Chapter 41
Emma walked down from Leonard's office with a downcast expression, her mind still thinking about what she had witnessed, and she wondered if there was really anything going on between both of them, the girl whose name was Alicia and Leonard. She wasn't exactly sure why she was even concerning herself with him however, and she couldn't fathom the feeling she was having even at that moment, but she couldn't help it. "Hey, " her friend said and ran towards her when he saw her, pulling her out of her reverie and back to reality, "are you alright? ""Yes I'm fine, " Emma replied tersely, "but maybe just a little bit tired and weak. "Her friend held her gently and led her back to her vehicle, "it's probably because of how much work you've been doing since the start of the day, don't you think that perhaps you are overworking yourself even a little bit I mean you still have to go and take care of your sister's daughter Ava again when you get home. ""No it's alright, I'll be fine, " Emma

On the morning of the first working day of the following week, Alicia walked into the compound with a smile on her face and walked up the stairs to Leonard's office. She had put on her best attire and had gotten there as early as she could. "Come in, " Leonard said to her when she knocked and greeted her warmly with a smile as she walked into the room, "Alicia, I am glad to see you today, you look ready to work. ""Thank you sir, I want you to know that I take this very seriously and I intend to put in my very best into any work you wish to assign to me, " Alicia replied solemnly. "That's good, because I am going to be frank with you, I have got a lot of work for you to do today, but don't be alarmed it's just how it is, as a newbie there's a lot you need to learn regarding the job regardless of how long you wish to continue the work, even if you are only going to be working here till the end of the year or less there are things every intern must know, " Leonard replied, "I believe

Three Days later, Leonard walked into the office with a swagger in his step and he headed straight into his building. He sighed immediately as he pushed the door open because he was about to launch into the business world. He had been so consumed by work that he had barely had time to rest. He contemplated taking a nap before anyone walked in. That should be enough to make him feel rejuvenated and ready for the day. Alicia pushed the door open just as he was about to rest his head on the table and he sighed softly. Oh, wow, this was an issue on its own. " Good morning, sir." She greeted him with smiles adorning her face. Leonard groaned softly as headache assaulted him and he was almost tempted to tell her to leave but the enthusiasm on her face made him stop. He nodded in response, "morning, Alicia. How's everything going?" He replied. Alicia noticed that his usual cheerfulness was absent and decided to be wise about it. "Why don't I come back later sir? I'll just be in my off

"Oh, I'm sorry sir. I'll just come back later." Emma replied and shut the door gently before marching straight to her seat. This was ridiculous. Had he suddenly forgotten her so soon? Was that how people behaved? Well she had finally been scared, maybe now she would finally become sensible? An ecstatic Estelle approached her brother's office when she heard that the financial issues had been resolved, all thanks to the infamous Alicia.She had passed before returning to Emma's desk when she noticed that the lady didn't greet her which was quite unusual.She tapped Emma's desk making her jump in fright. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, Miss Estelle." Estelle stared at Emma carefully. Her eyes were a bit watery, her cheeks puffy not from overfeeding but...had she been crying? She wondered. Was something wrong with Ava? If something was wrong, Leonard wouldn't be here, so it couldn't be that. She concluded."Are you okay?" Emma nodded sharply, "Yes, I am. I am okay just that someth

"Where are you going?" Leonard inquired from Emma when he saw her crossing the threshold. She was supposed to wait for him but this time around, she didn't even say anything. Emma swiveled immediately and stared at him, " Oh, sorry I didn't want to stress you seeing that you have been a lot busy these days." She apologized and he stared at her wondering the meaning of her words. For all he knew, there was nothing that was stopping her from waiting for him or telling him that he wanted to go home."That has never stopped you before has it?" He responded.Emma rolled her eyes, sgd didn't want to have this conversation with him and she hoped that he understood her. "I'm sorry about that. I want to go home early today so that I can play with Emma a bit before she sleeps. It's nothing serious." She replied with a bite in her voice.Leonard didn't understand why she was acting that way. He figured that she might be on her period that was why she was acting that way but that didn't mean tha

Estelle didn't say anything for a minute and both ladies stared at each other as they waited to hear what was going on. "Let's have this conversation in the room." Estelle said and she followed her immediately. "I don't want to make you angry or anything, but I think that you should be aware of what is going on." She began and Emma stared at her a bit confused as to where this conversation was heading to. "Okay?" "Now, I don't understand what's going on, but I saw something which I would want you to explain to me." Emma still stared on in confusion wondering what was actually going on. "Can you please tell me what is going on?" " Yeah, I can. What is going on is that, I saw that you sold our idea to our rival company but I wanted to ask you first before my brother knows." Estelle replied, watching for the smallest tick in her countenance and she froze. " What?" " I don't know... That's what the camera says." Emma cocked her head sideways, " That's impossible. What cameras?"

Leonard was in his office, feeling a bit cranky and tired and he was unable to concentrate on what he was doing. Estelle barged into his office and he had to look up. "There's a reason that there is a door." "I know, I don't just want to knock. I came to speak to you. What happened to Emma? You've not reached out to her to know what is happening. Have you ever taken time to find out what actually happened? I don't think she's guilty or what do you think?" Leonard pretended to focus on what he was staring at as though she was disturbing him. "Is there a reason you don't want to reach out to her?" "Is there a reason you're refusing to see what she did? Would you be this lenient on another staff member?" He asked instead. "I don't know why you're not willing to try and work things out." She said and he shook his head. "I am still making sure that investigation goes on. I won't allow anything to stop me from the normal process. You should understand that people are two-faced, you

" What do you mean by that?" " Exactly what you heard brother. She's living with her boyfriend. He's ready to make sure that she gets the best treatment since the person she was slaving for didn't appreciate her." Estelle continued lying, enjoying the display of various emotions on Leonard's face. A few things managed to get to him, but he was fuming afterward. He wanted to smash the unfortunate being that had the guts and temerity to have anything to do with his Emma. Goodness, gracious. What made her his Emma. He was sure that she was probably also wondering what happened to him. If he was being honest, he overreacted and it was a problem to him because that meant that he had probably lost her for good and a stupid man was out that ready to snatch her away. " You don't need to frown. She's not yours and I would certainly not accept this if I were her because it's annoying to say the least. You called her various names without confirming that it was true. Only a woman with a lot

Leonard heard the door slam shut and he understood what was going on. There was only one explanation for that. His beloved's sister-in-law was hiding away from him. The funny thing was that it was under his nose. He would never have imagined that in his entire life hence the reason for him being pissed." Do you know how hard I looked for you?" He demanded as he yanked the door open forcefully. Emma stared at the man that she was falling for. " Good afternoon, Mr. Leonard." Leonard turned and saw his daughter's curious eyes staring at them. He was livid that Estelle was messing with his mind making him think violent thoughts when she was here all the while. His daughter was also the culprit. "Ava, excuse us." He ordered and the little girl obeyed immediately, vanishing from their presence like she was never there in the first place. He walked into the room and slammed the door shut. "So, what were you planning to achieve? Hide away from me throughout this lifetime? You should have

Leonard received a call immediately he arrived at his office that morning and hissed when he checked the ID caller. It was Mr. Griffin and he was a bit annoyed at the way he had been calling him." Hello, Mr. Griffin. How can I help you?" "I heard what my daughter did.""Okay," "But you can't send her to prison. That's impossible." He said and Leonard chuckled. " Let's have a discussion about this. I promise you. I understand everything that happens and I don't blame you but it would soil my daughter's image. How would you even think about sending her to jail without contacting me first." "Mr. Griffin, if you would just go straight to the point, I think we would all be better that way. But I really don't have the strength for this kind of argument today. What do you propose to do?" "I will compensate you for the damage my daughter has done. Tell me the value of that contract and I'd either send half the payment to you or help you get another one. Which do you prefer?" "Send my fu
