Matilda spends almost a full hour in her office just staring motionlessly at the wall.

She is thinking about Angus and why an anonymous person is trying so hard to get him fired.

Angus is not a troublemaker or a lazy employee, he is one of the best accountants that she has seen in her life.

She randomly just got a message and now she is confused about what to do.

She knows that she has to protect Angus, she can't just let him take the blow for someone who isn't even brave enough to show their face.

She shrugs it off with an exhale and goes back to work, there is so much to do.

She is slowly getting immersed in work, but her phone loudly rings and breaks her concentration.

She looks at it, it's not a saved number, but nevertheless, she picks it up.

She immediately hears the raspy breathing at the other end, she immediately knows that it's trouble.

"Yes, who is this?"

"Oh, Matilda, I was trying to be nice by warning you first of all, but thank you for letting me know your sta

    Bryan knows that he has been caught, he looks around and sees the eager eyes of his colleagues watching him, and that of his boss too. He sneers at all of them. "Oh, I am the bad guy now?!" He yells. "I have been working my ass off for meager wages and so have all of you! All because of this woman and because I have tried to stand for my truth, I am a bad guy?!" They are looking calm, so he continues since they are following him. "There is more than she is keeping from us all, this company is going bankrupt under her watch!" He points at her. "She is incompetent and uses all our bonuses to buy herself a new car every year!" They nod because it's true, Matilda has been buying new cars very frequently.

    Angus looks at Matilda with a cheerful smile, he can tell that she feels sad, but he is going to cheer her up. "Don't worry, Matilda, I've got this." He says with a smile. "How though?" She gives a hopeless shrug. "Have you heard of Solomon Randolf?" He asks. "You mean the richest man in the country? Of course, I have heard of him." "What if I told you that I can get us a collaboration with them today?" Her face falls in shock. "That's some bullshit!" Bryan blurts. "Do you even know who Mister Solomon Randolf is, or have you just searched his name on the internet?" Bryan comes to stand directly in his face. "Randolf's company ranks the highest in the country, you must be joking if you think that they are going to help a small shitty company like this one." He sneers. His words discourage her and he can see Matilda losing what is left of her little faith. "What if I say I can get a representative of the company here…" Angus causally glances at his wristwatch. "An hour?" "I

    The place is so silent that if a pin drops on the ground, it will be heard by all. Joanna, Lorenzo, and the other man look around. The man who is a stranger to Angus clears his throat. "Excuse me, who is Angus Knighton?" They gasp in surprise as they part the way and Angus walks up to them. "That would be me." "Very good." The man says. "I am Leonard, the CEO of Randolf company, I believed that I've met your boss, Matilda before, but we didn't have the time to converse." Matilda is out of her office and her jaw immediately falls on the ground in surprise, she can't believe the people who were standing in front of her were real. "Leonard Woods! Oh my God!" She rushes to shake his hand. "You have no idea who I am, but I admire you very much!" "Thank you, madam." He smiles and bows to her. Her eyes shift to Lorenzo, they immediately dilate because she recognizes him because he is Mister Solomon Randolf's assistant, he is always next to him when he appears on the television. "And

    Angus draws a long sigh, this is the most empty that he has seen the general office. He is still finding it hard to believe that Matilda fired all of them – except him, of course. Even though it was sudden, he still supports her, they needed to go. He gives a soft knock on her office door before he walks through the door. Matilda is going through some files, a cigarette in between her index and middle finger, she is struggling with going through many papers at the same time. She glances at him and quickly smiles. "Angus, don't just stand there, come and give me a hand." He sits down and she shows him how to go through what's useful and what's not. She is trashing the files that belonged to the former employees and also the companies that left them. "This is going to be a new start for us." She says. "And finally, I will build this company to become as big as I have always dreamt." He nods. He wants that too for her, she is a very good person. Even though Angus has been tryi

    "Grandpa, I think the last thing I want right now is a company." Angus slides into a seat to rest. "Oh, I forgot. It's just a small company, you don't have time for that. After all, you are my only heir to the trillion-dollar group of companies that I own." It still sounds very foreign to Angus, he still can't believe that he is now very rich. His grandfather looks at him with fondness, fondness that he never gave to Angus all those years. "Something happened in my place of work," Angus says. "My boss fired everyone and left only me because I was the only one loyal to her." "Sounds like a boss girl." "Now she has suggested that I join as her partner now, she wants us to build the company." His grandfather comes to sit next to him and them together, they look at the beautiful scenery from the window. "My boy, Angus, I don't get why you want to struggle when you already have a big group of companies to inherit." His grandfather was stress. "Because I want to know what it feels

    Ashley is the first person to recover from the shock of seeing David. She immediately scoffs and looks at Quinton, as if to ask if he can believe his eyes. "Jesus Christ, Angus, don't tell me that you have been following around in a bid for me to reverse the divorce." She sneers. Angus is immediately smeared with shame, he sees the clerk laugh at him, and even the fat manager looks disturbed. " I am not here to beg you to take me back, Ashley, I am here because I want to buy a car." Ashley holds her hand over her mouth, she nudges Quinton and both of them openly laugh at Angus. "Ma'am, do you know this man?" The manager asks Ashley. "Yes, he is my poor ex-husband." She bitterly says. "I left him because he is not man enough to provide for me, and now he is going around the places to beg me." Angus is angry that she is telling a lie. "I have not come here for you, this is just a mere coincidence." Angus corrects her. "I am here to buy a car too." Quinton raises his nose in

From the garage, he walks into his house casually, but he almost jumps out of his skin when he notices Joanna sitting in his sitting room. "Jesus Christ, Joanna! What are you doing here?!" She has a magazine in her hand, which she lowers to look at him. "Oh, boss, you are back!" "How did you get into my house?" "There is more than one key to a house, Angus. I just had to speak sweetly to the manager." She winks. Angus places his hand over his head, he can't believe that man gave her a key to his house. Even though he isn't waiting for her, he still walks into his kitchen and returns with a glass of champagne. She takes it and sips from it. "Seriously, they wouldn't have given you a key to my

"If there is anyone who needs to leave my office now, you know that it's you, Mister Williams!" She hiss. "You are no longer welcome here, please leave."

"Have you lost your senses?!" The man quarreled with him. "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me in that manner?!" Matilda pushes against his chest, but he wouldn't budge. "Don't fuck wi

    Joanna has been waiting for this day for a long time. It was unfortunate that she didn't get her when the raid happened at her house and she fled with her father, but she is ready to shoot her down now. They all walk into the office and shut the door, but Joanna doesn't let her guard down, she is still holding the gun, pointing it at Diane. Diane laughs and throws her hands in the air, in mockery. “Still have an attitude, I see.” “Joanna, drop the gun,” Angus says to her. “This is not the time and place, you know it.” “After what she did to me, everywhere is the place and whenever is the time.” Diane smiles as she leans against the table, she is totally not moved by the gun in her face. Lorenzo has a face as stiff as Joanna's. He wants to kill Diane as much as Joanna wants to, but he knows that Diane is Angus' sister and he respects him too much to do that. “You think you can mess with just anyone you want, huh?” Joanna draws closer.“Angus, okay, I think you need to put this b

Jesus Christ!” She whimpers as she grabs the base of her belly. Angus rushes over to her, more confused than he has ever been in his life. She is suffering so much from the pain, that he has to sit down on the ground with her. She grabs his arm, squeezing the hell out of it as she bites down on her one hand. “Angus, it hurts!” Angus is so lost, that his brain has been wiped out. Everything has been arranged with the doctors and all, but he didn't expect her to go into labor so early. To be honest, he hasn't given himself a lecture on what to do when labor comes.

She has a scarf around her neck, luggage at her feet, and a bag in her hand. Angus can't move his tongue, he can't just believe the fact that Matilda is at his doorstep. After he begged and begged for her to come back with him.

The head of his security comes at him, with a confused look on his face. “I'm sorry sir, we were going to turn her back, but she was angry.” The man apologizes. “Timothy said that she's your wife…” “Timothy is right, that's my wife.” Fear covers the face of the man, he can't believe that he almost turned away the wife of his boss. He would have lost his job. “I'm sorry, sir…” “You don

    Angus has given this a good thought. He was going to leave her alone, but he decided against it. If there is one thing about Matilda that hasn't changed throughout the years, she can be as stubborn as a mule. If he lets her be, she is going to keep refusing to speak to him, even if it's going to break her down completely. She scoffs at his audacity to come up to her after she threatened to call the police. “Are you kidding me, Angus?” She frowns. “I am going to call the cops!”“Okay, Matilda, you can do that.” He shrugs. “Even if they arrest me, I'm going to just keep coming back, and guess who is going to get tired first?” She glares at him, squeezing her lips together. “You think you can bully me into forgiving you?” She puffs. “You think I'm going to fall for that?” Angus sighs, it seems that her stubbornness has increased over the months. “Look, Matilda, I've been getting your hospital reports.” He says. “Your doctor has advised that you are to be monitored as your date ge

    If she knows everything, if she has her full memory back, that means that there is nothing that Angus can do or say that is going to change her mind now. He has a long face, she is staring at him with her lower lip between her teeth. “Yeah, I know it all.” She lets out a painful chuckle. “I know that you worked for me, I know that I had a crazy fiance and I know that you killed him!” “Matilda….” “Oh, I sure as hell know that you are not seriously trying to speak now!” She silences him. “After all you have done?! Are you even serious?!” Angus looks down, running his hand through his face. Everything has crumbled to the ground, he knows that she is not going to forgive him. Can he even ask for her forgiveness? She walks around, looking at him with so much raging hate that she wants to punch his face. “You abandoned me when Greg fucking shot me!” She screams. “What kind of psycho are you?!” “Matilda, you don't understand!” He tells her. “Did you realize that everyone around me w
