Aspen said,1 closing her eyes as she joined her hands together and she opened it. She let out a cool breath and typed in her password beige scrolling through the spams in her dm. She clicked on one only to see a message that made her heart skipped a beat."You dance pretty." the email read.She hardly open her email to check on anything since she was positive there will be no reply but now... This stalker managed to get into her email. She checked the date and time and saw that it was after she had stepped in he had sent the message.She gritted her teeth and wanted to type back but she stopped. If she replies him, it will be like she acknowledging that she knew he was stalking her and he will enjoy it. She should ignore him, he will be frustrated and show his face.She hissed out and clicked on another.spam and saw something congratulations. She did not bother to

"Hello, Aspen. Can you bring me the files I asked you to work on?" Floyd asked as he held the telephone with his shoulder against his ear as scribbled some things down on the files before him."Okay, sir." She said and packed the files. Thankfully she had finished them this morning or else she did not know how Floyd will react. From what she heard from the past few days since she started working, she knew that despite how playful Floyd could be, he was serious and focused when it comes to work and all. She rearrange her skirt and made her way to his office. She greeted the secretary before his office and the lady urged her in with her head. Aspen smiled and entered. Floyd was busy with other files. She took in his serious and focused posture. He was the same even after these years. His eyes seemed slightly narrowed and his brows twitched as if what he was reading was confusing. Then he seemed to notice that someone had entered his office. He lifted his eyes to look at her and she clea

It was the next day and Aspen sat before the files that Floyd had packed to give her. He must be happy that he gave her. She let out a scoff at the thought. Her kids were busy playing while Sheba had gone to collect the rest of their luggage. She was finally at peace but also under pressure of having to take care of the kids. Her head was not helping at all with the files. She could hardly focus and she let out an annoyed breath and stood up from the desk. Just as she was about to tell the kids to be careful, her doorbell rang and a wave of fear slammed into her in full. Why was she scared? It could be Sheba that was at the door. She shook her head and went to open the door. Her eyes widened in surprise at the person that stood before her.Anna raised her brows. "Think you could get rid of me easily?" She asked and Aspen chuckled."No, I just thought you were busy. I mean... What about you come in." She said and Anna rolled her eyes."Never knew you invite people inside your house,

**Next Day** Aspen hurriedly wore the kids' dress for them and put on the sandals for them."Mommy, how do I look?" Cathy asked as she stared at herself in the mirror. Aspen glanced up to see her posing before the mirror and the thought that Cathy would be an internet type of lady worried her a bit."Beautiful as always." she said and Cathy giggled. Aspen shook her head and turned the rest of them."Are you ready?" She asked them. She had made sure that they are before wearing their clothes and they nodded their heads before stepping out of the room. She turned to Sheba and told her to do some things before she helped the kids out and called an Uber to come and pick her and the kids.The cab soon came and she let them inside. They soon got to their school and Aspen knew she was running late already. She internally cursed and helped them to the class. She bade them goodbye and left for her work. She quickly packed the files together and as soon as they got to her work place. She paid

He was angry. Very angry. He dropped the phone that he was holding. What sort of words were those that he just heard? He needed to pay up what money? Money he knows nothing about. He paced to and fro in his house office. Who did this? He knew he did not owe anyone. He needs to go back to his office and that too now. He pulled his jacket and exited the house. His mother called after him but he ignored her. The driver hurried in and Floyd stepped into the car."The company." he ordered in a cold voice. His eyes hard on the message before him. She was doing this. How dare she do this? The driver ignited the car's engine and drove straight to his company. As soon as they got there, he stepped out and made his way to his office where he knew she would be. The workers all scrambled around and began whispering around. He headed towards the elevator which took no minute before it rang out and the door slid open. Then he got to the entrance of the door. His eyes glared daggers at his 'useless
