A dream.

Tatiana had woken up to a headache, she found a glass of water with painkillers next to her.

"Was it you who took me home last night ?" Tatiana asked Patricia.

"Who else was with you last night while drinking, of course, it was me".

"I guess it was a dream " she muttered.

"What dream ?"

"Nothing "

Patrica laughed, Jack had told her not to tell Tatiana what had happened the previous night. "Come on tell me, did you have a dream about someone "

"Mmm, but it's all blurry I can't remember most of it," she said.

"That's the problem with dreams never clear " Patricia smirked.

"I guess talking about him last night led me to dream about him "

"I think so too, Patrica had been on her phone, she jumped up with a smile. "Finally the boss got involved " she yelled.

"In what ?"

"The rumours ... it seems the assistant manager was behind all of and she's been suspended "

"I guess that will end the rumours now," she said.

"Or start another, these people just never give up "

"After what has happened to this one, they won't dare open their mouths".

They laughed.

"Anyway how is your knee, you bruised it last night ?".

"It's okay, thanks for treating it," she said.

"Oh, I didn't do that " Patricia found herself saying.

"Huh, I thought you took me home last night ".

Patrica gulped, "Oh, yes I did, I was just distracted. "

Tatiana frowned but didn't prey on it.

....

"Won't this create another rumour ?" Eric asked.

"Uncle said he will make sure no one harms her again, so I don't think so

"Your uncle is pretty ruthless, firing her like that "

"I told him, Tatiana was the future daughter-in-law and he instantly promised to protect her " Jack smiled.

"Your family is just crazy about having a daughter-in-law ".

"They used not to bother but since I introduced her as my fiance, mom and Dad have been telling all our relatives. Am surprised they haven't stalked her yet " ..." Uncle was surprised to know she was working for him too ".

"Now almost your whole family know who she is, won't it affect her personal life," asked Eric.

"I want to talk to her but after last night I want to give her some space," he said.

"So you haven't talked to her since you got back ?".

"Mmm, I wanted to last night but she wasn't in her best mood ".

"Then go see her, she must not even remember seeing you last night cause she was drunk. If you want her to fall for you, you need to be there when she needs you. After being a target of such rumours she needs her fiance there " Eric smirked.

"I feel like she doesn't want me to talk to me ".

"That's the more reason for you to go see her and go to her workplace so that all those who harassed her finally shut up "

He drove to the company, walking up to his uncle's office.

"You here, welcome "

"Uncle, it been so long," he said.

They chatted until he finally asked about Tatiana.

"I handled the situation and made sure she won't be harmed again ".

"Thank you uncle, I came to pick her up so I hope it's okay if she leaves early," he said.

"Go ahead that's something you should not be asking " his uncle personally led him to her department.

Patrica and the others noticed their boss with a young handsome man, she instantly knew who he was and ran off to report to her friend.

Tatiana was making coffee when Patrica rushed in, "Bestie ..she shouted startling her friend.

"What? " Tatiana frowned at her now coffee-stained blouse.

"He here in the office ".

"Who, the boss ?" she grabbed some napkins to clean her blouse.

"Yes and his with Jack "

Tatiana paused, "You mean Jack, Jack ..the one I know ?"

"Yes and his holding flowers " she snickered.

Tatiana placed her cup down holding her friend, "Hurry up and go cover me, I need to leave now ".

"What ? are you crazy? He here for you and you want to hide "

"This is going to start another rumour, why did he come?" she cursed.
