I grabbed onto my phone with a hurried stride as I snapped pictures of each and every document I had in my grip and the pictures of the girls I didn't know, along with those of mine as well.As I scrambled out of his office after placing the files back in order to avoid suspicion, I let out a sigh. I made my way to the room, laying down with my phone placed on the side as I watched him walk in."You're back..." I uttered, welcoming him as he dropped his suitcase and loosened his suit jacket."I heard the news about the death of one of the employees..." he questioned, placing his suit jacket in the cupboard."Yeah..." I responded."Oh, wasn't he the same guy who dared touch you at the party... last night?""Yes, he was," I answered, my gaze unwavering on Sebastian as he slowly loosened his his tie, seating himself down and grabbing onto his laptop as he sat down on the couch close to the bed. His eyes showed no sign of shock or pity.Just a casual look, like the news was nothing..."We

I left no reply further to him, for I knew nothing of who he was and how he knew me.I withdrew my gaze from my phone, retreating as I made my way to my car and slowly entered. Gosh! All this stress I never wanted now. The time seemed to have slipped away with some minutes passed, tired and restrained from the police bringing me over to the station. All I needed now was to sit and relax my mind a bit and try to calm the situation at hand. The project would commence tomorrow, and I hoped there wouldn't be any sort of delay this time to affect it. And I hoped this death of Tristan just didn't prove to get in the way.That detective, I was sure that even with what I had made known or said, it seemed he hardly believed me and would mostly have his eyes on me for some periods of time.Releasing a sigh, I started my engine as I drove off, leaving the station. I decided to drive back to the mansion instead. I needed some time to relax and calm down my nerves.Arriving back at the mansion,

Scarlet's POVMy eyes glared at the mirror as I slowly applied some lipstick, putting on some makeup. Finally, today was the commencement of the project after so many things leading to the postponing; it was finally time.Time to begin my plan, no more delay in it all.Wearing a nice, designer dress, I stepped down the stairs, making my way to my car, as I drove off, leaving the mansion and returning to the company, enteringThe mood was quite a busy one, with each employee working on their tasks. Well, I should expect the busy mood, as the company's AI project was to commence today.I slowly walked forth, making my way to the elevator, which took me to my office floor.Entering my office, I opened up my window, glancing at my laptop, checking out my research and information regarding the AI project.I needed each detail to be correct, with no sign of errors or faults. This was a big deal for me, being my first project to oversee, so I wouldn't want it going badly now.A knock grabbed

A deep silence filled the room for a few seconds, with all eyes staring, some at Aiden and some at me."So, Mr. Aiden Harrison, do you know why you were called here to this meeting?" Alexander uttered, breaking the silence."I- I mean – I had no idea today was the project commencement, Sir," Aiden whispered."Don't you hear yourself? You were here yesterday, and the news reached you all that the project would commence today. Now, you're telling us you didn't know. Do you think this is some sort of joke, Mr. Aiden?" Alexander's tone echoed with burning rage.I admit I had never seen him this angry before, but I guess business was no joke in their line of work.What was more interesting and fun was Aiden's downcast gaze. I loved it all, but I still had no idea why I was called up to this meeting. Was this truly about Aiden? It didn't seem like they had known about the message."The shareholders have decided to relieve you of your job... you are fired, Mr. Aiden," the words slashed throug

A buzzing tone grabbed my attention as I reached for my phone. My face caught sight of the anonymous caller, but this time it was a video call. I found it hard to believe he would eventually call, but this was finally the time to confirm things. From the pictures, I had no idea who he was or how he knew me and got my details.A silent pause came over me as I slowly grabbed the phone and picked up the video call, releasing another sigh. My eyes caught a glimpse of him, but he seemed to be in the dark. I said nothing at first, my eyes trying to catch a glimpse of him in the shadowy background. "Hi," a voice came through, and I guessed it was him."Hello," I replied in a whisper, my eyes still searching. "Why can't I see your face? Why the shadowy background? Are you trying to hide something?" I questioned. Him calling on a video call wasn't helpful if I couldn't see him. I needed to confirm if the picture he sent was truly him.He left no reply, which made me more curious as to why he w
