LOGINCHAPTER 50Daniel I couldn't take it anymore. The emptiness in the penthouse was going to consume me if I didn't find Scarlett so I made my way to Zoe's place even though she threatened to call the cops if I went there again.I knocked at her door but there was no response. I made up my mind to stand there till she came to answer.“I've got to be dreaming. Daniel Cross, what the hell are you doing here?” She shook her head."Zoe…I just want to know where Scarlett is please don't do this to me. I want to talk to her and make things right," I responded but she just laughed.“What things are those Daniel? It's almost months since you guys broke up and Scarlett is doing great without you. I wouldn't dare tell you where she is, even if it meant saving your life. OK, now get going because I've plans for the evening," she said about shutting the door in my face, but my arm blocked her.“Zoe, please, if it's about money, just say the price. I'll have it sent right now. I just need Scarlett,"
CHAPTER 49Daniel “Who's putting this lie out?" I asked my managers in the boardroom while they all looked down.“We…We don't know, sir, it must be a misunderstanding,” one responded."You've all got 5 hours to find out how those files got released or get ready to lose your jobs,” I said before dismissing everyone.My mother had travelled to Canada for two weeks and would be landing in a few hours. I was sure the news report had already reached her about the files that were leaked to the media.I ran my hand through my hair and looked down in frustration before the boardroom door opened and Rhea walked in with a smile on her face.I didn't know what that was all about but just knew I didn't have any money to give her. “Hey baby," she said, coming to sit on my lap.“Not now sweetie. I'm a little tired," I responded.“Come on, babe, we could get all naughty right here. I just want to get that stress—" “Scarlett! Shit I mean Rhea," I corrected myself before she jumped from my lap.“Yo
CHAPTER 48 Scarlett “Oh, so this is how we talk now?" Nia wiped her tears.“You.. You don't know what you're saying Nia he's—”"Ms. Brown!” The door opened and Damien walked in.Nia and I looked at each other before she dashed out leaving me with that beast of a man. He didn't have to say anything I already knew what he came to say. I was already going to leave anyway.“You're needed in the—" “There's no need for that, I'll send my resignation later in the evening," I responded, going to get my handbag from the cupboard.“What are you talking about, Ms. Brown? We've an agent staff meeting on the board,” Damien said."I'm leaving so don't see why I should go?” "I don't know if you read the contract well, but it says you can only leave when I say that, so get yourself to the boardroom,” Damien said about walking out when I laughed at his foolishness."What's funny about what I said?” Damien asked."The fact that you didn't even realize that I didn't sign that contract Mr. Pierce. I
CHAPTER 47Scarlett “I never cheated on Daniel," I said, pulling back tears that wanted to fall so badly.“He is the one who cheated on me with Rhea Collins, and I lost everything I could have had," I added, looking into George's eyes.“Shit! That bastard, it all makes sense now," George said, and I didn't even bother asking about what he meant by that."I did everything for him but he took everything from me,” I whispered last when George came close and hugged me."I'm sorry Scarlett. I didn't know those beasts did this to you. I'm going to make them pay for everything, trust me,” he held my hand.“No, George, I don't want you to do anything crazy. I've moved on now. Just send me the details about the suit, and I'll start working on it immediately," I answered, but he was still insisting on making Daniel and his mother pay.George left, and I went to take a seat before my door opened, and I looked at Damien, who approached my desk.“Ms. Brown, are you done working on the designs I s
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
