Elena sat on her bed blinks Ng rapidly trying to clear her head and her mind but she couldn’t make sense of the call she had just received.“How did Sarah end up sleeping with a stranger”She muttered and tried to think back to previous night, flashes of last night played in her memory and she remember vaguely Fred telling someone to take Sarah home.Her eyes became wide and round like a sauce pan the moment she realised what had happened.“Oh shit”She said face palming herself.“what have I cause, if I hadn’t insisted on taking her out to forget about Carl, this wouldn’t be happening”She said, her index finger on her right hand was at the corner of her mouth as she thought about the whole thing.Grabbing her phone she dialled Fred’s number but there was no response, she tried it again and this time he picked up the call but even before she could say anything, she heard his strained voice.“i’ll call you back”He said and cut the call, Elena felt the hair on her body stand
Not knowing what to do, Elena decided to stop by to get Mrs Derek’s record, since Mrs Derek was the first to report a case against Giant’s limited, Elena wants to starts from the beginning and see if there’s any loophole that can help clear Fred’s name. she quickly turned left after making up her mind, she walked straight to the record room where all the file containing cases are kept, it was easy to locate Mrs Derek’s file as the files were arranged alphabetically, Elena simply scanned through the files till her eyes landed on the ones that started with letter D, she proceed to look closely at the files until she found the one with Derek case written boldly on the edge, picking up the file she looked through the information on Mrs Derek, she brought out her phone and took pictures of the pages that shows information like her house address and phone number, then she placed the file back and rushed out of the record room.Tracing the address on the picture she took, she found Mrs De
“Mrs Sean” the nurse called out, Elena stood up quickly to assist Mrs Sean up, raising her hand she signalled to the nurse. Elena had always been the one taking Mrs Sean for her monthly check up at the hospital where they monitor her blood pressure level.“We’re here" she said, the nurse pointed to the doctor’s office and Elena held Mrs Sean as they walked towards the doctor’s office, the strong smell of medicine that always seems to linger in the hospital hits her nose and she twitched her nose, glancing at the old watch on her wrist and shook her head, pressing her thin lip together she hoped they could get through this check up quickly, she hates the hospital smell and she was late for work.After the check up Elena dropped the Mrs Sean back at her house, she didn’t stop to look around or check for Ethan she dashed to the door and ran as fast as she could to the taxi waiting.“Lingdon Street, number twenty" she said to the driver looking out the window, her brows furrowed, her s
After the close of work, Elena was exhausted from all the cleaning, her blouse stuck to her body because of the sweat on her body but she didn’t let that stop her, her mission might have been delayed but she wasn’t deterred, she rushed out of the office and took a taxi to Sean’s residence to give Ethan a surprise visit and check on Mrs Sean, as she approached their entrance she heard Mrs Sean asked Ethan a question and her step faltered, she stopped in her tracks immediately and bent down to avoid them seeing her through the window, she could hear their voice faintly but if she stretched her ears enough and listened carefully she could hear everything they were saying.“So when are you planning to hold the wedding" Mrs Sean ask “I’ll have to get back to you on that" she heard Ethan said and she had a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach, she ignored her feelings covering her mouth with her hand to avoid making any sound as different thoughts drift through her mind, she didn’t
Ethan looked up at the click sound of the door and found Elena standing there, his brows raised slightly as he began to cough from shock.“What are you doing here" He asked when his cough calmed, he quickly sat up on the bed using the blanket to cover his nakedness, Shirley couldn’t stand up for the bed either cause her clothes were scattered all over the floor, Elena looked at the two people on the bed, her expression blank as she said“is she the one you’re getting married to"“What" Ethan said, shocked to know she knew about his wedding plans“Wait, we’re getting married” Shirley asked as her interest piqued“who told you I was getting g married"Elena ignored his question and focused on Shirley “well, miss Backstabber, am sure he’s planning his wedding to someone and since you know noting about it, I guess he’s just playing you as well" a cold smile surfaced on Elena’s face as she said those words, watching Shirley’s expression change to horror“You’re getting married" Shirle
By 6:00am Elena got out of her bed grudgingly, using her hand to wipe away locks of red hair from her face she made her way to the wash room, after cleaning up she looked at herself in the mirror and said“well, no one has to know what am going through” she felt relieved at the image that starred back at her, her red hair was no longer scattered in her head, it was packed into a clean ponytail, her face looks fresh and her blue eyes though swollen a bit from last night crying looks much better now, she quickly dabbed her face with powder to make herself look more presentable, looking at her self one last time in the mirror she was satisfied with her look so she pulled her sneakers on and rushed out of the house.At the training ground, the instructor walked in and saw Elena Morris already in her training kit and ready to go, he walked up to her, shock written boldly on his face as he said dragging out his words for emphasis.“Elena Morris, on time for training and in my life time, now
The name of the lady he was getting married to didn’t look familiar, a smirk appeared at corner of her mouth as she muttered.“so I was right, even Shirley was jilted, huh” she sighed and tossed her phone aside tired of seeing anything related to Ethan. she went into her sitting room where she switched on the Televison and watched a romcom movie till she fell asleep.The next day, Elena got up early to took her bath, after which she packed her hair into a bun, wore her clothes and dabbed a little powder on her face, her freckles a little visible as she didn’t use a concealer, looking at the final product of her work in the mirror she nodded and said to herself.“this is your chance to prove yourself at work and don’t forget, you have to find the people behind your father’s death, so the better you get the better your chances” she bend her head to one side making a funny face in the mirror then taking a deep breath she wore a determined expression, making up her mind to ignore romance,
“Elena Morris huh" the man sitting on the seat in the presidential office said, a slight smile across his face as he stared at the red head.Elena smacked her lip together, shaking her head she said.“Morning Mr” she paused hoping he would finish the sentence“Fred Carl, sit Elena” Fred said gesturing towards the chair in front of him, smilingElena sat down and said“thanks Mr Carl" “oh call me Fred, I think we’ve past the title stage when you stuck your tongue down my throat the other day" Fred said waving off the title of MrElena’s face turned red and her freckles became more visible, she had hope he wouldn’t bring that up again or perhaps a miracle will happen and he would forget everything from that night but judging by what he just said, it was still vividly imprinted in his heart, shaking her head she swore quietly“This is not how I pictured the interview to go"Fred who was studying her file which was on the table in front of him raised his head and asked“what’s that"“n
