Laura paused, turned slowly, and moved towards the other end of the railing, close to Jason.

"Why do you think you hurt me in the past?" Laura asked.

"I don't know; you just seem hell bent on seeing me as an enemy," Jason replied.

"If I ever met you in the past, I think I would pretty much remember," Laura stated.

"Why, then, are you bent on keeping me as an enemy?" Jason asked, moving closer to her too.

Laura smiled. "Trust me, Jason, you are not my enemy; I just don't like your attitude," she replied.

Jason raised his brow and asked, "Do you think your attitude is worth emulating too?"

"There we go again; you hear one word of truth, and you become defensive," Laura told him.

"How? I'm not; I think you should ask yourself why you find my attitude wrong when every other person doesn't seem to have an issue with it," Jaosn replied.

"Ahh, so that's what you tell yourself, or, come to think of it, it's possible no one has the guts to tell you the truth," Laura shot at him.

    "I said I was currently making more calls to our contacts," Tim replied."No, not that, before that," Jason replied."Oh, I said she was in Los Angeles around the time Steve Anderson was there," Tim stated."There, that does not sound like a coincidence to me." Jason murmured.He sat back on his seat and thought for a minute, wondering if he was missing something. Every time he had thought there was nothing much to her, he had found layers of the unknown. He wondered if he was wrong in this instant too."Okay, continue calling, but make sure you monitor what the Whites consulting firm does, especially Laura, just in case we get something," Jason said at last."Okay, I'll do that," Tim replied."Yes, do. Also, I need you to reach out to David about that proposal; I need a reply soon," Jason said as he got ready to dive into work for the day."I would send a mail to ask how far with the review," Tim replied, adding, "Is there anything else, Master North?"Jason looked up at Tim, raised

    As Tobias rasied his b*tt to rise in recognition of Lily's announcement of making him her heir, he heard the rest of her words."My heir at the Whites year-end party in six months," Lily stated.Tobias's smile died a painful death as his lips became rigid and his b*tt slammed back down on the chair."Wow, aunt, that would be wonderful," Sandra said with a smile."Yes, of course, we have all been like children to her, so it's only natural," Tobias said with a fake chuckle."Of course, you all are like children to me, considering the fact that I do not have any children," Lily was saying, but stopped halfway."We all understand, Aunt Lily; whoever you choose, we promise to ensure your legacy is never destroyed," William interjected."Thank you, everyone. Okay, that's enough with the sad story.

    Tina looked up to see where Lily had made reference and realized it was indeed Tobias, and he was in a deep conversation with someone."I think that's Shawn North," Tina replied."Humm, Shawn North," Lily muttered as she changed her direction and started walking towards them."It's going to be great, man," Shawn said with a grin as he gripped Tobias's arm in excitement."I think I'd also like to know what exactly would be good so I can rejoice with Tobias," Lily said, stopping behind them.Tobias was a little startled but covered it with a smile."Aunt, I assumed you were staying a while before leaving," Tobias said.Lily didn't answer and only looked at Shawn, who bowed his head as he said, "Hello, Mrs. Whites.""Hello Shawn, it's a surprise to see you here. I didn't know you were the one, actually," Lily said with amusement."I had a bit of business to do around, and I just dropped by to see Tobias on my way," Shawn replied."Oh, I see; that's good to hear."

    Audrey smiled and nodded. Without saying the words, Laura knew just what she had done."How long?" Laura asked."It's been about twenty minutes," Audrey replied."Why didn't you come call me?" Laura asked, looking guilty as she picked up her laptop and walked towards the door."I did try, but you were engrossed in that file," Audrey explained."I didn't know it was already time; I didn't plan to spend so much time on that file, but it was just so amazing," Laura purred. Her excitement about the project is evident in her tone."Wow, it really must be something to have you sounding that way," Audrey noted."It is; I hope it's for a potential client so I can work on it more," Laura replied as they entered the conference room."I am so sorry, guys. Let's get right to it, shall we?" Laura announced this as she entered."Okay," they all chorused as the head of the team went to the board to begin the presentation.**********Lily sat quietly at the back of the car, thinking about the whole e

    Jason pulled out his phone for the third time since he dropped the call with Laura and noticed she had not called back yet."Such arrogance," he muttered to himself.Jason was pissed that he had tried to extend a friendly hand, but she had thrown it back at his face. She was beginning to frustrate him, and he didn't think he was going to take it any longer. He really needed her to analyze the hotel's books."Jason?" Tim called."To think that, I actually thought she was in danger or had fallen earlier," Jason scoffed, shaking his head at himself."What a fool she made of me," Jason said, through gritted teeth."Pardon? Did I do something wrong?" Tim asked, shaking his head at Jason's words."No, Tim, could you go back to the beginning? I was not really paying attention," Jason replied."Okay, so I said that your business trip is coming up, and I was wondering if you had any specific instructions regarding it," Tim explained."Oh, okay," Jason replied.Every year, Jason takes a business

    Laura sat with rapt attention as she listened to Sophie give an explanation of the climatic effect of the proposed business area on their clients businesses. "I think I do agree with you, Sophie, but here is what we should look at: irrespective of the weather, we need to have an exact percentage of how successful the business would be during good weather and also if the weather is bad," Laura explained. Ian, the team lead and project manager in the team, responded, "That should not be a problem; Ava should be able to quickly get you the numbers right now." "That would be lovely; let's have it in perspective," Laura replied. "I think the margin of difference between the business's cost and revenue is too close. The cost seems to be increasing the more they increase their production, and this isn't reflecting in the revenue being generated," Ava, another member of Laura's team, mentioned. "Yes, I believe that's because they did not put in place a price increase, despite the increase

    "Agnes, easy with that; you look like you've seen a ghost," Jerry said to her. "Agnes?" Anna Philips said, walking straight to have a seat, while Grace dropped the bag she carried and sat beside her father. "Mrs. Agnes, let me get you some water," Lucy said, dropping the bag she besides Grace's own. "Aunt Agnes?" Grace asked. Agnes took a sip of the water Lucy brought for her. She tried to arrange her expression, although she was having a bit of trouble achieving that. "Yes, Grace, and no, Jerry, I'm just surprised; she looks so grown; how did you change so much?" Agnes asked, covering up her reaction with a lie. "Well, some people try to keep in touch with their family so they don't miss out on their niece's life," Anna said with scorn behind a fake yawn. "Wow, you look different. Aunt Agnes, last time I saw you, I was so little," Grace said with a smile as she rose up to give Agnes a hug.

"Lucy, please get that package for me; it should be the delivery guy," Grace instructed as Lucy came into the living room. "Good bye, Jerry," Agnes said, heading out of the house. It took another minute before Jerry Phillips could calm himself. Lucy came back into the living room with a small package. "Please drop that in my room and get these bags to my mother," Grace told her. "Okay, Ms. Grace," Lucy replied. "I know she is your sister, but she has a way of getting on my nerve," Anna said, her eyes hard. "Mom, can you please forget all she said? She is still Dad's sister, you know," Grace said, uninterested in making any comment about what had just transpired. "Why does she see us as the bad guys? I wasn't the one who asked Laura to go get pregnant; in fact, I wanted her to have a good life, which is why I arranged her wedding with Jared," Jerry fumed, and after casting one last glan

    Shawn and Tobias looked back instantly, and the shock on their faces was so appealing that it brought a smile to Lily's face. "Laura? What are you doing here?" Tobias asked, looking shocked. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Laura said as she walked over and sat in front of them. Before they could answer, they heard a knock at the door, and Laura said, "Oh, that must be him." "Aunt, I thought you said she left," Tobias said, looking at Lily. Lily remained silent and only responded with a shrug. Laura opened the door, and Jason walked into the office, a sight that only made Tobias more scared and Shawn visibly angry. "You were saying something about my family," Laura said, addressing Shawn. "What is going on here? Why does this feel like a trap? Are you suspecting us of something?" Shawn asked, standing up suddenly. "Nobody is suspecting you of anything; we are just asking you about your last statement," Lily said, breaking her silence. "You know what? I'm leaving. I only

    As soon as they were alone, Jason turned back to Laura and said, "Let's hear it."Laura shook her head and replied, "Jason, up until this morning, I didn't have the information I have now. I was actually trying my best not to be angry at you.""Why would you be angry at me? If for anything, I should be the one pissed, because you were not picking up my calls and you left without any notice from the event that day.""I know, but if you hear me out, then maybe you will understand my reasons," Laura said, holding up her hand."Okay, you have the floor," Jason said as he took his seat a few feet away from her."I came back to town to find my mother and to find out what happened to me seven years ago," Laura said.Jason was silent as he watched her speak, his expression neutral. Laura brushed her hair behind her neck and continued to explain her mother's relationship to Lily."Suffix it to say that I found my grandmother, but I was not able to find out what happened that one night that I c

    Grace walked into Jared's office, demanding to have an audience with him."I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in now; he is not on sit," the receptionist said apologetically."I know he is in there; tell him that if he does not see me now, he won't like the next news he hears," Grace responded.Having no choice, the receptionist put a call through to Jared's office again and relayed the message.After a few minutes, she dropped the phone and said, "You can go in, ma'am.""I thought as much," Grace replied, and she walked straight to the elevator.It had been radio silence since her last confrontation with Jared, but now she was going to rain down all the anger she felt within on him."I told you not to come here, Grace," Jared said as soon as Grace walked into his office."I don't give a damn what you say any longer, Jared," Grace replied with scorn."What exactly do you want, Grace?"

    Lily was surprised to hear that, so she gripped her hand tightly and asked, "What else is there that I haven't said?"Laura shook her head and replied, "No, not you; it's from me.""Oh, what is it?" Lily asked.Laura pulled her hand from Lily's grip and brushed it through her hair as she sighed deeply."Actually, I came back to town because of two things. The first was because of the note you sent to me about my mother, and the second was because I wanted to find out what happened to me about seven years ago." Laura explained.Lily's face squeezed in confusion as she asked, "Something happened to you? What might it be?""Well, I don't know either; all I know is that I got pregnant after, and that was what resulted in my father sending me away from town," Laura replied."What?" Lily exclaimed in shock."Yes, you see, I was betrothed to Jared Tuner, but my stepsister set me up that night," Laura said, explaining what Grace had told her about the same night.There was more confusion on L

    "Jason?" Tim called, wondering what was wrong."Okay, Liam, thank you for calling me. Do you know where you stay?" Jason said this on the phone.Tim realized he was talking to Laura's son and shrugged, hoping he got the answer he was looking for."No, that's fine. How is Lisa?" Jason asked.Just like magic, the hard look on Jason's face cleared as he spoke with the children. After a few minutes, the call ended."So?" Tim asked."They are leaving in two days," Jason said."What two days?" Tim replied, surprised."Yes," Jason replied, his voice sounding dejected."Oh, oh," Tim muttered."What did Gift say?" Jason asked."Nothing, just like I told you she would," Tim replied, adding, "Don't the kids know where the house is?""They don't; I think Liam called me from the card I gave him sometimes back," Jason replied."Hmm, well, I think you have tried all that you can," Tim said encouragingly.I am really going to lose Laura, Jason thought as he sat there, staring into space.*************

    When Jason walked into the office that morning, everyone who saw him knew something was wrong."Jason, you don't look so good," Tim whispered behind him as they walked through the building lobby."You look like you did not get any sleep last night," Tim added as he noticed a few people staring at Jason."That is of less concern right now, Tim; I need you to get Gift here today," Jason replied as they boarded the elevator."Gift? You mean the same Gift Hatcher?" Tim asked."Yes, I need to ask her about Laura. She mentioned some time ago that they had been childhood friends," Jason replied.Tim shook his head, knowing that was not going to be a good idea, considering the outcome of the last meeting Gift had with Jason."I can basically feel you shaking your head from here," Jason muttered."Uhm, I just don't think Gift would be a good idea; I mean, after the last time, she would not be so keen to see you." Tim explained.Jason was at his wits end, and he was only trying to hold it all t

    Jason woke up that morning with a heavy concern in his heart. He had tossed and turned through the night.The night before, he had been stunned by Tim's statement, and for a moment, his heart had frozen."What did you just say?" He had asked."Humm, I just heard from Emily, who heard from Laura's live-in nanny that Laura is leaving town," Tim had replied carefully.Jason had sat at the back of the car, stunned by the news. He had imagined a lot of outcomes from her sudden departure from the hotel, but he had not imagined that she would leave town."When did you get this information?" Jason had asked."Uhm, just before you stepped out of your office," Tim had also replied catiously."Why isn't she telling me about leaving town? Why is she suddenly avoiding me?" Jason asked himself, feeling a sinking feeling in his belly.Now, at the dawn of a new day, Jason climbed out of bed, looking dazed as he murmured, "I never thought I would feel this way."He walked over to the balcony and stare
