Charlotte instantly understood what she was talking about, she looked around to see if there were any listening ears before facing Amber and smirked,"Glad you got brains at least, yes, I was the one who stole the file and kept it in your drawer, I planned everything but nobody's gonna know about that" Amber knew it, She knew Charlotte was indeed behind this but she just wanted her to confirm it with her own lips. When Amber didn't respond, Charlotte figured she might still be shocked for learning the truth, she didn't want to waste her precious time with her,"You know what? If I were you Amber, I'll take my bag and just use the exit door behind you never to return again to save yourself from the upcoming embarrassment you'll receive once Xavier tells you that you are fired. "Ta ta" Charlotte said to Amber while laughing at her, she then walked towards the door leaving the company. Amber turned and stared at her retreating back smirking to herself, holding
Ariel's mouth was still hanging open as she listened to what Xavier was saying, he knew?! But how?! Xavier saw her reaction and thought of explaining to her how he found out. So he started explaining, "I found it hard to believe that you could actually do such a thing because even if we don't spend much time with each other, I know you wouldn't be able to do such a thing and that's why I decided to find out the truth myself hence why I told the both of you to leave my office" Xavier ended and waited to see if she was understanding what he was saying, when she nodded in understanding, he continued,"And then that was when I told Hector to send the CCTV footage from this morning" The last sentence he said made Ariel open her mouth in disbelief, she looked up immediately and surveyed the area but she couldn't see a single CCTV camera there, was he lying to her? Xavier almost smiled at her reaction, of course she would try to see if she could find the CCTV cam
"You really trust me this much huh?" Amber joked but deep down she wanted to hear what he would say, he trusted her so much that he went through the stress of retrieving the CCTV footage when the fact that the file was lying in her drawer was already enough proof that she was at fault. Xavier blew a breath, she looked directly at her eyes,"Yes I do" Amber was transfixed by his eyes, she couldn't move from her spot but instead got lost in his eyes. They held their position until the office door suddenly flew open, Amber was the first to remove her gaze from his eyes and looked towards the door to see who had the guts to barge into Xavier's office that way and of course if it isn't Charlotte. Amber thought to herself as she watched Charlotte walk into the office with pride, she was probably here to stir up some trouble since that was what she was mostly good at. Charlotte didn't see Amber around when she got back from the restaurant she dropped by some minu
Amber didn't understand why Charlotte kept doing dumb things all in the name of love, doesn't she have any idea how her acts and attitude were simply unattractive, if she was simply trying to get Xavier to herself, doing all of these evil acts and even putting him at risk wasn't the best choice. Amber almost shook her head in disappointment at her. Charlotte was speechless, she didn't know what to say or do so she simply kept silent and turned towards his door leaving. She slammed the door shut after her. Amber hoped Charlotte would stop trying to devise means to make sure Xavier isn't involved with other women and just focus on herself instead. After Charlotte left, Amber realized there was no need to stand there again so she proceeded to go to her seat when Xavier called her back. Amber paused in her steps and turned to look at him,"Yes?" Xavier smiled at her and said,"Good job and I'm sorry for Charlotte's acts, it won't repeat itself again" Amber smiled back, he didn't need to apo
The persistence in his mother's call distracted him in his other activities, he wondered if she really wanted to call him so bad to complain about Charlotte's attitude or if it as for something urgent. When she called a few more times again, he decided to answer it unwillingly."Hello mum""Have you been ignoring my calls Xavier? Don't lie to me" His mother's voice rang out, she sounded annoyed at him as if she suspected he has been ignoring her calls and just to answer now. "Why did you call mum, I'm kinda busy" Xavier said urging him mum to get straight to the point. He heard his mum let out a frustrated breath as she almost yell through the phone,"What did you to Charlotte that made her angry young man?" Xavier rolled his eyes, and as he suspected it was about Charlotte, he doesn't seem to understand why his mum was to inevsted in that family, was it just because they were richer than them? Xavier could already feel a headache building up as his mum continued ranting,"Apparently he
Sophia still had a fake smile on her lips before Amber left the room which instantly dropped to the lowest when Amber left. She held the dress in her hand and stared at it, she could vividly remember how the dress came about, of course she didn't get it for herself, it was gifted to her by someone. After her incident with Jake four years ago, she received a door delivery a week later, it was a package for her, she remembered asking the delivery man who sent it before she signed because she wasn't expecting a gift from anyone, the delivery man had replied her with a disembodied voice that the package was from Jake Elrod, she remembered how those words gladdened her heart as she quickly signed the paper and told the delivery man a sweet "Bye". She was so happy that a guy like Jake was interested in her, who knew all her joy would be shattered one day when she came to apply as a secretary in his company, she could recall the pain she felt in her heart when he simply looked at her like sh
"Whatever, let's just forget about it now, I don't like the guy anyway" Sophia said dismissively, trying not to be sure of her emotions to make Amber suspect anything. "Well you should girl, come to think of it, you've never had a real relationship after Tyler The toxic Maniac" Amber said to Sophia which made Sophia almost laugh, she told Amber about Tyler at that time also and how he kept pestering her so Amber basically knew everything about him. Sophia sighed and turned towards Amber,"I will be okay? I just want to find the perfect person to be with" She said truthfully, she indeed wanted to find the perfect guy to be with, she didn't trust Jake, if he ever ask her out, she will downright refuse because she already knows his playboy ways, she couldn't risk getting her heart broken one more time. "I hope you do, '' Amber replied. "So what event are you attending?" Amber didn't remember Sophia telling her about any event she was going to attend. "Well apparently my boss got invited t
. "No" Amber replied bluntly, she was disgusted with the fact that the rich think they can get anything they want just because they have the money to spend at will. Just the thought of it was annoying, there was no way she would risk her job just to make a person happy, besides she was still angry at Charlotte so why would she give Charlotte the satisfaction of seeing her run away because of her. Never. "Sorry? What did you say?" Melinda wanted to confirm she heard Amber correctly, she was so sure it was her ears playing tricks on her. "You heard me correctly ma'am, I can't and I won't accept your proposal, besides I like my job so there is absolutely nothing that would stop me from leaving my job at the company." Melinda was flabbergasted at her response, she thought Amber would be so shocked at the offer and agree to it willingly, who would have thought Amber will turn her offer down? Now she was even more certain that Amber didn't want to stay in the company to keep her job, no she
Amber thought Xavier's parents were too hard on him, setting a standard for him that he has to follow just because he is wealthy just didn't seem like the right thing to do to her kids, she will let them choose a path for themselves and guide them if they try to go astray. Unlike Xavier's parents who want him to follow only their rules. Amber shook her head in disappointment at the thought. "Hold up" Sophia said out of the blue, Amber looked at Sophia waiting for what she had to say. "If Charlotte's mother wants to bribe you into leaving Xavier's company just because her daughter wants him to only be her herself then don't you think they are really serious about the arranged marriage?" Amber raised her brow in confusion at her not sure what she was trying to point out. "Don't you get it?" She asked and Amber kept quiet waiting for her to add some sentences that would make her statement clear to her. She soon started talking after seeing her silence,"This means that Xav
