"Darling?" Elise repeated with an eyebrow raised, "Since when?"

"I'm equally as surprised as you are." Junior replied.

"Well, we'll soon show her how much of a darling you can." Elise said with a smirk. "And now, to the reason I'm here…"

However, before she could finish that sentence, Junior gently placed a finger on her lips, his playful eyes locking onto hers. A puzzled smile crept onto Elise's lips as she raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" she asked, her voice soft and curious.

Junior's gaze held a mischievous glint as he replied, "Have I told you how ravishing you look?" A faint blush spread across Elise's cheeks, the unexpected compliment catching her off guard.

She let out a light chuckle, feigning nonchalance. "Oh, come on, Junior. You're just being silly."

But he wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily. With a grin, he continued, "No, really. Your smile could outshine the sun, and those eyes... they hold galaxies within them."

Elise bit her lip, struggling to h

Junior said.Janet then moved over to join them with Jasmine right behind her."Without asking, I can tell you're having a wonderful time, Mrs Banks." Greg said."Sure, the party is simply delightful." Janet replied."If I may ask though, what was it you and your daughter found so hilarious? Care to fill me in?" Greg asked."Oh, it's nothing serious. We overheard your question and it made us chuckle." Janet answered."Why's that?" Greg inquired."Oh, Greg, I must start by saying that I am absolutely bursting with pride when it comes to my dear Junior," Janet began, her eyes sparkling with a mix of genuine affection and well-practiced charm.

    Jasmine was surprised by Greg's sudden question. Her eyes got bigger, like ripples in water, and her hazel irises looked lively. She was caught off guard, and her breath stopped briefly. Her face turned a little red, starting from her neck up to her cheeks. She looked confused, with her eyebrows coming together. In that still moment, her whole expression showed how mixed up she felt, surprised and a bit exposed.However, she quickly regained her composure. "I'm sorry, Greg, could you repeat your question?" She asked."I said, If you encouraged, loved and believed him so much, why then did you divorce him?" Greg repeated.Jasmine gazed into the distance, "You see," she began, "loving someone isn't always about holding onto them tightly. It's about understanding that sometimes, the best way to show your love is by letting them go. When I encouraged, loved, and believed in him, it wasn't with the intention of chaining him to me, but rather to see him thrive, even if it meant apart from

"The decorations, the music, everything is so well put together."Junior's face lit up with pride and gratitude. "Thank you, Mrs Anderson.

    "Oh no," Elise whispered.Elise's cheeks flushed, and she turned abruptly. "I... I need to go," she said.Junior's heart sank. "Wait, Elise," he pleaded softly. "Please don't go."Elise met his gaze, "it's getting really late, I need to go fetch my parents so we can leave."Junior sighed, Reluctantly, he nodded, his disappointment evident.

    It was Monday. As the sunlight streamed through the windows, Elise walked into the office with a radiant smile that seemed to rival the sun itself. Her heart fluttered with a mix of satisfaction and relief. The party the previous day had gone according to plan.Elise strode purposefully through the entrance, her heels clicking lightly against the polished marble floor. The buzz of the office was already in full swing, the hum of conversation and the clicking of keyboards filling the air. As she made her way to her desk, Mia, the newly employed secretary, approached her with a bright smile."Elise, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for inviting me to Mr Miller's party yesterday," Mia exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.Elise paused, returning Mia's smile warmly.

It's Mr Peterson." Elise said.Exactly five minutes later, there was a knock on the door and Mr Peterson walked in. Greetings were exchanged and soon, they got to business.Mr Peterson, a middle-aged man with a determined look, cleared his throat before speaking, "I've come to discuss something important." "I've been considering taking out a loan," Mr Peterson continued, "to start a small bakery that I've been dreaming of for years." His eyes lit up as he described the aroma of freshly baked bread and the delight on customers' faces.Elise leaned forward, intrigued, "That sounds wonderful, Mr Peterson. My parents own a bakery, so I can relate to most of the things you mentioned. But how can we help?""I was hoping that both of you could act as guarantors for the loan," he replied earnestly. "I've

    "I cannot deal with that man today, Elise, can you please meet him outside?" Junior pleaded."Sure." Elise replied with a chuckle.Mr Alan was a thorn in Junior's flesh. He knew Junior when he was still married to Jasmine.He always treated Junior kindly, as a result, when Junior assumed his position as Mansion Miller Junior, he had sought Mr Alan out and decided to help him, but it seemed his kindness was taken for granted.Several times, he had given Mr Alan money to support his family, but he always came back for more in less than a month.Junior decided to employ him as a store worker in one of his branches, unsurprisingly, Mr Alan became sick and by doctor's recommendation, he couldn't work anymore.Ever since, he had made it his duty to report to D'Miller brand and request for money. If it wasn't for his children's school fees, it was for utility bills or other expenses. Junior had offered him another job which wasn't too stressful, but he had turned it down, he was content wit

    "Vincent Vincenzo?" Junior yelled.They were sitting inside Junior's car in the parking lot at D'premium branch.Micah had arrived at work earlier than normal and he had called Elise and Junior to fill them in as usual."I can't believe it! Elise exclaimed."It all makes sense now." Junior mused. His eyes widened, pupils dilating as the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place. His brows furrowed, and a slow, subtle grin tugged at the corners of his lips. It was the expression of revelation, a mix of surprise and understanding, etched across his face like the first light of dawn breaking through the darkness."You know what? Things just got better." Junior said after a while."Everything ends today." Elise said."Everything ends today."

The air was thick with tension as guilt painted their expressions, a tableau of wrongdoing.Micah's voice sliced through the silence, demanding an explanation. The three of them exchanged furtive glances, unable to conjure a convincing response.

Mr Black just needs to think outside of the box to see it," a hint of mischief in his eyes.Ben was able to stiffle his laugh when he heard that statement, Kelly on the other hand couldn't help the smirk that formed on her face.

Kelly, however, simply brushed off the question, choosing to ignore him.Sensing a hint of tension, Ben interjected with a diplomatic suggestion.

The hum of speculation buzzed in the air.Micah, with a raised eyebrow, asked, "Any idea what this meeting could be about?"Kelly, tapping her pen against her notebook, shrugged. "Could be anything. Maybe they're finally addressing the mystery of the disappearing office supplies."Micah kept mute, feigning innocence and for the second time in less than 30 minutes, he raised an eyebrow at Kelly's casual remark.Micah, maintaining his compose

    It was way past closing hours and Micah was yet to see anything or be approached by anyone. He would have called it a day but he wasn't tired yet, also, he intended to fulfill his promise to Sam.To help him stay fully awake, he decided to get coffee. Thankfully, the building was empty, so he wasn't afraid of having a repeat of the incident which had happened the previous day.When he was getting closer to the storage room, Micah heard voices, he paused. The voices paused too.Micah simply shrugged and continued on his way, but then, he heard the voices again and decided to turn back.On tiptoes, Micah made his way to the door of the storage room. His hand trembled as it grasped the cold metal handle of the storage room door. The hinges creaked in protest as he slowly swung it open, revealing a scene that stole his breath. His eyes widened, pupils dilating in disbelief, as the stark fluorescent light spilled into the room, casting an eerie glow. A gasp escaped his lips, and for a mom

    Micah strolled into the company. He was just about to enter his work area when he was stopped by Mr Black."Good morning Sir." Micah said. However, he got no response."I completed Janet's task yesterday. You can go and confirm if you'd like. Also, I know the incident yesterday must have painted me in a bad light, but I want to assure you, that is not who I am. It was an accident, I am not clumsy and what happened yesterday will never repeat itself again."Mr Black just kept on staring at him, so he asked "Can I go now?" He didn't feel comfortable under the manager's intense scrutinizing gaze."Micah, what are you really doing here?" Mr Black finally asked."I beg your pardon?" Micah replied."I said, what are you really doing here?" The manager asked again.Micah's palms grew clammy as his manager's piercing gaze bore into him. The air seemed to thicken as he fumbled for words, anxiety tightening his throat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, betraying the composed facade he had

    "I have and in the most unfortunate circumstances." Micah replied.Letting out a chuckle, Kelly said, "I doubt there's anyone in this company who met Janet in fortunate circumstances. However, I'd like to hear your own unfortunate encounter, tell me all about it."Micah proceeded to tell her what had truly happened and when he was done, Kelly scoffed."There was really no point trying to explain your side of the story to Mr Black." She said."Why? What do you mean?" Micah asked curiously."For one thing, it's a known secret that Janet and Mr Black are in a relationship." Kelly answered.Micah's eyes shot up as realization dawned on him. "No wonder." He mused."Mr Black will always take Janet's side. So I'll advise you to try and avoid further encounters with her. Also, it's best if you head to her table first. In Fact, go right now and should also go along with two cups of coffee, you're going to need them." Kelly advised."And why's that?"
