"I hate you so much Victoria!" She spat out in anger.Yesterday she had made up her mind to act good and cool about everything with the aim to take revenge on Victoria. She had decided that she would hurt Victoria the same way Victoria did to her and make her pay for all she had done to her.She blamed Victoria for all that had happened to her and for hurting her emotions and so she decided to be the very best friend Victoria wanted and silently deal with her.When Victoria had suggested that she introduced her to Mr Smith.

"I already told you there is nothing to talk about." She replied to him dismissively but he wasn't going to let her do that."Babe, are we doing this right now? I mean we are supposed to talk about everything but something is bothering you and you don't want to share? What actually happened when you found out that I knew Elizabeth?" He questioned her."It's really nothing." She denied again earning a scowl from Mr Smith in return."Fine." She sighed deeply. "I already told you the reason. Elizabeth respects you a lot and from the way she described you, I thought the both of you liked each other and when I found out you were the one she was referring to, I got worried.

"Tomorrow is Monday." Victoria whispered to Mr Smith. "Yes, tomorrow is Monday but that won't stop me from holding you in my arms." He tells her."You do know we have to keep our relationship a secret right? I mean from everyone in the office?" Victoria tells him and in return Mr Smith brows raised in a questioning manner."Why is that so?" He asked her.She creased her brows. "Are you asking me? I mean do you think anyone would find it comfortable that I am dating my boss? What do you think people will say? I mean I wasn't even your girlfriend before and I got a lot of hate so imagine actually being your girlfriend?" She clarified for him but he didn't understand her reason."I do not remember having a rule that states no relationship at work and besides why should relationships be the people's problem? I mean I like you and you like me and we are together so what has the people got to do with it?" He questioned.She face palmed herself. "Are you seriously asking me this question? I

"Mrs Sinclair? Isn't she married?" Victoria asked Rebecca who sat down beside her.It was their lunch break and they had entered the same restaurant Mr Smith was having his business meeting. "Yes she is but her husband is old and grey so he doesn't do anything. She handles his business and he lets her." Rebecca informed her.Victoria's jaw dropped. "You mean this beautiful young woman I'm seeing is married to a man of ninety two? Doesn't he have any kids?" Victoria asked Rebecca.Rebecca clicked her tongue. "Yes he does have kids and he is married to her. But everyone knows she got married to him for his money. I mean she isn't up to age thirty yet, do you know that?" Rebecca brows raised up slightly."Oh my goodness. I'm shocked. So she handles his business, what about his children and what do they do?" Victoria asked frantically."Well it's easy.

"Come, let's talk in the car. Someone might recognise me." Mr Smith tells Victoria and she complied as she followed him to the car without uttering any words.

He began as he stretched forward to hold her hands but she pulled her hands back as she folded it across her chest instead.Mr Smith sighed at her attitude but he continued. "I saw your text but was not in a good position to reply to it. I'm sorry." He said.Hearing him say sorry melted her heart. She had not thought about it from his perspective but hearing him talk about the reason for him not replying to her message, she felt bad."Well that's fine. I'm actually sorry too. I was being irrational." She apologized too."So that was it?" Mr Smith chuckled lightly."I didn't reply to your messages on time and so your reacted this much? I would never ignore your message anymore for too long." He tells h

"I want us to meet," Victoria replied. "Meet? Why would I want to meet someone like you? You are literally not worth my time and I do not want to waste any time with you. I'd obviously be foolish to create time for someone as worthless as you," Elizabeth spat out. "I am only asking if we meet. It's nothing serious. I need us to talk," Victoria spoke, trying to keep her temper at bay. She didn't want Elizabeth to suddenly end the call while she was talking.

"She's my girlfriend," he answered. He didn't want to say yes to Mr Lucky's question and male it seem like Victoria wasn't important to him and he was using her to pass time. "You are not surprised?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky as he noticed Mr lucky had not reacted as he imagined. "Yes. It's surprising right?" Mr Lucky asked and Mr Smith hummed. "Why is that so?" Mr Smith asked, wanting to know. "Well, it's easy. You remember what you told me when I asked you why?" Mr Lucky asked.

"It seems we have got very unprofessional programmers in this company and I think it's time we remove them and recruit new ones," Mr Lucky said the moment he sat down on the chair. Rebecca played with her fingers whole avoiding contact with Mr Smith. Flora and Maryanne were ready to defend their cause as they believed they only did what was right. "What happened?" Mr Smith asked Mr lucky frantically. "I do not know what happened but these programmers are now children and have decided to engage I'm fist fights and pulling each other's hair," Mr Lucky spoke sternly.

A scowl formed on Rebecca's face immediately. She thought to herself what Elizabeth had in mind and why she was creating a scene. "You all want to know the truth right and then I shall tell you," Elizabeth said. Rebecca got up from her seat and in anger she walked towards Elizabeth. "You are not allowed here and who are you?

Mr Smith shook his head in disbelief. Elizabeth's attitude had changed all of a sudden once he asked if she would take the opportunity to be his girlfriend. The same girl that had acted as if she loved her best friend could suddenly care less about her and it baffled him. "So you would date me now if I asked you to?" Mr Smith asked and she nodded her head. "Of course. I mean..." She shrugged. Mr Smith got up from his chair, having heard enough from her. He didn't want to stay in the same place as her or have any conversation with her anymore. "Are you leaving?" Elizabeth asked as Mt Smith got up on his feet. "This conversation is over," he said sternly, surprising her by his action. "Over?" Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was he talking about and why did his attitude suddenly change? She thought to herself. "Yes Elizabeth. I do not want to ever speak to you again. I hope this is the last time we ever speak to one another again," he tells her in a stern manner. Elizabeth got up f

'Let meet up.' Elizabeth read the message sent to her by Mr Smith out loud. A frantic expression formed on her face. They had no plans to meet today so why was he suddenly expecting them to meet. She quickly typed her reply. 'Sure.' Not too long Mr Smith sent the address to her and she texted a reply that she would be meeting him when she closes from work. "It's done," Mr Smith said to Victoria. "So she'd be coming to meet you then. I'm nervous," Victoria sighed. Mr Smith rubbed her shoulder that was exposed softly. "You don't have to be. Things will work out fine," he assured her. She heaved a deep breath. "The truth is, I really want to make things right with her. I want to put friendship back. I miss her so much but I fear that it would never be the same," Victoria tells him. "It will be fine. I will just talk to her as we planned and clarify the whole situation and then you guys will be good again," he tells her but she has doubts. The Elizabeth that spoke to her the night she lef

That was all Victoria needed to hear. To know that her man doesn't see her as a mad woman was enough for her."Babe, come on. Tell me already. What happened between the both of you. What's going on because I do not want to be lost in all of this. Weren't you guys best friends? What happened and why does she have to say you have mental issues?" He inquired.Victoria opened her mouth to say something but she closed it back. How does she start? She thought to herself."Elizabeth and I are childhood friends, not just friends but best friends. We grew up together, went to the same high school and same college and graduated the same year. To be honest the problem between us is still baffling me.""If someone had told me that my best friend and I would no longer share the same close bond with one another again, I would have doubted. I would have fought that person because it was impossible for Elizabeth and I to stay away from each other. We were more than friends but sisters.""Our relation
