" I said, I will take you home and stop picking a fight over nothing," Ricardo said to her as he tried to hold her hand but she withdrew it. Gwen could tell who always drives as if he was being chased by a ghost. It's none other than David. David walked to them and put his both hands in his trouser pocket. He wasn't smiling as his gaze fell on Gwen. " Why haven't you gone home? I just left your house now. Do you have to work this hard every day? " David said nonchalantly. " I forgot something in my office so I needed to come back for it " Gwen lied. She began to roll her eyeballs. " You don't have to cover up for your boss, I can't believe he is this heartless. How can he subject a lady to work so hard? '' David lashed out. It was late so he couldn't see the faces of the guys who were next to her. Barry was about to pee on his pants because he could see the smoke coming out of his boss's nostrils. " I have told you to resign, I don't know what you are still doing here. Let's go
Gwen took a deep breath as she held her mother's hand with a sad expression on her face. She knows that her mum won't like what she is about to say but she wouldn't change her mind. " I want us to move out of here, where your husband won't be able to find us," Gwen said but her looks could tell that she was lying. " I'm your mum and I can tell that you are not telling the truth. Why are we leaving this apartment? " Gwen's mum replied with a concerned expression. " I will resign from my job tomorrow and I don't want any of my co-workers to know where I stay. That's the truth and I'm not lying, I want my privacy " Gwen replied. She pouted her mouth like a spoiled child. Mrs Bautista raised her hand and hit Gwen at her back. Gwen let out a scream and stood up from where she was sitting. " Why did you hit me? I've told you to stop using force on me " Gwen said with teary eyes. " I didn't raise you to be a coward who runs away from her problems. Are you having issues with someone in
" Why isn't she in her office? Where did she go? Ricardo questions them. They were all afraid to speak. Bianca walked boldly to Ricardo as she wrapped her hands around her chest. " She finally remembered where she belonged and she knew that she wasn't fit to be here so she did the needful " Bianca replied with a grin on her face." Scott and Barry, are you ready to speak or you've found yourselves another job? " Ricardo said, totally ignoring Bianca. Bianca clenched her fist angrily. Scott handed the resignation letter to Ricardo " Sir, she quit her position " Scott said and Ricardo collected the letter. He went through it and indeed it's a resignation letter. " Why didn't you stop her? Why didn't you tell her not to leave until I arrived at my office? Is this what I paid you for? " Ricardo yelled angrily as he tore the letter and flew it away. " Sir, we tried but she has made up her mind, there was nothing we could do " Barry tried to defend everyone and they all nodded at what h
" Was it an offense to love her? I must find Gwen, I don't care how I will do it but I will find her and I will make sure you all lose your jobs " Ricardo threatened Scott. " You are behaving like Arya, right now. Get hold of yourself and go home so that you won't make a fuss here " Scott said as she pushed Ricardo out of his office. Ricardo entered his car and zoomed off to his hotel. He felt like everything had fallen apart and he was left with nothing else. Leo walked in and saw Ricardo drinking at the reception, Leo could tell that Ricsrdo was depressed so he walked up to him. Ricardo saw Leo and kept his gaze on him like a stray cat looking for whom to go home with. Ricardo took a deep breath and looked down. " Why are you looking so miserable? You own this hotel, how can you sit out here and drink yourself to a stupor? " Leo said with a fake smile on his face. " I just want to sit out here for a while, what are you doing here? " Ricardo asked him as he emptied another cup.
" Gwenevere " Bianca said as she bit her tongue. " What will she possibly gain from it? I mean, she is the most adored in the company " Bianca's father said, trying to understand more on what his daughter is saying. " She resigned days ago and I think she fought with Ricardo before leaving the company. I must track her down " Bianca said and left in anger, leaving her father who stood like a confused moron. …………………Ricardo, Scott, and Barry got to the hotel and they summoned all the workers including the receptionist. All of them began to tremble in fear, the news was everywhere but they were afraid because none of them could tell why he came unannounced." Get me the CCTV footage and bring my system here " Ricardo instructed the receptionist on duty and he rushed to the ICT room. " Before we get the evidence we are looking for, indicate to yourself if you have a hand in any of these messes on social media," Scott said with a strong expression that scared all of them. They though
" Let me have your phone. It seems you are not ready to talk " Ricardo collected the phone and saw the top search on social media. #Ricardo'dismissal…..Headline…." Ricardo sued all the companies and reporters who leaked his pictures on social media "Ricardo went down to the comments " How could he do such a thing? Does he think he can bully others because he is wealthy? "" I support his dismissal, if I'm opportune to see him, I will stone him to death " " I heard his elder brother is a demolition because they refused to acknowledge him as the first son of Lorenzo "" What a confused family! Haha haha " Ricardo couldn't go through the comment anymore, his phone began to buzz and he answered the call. " Hello, uncle " " Ricardo, I'm ashamed of being your uncle. The meeting for your dismissal will be held in three days. Come to Lorenzo's group tomorrow morning " His uncle ended the call after passing on the information. Ricardo took a deep breath and gazed at his mum " Mum, I d
" You don't need to ask, I'm here. '' A voice was heard and the door opened as everyone turned in the direction. Ricardo couldn't believe who just entered. " You? " Ricardo was forced to stand up " Yes, me. Why are you so surprised, I'm the eldest son of my father and I should take after my father. It's legal, right? " Leo asked as he giggled and walked into the meeting hall. " I thought you promised to support me? What exactly is going on here? " Ricardo asked no one in particular. Leo walked up to him and held his tie " I'm your elder brother and I'm always a step ahead of you. I don't know who took those pictures but they did well " He said and pushed Ricardo aside. Barry was about to give Leo the beating of his life but Ricardo held his hand. Anger enveloped Barry the more and if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold back again so he left the meeting hall angrily. " Why didn't you allow him to hit me? Don't pretend that you love me, we all know that you don't " L
For a moment Gwen didn't know how to react, she drifted backward and covered her mouth with her palms to avoid screaming. " Kathy!!! " Gwen screamed as she jumped on Kathryn. Kathryn held her tight and turned her around. " Gwenevere, I've missed you so much " Kathryn as she dropped Gwen to stand on her feet. Gwen became sober as she stared at Kathryn. " Why didn't you call me for decades? I tried reaching you countless times, but I couldn't. Why did you decide to keep me in the dark? " Gwen questioned Kathryn with pouty lips. Kathryn wrapped her hands around Gwen and leaned into her. " You don't know how hard it has been for me, I thought I wouldn't survive it " " What happened? " " I lost my phone and needed to buy another one and it took me so long for me to register the phone. I'm sorry my love " Kathryn pleaded with tears in her eyes. " I'm so happy that you are here, I have a lot to tell you, " Gwen said as she held Kathryn's hand. " A lot can wait but my body aches for
