Inside the Conference room, Tamara was still waiting for Kate. They've already interviewed a number of applicants. She left the other resumes on her table earlier so she asked Kate to bring it over. But it has already been 5 minutes and still no sign of Kate or another Lab technician.

"Excuse me for a moment." Tamara excused herself. "I'll go check outside." The other interviewers nodded.

She left the Conference room and looked left and right to find Kate or another Lab technician from her department.

"How shameless of you to even be here?! After the crap that you did back at Hopton Research Institute, you have the guts to even come here? Isn't endangering the patients' lives more than enough?" Tamara heard a loud voice several feet from her. It was obvious the speaker intentionally said it so others will hear.

Tamara was dismayed. They're conducting interviews and then a scene like this happ

    Tamara was about to lose the last bits of patience she has. She had already planned this day so it would go smoothly, and these two have made a mess of things here. When she did a background check on Bryan Cook and Clara Holt after sensing her boss's attitude at the mention of Hopton Research Institute, she was only looking at it from a perspective of an employee only doing her job. Now facing these two people harassing Diana Winchester, she can't help but feel empathy towards Diana. She did a background check on Diana before right after her speedy hiring. She knows that Diana is always top of her class and even graduated top of her year. Mr. Taylor only told her to offer a job to Diana. As she was about to follow the order, she found that Ms. Winchester submitted an application. She was even recommended by a notable professor. This professor has recommended graduates before and the ones that he recommended are all

    Bryan and Clara resisted the two security guards. The scene quickly became chaotic. With Clara shrieking like a banshee and Bryan shielding her while trying to look up Assistant Ethan Taylor's name in his contacts. "Let go! I know Assistant Taylor! You'll be sorry for treating us like this!" Bryan threatened. He hurriedly pressed the call with his other hand that is holding his phone while struggling to push the security guard from him. "Hello! Mr. Taylor. I'm at the Institute now. Some employees are harassing me…" Bryan was about to speak more when Ethan interrupted. "Alright. I'm heading down." Ethan said calmly, ending the call. Bryan was pleasantly surprised at this. He smirked. "He's coming. Just you wait!" Bryan finally pushed off the security guard who was looking at him indifferently. "What? So they really know the A

    At the cafeteria, Kate and Miriam were waiting for Diana. When they saw her enter, they hurriedly waved at her. Diana went to their table as soon as she saw them. "What took you so long? Here, I already got your food." Kate said. "Here's a bottle of lemonade." Miriam gave it to her. Diana was surprised at their gesture. In front of her is the beef spare ribs over steamed white rice. "How much was it? I'll transfer it to you." "Huh? Don't mention it. It's my treat. Hurry and eat.." Kate waved her hand, rejecting her payment. "Thank you. Both of you." Diana smiled faintly. She just came from some trouble and now she has these two colleagues who took the initiative to befriend her. It was too heartwarming. The two didn't bother Diana. They insisted on having her focus on eating seeing that lunch break is almost over. &n

    The Waterfront Well is one of the famous restaurants in the country. It is only one among several restaurants the Hargreave family owns. This one, in particular, has Lucas's private room which his friends from the Great 7 families also regularly borrows. At that moment, a gentleman in a dark grey suit was waiting patiently inside a private room. When the door opened, Lucas came in and ushered Diana. Atty. Pierpont stood in greeting, introducing himself to Diana. "Good day Mr. Ingram. Hello Ms. Winchester. My name is Hector Pierpont. I will be representing you in your case against Ms. Holt." Pierpont offered his hand to Diana for a handshake which the latter accepted. "Nice to meet you. Thank you for your help." Diana smiled politely. "It's my pleasure." Pierpont smiled in return. Upon seeing Lucas's bored facial expression, the lawyer cleared his throat and proc

    "Can I?" With Diana's silence and dumbfounded look, Lucas asked. "But we barely know each other.." Diana whispered. "We have the time to get to know each other as we spend more time together, right?" Lucas said. Diana was still shocked at what Lucas is saying now. "But--why--" Diana wanted to ask why Lucas would want her to be his girlfriend. Lucas's eyes twinkled. "Go on dates with me first? No harm in that, right?" Diana tried to dissect his brain using her eyes. 'What is going on?' How could she date her boss? It will be troublesome if people at work will find out. Diana sighed. "If I do, can we keep it from work? I don't want trouble at work because of this." Diana is aware that she is taking a gamble now. "

    Diana thought about what Lucas just told her. She has been preoccupied lately with what happened on her first job and now getting settled in her new one that she didn't realize that she can start on her dream sooner than what estimated. "Our Institute has a scholarship for employees who want to enter medical school. When it's time for internship and residency, it will be done in Forrest Hospital. If you pass the criteria for scholarship, you can start that dream soon, don't you think so?" Lucas told her. "I've heard about that from the orientation on the first day." Diana recalled the scholarship and employee benefits. She remembered that the criteria is actually very difficult. Scholarships can be based on need or merit. Knowing that they will do background checks, she won't be eligible if it is based on financial need. The Winchester Family may not be as wealthy as the Great 7 but it still is one of the wealthy families. On this aspect

    Diana was still dumbfounded at her father for accusing her to beg Henry to get back together with her. She didn't know where her father got this idea from. Just because they had just broken up and her ex is with her sister, it didn't mean that she would harp about it. 'Why couldn't they believe that I have moved on?' The way they are is like a broken record, constantly singing a repetitive tune. It was ridiculous and they seem to not have realized it yet. She gritted her teeth. "Get back together with him? Father, you really don't know me. Whatever. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." "Y-you! You! So disrespectful!" Osmond threw the phone on the couch, ending the call. 'Is Henry the best man in the world that any girl would have a darn hard time getting over him?' She glanced at Lucas. 'He's not even an inch closer to this guy.' Diana sighed

    Diana was still feeling warm as she entered the elevator and went up to her apartment. She could feel her cheeks flush red. When she was told about the engagement party, Diana was already prepared to face ridicule from Chantal's friends. She has already made up her mind to just show up and do what's within reason as part of Winchester Family. Naturally she won't make any scene there as she doesn't really have an opinion on the two people involved. But when Lucas asked her about her father Osmond's call, she only answered what he asked. She didn't feel like there's a reason to be so secretive about it. Anyway the media will report about it soon. Knowing Chantal, she would make sure that her party would be so grandiose and would be talked about by the media. However, Diana didn't expect that Lucas would actually invite himself to the event. Only thinking about it is making Diana feel dumbfounded again.

    Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled

    Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei

    “Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall

    Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo

    As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s

    The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta

    After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl

    Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin

    Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
