"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.

Mr Smith was taken aback by Mr Lucky's question as he had not expected him to be so direct about it. "Are you?" Me lucky asked again, his brows rose up slightly in a questioning manner. "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. Mr Smith thought back to the time Mr lucky had asked him why he chose Victoria as a part of the programming team. "Where are you drivi

As he took a closer look at her, he saw tears in her eyes and his heart clenched. What happened to her? He thought to himself as he diverted his attention back to Mr Smith. "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? Leave this instance before I call the guards on you," Rebecca warned but Elixir could care less. Nobody was going to stop her from saying what she had in mind today and she doesn't care about the consequences. She refused to lose to Victoria and so she will drag Victoria to the mud.

"This girl here name Victoria is nothing but a slut because she's fucking your boss Mathew Jason Smith!" She made sure to call Mr Smith by his full

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
