Michael shrugged and looked away for a second before looking back at Nat through the rearview mirror.“What?” Nat insisted.“He’s been acting all weird since Anna left and since his encounter with Simon," Michael stated.“You saw that?” Nat asked."Yes, I did, but that is not the point. He probably has a lot of things on his mind and needs time alone. So let's not make him not going back to town with us a big deal.” Michael explained.“I quite agree with you.” Clayton mumbled.“I think there is actually more to him and Simon,” Michael stated.There was an awkward silence in the car as they all stared out the car.After a few seconds, Nat asked, “Why do you say that?”“I don’t know, might just be me, you know what? Let's forget all that.” Michael replied, smiling warmly at her.“Let’s move on to conversations like how we are going to settle things now that Fisher Telecoms is coming back on its feet.” Clayton said in excitement as he winked at Nat.“Yeah, okay,” Nat replied.The rest of
There was a determined look on Alex's face as he spoke, his voice dropping a notch.Anna glanced over at him with a raised brow and asked, "What do you mean by one last thing?""We need to confirm if Simon was indeed admitted to any hospital that night. That is the only way to confirm this alibi." Alex responded."Okay, and then what?" Anna asked"I'm afraid we would have to remove him as our prime suspect." Alex replied."Damn it," Anna cursed under her breath before adding, "How fast do you think you can find out about it?""Shouldn't take up to a few hours; we can get to work right now." Alex responded."Then let's go. I think knowing now is the best thing for my mind right now." Anna stated.Alex nodded, taking a sip of his drink. They sat there in silence for another ten minutes till they were done with their drinks.By the time they got to the station, Alex got to work. Putting his team on the hunt for anything five years ago.After about thirty minutes, Alex walked back to Anna
Simon looked up to see Charlotte standing right there, her eyes blazing hot, her hands folded on her chest."William, go right on; I'll be with you shortly." Simon whispered."Okay," William responded, looking from Simon to Charlotte.He didn't quite trust her, but there was nothing he could do about it now. After the scene with David back there, he hoped that she was not going to cause a bigger one.As William walked away, Simon moved closer to Charlotte and asked, "What do you want?""Same question you have asked me for a while now, which I believe you know the answer to." Charlotte snapped."I doubt that I do, and as you can see, you're supposed to head back home now that the program is over. Well, except you are spending the night here like the rest of us." Simon said with a shrug."Don't play dumb with me, Simon. Why are you h*ll-bent on doing this to us?" Charlotte asked."I am not doing anything, Charlotte, because there is no us to begin with in the first place." Simon replied
The silence that followed her outburst was deafening until a bike sped past on the road, breaking the silence."I don't know what you mean by evidence, but I only sent that letter so Anna could forgive Mr. Simon." Mila stated.Anna blinked, unable to comprehend what she had just heard as she stared at Mila."What do you mean? Who was in an accident?" Anna asked.Mila looked from her to Alex, her hardened shoulder finally relaxing."Come on in," Mila said, turning back and walking into the house."Looks like we just stumbled on something big." Alex said with a shrug as he gently placed a hand on Anna's shoulder.They walked in after Mila, with Alex shutting the door behind them. The room was small, filled with the scent of freshly baked cake.The living room was connected to the kitchen, separated by just the kitchen island."You can sit over there," Mila called out over her shoulder as she moved to pull out a tray from her oven."Thank you," Anna stated as they sat down.Mila filled t
In town, Anna walked down the stairs of the Fisher family house dressed in jeans and a brown body-hugging top."Anna?" Loveth called from the top of the stairs.Anna looked back and saw Loveth staring down at her with concern in her eyes."Loveth? When did you get back? I was thinking of coming to see you when I get back." Anna replied."Not long ago, but you look dressed for an outing." Loveth stated, coming down the stairs towards her."Yes, I have to see someone in town." Anna replied as they walked down the rest of the stairs together."Is something wrong?" Loveth asked."No, uhmm, nothing." Anna replied."We called to speak with you two nights ago, but you were not picking up." Loveth stated."Yeah, uhmm, I was kind of occupied with some things." Anna stuttered."You got in quite late yesterday, and I had to go to the hospital today, so I have not really had time to speak with you." Loveth said, walking over to sit on one of the couches. in the living room."Okay, what is it about
The conference came to an end, a beautiful end to the three days of lectures and expert sessions."Have you heard from Anna since yesterday?" Nat asked Clayton as they walked out of the hall."No, I only got a text from her saying she was home." Clayton responded."I hate it when she begins to act all distant; there is definitely something going on," Nat muttered."I can't call Mom to find out; she would only think something is wrong, which won't be good for her health." Clayton stated."After that call from the detective, I knew whatever was going on was no longer just about Nancy. Or is it about that letter?" Nat asked herself."What call? Nat, what are you saying?" Clayton asked.He stopped, pulling her by the arm to a stop in the crowded lobby, his brows furrowed together."She got a call from a detective two nights ago, but then I assumed it was nothing, only for her to decide she was going back yesterday." Nat explained."A detective?" Clayton asked."Hi Clayton, see you in town
