"Umm.. hi Juliet. I've been trying to reach you for a while now but you're not picking up. I hope you're fine." Juliet paused the message from her voice mail and sighed deeply."Are you okay, Juliet? I would have come over but I don't know if you'll be okay with that. I hope you're fine. Call me when you get this." Another voice message ended. For the past few days, Juliet had been in her shell, one of solitude and depression and she hadn't been taking Erick's call. She curled up in to a life sized ball on her sofa, holding her legs so close to her stomach.Her life seemed really bumpy at this point, with all the rollercoaster of incidents happening at the office. She sighed and sat up, contemplating if calling Erick was a the best option as she hit the call button."Oh my word! Juliet, is that you? Are you okay?" Erick asked anxiously, fear dancing seductively on the tip of his tongue. "I'm here. I'm just here." She replied almost lifeless, resting her back on to the sofa that her h

"Oh, man. I think she likes you. Didn't you see the way she was looking at you?" Liam said, feeling a bit weird. They were outside the hotel, leaning on the car."Forget about it, Liam. She was just being nice. It's so obvious that she's a nice person.""Oh, drop the act. If you like her, just say so. She's pretty, and talented, and man, she has a nice body.""You know what I'm seeing? It's so obvious that you like her. Why didn't you talk to her, huh? Why are you trying so hard to make me want her?""Oh, it's nothing. I just think she's a better pick over Juliet." Robert turned to Liam, a look of curiosity in his eyes."Juliet, again? Now you have to tell me what's up with you and Juliet? You know, I saw the way you looked at her the other day at the eatery. What do you have with her? So you like her? Is that why you want me away from her by all means?""You're getting it wrong, Robert. I just think it's the right thing since she's your secretary. I mean why would the boss be dating

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the boss's secretary, Juliet. What's wrong sweetheart? You look terrible." Hailey smiled, her hand placed lightly on her chest as she walked behind Juliet. It was almost 8am and they had just both arrived at the office. Juliet rolled her eyes without looking back, she kept walking towards the elevator. "Ignoring me won't add a single cent to your pocket, but then, carry on. Enjoy.""Look, Hailey. I don't know what you're going on about, but it is too early for whatever you're trying to do." Juliet said, stopping right in front of the elevator. She pushed a button by the side and the elevator door swung open, arms wide in a huge embrace. Juliet walked in and Hailey followed right behind her."Whatever I'm trying to do? Stop projecting, little miss." Hailey said with a sigh, leaning against the metal wall of the elevator. Juliet didn't say a word, or even turn to look at her. And that enraged her. "You know what? You make me sick. And it really took me all

"Hello." Liam said firmly, feigning a very serious look. "Sophia Richard?""What do you want from Sophia? And who are you too?" Her sweet voice asked fiercely."Oh, my name is Liam Henry. And I really need to speak to Miss Sophia. It's urgent.""I am Sophia. What do you want?" Sophia asked rudely, her legs hurdled up on Michael's back. He turned and looked at her, a questioning look on his face."Well, Sophia, one thing I can tell you is that we want the same thing. How about we meet to discuss this?""I don't meet random people. Sorry. And what do you mean? We both want the same thing? What might that be?""This is a really delicate issue to be discussed over the phone but I guess I don't have a choice. I do hope we can see each other to discuss more on it." Liam sighed deeply, searching for the right words before speaking. " Bringing down Robert.""Oh!" Sophia exclaimed softly, a smile immediately breaking out at the side of her face,leaving Michael in a deep state of confusion. "A

Robert drove back to the hospital, with a wondering heart. What had happened between Juliet's sister and him was almost unbelievable, yet amusing at the same time. He shook his head calmly and sighed.Meanwhile, Mary was already in her sister's house. Her eyes moved from one corner to the other as she looked around in irritation."What kind of hole does Juliet live in? I mean look at this place." She hissed loudly, and tossed her bag at a corner. She sank in to the couch and pulled out her phone to make a call. "Hey, mom." She said immediately her mother picked up. "I just arrived at Juliet's and I am not impressed.""What is it, Mary? Is there something wrong there?""Of course, there is, mom. Did you really check this place out when Juliet relocated?""What is happening, Mary? Why all these questions?" She sighed in a tired tone."This place is a dump. It's not big enough. How does she even manage here?""Your sister didn't want to stay at some massive place, so I let her choose wha
