“Genevieve, Eve,” Noah called as he ran after her and held her arms before she could get into her car. “What do you want now, Noah?”“Wait. We have to talk.”“About what? You want to question why I did that inside and on her birthday too? Look, I have nothing to say. I have to leave.” “I'm not going to talk about that at all.”Eve rolled her eyes. If he was here to doubt her or say something offensive this time, then she isn't going to take that from him at all. “Fine then. Say what you want. I only have five minutes to spare. I have somewhere to be at.”Noah dipped his hands into his pocket. How was he going to say this? “I'm sorry, Genevieve.” Her eyes widened at this. What? He was apologizing. “What?”“I said I'm sorry.”Noah looked away in embarrassment. It wasn't his thing to apologize at all. Apologizing for something was never in his dictionary and it doesn't matter to him if he was right or wrong. Either way, he never apologized. “I'm sorry for what happened a year ago.
“I'm sure this is all Noah’s doings. Only he can get on my nerves like this. He knows exactly what he’s doing,” Genevieve said to herself as she paced around her room. She was in her blue night dress and was pacing around her room with her fingers on her mouth. She was trying to think of a proper solution to the problem at hand. All through the night, she has been unable to sleep and tossed around till daylight. How could she sleep when her company was in danger? There was no way that she was going to sleep while having trouble in her heart. The previous day’s outing with Ella was of great help to her. The karaoke, the rage room, and everything they did helped her get her mind off things and be happy. But that was just for a while because the moment she got out of there to her house, all her problems came rushing to her and she was unable to stop herself from thinking and worrying about it all through the night. It was way above her. “Gosh. Why is my life from one problem to anothe
“Hey, I saw the news. How did it happen?” “It's my fault, Liam. My Dad was disappointed.”“Sit down, let's talk about it.” Genevieve sat down in the chair astride him in the small Cafe a few blocks away from the hospital. “I need your help, Liam. The Gray Corporation is suddenly in danger. They keep creating bad news about us. I don't know what to do right now and father, he got into this because of the news.”“We'll find a solution. But who would have done this?”“Noah Hank. I'm one hundred percent sure that he did this. Only he is obsessed with bringing me down right now.”Liam frowned. “Noah Hank?”If truly it was Noah Hank who caused this as she just said, Liam wasn't sure that doing anything would be futile at this stage. From what he knows about Noah Hank. He doesn't back down and he has eyes everywhere in the country knowing everything that is going on. Noah Hank was one beast in business and knew it like the back of his palms. Bringing him down might be almost impossible.
“What’s going on? What did the doctor say about Mr Gray,” Ella asked on their way back to the Gray mansion. “This is really unbelievable, Ella. I can’t believe this.”“I’m so curious.”“Do you know that someone has been switching father’s drug for the past months now? The doctor informed me that they couldn’t find a trace of the drug they gave in my father's body. They found something else which means someone at home has been testing my patience. We have to go home right now and look for that person.”“What? Really?”“I was shocked too when I heard it from the doctor.”“What are we going to do now? How are we going to find out who it was that was exchanging the drug?”“Don’t worry, I have a plan and I swear when I find that person, he or she is going to experience living hell with me and I’m not even joking.”Finally getting to the Gray mansion, Eve stopped the car right in front of the main mansion not bothering to part rightly before cling out of the car followed by Ella. “Welcome
Hearing her yell at her to stand up, Crula immediately stood up. “Madam, you have to believe me. I know nothing about that.”“You’re still going to lie, right? I see that you would love to be one of the Gray family’s enemies.”Crula’s eyes widened. The Grays ememy? That was something no one would love to be. Being one of their enemies is like a death sentence that she would never want. She watched as her boss’s daughter walked to the chair where she once sat and took her laptop before walking back to her. “I got evidence, Crula. This.”She played the video for Crula and the rest of the servants to see and their eyes widened when they saw Crula in the footage switching the medicines while everyone was asleep. The other servants were so surprised to see the footage. They were surprised that it was Madam Crula of all people who tried to harm their boss. She was known as the best servant and loyal to the boss since she had been working there for a long while now but this they just saw
Getting back to the hospital, Eve walked straight to her father’s room. The two security guards that she had placed there bowed their heads as she walked in slowly. He was still asleep and according to the doctor, he would wake anytime soon and his brain needed rest as well. She sighed as she walked to his bedside and took a seat beside him on the bed. She was feeling so bad. Her father was lying in this damn bad with oxygen and other machines connected to him and dear lord, it was all her fault. God help her that he comes out of this. “Father,” she called and held his hand. “I'm so sorry that this happened. It's all my fault but don't you worry. I already punished the offender. Hence, I'm not going to let anyone trample on us and go Scott-free. I gave her what she deserved.” Before she knew it, tears started dripping from her eyes. She sniffled before continuing.“You shouldn't be sad after finding out who it was, Dad. You shouldn't be. I told you that people are not meant to be
“You're not going to open up?” She yelled.”Her heels tapped on the floor as she glared at him in anger. Noah was doing it on purpose. His aim was to piss her off. “Noah, I'm literally standing outside. Open this door.”“Can't you see I'm busy?”She laughed in disbelief. “And can't you see I'm waiting here?”“I didn't ask you to come, did I? We had no appointment. Meet with my secretary and schedule an appointment with me if you so much want to see me. I'm busy right now.”She laughed again. This man. He must think that she came here to chit-chat or smile with him. There is no way on earth that she is going to turn back and leave without getting what she wants. She's not leaving here until she settles scores. “No, you're not. I can see that. You were busy scrolling on your phone before I came.”He didn't reply to her. Taking things into her hands, Eve walked to the other side of the glass office so she could stand somehow close to the chair where he was sitting. She picked up both
“Eve? Eve, wait, what happened? Why are you angry?”“Let's just get the fuck out of here, Ella. Everything is fucked up.”“Oh my God.” Ella ran after her, trying to keep up with her pace. They had come here with so much confidence. “I just want to strangle someone right now. Walk fast. I don't want to be in this building for another hour.”Ella held her neck and ran after her boss. What if she tries to vent her anger on her and strangles her? She's not the cause of this. “Ughhhhhh,” Eve yelled as they finally walked out of the building to the parking lot where the driver was already waiting for them. They both got into the back seat of the car. “Tell me, Ella. What exactly should I do? What should I do to him? He pisses me a lot and I can't bear it. Should I just poison him to death and pretend I know nothing about it? Should I sneak into his house and kill him in the middle of the night? Should I burn down this damn building,” she ranted as the car started moving. “Wait! That's
