It was Brax Connelly. He answered and set the phone against his ear as he walked to the sitting room.

"Good morning, sir." Brax said immediately. He sounded a bit uncertain, fro whatever reason.

"You can call me Gavin, Brax. Good morning." He replied dryly. He was now standing at one of the windows in the sitting room, watching the environment. It was serene.

"Oh! Alright." He said in a sheepish tone. He didn't sound arrogant at all. Why would he when he was talking to his boss?

"I wasn't expecting your call. Is everything alright at the office?"

"Oh, yes. Everything is fine. I just called to know how you were doing. After what happened, I..."

"I'm alright." He answered immediately. Thoughts of what happened between him and Meghan crossed his mind for a moment, but he pushed it aside. "Very alright, actually. And you? How are you doing?"

"I'm okay, sir."

"That's good. Well, I'd like to thank you once more for what you did the other day, and thank you for calling to check up on me."

    Meghan arrived at the office barely an hour after she left the house. Throughout her journey to work, all she could think about was what Gavin had said to her. Everyday, it just seemed like he was giving her more reasons to despise him, more reasons to be irritated by his presence. He had just broke the most delusional news to her with the most serious look on his face. She had put her bag away, and was ready to work on the job for the day. Just as she was about to settle down and begin, her mom walked in."Oh, hi mom. Good morning." She smiled and walked over to her, placing a light kiss on her cheek. Just then, Sophie walked in as well with her arms folded over each other. "I wasn't expecting to see you two today." She said as she walked back to her seat. "Of course, you weren't expecting us." Mrs Stallion said with a blank expression on her face. "Why would you?""It's not that, mom. I guess I was just...""Don't worry about explaining. I don't need to hear it.""Good morning." S

    Gavin was late. He showed up in his usual wears, strolling into the company's vicinity with his hands stabbed into his pockets. The other workers looked at him, and wondered why he was strolling casually into the vicinity in the manner he was, when he had gone missing from work for sometime. It was day time so his post was in the department of logistics where he was a delivery man."Hey, Gavin" one or the men called out. He was tall and lanky, with a look of detest in his eyes. "You have got a lot of nerve strolling in here like that. You have got to go see the boss."Gavin did not give him any words of reply. He knew he had to go see the boss anyway. He merely nodded and went on his way to the office.Opening the door he found a blond haired man with very round spectacles trying to reach out to some object he kept on the top shelf of a cupboard. It was a book and the door opening seemed to have startled the man, having the book fall down. But before it could reach the floor, Gavin

    "Look at him," one of the security guards chided, pointing a finger in the direction of Gavin who had almost been knocked down into the floor. "I told you that he would be chased out of the office. Did I not bet on it?"The other security guards laughed. It seemed they had all placed bets on whether or not Gavin would be chased out, and the winner was about to get paid for betting right. They laughed despite that most of them were losing money to the one who had won the bet.Gavin felt angered and stared daggers into their souls. One of the men stood up."Oh, you look angry. What are you even going to do about it, you bloke? Can you even do anything about it?"Gavin stood upright. "And why do you think I want to do anything about it?" he asked, smirking despite the situation that he was in. "Some things are left broken. They cannot get fixed. Things like the lot of you."The security guards and the other delivery guys were awed at Gavin's bravery. His words had indeed stung so much t

    Her eyes focused on a piece of paper before her. It appeared to be a document that she was reading through. But she was not as focused as one would think. Yes, her eyes were pinned on that piece of paper, but her mind wasn't. And this was because of what had happened earlier. Although it had been hours after her mother left, Meghan could not get what she had said off her mind. She was not surprised at how her mother acted because she knew that she was always that way when it had to do with Gavin. She was already used to her family looking down on him,and cussing her out because she choose to be with him, even after everything. But at this point, she did not mind.And honestly, she did not have much to worry about in respect to Gavin. He was her husband and she wanted to be with him, so nothing could change that. But the problem was the assignment. How on earth was she supposed to bring in a meaningful investment just like that? She sighed, turning her focus from the piece of paper to

    "Umm..." She cleared her throat. "Can I have a..." As Sophie spoke to the waiter, Meghan watched skillfully. There was a lot going through her mind at that moment, but she was able to hold it in."Do you want anything, ma'am?" The waiter asked as he faced her. Sophie was clearly done placing her order, so it seemed right of him to ask."No." She shook her head immediately and sat upright. The waiter left at once and Sophie turned to face her sister."So sorry I interrupted in that manner. I'm starving. Now, what were you saying?""I really need your help, Sophie." She sighed, her voice almost helpless. "You know how important this assignment is to mom and dad. I wouldn't want to disappoint them. And most of all, I wouldn't want to be fired from the family company. I'm sure you understand.""You're totally right. I understand you. But you know what I do not seem to understand till this very moment? Your relationship with that glorified pauper. I mean why...""Sophie, please. This isn't

    About two hours later, Sophie walked into the office hurriedly. With her whole countenance, one would think she was being chased after. She went straight into Meghan's office."Hey you." Meghan smiled as she saw her come in. But as she got closer, the smile dissolved into an uncertain look. "What's wrong?" She asked in concern."We need to go, now!" She emphasized on the last word so much that Meghan was confused. "Go where?" Meghan asked immediately, now ignoring everything she was doing before Sophie came in. "Where I told you about..." She placed both her hands on the desk authoritatively. Meghan still seemed lost so she continued. "Your assignment.""Oh, oh!" Meghan exclaimed, her eyes wide with realization. "Now? Why the hurry?" She asked as she slipped some items into her bag. "Do you want to get this over with or not? Let's go already." Sophie emphasized as she began walking towards the exit of the office."Okay, okay." She agreed and followed behind her. The two ladies got

    Good morning, miss. How are you doing?" Mr Adrian said calmly with a smile. His eyes caught sight of Meghan immediately because she was still on her feet. A huge smile swam across his cheek as he stared at her. "Please, have a seat. Good morning.""Good morning, sir." She said almost shyly as she took the next empty seat."Who is this beautiful lady, Sophie?" He asked, his eyes not leaving her face. Meghan clutched the handle of her little bag softly, trying to find comfort in it."This is my sister, Meghan Stallion." She smiled dryly and looked at Meghan from the side of her eyes. Meghan had a place smile on her face as she reminisced all the things her sister had said before coming in. Play along! Play along!! She kept repeating those words in her mind."Wow! I didn't even know you had a sister. Or even one as beautiful as she is." His eyes were still on Meghan as he spoke. "Meghan, this is Mr Adrian, the director of logistics. Mr Adrian is the person I told you about.""Wait..." H

    Mr. Adrian did not give it much thought when the women laid down the reasons for coming, he did not even want to give it much thought. He immediately reached out his hand to the cupboard of his table. "If it is investment you want from us, then for sure, just know that you have gotten it. There is no need to make a woman as pretty as you are, stressed. Whatever you need, so long as I am here, you can get it."Meghan was still shocked at the behavior of the director of logistics. He did not act like what she had expected from a man working in such an officer of very good repute."Mr. Director, sir..." Meghan began but got cut off in her speech by him."It's Mr. Adrian to you, please. I have no intention of making you talk to me so formally. You should know that by now. I want you to be free with me, Ms. Meghan. You aren't a mrs right? I mean is there a Mister Meghan somewhere? Does the Stallion family have another son in-law?""Actually..."

As soon as the delegates entered the room where they were waiting, the marking team informed them that they were clearly taken aback to see them enter rather than Gavin."Another test?"

Then he asked her why Gavin gave her an emerald pendant, which surprised Meghan because she had not told anyone about it except the commander who saw it, but the news had spread quickly and now the fixer was aware of it."What exactly did he tell you the pendant was for?" The fixer inquired of Meghan to see if she remembered who Gavin was and what their relationship meant to them."No, he said it was a reward for saving his life; should I return it and hope I do not get into trouble for accepting it?"
