Sarah sat in her office at the apartment, trying to speak with some partners and clients. Slot of work had gone on without her knowledge, and it had taken the grace of her personal assistant to inform her about it.Her waist ached from having sat down for so long. "Yes, for the charity event that is coming up, Mr. Rizzo would like to be on the call right now. Was just chatting with his daughter and she would also like to be invited to join the call." Her personal assistant said to her."Sure, please put them on." Sarah replied. She had successfully ticked off some things off her list and it felt good." Sooner than she had thought Mr. Rizzo and Viola joined the call. They seemed to have joined from different computers."Mr. Rizzo, it is good to have you on the call with us, and you too Miss Viola. Please, we were just discussing the basic things we would need for the upcoming charity event. I am sorry that I have not been my best, but my Assistant has been very efficient so far."Sar
Sarah was surprised to hear that Viola had already finalized things with the event center when she was not even aware of it."Oh! I see. Then there wa really no need to discuss it with us, now was there?" She joked. Viola took the biting comment personal and retorted quickly."We just thought to keep everyone updated. We were equally surprised to not have received information about the said event center outside town. I guess we have all been event center hunting then." "That is fine. We can all agree to disagree, to agree again that this is the best option for us all. Anyway, what is left on the agenda should be run by Viola in my absence. Let us not have diverse opinions.""There is little time for diversities to set in when the event is already approaching at a fast pace." Mr. Rizzo inputed.Sarah nodded her head dutifully. It was not really going to be an issue for her. She was also partially being offensive because of hormones."I'm sorry If I was out of line, my nerves are all o
Sarah woke up to the sound of fhe machine whirring beside her. The nurse was running a scanner over her arm. The nurse smiled at her."How are you feeling today, Miss Brown?" She asked her with a smile."I feel weak. What happened to me?" Sarah asked the pretty nurse."You digested a harmful substances that could have harmed you and your baby." The nurse replied.Sarah's eyes widened "What? How's my baby?" She asked the nurse."The baby is fine, Ma'am. Do not worry. Your husband brought you here at the right time. We were able to get the poison out before it did any damages to your baby." Sarah breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her belly lightly."Where is my husband?" Sarah asked her. The nurse looked up at her charts and then looked out the open curtain."He was right outside when I got in here, but I think he has left. Is there anything you need me ti get for you, Miss Brown?" She asked her."No, not at all. I would simply like to see my husband. Thank you." She replied.James
Mrs Brown walked into the hospital room and pulled Sarah into a hug."Are you okay? How's the baby?" She asked her, looking extremely concerned."The baby is fine, mum." Sarah replied. Mr. Brown was right behind her.She pulled a seat. "Who could have done this to you? I mean, that is a very outrageous thing to do! Poison?? But why?"Sarah eyed her mother closely. She did not know what to make of her current attitude towards the situation. Was it possible she was pretending?"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mrs Brown asked Sarah. She caught the way Sarah watched her."Nothing mother, i was just wondering, you know." Sarah replied. "What were you wondering, Sarah?" She asked her."How come you came to my house with the cupcake guy and then I end up in the hospital." Sarah said."You went to see Sarah? I thought you said you were at the nursing home?" Mr. Brown asked her.Mrs Brown became nervous."Y-y-yes, I was at the nursing home before I went to see Sarah. But my goodnes
James walked into the Company building. Opening his office door, he was surprised to find his grandfather seated there."What is going on?" He asked his grand father. Mr. Johnson gave him a stern appraisal before venturing to give him an answer."What does it look like? For weeks I have been coming in to checkout the progress you have made with our pending projects so far. But I am surprised to hear that you have been busy with other businesses, James." "Those other businesses are my family and the US Military. A promotion you are very well aware of." James replied his grand father."This same family you are talking about is the same one that treated you like crap for years! The same one I saved many times over and over. You would not have been able to help them if it were not for the revenues which came from this very company. Now, you think they deserve your attention and care??""I don't hold grudges grand father. I love my wife and I fought for her like any good husband would." J
James phone began to ring and he pressed it to his ear as he walked out of the office. "Yes General." "We found the car which almost ran you over the other day. Perhaps you could come over to the base and check it out." The General said over the phone."Yes Sir, I'll be right there." James replied. In a matter of thirty minutes, he was at the military base. Striding into the General's office, he found the Captain seated there with him."The man of the hour finally bothered to show up. I'll call the coast guard in." The Captain said and walked out of the office. James took the seat he had left vacant."I'm sorry, I ran into a bit of traffic on my way here. How did you manage to find the car? What about the driver, Sir?" James asked the General."This is not the way I thought the investigation would go, but, we ended up seeking eye witnesses. The CCTV on the street was damaged. We tried hacking into the satellite system to get a view of what happened but we didn't have much luck in th
James returned to the hospital to pick Sarah up, so he could take her back home. Mr. Brown was still with her but Mrs Brown had stepped outside." James." Mr. Brown said and shook his hand.James looked around the room in search of Mrs Brown. He knew that if Mr. Brown was there, then she would be there as well."How are you feeling now?" He asked Sarah finally. She nodded at him weakly."I need to rest a bit." She replied."That's fine, you can do that when we get back home.""I'm safe here, James. As much as I don't want to be here, I feel too weak to go back home today. The doctors will assign a nurse and you can station two guards outside or something.""Sure, I'll do that. It's fine. But I'll be back to spend the night with you so that the nurse can take a break." James said and touched her hand.The door opened again and Mrs Brown walked back inside the room. James turned to her with a glare on his face, and Sarah immediately gripped his hand tightly.He looked at her and she ple
"Dad, I don't think that is right. Mum has the right to know about the decisions you make with her family's properties, okay? Please." Sarah said to him.Mr. Brown turned to look at Mrs Brown who was now rocking back and forth on the couch at the end of the room next to the door."I'll call Jasmine now. But do not listen to Williams or believe a word he says." As soon as Mr. Brown left, Sarah watched her mother's silence for a while before turning around to face the window.Mrs Brown stared into space completely shocked at how things had turned out.As Mr. Brown stepped out to make the call, another call entered his phone. It was Mr. Curtly."What is going on?? You asked your staff not to attend to me or let me into the bank. Why?" Mr. Brown asked him."I only did that because suspicions have arisen, Mr. Brown. We are on the verge of being caught and don't forget we are dealing with Causey here. We can't take any risks." Mr. Curtly said to him."I received an interesting call that mor
