TRUTH OR DARE: WHEN A QUEEN TAKES HER CROWN CHAPTER 46
CHAPTER 46Scarlett I got my handbag from the office and then made my way to the lift. I walked in and was about to close when Nia rushed.“Scarlett, goodness, you were about to leave me. What happened in there?" she asked.“Nothing," I responded.“Are you sure? Mr. Pierce seemed upset." “Nothing happened. I'm just tired," I said before we walked out and made our way to the taxi rank.“Did you notice that Mr. Pierce has been coming to the office ever since he dropped us off last Friday?” Nia asked."I'm tired. Can we just focus on getting a cab?” I responded.We finally got one and were home after some time. I went to take a shower and then got back to making dinner before Zoe called.“What did you just say?" She was surprised that I was in charge of making Rhea's dress.“Trust me I wouldn't have done it. But my boss just kept insisting." "Did she try anything funny?” "Yes, but I handle her well. She's definitely feeling disappointed for not succeeding.”“Great, that's more like i

CHAPTER 45Scarlett “Oh my goodness look who we got here," Rhea said, walking towards me with a wicked smile playing on her face.“Not here," I said the moment she got closer.“I never thought I would run into you again Scarlett. What are you even doing here?” she asked, looking around as though I didn't belong there."She's the head designer of this department and our best Ms. Collins. Do you guys know each other?” Mr. Black answered when the smile on Rhea's face faded.“Head? No way I mean—”"Here's your dress, ma'am. Please try it on and let me know if you'd like any changes,” I cut her off, handing it to her assistant before making my way to my office.I really needed space and enough oxygen. The thought of being in the same building as Rhea was just consuming. I don't even know what she would have said if I hadn't cut her off on time.I poured myself some juice since I had not been to the café all day. My door opened and Nia rushed in.“Scarlett, what are you doing here? I thoug

CHAPTER 44Scarlett“Mr. Pierce, is everything okay?” I asked, my brows knitting together as he stared at my phone like it had personally offended him.“No,” he replied sharply. “I’m shocked to find that a head designer’s door is locked just so she can be on phone calls. Is that part of good business ethics?”“It’s—it’s not like that, sir. That was just—”“I get it,” he cut in, raising a hand before I could finish. “You don’t have to explain anything, Ms. Brown.”That was all he said before turning and walking out of my office.I stared at the door long after it closed, my chest tight. That wasn’t the same man who had smiled politely while taking my ID at my apartment building. This version of Mr. Pierce was cold, dismissive—almost disappointed.And for what? A phone call I hadn’t even asked for.I sank back into my chair, rubbing my temples. Even if it had been personal, how exactly did that affect sales, designs, or deadlines? Still, the damage felt done. My thoughts drifted immedi

CHAPTER 43Scarlett The weekend was finally over and I had to get to work on time. I don't even dream about being late on weekdays so I made breakfast quickly and then finished having it before my ride arrived.I grabbed my handbag and a few files I needed for this week and then made my way out of the apartment. I entered the cab and then got busy on my phone.“Ms. Brown is that you," I heard the woman next to me ask when I looked up and wondered where she knew me from.“Yes it's me ma’am do I know you?" I asked the woman.“No you don't but I've been one of your followers from Windhoek ever since you won the Best design award," she said and I couldn't help but appreciate that.“Oh that's so nice of you. It's so nice to meet you ma'am." “Aren't you just as humble as they say you are. Talking about that what are you doing this side aren't you supposed to be married to Daniel Cross?" she asked and my smile faded."I'm so sorry,” she quickly said placing her hand above mine it's like sh

CHAPTER 42Daniel It's been months and everyday just makes me want to stay longer at the office. Everything has gotten messy and I can't even manage to have a proper meeting without something going wrong. The media on the other hand has started building all kinds of conspiracy theories against our Empire. Times like this just make me wish Scarlett was here.I don't even know where she gets the skills but the way how she would persuade my partners and help do everything was absolutely amazing. I don't know how I was blind enough to not see that. Now I'm here drowning in all kinds of pressure and the fact that my CFO didn't take money from the allocated budget is going to get me strangled with words.My door opened and there came my mother walking in as though she was flying by plan. I knew that walk was covered in worry so quickly stood up before she reached my desk.“What is the meaning of this Daniel?" she asked placing my bank statement on the table. How she got access to it was

CHAPTER 41Scarlett My phone vibrated and I quickly opened my eyes only to realize the sun had already risen. Its reflection hit the screen of my TV. I looked at my phone's screen and found that Mr. Black had given me about ten missed calls. I was super late so I rushed upstairs to take a shower and then get ready to go to the office.“Sir, I'll be there in a few minutes," I said to Mr. Black the moment he called, and then ended the call.I quickly got a cab and asked the driver to speed and he didn't hesitate. I quickly made my way to the lift and nervously walked out as I reached the top floor.“Over here," Mr. Black waved from the boardroom.I pulled myself together and walked inside. To my surprise, there were only three of us inside. “Ms. Brown, you kept us waiting. What caused the delay?” Mr. Black asked."I had a little emergency, Sir, please pardon my bad timing,” I responded before the person I was supposed to meet turned around and I couldn't believe my eyes.“Hello, I'm
