It was a cool evening

Elise definitely did not like Xavier, but she couldn't deny that his choice of hang out spots were always top notch

She had gotten off work about thirty minutes ago and Xavier had asked her to meet him up

The place they had met up was a serene environment perfect for an evening hangout

The park was quiet and peaceful and had a beautiful view. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty to admire

She and Xavier were sitted on a grassy field with a few scattered trees and some flowers blooming

The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm, orange glow over the landscape. The air was still and calm, with only a light breeze blowing gently through the trees

In the distance, Elise could hear the gentle sound of a stream trickling softly, adding to the tranquil atmosphere

As Elise sipped on her cold drink and munched on the snack that Xavier had gotten them, she couldn't help but picture coming back to this park with someone she truly loved and cared for

As the sun

    Awkward silence That was what filled the office when Elise and Junior returned. It was clear they both had so much to say and questions to ask, but who would say something first?The silence lingered longer than it should, creating a palpable sense of discomfort and tension between both of themDespite being in such close proximity, they avoided making eye contact They were both searching for something to say but struggled to come up with anything, leading to further silenceThe absence of conversation was particularly noticeable because of the previously lively discussions they were having before Bianca left The silence seemed to stretch on endlessly, making Elise and Junior feel awkward and uneasyOverall, the silence felt like an eternity, and Junior decided to break it"So, how's it going with the LXY project? I haven't heard any updates recently" Junior asked"Sorry?" Elise responded"The LXY project" Junior repeated"Yes, about that, we've been making good progress. We have

    "How was your day?" Bianca asked"It was okay. I've been working on different business ideas and seeing which would work best in different geographical locations" Xavier said"What a lying bastard" Bianca was tempted to say, however she didn't"That's good. I'm so proud of you. You just got laid off and you're already working on something new. You're such a hard worker" Bianca replied"Thank you. I'm working hard so I can be the type of man you deserve" Xavier respondedBianca didn't respond to that, she simply smiled. She proceeded to tell him how her day went, but soon, it was clear Xavier was getting anxious and boredBianca was surprised she didn't notice how he easily got bored when he was with her. How could she have missed it? He wasn't even trying to hide itHe kept looking away and avoiding eye contact, he was fidgeting and shifting in his seatWhenever he felt she was talking for too long, he kept Interrupting or finishing her sentences in an attempt to speed up the conversa

    "I can explain!It's not what it seems like. I know I went to her place without telling you, but trust me, there's an explanation for that" Xavier saidBianca ended the recording which was playing, crossed her legs and focused her attention completely on Xavier, from her facial expression, it was clear she didn't believe him"Xav, I never said it was you and the recording has not even gone half way, what exactly isn't what it seems and why're you trying to explain when I haven't asked for an explanation?" Bianca asked"Baby, please. We both know that's my voice and that's Alma's voice. I can't believe she was recording us!" Xavier screamed"Why do you seem so bothered by the fact that she was recording the conversation? Did you say something you don't want me to know?" Bianca asked"Of course not, whatever I said at her place that day, I can always say it to your face. Bianca, please tell me, what exactly did she tell you and how much of our conversation from that day did she record?"

    Bianca stumbled out of the dimly lit bar, her face contorted with anguish. Tear-stained trails streaked her cheeks, mingling with the remnants of once-flawless makeup. Her chest heaved with every breath as she fought to contain the sobs that threatened to escape her trembling lips. With disheveled hair cascading around her face, she appeared as a tragic figure caught in the midst of a personal stormHer eyes, usually vibrant and full of life, now held a profound sadness within them. They glistened with unshed tears, reflecting the pain that consumed her soul. The weight of heartbreak bore down on her shoulders, causing her once-confident posture to slump in defeat. Each step she took seemed to carry the burden of shattered dreams and lost loveHer attire, once meticulously chosen, now looked haphazard and disarrayed. The elegant dress that once accentuated her curves now clung to her form as if it mirrored her vulnerability. Her high heel clicked against the pavement, echoing the empt

    "My 3 o'clock appointment? Bianca, what're you talking about?" Xavier asked"You heard me clearly. You can get the money to offset your debt from your 3 o'clock appointment. You were in such a hurry to meet up with this person, I'm sure the person can be of assistance to you" Bianca answered"Bianca, you've gotten it all wrong. The person I'm supposed to meet with isn't personal, it's work related" Xavier said"Just stop, please. You made it clear that work isn't your thing, so, why the lie?" Bianca askedXavier paused, he knew he wouldn't easily get out of this one, even if Bianca broke up with him, there was no way he would allow her take the money with herHe stood nervously, his body language reflecting a mix of anxiety and desperation. His eyes dart around, searching for the right words, while his hands fidget, betraying his inner turmoil"I'm seeing a relative of mine. She's someone related to my mum and she agreed to help my parents. I'm supposed to meet with her and finaliz

    "My what?" Xavier asked"Behind you" Bianca repliedXavier turned and noticed the car that just drove in, at first, he thought that the car looked familiar and soon, he remembered why, however, he kept muttering a silent prayer to God, begging him that he should be wrong about the owner of the carSuddenly, the car door was open and a lady stepped out, Xavier kept looking at her feet, the sound of her heels was the only sound Xavier could hear at that momentXavier's heart raced as he scanned the parking lot, desperately trying to find an escape. He had been weaving a web of lies, carefully constructing a facade to protect his secrets, but now his worst fear was about to come trueHe finally gained the courage and he looked at the face of the lady walking towards them, it was a lady with piercing eyes and an unwavering gaze—a person they never expected to see, Elise ChapmanAs she walked towards them, Elise possessed an air of discernment, an aura that hinted at her ability to see thr

    "To true friendship" Junior said"To true friendship" Elise echoed"Cheers" Bianca said and the three of them clinked their glassesBianca and Elise met up with Junior and the three of them agreed to have a drink to celebrate their victory against, not just Xavier, but the entire Harkin familyThe atmosphere was filled with a mix of emotions and dynamics. The energy in the air is charged, a potent combination of relief, vindication, and perhaps a tinge of lingering skepticism on the part of Bianca"You guys have no idea just how glad I am that the charade is over, finally, I rest without worrying about getting a call from that imbecile" Elise saidBianca concurred. There was a collective sense of relief among the three of them, as they have successfully revealed the truth and brought Xavier's deceptive actions to lightBetween Junior and Elise, their shared experience of uncovering the lies strengthened their bond, reaffirming their trust in each other and their ability to rely on one

    "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."

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

    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?"
