shiny outfits and heavy makeup. It was very unlikely for him to be at such places but today was not an ordinary day. He looked around for the guy who had called him to pick up Peace. On his way towards the bar stand, he felt a tug on his shirt from behind. His face crumpled and he looked around in disgust, His eyes met a girl with a black revealing outfit and dark makeup, rang when. She pulled him towards her and whispered into his ear.“Looking for a partner?...”Issac’s legs acted reflexively and he pulled himself away from the woman while pushing her in the other direction. HE hurriedly dusted off his shirt and frowned. “Don’t touch me!”HE

The lights were dazzling and the music was loud. At the edge of the crowd, On a bar chair sat Peace with a drunk expression. A wine glass twirling between her fingers as she swayed around dizzily. The bartender was looking at her with a worried look, she was not in her senses. Peace gulped in the one in a go and shouted.“One more!” She giggled after shouting.“Miss, you are drunk, You should stop drinking and go home” He spoke with concern.“I don’t want to! get me another drink.”He frowned a little, but he was helpless, so he started making her another drink.“Hah! Nobody loves me!! I am pathetic!” Peace twirled around in the bar chair and sung in a

Eric’s plane had landed a while ago and Issac was looking out for him, And out of nowhere, there was a pat on his shoulder.Soft brown hair and calm green eyes greeted Issac when he looked around. A guy in his baggy hoodie smiled at him weakly. Issac’s face lit up and he chuckled lightly. “Have you starved yourself after your breakup?” HE pulled him into a hug while sarcastically joking about his condition.“I have! But now that I am back I will have your portion as well.” Eric replied in his warm voice. “Now help me with the lug

Ada sat in the leather office chair and tapped on the glass table with her long nails. While her eyes closely examine the face of the guy sitting in the seat in front of her. He was the uncle of Charlotte and the current chairman of her company. A refined old man with only a few white hairs brushed up in a sophisticated manner giving him an aesthetic look.“You have grown so much...Charlotte.”“I had no other option than to grow up,” Ada replied sarcastically and picked up the glass ball from the table.“Your aunt missed you very much, Why don’t you go meet her.” Agon smiled at her.“What a pity, I didn’t miss her at all…” Ada placed her arms on the table and looked directly into Agon’s eyes. “Uncle!

Issac was poking his food at the dining table, His head was filled with boiling thoughts, So much had happened in a single day. Everything seemed like a dream to him. Mia who was staring at him from the corner of her eyes couldn’t help but notice that he was out of his usual self.“What happened? Was everything okay at the office?” Mia waited for an answer but Issac didn’t hear her voice. “Issac?!” She called out.“Huh?’ He turned his head towards Mia and blinked blankly. “Did you say something?” He asked.“I asked, '' Was everything okay at work?

The temperature of the room had fallen a few degrees, Everyone except for Issac was standing and was trembling. Issac’s hand was on his forehead as he looked at the papers in his hands. The veins on his forehead were almost popping out from anger and his eyes had sunken.“How did this happen?” Asked Issac in a cold and sharp tone, Many sucked in the air and averted their gaze because they had no idea of what had happened. Jermy, who was standing beside Issac’s table, was the only one who looked oddly calm.“YOu bought the stocks on a whim, it has nothing to do with them.” HE spoke up. Issac’s eyebrow lifted and he looked at Jeremy with a deadly gaze.“Get out all of you!” he was speechless and knew that if he hadn’t acted on his impulses he would have
