Amber couldn’t wrap her head around what she has been told or the fact that Todd Anderson apologised for treating her badly over a wrong conception, the fact that he could bring himself down to say sorry to her, amazes her, she remembered how her jaw draw open on their own and she had to pinch herself before she could believe he actually said the word “sorry" Todd and Stanley had has to meet with Ann in the fastest time possible, she remembered the matter at hand now was about murder, she brought our her phone and dialled Ann.“Hey Ann, long time no talk, have you been staying out of trouble" she asked at a go, not knowing how to bring up the topic she really wanted to talk about, she listened for Ann reply but it didn’t come as fast as she expected so she asked“Are you there, Ann"“am here, am just shocked to see you call and speaking like you actually care" Ann said sharply“oh please, you know I care and that’s why you take advantage of it everything, anyway I didn’t call to argue

For days Jen noticed the way Todd acts, he would call Amber into his office and everything would seem great, she could see Amber was gaining more confidence but whenever they were in the public he treats her shabbily, Jen decided it was time to get closer to Amber for information, she had been working with Todd for five years now, she even met Todd before Sarah, his ex wife, she felt she deserves to be with him more than anyone else, she always thought Amber was a pushover, she had never imagined she could be a competition which was why she told her about the interview in the first place, now she has to compete with Petra and Amber and God knows who else. She decided to spend her lunch break with Amber but just as she was opening her office door, Amber was about walking out“Hey Jen, how can I help you"Amber asked surprised to see Jen at lunch break, usury Jen would have gone for lunch “Well, am here to take my best friend out for lunch, is that a crime"Jen side looping her hand w

The weekend went by quickly and work soon resumed on Monday, Todd focused on working and Stanley focused on finding the two guys whom Ann had described.For the next few weeks Todd was busy chasing investors to invest in his new project, the Architects were done with the proposed design and the 3D, they were currently working on the modelling of the design of a 500 unit estate design, the Estate was design to be smart buildings, Todd had series of meetings and Amber went along with him for all of it, gradually he began to show his soft side to her though not publicly but Amber was beginning to believe that he may like her.Todd and Amber went for a meeting at the Hilton corporation, as Todd stepped into the elevator Amber tried walking in, she missed a step and broke her heel, Todd was fast to hold her from falling and he bent down to inspect the damage, seeing the she felt a slight pain on her ankle, he quickly carried her out of the elevator and building, he dropped her in his car

Todd dropped Amber at home and asked if she had plans for tomorrow to which Amber said no, he paused for a while then said.“Good, I’ll pick you up for dinner at 6pm” got into his car leaving Amber gawking behind him as he drove off.Amber got into her apartment after he left but was furious, she would like to give him a piece of her mind but she couldn’t because she couldn’t muster up the courage to do so, she wished he had at least asked her like a normal man would do but instead he chose to act like a boss offering his staff a meal, if it was a date, he should have asked if she would like to have dinner with him but he didn’t, well maybe it isn’t a date after all she thought“maybe am thinking too much" she told herself, her legs were wobbling slightly, she had drank just two half filled cups from the wine served, she shouldn’t be feeling this dizzy she thought, though she wasn’t completely drunk and can still walk on her own, she knew she had to sleep it off, so she went in and wi
