"I am very sorry Megan. I tried to take charge of this one but the woman is very stubborn. She demanded that you must attend to her or else she is not going to do any work with anyone else. According to what she said, she went to Leonardo's housewarming party and she was very impressed with your work." Julie was saying. "I really tried to persuade her and make her choose another designer but she stubbornly refused. She is a tough one.""I understand you. Some clients can be very tough and there is nothing we can do except to agree to their wishes if it is agreeable. I am glad that you called me. There is no need for you to be worried about me.""What are you saying? How can you say that there is no need for me to be worried about you? You have a lot going on already from your wedding preparations to your health and you expect me to not be worried about you? You hurt my feelings Megan and I am not happy."She entered into her car. "Alright, I am very sorry for hurting you. I did not me
Julie's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?""Yeah." "I did not expect her to be such an organized woman," Julie noted."According to what she said, her husband cheated on her with so many women so she divorced him and collected most of his property and wealth. She bought a new house near this place and she wants to decorate it the opposite of how her former house was. She seemed so angry at her ex-husband.""Quite a ruthless woman isn't she?""She knew me. She also knew about my upcoming wedding to Leo. I know that everyone knows about my engagement to Leo, no one knows when we are getting married. She knew and I don't think I know her. She does not seem familiar to me.""That is strange? Maybe she knows someone close to you."Her widened a bit. "I just remembered, she said that she knew Leo's mother. Maybe that is how she was able to know about the wedding." Megan shuddered when she remembered the story that Leo's mother told her about the woman whose husband had died. "Why does sh
They were shaking in fear, except for one. A brunette who was probably in her late thirties. Megan walked closer to them and read the ID that was hanging on their neck. The woman in her late thirties name was Mary, she recognized her, she had been working in the company for quite some time. She was the person who was defending her. The tallest among them was Tina, the one who had a personal beef with her that she was not aware of, neither has she met. And the last one, the shortest among them was Sabrina. She was the one that was neither hot nor cold, she hated her but she was also rational at the same time and has not completely lost her senses.She drew back and straightened her shoulder, she held her head high so that she would intimidate them the more. It seems like they love it when rich people turn bad and she will show them bad. "Now, I want you to repeat all that you said to my face starting from the beginning. Especially you, Tina." Megan said."We are extremely sorry. We did
The door to the office bathroom opened and Julie stepped inside. "I was beginning to wonder that something has happened to you." She said then glanced around when she noticed the tension in the room. "What is going on?" She asked."This never happened." She said coldly. "Do you hear me?" "Yes." They all replied at the same time."Now leave." She barked and they all rushed out.Immediately the door to the bathroom closed Julie asked in confusion. "Did they do something, Megan?" Megan turned to Julie and stared at her for a long time then she turned around and left the bathroom and headed to her office, she heard the heavy clacking of heels indicating that Julie was following her."Why are you ignoring me, Megan? What the hell happened back there?" She asked in total confusion.Megan reached her office and entered inside, she swung around to face Julie which made her abruptly pause in her tracks."You really want to know what those women did? I will ask you first. Why didn't you tell
"Now wipe those tears off, crybaby." Julie teased. Megan drew back from Julie with a disbelief expression. "What! I am not a crybaby!" She denied. "What the hell do you mean by that?""Yes, you are." She said."No. I am not." Megan said shaking her head."Yes. You ar..." A knock sounded on the door, interrupting their childish banter."Who is there?" Julie asked."It's Willow. I am back from the message you sent me and I wanted to tell you that I left the report on your desk." She said. Julie turned to Megan. "She is the new employee that you said I should hire to help me with my work." She whispered. "Oh. Let her in. I have not met her properly." She said. She wanted to meet this new employee but she has not had the time and her mind has been recently occupied. She has seen her picture but she has not really seen her in real life."Come in," Julie said then straightened her posture. The door opened and a young woman stepped into the office. She was in her early twenties, she wore
How did he manage to get the contract? That will only mean one thing. He somehow got into her house. This is bad. If he has it, he won't hesitate to use it against her and she certainly did not want the whole world to know that she and Leo's relationship started out as a deal and even though she told them that they had fallen in love, no one would believe her. Why did this have to happen, now of all times? The worst thing is that she cannot report it to the police, that would be like she was setting up a bomb to explode in her face.The phone rang and she flinched, she realized that she was standing there staring into nothing. She looked at the caller and it was the same unknown number that sent her the message. She picked it up and placed it in her ear."How do you like my little gift?" Brandon asked. "It was nice, wasn't it? I bet you were surprised with how I got it."Megan glanced at Julie and she was staring at her, she moved away from her and the car so that she wouldn't hear wh
"I think we should enter the car. There are a lot of people around." Julie said glancing at the workers that were leaving work. Megan looked around and truly, someone could overhear their discussion and that could be worse. "Ok." They both entered Megan's car."Now, you can continue.""I know it is trouble, that is why I am panicking. If the public finds out about that contract and the deal that me and Leo made then I think I am finished. My father does not even know about the true relationship between me and Leo. He thinks that we met normally and he will be so devastated when he finds out that I deceived him. I don't want him to know and I don't want Leo to suffer anything concerning Brandon." She cried out. She was really frustrated with the way Brandon could not seem to leave her so that she could live her life in peace. He should go and live his life and not disturb her.After all, he cheated on her, she was not the one who cheated on him. If anyone was to behave in the same way
The house was a total mess. It was scattered almost beyond repair; vases were broken, an overturned lamp lay on the floor, its shade askew, and the bulb shattered. The artworks that were hung on her wall were all on the floor, either torn or broken. As she and Julie made their way further into the house, broken glasses scrunched under her feet. Her fashion magazines were strewn haphazardly across the couch cushions, some crumpled beyond recognition. Megan paused and took a look around her whole house. Her former treasure. How could Brandon do this to her? Her television did not go free, it was broken with something that seemed like a baseball bat. "Oh gosh." She fell to the sofa in a crumpled heap. "I can't believe this." Megan whimpered. "Me neither," Julie whispered. "What is the point of doing all of this? He could have just come and taken what he wanted instead of destroying the whole place. It was simply not necessary. Do you have an idea of how he got into your house?" She ask
