“Ruby?“ Wayne said.“We'll you're right boss, I'm sorry I haven't reached out to you in a while. I had some cases to settle, but I'm fine now that everything is settled, how have you been?“ Ruby asked.“Well I'm good thank you,” Wayne responded.“How about the company? I heard the project is completed,” Ruby mumbled.“Oh, yes you're right, and we will be having an opening party by next week, I'm sure you'll be there,” Wayne said.“Yes I will, I definitely will be there, but I have a question,”“And what is it?“ Wayne asked.“Uh— I'm not trying to sound selfish in a way, but—uhh, will Talia be coming too?“ Ruby asked.“What sort of question is that?“ Wayne asked.“Please don't get me wrong boss, I just want to know,” Ruby mumbled.“Well I guess you have to see for yourself, do have a good day,” Wayne said then he hung up. Why did he react in such a way, just because Ruby asked if Talia was going to attend the opening party, does this mean Wayne is having a soft spot for Talia? Well…. w

THE VENUE: WAYNE, TALIA & RUBY.Ruby entered the venue wearing a long emerald green satin dress. She looked around the room where unfamiliar elegant men and women were seated, different expensive champagnes being served to each seated guest. Ruby spotted Wayne talking to a guest and decided to go up to him."Hi," she whispered in Wayne's ear."Alright, I'll call you back," Wayne said to the man he was talking to, then turned to see Ruby smiling nervously."You came?" Wayne asked in a calm tone."Yes I did, I'm sure Talia wouldn't come, she always tends to miss important occasions,she can't just….,” Ruby stopped talking because a family figure had caught both her and Wayne's attention.It was Talia, in her beautiful lace dress.And as soon as she walked in, all eyes were on her. Her beautiful, expensive dress and her million-dollar pearl jewellery got most of the ladies talking."Who is she?""I've seen her somewhere,""She used to work for Wayne, right?""I think she's his mistress,"

ONE MONTH LATER: WAYNE.A month after thousands of people were interviewed to work in Wayne's car company, only a few were chosen.Talia was still working as manager, while Ruby also kept her position as P.A. (personal assistant).Wayne was in his office going through some papers when Ruby walked into his office without knocking. Wayne looked up to see that it was Ruby."Did you just barge into my office without knocking?" Wayne asked."I'm so sorry sir, I honestly forgot to knock," Ruby muttered."But I've seen Talia walk in without knocking before," Ruby muttered in a low tone, but it wasn't low enough because Wayne heard her."What did you just say?" Wayne frowned at her."No, I...""You know what? I want you to hand in your resignation by tomorrow morning, you should know that you're not here for jokes or any kind of competition and more importantly I won't let you disrespect me." Wayne scolded."Please boss, I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again, please, don't fire me, pl

The man stood in front of Mrs Emilia's front door and motioned for her to wind it down, at first Mrs Emilia hesitated, but when she saw the man pull a gun from his trousers and point it directly at Mrs Emilia, fear gripped her, knowing that with one shot it could penetrate, as her car wasn't bulletproof. She rolled down the glass of her front door as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out a cloud of smoke that blurred Mrs Emilia's vision for a few seconds."You must be Mr Cooper's wife?" The man asked."Y-yes, what do you want? We don't owe anyone any money." Mrs Emilia said in a trembling tone."Well that's not why I'm here old woman, no I want you to get out of your car and come with us, my boss wants to have a word with you," Thean gave a sly grin."A word with me, why?" Mrs Emilia asked badly as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out much more smoke than before, making Mrs Emilia cough and choke."Well, that question would be f

"I'm sorry you didn't know this before, Nathan, but Amber is your daughter," Mrs Emilia muttered."Daughter?" Mr Nathan muttered."It's a long story son," Mr Cooper said."Well, I still need to know, damn it! It can't be true," Mr Nathan laughed bitterly, as if realising what he had just been told."How? And why are you telling me this now?" Mr Nathan asked."Because we only found out a few days ago," Mr Emilia replied."Amber, do you know about this?" Mr Nathan asked Amber and Amber shrugged her shoulders."I don't even know who I am, not even my name, let alone who my parents are or were. All I know is that I found myself in a hospital, with a man and a woman claiming to be my parents, and now I am sitting in front of a man who has just been told that he is my father, tell me what else to believe?" Amber grumbles."What is she talking about?" Mr Nathan asked."Son, I think you should sit down, I'm fine and I don't have any heart ailments," Mr Cooper managed to sit up, then adjusted
