Chapter - 141"Here are your Empanadas," Alex walked out of the kitchen with a plate full of something round in shape, "And here comes your litchi juice." Alex said as he placed them in front of Martha, "C'mon, dig in."Martha, who was busy looking at the reports in her hand, nodded and reached out to grab that round, doughnut-like thing without even looking."Careful," Alex yelled as he lightly slapped her hand away.Martha, on the other hand, looked with a questioning gaze.When Alex saw Martha give him that look, he raised her eyebrows, "What? I just got them out of the microwave. They are still hot." Alex explained."... Put that file down and eat carefully," Alex said as he sat in front of her.Hearing Alex, Martha did not say anything and put the reports on the side before diverting all her attention to the food in front. Alex had put a great deal of effort into preparing this meal. From the dough to the fillings, everything took a great deal of effort and precision. She should

Chapter - 143"Veronica?" Alex looked at Jessica in confusion."You know her. She is..." Jessica thought Alex did not remember who Veronica was."I know who she is," Alex stopped Jessica, "But aren't you like the big boss of Theation?" Alex asked.Hearing Alex, Jessica sighed, "There is always someone holding a knife by your neck."Alex smiled. He could see the helplessness on her face, but she was not unhappy about it. In a sense, Veronica's constant gibberish added spice to her dull life. And to be fair to Veronica, when she brought this topic up, Jessica did not put much of a resistance to the idea.After Alex got back from his trip, Veronica was everywhere. Every time he switched on the television, Jessica was there. If Alex decided to watch a video, she was there in the advertisements. He left the house, and there she was on the hoardings. Everyone wanted to outdo the others when it came to Veronica. There were even discussions on if she had ever peed while in the shower.With su

Chapter - 145'Ullu? Didn't Jessica and Veronica go there last week?' Daniel thought, 'Could something have happened there?'"Sir... If you permit, can I talk to her?" Daniel asked, pointing at Jessica, "I need to ask her something."The officer looked at Daniel and then towards Jessica's beautiful face, looking at him with hope and helplessness."Since it's you, I will allow it," the officer nodded, "I don't think a beautiful girl like her can kill someone. Well, not counting those killer eyes."Daniel totally ignored the officer's comments and made his way toward Jessica, pushing away all those who came in his way."What have you gotten yourself into, kiddo?" Daniel asked, helplessly smiling at Jessica."I don't know," Jessica was clearly panicking with the unexpected charges she was facing, "What murder? Whose murder? They didn't even tell me.""Did something happen in Ullu?" Daniel did not answer her but counter-questioned."Wha..h...?" Now it was Jessica's turn to be startled. Sh

Chapter - 147"Guys, gather around," Alex clapped his hands, trying to get the attention of everyone present there.Jessica had just left the building, and Alex was excited to share the information regarding the proposed collaboration with everyone in 'AR'. Everyone had watched Jessica walk out of the building, and now looking at the excitement on Alex's face, they were sure it was good news."You just saw who was here, right?" Alex looked across the faces and saw them nodding, "The freaking Jessica herself. I mean, can you believe it? The boss of such a big company coming to our doorsteps, it's a big deal in itself." Despite the excitement on Alex's face, everyone looked at him in confusion. The resentment and enmity he held for Theation and Jessica were known to all. He had expressed this himself on numerous occasions. On top of that, the talks about their altercation in Ullu had reached every ear in 'AR'. So, taking all that into account, the smile blooming on his face after seein

Chapter - 149'Can't I have a moment of fun?' The officer in charge thought. No peace, no fun, nothing. What is going on with his life today?Just as he was ready to see some action, his phone rang. It was the same man from before. The officer did not know who he was, but he had to follow every word of the man. Why?It all started the moment he received his call in the morning. At first, he paid no attention to him. You can't just call a police officer and ask him to do as you want.But he was soon bombarded with calls from officials he had never in his life dreamt of talking to. Be it the Additional Solicitor General, the minister of law or someone from the ministry of defence, everyone asked him to do as he was asked.The man's request was quite simple, go and arrest a lady. Well, they have done things of this sort all the time, so he was not very much against the idea. But when he got to know that the lady was none other than the rising business star of the city, that was a bit of
