He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy
He may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea
In Aurora's Condo Unit.Aurora Gustavo, the desperate and only daughter of Mr. Richie Gustavo, the Chairman of Richie Dynamic Conglomerates, and Kelvin Wilson's girlfriend. Kelvin was the future Chief Executive Officer of the Wilson Group of Companies. He paid her an unexpected visit to surprise her for their third anniversary, and he slowly opened her door. However, he stopped suddenly when he heard Aurora “It is true, Dad. If I'm not mistaken, the company would be passed officially to him in the coming year.”“Is that a fact?”“Yes, Father.”“Go on. I like to hear that.” “Okay. Then, I will ensure that our wedding will come next.”“That's my girl,” her father praised, and she laughed triumphantly before she continued, “You are right, Dad. We will finally take over his company, and save our company before it goes bankrupt.”Instantly, Kelvin's heart skipped a beat and bled. He was transfixed by what he heard and looked at the beautiful bouquet, and the jewelry set in his hand. Then
At The Family House – The Dinner Table:It was 7:00 PM and for over nine hours, Kelvin was crying and never had his lunch. Meanwhile, his family was waiting for him. After waiting for him to show up for dinner, and he did not, Charlotte, his mother faced Ramon, Kelvin's eighteen years little brother, and asked, “Why is Kelvin not here?” Mr. Ben Wilson, the Chairman of the Wilson Group of Companies, and Kelvin's dad, responded, “I wondered, too. Let us wait for a while. He will join us soon.”They chatted until 7:25 PM, and the couple was worried, and could not wait anymore. Then, his father called out to Gil Broughton, the Janitor, “Gil.”“Yes, Mr. Wilson,” he responded and appeared.“Get Kelvin. Let him know that we are waiting, and he should not keep us waiting for too long.” “I got it, Mr. Wilson,” Gil accepted, and took a step, but Ramon intercepted him, “Never mind, Mr. Broughton. I will get him.”Gil stopped suddenly and faced Mr. Wilson for his approval, and the couple looked
Meanwhile, Kelvin left without responding to her apologies because he considered her a mannerless child. Aurora felt the same way about him too. She glared at him, and Mr. Napoleon noticed it and called her to the present.“Young lady, speak with me. What assistance do you want from me?”Aurora recalled herself, and spoke, “Thank you, Sir. I have searched for any book on war and conflict management, but I can't find any.”“War?” Mr. Napoleon asked in astonishment.“Yes Sir. My lecturer gave me an assignment.”“ I see. If you don't mind, may I hear the question?”“The question is – How can you Maintain Peace Between two Waring Nations?”“I see. The only book on war is off the shelf. You have to be patient for the student to return it.”“Oh! My goodness. I need to submit this assignment at 8 AM tomorrow.”“Wow! That is unfortunate. This is 7 PM and the Library will close at 8 PM.”“Only an hour left,” she murmured. Howbeit, It was obvious that she was distressed, and the Librarian was to
Two Years Later – At Kelvin's officeNow, he was the Chief Executive Officer, just as Aurora predicted. That day, he was in his office with his frightened secretary, Miss Corine McDonald, who had suffered the brunt of his hatred for women since he fell out with Aurora. She was standing in front of him, and as usual, he was furious, and she explained, “I apologize, Mr. Wilson. I didn't mean to mess things up for …”Instantly, Kelvin interrupted her angrily, “Enough of your despicable excuses,” and she stuttered, “M-Mr….”Without giving her the chance to explain, Kelvin ordered, “Pack your things up and leave, my office, now, and don't ever come back here.”“Please, Mr. Wilson.”“I can't continue to deal with an idiot and a destroyer like you.”“Kindly hear me out, Mr. Wilson. It is not as bad as you think. I promise that it won't happen again.”Kelvin gave her a look of pure hate, and blurted out, “Did you say that it is not as bad as I think? Answer me. When did you begin to educate me
