"Get the hell out of my office! You wench!!!" Harold yelled, chasing the shocked Carrle out of his office.

He wondered who allowed her in.

If it was at his paper company, he's so sure Thelma wouldn't have allowed her in .

But here,they still regarded her as his wife!

"Harold! You're sending me out of your office,after everything we've shared" Carrle's voice trembled.

She still can't believe Harold rejected her after all her efforts..

He hadn't even spared her much glance, her breasts which he had always loved looked worthless to him now.

"I can't believe you to be this cheap! You've actually gotten worst carrle. That guy is doing you no good! " Harold said beating his fingers on his glass table.

"How dare you say I'm cheap!" Carrle said.

"Because you are, it's so obvious that you came here to seduce me. Who the hell seduces the man she divorced" Harold said flatly.

"I..i wasn't in my right senses then" Carrle said, looking down at her feet in fake remorse.

"Well, thank God you gat your senses back, will you kindly leave now or i involve the securities" Harold said.

"Harold I'm sorry" Carrle said, trying desperately for tears to flow.

Harold always fall for her tears. Then, she'd use her tears to get things from him .

"Mrs Weston" Harold mocked and carrle swore under her breath.

She truly regretted her actions.

"Don't try to fake your tears cause i will never fall for it 'again' " Harold said.

Carrle sniffed and pretended to search her purse for an handkerchief, she deliberately made her car key fall and then bent to pick it slowly with all the seductive move she can ever think of.

Harold laughed and punched some numbers in his intercom.

He placed the receiver on his ear.

📞Hey you! I gat an unwanted person in my office,come lead her out please" He said into the phone and Carrle quickly straightened up from her seductive post.

📞Okay sir.

Harold dropped the receiver and glanced at Carrle.

"What a waste, you should have tried all these seductive moves when i haven't gotten over you" Harold said, pressing his lips together.

"I wasn't trying to seduce you! " Carrle snapped. "My car key fell down"

"Well... only a fool would believe that" Harold said.

The door opened and three securities walked in.

"Are you seriously gonna allow them lead me out?" Carrle asked, embarrassed.

She had completely made a fool of herself.

Now the little pride she had was gone.

She shouldn't have suggested this in the first place but she hadn't known Harold would be able to resist her.

"You better leave gently with them, they have no mercy at all, they'll push you out if you last one more minute" Harold said, settling back on his chair.

Carrle walked out with the securities and the door was shut.

Harold sighed and stared at the files in front of him.

What if she had tried this when he hadn't gotten over her,then he would have fell for it and of course accept her back.

Thank goodness that's in the past now.

He doesn't even want anything to do with her again.

He had planned to make the court completely deny her access to her daughter but that'll be unfair.

No matter how bad she is,she still deserves to see her ivory once in a while.

"But did he seriously resist those breasts?" He thought and laughed.

Those breasts that always made him crazy then.

Well ... He should call Tom and ask how the morning went.

He really hoped nothing unusual happened again.

The FBI agents promised to get back to him tomorrow.

He suddenly smiled, thinking of Irene.

He doubt if he has ever seen a lady as decent and responsible as she is.

Even the night they spent together,she hadn't dressed like a whore .

She had worn a red vest and black shorts and her hair was simply packed in a ponytail with tendrils framing her face.

"Is she the one?" He had confirmed from Madam Persephone and the woman had nodded, grinning.

Her body hadn't enticed him, her beauty had and her innocent face had.

"Looks like the CEO is deep in thought" Lucy, his secretary at Marshall cosmetics interrupted his thoughts.

"Ohh... Lucy" Harold sat upright.

"Is anything wrong?" She asked.

"Definitely nothing. I'm fine"

"You didn't even stirred when i walked in and you were so busy staring into space" Lucy said.

"Well... yeah, i was thinking about something" Harold finally admitted.

"Ohh" Lucy smiled.

Unlike Thelma, Lucy was unmarried. Engaged though and her fiance do come pick her from work everyday.

Lucy's a beautiful young lady, smart and good at what she does.

He's always so lucky about his employees, they're all so good in their respective fields.

"So, do you need anything?" Harold said.

"Well...you got some letters" Lucy handed three envelopes to him.

"Why didn't you check it out for me?" Harold asked.

"I would have done so but It's highly confidential" Lucy said.

"Ohh" Harold said taking the envelopes from her.

"Thanks" He dropped them on his table.

"You need coffee?" Lucy asked as she walked to the door.

"Uhm...no, thanks" Harold said.

"Alright Mr Harold" she said and finally walked out of the door.

Ohh..yes!

He have to call Tom.

Irene yawned as she woke up from her nap.

She laid on her bed and stared at the reflection of the sun on her wall.

"It's a bright afternoon" She murmured feeling too lazy to get on her feet.

She know she should go help Nola in the kitchen but she's kinda feeling tired and maybe weak.

She laid still and tried getting more sleep but it wasn't coming.

She stared at the ceiling and started imagining how she wants her future to be, she saw Daire fashions being set up again,she saw everyone happy and fulfilled but then it's just imagination.

Even if she knows the kind of future she wishes for is not possible, she can at least enjoy the imagination.

She smiled as her imaginations went on and on.

"Fairy fairy grant my wish" She sang and laughed.

She remembered she do sing that when she was still a child.

"Enough of the imaginations Irene" She chided herself and then sat up.

Her feet searched for her slippers and she wore it before finally rising to her feet.

She walked into the bathroom and made for the sink.

She turned on the faucet and splashed some water on her face.

She grabbed a clean towel and wiped her face with it before walking back to her room .

She stood in front of the mirror and made her ponytail more tight.

"So sorry i arrived late, chef Nola" Irene joked as she entered the kitchen and met Nola making lunch already.

"It's fine apprentice Irene, i knew you were so enjoying that nap" Nola said and they both chuckled.

"Yeah, i enjoyed it. " Irene said while she washed her hands.

"Thank God you're here, I'm feeling pressed. Please continue with the cooking" Nola said.

"Okay" Irene said grabbing a clean apron.

She wore it over her blue satiny gown while Nola walked out of the kitchen.

Irene took over gladly.

___🍂

Ivory grinned as Irene helped her dress up.

She's back from school and Irene selected her wears for her.

It's a floral jumpsuit which suited ivory's caramel skin.

Irene made her wear pink footwear and then tried comb her hair but then she remembered she's not allowed to.

She gently dropped the comb.

"I don't need to comb my hair, my ponytail is still in place" ivory said.

"Ohh.. yeah" Irene nodded.

"You've been grinning since you arrived from school" Irene noted.

"Yeah, I'll clock nine next month" Ivory said happily.

"Ohh, happy birthday in advance sweetheart" Irene smiled.

"Thank you" Ivory said.

"My younger brother also get excited a month to his birth month" Irene said.

"You have a younger brother?" Ivory asked in surprise.

"Of course" Irene smiled.

"Is he my age mate? Will you bring him over to play with me?" Ivory asked excitedly and Irene laughed.

"No! He's seventeen" Irene said.

"Ohh" Ivory said disappointedly.

"Sorry" Irene smiled.

"How come you never talked about him" Ivory pouted.

"You never asked" Irene said.

"Now I'm asking" Ivory said.

"His name is Damien Noris and he's in high school" Irene said.

"When are you bringing him over?" Ivory asked.

"I'm not bringing him over" Irene said.

"Why not?" Ivory asked.

"This is my workplace Ivory, not some playground" Irene said calmly.

"If you're worried about Dad, I'm sure he won't be against it" Ivory said.

"No, Damien can't come here Ivory, i can't take advantage of the fact that you guys are nice to me and then start inviting every member of my family over" Irene said.

"You don't have to invite your parents" Ivory said and Irene felt a stinging pain in her heart.

She didn't know they were dead or she wouldn't have mentioned them.

"Just your brother" Ivory said and Irene sighed.

"You want to meet him that badly?" Irene asked.

"Yes" Ivory said.

"You will, one day" Irene said.

"By fate" She added inwardly.

"Let's go have lunch" She said taking ivory's tiny hand in hers.

___🍂

Irene packed the leftover fruits on Ivory's bedside stool .

She had had the fruits before taking her nap.

She covered ivory properly before taking the leftover fruits to the kitchen.

They had lunch minutes ago and ivory and Nola were nor taking their nap.

One can see she's bored as she walked out of the kitchen.

She tried to watch the quiz show that was being displayed on the TV but she had no interest.

She stood up from the couch,she doesn't feel like reading too.

Should she go chat with Tom and Eric?

No.

She should go check out the building again then and probably stop by the pool.

__🍂

"Wow!" Irene grinned on sighting the pool.

This isn't the first time she'll be seeing it but it keeps appearing more and more beautiful.

The reflection of the sun even made the water sparkle brightly.

Irene smiled walking towards it.

She passed the late Helena's room without even noticing, all her mind was on the pool.

She finally stood in front of the water and she was about bending to scoop the water in her palm when she heard a startling sound.

She paused but thought it could be one of the workers, not until she saw a shadow in the water.

Someone was behind her and whomever that was, she could tell it was a woman.

She was about turning to find out who it is when the person grabbed her neck with cold fingers.

Irene screamed but the unknown woman didn't make her scream for long before pushing her into the water.
