"What are you talking about?" Gemma shot up from her seat in shock. "When did you find this out?" "Could you calm down, Miss Arnaud?" Rudolf sounded just as exasperated and Gemma would have yelled at him if she was not tongue tied. What she wanted was answers, not to be told to calm down. How the hell was she supposed to be calm? "Speak." She prompted when it didn't sound like Rudolf was going to answer her. "After finding out that she and Andrew had stolen the lipstick you set up, I bugged her personal cell phone so I would notice their moves if they had any other plans. She and Yvonne have  not been meeting anymore and neither has she met Andrew in secret so I guessed that they must be exchanging calls and text messages. " "What's your point?" Gemma felt her head hurt. If the moles were planning to escape, she would need to move fast. They couldn't get away with what they did! "Yvonne transferred a lump sum to their accou

Getting rid of Rebecca and Andrew should have been satisfying but for some reason, Gemma felt nervous. She knew that it wouldn't take much more to pin Yvonne down but the closer she was to doing it, the more scared she was Yvonne could have come up with plans to counter her attacks. She read through all the information she could find about Yvonne. Her plan with Noah had not been successful because Gemma ruined it by exiling Olivia, but she could easily come up with another one. She scanned through all of Yvonne's details  while highlighting anything that could be of help. "What are you doing?" Livian appeared behind her and kissed her neck from the back. She smiled and swung her chair so she would turn around to face him. She had not been expecting him to drop by. "You are here." He kissed her lips gently. "My wife promised to be home soon but I got impatient waiting for her, so I decided to check on her." He feigned disapp

"Drop your nonsense and get to the point." Yvonne was irritated. Gemma reclined in her chair while ignoring the latter's rant. She wanted to mess with Yvonne a lot more but she knew that if she took it too far, it might just bring out the opposite effect of what she desired. Yvonne glared at her and looked like she was about to leave and deal with it as enemies. "I only have one condition, Yvonne." Gemma closed the menu and focused on the woman in front of her. "Stay out of my life and I will stay out of yours." "Fine." Yvonne rolled her eyes. "If that's all, I will be on my way now." "Not so fast." Gemma interrupted her before she could stand to leave. "If you change your mind and decide to cause any trouble for me, I will do the police a favor and help them catch you." "Whatever." Yvonne slung her handbag on her shoulder. "I'll take that as a yes." Gemma yelled after her and laughed at the latter's frustr

The interviews would have been much smoother if most of the interviewees had read through the requirements and checked whether or not they qualified for the job. After interviewing two candidates who thought they could still do a good job despite not having studied the complementary courses that had been mentioned on the advertisement, she had to deal with a lunatic who claimed to be able to be an executive assistant just because she had been a secretary in a different field before. Some of the interviewees didn't even know what position they wanted as long as it paid the bills and others were overly passionate. After what felt like a hundred interviews that were probably only ten, she needed a cold drink, a massage from Livian and a cold shower, not necessarily in that order. She looked up when the next interviewee came in. Just as she dreaded, she was yet another weirdo. She had written all the answers on her palms and read them out randomly whether or not th

"Cora." Gemma was still in denial after reading the note for the fifth time. She would try to find signs of a prank every time and when she didn't find any, she shook her head in disbelief. "This can't be from Cora. Someone has to be playing a trick somewhere." She lamented. Livian had seen the content even though he had not intended to snoop. He placed his hand on hers. "No one is playing tricks.""Why would Cora ever do this to me? What would she gain?" She asked aloud, unable to find any reason for anyone to pretend to be her friend for an entire decade if the plan was to do such a thing. Why didn't she do it before? Why only now? Livian looked out at the road and felt disgust for himself. Why didn't he consider it before? Everything about Cora was a red flag but he didn't notice them even when they were being waved in his face. _____Three months ago. Livian had finally gotten Gemma to marry him but he s
