Before going to look wherever Wilhelm has been dragged to, she looked for miss pixie. Same lady she acted unfriendly to earlier.
She saw her talking to some of the guests with that wide smile of hers plastered on her face.
Pixie noticed that she was waiting on her and politely excused herself to get to her.
"I'm not going to apologize for earlier. Because I'm not like you who dash smiles on a gold platter to strangers. But I am thankful that you left them for me."
"It's okay." And there was that smile of hers again. So huge that it showed her entire thirty-two set. Maybe she should call her Miss Smiley instead.
"I was coming to call you before meeting them."
"Call me? For what?"

Karen went on. "It's not just about work, is it? You wouldn't fight for him just because of the work, would you?"She looked around suspiciously even though she didn't have to because no one lived with Karen. Richard only comes to visit when he deems it fit."I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't act dumb. Can't you see that you've changed?""This is how I've always been. Maybe you didn't know because you never crossed me until now.""That too but what I mean is that you've changed. You as a whole. Just look at yourself." She waved her hands over her body."I still don't know what you're talking about, Karen." She replied innocently."Then you should just enjoy it." She poin

Mondays are famous for being long, and super tiring but Destiny's Monday turned out differently. Well, except for the duration part.The day didn't drag on. It flew by quickly unexpectedly.Perhaps it is because she reported late or because Wilhelm has been out the entire day and she had to bury herself in a book she was reading when she didn't have anything to do and also to not feel his absence.A distraction seemed to be the best plan.Wilhelm had told her that he would only return to the office if his meeting ended early. And she had hoped that he'll get to finish in time and come.Getting a distraction was a bit impossible and trying to be busy was a challenge she was trying to hold up. Even though she might be engrossed in whatever she w

"First of all, you're all welcome." All eyes were on him."To save time, I'll dive right in. Mr. Todd, as the financial officer, can you tell me the duties of an accountant?"There were indistinct murmurings between them."With all due respect, Mr. Grey, I know my job." The middle-aged man answered."If you do then are you aware that the company's funds are outrageously being embezzled?!"They whispered among themselves. Realization dawned on the faces of some."I got to know but before I could do anything about it, you called for the meeting."Okay. Destiny bit her lips harshly."Don't start creating excuses for your inco

Without a word, he grabbed her by the wrist, matched her to the elevator, and pressed the top floor button."What are you doing?""What did you think of going to do down there?""To show Richard his place. If I didn't have any reason to fire him earlier, now I do and even then I did. I am not God to overlook all that, Mr. Grey. He needs to be punished." Her body shook all over. The thirst to see Richard suffer consumed her."I agree with you but I want us to catch him red-handed then you can punish him anyhow you want.""What makes you think the others won't cover up for him? That they are not going to give him a fucking headup?""They won't dare. Trust me, I have it all under control. And

"I uh.. I..." She stuttered. "This shouldn't be happening. I'm not supposed to do this." She massaged her forehead slowly."Why not?""The corporation is falling apart. So many things are happening to it and I just found out. I should be doing something to bring it back. Not this. And especially not now." She began to pace. "I'd be selfish if I...""Then be it." He cut her off."What?""If this would calm your nerves for now, then be selfish.""The heck are you saying?" She shook her head, turned around and began to walk away.Her nerves.Does she need it?'Do I need it?'

Once she entered, her face met directly with her grandfather's. He stood up when he beheld her."What on Earth are you doing here?"Dennis raised his brows at her sharply. She dropped her bag and folded her arms to her chest stubbornly.How long has he been waiting anyway? She thought."I heard that you were unwell so I came to check up on you." He dragged his eyes on her worriedly.Damn Karen.She bit her tongue from asking. "Why do you care?" Because she knows that even though Dennis is not in support of her decisions, he cared. He still does a lot for her."As you can see. I'm as fit as fiddle." She replied."Okay
