Henry took his head into his hands. Mira wasn't going to bend unless he does something to convince her since she won't hearken to his pleas."We are not different here. Sometimes we have to tell white lies. I can help you too Mira." he spat.Dane arched his brow. What was Henry going to help Mira with? he thought.Mira came to the company because she needed Henry to do her a favour. After their conversation that morning, he had promised that he would look into the matter."Are you trying to blackmail me?"Henry rolled up his sleeve and flashed a quick smile at Dane who was looking at him with a blank expression."It's not blackmail Mira. We both need to stroke each other's back to get our needs so what do you say?" asked Henry.There was silence from Mira's end and Henry knew she was pondering on the offer. He decided to carry on."I'll grant your request Mira and You know you can count on me. I give you my word, your problem will be solved. All you have to do is solve mine.." Henry m

If Mira was bent on making her worried and anxious, then it was working. At one point, she felt as if Mira knew something and at another point, the woman was playing dumb."Uhmmm, " she began to stammer. There was no way she was going to tell Mira that Henry hired her based on a so-called contract."I guess I was perfect for the job." she managed to say."I guess so," Mira replied.Eve sighed. If only the woman knew that she was a tech girl that had nothing to do with being an assistant."So are there any exciting things you'll want me to know about Henry?" Mira blurted.Eve was taken aback by the question. She placed her left hand on top of her trembling right hand to prevent the telephone from slipping through her gasps.That was the opportunity she was dying to get, the opportunity to spread out Henry's dirty linens to his wife."Are you there?"Eve's heart skipped a beat.Speak, her mind encouraged her. Maybe not today she thought. The question was sudden and she wasn't prepared

Eve lowered the spoon and turned away. So Mira invited her to a feast so she could seduce her to speak? Mira cleared her throat loudly and Eve turned to face her with a fake smile."I mean, does my husband go out with new friends? Maybe a particular friend?"Eve went for her glass of wine."It's okay if you don't want to answer," Mira said with a smile and grabbed an apple from the small fruit basket."Well, Dane is one friend I know Henry can't do without. I'm not sure he had other friends that he relates with as he does with Dane." Eve replied."They are like brothers," Mira affirmed.Mira reclined on the sofa and crossed her legs. "Our marriage was an arranged one and that's why it seems as if I don't know much about him even though we've been married for three years," she revealed.The spoon slipped from Eve's right hand. She hummed. Her guess was right and she could tell that Mira was insecure.Mira continued speaking. "So Eve, I'll appreciate it if you don't hide anything from

Eve agreed with a nod. Of course, Mira didn't see it coming but the hate club had suggested that she take advantage of the opportunity to tell Mira everything, especially because the woman doesn't reside in the city."I wanted to know about Henry's work and schedule but it appears I learnt much more," Mira said and opened her palms wide open before Eve with a sad smile.Eve finally looked the woman straight in the face. In her mind, she commended Mira for her composure. Other women would have dragged her to filth, hurled insults at her or created a scene but Mira was sitting beside her, trying to analyze the predicament.Fuck! Henry doesn't deserve such a good woman Eve concluded and stroked her forehead. Mira was still speaking. "I thought that maybe as his assistant, you would help me with all the information I need so that I could keep up with his schedule from Hong kong. I've asked him on several occasions but Henry always felt that it wasn't necessary to inform me. According to

Henry parted his lips and was about to speak when Mira charged toward him, dropped her purse on the table and sent a hard slap on his left cheek.The act caused Dane to jump out of the chair. "I'll take my leave now," he said and vanished.It was now a family affair and Dane knew he had to exit. The slap was a confirmation that Mira actually met up with Eve and must have been fed lots of information.Henry stared at the raging woman standing before him. She was taking deep breaths and looking like a predator that was about to pounce on its prey.He stroked his left cheek and clenched his jaw. "Did you slap me?""Maybe I can do that again," Mira replied and lifted her left palm.Henry's eyes widened in horror. He wouldn't be surprised if she sends another slap across his cheek. She was burning with rage."I'm so disappointed in you Henry. Yes, I've always known you to be bad but I never thought you could be this rouge."Henry shook his head and placed both his hands on the table. Now,
