Hales Enterprise.

After a while, Laura walked into her office with the most composed face she could ever pull and ignore everyone’s curious looks. She took her seat and frantically pulling out the computer records and start inputting data.

Half an hour, when she sees that she was barely on the seventh page, she left out a heavy sigh when she discovered some documents were missing! Just then, Her phone rang .

“Yes?” Laura answered.

“Ma'am, Daniel is at your office door!”  she reported.

“Lets him in..” She then end the line. Just then, Daniel came in and stood in front of Laura’s table.

“You wanted to see me, ma’am!” Daniel walk in and find Laura looking at some papers. She glance up and pierces Daniel with her eyes.

“Good day, Daniel! I would like to point out that some important documents on the companies fortune has been stolen. Someone’s has taken hold of them. And don’t dare lie to me” She leans back on her chair and crosses her arm. Her lips are a thin straight line, and his eyes narrowed on the documents she has will her.

“I know, ma’am. And I want to point out, that I have worked here diligently and that I am aware of the impact of the evidence I have gathered!” He said.

“Have a seat, Daniel” With a shaky legs, he took a seat in front of her. “What evidence?” she asked.

“I know how those documents are important to our company, and I was very conscious not to loose them. So I activated the CCTV camera on the office, connecting it to my mobile phone. And that was how manage to know about the loose files and to get the evidence as well as the footage!” he explained.

“So, who stole them?” Laura asked.

“The documents we’re not stolen ma’am, they were taken. It’s  Crystal clear, that your sister took hold of those files. The CCTV camera and the pictures I took, they give enough evidence…” Daniel said.

“But why, are you sure of this? Can I have a look?” Laura asked.

“Sure, ma’am” Daniel reply giving her his tablet.

With the evidence, it was true that Meredith has the files. Laura has worked for those documents for so long which is why the company is at it’s top.

There’s no doubt that Laura was brilliant. However, it was her business sense, not her talent as an investor, that clearly show her intelligence. Laura took innovation and made different clients in many different companies, which made the Hales enterprises.

“Daniel, what’s this about?” she asked.

“I heard a rumor that miss Meredith is going to be the next CEO of the Hale’s enterprise and the president is aware and has already approved of it!” Daniel explain.

“Stop talking..” Laura said and there was a brief silence before she continues. “I can’t seems to understand all that’s going on. I need to find out from the president and the board of directors!” Laura said.

“There’s no need ma’am,  The board meeting has already been held and the matter has been discussed already. I really don’t know why Mr. Hale keep this from you ma’am, all I know is that you’re the best CEO I’ve ever seen in my entire life…” Daniel encourage.

“You mean there was already a board meeting held? Then why am I clueless about this?” she asked curiously.

“Sorry ma’am, it was per the president’s order!” Daniel reply.

“Ok, you may leave..” Laura took sometime to calm down her rapid heart and breath properly. She closed her eyes and release the breath she never know she was  holding till now.

She will definitely visit grandpa Hale to talked about this misunderstanding later but right now, she wanted to visit her fiancé Jackson, she planned a surprise for him.

Jackson’s apartment.

Walking elegantly to Jackson’s apartment, Laura called out for the love big her life. “Hay honey, I’m here!” Laura called out but some minutes pass she still not heard any response which seems weird.

“Jackson honey, are you in here?” she call again. She then walk up to the bedroom door and heard a weird noises coming from the room. She opened the door and became stupefied.

“Laura?!” Jackson called out.

“Meredith?!” Laura was shocked beyond measure. Jackson bed was occupied by him and another woman!, Meredith, her own sister. Their clothes were scattered around the room in terrible disarray. “What the hell is going on here?! She asked.

“Why should I explained myself to you, you A-grade whore?” Meredith said out loud.

“Me, a whore?”  Laura asked

“Hey!” Jackson stopped them.

“I have love and trusted you both! I worked hard for us Meredith! And here you are…” Laura could not believe her eyes for the biggest betrayal in her life.
