As soon as Mel reached the coffee shop, she turned around to see if the woman had followed her there, but thankfully she was out of sightFeeling a sense of relief flood over her. She quickly made her way inside the shop, the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. Letting out a deep sigh, she pulled out her phone and dialed Maya's number."Hey, Maya You won't believe what just happened to me," she said as soon as her friend answered."What? Did you finally get on the CEO's good side?" Maya laughed"No, it's not that," Mel said, her voice shaking slightly as she recounted the encounter with the mysterious woman.Maya listened intently, her laughter fading as Mel described the fear and uncertainty she had felt."Oh my word, that's so creepy," Maya said, her voice full of concern. "Are you okay? Do you want me to come and meet you?""No, I'm fine, I'm sitting in a coffee shop right now, Mel said, trying to sound more confident than she felt." I just needed to talk to so
Just when she was about to loose hope, a deep male voice asked from behind her, "Are you looking for this?" Mel turned around to see who it was. It was Ethan, he stood there holding her bracelet in his hand.Her heart skipped a beat, She thought he had gone home earlier, What was he doing with her bracelet she wondered,Well, she couldn't stop to think more, at this moment all that mattered to her was getting her precious bracelet backShe rushed over to him immediately, her eyes filling with tears of relief. "Thank you so much," she said, taking the bracelet from him.Ethan looked puzzled, why was this strong willed employee of his tearing up because of a mere bracelet or was there more to it? Looking at her curiously. He demanded to know "Is there a story behind this bracelet?"Mel hesitated for a moment, not wanting to reveal too much about the sentimental value of the bracelet, after all they weren't close enough to give out such information "It's just a bracelet that I bought," s
It was a Saturday morning and the sun had just begun to rise, casting a golden glow over the sky outside. The first rays of light filtering in through the window and landing on her face made Mel stir from her sleep. She stretched her limbs, feeling the warmth of the blankets against her skin.Rubbing get eyes moderately, She sat up in bed, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. Her mind was buzzing with different thoughts.Getting out of bed, she slipped her leg into a pair of cozy slippers. She decided to start her day with a workout, so she changed into her workout clothes and headed out for a morning jog. The fresh air and exercise energized her, and she felt rejuvenated by the time she returned home.Back at home, Mel took off her workout wears placing them in the laundry basket as she made her way into the bathroom, she turned on the shower reveling in the sound of the water splashing against the tiles, After adjusting the temperature to her liking, she ste
It was another bright day, a Sunday morning, Mel woke up, feeling well-rested after a long week. She stretched her arms and yawned, taking a moment to appreciate the comfort of her bed. She glanced at her phone to check the time and saw that it was already past 9 am. Mel smiled to herself, knowing that she could take her time getting ready for the day ahead.She picked up her phone which was buzzing with several notifications, After checking her social media and Emails, she got up from the bed and walked into the kitchen to make some coffee. She took a moment to savor the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee before pouring herself a cup. As she sipped her coffee, she hummed a tune to herself, feeling relaxed and content.Mel checked her calendar to see what she had planned for the day. She saw that she had a few things to do including grocery shopping and picking up a package from the post office, However, she decided to start the day off with some exercise.Mel changed into her workout
Mel stepped out of her apartment, taking in a deep breath of the cool morning air. She had her coffee in hand and was ready to start the day. She walked down the sidewalk, heading towards the road. As she walked by, she saw some other people heading to work, some in suits and others in a more casual attire. Arriving at the road, she flagged down a cab,As the car made its way through the city, she continued to sip on her coffee, enjoying the smooth taste and the warmth it provided on the chilly morning.she pulled out her phone to check her emails and catch up on any messages from her colleagues. She scrolled through a few emails and then began looking through her schedules for the day, she saw that she had to meet with the design team to discuss new shoe designs this morning as well as a presentation to the marketing team about the upcoming shoe collection. Mel was prepared for the day as she knew it would be busy.When She finally arrived at work, she headed straight to her office.
Mel's heart was pounding in fear as she sat in the cab, her eyes darting around anxiously as they approached the SLE clubhouse. Since she received the distress call from Maya, she was left wondering what was wrong as she hurried to the Club. The cab finally came to a stop and she stepped out of the cab. She made her way towards the entrance of the clubhouse where she saw Maya leaning on a pillar, looking disorganised and out of it. Mel hurried over to her and made her sit down, her friend's slurry words barely registering"I don't know...I feel weird...someone gave me something," she mumbled.Realising that her friend had been drugged, Mel began to panic "Hang in there, she said gently shaking her friend's arm. Don't fall asleep, okay? We need to keep you awake."But despite Mel's efforts, Maya's eyes slowly begins to close.Just then, Leo emerged from the club and approached them. Mel glared at him, her instincts telling her that this man was trouble."Who are you?" she asked sharpl
Mel stood by the window, staring into space, she couldn't take her mind off what she knew about Maya's condition, she needed to do something, the doctor had told her earlier that Maya needed to be treated soon as possible since a large amount of the drug was put in her drink. "That bastard she thought" She needed to get justice for Maya but how could she achieve that. first, she didn't have any influence neither did she have a clue regarding the whereabouts of the culprit. Just then a thought struck her, what if she reached out to the CEO, he appeared to be the only one that could help out in this situation. With his connection, there was a high chance that the culprit would be brought to book. But how was she going to convince him to help? he had clearly told her he didn't want to get involved at the club. Steepling her fingers, she paced to and fro around the room. Few minutes later she had come to a decision, she was going to seek his help, There was no assurance that he would suc
The days ran past and Friday soon came. Maya had recovered to some extent and she was to be discharged soon.With her eye wide open and her lips moving, she sat up on her bed having a chat with Mel who was seated beside her bed. "I can't believe you're in the hospital because of some stupid guy who spiked your drink," Mel said, shaking her head."I know, right?" Maya replied recalling what happened. "I should have been more careful. What are you doing here, anyway?""I'm here to keep you company, silly," Janet said with a smile. "And to make sure you don't get too bored."Her friend chuckled weakly. "Aww, you're such a good friend. But seriously, did the CEO let you take time off?" she asked arching a brow."Well, technically I did take the day off. But I didn't ask for his permission. I just told him I wouldn't be in today.""Ha! You rebel, you! I can just imagine his face when you told him that." Maya exclaimed with a chuckle"Yeah, as usual he was difficult but I managed to convin
