The ladies went shopping happily without realizing that none of their actions were missed by their men.Dana wanted to see how Ruth was going so she decided to stop by her shop. However, she changed her mind when she got to Ruth’s shop and pulled the others and ran. Granger was at the store pestering Ruth. It was most certainly a crime to stop someone’s fortune and she didn’t want her husband to have another enemy…..hehe…hehe… she was quite clever!“What are you laughing like a fool for?” Lara asked looking at Dana’s silly smile.Dana shrugged keeping her silly smile but didn’t enlighten the two.“Sister-in-law...” A sweet sound called from behind as the ladies were immersed in their world of freedom.The three turned in unison but Dana’s face darkened as she saw Lizzie walking towards her smiling like a flower. She had almost forgotten her promise to Bertie.“When did I become your sister-in-law?” Dana folded her hands looking arrogantly at Lizzie.“Soon… soon we will be family.” Lizz
Shadow had been getting along fabulously with Ruth and decided that he wanted to get married watching Ben’s bliss. He had decided on Ruth, then what was the point in delaying… but the problem was he had no idea how to…. he was also worried if Ruth didn’t have the same intention… then wouldn’t he be making a fool of himself?Shadow walked around with a constipated expression. He would have asked Dana’s help if his boss wasn’t so petty…. But what could he do… his boss was!“What’s wrong?” Dana finally asked as she couldn’t bear to watch his miserable face.“I …” Shadow suddenly felt tongue tied. He was waiting for Dana to ask…. But when she did, he didn’t know how to vocalize his problem. He lowered his head with a frown on his lips.“He wants to propose to Ruth but doesn’t know how to.” Ben didn’t give Shadow any face when he mercilessly pierced through his wall.“Oh….” Dana nodded perceptively “You are worried that she doesn’t have that intention and she will reject?”Shadow nodded alt
Ben was on edge now that Dana was full term. He kept following her nervously like a shadow. One evening just as they finished dinner and were heading upstairs to retire, Dana stood still on the stairs and called weakly “Ben….”“What is it?” Ben looked affectionately at his wife who had stopped walking and became stiff.“I…. my …. I think my water broke.” Dana barely managed to mumble as she held on tightly to Ben.“You…. you….” Ben froze.Alexa was the first to react. She ran downstairs to alert Shadow and Mrs Bentley before running back upstairs to get the baby bag that Dana had prepared beforehand.“CEO” Alexa called out helplessly as she saw a frozen Ben.“Huh?” Ben looked at the panic-stricken Dana and came to his senses. He carried her and ran downstairs carefully. Alexa informed him that Shadow was waiting downstairs with the car. Shadow had informed Steve as soon as Alexa came running downstairs. Everything at the hospital would be set by Steve.Shadow sped towards the hospital;
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
