ONE MONTH LATER: WAYNE.A month after thousands of people were interviewed to work in Wayne's car company, only a few were chosen.Talia was still working as manager, while Ruby also kept her position as P.A. (personal assistant).Wayne was in his office going through some papers when Ruby walked into his office without knocking. Wayne looked up to see that it was Ruby."Did you just barge into my office without knocking?" Wayne asked."I'm so sorry sir, I honestly forgot to knock," Ruby muttered."But I've seen Talia walk in without knocking before," Ruby muttered in a low tone, but it wasn't low enough because Wayne heard her."What did you just say?" Wayne frowned at her."No, I...""You know what? I want you to hand in your resignation by tomorrow morning, you should know that you're not here for jokes or any kind of competition and more importantly I won't let you disrespect me." Wayne scolded."Please boss, I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again, please, don't fire me, pl
"Ruby, I need you to come over to my office right away," Wayne said into the phone. And within a few minutes Wayne heard a knock at his door, it was Ruby."Come in," Wayne said bluntly."S-sir, you wanted to see me," Ruby mumbled."What does that mean, huh? Tell me," Wayne said assertively, there was seriousness in his voice. Hearing Wayne sound like that, Ruby began to tremble with fear.She stretched her head a little to get a glimpse of what Wayne was showing her, because she was too scared to get close to Wayne. When she saw the papers on Wayne's table, her eyes widened in shock."Sir, I don't know what you're talking about," she lied. Wayne laughed and put his hand to his forehead, then looked up at her."Are you joking with me?" Wayne asked."No, no sir, I swear I don't know what you're talking about." "Well that's fine, I'll remind you. Now, these are the documents I asked you to go through, and looking at these files you knew it would take you weeks to finish going through th
The man stood in front of Mrs Emilia's front door and motioned for her to wind it down, at first Mrs Emilia hesitated, but when she saw the man pull a gun from his trousers and point it directly at Mrs Emilia, fear gripped her, knowing that with one shot it could penetrate, as her car wasn't bulletproof. She rolled down the glass of her front door as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out a cloud of smoke that blurred Mrs Emilia's vision for a few seconds."You must be Mr Cooper's wife?" The man asked."Y-yes, what do you want? We don't owe anyone any money." Mrs Emilia said in a trembling tone."Well that's not why I'm here old woman, no I want you to get out of your car and come with us, my boss wants to have a word with you," Thean gave a sly grin."A word with me, why?" Mrs Emilia asked badly as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out much more smoke than before, making Mrs Emilia cough and choke."Well, that question would be f
"Why do you stutter? Or do you know something about it? Tell me! What are you hiding from me?" Mrs Laurette asked assertively."Look Mrs Laurette, I..." "Doctor Millian, please come with me, we have an emergency, please hurry sir, it's urgent," a nurse burst into the room."Mrs Laurette, please understand that I am only doing my job, take care," Doctor Millian said and then left the room."B-but you haven't answered mine," Mrs Laurette muttered."What now? Huh? I can't believe you're not done being delusional," Mr Oliver grumbled."Didn't you see the way he reacted to my question, he knows something, I'm sure he knows something," Mrs Laurette muttered."Can someone just tell me what's going on here, I still haven't got an answer as to what the hell I'm doing herding," Amber growled."Your mum's totally off her rocker, I think I need to call dad, I can't keep up with this," Mr Oliver walked out in a huff.*****THE NEXT DAY: MR COOPER & MRS EMILIA."You must be joking, tell me this i
"I'm sorry you didn't know this before, Nathan, but Amber is your daughter," Mrs Emilia muttered."Daughter?" Mr Nathan muttered."It's a long story son," Mr Cooper said."Well, I still need to know, damn it! It can't be true," Mr Nathan laughed bitterly, as if realising what he had just been told."How? And why are you telling me this now?" Mr Nathan asked."Because we only found out a few days ago," Mr Emilia replied."Amber, do you know about this?" Mr Nathan asked Amber and Amber shrugged her shoulders."I don't even know who I am, not even my name, let alone who my parents are or were. All I know is that I found myself in a hospital, with a man and a woman claiming to be my parents, and now I am sitting in front of a man who has just been told that he is my father, tell me what else to believe?" Amber grumbles."What is she talking about?" Mr Nathan asked."Son, I think you should sit down, I'm fine and I don't have any heart ailments," Mr Cooper managed to sit up, then adjusted
"Wh-who is this," Mrs Emilia stammered, pretending not to know who the caller was."Look old woman, I didn't let you go for no reason, we had a deal and I spared your life because in a few years you would be dead soon, but don't make me hasten your death, don't taste my patience, now listen, I give you three days to find his address and send it to me," the man said then hung up."I told you, I don't know where he is, I really don't, I've tried looking for him but... Hello?" Mrs Emilia hadn't finished talking when the caller hung up."I'm so fucked up right now, how am I going to find that son of a bitch," Mrs Emilia growled.*****AT THE OFFICE: WAYNE."Alright, I'll send you the pictures of the Lamborghinis that are available," Wayne was on the phone with a buyer who wanted to buy two Lamborghinis from Wayne's company, he heard a knock on his door."All right, I'll see you soon, thank you, yes, bye," Wayne said then hung up."Come in," Wayne instructed."Good afternoon sir, how was y
"Father," Mr Oliver called to his father, who was about to leave. Mr Cooper turned to Mr Oliver."Yes?" Mr Cooper replied, then stood up and waited for Mr Oliver to come to where he was standing."There is something I would like to discuss with you," Mr Oliver muttered, looking back suspiciously as if he were hiding something."What is it?" Mr Cooper asked, this time in a lower tone because he didn't want Mr Oliver to hear him."Where are you going?" Mr Oliver asked."To the hospital of course, I have to go for my check-up," Mr Cooper grumbled."Well, how about I take you instead?""But I already called the driver," Mr Cooper muttered."The driver can go back in, I need to talk to you privately, so why don't I take you for your check-up while we talk about this," Oliver insisted."I hope it's not something that's going to raise my blood pressure, you know I'm old now, I don't entertain bad news any more," "Dad, enough with the rumbling, your blood pressure won't rise, it's just a nor
Mrs Emilia ran downstairs to the living room, where Amber was sitting on the couch, her eyes glued to the television. "Hey, have you seen your grandpa?" Mrs Emilia asked. Amber shrugged, her eyes still focused on the TV. "You bastard, how dare you ignore me?" Mrs Emilia growled. "I didn't ignore you, I just said I don't know where he is, I didn't see him this morning," Amber explained, her eyes on Mrs Emilia this time. "Why are you always getting on my nerves?" Mrs Emilia asked, glaring at Amber in disgust. "But what have I done wrong?" Amber asked. "Yes, what did she do wrong?" Mrs Laurette interrupted. "Excuse me?" Mrs Emilia asked. "I heard everything she said, she doesn't know where he is, so why are you insulting her?" Mrs Laurette muttered. "Who gave you the idea to interfere? Or have you gone mad?" Mrs Emilia growled at Mrs Laurette. What do you mean, interfere? Don't I have the right to know why you're scolding my daughter?" Mrs Laurette defended herself.
