With a smirk plastered on her face, Erica turned her attention on Danica–The truth is, she had been waiting for her to say something for the longest time.“Are you suggesting, I stay out of this cacophony and allow you to bully an innocent person?”. Her voice was low and calm, but the meaning hidden in her words sent several shivers down the spine of Danica, as she moved backward with her lips trembling vigorously.“What do you mean? Are you trying to say that we are the ones bullying her now? and not she stealing from others?”.“If I were you, I wouldn't say, she stole from others since there is no evidence to prove that she did steal anything. However, I can't say the same for others”.Danica felt shaken after she heard these words. does this woman know so much? was she aware of the reason for ruckus just now?.“Mrs. Downey. I'm sorry to have interfered in your matters like that, but I couldn't stand by and watch my assistant getting humiliated for doing nothing at all. Hope you'll
The entire place became noisy as the people kept whispering to themselves.However, Erica wore an indifferent expression as if she had nothing that deserves praise; her shoulder pads were high and she stood with her head held high.While they were still contemplating who she was, they heard a skeptical voice of a young woman shouted from behind.“Mrs. Downey, Y-Your necklace has been found lying on the floor”.The voice sounded like it was scared of getting berated for saying the wrong thing. However, when the people heard her voice, another round of murmuring was ensured, and the entire hall was thrown into a tantrum.After a while, when the noise finally died down, Erica smirked. Then, She raised her brows and said, “Mrs. Downey if there's nothing else to say, I would like to go back to the event. After all, this is not the reason why we are here”.Marianne, who had a stunned expression on her face quickly regained her composure, but her face was still flushed with embarrassment as
Shocked!Danica was shocked for a couple of seconds as her head was left hanging in the air after hearing what the young woman had said to her. It's a good thing Erica's voice was lowered, so other people didn't hear what she said.She couldn't understand how this woman who she has never met before could come to know about her most pressing need?how did she come to know about this? Only mom and I know about this matter.After hesitating for a couple of minutes, Danica smiled faintly before taking the business card from her hand. “Miss Quest, we should get going now. The event is still on”.After saying the word, Bethany snuck herself out of the crowd, meandering after Erica.Meanwhile, Zayn just arrived at the event hall when his gaze fell on a group of people causing a cacophony some distance away from where he was.He was reluctant about checking out what was happening, however, when his eyes fell on the figure of the young woman who he had recognized as the woman who saved him, h
The banquet of tonight was a combination of the public warfare donation and also a birthday party for Mr. Downey. Although, not many people knew about his birthday. However, Bethany has made her research, so she was one of the few people that knew this.“Thank you, Miss Burnett. You shouldn't have taken up the troubles. Coming over to see me in such a short time was a bigger gift”.He replied while taking the gift from her. Immediately, he began to unwrap the package of the gift right in front of her.After unwrapping the gift, he had a smile on his face.“How did you come to know that I love this art piece so much? Are you a magician?”.He asked with his eyes glistening with joy.“You might as well say so”.Erica replied.“Zayn, I can't help you with the matter you said before as I'm no longer agile to do such works at my age”.After pitting down the gifts, he looked up at Zayn, who was sitting aside silently. They have been discussing a certain issue earlier, but have to leave it i
Bethany turned around with her arm circled her chest.“The goal is not to prove her wrong in front of others just yet, why should we be in a hurry when we can enjoy the show at a better place and time? It won't be any fun rushing up a tasty meal, would it?”.Bethany turned her gaze toward Erica with a smirk I'm her face.Erica nodded her head aggressively before letting out a laugh.“I think this calls for a celebration, Bethany. I'll go he the drinks”.With that, Erica dashed over to the refrigerator to get the drinks while Bethany walked silently to the balcony and stood there with her hands on the railings.She gazed at the sky wearing a gloomy expression–Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, anger, and endless expressions that were hard to explain.The look on her face suggested that she was happy, however, her heart says otherwise as she didn't seem to have enough reason to be happy –At least not until she was done with her mission.While she was lost in thought, Erica cane aroun
Danica arrived home in high as well as low spirit today, however, after giving it a few thoughts she decided to well up on the news than dwell on the bad ones.Arriving home she was not as grumpy as usual, so the maid was surprised to see her in this state. They quickly dispersed to a corner after seeing her coming into the living room.Danica didn't bother to spend much time in the living room as went upstairs, directly to her room. While she was on her way to the room, she met Samantha on the way, she was coming out of Jordan's room–room–It seems as though she had just finished tucking the little boy to bed.Upon seeing her, Danica rolled her eyes and proceeded to open the door to her room. Nonetheless, Samantha spoke, bringing her to a halt in her tracks.“You seemed happy today, what are the special effects, Danica. Did Zayn......”.“Not now, mom. I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going off to bed. see you tomorrow”She replied sounding like she was in a haste. Samantha just watc
She stepped out of the car and hailed down a cab to go to the Blue Ridge company after sending Jenna back.Immediately, she arrived at the company, she took out a name card from her bag as she stood outside of the company's building. she called the number on the name card.Soon enough, the call was connected, a man's cold voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Who is it?”Bethany wore a frown hearing his cold question. However, she felt somehow hearing this. So she swallowed hard and said.“ Mr. Meyer, I am Bethany Quest. I called to inform you that I have just arrived at the Blue Ridge company. I'm waiting downstairs, sir”.Zayn sighed in realization with his hand running through his head, he softened his voice and said.“Alright, please wait for a bit while I arrange for someone to come and get you” Zayn said straightforward and he immediately hung up the phone.Bethany was left speechless, but she could do nothing but put her phone away and wait for further orders fr
“Work?” Joanna squinted her eyes and didn't seem to believe the explanation she had given“You are here to work? is that what you said? why didn't Zayn send you to the human resources department first? why did he ask his special assistant to send you over to my office under his orders? Explain to me in plain detail how you got to know Zayn and don't even try to lie to me if you think of outsmarting me then you have to face the consequences, do you understand me? Wait! are you here to woo your way into his life, don't tell me you are eyeing our wealth”. She asked with doubts visible in her tone as she glared at the woman with hatred that burns like a furnace of fire.Bethany looked at her coldly, raising her brows to discontentedly.“ I don't need to explain the fact that I'm here to work to you on papers, do I, Miss Meyer? it would be great and also save both our time if you could make the arrangements now”.Joanna scoffed angrily, clutching her fists. “That is not an answer to my quest
