**Third person**“Hey, how are you doing?” Val asked casually.Amelia turned to glare at her. “When did we start exchanging pleasantries?” Then her focus returned to the soup she was scooping onto her plate.“We don't,” Val agreed. “But I just thought you'd like to know that I was attacked on Friday.”Amelia's eyes widened with fear. Did Val already know? But Amelia was backing Valerie, and so Val didn't see the look on Amelia's face. “If Val knew, she'd have already told Lucas, and they'd have come for her,” she thought to herself.Amelia immediately regained her composure, the frown on her face deepening. “And why would I want to know that?”“I just thought that since my life was threatened and we work for the same company, you might want to know,” Val explained, her tone laced with a tint of sarcasm.Amelia rolled her eyes and released a breath she didn't know she was holding. “Well, I'm glad you're fine. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand. "Shuu…” “Thank you, and Lucas

**Third person** Amelia's mind raced as she sipped her coffee in a corner of the dimly lit cafe. Her eyes flew to the watch on her wrist yet again. She'd planned to leave by 9PM. She swiped her phone screen and read his message again. “Don't forget your deadline is Monday.” Taking a deep breath, she took another sip of her coffee, allowing the liquid to burn through her throat. This wasn't the time to hesitate. She had to carry on since she'd exhausted her only option; her savings. No friends who'll be willing to lend her some money, and definitely not Karen. She had acted on her own accord, and it didn't turn out for the better like she'd expected. That would only make Karen furious. The last option lingered in her mind; it was the only way, and she bet Adam wouldn't even notice. After taking the last sip of her coffee, she rose to her feet. It was already 9PM. She paid for the coffee and then headed out. Amelia made her way back to the office building, her heart pounding

**Valerie** The women's laughter grew louder, creating a chorus of mocking chirps. "What's that look on your face? Too big to pick up her clutch?" Amelia fired again, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Maybe Karen was right. It wasn't a big deal, after all. I just need to swallow my pride and pick up her bag. This job was really important to me, and I needed to keep it. Just as I stepped forward to pick up the bag, Lucas appeared and picked it up. “Here.” He extended the bag to Karen. He turned to me, his eyes sparkling with a warmth that melted away the tension in my chest. "I've been looking for you everywhere," he said, his voice soft and reassuring. “Uh…” I mumbled, my eyes wide with surprise. Lucas wrapped his arm around me, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through my body. My heart pounded in my ears as I struggled to catch my breath. My mind raced. “Lucas?” I managed to murmur. He smiled at me and cupped my cheeks. “Are you okay?” My eyes moved to his han

**Third person**Adam laid face-up on his bed, his mind replaying the events of the day, and all of them were filled with Valerie. Was she dating Lucas? Could she also date him?No, she can't be dating Lucas. If she was, she'd have mentioned it when he told her that he loved her, right? He squeezed his eyes shut, the image of Lucas's hand wrapped around Val's waist burning brightly in his mind. And then it seemed Lucas was about to kiss Val on the lips.Adam's eyes flew open, a jolt of jealousy coursing through him. No, no, that part didn't happen.Just then, he felt Karen's arm wrap around his chest, and she planted a kiss on his neck. Adam shrugged and pulled away, feeling a surge of irritation bubble up within him.“What is it?” Karen asked innocently, her voice soft and seductive."Nothing, I'm just tired," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper."Then I'll be the one riding you," she suggested, her eyes sparkling with desire as she ran a palm on his bare chest and traced it d

**Valerie**The murmurs in the hall increased even more.Mister Denver's face contorted in despair as he walked up to the podium where Adam was and fell to his knees, his hands clasped together in a pleading gesture. "No, sir, please! I've given my life to this company!” He begged. “I've worked tirelessly for years, dedicating every waking moment to its success. I would never, ever betray that trust!"His voice cracked as he spoke, his eyes welling up with tears, and he clung onto the hem of Adam's trouser. "I swear on my family's name; I am innocent!"My heart ached, my eyes shifting to the side instinctively, and that's when finally I saw it—the smile on Amelia's face.I clenched my jaw.So she'd known all along that she wasn't going to be called out as the culprit? What the hell was going on?How exactly did she do it? Then my gaze snapped back to Mr. Denver, who was still pleading his case. "Please, sir, have mercy! I'll do anything to clear my name! I'll work for free; I'll do
