Derek sits back to ponder on this, it's gonna be true what Jaria is telling him, he believes it but reasons what he is gonna do to salvage the situation."What am I gonna do?" He raises his head to ask."I think you will have to make a proper audit of all the workers you have in this establishment, employ expert auditors, they will carry out the work for you. You don't need to stress yourself.""Wow, that's exactly what I'll do upon getting back to the company." He wasn't interested in returning soon but now the urge to go back has set in now. "I can't disappoint Jaria and her parents." He says to himself. He had told them that he would be staying for two days."But I can't go back now?""Yes, till we return. I also want to spend some time with my family. It's been long I saw them and I don't know the next time I'll see them again."Derek agrees to stay one more day with her family and would be leaving after tomorrow. She walks outside with him to join Emily and Albert who will take t
She had heard what he just said. She takes her hand and drapes it round his shoulders, then pulls her head to rest on his arms. She looks pleadingly into his eyes, she thinks Emily also needs help and wants to communicate about this with him."Emily is also grown up and is still working under my parents without having anything to do to earn her own money. I know that's what she is paid to do but fifty dollars a month is nothing to me."Derek gasps. "She's been paid fifty dollars?" He is surprised to hear this."Yeah," Jaria shrugs her shoulders, maintaining a serious face which should let Derek know that she is saying the truth. "My parents don't have enough money to pay her, that's why.""Oh that's bad naturally, I'm not blaming them either. They are trying their best." He heaves heavily. "But what do you think I can do for both of them?" He asks her. Albert is enthusiastic that she is going to mention something which will be really beneficial to him."For Albert, you could give him
For the night, Derek and Jaria books a meeting with Clara and Dennis to discuss about their plan of taking Emily and Albert with them. Clara's heart beats faster than usual, she wants to know what's happening as soon as possible while her husband is just relaxed waiting for them to speak.Derek speaks first, being the head. He sees himself as the boss, an indirect head. Though Jaria has come to play a vital role in his life as a friend, he is still her boss."We just wanted to help Emily and Albert, I'll be giving them work at my company, I don't know how you see it. They are grown and should be financially independent but I know that you have really tried for them."Clara nods in acceptance. Dennis is thoughtful. Jaria prays that her parents accepts this but there is no excuse for them not to accept. Also, she remembers what Emily claimed they said when she asked her of who will take her place when she is gone.She decides to bring up the question. "Mom, you have to accept. I think y
At midnight, Derek places a call to his lawyer, Bianca while sleeping with Jaria. He realized that sleeping side by side with her on the same bed and in the same room which was assigned to him gives him an amount of confidence no other thing can. Jaria was asleep before now but she immediately wakes up upon hearing him make a call. Being a highly conscious person, whatever happens while she is asleep wakes get up. Her eyes are spread open, she decides to pay attention to what Derek is going to say to the person on the other end."Hello Bianca."Just hearing this makes her jealous. She sits up on the bed and gives Derek an envious stare, she is disturbed, it's quite obvious on her face."What's going on, calling Bianca at this time of the night?" She mutters to herself but Derek asks her to calm down."Hello darling." She hears her respond from the other end. Her heart is shattered. "When did she start calling you darling?" She asks our aloud."Who's that on your background?" Bianca
In the morning, the fleet of cars that had dropped Derek and Jaria off here assembles, with all the security personnel who had booked the lounge and came from there for duty. They are right here to pick Derek, Jaria, Emily and Albert.Derek had ordered them to take their belongings into the car without minding anyone when they arrive. Bianca had called earlier, at around 4 AM concerning what he asked her last night.She let him know that the law was against Dennis' act, they weren't happy to be where they were, talking of Emily and Albert but they had no choice which automatically makes the situation a modern day slavery. Dennis would be getting a twenty-one years prison sentence if he should be convicted in a court of law.Her words gave Derek the courage to desire to take Emily and Albert away without seeking any further consultation. Clara walks into the room where Derek and her daughter are, supervising the packing of their stuff.It's been years she met her daughter because she h
After Dennis is gone, the packing goes on peacefully, until the guards who had taken him to the station returns. By now, everything is done and they would be departing. Clara is heartbroken that she will have to be living alone. She breaks down in tears and is only left for Derek and Jaria to comfort her.Derek looks for what to do which will make her happy. Money. He takes out his briefcase from his car, then counts thirty thousand dollars and hands it over to her. Thirty thousand dollars to him is a very small amount of money to him compared to what he has in his account but to Clara, it's a very great amount.She jumps up high in the air and hangs on Derek's neck. "Thanks so much for putting a smile on my face, I didn't expect this great luck for me today." She giggles, dances and jubilates. "With this, I can do a lot of things. I'm so happy."Jaria is so happy to see her mother's jubilation, she hugs her so tight and wants to remain like this with her for the rest of the day but t
Derek arrives at his estate with Jaria, Emily, Albert and his security after having a smooth and long journey. Along the way, the trauma of being ambushed by Jackson came up, upon returning, the first thing on his mind is to do what Jaria said, auditing the company and bringing him out from where he is hiding.Dawson, his grandfather whom he assumes as his father, visits unexpectedly. He arrives at the time Derek is guiding Emily and Albert on where to pack into. Dawson had gone away from the estate, to live in a separate estate, desiring to see Derek live an independent life. This happened, not too long ago.He calls him aside after Emily and Albert greeted him, he knows Jaria already as the secretary and fake girlfriend of Derek. In the inner room a little bit far away from here, Dawson tries to enquire who these people are and why they are packing into his estate.He has given the property to Derek and isn't asking like he is still in charge, but just out of mere interest. "They ar
"Well, I just came in for today. I don't really have anything doing, I'll be back to my estate." He observes a deeper grin lights up on Derek's face, he surely knows his son wants him back to his estate, he wants to live a life of privacy but there is nothing he can say about that. He can't obstruct him either, he's an adult.Finally, Emily and Albert are settled in. Derek invites his staff, including the security guarding his estate and gets them introduced to evade any harassment on them. Then he treats them, Jaria and his dad to a sumptuous meal, Eloine comes in to visit with an important news, which is supposed to be directed to Derek privately.Seeing him with lot of people, including his dad, he waits patiently for him to finish up with the meal, then he would go ahead and pass on his information. The meal is over within thirty minutes and each member at the table retires to their various rooms.Dawson says goodbye to his son and heads for home, while Derek goes over to meet Elo
