" Are you okay?" Ryan asked in a hush tone which made her shiver. " I...am okay" she managed to say and just then the music ended and she took that opportunity to slid away from his hold. " Mr Ryan!" A man called and they both turned to see two men in black suits each of them holding thier dates. " Mr Clark, Mr Henry, am so glad to run into you two tonight" Ryan said with a smile and they Shaked hands laughing. Emily watched for a moment, feeling like an outsider in the conversation. She whis
Episode 56 Alex's Place Alex tapped her feet anxiously as she looked at her phone screen, her eyes scanning the list of trending topics. She was afraid Sophia had carried out her threat of exposing her to the public and now, she was terrified that her name would suddenly appear on the list, her reputation ruined forever. She bit her nails, her mind racing with worst case scenarios. " That bitch.." she cursed silently as she remembered Sophia words at the station yesterday. ' I asked you to send me a lawyer not send yourself' ' if you don't get me out of here then I'll expose all your dirty little Secrets to the public so that everyone will see just how bitchy you really are, be warned Alex!'

Don't be so naive, even if the case have been solved it doesn't change the fact that Ryan took on a risky decision all because of you" pat said coming closer to her " my uncle got furious with his behavior and is now sending him away!" She half yelled, tears already welling up in her eyes. Emily Shaked her head slowly before looking at her " can't you stop him? Am sure he won't go if he doesn't want to..." " You think we haven't tried that" pat cut her off " my aunt and I have tried to convince him but he won't budge and do you know why?" She asked but Emily just stared at her." Because he's broken Emily, Tyler told me about you two....look am not forcing you to love my cousin since love can't be forced but at the same time, what you're doing to him is so unfair
Episode 54************* The guy took a deep breath. "Well, I thought you were among those women who came to him a few days ago, and that's why I ran away." He explainedLandon's eyes narrowed. "What women?" He scratched his head. "A few days ago, my brother suddenly paid a huge sum of money for our dad's medical bills, but when I asked him how he got it, he didn't tell me. Then I saw him talking to two women in front of the hospital, and they looked suspicious."Emily's eyes narrowed. "Do you recognize them?"The guy shook his head. "I can only remember one since I saw her face clearly, but the other one had big, dark shades on and had her back facing me, so I couldn't see her face properly." He answered but before she could ask another question her phone rang."Hello, Vera...""Emily, we found the culprit," Vera said over the line, her voice excited.Emily's eyes widened. "Really? How? When?""Today. You remember I was doing a vlog that day, right? Well, turns out I had left

His words were like a balm to her soul, soothing her hurts and making her feel seen and heard.She looked up at Ryan again, her eyes searching his face for any sign of insincerity. But all she saw was genuine emotion, a deep and abiding love that seemed to shine from his very pores.Emily's heart skipped a beat as she felt her defenses begin to crumble. She had thought she was immune to Ryan's charms, but now she wasn't so sure."Boss...I" she whispered, her voice barely audible." Don't you have any feelings for me at all?..." He asked cutting her off guard again with those piercing deep blue eyes of his that seemed to see through her. " I can always wait for you" he added, his voice low and husky.Emily took deep breath before replying " Boss...am sorry but I don't have any feelings for you and I never will, please don't wait for me" she said and with that Walked out on him.
Episode 52 Ryan's place * ... even I can see how much he loves you, so why can't you?* Tyler's words played in her head as she stood in front of Ryan's door unsure of what to do once she steps inside. " Okay... just, be yourself" she muttered before opening the door thanks to the spare key Tyler had given her earlier. Emily entered the house and was immediately hit with a strong smell of wine. " Gosh, he has been drinking again" she squeezed her face when her eyes landed on the empty bottles of wine on the table. " Maybe I shouldn't be here" she turned to leave but Ryan came downstairs that moment. " Emily?" Her heart skipped a beat as she turned to face Ryan. He looked disheveled, his hair messy and his eyes bloodshot. The smell of wine emanated from him, and Emily's concern grew."Boss" she muttered trying to keep her tone neutral.Ryan's

Ryan got mad on the phone and said he would come in the morning.**********" Mum" Ryan called as he stepped into the house and Mrs maria turned. " Ryan?...what are you" she paused " did pat call you?" She asked raising an eyebrow." That's not the issue here...why do you want to meet with my PA?"" Well I want to know what she did to make my son Lose his senses to give up such an important position in the company!" She snapped but Ryan rolled his eyes. " If this is about the company then talk to me not her" he said and she blinked in surprise." Just who on earth is she that's making you like this huh?" " It's non of your

You don't have to do that Ryan" "This issue doesn't concern you" " Yes Ryan please reconsider your decision "Alex stared at Ryan anxiously as the board members tried convincing him but knowing Ryan, he would never go back on his word unless a miracle happens." Don't do this Ryan" she begged then her gaze fell on Emily and she glared at her with pure hatred. " Why are you trying to defend someone like her!... she's just a no body! So why..."" Enough!"

Episode 49 Ethan Place Patricia was helping Ethan dress his wound after driving him to his house. Though it was a slight cut on his arm, maybe from when he tried dodging the knife. Pat was cleaning the wound carefully and gently, trying her best not to hurt him further. She was also trying not to cry as she sniffed occasionally. Ethan couldn't help but stare at her in awe. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I...I'm not," she answered, her voice shaky. "But you are," he scoffed. "Stop crying already, it doesn't even hurt much," he said, looking away. "Ah!" he shouted when Pat pressed down the bandage. "Why are you shouting? I thought you said it didn't hurt," she spoke innocently, not looking at him. Ethan gasped in shock. "I'll go get more bandages," she said, leaving the room. Just then, he heard a buzzed sound and picked up the phone. "Oh, it's hers," he said, making to drop it back but saw a message: "_How was our acting? Not bad, huh? Send us our balance now._" His brows

Even though he is a playboy he doesn't joke when it came to business. He finished and was about entering his car when he spotted someone familiar. " Patricia?..." He muttered staring at her. She was across the street so she didn't see him." What's she doing here" he wondered but then Shaked his head " it's none of my business" he got into his car to start the engine but stopped. He saw two strange guys following Patricia and he knew she was in trouble.
