Richard arrived at Evan's house and noticed his absence. Emma welcomed him and offered him a seat."You sounded so worried over the phone," Richard remarked."Yes, I am confused. I don't know what is happening anymore. Evan traveled three days ago and never told me where he went. His phone number isn't connecting," Emma explained."Hmm, have you been keeping an eye on his movements?" Richard asked."His movements? Not really. Did he inform you about his plans?" Emma inquired.Richard fell silent. He wasn't sure if it was right to disclose the conflict he had been having with Evan to Emma. Perhaps he needed to tell Evan so that he would understand the situation."Emma, I'm sorry to say that Evan ran away because of me. It wasn't just a simple trip, he escaped," Richard revealed.Emma was taken aback. "What do you mean? You two have been friends for a long time, so what kind of conflict can't be resolved?""Listen, you know how I always give Evan honest advice, even if it might hurt him

This issue was beyond Richard, so he called Elijah and asked him for a hangout. Elijah told him to visit his office if it was urgent; otherwise, he would wait until evening.Richard couldn't wait that long because he didn't know what to do next. He drove to the company where he was working.Richard met with the secretary, "Please, I am here to see the manager.""Hold on, let me contact him and make sure he is free to receive visitors.""That's alright," he sat down and waited for the secretary. When she came out, she signaled for him to follow her.She opened the door for him, and he entered inside."Elijah, I am sorry for the disturbance.""Not at all. You sounded urgent over the phone, and you looked disturbed," they shook hands, and Elijah told him to sit on the sofa while he joined him."So, what is disturbing you?"Richard didn't even know where to start. They all knew that he was once Evan's friend, but that didn't justify what he was about to reveal to him."Richard, are you ok

Lucy's mother didn't find this funny. The behavior that Lucy displayed was a big insult to them."What do you think has come over Lucy? Does she want to leave her new man for Ivan?""I can't even say anything now. What I can't do is to face Ivan if he eventually decides to come back for Lucy.""I doubt it. Ivan with the money he has now can't accept it, knowing fully well that we all tortured him."The husband looked at her, "hope you know it was your fault? You all started this.""Are you now pushing the blame on me? We did all that together. Don't blame me, please."This was how they were blaming themselves until Lucy's father brought out his laptop to find out more about Ivan.They were surprised to see the achievements he has made so far. "But he never had all these.""I heard the parents hid the secrets away from him. I could remember how he suddenly disappeared when a ring was offered to him, which I wanted to snatch away from him.""Hmm, we really went too far. What do we do no

They all wondered what brought him to their place. The car parked, and then the person driving stepped down from the car. However, when they opened the door for him, it was not Ivan.Lucy was disappointed; it was his driver who had used his car to deliver a file to her, which she was supposed to sign.The disappointment on her face was glaring. The way she collected the file from him and scattered them on the table just to go through them and sign was very annoying to the driver.He asked himself what the problem was. Why was she behaving abnormally? Was she expecting Ivan himself?"Here," she handed the file back to him. He collected it and stared at her for a while before she slammed the door against him.He was startled. "Huh? This lady must be crazy," he thought, as he went back into the car and zoomed off. He was not happy with the way he was welcomed and treated.There was no sign of good manners from her or her parents. A visitor should at least be offered a seat or even water

Since Chelsea and Richard started visiting Elijah's house, Elijah has had a soft spot for Chelsea, even though he has been hiding it and doesn't want his wife to know.At the same time, Chelsea wasn't aware and has been focused on Richard. She wasn't looking for anything more in a man.But the incident that happened last time was a mistake, and she hopes it doesn't happen again.She loves Richard so much and wouldn't want to betray him. She knows he has been faithful to her despite what others may think."Chelsea, I'm sorry for what happened last time, and I know it wasn't intentional, but I have feelings for you," Elijah confessed.Chelsea was speechless. The words left her breathless. She stood frozen in place.Elijah's breath raised the hairs on her skin. She felt her legs begin to wobble.Chelsea could have stayed and listened to him, given him attention. But she ran out of the office and into the company restroom.She was breathing heavily, wondering what Elijah was up to. Was he
