Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 50
Monday blues. Back to business, one would think, as usual. Not this particular Monday morning.The atmosphere was tense in Derek's office at the Quinton Tower. Derek himself was seated in his own office chair looking out the window, deep in thought.Standing beside him was his secretary....and girlfriend, Amanda. She was not looking out the window, instead she was facing the seating area in front of Derek's desk. She had a stern poker face look as she stared at the seating area.That's because seated there were Desmond, Jocelyn, Wayne, Kimberly and Owen...yes, even Owen was called to Derek's office.All five were sitting nervously, waiting for Derek to say something. They could not read Derek's mind and they feared for the worst.Finally, Desmond could not take it anymore and decided to risk it. He took the initiative to break the silence."Boss, about last night...I know we were wrong to eavesdrop on you and Ms Amanda. I'm sorry. I apologise on their behalf." said Desmond. There wa

As everyone else left Derek's office, it was just Amanda and Derek left alone. As much as they wanted more of each other's company, they knew they had to remain professional in the office. "You know, that closet in the corner can store more than just suits and men's shoes. I think you can have a few dresses stored there for events like Sunday." suggested Derek. "That would be nice. I suppose that shower holds more than one person?" Amanda asked cheekily. "You bad, bad girl. I love you so much." replied Derek. "Hey I've got an idea, why don't we visit BDT mall this evening? We can shop for some dresses and shoes for me to put in that closet." Amanda suggested. "Good idea. We can also find out how much Nick knows about us." replied Derek. "So I'll see you later this evening?" asked Amanda. "Sure. Oh and er....since I went to your place last night, how about you come to my place for dinner? You've been to the Quinton Mansion before, haven't you?" asked Derek. "That sounds nice...

The morning passed before anyone knew it. Lunchtime approached.Team MNS gathered in JL boutique to discuss what they heard in Madison's meeting in the morning."The situation is getting real, and not in a good way." said Steph."Yeah, they want to make sure brother Derek doesn't make the Sunday event. What do they mean by that?" said Madison. "Do you think they mean kidnap brother Derek? Or worse?" asked Nick."NICK! DON'T THINK THAT WAY!" shouted Joanne, Nick's sister. Nick felt bad saying what he said; but Madison understood his thought process."Sorry Joanne; but your brother does have a point. You know how my family works, in particular my grandma." said Madison. "If she can kill Mr Derek's adopt parents, her own son and daughter in law, what depths would she not stoop to, just to make sure Mr Derek is taken out? For good if need be." added Steph."I have to warn him for sure. I'll have to call him." said Madison."Woah woah, Madison. Think this through. What are you going to s

"Hi, Maddy. Are you on your way?" Nick asked on his phone. "Hi Nick. I just reached the mall." replied Madison. "Ok. Meet me at my sister's boutique." said Nick."Ok, then." replied Madison. Click."She's coming up, brother." Nick said to Derek.Five minutes later, Madison arrived at JL boutique. She was shocked seeing the people in there."Brother Derek? Ms Amanda? What a surprise....what brings you here?" asked Madison."Hi cousin. It's been awhile. Good to see you again." Derek said with a smile."Hi Madison. We were just dropping by to get some dresses for Sunday's event." said Amanda, walking towards Derek and holding his hand. "Errr....Ms Amanda....why are you holding my cousin's hand?" asked Madison.Although she already knew about Derek and Amanda, she tried to act innocent as though she is not aware."Isn't it obvious, cousin? We're together now." Derek replied, smiling widely. There's no need to speculate anymore. The words came our of her cousin's mouth. Madison's wish

The sun was shining brightly through the windows, signalling the dawn of a new day.Amanda slowly woke up from her serene slumber. She looked to the left of the bed and smiled, seeing her sheer nightgown on the floor. She then turned to her right, the bed sheet covering her naked body and looked at the sexy man laying next to her, his body also covered by the bed sheet.Amanda then leaned forward to that man and kissed him on the cheek."Good morning, Daddy Q." Amanda whispered to Derek's ear.Derek slowly woke from his sleep and turned to his left, facing the girl of his dreams."Good morning, Mandy love." replied Derek as he kissed Amanda's forehead.Derek and Amanda snuggled under the sheets, embracing each other and treasuring the moment."We need to wash up, honey. We got to go to work." said Amanda."Awww...can't we stay like this awhile more?" Derek sounded disappointed. "There will be more in the future. Come on. Let's go shower." replied Amanda. Both of them got up from De

Amanda was preparing the virtual call involving Derek, Madison, Nick and Steph. Steph was fortunate to have the day off while Madison lied to Madam Louise that she was meeting her informant. Team MNS gathered in the backroom of NL Suits, which was closed to the public for the duration of the virtual call.Everyone was present, waiting for Derek to join in.Thirty seconds later, Derek connected to the virtual call, satisfied that everyone was already waiting for him. He made sure to change the background of his screen so as to conceal his real identity to team MNS."Hi everyone. Thank you for joining this meeting. I'm sure everyone here is curious about the purpose of it, so I'll get straight to it." began Derek. "Amanda, Steph, you'll be hearing this for the first time; yesterday, Madison informed me about how the Smith family is plotting to 'prevent' me from attending Sunday's event.""As you may suspect, there is more than one way to define the word 'prevent' in relation to them.

"Mr Beck, Mr Cross, the office has been thoroughly searched. Mr Cross, we found this." Owen's installation team leader emerged from QC Enterprise office and passed a bug mic to Wayne, who was shocked upon being passed a bug microphone. "Where did you find this?" asked Wayne."We found this on one of the cubicles. There was a name tag next to the mic. I believe the name is Yvonne Wilson." replied the team leader. "Thank you for your report. Are they any other bug mics or cameras?" asked Wayne."No. This is the only one.""Okay, thank you. You may proceed to install our security cameras." said Owen."Yes, Mr Beck." replied the team leader before heading back into the QC Enterprise office."Kimberly's instincts about Yvonne were right all this time. I should have known better." said Wayne."Don't be too hard on yourself, young man. Having Kimberly by your side is an advantage to both of you. Now you know someone is trying to ruin you from within, you can nip this problem in the bud."

Bang!Derek slammed his office table in anger, after hearing the recording of the Smith's family dinner conversation from the previous night."I always knew that old b**** was an evil manipulative old hag; but now she has become the devil!" Derek growled in anger."Calm down, boss. We still need to warn Madison and Nick." said Amanda, who was internally saddened seeing her boss and boyfriend so distraught. "It's more than that now, Amanda. Steph and Joanne are now implicated too." said Derek. "And no offense, boss; but we temporarily can't bring anymore people into the Townsville Hillside Condo. If we do, that place will be like a bomb shelter in a war zone." said Amanda."No offense taken, Amanda. You're absolutely right about that. My parents' place and Quinton Tower are out of the question too. That leaves one place.....Quinton Hotel Townsville." said Derek."Didn't your parents want to celebrate your birthday there, boss?" asked Amanda."We have to change the location. We can ce
