# 21Sloan reached for a glass of wine awaiting Violet , she had asked her to see her before going to the company , she sat at the garden , as the sweet fragrance of flowers filled her nose. “ Good morning ma ” Violet greeted bowing slightly as she pulled out a seat “ Bessie, get Mrs Vanessa a drink ” Sloan ordered “yes ma ” she replied rushing away , she was right she knew the Brookes had hired a new Vanessa , surprisingly she dressed, walked and talked like Vanessa , she must be perfect match . “ I called you to see me , why did you sleep with Ryan, that wasn't part of the plan ” Sloan said as she placed a leg across another “ I never did , he just did said that ” Violet rasped “ I see you're trying to cover your husband up ” Sloan said looking at her “ I'm not covering him up , we did not do anything neither would I do anything ” Violet said while Sloan hissed “ You slutty liar” she cursed angrily beneath her breath “ I am not a slut ma'am ” Violet replied pissed

After the day's job , Mr Brookes bade Violet's good bye as Jones drove out of the premises of the Brookes limited . Violet had a stressful day rehearsing for the meeting next day , she wanted to give up at once without giving it a try but Mr Brookes encouraged her . He was not that bad as Sloan his wife . She likes his simplicity though she wouldn't deny the fact that he was selfish or self centered at times but who isn't self centered when wealthy , her dear husband is also selfish and got married to her for his selfish purpose . Vanessa's phone buzz for a moment, it was Blaze Rancher calling , she wonders whom Blaze was to Vanessa , fiddling with her fingers for some seconds she decides to pick his call . “ Hello Mrs Vanessa Ryan Reynolds ” Blaze said “ Hello ” Violet responded “ You do know who is talking don't you Nessa ” Blaze spoke in a husky from the other end , his voice is filled with emotions and a tone of pain could be heard in every word he spoke “ Ummm

After the day's job , Mr Brookes bade Violet's good bye as Jones drove out of the premises of the Brookes limited . *The Ryan's Mansion * After the little argument which ensued between Ryan and his wife , he never came downstairs until this morning , when he came down he looked furious as if he a person stepped on his toe from the dream world . He puts an all black suit and didn't wait for breakfast although Old Nanny had prepared it early . He snaps at Rico for coming late and orders him to drive to the American- Korean conference room . He needs to be punctual for this contract . He arrives ten minutes late , other CEO's of companies were seated already even the company who wants to offer the contract had their representative seated. “ I think we will proceed with the meeting , anyone who is not present would join the table later ” the speaker said . “ The HK groups of companies wants to have a business partnership with any company who turns out to be the best in

Mr Brookes drove into the company , he had a wrapped present in his hands which was wrapped in a white coloured wrapping sheet and a red ribbon tied to it , it was little and box shaped . He grinned happily like a lover boy who was going to meet his girl , he got to Vanessa's office on the last floor after alighting the elevator . Violet sat on the Chair behind the desk swirling left and right , Mr Brookes smiled watching her from the blinds , Vanessa did that once a while when she was stressed out and probably out of ideas . He knocked the door gently and she asks him to come in . “ Hi Dad ” she greeted cásually “ hi baby ” He answered cheerfully “ i really appreciate your efforts Violet , thank you for not letting me down ” Mr Brookes said sincerely as he handed a box “ it's a token from me ” He added before pulling her into a hug “ thank you and keep up the good work” he spoke into her ears before letting her go . “ I should have spent more time with you but I have an

“ I want you ” Rodney said to Violet his eyes boring into hers ,he brought his lips forward leaning to kiss her . Violet couldn't pick the piece immediately , everything seemed like her imagination was playing games with her , why would Rodney want her , to think of what his mother had done to her is enough reason to distant herself from him . She is married even if it is a contract marriage , she had to respect Ryan and he was seen her brother to the entire public , she wouldn't let him ruin her plans . She quickly garnered her strength pushed him off he didn't bulge instead he held her firmly and tried crushing his lips on hers . Violet was hurt , she didn't like the fact Rodney wanted to have her forcefully despite her refusal , she raised her hands and slaps him hard on his right cheek .Tears welled up in her eyes , one thing she knew for sure he was lusting after her and she can not be his own tool just the way Sloan had made her a tool without putting her into considerat
