While cleaning his hands, Zion urged his secretary. “This won’t do! I can’t sit and wait around any longer. We have to take Yoel Fabian down as soon as possible. He’s acting strange recently and I suspect that this is one of his tricks.”The secretary recalled what he witnessed earlier and said, “Please be rest assured.”“Okay, thank you for your effort,” Zion added, “the best plan would be to have him get thrown into jail and for him to get a life sentence. If not, our plan might be affected.”Paige decided to make a call to Estelle during lunchtime. After several lessons, Paige concluded that it was not a suitable time for Estelle to answer a call at night and the love birds might have been all over each other during that time. If she were to carelessly call Estelle again, she risked offending Skyler instead. It was not appropriate to call Estelle in the morning as she needed to rest longer as she was pregnant. After rounds of careful thinking, Paige decided that lunch was the b
Paige replied to Estelle while recalling Zion’s recent reaction toward her attacks. She then heard Estelle advising her gently, “It’s good then. In any case, be extra cautious when you’re around him. If he gets provoked, he might come after you with no mercy.”Upon hearing that, Paige felt a sense of relief. She joked playfully, “Estelle, why are you exaggerating? I think that -”Before Paige could finish her sentence, there was a loud commotion coming from outside her office. An unfamiliar man entered the staff’s office and asked, “Where’s Yoel Fabian?”Most of the staff members were startled as they saw the man dressed in a police uniform and had a police badge with him. Neither of them dared to say anything as they were worried about the consequences. Paige thought that the debt collectors turned up at the office and she quickly locked the door to her office before leaning closely toward the door to listen to the conversation. She then said to Estelle who was on the other end o
“Director Fabian, I really can’t bear to watch this go on anymore,” Zion looked at her with a calm expression on her face as he went out regretfully, “the day has eyes and the night has ears, what’s done at night will appear in the day. I won’t regret this.”Paige looked at him confused as she wondered if it was the consequence that she had to bear after playing with fire. She felt unsettled seeing how Zion was pretentious. So, she returned Zion a favor by continuing with his act. “Hold up, Zion, you should at least have some conscience. When have I ever wronged you? You shouldn’t set me up just because you couldn’t get your hands on the Remington Group!”Paige did her best to put on an act as if she was indeed wronged by Zion, but Zion too refused to back down as he went on, “Director Fabian, since I’ve already made up my mind to uphold justice even at the sacrifice of my closest ones, I won’t regret this one bit. You should come clean once and for all.”The police officer added, “
Zion was caught off guard by Paige’s accuse and nearly lost his composure. Under the heated stare of the officer, Zion stared directly at Yoel and replied, “Director Fabian, how do you expect me to know something that you don’t know?” Zion thought to himself that if Paige could act dumb, he could do the same as well. Zion kept having the feeling that Yoel acted strange, it was as if he completely changed into another person. From what Zion remembered about Yoel, he was someone who would do more harm than good. Plus, he was also lewd and enjoyed fooling around women. Thanks to his rather good looks and wealthy background, he had several women hanging around him. Even though those ladies left Yoel after his disappearance, and even took away the expensive gifts that they received from Yoel, Zion still felt that the situation was somewhat icky. Would a man change his sexual preferences just because he got betrayed by a woman?Zion studied Yoel intensely as if he was about to shoot
Recalling how Yoel flirted with him, Zion turned the tables around and carried out his vengeance. If he was not at the police station, he would have burst into laughter. Seeing how Zion was indeed getting back at her for what she did to him earlier, Paige walked up to him anxiously and was about to reach out for Zion’s hands. However, before she could even touch him, Zion quickly pulled his hands away from Paige.With a look full of disgust, Zion rejected her outrightly. “I’m sorry, Director Fabian. I’m not on a charity duty, it’s not my job to take pity on anyone that I come across.”Zion then left the interrogation room and got into his car. He then said to his secretary who waited in the car, “You’ve done a great job. There is something strange about Yoel right now. If we let him go free, I’m sure a problem will soon arise.”Seeing how Zion rubbed the back of his hands frantically, the secretary handed him a packet of antibacterial wet wipes. Without even looking, Zion received
“Yes, Director Flynn,” Vincent winked at Paige to encourage her before leaving the interrogation room with the police officer. On the other hand, Skyler and Paige walked out of the police station and when they got to the car park, Paige could not hold her emotions back and nearly burst into tears. Skyler came to a stop right away and said to her, “How’d you end up in the station? You got Estelle so worried, plus you know she’s pregnant… There, there, stop crying now. Get your stuff and let’s go home.”“Director Flynn, I’m not crying because I’m sad. These are tears of gratitude,” Paige wiped away her tears and with her red-rimmed eyes, sobbed and continue to explain, “if you didn’t bail me out, I would’ve been left with only two choices - either I come clean that I’m not Yoel Fabian or my identity would be exposed while I’m at the detention center.”Neither of the options seemed optimistic and led to the same ending. No matter which option she chose, it defeated all of her previ
The Flynns and the Johnsons shared quite a close relationship, hence Skyler knew how tough it was for Zion to make a place for himself within the Johnsons’ clan. Through the information he gathered about Zion, Skyler could not help but respect Zion as he knew that Zion was not someone to be underestimated. Paige was confused. “But in terms of our capability, Zion’s far ahead of me, and all the staff in the company choose to listen to him rather than to me. Even if I want to have a fair and square battle with him, I don’t have the capability for that.”Paige learned her lesson from underestimating her rival. Hence that time, she needed to be extra careful with her plans. “It’s good that you’re aware of this. Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the way to win the battle.” Leaning onto his car while staring into the sky, Skyler advised Paige as her employer. He then told Paige everything he gathered on Zion and concluded, “He’s much smarter than you think.”Judging by the situ
“Yes, sir.” Only then did Vincent stop going up against Paige, and the bickering between the both finally died down. Feeling pleased that someone had her back, Paige asked Skyler, “Oh, Director Flynn, how’s Estelle doing these days? I’ve been in contact with her but I haven’t got the chance to visit her in person. I don’t know if she’s doing well. I heard that the first couple of months during pregnancy can be quite uncomfortable.”She only knew about the pregnancy through movies and literature work. Though Paige knew that mothers were selfless, she was clueless as to what pain a mother had to go through during pregnancy. Upon the mention of Estelle, Skyler’s lips tugged into a wider smile and his gaze softened as well. “Stellie’s doing great. Perhaps because she had experience, so this pregnancy seems to be easier on her, and her appetite’s good too.”Paige smiled brightly and said, “That’s good then. I’ll visit her once I’m done with matters here. If I could come up with a solu
