"Good morning," Eva greeted them and they both responded to her greeting.

Eva looked at Angela up and down before focusing her gaze on the elevator door.

"Hey, Eva," Bernard greeted. "How are you?" he asked.

"Good," Eva replied, rolling her eyes at Bernard, who just smiled.

Eva and Bernard exited the elevator on the sixth floor and Angela continued to the eighth floor. Angela quickly got to work and after ensuring she had put everything Bryce would need for the morning on his desk, she headed for the ground floor to get something to eat and get Bryce's coffee. As soon as she got to the cafeteria, a lady approached her and roughly pulled her to the side by her arms. She recognized the person as the lady who joined them in the elevator on the fourth floor and she was the same lady who shared an office with Susan.

"I see how you dressed seductively on your second day. Bernard is my man. So stay clear of him and know your place in this office. If you want to last ten years in this company

    "Susan, do you need anything?" Bryce's voice travelled to Susan's eyes and she snapped out of the moment. Her eyes scanned the place and Angela was not there. She shifted her gaze back to Bryce and he was wiping his hand while standing close to the dining table."Erm, Mr President, I didn't know you were in," Susan said and managed a smile. "I brought the hard copy of the report on the new employees," she reported."Good," Bryce acknowledged and returned to his desk while Susan exited the office.As soon as Susan left, Angela returned to the main office from the connecting kitchen and made her way to Bryce's desk after ensuring the dining area was cleaned.

    Bernard got behind the wheel and headed for his home. Angela on the other hand stood on the bus with her gaze focused on the road. The memory of what happened to her the last time was still fresh in her mind. The bus stopped at the junction heading to the Estate and Angela got down at her junction. She walked towards the gate and was soon heading for the apartment."Welcome home Ms Angela," Josephine greeted Angela as soon as she walked through the front door, and Angela acknowledged."Is Mr Moore home?" Angela inquired."Yes, ma'am. He is inside his office," Josephine replied."Okay," Angela replied and started walking towards the staircase. In her thoughts, she wondered why Mr Moore married her. She is a wife to him but he treats her like a homeless person he found on the street and decided to shelter her. At the office, he behaves like she is just an ordinary employee. How does he feel about her was the only question on Angela's mind. Angela was so lost in her thoughts she did no

    "Is your work too little for you?" Bryce threw the question at Angela who instantly became confused. "I don't understand?" Angela replied confused. "You are my secretary, you work on the things I ask you to work on. If you want to impress me do it when working on the things I have assigned to you. Read your contract and don't go outside your responsibilities," Bryce said."I don't understand. I didn't do anything wrong?" Angela defended."Angela, I am not asking for your explanation. I only told you what I hate. Now if you wish to last this company, you will listen. Now leave," Bryce said and Angela felt pained.She frowned and almost stormed out of the office. Bryce could tell she was deeply hurt but he ignored her. "Mr President, this is not right. I thought you were going to make her face the committee, but you let her go with a warning? How will this deter others from doing the same thing? If she signs an undertaken, she would see this is a serious company who does not condone

    "My poor little angel, I'm so sorry to hear your day went badly," Mrs Anderson said from the other side of the call. "Now, tell. What happened," she asked.Angela wiped her tears and sniffled before she began to talk. She told Mrs Anderson everything that had transpired in the company including Eva's calls and Bernard bothering her the previous day and in the morning before work."Oh dear, I am so sorry to hear that. I wish there was something I could do to help," Mrs Anderson said in resignation."Mummy, don't worry. I had a choice in all of this. I could have ignored them, and they wouldn't have gotten me, but I got angry. I didn't just get angry, I allowed my anger to take the better part of me. My boss tried to warn me, but I was too angry to listen. Listening to him scold me, I could feel in his voice he did all he could to prevent me from going into such a mess, but I was too stubborn," Angela said, taking the blame."Sweetheart, don't be too hard on yourself. You did have the r

    "Do you want to talk about it?" Bryce asked and Angela shook her head. How could she talk about the painful memory of her childhood? It was her 13th birthday and her parents were murdered in her presence. The Anderson adopted her and changed her date of birth to her adoption date but maintained the year. "It's okay," Bryce said and rubbed Angela's back gently as he tried to calm her.He wondered what could have scared her so much to the extent of breaking her down this way. Yes, some nightmares could be scary but her reaction feels more like she lived a reality in her dream. "Get some rest," Bryce said and tucked her into bed when she was much calmer."Please don't leave me," Angela begged when Bryce turned to leave.Bryce stopped in his steps. Angela's voice travelled to his eyes one more time as she pleaded with him not to leave. She sounded so scared. "Okay," he replied and decided to continue whatever he was doing in the office the following day. The room he had given to Ange

    "Finally, some peace of mind. I can go back to working my way to Bryce's heart," Susan said after a good laugh when Eva mimicked Angela entering the disciplinary committee room. "Yeah, and I, back to working my way to Bernard's heart," Eva said."I don't know why you are struggling with Bernard. He loves women. I am surprised he is turning you down," Susan said as she sat down behind her desk."Well, that is a side of Bernard, no one knows except me I think," Eva said and sat down behind her desk. "He is free with everyone but he is not a playboy like he makes everyone believe. He is very traditional," she explained. "I see," Susan said. "In that case. There is one thing you can do. Drug him and get him to sleep with you. He will take responsibility," she added."How am I to do that when he doesn't want me anywhere around him?" Eva asked."Company party coming up. We can do something," Susan said."Sounds like a plan," Eva replied with a smile."Now let's just wait for Bryce to retu

    Back in the cell, Bryce pulled away from the hug and stared at Angela's sad tear-stained face holding her by the shoulder. He stared into her eyes and his heart ached. All he could read from her eyes was pain. He cared for her and believed in her innocence seeing her again. Now he needs to get hold of something to support what he thinks. He was unsure when or how it happened, but he felt her lips on his and gave in to the desire that travelled through his body. He kissed her. Angela did not protest. She allowed him to kiss her and she didn't even know what pushed her to accept his kiss. Bryce is fully aware that Angela has been accused of murdering two members of the Moore family and there is evidence proving her guilty.

    Susan's home, at 2 am, four hours after Bryce and Marcus had left, Susan slowly opened her eyes. Her head hurt so bad and her nose picked up a horrible smell. Her body was sticky. The light in her room was still on. She realized she was lying on the floor. She pushed herself up as she tried to recollect from memory what happened. She saw the vomit she was lying in and recalled everything. Feeling disgusted, she carefully got up from the floor and walked into the bathroom. She stood under the shower in the bikini and allowed the water to wash down her body before removing her panty and bra and dropping them in the bin. She put some shampoo into her hair and began to wash it. She realized immediately she had a cut at the back of her head. Her mind quickly went to the pain she felt at the back of her head before darkness covered her. After showering, she wrapped her hair in a towel and put on a bathrobe. She went for the mob and a mop bucket and cleaned the vomit from the floor annoyed h

    "I told you he would come. This side of the business is new. There is no way he would leave it in Britney's hands to handle alone," Eva said, and Susan smiled, knowing it was Devon who had convinced Bryce to come for the premiere. "Let's go welcome him," Susan said and was about to leave but Eva stopped her."How about the red carpet?" Eva prompted her as she wanted to take some pictures."No, I will only do the red carpet with Bryce. I need to get the news out there," Susan replied and Eva smiled."That sounds great.

"Do you have anyone in mind?" she asked."This is where I got stuck," James interrupted. "I don't know anyone at the headquarters.
