The next morning, Lisa went to the Goodwin genetic testing center as per her appointment. She waited at one of the coffee tables as agreed. Dr Halliwell and Dr Stays came with the report. “Ms. Henke, I am afraid we don’t have good news.” Dr Stays started the conversation. “What do you mean?” Lisa clutched her heart. “The child has no relation with the sample provided.” Dr Stays moved the certification report towards Lisa. Lisa frowned as she looked at the report with misty eyes. ‘After all these years of waiting and plotting, she was still a loser. No, she hasn’t lost yet!’ She raised her head, her eyes narrowed with determination “I don’t care what your report says. You will re-write it to what I want it to say.” “I am afraid we can’t do that.” Dr Halliwell broke the stalemate. “You don’t want your families anymore?” Lisa sat back with her hands crossed and raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “What’s our family got to do with this?” Dr Stays shook his head before explaining “We on
“Nothing of significance.” Bertie smirked and then slapped the back of his head “Oh… there was something about Uncle Sheridan hiding his illegitimate sons.” “Is that why Auntie is upset?” He turned his innocent gaze at Mrs Sheridan and looked at her with sympathy. Don’t look at how carefree and innocent Bertie looked on the surface. In terms of ruthlessness and venomous tongue, he was no less than his big brothers. “What illegitimate?” Mrs Sheridan fumed. Technically her children were all illegitimate and this was a sore point. “Did I say the wrong thing?” Bertie feigned innocence and scratched the back of his head. “Let’s not beat around the bush.” Lester spoke once he calmed his emotions “You and I know what I am talking about.” “How come I don’t follow?” Bryan hooked his eyebrows as he narrowed his eyebrows. His expression didn’t seem to give away anything. Ben and the rest all had poker faces. “I am not sure how I offended you lot except for the misappropriation of funds. But
Skylight clubhouse, the most popular hangout place in the city... the "go to" place for the extremely rich elite and also the middle class. This is also the uniqueness of skylight. The middle open space tables could be booked for a table at 2000 dollars, whereas the private rooms could cost anywhere between 10000- 1 million, depending on how long they were reserved for.Dana, wearing a wine-red top and jeans-colored capri, walked in looking left and right, fidgeting with the handle of her handbag. She hated places like this, the smell of alcohol in the air made her uncomfortable. Normally she would decline catch up invitations from her colleagues to places like this, but Therese was one of her close friends and this was her farewell party. This was the reason she braved her inner demons to be here to celebrate one last time. Spotting Maylin and Angus at the middle table, Dana squeezed past the enthusiastic patrons."OMG! Look who's here" Lara screamed as she rushed over with open arms
After Jeremy left, Frank and Sarah walked into the box. Dana felt it was inappropriate for her to stay; she muttered "Bastard" as she walked out fuming at his insolence.“Give me a call when you have decided on a place for dinner” Ben added, as she reached the door, crossing the stunned Sarah.Ben looked at the departing figure with an amused smile. He picked up his phone "Shadow, I want all the details of the person who just left the box.""Male or female Boss?""What do you think?" Ben retorted with a laugh in his voice."Right away."Ben looked at Frank's and Sarah's imploring gazes without any intention of quelling their curiosity as he disconnected the call."Why do I feel she was annoyed with you although you helped her?" Frank asked tactfully when he could no longer hold it in...Ben didn't take the bait... he flashed one of his 'none of your business' smile, swirling the red wine in his cup. He didn't want to take a sip...he didn't want to lose the sweet taste of the kiss. Thi
Back in the apartment, Dana and Lara settled on their favorite couches with a cup of coco.“Now can we talk about why you are acting weirdly?” Dana looked at Lara with an aura that did not leave room for negotiation.“Actually, I want to tell you but I don’t know how?” Lara hesitated. This was very rare for Lara, who was straightforward and straightforward. She would never hesitate to speak her mind.“What is it about the topic that makes you hesitate?” Dana prompted gently.“I don’t want to hurt you?”“Is it something you did?”“No… ” Lara lowered her head guiltily "maybe unintentionally."“Well, if it’s unintentional, why would I be hurt? Am I unreasonable?"“I mean my involvement is unintentional but not the matter as such, isn't.” Lara explained.Dana thought for a moment before asking “Do you think you would want to know if our roles were reversed?”“Yes”“Then you know the answer” Dana smiled.Lara looked at her peaceful expression and asked carefully “How would you feel if you
A week passed by uneventfully other than Ben’s short fuse, which kept making life hell for people working closely with him.“Lisa, where the hell is the report from the advertising division?” Ben’s stroppy voice came over the intercom.Lisa picked up the phone and replied politely “CEO, Terence will bring the report at 11 am. He has requested an extension and you previously approved it.”“Don’t be long winded. Tell Terence to pack and head to the HR section and give the job to someone who can do it.”“CEO…”“What? If it’s difficult, you can head to the HR section yourself….I am surrounded by incompetence.” Ben snarled before slamming the phone.“Hurry up and get on with your stuff or you can roll. CEO is in a bad mood!” Lisa sighed as she rushed the giggling young secretaries back to their desks. Well, they were younger than her. They had come out of the secretarial office as they heard the CEO’s thunder over the intercom and wanted to watch the show. Ben rarely lost his temper and wa
Lisa sat fidgeting her fingers for half an hour before deciding to take a look. She pressed her ear against the door. The sound proofing in the CEO’s room was good. She gently turned the knob and opened the door leaving a tiny space between the door and the wall, hardly enough for someone to notice that the door was open, but enough to hear the conversation. She saw Shadow standing with his back to her while the other three were sitting as she peeped in; she then leaned against the space with her ears, but could not hear a sound. Lisa could not believe that four grown men could still in a room for an hour without saying a word. ‘What was all this about? Even the major general was here!’ She was too engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the movements in the room.Ed opened the door and Lisa fell in due to inertia, having positioned herself with her ear against the wall. Ed side stepped with a look of disgust and he threw a ‘told you so’ look at Ben before walking out.Fran
They headed to the café opposite the building and sat talking for half an hour before heading back. Ed, Frank and Shadow insisted on following him back. They were all curious about Ben’s certainty. Ed was certain, but he wasn’t sure if she would take the bait in half hour. Common sense would demand that you wait until you have a bigger window of opportunity but Ben argued that she would not wait.“Afternoon CEO, Major General, General, Mr Weldon” Lisa stood up and greeted them as they walked past. Everyone except Ed nodded their heads in acknowledgement before entering Ben’s office.Shadow locked the door as he was at the tail.“She’s good” Ed acknowledged.Ben raised his eyebrows while the other two stared plainly.“The folder hasn’t visibly moved from its spot. I had intentionally placed it at the corner of this table to form an empty space of an acute triangle between the folder and table” Ed explained pointing at the angle the folder rested on the table.Ben came back with the nin
