Faith arrived at Warren company after she heard everything about Sarah.

Sarah did not tell her, but she knows that voice belongs to her uncle, but she doesn't know the exact reason why her heart breaks when she sees Sarah crying.

She arrived at the door step.

The assistant stopped her.

“Miss sartini”

“Is he in?”

“Yes, but he is-”

Faith pushed the door open.

Warren was on a business call. He looked up and saw her face. No one told him that he should end the call.

“I will call you back” he ended the call.

“What brought her royal majesty to my office today of all days?”

Faith scoffed, she took a seat.

“Did I say you could sit down?” He said with all seriousness.

“What do you mean?” Faith asked.

“You are not permitted to sit down when I haven't agreed”

“come and carry me up then”

“And you think I can't” he stood up.

“Just sit, I know you can do it but that's not what I'm here for”

Warren looked at her for a long moment, the kind of look that he knew something was bothering her.

“What's it?”

“Sarah”

“What about her?”

Faith brought out her phone, she played the recording of Marcus Threatening Sarah

“You are too slow, do as I say or your parents will not live to see the sunset” the recording stopped.

“Where did you meet Sarah?” Warren asked

“She was at the hospital, and I told you I would like to visit Lydia and that's how we met”

Warren stayed silent.

His hands went completely still, his jaw tightened.

Not like he did not know but he had to play that role in front of faith.

“So she is being threatened?”

“Yes”

“She is not going through the file on her own?”

“Of course”

Warren stayed quiet for a while.

“I have something to tell you”

Faith looked at him “what's it?”

“I have paid for her parents treatment”

Faith eyes widened.

“You did that before I wanted to?”

“I asked my assistance to run a background checkup on her” he continued “and I handled it for her”

“Why didn't you say so when I came in”

“You didn't give me a breathing space”

Faith looked at him.

“Don't look at me like that,” Warren said.

“Like how?”

Like that.

Faith cleared her throat.

“Back to business”

Warren nodded.

“ Marcus is waiting for Sarah to deliver something big” she looked at him “and we should give him exactly is looking for”

“What do you think we should do”

Faith scoffed “I thought you are smart, turn out you are dumbass”

“Who said I'm not smart?” Warren asked.

“You know it your self no need for some to tell you”

“Continue talking and I will shut you up with a kiss”

Faith glared at him “ We should prepare a fake investment”

“We will fake it, it's an overseas business, no board approval, and it should be big enough that Marcus can not resist, and his greed will let him invest more than what we asked for”

“The account?”

“Already set up, I was planning to do it before I found out about Sarah so this is the perfect time, and it registered under a shall company”

Warren eyes widened “shell company?”

“Yes, you know people are looking for a way it invest in that company but they couldn't do this is our chance”

Warren jaw dropped “the shell company, the mysterious boss, what do you think will happen if he finds out we are using his name, you know they said he is ruthless and he kills without a second thought”.

“ don't worry I got it a wrap under my fingers, he won't do anything to me”

Warren smiled “of course, because you are his little princess” he thought

“And the things there us that it's going to be transferred back to me not any company, it's my account”

“What?”

“Yes, any money he is investing will come back to me”

“so you mean tha–”

“YYes I'm going to let him hand over all his share to me, the money also”

“Seem you have planned this before now, because how could you think of a perfect solution in just a short time”

Faith smiled.

Silent stretch between both of them.

Then Warren finally spoke.

“What if he finds out it was a trap?”

“He won't, greed won't allow him to see the front”

“And you think that will be easy”

“Why did I even come to this place, you are behaving like a child of ten years”

“What will happen to Sarah?” Warren asked.

“We will protect her” faith said

“So you will protect the spy that was sent to your company”

“No, I will protect the girl Marcus used, she had no choice, when she had be caught then she will confess and that's it”

Warren looked at faith.

That look again.

“Stop” faith almost raised her voice.

“But I did not say anything”

“You were thinking out loud”

“So tomorrow, I will call you, we will talk and so as I say or else you won't live to see the moon you too”

“Are you threatening me or what”

“Just forget it, I'm off, I need rest”

*

Faith was already in the office before Sarah came.

She heard footsteps. She picked up her phone.

She dialed a Warren number.

“Hello”

Sarah entered and she sat down.

“Yes ,the overseas project is ready we just need your investment and everything would work out the way you want”

“So just my investment is needed”

“Ofcourse and people are waiting to sign but we just want only you”

“Thats a great opportunity for the company,i will come discuss business with you and I will invest,i just need the board to know what Im doing the documents is already here with me”

A pause.

“We will be waiting to Collaborate with miss saritini”

“I have heard everything and just needs the board approval,and when it's done you will hear from me”

Sarah went completely still.

“So if I help Marcus invest faster then he will let me and my parents go” she thought.

“Hoe much are my investing again”

“Five hundreds million miss”

“My profit,”

“It will be beyond what you expect ,just trust in us”

“I will do as you say, don't let me down” she hung up.

“Good morning miss” Sarah greeted.

“Good morning” faith saw the look on her face.

Sarag had gone completely still, her shoulder had tightened, her pen had stopped moving.

Sarah reached out to her phone.

Faith did not say anything.

Sarah excuses herself.

“I'm heading to the restroom miss”

Faith used her hand to demonstrate, without looking up from the computer.

Sarah reached up to an empty space, she looked left and right, she searched for a camera but there was none, so she dialed Marcus' number.

Faith watched from her office.

“She has taken the beit so fast”

Since her uncle doesn't want to rest, she will give him everything he wants.

She smirked devilishly.

    Faith could not sleep, her mind was on how Sarah was treated in the station.She arrived at the company at 7am. Her lawyer already arranged everything about Sarah.Faith picked up the file, she looked at Sarah sitting, no one was there she smiled.She opened the first file - Sarah Mensah, twenty six years old, schooled at one of the top colleges in California, before relocating to the city.Page two includes how she worked - after looking for work for several people,they always decline even with how good her grades are.If a rich man buys her spot or they insult for being too poor,but even with that she still focuses on her education..Then when she found a job at the night club,to serve customers, she had no other choice than to do it,or they wouldn't survive in the city.Then how Marcus approached her on one faithful night, he did not approach her randomly it was deliberate.He had been watching her for weeks,how hard she had been working,how her boss scolded her ,how she was desper

She went back to the office. “Miss sartini I'm sorry I came late, the queue–”Vu ever you go to the restroom that's when the queue will be much?”“No miss, I was–”"Don't say a word, just go back to your work”“Ok miss" It was time for closing, faith was already arranging her things.
