Tony's gaze flickered between Mariam and Hannah, his expression serious as he sought to hold their attention. Clearing his throat, he began, "I called you both here because..." His words trailed off as he allowed the dramatic pause to sink in.Tony spoke with an air of authority, his voice steady and commanding. "I've decided that both of you will be working together. Hannah will assume the role of managing director, while Mariam will assist her, gaining a deeper understanding of the company's affairs," he explained, his tone leaving no room for argument. With the company returning to normal operations, Tony wanted Mariam to learn the business under Hannah's guidance, providing her with the experience and knowledge necessary to fully comprehend the scope of their work."Understand that you will be reporting directly to me," Tony continued, addressing Hannah directly.

"I love you Tony and I want you, please make me feel like a woman, don't reject me," Mariam responded, her eyes were pleading and she looked so innocent and vulnerable at that very moment.Tony was shocked to his marrow and his eyes curved in disbelief. He had made sure not to lead Mariam on or pose any kind of hope towards her since he was sure he wasn't in love with her.

Tony sat tirelessly in his office with the thought of Helen racing through his mind. He couldn't stop pondering about all Helen said and the possibility that he was the father of her child. Thoughts of the future and what it could mean for both of them swirled in his head, since he hated Helen, she was still the woman he loved and he couldn't bring himself to be with another.The beep from his phone brought his mind back to reality, he instantly picked up the phone from his desk and stared curiously at the unknown number."Hello," He said the very instant he picked up the phone, his voice husky and deep radiating his usual powerful demeanor."Tony Eduardo?" The stranger asked with a sense of urgency laced to his voice, he seemed like one in a hurry.

Tony arrived at the entrance of his company and was met by a series of reporters who wandered around the company area. They were littered around and waited like one who was on a mission.The very instant they sighted his car, they immediately stood at all corners restricting him from any form of movement. Tony's guards forcibly opened the door and created a slim passage for him. Tony felt swamped by the reporters and frustrated as they bombarded him with questions. "Mr . Tony Ed.uardo, what do you have to say concerning Mr Martin's accusations concerning you?" the reporters questioned, their voices ringing like a bell as Tony grappled forcefully to exit their mist."Is Mr Martin Fernando telling the truth concerning the fact that you're uneducated and fit to oversee the affairs of the company?"
