Anita's head was cocked to the side and her eyes were narrowed into slits as different thoughts ran through her mind as she thought about what her elder sister had just called to inform her, "No. It can't possibly be what I'm thinking," Anita told herself with a shake of her head.
It definitely couldn't be what she was thinking. It shouldn't be. It could be anyone else but those two, Anita thought as she stood up from her seat and started pacing around her office.
The more she thought about it, the more something inside her, perhaps it was her intuition that told her that the CEO and the female I-Global employee her sister had talked about were none other than Tom and Lucy. But how was that possible? How could she have missed something like that? Was it possible that Tom was the CEO and she hadn't realized it this whole time? She tried to think back to every time she had met Tom and the CEO to see if there were any similarities in their character.
She clenched her fists when she remembered how the CEO had been mean to her for no particular reason the first time they met. She took off her pair of stiletto and threw them against the wall on one side of her office when she recalled how he was always taking Lucy's side in front of everyone.
The only female staff she knew who was close to the CEO was Lucy, and Lucy was also the youngest female staff who to the best of her knowledge had a company driver.
"Tom was the CEO this whole fucking time? Tom? Wait a minute, Tom Handy, Thomas Hank! Fuck! Anita, you dumb bitch!" Anita cursed out loud as her eyes flashed angrily and she overturned her table and threw down everything.
She felt like slapping herself and pulling her hair when she remembered how she had tried to hook them up, "Shit! Shit! How could I have been so stupid? I messed up!" Anita hissed bitterly and turned to the door when her secretary knocked.
"Are you okay, ma'am?"
"Get lost! And cancel all my damn appointments while at it," Anita snapped at her.
No way! There was no way she was letting those two get away with this! As far as she was concerned, she had met Tom first, and if he hadn't tricked her into believing that he was poor, she would have been engaged to him or even married him long before Lucy showed up in his life.
She couldn't believe that she had always assumed that Lucy was the least possible threat and had even thought they could become friends. Now that she knew for a fact that Lucy was set on snatching her man from right under her nose with her false naivety, she wasn't going to just sit back anymore.
This was no longer just a case of trying to make her mother and sisters proud! This had now become even more personal for her. She was going to first confirm that her suspicions were right, and once she was certain of it, she was going to find a way to get her man back from that snake! Anita decided with a determined look in her eyes as she walked over to the spot where her stiletto heels lay and picked them up. Once she had worn them, she picked up her car keys and handbag and walked out of the office.

Harry sat on his bed, going over some documents on his laptop which he wanted to send over to Tom. He glanced at the door when he heard Jade speaking with someone over the phone, and resisted the urge to eavesdrop on her conversation. It wasn't his business. If she decided to make decisions without informing first when he was here solely to help her, then there was nothing he could do about that.
He raised a brow when she knocked on his door a moment later, "Yeah?" He asked coolly without raising his head from his laptop.
"I'm coming in," Jade announced as she opened the door and walked into the bedroom before he could stop her, "Hm! I think it's the first time I'm entering your room. It looks more organized than mine," Jade observed as she looked around.
"Did you want something?" Harry asked, not bothering to look at her or respond to what she had just said since he knew his response wasn't going to be nice. And if he said something mean she was just going to get upset, and then they were going to get into an argument where he would have to apologize and he didn't want that.
"I guess you're busy?" Jade asked as she looked at him.
Harry looked up and noticed for the first time that she was holding two glasses of wine, "I didn't figure you for the type to ask obvious questions. Do you want something, Esquire?" Harry asked, and Jade flashed him a smile.
"You haven't called me that in a while," she said as she moved closer to the bed.
"You can sit on the couch," Harry said, not wanting her on his bed since he wasn't sure it was appropriate.
"Are you okay?" Jade asked as she passed him a glass of wine before going to sit on the lone couch in the room.
"Thanks," Harry said as he accepted the wine from her, "And yes, I am fine. What are we celebrating?" He asked, looking into the wine glass.
"Nothing. Just taking a break off work to unwind."
Harry narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously, "You're not the type to take a break off work unless you're forced to," he pointed out.
Jade gave him a sheepish smile and raised both hands in surrender, "Okay. Fine. You caught me."
"What do you want?" Harry asked, knowing without a doubt that she had done something he wasn't going to like.
"Well, Aurora... The spa lady called me and asked why you were yet to give her a call.. I didn't know what to say to her so I told her we are lodged here and invited her to have dinner with us," Jade said with an apologetic smile.
