She took the cover used in previously covering their food and covered Georgina's plate to avoid getting cold.“I wish I could call her and speak some sense into her but she left her phone here!” Agatha mumbled wryly as she glanced briefly at Georgina's phone.“What could they be talking about?” Agatha wondered as she looked on.“It's nice to meet you, Georgina.”Zara started as she stared intently at Georgina's brown eyes. Meanwhile, Georgina cursed under her breath, she didn't want to reply, neither did she want to start a conversation with her, but she had to keep her face.“Nice to meet you too, Zara,” Georgina replied, forcing the last words aggressively.“It's good to know that even after the divorce, you both work in the same company, keeping your differences aside. That's maturity, I must commend you.” Za

He found a lady whose frustrations and fright were evident on her body.Jake looked around and was surprised to no one running Helter skelter or looking confused.

The woman stepped back with fear in her eyes.“You would soon be on fire. Can't you see?” The woman asked hysterically as she glanced at Zara who just came out of the room too. She looked at the woman and began wondering what she was saying.“Is she okay?” Zara whispered as she held Jake's elbow to calm him down.“

Her eyes landed on the mail, the congratulatory message to Jake as he was getting married.“Wh..who sent this?” Georgina stammered as she asked Agatha. “It's from his secretary. Jake told him so.” Agatha stated and looked at her friend worriedly. “It's a lie, no… this.. argh!” Georgina yelled angrily as she threw the phone to the floor. Agatha's eyes bulged in shock as she watched her phone shatter in pieces.“What the fuck have you done to my phone! Can't you control your anger?” Agatha asked angrily as she glared at Georgina. She rushed over to her phone on the ground and picked them up. Likewise, she turned around and found Georgina walking out of the department furiously.“Where the hell are you going?” Agatha asked and Georgina paused in her tracks and looked back at Agatha.“I'm goin

“Are you telling me we are a hundred thousand dollars rich?” Max asked in excitement and Zara nodded. Max jumped up with so much jubilation and Zara laughed aloud. “But that won't change the fact that the idiot tried molesting you.” Mr Gabriel frowned. He didn't know if he should be happy that his daughter got compensated instead of taking the matter seriously.“And Jake? Wasn't he there? Couldn't he raise the matter to court?” He continued as he sat on the old cushion. He sighed helplessly and closed his eyes.“Actually Dad.” Zara started as she sat beside Mr Gabriel.” Jake pounced on him, he almost got him killed if not for my intervention .” “ intervain?

I have some questions to ask concerning Zara's case.” Mike spoke and Detective Paul nodded.

What did you do?” Jake asked and her breathing changed to a heavy one.“I don't know what I have done,” Claire stated“You went to see the doctor without me Again. Why do I have to find out through the doctor!” Jake yelled and Claire heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness that wasn't what Jake wanted to say.
