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 LIMITED

Rose 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

    “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.

    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.

    “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.

She and some others had been waiting patiently for their turn; there were still 10 people to Catherine's turn. Catherine was about to give up, she was really tired and hungry, and the interview of the woman who had just entered was taking longer than expected. Remembering how much she really needed the job she decided to wait some more. Finally the woman stepped out, making everyone let out a sign of relief but was shocked to see their employer right behind her. “Thank you everyone for coming today, but your presence won't be needed anymore you may all go home now”, the man announced, gesturing at them to leave. They all stood up, staring at each other dumbfounded, the confused look on their faces not missed. “Go home, but they haven't been interviewed yet!??” Were the thoughts on their mind. The man hissed annoyed, seeing as they sto

    At Charles penthouse Charles stared at his injured palm now wrapped in a bandage. Fred had come over to help clean it up. Running his hand through his hair. Had he read the signs wrongly? Taylor didn't love him like he thought . “He would have accepted it, if it was any other guy but it had to be Kyle”. The world had to be playing some cruel game with him. First Kate and now Taylor. His phone rang, disrupting his thoughts. He eagerly took his phone, a frown appearing on his face seeing it wasn't her – Taylor – placing his phone at his ear. “What now?” He hissed. “Woah dude! Woke up on the wrong side of the bed I see” the other person chuckled. “I don't have all day Vincy”, he hissed again. He knew he was behaving like an ass, a big jerk, but that's what happens when Taylor makes him mad. “Just wanted to remind you, I'm coming home next week, permanently “, Vincent said, ignoring his friend's cocky attitude. “And!?”. “You're picking me up from the airport.

    Rose eyed Catherine, sitting across from her, making the other weary. “Is there a problem ma?” Catherine asked, seeing as Rose hadn't said a word since she called for her. Rose kept staring at her, her gaze particularly on the two diamond cluster earrings which hung on Catherine's ear. “Why did she lie?” Was the thought on Rose's mind. “Or was she telling the truth?”. “After going through the CCTV footage for the past 2 hours - majorly skipping some parts - she found something interesting”. “Catherine had been to her office last week, when she went out, it was the day Kyle had walked in on her”. She had watched Catherine drop the file, accidentally knocking the stapler over, then bending down to pick it, nothing strange there, except it took her 5 minutes to pick up a stapler - a whole 5 minutes. She didn't miss the way Catherine stood rigid after she stood up, with the stapler in her hand, like someone caught doing something wrong, when Kyle had entered her office. “

    At FastTech Limited, Everyone was seated around a conference table. Old Man Andino sat at the head chair, on his left was his secretary when he was the CEO and beside the man was Nathaniel, while on his right was an empty seat, and beside the seat was Rose, as the shareholders and the heads of departments filled the rest of the seats. It was the seasonal meeting held mid month of the start of a new season between the shareholders, and heads of department. Everyone was present, except one person, the seat beside Rose, at Old Man Andino right was empty. Rose wondered who the person was for the Old Man to wait patiently and make every other person wait as well. She had heard the person was going to be the new CFO, and was once an employer, and someone close to the Old Man – courtesy of her gossiping workers. 30 mins later and still no sign of their newcomer. Rose glanced at the wall clock, an annoyed expression on her face. It was time for the meeting to start but the Old Man wasn't

    Kate rushed over to him worriedly, about to grab his bleeding hands which had shreds of glass in it. He held out his other hand stopping her. She stared at him confused, turning to an angered expression, was he really going to act stubborn now. She stared at his injured hand again, blood dripping onto the tiles. “Don't be stubborn Charles, you are badly injured”, she argued. “You don't want to go to the hospital, no problem, at least let me take a look at it”, she coaxed. She groaned frustratedly, seeing as Charles wasn't listening to her. “What was wrong with him, didn't he feel hurt”. Charles raised his head to stare at her, an unreadable expression on his face, his eyes cold and lifeless. Kate felt chills run down her spine at his stare, noticing something was amiss about him. “Charles”, she called out softly. “You're hurt”, she continued, trying to touch him again but he stepped back, leaving her hand floating in mid-air. Kate felt a pang in her chest at Charles' ac

    "Accept who? back!” Kate thought with an incredulous look. “Yes, he really loves you can’t you see that”, another supported. “Girl, you're lucky to have him as your boyfriend. Just forgive him and get back together already”, “Who said anything about them ever dating?” Kate thought lost for words. Soon the crowd began to chant. “Take him back!”, howling and clapping in excitement. She turned to face Kyle, his arm holding out the bouquet to her already, a pleading look on his face but she didn't miss the mischievous glint in his eyes and slight smirk on his face. He would surely get an oscar for his acting skills, his plan had work. She took the bouquet from him with her free hand, plastering a fake smile on her face. “Fine I forgive you but don't ever do that again”. “Kyle was so desperate to worm his way into Taylor's life, fine. He won't be the same or look at any other woman by the time she is done with him. Taylor will do the one thing Kate couldn't do, “make Kyle fall in

    The lush green leaves on trees were starting to turn yellow, it was autumn already. The chilly air of September replaced the cool breeze of spring, light clothes and sandals were replaced with thick woolen coats and boots to protect themselves from the harsh wind. Kate couldn't believe it. She had spent 2 months in City S, a month working at Donovan’s, and it was almost a week since Rose’s and Kyle’s scandal, things had been quiet since then. Charles had been away from the office since the day of the scandal being released. Jack had informed her that his boss had gone out for a very important work and he wasn't sure when he would be back. How could he leave without saying goodbye, she thought angrily when Jack had told her, but with each passing day her anger had only reduced to worry. She had tried calling him, but it only said the same thing over and over again – the number you're trying to dial is not rechargeable. In the meantime, she buried herself in work, things at the And

    "___Infact she was the perfect wife in my parents eyes, my dad even loved her more than he loved me, his own son”, he snarled, anger in his tone.Yes, she could imagine. Kyle's parents loved her very much especially Mr Bruce who praised her anytime FastTech Limited had a profit, saying she would make a good wife and also grow their business – the Bruce’s – once she got married to Kyle.“No father would be proud to have an irresponsible son like Kyle who only spent his money on girls and parties, and didn’t take the family business seriously’.“How the hell had she fallen in love with him. Kyle was definitely not her type”. As black dark orbs flashed in her head, she shook her head, “no Kate you can't be thinking about him now”.“I had to get her back for my parents sake and my sake as well. Once my parents find out I was single again they'll make me go on blind dates with their stupid rich friends' daughters. Kate would continue to be my perfect girlfriend, while I go on with my busin

    She looked around the floor, rooms were arranged on both the left and right side, separated with tinted glasses, having 2 booths inside each room. She bet whoever was inside could clearly see outside.She entered the first room on the right, directly facing the dance floor as it looked empty, walking over to the booth on the right side, where she could see the dance floor clearly below her.She had just taken 5 steps towards it when she turned to the left, spotting a familiar figure, lying lazily on the cushioned booth, a wine glass in his hand“Not him”. She hissed annoyed, turning to leave, taking hurried steps towards the exit, when he noticed her.“Beauty!?”.“Shit”, Kate cursed under her breath, stopping in her tracks. “She just had to meet Kyle in the same club! She had decided to celebrate her victory against him”. She slowly turned to face him.A grin formed on his face seeing he guessed right. “I knew it was you. What are you doing here, at a club__”, he paused, to take in he

    Charles stared at his grandpa. He hadn't wanted to say anything because the others were there but now that they were alone in his grandpa's room, it took all his willpower to stop the foul words that threatened to come out of his mouth.One of them included a big Fuck!!!.“Do you plan on staring at me all day or will you talk?” Ryn asked his grandson, “We can talk about your upcoming wedding if you want, I know it's still months away, but the earlier the better don't you think”.Now the F word was just inches away from slipping out of his mouth before he forced it back.“Why did you do that?” Charles asked, surpassing his anger.“Do what?” Ryn stared at his grandson, feigning ignorance.“Haha! Very funny Grandpa”, he said sarcastically.“Fine you caught your old man”, Ryn said in surrender.“After what she did, you were meant to call off the engagement but you didn't”, Charles stated, saying what everyone had expected Old Man Donovan to do.“What she did was…”, Ryn paused.“Utterly di
