The evening son was almost setting when they arrived and the sleek black porsche pulled up to the airport terminal meant for VIPs.Mello stepped out, his expression a mix of pride and sadness.

(The next morning)NEW YORKIt was the last day of the Shopping mall project and as Sir Barnes arrived at the construction site to oversee the work himself, he was greeted by the sight of his workers toiling diligently and he felt pleased.His gaze swept over the nearly completed shopping mall with a mixture of pride and satisfaction.The sleek lines of the huge building rose proudly into the sky, its facade gleaming in the morning sunlight.

Sir Barnes barged angrily into his fancy office with pain in his eyes.Sunlight flooded through huge windows, making everything feel warm and alive, a contrast to the way he felt inside.He sat at his shiny desk, thinking hard about how to tell the board in Los Angeles what was happening. He had sent a letter to the headquarters saying the shopping mall had been completed and now , the only thing that laid is in ruins. He pondered with regret over how to break the news to the Group that the grand opening of the shopping mall couldn't happen as planned tomorrow. Anger pulsed through him at the thought of facing the shame of disappointing not only Mello but also the entire board. With grave pain, he turned to his computer, his eyes fixed on the live feed from the security cameras positioned throughout the shopping mall.He sighed, his fingers trembling as he navigated through the security footage of the shopping mall, studying how everything capsized in just few minutes of the invas
( Back at Lisa's apartment)In the quiet of her bedroom, bathed in the soft morning light flooding through her curtains, Lisa sat before her wall mirror, a smile gracing her lips as she deftly applied her makeup.With a smile tugging at her lips, she hummed a tune, the melody dancing through the air as she dusted the colors on her face.It was her first modelling job after a month of reclusion and she decided to give in her best to look good.Her friend Jessica had left to work early that morning leaving behind a comforting presence which lingered around Lisa.They had been together ever since Mello left, caring for her and helped her go through the bad times until she healed from the heart pains.She let out a sigh, then smiled at the woman staring back at her in the mirror.It had been a month and she had decided to move on from the pain of her failed relationship with Mello and went back to her career as a model, thanks to Jessica's encouragement, she had found the courage to pick
Ray let out a sigh, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings as he descended down the airplane's stairs.New country.New air.New everything.He thought to himself while taking a big chunk of the refreshing air.He looked around and saw few people walking around, with none of them paying him the slightest of attention.He looked around again and that was when he noticed he was in the VIP zone.He sighed gently when he realized Pa Kemps might have forgotten to arrange someone to get him.He took his briefcase and moved forward toward the exit door and that was when a flight attendant came to him smiling." Mr Ray. This way, please." She said and he nodded gently before proceeding to follow her.They both walked out of the VIP zone and made their way through the main arrival area that was filled with people.As he proceeded, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. People seemed to part around him, giving him a wide range as he moved through the crowd. It was as if an invisibl
" Good but we still have to be careful" Perry said" This plan has a 78% failure rate meaning the success rate is just 12% which is too low to rely on" he added.Ray smiled." Well, who said it was going to be easy anyway. The risk all together makes it exhilarating, don't you think?" Ray laughed to himself.Glory joined in the laugh." Well, I'll inform the boys to keep trying to breach the system, who knows, there might be able to see a crack "" Perfect, this plan is just the best. I'll give you all till tomorrow to find out when the hospital receives its drugs from the pharmaticals, the delivery routes and times the delivery is made and the process it undergoes before it fully land inside Ashley health center.

" Be rest assured, Perry, We are all going to enjoy this" Ray said and smiled." Well I'll tak
( Some minutes later )Lisa stepped into the grand venue of the fashion gala, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. As she made her way through the crowd, heads turned, and whispers followed. As Lisa mingled among the guests, her manager approached with a sense of urgency. With a discreet nod and a gentle touch on her arm, he conveyed that it was time for her to take the stage.Lisa nodded in understanding, her heart pounding with anticipation. With a final sip from her glass, she set the glass down and gracefully made her way towards the stage entrance.At the backstage, Lisa stood in front of a full-length mirror and meticulously adjusted her dress, ensuring every fold and seam lay perfectly against her frame. With a final glance at her reflection, she smoothed down her hair and took a deep breath. As she stepped onto the stage, the spotlight enveloped her in its warm embrace and she made her way down the runway. The audience fell silent, their eyes fixated on her
