Veldana’s POVI got to the studio by 10:am after I had gone home to have my bath, the studio looked scanty.It was just Freya sitting at the single office table, she had been busy on her phone, but as soon as she saw me she dropped it, stood up, and walked towards me. “I thought you'd still stay at the hospital,” she said, hugging me.“We still have some jobs to do,” I replied dryly, rubbing my hand on my forehead.“You should sit down,” she ushered me to the couch in the studio and we both sat down on it.“How do you feel this morning, yesterday afternoon when we were talking you zoned,” she said and without giving me a chance to continue, “I tried to snap you out of it nothing was working, I should have called you this morning but I was busy.”“It's fine and I am fine.” I lied to her because I did not want to talk about it anymore. “What gig are we taking today and what time is it?” I asked immediately to change the topic.She got up from where she was sitting by my side and went

Veldana’s POVHe slapped me.“Are you blind?” Gary asked me again. I just stood there dumbfounded and speechless.“It seems as though you’re deaf also,” he hissed.“I’m sorry,” I managed to say, still rubbing my face.Without apologizing about the slap, he walked away. I stood there watching him walk away, I did not even know when I started crying. I cleaned my eyes, I decided to just head to Eldric’s office. I went to his office, he was at his desk when I entered. He looked serious as he flipped open the files in front of him.“Are you busy?” I asked even before I entered the office.He raised up his eyes to look at me, immediately he saw that I was crying. He dropped down the file and got up.“No I’m not busy,” He said away from the table towards me. “Why are you crying?” “Everything…” I said breaking down even more. “Everything is happening at the same time.”“Calm down.” He said as he hugged me. “Stop crying.”He wiped my tears but it just made me more teary, then he guided

Author’s POV“Will you take the job?” Frank asked her again.“I don’t have a choice now, do I?” She asked him rubbing her forehead. He wasn’t aware of the situation she had with Maurice.

It’s just that getting another job right now might be late next week, this is the only space I can fit you in for now.”She nodded subtly not saying anything back to him.“Why do you even need a new job, are you no longer singing?” He asked me looking concerned.“I am still work as a singer Sir Frank, I just need the extra money for Leila’s medical bills.” She replied him.“Hmm, I thought you had sorted that out.” “No I have not, I’m still working on it.” she decided to change the topic,“What time should I come back for the job? Or should I just meet you guys there?” “There’s a bus taking the staffs there this evening, but anyone convenient for you is what you should do.” Frank concluded.“I have one last question though.” “Ask away.” He said “It is an aft

Veldana’s POV“So you had a cleaning job yesterday evening to this morning?” Freya asked. I nodded amidst sobs“Also you knew that it was his firm and you took the job?” She asked again looking at me confused.“Yes, he wasn’t supposed to be there.” I said crying. “You know this person hates your guts yet you took a job to work at his firm.” She replied. “Did you think about the fact that even if he was not there he could have seen your video on the CCTV and still accused you of theft?”She was correct, but I needed the money. “The next available job after this was late next week and the pay was really nice. That was why I took it.” I was crying uncontrollably now.She dropped the phone in her hand on the file and tried to hug me though it was uncomfortable in this car. “What are we going to do now? What if he decides to get you arrested?” She asked which just made me sob more cause now I thought of how Leila would survive without me. “Or worst ask you to pay for the missing items,

Author’s POVMaurice finally released Veldana from the cleaning work, and a while after she had gone. He decided that he wasn’t done punishing her so he called one of his guards.
