IT WAS MONDAY.Rose was driving back to City S. “Back to hell”, she thought with a hiss.Seeking Steve's help proved futile, rather it increased her problem. “Whoever bought Mr George shares didn't want anyone finding out his identity or did he really leave a puzzle for her to solve”, Rose wondered. “Why did the alibi sound oddly familiar?”.Rose shook her head, “she should forget about it, she had more pressing matters to think about”, she thought scrunching her face.IN CITY S, AT FASTTECH LIMITEDRose entered the company with a serious expression on her face, as she headed to the elevator. The workers greeted her with a bow as she passed by, which she totally ignored. Getting into the elevator, pressing the floor to her office. Rose took in deep breaths, preparing herself for what was to come.The elevator stopped, making a ding sound, the doors slid open. Rose walked out, expecting to see Nathaniel with an angry look outside her office but was surprised to find the guard pacing
Stacy had the urge to roll her eyes at her boss' sudden outburst. “The guard had first reported the issue to me, so I had decided to look into it this morning, but he was still adamant on telling you……worst idea”, Stacy continued, saying the last part in a whisper. “And just like he had said, the elevator was working but no one stepped in or out”. “Did you check the CCTV footage well”, Rose emphasized. This was bad, if news got out someone broke into the company. She was doomed, the Old Man would never trust her to leave the company in her hands. Rose cursed, slamming her palm on the desk, causing Stacy to flinch. “No, she had to deal with this matter carefully and make sure no one finds out. First thing first, she had to make sure the guard won't go blabbing about the incident”, she thought. “Yes I did, it didn't look like the scenes were cut or maybe whoever sneaked into the company were good at covering their tracks”, Stacy answered. Rose glared at Stacy, causing the latter to
AT DONOVAN'S CAR ENTERPRISE, IN THE CAVE.Charles, Kate, Gracie and Alexander, stood round a table. They were meant to be discussing their plans on finding out the culprit behind Kate's accident, but it didn't look like anything could be discussed.The air was tense making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Alexander and Gracie, stared between Charles and Kate, the two people who were the cause of it.Kate had an indifferent look on her face, staring at the blueprints while Charles had an icy look on his face, scaring anyone with just a glance.The tense air between them was evident, as neither of them spoke nor glanced at the other. It was like a competition of who could avoid the other the longest.“They were fine the day before, then what happened?”, Gracie and Alexander thought confused, as they both glanced at each other, seeing if one of them had an answer to their unspoken question.Alexander stared at his best friend, he had never seen Charles looking so scary especially when Taylo
“What did Alex tell you?”, Charles asked, irritated.The person burst out laughing seeing as what he heard was true, if not why would his friend get irritated.“Vincy”, Charles growled.“Calm down man, no need to growl at me. I just heard you've finally met your match”, Vincent teased again. Vincent was Charles and Alexander bestfriend, and was popularly called Vincy by his friends. He wasn't in the City, as he had left for a medical programme in the suburbs.Charles didn't like the way his best friend was teasing him. “He was attracted to Taylor and nothing else then why were they making it seem he was head over heels in love with her '', he thought, his forehead creased.“What was her name again….yes Taylor”, Vincent said pretending not to know Kate's name.Charles couldn't help frowning, “how much had Alex told Vincy, to call Taylor's name casually like they were friends”.“So tell me man, is she beautiful with curves. Damn! I'm sure she is, c'mon Charlie tell me, why are you bein
Kate sat at the driver's seat, her hands tapping the steering wheel, her mind deep in thought. “Was she doing the right thing by avoiding Charles”, she wondered, a conflicted look on her face. The pained look on Charles' face flashed in her mind, remembering how she rejected him. She didn't do anything wrong, she was just trying to protect herself. Charles was engaged, she getting into a relationship with him, will be a scandalous affair, neither did she want any more drama in her life. Dealing with Rose, Kyle and Andrew too was enough for her, she didn't want to include Charles to her list. Kate signed, her life had just been one big roller coaster since she arrived at City S. She looked out the window, she missed her old life, there was no worry, or stress just she and her family, and Rose but it all changed in one night. Kate fought the urge to cry, she still had nightmares about that night, wishing it never happened but it did. Her lines of thought were distracted when
“She could break off his engagement with Rose, so they can be together”. The thought made him grin, he was tempted to voice it out but knew it would earn him a disapproving sign from Vincent.“So what do you suggest I do?” Charles asked, rubbing his forehead.“Talk to her”, Vincent answered.“You can't be serious”, Charles hissed arrogantly. Taylor rejected him again, there was no way he was going to talk to her first.“If there was anyone that was gonna start the talking then it's Taylor”, he concluded in his mind“Still arrogant as ever”, Vincent thought with an eye roll.“This time you've got to put your pride down and talk to her man”, Vincent urged.Charles creased his forehead. “ Let down his pride, never!” He thought. “She rejected him, why should he be the one to talk to her”, he grumbled.“You want Taylor don't you?” Vincent added, sensing his friend didn't want to listen to him.“Of course I do”, Charles answered immediately.“That can only happen if you talk to her. Give he
Iris didn't miss the sudden change in Ariana's mood. “Her phone couldn't possibly be the cause of it, could it?”, She wondered.And this was why, models weren't allowed to have their phones or have any connection with the outside world until they were done with their work. So has to avoid any distractions which could influence their performance during work.Iris was Ariana's manager, she had decided to give Ariana her phone as the latter had been working really hard and was currently on a short break.She didn't expect giving Ariana her phone would cause her to want to go home. “This was bad”, Iris thought.“I'm asking you something Iris” Ariana shouted, frowning. There was nothing sweet about her voice now.“Calm down Ariana”, Iris coaxed, cautiously approaching Ariana, seeing as the latter wasn't calm.“How could she possibly stay calm?”, Ariana thought, not wanting to believe what she had just read was true.“Take deep breaths”, Iris instructed and Ariana followed suit.“The thing
“First of, I'd like to say congratulations in signing the contract with us' “, Kate started, mirth dancing in her eyes. “Sure”, Rose said, through gritted teeth. “About the contract some changes will have to be made to it”. “What do you mean…changes?”, Rose asked, raising her eyebrow. “The contract will be for a period of 5 months and not 6”, Kate continued. “And why's that?” Rose demanded, trying to stay calm. “As you know Miss Andino, this contract was supposed to be signed weeks ago but due to an unpleasant incident it didn't”, Kate explained, stressing on the words unpleasant incident. “This month is about to end, and TAC Limited won't take responsibility for your action of not signing the contract when it was due. So yes, the contract will be decreased to a period of 5 months”, she added, with a shrug at the end. Rose stared at Kate tongue-tied, as she couldn't come up with a proper comeback and could only nod her head with a forced smile. “Sure, I understand”, Rose nod
