"Hello, am I speaking with Mrs Emma Adriel?" a beautiful sweet feminine voice came through."Yes, this is Emma.""Thank goodness. I thought I got the wrong number since it wasn't reachable since yesterday.""Who is this, please?""My bad! This is Harper. Harper Smith from the other day.""Oh, I am equally sorry for not telling that it was you so early. It's nice to hear from you again.""Yeah, how are you doing and how's Adriel?""I am fine and he is fine. I think that is not the only reason you called, right? Is there a problem?""Not at all! So I will just get to the point. I want you to come over to my place for a light dinner or maybe late lunch."Emma was silent, hesitant to accept."Why does she want me to come over to her place for dinner? Is she trying to use my secret against me and to order me around?"Emma thought, feeling so uneasy about it.Harper spoke up, noticing her silence."I don't mean any harm, Emma. I just want you to come over for a friendly dinner. I already to

Emma's phone rang, breaking the silence of the morning. "Who is this so early this morning?" Emma mumbled, grumbling as she picked her phone to answer the call."Hello, who is..."Emma did not complete her sentence when she heard Harper's voice.She looked at the number to see if there was a caller ID but there was none."I didn't save her number."Thankfully, Harper spared her and did not pursue why she did not save her number."Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?""Good morning, Harper. It's still so early. Is anything the problem?""Not really. I should have called yesterday after you got home but I could not. Sorry about that.""It's fine. Thank you for treating me well yesterday.""Okay so I called to ask you for something. Please do it for me as a favour. I will feel so bad if you turn me down.""Okay? So what do you want me to do?""Just say you would do it first.""How can I say I would do it when I don't even know what you want to ask?""Please just say yes."Harper coul

With polished marble flooring and crystal chandeliers reflecting rainbows of light, the huge ballroom was a vision of wealth. The elite mixed effortlessly, their custom tailored suits and luxury outfits a reflection of their sophisticated taste. Still, Harper's arrival overshadowed the grandeur of the scene. Her beautiful gown shimmered like the moon as she walked across the room, capturing everyone's attention. However, the necklace was the real star of the show. The guests were held spellbound, as the sapphires and diamonds on her neck appeared to come to life.. The necklace truly stole the show as all eyes were on her neck. "That jewel pattern seems so familiar. I have seen it somewhere. Why is my brain failing me now?""That is Mason's jewel pattern. My mom has the a jewel made by him and it is just the same. I can tell even from here that he definitely made that necklace for Harper.""Do you mean the famous jewelry designer, Mason Logan? Gosh!""I heard he has been in seclu

Adriel slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the financial reports in front of him. The numbers swirled together, a jumbled mess of red and black ink. The shares were plummeting, and he had no idea how to stop the free fall."Steven?"He called out to his assistant who was standing before him."When last did our shares drop so much like this? I can say I haven't even witnessed it this way ever since I joined the company, or have you?""No, I haven't sir. The numbers are terrifying.""Have you done what I asked you to do?""Yes, it won't drop further for now but we still have to come up with a counter measure that will stop the fall and increase it back to normal.""What about the press? I can't hold any press conference in this state.""They have been dealt with, sir. You don't have to worry about news flying around."Adriel nodded but he knew he had to do something."There will be an emergency board meeting in two hours and the chairman will be around.""I know about that. I need

"Good morning, sir. I have the updated plans for the Thompson project ready for your review.""Ah, excellent. Let me take a look." He sets his coffee down and took the plans from Alex. "As you will see, we have made some changes to the design to accommodate the client's requests. We've also updated the timeline and budget."Adriel said, scanning the material. "Looks good. What is the status on the materials delivery?""Everything is on schedule. The materials will arrive at the site tomorrow morning.""Great. And what about the labor team? Are they ready to start work?""Yes, sir. The team is assembled and ready to begin construction as soon as the materials arrive."Mr. Thompson: "Excellent work, Alex. Keep me posted on any developments."Alex: "Of course, sir. I will keep you updated.""Sir, about the investigation and reports, I have gathered some things and I found out that it was not just an accident like you said. It was probably all planned by someone to cause chaos.""But I a

As the line went dead, Adriel tried to call the number again but it did not ring or even go through."Something is definitely fishy."Adriel kept on trying. He went as far as trying other of Alex's numbers but it was not going through.He had not spoken to Alex in two days. The last time they spoke, Alex was still gathering evidence on his case as he was Adriel's private investigator."I just hope you are still fine, Alex."Adriel pressed the office button and Steven came in."Steven, I need your help. I can't reach Alex. His phone is dead, and I am getting worried," Adriel said, his concern evident.Steven's expression turned serious. "I will try to track him down, sir. Do you have any idea where he was last or what he was working on?"Adriel thought back to their last conversation. "He was investigating a lead on the case. He mentioned something about following a suspect."Steven nodded. "I will check his last known locations and see if I can trace his movements. I will also reach o

Emma sat in her living room, staring at her phone with a mix of anxiety and uncertainty. She had to tell Adriel about her trip with her master, but she had no idea how to explain it without revealing the truth about her past and her connection to the jewel designing world.Just as she was about to give up, she remembered Harper's offer to help her with anything she needed. Emma took a deep breath and dialed Harper's number."Hey, Harper! How are you doing? I have not heard from you in a few days." Emma said, trying to sound casual."Did you miss me that much? Well, I am fine. I have just been preoccupied with work.""How about you? What's up? Are you okay?"Emma was still finding a way to chip in the reason she called when Harper asked her what was wrong so she decided to go with the flow."No, I am not.""Why no? What's wrong?""Uhmm, I need your help with something.""Of course, Emma! What is going on? Tell me so I can help in my little way." Harper replied, her voice warm and frie

Emma closed the front door behind her, taking a deep breath as she stepped out into the crisp morning air. Adriel's words still lingered in her mind, "Don't forget about me, okay? Come back quickly because I will miss you a lot." She smiled, feeling a mix of guilt and affection.As she walked to her car, Emma glanced back at the house, where Adriel was now standing at the door, watching her leave."When did he come out?" She mumbled to herself as she saw him. She waved, and he returned the gesture before disappearing from view.***At the airport, Emma made her way through security and arrived at the designated meeting point, a small café near the departure gates. She decided to call Harper before she got on board."Hello, darling. I know it's the day of your trip. I wish you a safe trip. Call me when you get there.""Thank you so much, Harper.""Why do you have to keep thanking me continuously? I said it's fine. I should help as a good friend.""How are you going to handle Adriel?

“Mason Logan?”“How can it be Mason Logan?”"This is ridiculous. Which Mason Logan is she referring to? Is there any other Mason Logan we know than the popular one?"There were whispers all over the hall.“Do you think something is wrong with the announcer?” Someone said in the hall.“Maybe. Mason Logan is already a popular and established jewel designer so what's with the category of emerging designer?”“My bad! Please forgive me. Everyone should please forgive me for my error.” The announcer on the stage spoke.“I made a huge mistake. How can I announce Mason Logan for the emerging designer award? It was a blunt mistake.”“So I would announce the correct name now.”All eyes were focused and the hall became quiet again.“So the winner of the emerging designer award is…”She dragged her speech, looking round the hall as if she would find the person.“Are you all so anxious?” She chuckled, relieving the moment.“Just announce the name already. The suspense is too much. Tell us who the

“Ahh!” Emma felt a pain course through her heart at the same instant when the accident happened.The glass cup she was holding in her hand slipped to the floor, causing it to break in pieces.“Ouch!” She screamed in pain. Some pieces of the glass had cut through her palm.“Are you alright?” Harper, who had just left her alone for a few minutes, rushed back to where she was.“I am fi..ne. I was just careless for a few seconds and it slipped from my hands.”Harper had a look of concern on her face. “Are you sure about that? You should be careful. I think you are still thinking about that stuff. The deed has been done already so just accept it.”Emma remained silent. That was not true. She was not thinking. She only felt a pain in her heart and then the glass slipped from her hands.“Do you think something bad might have happened?”“Oh no, Emma, stop those superstitious beliefs of yours. Nothing bad has happened. You were careless like you said and the glass slipped from your hands.”“Wh
