With everything back in order, or seeming like it's in order in Tara's hands, she manages to make her way through the elevator without spilling anything, and then the doors open for her to meet Ford's secretary.She comes to give her a hand with everything she's carrying. "Thank you very much. It's some office wears for your boss. If you could send the package to his house, I will greatly appreciate it." Tara instructs her so nicely."Sure. Let me help you with those. Drop those ones on the waiting chair there. I'll get the delivery man."After everything in her hands have finally been laid down, Tara stretches her back and groans."Can I go in?"Tara frowns slightly. "What else do you have to do? I thought you just needed to deliver the clothes?""I'm not a delivery person." She replies brightly. "I'm also a guest of Miss Sue's.""Oh, I see." She replies drily. "What's your name so I can let them know you're here?""It's Tara. Tell her Tara is here."For a moment, no one speaks and T

"Here's the first house on our list" Tara announces, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.She's getting her own house, in a different state, with a better paying job and now, she can also afford to buy designer wears and accessories for herself with her salary.When she and Raya and had heard and seen the contract for their new posts, they had squealed, hugged and then squealed again. The lawyer who had brought the documents was entirely confused all through, wondering why they were so happy but he would not understand the kind of change they are going into.She and Raya had met each other at an orphanage when they were twelve and fourteen years old respectively. They had immediately become friends, amidst all of the bickering, and had stuck together.Once, Tara was to get adopted. She cried for them to take Raya as well but they had only finances to adopt only one child. Tara would not give in, even when Raya tearfully tried to persuade her to go on and lead a good life an

Sue thinks for a moment and then speaks. She touched Tara's hand very lightly. "This is Tara, the Atlanta branch's executive director. We don't have a lot of people just yet. You could apply. We'd seriously consider you." She informs her as the elevator doors open.Ella and Evans side step the other two and exits the elevator, but not before Ella responded to Sue's offer. "I'll take you up on that offer." She smiles warmly, just as the elevator closes and then descends into the basement where their own car is parked and waiting."But she was working in B&F before..." Tara lets her words trail off but Sue knows the entirety of everything she wanted to say.Sue smiles. "Yes. I got to know her because of that particular scandal, but something in me just likes and trusts her."Tara chuckles. "Don't you just trust everyone?""No, I don't."And then her mind wanders to Elise. Now that one is gone too, how will she ever find her again? It's only normal to make mistakes, sometimes, the mistak

Pacing around, restless and all out of sorts, Sharon looks scared as she walks the length of the sitting room, back and forth, dialing and redialing James's number. For hours on end, she has been calling his number and for the same number of times she has called, it had told her the same answer.The number you have dialed is unavailable.She feels like she's going to go crazy from frustration.The front door opens and Alexa steps in. Seeing her mum's state, she shakes her head, in disappointment. "He really isn't there. The nurses said he left there some hours ago in the afternoon.Sharon drops into a chair, down cast. "What am I going to do without out him? He's all I've got."Alexa sits beside her mum and pats her back like she did a few hours ago as well. "He left this behind." She dips her hands into her pocket and produces the card James had left behind.Sharon takes it from her. A hint of a smile appears on her face.Alexa smiles too. "I knew that will cheer you up."Sharon turn

Brian stands there, watching the black SUV drive out of the prison gates and he nurses a sly smile on his face. He had to admit, Sue has gotten even prettier than the last time they had set their eyes on one another. She had been a young pretty girl, heavily pregnant back then. Her eyes though, still calls out to him on his dark and lonely nights.She didn't seem to have recognized him though. He smiles to himself. He enters the building as well, doing the regular processes and asking to see Gail.He was led to the same room where she had met with Sue and was in a bad mood about it.When she sees Brian, she starts to look hopeful but his straight face makes her resort back to her signature expressionless face even though inside, she is seething."Good afternoon." She greets him.He looks her over passively. "Sit down."She takes a chair obediently and sits down, the same chair she had sat in when Sue was in the room with her."I reckon it was you those two women came to see? What was
