Angela stood there not sure how to feel. Just 24 hours ago she was facing the disciplinary committee for breaking a company rule with termination as the punishment. Lucky her, she was not terminated but she signed an undertaken and now this.

"Mr President, I ...." Angela began and realised there was nothing she could say that would liberate her and if anything trying to explain that it wasn't her effort was not going to save the company from the inevitable.

"What can I do to help?" Angela found herself saying looking very sorry.

Bryce was about to reply when they both heard a knock on the door. Bryce responded and Susan walked in.

"Mr Present, I received this email from Don Entertainment. They claim they have a contract with us," Susan said. "They sent me this and it has your stamp on it," she added and showed the document she had printed to Bryce.

Bryce looked at it briefly and sat down behind his desk. He dismissed Angela with a hand gesture and he asked Susan to sit down.

    "This is not good. It means Angela is still going to be around," Eva said. "Wait, how about we make sure whatever nonsense experiment they are doing doesn't work?" she suggested and Susan gave it a thought."That sounds like a good plan, but how do we pull that off without drawing attention to ourselves? Let's not forget, that you fought with her and she was not dismissed. Bryce saw my reaction when I realized they were keeping her and Bryce saw my reaction again when I realised he intended to keep Angela after this second mistake. Bryce would run an investigation if a third mistake happens," Susan pointed out. "We don't have to be directly involve. We can pay someone to do the job," Eva said with a sinister smile."Great. Do you have someone in mind?" Susan asked."Don't worry about that. I will find someone perfect for the job," Eva said smiling."Remember, everything must be Angela's mistake," Susan pointed out."Let me get the person first. I come over to your house," Eva said an

    Angela stood on the bus on her way wondering what Eva and Susan wanted from her. She just wished she could tell Eva, she was already married and hence didn't have any interest in Bernard but Bryce had told her their marriage must remain a secret."Why marry me in secret and ask me to move in with you, when we are not living like a married couple?" Angela thought and her mind shifted to Bryce.She recalled the feel of his body when she slept in his arms. A smile crept up her face and she began to blush. The bus stopped at her junction snapping her out of her dreaming moment. She got down from the bus and started walking towards the Estate. She was already known by the security men. She greeted and walked through the gate heading towards the apartment. She pushed the front door open and entered. Josephine welcomed her and Angela acknowledged with a nod and headed for the staircase. She climbed up and headed for the bedroom.Inside the bedroom, she tossed her bag onto the couch and took

    "Perfect. Let's meet him at the restaurant across the street," Susan said."Okay," Eva replied and quickly sent a message from her phone to the person who had sent her the guy's details. "Okay, let's go. He headed for the restaurant now," she said."Okay," Susan acknowledged and stood up from behind her desk.Eva equally stood up from behind her desk and the two ladies exited the room heading for the elevator. Outside, as soon as the ladies entered the restaurant across the street, Bryce's car drove in and it was followed by that of Bernard.

The two cars parked in their respective places and the occupant alighted, heading to the company. Everyone went to their respective office and Angela after drafting her email for the staff screening, shared it with Bryce for his approval before email

    Angela remained frozen in her spot while Bryce continued to kiss her. It was like Bryce didn't care whether or not she responded to his kisses. He was indifferent about her reaction to his action as he continued to make her lips his. Angela felt his hand go understand her robe. She just had a shower, she had nothing under the robe. She felt Bryce's warm palm explore her body. Despite the confusion in her mind and the tension that swept over her body, his touch drew some feeling out of her. He slipped the robe off her body dropping it to the floor and ripped his shirt buttons apart. Angela just stood there staring at him not sure what to make of the whole situation. He lifted her off the floor and dropped her on the bed. He climbed on top of her and captured her lips again in another kiss. Angela slowly yielded to him following the desire that was consuming her slowly resulting from his pleasurable hands. Angela shut her eyes and allowed herself with enjoy the moment. He was her husba

Her mind will shift to her intimate moment with Bryce and then back to what she walked in on a couple of minutes ago. "We are here madam," the Uber driver said snapping Angela out of her thought.

She walked towards the apartment and entered. She climbed the staircase and was soon on Zora's floor. She walked down the quiet corridor until she reached Zora's door. Angela knocked gently and the door was opened."Hey girlfriend, you look stunning," Zora admired scanning Angela from head to toe. Angela was wearing one of the clothes from the closet in her room which was bought for her. She had gone for a simple set of gold jewellery, but those were very expensive a

    She sent her location via text to Elorm and got up from behind the study desk. She put the documents into her drawer and walked towards her closet. She went through her clothes and grabbed a sexy black small dress. She slipped into the dress. She stood in front of the mirror and was about to apply some makeup when she remembered Martin."What if he is back home now?" Zora thought. She quickly thought of an excuse to give and still go out of the house. With a convincing thought in mind, she packed her makeup tools into her bag and grabbed a long jacket. She quickly wore it over her sexy small dress. She put on her shoes and exited her bedroom. She locked the door and started walking towards Martin's bedroom door. She stood behind Martin's bedroom door and knocked. She had already planned on what to tell Martin as soon as he opened the door. She waited a while and there was no response. She knocked again and tried opening the door and realized it was locked. She turned around and wal

    "Take the device off Zora's phone once this is over. I will be right back," Martin said to Bernard and exited the office after Bernard had acknowledged. Martin left Bernard's office but didn't go up to Bryce's office. He walked toward Zora's office and opened the door without knocking. As he had suspected, Zora was not in her office. He already knew she was looking for the company's document. He left the place and walked towards the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened and he stepped inside, Elorm took a peek at the hallway. He heard the footsteps in the hallway and next was Zora's office door opening which was the office next to his. This is why he came out to see who it was once he heard the elevator door open. He caught sight of Martin's back before he entered the elevator."Hmm, if I want I can take Zora away from you and you will not stand a chance. I know her better than you but that is not my motive now. It's a shame, you will all go six feet under soon," Elorm though

    Bernard was in his office when his monitoring device picked up Elorm's conversation. He recorded everything.The day went by normally, with everyone in the office going about their duties. Elorm appeared to be showing how committed he was to his new job, which left Zora confused about who he was and his intentions. She knew there was no evidence that Elorm indeed poisoned Angela, but one thing was clear: He lied about his health condition."Was it to get my attention and get back with me?" Zora thought while sitting behind her desk in her office.She recalled things that had happened since the day Elorm showed her his medical report and she thought he was dying. He had kissed her that day. He unexpectedly kissed her again during the company launch and at the hospital, he almost took things beyond a mere kiss, had she not had the will to stop him. He was going to take her right there on the couch with Angela lying on a bed in a coma in the same room with them. "He just wanted to win m

    "He used you to harm Angela. I am going to use you to punish him," Bryce said and Zora raised her head to stare at him. "Now listen to me carefully. Tomorrow, you will go to the office and act normal. By normal I mean he must know that you know his correct health status. Onboard him and let him start work," he added and Zora expressed confusion."Is that all that I am supposed to do?" Zora asked staring at Bryce."Yes, give him the job, and don't change your attitude toward him," Bryce echoed, and Zora nodded. "I am done," he said and at that moment Angela woke up."Zora, you are here?" Angela said drawing everyone's attention in her direction. Zora smiled and walked up to her and stood by her bedside. She held Angela's hand in hers and smiled."I am glad you are awake. How are you?" Zora asked and Angela smiled.Bryce and Martin just stared at the two women chatting."Where is mummy and daddy?" Angela asked and Zora turned to look at Bryce and Martin."They travelled," Bryce quickly

    "What are you talking about?" Zora tried to play smart."Who is he?" Martin questioned and showed the picture to Zora. Zora stared at the image of Elorm on Martin's screen and gulped. "It's not what you think. He didn't do anything. I was with Angela when he left." Zora tried to shield Elorm and Martin frowned."So why did you lie about it the first time?" Martin asked."He is my friend and he has cancer. He is dying. I didn't want you to add him to your list of suspects. He is a good man," Zora defended."Is he your ex?" Martin asked and Zora lowered her head."Yes," Zora replied in a low tone. "He broke up with me when he found out about his health. He didn't want to drag me into his problems," she added."So you want to go back to him?" Martin asked and Zora raised her head to stare at his face."No," Zora replied with a frown."So why were you kissing him? I saw you twice. Is it part of a healing process?" Martin asked feeling hurt about Zora meeting up with her ex."I didn't ki

    Martin stared at her carefully. Zora's heart raced in her chest and Martin picked something staring into her eyes. She appeared to be hiding something."Zora, tell me the truth. I know someone came here. Don't lie to me," Martin said and Zora hardened her heart.She couldn't bring herself to give Elorm away. She was sure Elorm didn't do anything to Angela. If anything, she believed someone may have come in after Elorm left."I was alone with Angela. I left to use the washroom. When I came back, I didn't see anything amiss. I sat down and dosed off. I heard some beeping sound and opened my eyes. I was greeted with the scene of people surrounding Angela's bed," Zora narrated."How long were you in the washroom?" Martin asked."I am not sure but I was there for a while," Zora replied and Martin frowned."What were you doing in the washroom?" Martin asked trying to calculate how long Zora was in the washroom and the possibility of someone entering Angela's ward and exiting without her not
