One could feel the tension in the office, but Andrew ignored both women as he gazed at his laptop screen, his eyes not seeing anything,The stifling silence that had descended upon the room was interrupted by the gentle sound of a notification on the laptop. Across from him, Cassandra sat with her arms crossed firmly and her fingers tapping angrily on her forearm, occasionally darting a glare in Mia’s direction,Harold paced the room, the soft carpet underneath him absorbing his footsteps."Fuck it, Andrew," Cassandra suddenly yelled, her piercing tone breaking the tension, she was done playing the good fianceé role, she couldn't fathom how Andrew could have been blinded by whatever to the extent that a crime of this magnitude was going on under him and he didn't have a clue. If those officials hadn't said anything, the crime would have gone on for longer."How could you have allowed this to occur? Are you aware of how terrible this is for us?” she fired at him, glaring intently,Andr

As the investigation increased, the tension in the mayoral office increased to a palpable length as well. As the team intensified their search by closely examining the suspect list, the case was becoming increasingly complex,As Andrew followed up with the investigation, he didn't want to come to the understanding that the man had labeled a villain, incompetent might not be anything close to that, and Andrew found himself struggling with that,And everything was in danger of collapsing due to Caleb's schemes that were working behind the scenes.Just as they continued to look through the file of the past mayor and people who had log-in details, they discovered something that left them with widened eyes and gaping mouths,“This can’t be true, …… Richard Day!”For a while, the room was silent, the only sound emanating out was that of the computer whirring, Andrew sat in front of the computer, his eyes widening as he watched the screen with a stilled breath,Andrew covered his mouth with

Andrew was tired and bleary-eyed as he sat at his desk the next morning; the investigation's burden was becoming too much to bear. He hadn't envisaged such a daunting task when he agreed to overthrow Richard, he had thought it was all going to be easy,At that moment, Cassandra waltzed in, her expression neutral as she walked, as her gaze landed on him, she smirked,"You look terrible," her tone was devoid of concern."Thank you," Andrew responded gruffly,"I've spent the entire night attempting to put this mess together."Shooting her brows up, Cassandra crossed her arms and remarked, "Well, you'd better figure it out soon. The media won't remain silent for very long.”If he heard her words, he didn't say anything as he ignored her and stared ok the opened file on his computer, drumming his fingers absentmindedly on his table surface,The situation was turning into an unsolved riddle, one that was tormenting his mind, the offshore account staring back at him as if mocking him. Silen

Richard set out from his cell to meet up with Caleb at his described location, Vivienne following behind. The tablet in his hand vibrated as a new message popped on the screen; another from Caleb,[Place the money in a black-coloured duffel bag. It should be placed in the garbage bin next to the old convenience store on 12th Street. There are no tricks, you’re not being followed. If I even suspect something is wrong, the entire world will know about the offshore account.]Richard read the message again, and a giggle escaped from his mouth. His eyes narrowed; ‘The audacity’ he mused amusingly,From where she stood near the car, arms crossed over her chest, Vivienne remarked, “You’re smiling.” Though she couldn’t go with him to the drop site, she had insisted on accompanying him to the jail’s exit,“Whoever’s on the other end of that smile, that’s never good.”Richard chuckled low, the sound emanating from his throat, it was funny how Caleb thought he held all the cards; how he could

"Get up," Richard said simply,Caleb hesitated before reaching for the offered hand, Richard pulled him to his feet with surprising ease.Richard didn't fail to notice the shock on Caleb's face, and he smirked within him. Although he didn't approve of the man's method, he could understand his desperation; he was willing to look over Caleb's wife but decided against it as he was still enjoying his ‘holiday’."You’ve made a mistake," he began, his tone calm but forceful,"But I’m willing to overlook it on one condition.""Anything," Caleb answered hurriedly, his voice shaky, "I’ll do anything.""You’re going to work for me now," Richard announced with a firm voice,"You’re going to be my eyes and ears in the mayor’s office. Every conversation, every meeting, every plan, anything involving Cassandra, Harold or Andrew I want to know about it. Do that, and I’ll make sure your wife gets the operation she needs."Caleb's eyes went wide, his lips parting and then snapping shut, like some fish
