The car was dead-pin silent while they drove back home, Audrey bit her lips while looking out the window. She was so furious that she thought she was going to explode. She was angry not because he kissed her, but because he apologized after such a passionate kiss that was supposed to leave a lingering memory in her head. Arriving at the condo, she goes straight to her room, not saying a word to him, and shutting the door behind her. Carter let out a frustrated sigh while he soaked himself inside his bathtub, so much was going on in his head, he knew she was angry but couldn't understand why a kiss would leave her this furious, so he decided to call Liam, who knew better than him in this aspect. “ Hello! ”. Liam spoke after two rings. “ You are calling me by 1:00 am, this better be important ”.“ Am your boss, I can call you whenever I decide”.“ What is it? ”. Liam asked as he furrowed his brow “ Can I ask you a personal question? ”.“ You are still going to ask even if I say No

Emma accompanied Audrey to the kitchen where she made some bacon and hot coffee, they both sat at the dining table, slowly chewing on the food. “ I barely had any sleep last night ” Emma explain after chewing the last piece of food in her mouth. “ Your father called ”.“ What! My father called you? ”.“ Yes Audrey, not just he called, he called at midnight, he sounded distressed ”.“ Worried about what? ”.“ You, of course, were not picking up his call and he wanted to speak to you”. Audrey rolled her eyes, stuffing her mouth with food. “ So he could ask me for money again, Emma that man sold something that didn't belong to him, and not to forget, that's why am here in the first place”. “ And don't make it sound like there is a bad place to be, please Audrey, I know he wronged you, but he is the only family you have left, go visit him and give him the little that you can.” “ I don't know, we will see about that, for now, I have to get ready for work”. ****Chloe arrived at the o

Liam made sure Carter was comfortable on the bed before heading to prepare him some warm tea, while Chloe damped his head with warm water until he was fast asleep. “ Thanks for your help today, Chloe, you should head home now and get some rest”.“ I should stay here and attend to him, just in case he needs anything ”.“ You don't have to bother, have called his family, and she would be here shortly ”.“ Alright, if you insist, I will wait until she gets here ”. Liam was sweating, his eyes were getting heavy and all he required at that moment was a good night's rest, but Chloe seems to be a pin in the ass and if she stays here when Audrey arrives, it might become a big issue. “ His grandma is fierce, she won't be happy seeing you when she gets here, and might probably misunderstand the whole thing”.“ Alright, I will get going now ” She finally succumbed, walking behind him. She had texted Ashley to go back home with her car, that way she can come up with an excuse to stay back. She

Audrey stood still, not sure her legs wouldn't betray her if she decided to move at that moment, her lower lips trembled as tears rolled down her cheeks at the accusations leveled at her. Now things were finally adding up, he was excited when she came home the previous night, not because he was able to eliminate competition, but because he thought he caught a spy. “ All this time together, you would believe I was capable of such? ” Audrey let the tears pour out, hoping there was some sort of feelings left inside of him. “ The whole marriage was just an act, so yes, I believe you are capable of anything, especially being a snake! ” He rebuked her in the most dreadful way she could ever imagine. “ Then set me free, divorce me this instant, and let me go! ” Her eyes were soaked with tears that she could barely see, yet there wasn't a hint of emotion on his face. Even as Carter sat there glaring at her, the room felt smaller for him, he was growing larger, expanding with rage, he kne

“ I do not have to sign this, you should know that I will never speak about it”. “ The more basis, you should sign it. I am sorry if it seems too extreme, but we are just taking percussion” Liam explained. “ Fine! ” She leaned toward the desk, picked up the pen lying on the table, and read a few lines before signing. “ Anything else? ”.“ None! Clear your desk, you are dismissed! ”. Her eyes popped wide open as she stood up. “ What! You can't do that to me! ”“ Well, I can, and I did. Leave the premises or the security will escort you out”.“ You are making a big mistake here, Mr. Colton knows he needs me more now for the Competition, you can't just terminate my employment like that ”.“ And he also said I should convey to you that you are lucky you are still alive after pulling such a stunt. ”“ You are going to regret this! I promise you! ”.“ Until then ”. Chloe stormed out of his office, banging the door hard. She took the elevator down to her office and exiting the office, sh
