Friday evening Todd went home early, he has been feeling kind off guilty lately for entertaining any form of likeness to any lady, he decide to visit Sarah’s tomb to tell her all that was in his heart, but he didn’t want to go alone so he went home to pick up Carrie, he knows that no matter how good Donna was with Carrie, one day she will need a motherly love and that day was coming soon. He got Donna to dress Carrie in a warm fluffy coat cause the weather was a bit chilly outside, then he strap her in her car seat and ensure she was secured before entering the driver’s seat and driving off.“Hi honey, it’s been a while since I came here last, Carrie say hi to mummy" he said to Carrie “Hi to mummy” the little girl responded and Todd smiled at her response then he continued “you see how big she is now, and she looks just like you, she has you big brown eye and curly hair and she is a foodie just like you” he paused a little and smiled a he recall how Sarah was with food especially when

Monday morning, Petra came for the meeting, where they discussed the progress of work, after the meeting she was on her way to Todd’s office when she passed by the admin office and overheard them talking about Carl checking out Amber and saying stuffs like Todd liking Amber, she paused and thought for a while, could the clumsy Amber really catch the attention of a man she has been trying so hard to catch for years, she made up her mind to be extra mean to Amber, she was wearing a black jumpsuit with bold make up that makes her stand out as usual, she walked into Todd’s office without knocking “Hi, Mr Anderson” she was saying but Todd raised one 9f his eyes, looked at her and said “you didn’t knock" “oh sorry I kind off forgot” she said and was about sitting down when Todd said “you can kind off get back out and knock" she was shocked, Todd had not spoken to her in that tone before, could he still be mad at her for treating Amber like she did the last time, perhaps what she heard was t

She was in her office going through a file Todd had told her to make corrections on when the land line rang, it was the boss, she picked “come into my office now" he sounded pissed, she ran into his office, knocked lightly and stepped in when he said “come in “she walked in lightly afraid of making him more angry “what’s this” Todd said dropping the document she had brought in earlier on the table “I can’t make head or tails of this, it’s all scattered, is this how you assist me" Todd asked an already scared Amber, he looked up at her and saw how terrified she was so he lower his voice and spoke more calmly “go rearrange those" he said and dismissed her, Amber’s voice was barely audible as she said “okay boss” she walked back to her office blaming herself for not checking again to be sure it was well arranged. Amber gave back the file to Todd when she was done rearranging it, she didn’t think much about what had happened earlier with Burke saying Jen was asking about her and Jen not b

Amber lingered I’m front of Todd’s office, not sure if she should go in or not, he seems nice at times but she was scared he may think she is an opportunist for asking for this, she has no choice though so she knocked on the door lightly hoping he wouldn’t hear, she was about turning back when she heard “come in" she walked into his office slowly, each step she took felt heavier than the previous until she was standing right in front of him looking blankly at the wall behind him, Todd turned back to see what was so fascinating behind him, he saw nothing there so he turned back to her “yes, Amber what is it" she wanted to reply, she wanted to ask for help but her tongue was acting of its own accord, it was like her tongue was glued to the roof of her mouth “can you speak, I have things to sort through, I don’t have all day" Todd said impatiently “am sorry to disturb you but I don’t know what else to do, can I get a loan from the company, please, am willing to sign any legal document st

Todd was disturbed by what he had seen earlier, his wife was killed by the woman of his dreams, like literally, his life seems like a big cruel joke to him, was he been punished for something he had done in his past life, he thought of what to do next bit his thoughts were all muddled up, he wished he could grabbed Amber and squeeze life out of her but that will make him a murderer as well and he didn’t have the guts to do that, he even started liking her nit knowing she was the root cause of his problem, he thought about firing her but that will only make him a total loser, he’ll lose money he had loan to her and she didn’t deserve a penny from him, so he chose to keep her close and torture her as much as he can, if he hands her over to the police they may let her go eventually because the footage did show Sarah running into the road without checking properly. The next day, he prepared a list of things Amber would have to do and called her in to brief her. There was light tapping at
