Laura paused in the middle of the hall and turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Where do you think I'm going?" Laura asked him right back. Jason stepped towards her, his voice low as he replied, "Are you playing games with me?" Laura stepped closer, their faces almost touching, as she said, "If I'm playing games, you'll be the first to know." Then she turned and walked to her door. At the door, Laura turned back and added, "By the way, I stay in this suite; I guess that makes us neighbors, don't you think?" Jason watched her walk into the suite and close the door behind her. He could not believe his eyes. "How the hell did I not know?" Jason muttered, walking towards his room in annoyance. He opened the door and walked straight to his bedroom, removing his suit as he walked. "Laura Phillips, renowned analyst and new CEO of Whites consulting firm," Jason read as he went through what Tim had sent to him. He had been amazed to find out she was the one he had gone to the

"Yes, Dalia, what's wrong?" Tina asked "You have a call from the park; it is very urgent, I'm told," Dalia replied. "Tina You should go get it; I hope it isn't something serious," Lily said as Tina hurried into the room. "They probably tried to reach me while I was driving," Tina stated, checking her phone as she walked. Lily stood up and followed Dalia and Tina into the room, hoping to hear Tina's side of the conversation. "Hi, so what's going on over there?" Tina said this on the phone. The look on Tina's face was calm and collected; you could hardly infer anything about the situation from her face. "Okay, I'll relay your message to her, and then we'll move on from whatever decision she makes," Tina said a minute later as she ended the call. Lily walked into the living room to have her seat, while Tina dropped the telephone and followed Lily into the living room. "What was it all about?" Lily asked. "There was a minor accident at the park on one of the roller coasters; than

Laura's voice dropped a notch as she said, "I'm going back home."Audrey couldn't hear what Laura had said. "Did you say something?" she asked."Uhm, no, I'll give Matthew the address," Laura said, calling out the address to Matthew."Okay, ma'am, I know the family that lives there; I worked for them a few years ago," Matthew replied."Oh, really, why did you leave?" Laura asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.Matthew sighed as he recounted his experience of what happened to the Phillips family."I started working with them five years ago, but unfortunately, after a year, they suffered a huge loss," Matthew explained."Was that when you left and stopped working there?" Audrey asked, interested in the story too."No, I left about a year later when they had to let go of some of their staff," Matthew replied."Laura, which family are they?" Audrey asked.Matthew suddenly spoke up, "Ma'am, your name is similar to that family; I wonder if you are related to them."Audrey looked f

They all stared at the door, like it would burst open to reveal an unwanted intruder.At that moment, Laura's phone beeped, signifying that she had a message."Lucy, please come get the door," Anna called out as she admired her perfectly manicured nails."It seems there are more important matters that Laura must attend to," Grace said as she stared at Laura, who was reading the message on her phone."Of course, there are always more important things than her family," Anna mocked.Jerry was silent, comfortably sitting on the couch, unbothered about the whole situation.While Lucy goes to check who was at the door, "Dad, tell me mom's name; I have to go now," Laura states."You only need to do something simple; you should be asking me what I was about to say," Jerry said to her.They could hear the voices from the door. "I wonder who that is," Ann muttered."Maybe Laura brought bodyguards," Grace said, raising her shoulders and hands in a shrug.At the door, Lucy opened it, and standing

"You wouldn't dare!" Shawn shouted, standing up from his seat, his veins visible on his neck."Watch me do it, Shawn; next time you won't mess with my collection or my client," Jason shot back and shut the door behind him.As Jason walked over to the elevator, he saw Shawn's secretary hurrying into the office."Why did you..." Jason heard Shawn ask just before the door shut behind her.A triumphant smile spread across Jason's face as he muttered, "You want war; I'll give you war."Jason had no intention of carrying out his threat against Shawn, but having him think he could was a good hold on Shawn."Jason, please tell me you didn't piss him off," Tim asked as soon as Jason walked back into his office.Jason smiled, his dimple showing off his boyish look as he replied, "No, I only ruffled his fur a little.""Oh, no, war is coming; I need to get new arms. That smile on your face says you didn't just ruffle his fur; you outright pulled them out," Tim replied, shaking his head in concern
