Amber gasped after Charlotte accused her of stealing the file, she would never do such a thing to anyone, of what benefit will be to her anyway? Amber raised her brow at Charlotte,"What nonsense are you saying? Why would I even do that in the first place?" Amber asked staring directly at Charlotte who didn't look fazed at all and kept on saying,"I should be asking you that? Why would you do such a thing? I remember coming into this office early in the morning to see you were already here and it seems you were quite busy with something, when I asked you about it, you flinched right? You did, so that only means you were the person who stole it". Amber felt a headache coming up, she didn't understand why Charlotte would turn the table against her so casually when she was indeed the one who caught her in the office that morning, what's with the lies? Amber looked at Xavier and her heart dropped instantly to his stomach when he looked at her as if he didn't wa
"Do not turn the tables on me Charlotte, I saw you here first in the office, didn't I? So why the lies huh? You know very well I wasn't the one who stole that file so what's the use blaming it on me?" Amber finally replied back at Charlotte, who didn't seem fazed at all but let out a dry chuckle, glaring at Amber she asked,"What are you implying Amber? That I'm telling lies?" Amber stared at her with the same equal glare and replied,"Yes and not only that, you might even be the person who st-"You know what? Nobody cares about your opinion anyway so keep it to yourself" Charlotte cut Amber's words short and turned to Xavier,"So what are you going to do now Xavier? Surely you can't let her continue working here right? Here is the proof that she's not only a Sly but she could be working for other people in pretext that she's working for you just to dig up things about you" After Charlotte said that, she stared at Amber and smirked, she was 100% sure
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
