****** “I hear the reporters are all over you, are you hiding from them?” Elena asked when they settled on the furry white sofas in Elena's office.“For now yes. I won’t want to put my current employer in jeopardy.” Amanda replied she was right. Getting away from her celebrity life for a while was her idea and get an office job was also her choice but not she couldn't clearly tell which one was better for her anymore because of how complicated it started to be.“The fact that you now work in a person’s company is preposterous. Brid, why did you let her do that?” Elena asked the same question Bridget has been asking herself.“I wouldn’t have if she had told me before getting the Job.” Bridget defended, facing Amanda and raising her eye brows. “You girls don’t get it.” Amanda cut in, hopping to end their argument. “No we do. You and Troy got off on a wrong foot and the reporters are hunting you but you can’t hide forever Amanda.” Elena voiced calmly. “True, you’re still going to fac
*****Amanda got down from Louis car and thanked him for the ride; she waved him goodbye as she watched him drove off. “Shit, he’s gonna be pissed.” She looked down at her watch; it was already 4:45pm. Amanda ran into the Hall, apologizing to everybody she collided with on the cause of her running. Finally, she made her way into the library; she could see Mr. Christopher Adams already signing some books and at the look of the queue in front of him, Amanda could tell he was almost done.She moved quietly over to Wright Junior’s side “I’m so sorry I’m late.” She whispered er apology so just him could hear her.. “What happened?” He ask with a straight face fixed on Mr. Adams, avoiding to look at her “I was—“ She then was interrupted by Mr. Adams who called for Wright Junior’s attention.

*****“What nonsense!” Amanda yelled. She was linked to the meeting which Kate held at the agency. And whatever they were saying to her made her want to break the laptop in front of her Seated round the glass oval table in a spacious white painted office was her manager, her legal adviser, Troy and his manager. And Amanda had to attend the meeting using her laptop.“What do you have to prove sending all those reporters, huh tell me?” She yelled again, directing her questions to Troy who sat quietly, leaving his manager do all the talking.“All we are saying is that you should apologize publicly for hurting Troy in public.” Troy's manager requested. “Why should I do that? He is lucky I didn’t aim at his handsome face.” She snapped. “Amanda!” Kate called, hoping to help keep Amanda's temper under control. And all attempt failed when Troy said the wrong words.“You are a crazy bitch, you know that?” Troy finally spoke out, pissing Amanda off badly. “And you are a wild dog. The kind t
****That afternoon, Mr. Wright had requested that Junior come with Amanda to the family house. It was an unnecessary request, but Junior couldn’t tell why his father wanted her there and what game his father was playing. And as things were, he chose not to question his father. A part of him liked that they were going o be together but another part of him didn't want to drag her into his family mess.Just as he approached his car with Amanda, he heard a female voice calling out his name and just then, he recognized it. “Junior!” The lady called again.He turned to see who it was; it was Sarah standing in the parking lot. She called his name one more time before walking closer to where he was“Hey Sarah.” He voiced out, surprised to see her there.Sarah! Amanda echoed in her head. She could finally put a face to the name. She saw Sarah walk closer to Wright Junior, placing one hand on his and all she could see was a girl in love. Then, she wondered why Junior said she wasn’t his Girl
******“Welcome Miss Amanda. Please you are to wait in the living room. Mr. Wright will like to speak with Mr. Junior alone in his office.” A nice lady in her mid-fourties, dressed in maids clothing told Amanda politely, ushering her into the living room. “Thank you.” Amanda replied with a smile “I’ll be out soon.” Junior assured her then, followed the nice lady out of the living room, he got in front of his dad’s office door, responded to the lady’s greetings then, watch her leave before venturing into his father's office. Swinging open the door, he looked around to see if there were guest around but there weren't except his father who was standing by his window, watching the outside world. Mr. Wright could sense his son’s anger as he walked into the room. He smiled and asked “How was the drive here?”Ignoring his father's fair question, he asked “How could you drag Amanda into this mess? What if something goes wrong, do you know what’s that’s going to do to her?” He was furiou
*****Amanda waited for everyone to leave the office that evening. Although, it was difficult for her to get rid of her only friend at work, she still had to successfully convince him to leave. She told Nelson that her boss was unable to make it to work so, he instructed her to do some paper work in the office. Of course, that information was a lie but it was the only way Nelson could leave. When she noticed everyone had left, she took the yellow file and hurried straight to Tony Wright’s office on the sixth floor. Tony had told her he would be out so, she found his secretary sitting in her small desk in front of a black french door, belonging to Tony's office. The lady was already expecting Amanda and immediately her eyes found Amanda walking towards her table, she got up and politely acknowledged Amanda's presence before opening the door to Tony's office for Amanda to go in. Amanda looked around his office; it was her first time entering Tony’s office. “This look more like a livi
*****Amanda went on with her normal routine, but that morning was slightly different. Amanda had just got back from her morning run, she was about going to change out of her sweaty clothes and take a cool shower when she heard a distracting news on her TV set.“One Miss Sarah Bright was found dead in her apartment on Tuesday morning by one of her neighbor who said she came by to return the cooler she had borrowed from Sarah. The neighbor, Mrs. Gift Sylva, had told the reporters that she met the door open, and like she normally did, she walked in and found Sarah lying dead on living room floor. That was when she called the police. Today, the police says: the result came out negative; they still haven’t been able to find out the cause of Sarah's death." A newswoman reported. “No way!” Amanda exclaimed. Shocked to hear that Sarah was dead just after she had an encounter with her. She wondered how Wright Junior would be fairing after hearing he sad news.She quickly rushed her shower an
*******“Why did you bring me out here?” Junior asked looking around and seeing nothing but trees, bushes and an empty road.“I was able to get in, though it wasn’t easy. The device in Amanda’s watch is military grade and as I am speaking to you the police are tracking her every move and listening to every conversation she’s having with anyone. It is even reading her pulse, see.” Nelson showed Junior the readings on the side of his laptop screen “This means her pulse is stable. The moment there is change in the readings, it will send a distress code and the police will not be too far. So, you need to be careful about what you say around her, which of course you already know.” He informed in one breath.“Nelson!” Junior called; bringing him back to the matter at hand. Nelson scratched the back of his head and said “listen to this.” On his laptop, he played the conversation that ensued between Amanda and Tony when he came to her house uninvited. “That piece of shit!” Junior yelled aft
