¨What exactly happened¨, Cynthia asked Valerie, holding her head as if it was going to fall off. Valerie didn't say a word, but instead stared at her, lost in her own thoughts,¨ Valerie¨, Cynthia called out and Valerie blinked multiple times then turned to look at her. She sighed and pulled her in for a hug. Cynthia stiffened. She shifted uncomfortably but then remained in Valerie's embrace. ¨You don't have to faint on me again next time okay¨, she murmured and Cynthia chuckled. ¨Whatever it was, I guess I had no control over it¨. Valere disentangled and stared at Cynthia's beautiful face for a long while. ¨You are very beautiful Cynthia¨, she said, changing the topic and Cynthia rolled her eyes. ¨I know that you know it¨, she added then there was a brief silence. ¨Your work for today has been postponed on sick leave¨, Valere said and Cynthia frowned, ¨I thought-¨, ¨nothing is more important than your health Cyn. You might be their new money making machine but you have a lif

Jodie sat quietly in her office when she received a notification on her phone. She leisurely picked the phone up but immediately sat up when she saw the topic of gossip. A deep frown appeared on her face, ¨Castro¨, she called out in a loud and frantic voice and in no time, he appeared at her door. ¨Boss¨, he said, he looked at her worried, forgetting all their previous banter. ¨Get me the news on what's happening with Cynthia¨, she asked, trying her best to keep her voice in normal sternness but her face betrayed the hurt beneath. Castro frowned, he loved Cynthia too, just like his daughter. Although he had known her for a short while, he had gotten to love her deeply, she was a special girl, so whatever happened to her would be directly affecting him and Jodie, he looked at her distraught face and knew it was bad. He nodded and quickly walked out of the office. Joddie slumped down and sighed heavily, that girl was not going to handle that gossip well, she wished she could be th

¨Do I really have to be here?¨ Cynthia asked in a small voice as she tried getting herself up but Drake rushed and helped her set her back against the headboard. Her eyes drifted to the rest of the room, ¨Why are you all here?¨ She asked again but no one answered her question. She was currently inside the most exclusive hospital room at Denver People's Hospital which was actually owned by the Larson family, ¨and why am I in a different room?¨ Her eyes scanned the men again but they all seemed to be hesitating to speak. She turned to Drake and Jeffery squeezed the report in his hands. ¨Drake¨, His name sounded so natural in her mouth.¨ What is going on?¨ She asked and he sighed, ¨nothing, just that we are all worried for you¨, he said and sat beside her on the bed. Cynthia felt overwhelmed. In all her life, she never met anyone who genuinely cared, well except Jodie and Valerie. Valerie, her mind went back to the photo that had landed her into the hospital. She hated herself fo

¨Are you sure we are doing the right thing?¨ The green haired guy asked Castro as they packed their bags to leave the airfield. Castro paused, ¨you doubt Jodie´s designs on Cynthia? Or is it Cynthia you underrate?¨ He asked, narrowing his eyes at the man.¨ No no no¨, he stammered in response, ¨I mean, this is not our territory and I know our arrival could have alerted some people already- either people we know or not…¨ he finished and swallowed hard. They all knew it was risky, but they had come already. ¨It is risky, but this is Cynthia we're talking about, and who is that weak guy afraid of Jodie and three men in two cars?¨ Castro reasoned, though in his heart, he knew it was risky. ¨I get it¨, the man answered. They finished packing the bags into the SUV and got in before following the one ahead in which Jodie was seated. ¨My baby must be really worried right now, maybe she's not even eating¨, Jodie said sadly as she stared blankly at her reflection in the pocket mirror. The d

¨Let´s cut the crap Jackson, It's today I'm learning you're the CEO I've been working my head off to please, how did you get to accept my proposal after all those rejections?¨ Jeffery asked seriously. He had a feeling he was being played but couldn't tell who was in control of the chess pieces. At first, he thought it was Drake who had interfered with his itinerary, but after learning it was the invincible head of COMO, he couldn't relate it with Drake anymore. But he still had many questions to ask, and the so called business trip they had agreed on in the meeting was one of the things he was not so free to participate in. Jackson watched Jeffery with a mocking smile, he was not so pleased with this arrangement either, but what could he do, he had orders to carry out. He sighed, ¨Im going to be honest with you Jeffery, I've never liked you, and you know that, well we both know that-¨ he paused, ¨but -¨, he added, flanking his dirty brown hair aside and walked a little closer then
