Michael stared as several employees trooped into the office, each of them holding a file. There was a sense of eagerness on their faces as they held the report with their findings.

“Hello Anna, we didn’t think you would still be in the office,” Evelynn said as she placed her report on the table.

“Well, I am,” Anna responded with a smile.

Michael was surprised that so many people had turned up to move over to her team. Her reputation sure must have contributed to it.

“Thank you all for participating; you’ll get a mail from my team if selected,” Anna told them as they left.

“You really do have a lot of things to do,” Michael muttered.

Despite their reluctance to submit, Anna was glad a number of them had turned up with the report.

“Hmm, hmm, if you’ll excuse me now, I need to finish up,” Anna replied, finally returning his smile.

“Okay, I’ll be out of your hair now; see you tomorrow,” Michael replied.

“Sure, bye,” Anna said, closing the door behind him.

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: The Triplet’s Revenge    An Invitation

    When the driver pulled up in front of the Parker Learning Center that morning, the triplets had a determined look on their faces.Around them, other children were eagerly walking into the building with the wide-open door. Their backpacks slung over their shoulders, they chatted excitedly with friends. The triplets quickly hopped out of the car, hurrying towards the door."Wait a minute." Loveth called out, stopping them in their tracks."Grandma, you already said goodbye in the car." James reminded her."I know, but I have not done this," Loveth stated as she kissed their head."Can we go now?" Jayden asked."Yes, and you have a nice day," Loveth called out to them as they walked away."We will," Jasmine responded over her shoulder."What's in that bag?" Loveth shouted, noticing Jayden's bag was a little bigger than the rest."It's my book and toy for the class," Jayden shouted in response, his lips lifting into a grin.Before Loveth could ask more, they were already at the door, so s

    Anna had a satisfied smile on her face as she stared at the documents in front of her.“What is it about?” Nat asked, her eyes twinkling with interest at Anna’s expression.“Looks like I just got my hand on a very confidential bid,” Anna replied.“I knew it was going to be something like that.” Clayton stated.“Why do you think it’s confidential?” Nat asked.“Well, because the recipient has been the beneficiary for a couple of years now, but now it’s up for a bid,” Anna explained as she glanced at the name on the file again.“And who is this recipient that is suddenly losing this bid?” Nat asked, her eyes narrowed in suspicion.“I think I know who it is.” Clayton murmured, looking at Anna in suspicion too.“Who?” Nat asked.“That should be the Parker group.” Clayton stated.Nat’s eyes turned to Anna quickly as she asked, “Are you serious?”“Yes, he is,” Anna responded.“Why would they be letting go of the Parker and putting it up for a bid?” Nat asked in shock.It didn’t take much to

    Simon stared at the flash drive, his eyes narrowed in question as he asked, “What answer?”“I finally have the pinpoint location of the attacker.” Steve replied.“Really? That was so fast,” Simon said.“I think the location would be more surprising; you should have a look,” Steve answered, handing the drive over to him.As they spoke, William’s phone vibrated in his pocket, and he stepped to the side of the office to check what the content of the text he got was about.“Where is the location?” Simon asked Steve.“You should see it yourself, because I’m still surprised also,” Steve replied.He walked over to Simon’s desk, stepping around it to stand behind his seat as Simon inserted the drive into his laptop and opened the file on it. There were a lot of things to sort through, but Steve navigated to the map and opened it.“Is that it?” Simon asked, his hand pointing to the red dot on the screen.“Yes,” Steve nodded.Simon stared at the name on the map for a few seconds before his eyes

    At the Howard house, Nancy walked into the house in the early hours of the morning, her eyes bloodshot.“Nancy? Where were you all night?” Cordelia asked, trying to keep her voice low.“I was out, where else? I’m heading up to my room,” Nancy responded, trading up the stairs.“Do you want your father to get pissed with you? Does he have to worry about you doing something stupid?” Cordelia asked in concern, following her up.Nancy chuckled, shaking her head as she replied over her shoulder, “You don’t need to worry about me.”“But your actions say otherwise, Nancy? Did something else happen at work?” Cordelia asked.Nancy got to her door, pulled it open, and walked in, dropping her bag on the floor as she fell into bed.“Something did happen.” Cordelia stared at Nancy’s silence.“Can we talk about this later, Mom? I’m fr*aking tired and need some sleep.” Nancy responded, her voice muffled by the bed.“Won’t you go to work?” Cordelia asked.“I took the day off,” Nancy replied.“What hap

    By the time Anna got to the office, there was a kind of ease about her that even Nat noticed. Clayton was not on the seat as Anna passed by his table.“Anna?” Nat called as she walked into the office.“Yes? Did anything unusual happen while I was away?” Anna asked.“No, nothing. I’m just glad to see you looking calmer than you did yesterday and this morning.” Nat responded.“Yeah, I guess so,” Anna mumbled.Anna dropped her bag on her table, pulled out her chair, and sat down. She felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders.“Anna? Where did you go?” Clayton asked, coming into the room.“Should I not be asking you that same question?” Anna asked.“But I…” Clayton started to say.“Why don’t we get back to work?” Anna asked, smiling at them warmly.“I know there is something hidden behind that smile.” Clayton defended.“Did you find out anything about the envelope you gave to me?” Anna asked, changing the topic.“No, I told you he didn’t say anything to me. Why don’t you j

    "What is it?" Alex asked, noticing the hesitation on her face.Anna looked at Shelly, patting her hand as she said, "If I am going to do this, you need to follow my lead.""You don't want to help us?" Adam asked, his eyes clouded with confusion."Ms. Howard, I know you must have reservations, but this is a murder case, and we need to take extra caution." Alex responded.Anna sighed, placed her elbow on the desk as she explained, "No, that's not what I mean. I know that you need my testimony to make sense of what happened that night. I know who might be behind this, but I need to know that you will follow my lead."Alex's face cleared in understanding at her words as he asked, "Why do you want us to follow your lead?"Anna stood up, walked over to the window in the room, and turned her back to them as she stared out at the city."We know how difficult this must be for you, Anna, but we need to know." Adam encouraged.Alex sighed deeply and stated, "Ms. Howard, this case is critical. If

    Anna wriggled her hand, uncomfortable, but she knew there was no turning back from this. She had made a promise to herself to face this head-on, no matter how difficult it may be. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply before looking at Shelly.“Anna?” Shelly asked, stepping closer to her.Anna nodded and replied, “Yes,"“Anna!” Shelly exclaimed in shock, covering her mouth with her right palm.“Who is it, dear?”Anna looked up and saw him, Adam Turker, his head filled with trickles of gray hair. He looked almost the same as he did five years ago.“Hunnie, it’s Anna, Anna,” Shelly called out in disbelief.Adam got to them, his eyes filled with questions as he asked, “Anna? Is that you?”Anna nodded, forcing a smile as she tried to clear her voice, which was clogged with tears.“Oh my god,” Shelly exclaimed softly as she pulled Anna into her arms.Anna felt the softness of her hands around her as she finally let herself cry, releasing all the pent-up emotions she

    “Did something else happen?” Noah asked, watching Simon.His eye that had been close to calm was now storming with fury as he cursed under his breath.“Gideon is flying back to the country! For f*ck's sake, did he learn nothing about business diplomacy? He is leaving all that sh*t there and flying back?” Simon stated, his voice hardened in anger.“What do you mean he learned nothing? There is probably nothing else he could do about the situation.” Paul defended.“You know that’s not true; we all bloody know that is not f*king true!” Simon snapped.“Don’t you dare curse at me, Simon!” Paul shouted at him.“For the life of me, how dense can Gideon be? I should have known better than to send him on that trip.” Angrily, Simon brushed back his hair in frustration.“What do you mean by you should have known better? Were you expecting him to bungle this up from the get-go?” Paul asked, his eyes narrowed.Simon didn’t answer, and Noah had picked up his phone to reach out to key directors over

    Anna stared at the picture and at the date, a reminder of what happened. Lily's picture was displayed on her phone, her face all smiles as her phone alerted her to the fact that Lily had lost her life in her place five years ago."Anna?" Are you alright?" Nat leaned close to ask.She noticed the pale look on her face and was concerned about her.Anna was silent for a moment before finally admitting, "I think I need to go home.""What? Why? When are we celebrating your win?" Nat asked.Anna pulled out her phone and placed it face down on the table, trying to control herself. She felt a wave of sadness wash over her as she recalled that night."Please excuse me, I need to make use of the restroom," Anna said with a forced smile before standing up.Her walk to the restroom was slow and deliberate, her mind consumed with memories she had been trying to forget.Once in the restroom, she splashed cold water on her face, took a deep breath, and stared at her reflection in the mirror."I'm so
