Once Cindy left, Edward smiled inwardly before putting the document he was holding in the bag he came with, and with that he took the bag and was about to leave when his phone suddenly started ringing.

    "And who is this boss of yours, please?" Cindy asked the man with furrowed brows."Well, follow me; you will see him. His office is just nearby." The man said to Cindy, who was hesitant at first but later decided to follow the man to see who his boss was and what he wanted from her.___________________________Getting to the front of the office, the man who Cindy was following placed a soft knock on the door."Come in," a voice sounded from inside, and with that the man opened the door and walked inside before motioning Cindy to come inside, and with that she too came inside before closing the door of the office.When they got inside, Cindy couldn't see the face of the man who had asked them to come inside due to the fact that he was facing the wall."Sir, she's here already," the man who brought Cindy along announced, and with that the office chair that was facing the wall slowly turned around, revealing the man that was sitting on it.

    "Ma'am, please, you have to believe me, I did everything possible to get her eliminated," Cindy's teary voice resounded from Claudia's office."Well, I don't think you did everything in your power, Cindy, because if you did everything in your power, Amelia could have been the one who got dismissed and not you," Claudia said to Cindy, who was kneeling before her while crying."Ma'am, please, you have to believe me. I swear to God, I did everything," Cindy said to Claudia, who sighed heavily before standing up from the desk where she was sitting."Well, I don't care, Cindy; we had a deal, and since you weren't able to keep your part of the deal, I don't think I have to keep to mine either," Claudia said to Cindy before walking back to her chair and sitting down."What? You mean you aren't going to pay for my mother's surgery just as you had promised?" Cindy asked Claudia with a panicked tone."No, of course, Cindy, why the hell should I pay for your mother's surgery? This is a modelling

    After driving for some minutes, Edward pulled over in front of one of the most luxurious restaurants in New York City, and with that, he got down from the car, and before Amelia could even open the door of the car to get down, he had already walked towards the door of the passenger seat and opened the door for her to get down."Thank you," Amelia said to him with a warm smile as she got down from the car, and with that, Edward closed the door before turning towards her."Let me guess, this is your favourite restaurant, right?"
