Lucy turned around in her flexible chair as she spoke to Natalia. ''That's good. I was so worried.

''Alice told me you helped a lot. I'm sorry I inconvenienced you'' Natalie said on the other side of the phone and Lucy shook her head.

''Inconvenienced my foot. You're my friend and if I couldn't do that much then, what kind of friend would I be? But, you have a lot to tell me, right? Like how….'' Lucy lowered her voice as she spoke, ''Alice is actually your sister?''

''I know, right? I have a lot to tell you. Xia will pick you up and bring you to the house after work''

''I can't today. I have a date with Matt, remember?'' Lucy blushed as she mentioned his name. she had earlier on sent a voice message to Natalie telling her about her date with Matt.

''Right, you agreed to go on a date with him because of me''

''Is all good. With him as a date, I can get off my parents' back for a while by faking it''

''Do your parents still bother you with the marriage thing?''

''Don't even get my started. That's what I get for having two mothers and one father. I told you, right? My father married two women and they are not your ordinary women? They have good telepathy with each other.

''I should meet them. I'm surprised that they are so good to each other and not being jealous of each other''

''That's my family for you. I have to go. The company is all gloomy, I'm guessing it has to do with what happened. Let's talk later. I still have a lot of work to do''

''Okay. Lucy, if anyone ask of me, tell them you didn't hear from me''

''Okay. Bye'' Lucy hung up and saw Jason walking out of the elevator towards her and she quickly stood up.

Jason walked to her, ''Lucy''

''Yes, Jason?''

''Have you heard from Natalia?

''No, her line is not going through. But, a letter came through to me this morning. I was going to send it to your office''

''Where is it''

''Here'' Lucy picked the letter from her table and handed it to Jason.

''Okay, thanks''

''Welcome''

''Let me know if you get through to her''

''Okay''. Lucy sat back after Jason left. Her phone buzzed and she frowned as she looked at the caller ID. Deciding not to answer, she placed the phone on the table and continued with her work but a while later, the phone buzzed again.

''What do you want, Lex?'' Lucy asked after answering the call.

''Lucy, can we meet?''

''No, can do'' Lucy hung up and put the phone away.

...

William tried Natalia's number for the 9th time and it went to voicemail.

''Do you think she might resign?'' Amy who was standing in front of him asked.

''I hope she is alright. she didn't come to work today''

''Should I go and visit her?''

''No, I will keep trying''

....

Empire Entertainment.

Waiting Room.

Alice looked at her watch and walked to the secretary who was busy filing her nails and asked, ''Ana, when exactly is Luis going to be ready? I've being here for almost three hours now'' Alice felt like strangling the secretary who acted so arrogant towards her because of her connection to the CEO.

Ana looked at Alice smugly, 'I am not in the CEO's office. How am I supposed to know? Didn't I tell you he is with sister Lin Yan?'' she had received strict orders not to allow Alice into the office and she was going to do that. She had always hated Alice and thought of her as a greedy person because unlike the other artistes who always gave her gifts because they wanted to get into the good books of the CEO, Alice never did such a thing.

'Ana, why are you talking like this to me? Did I offend you in anyway?''

Ana put her filer on the table angrily and stood up to speak, ''Alice, stop acting so arrogantly. Don't you really know the reason why you're called here?''

''That is no way to talk to Alice. Ana, she just asked you a simple question, did you have to be so arrogant?'' Niania stood up immediately and refuted Ana.

Ana looked at Niania and laughed. ''Look who is talking? The little assistant''

''Ana, call Luis and tell him I am here or I will go inside myself''

''I'm sorry, but I can't do that''

The door to the office opened just then. Luis and Lin Yan walked out with their hands intertwined together. He pretended not to have seen Alice and asked the secretary.

''What is the chaos for?''

Alice turned and saw him. she looked at Lin Yan who was adjusting her dress and felt disgusted. It was clear the two were doing something inside the office. Alice felt totally gross.

Lin Yan smirked, knowing Alice had gotten the picture clear. She stepped forward and asked smugly, ''who decided to grace us with her presence?''

''Luis, I've being here for almost three hours and Ana said you were busy. Why did you call me here if you were so busy?'' Alice completely ignored Lin Yan.

''Hey, is that how you talk to your boss? Where are your manners?'' Luis shouted at Alice.

''He was busy with me. Do you have a problem with that?'' Lin Yan asked.

''No way. I have no problem with him being busy with you or anyone else. My problem is the fact that I was here for three hours and he didn't attend to me'' Alice said to Lin Yan before replying Luis, ''you asked about my manners? Don't I deserve an answer to that from you instead? Where are your manners as the boss of the agency?''

''Alice, what right do you have to tell me what to do? Come into my office'' Luis winked at Lin Yan and went back to the office.

Lin Yan snickered when Alice was about to go into the office. ''You insulted Eunice Gardener? Are you tired of your place in the industry or do you still harbour illusions that Thomas is still alive?''

''Don't you dare mention the name of Thomas from that filthy mouth of yours'' Alice warned, stepping closer to her.

''Why? Do you feel guilty about something? I knew everything that was happening. Did you think no one would find out that you were a mistress who kept?''

Alice suddenly laughed making Lin Yan confused before she said to her. ''Just because you're a mistress doesn't mean everyone else is. I don't care what people like you think about my relationship with Thomas was. You know why? Because, not everyone is like you''

Alice opened the door and closed it after going in leaving a fuming Lin Yan in the waiting room with Niania and Ana.

Alice sat up straight in her chair and asked, ''what? What do you mean by you have given two of my contracts to Lin Yan?'' Alice looked at him and chuckled. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had worked hard for those two endorsement. She had gone for auditions just to snack those endorsements but now he was going to give them to someone like Lin Yan simply because she was now his mistress.

''You heard me, Alice. You have gotten yourself into too many troubles lately that is making a lot of people anxious. First you played a prank on Mimi on set, then, the airport incident and just yesterday you insulted Eunice Gardener. Did you think you would get away from that easily? Thomas is not around to clean after your mess''

''Why do I find all these excuses ridiculous? Luis, tell me the truth. Did the company request for a new model or you stole my contracts just to give it to Lin Yan?'' Alice asked.

''Hey? What kind of questions are those?''

''I know you don't like me but this is too much. I won't accept it''

''Who are you not to accept it. this is the company's decision. To let Lin Yan, handle all your endorsement for now. You offended a key person in the industry and that is the consequences of that''

''So, you mean to say the agency's decision to give my work to Lin Yan was influenced by my encounter with Eunice Gardener? Do you even know what actually happened there? That woman bullied me to the point that I almost cried and she is saying I insulted her?''

''Your contracts have already being transferred to Lin Yan. If you want to stay in this industry you should know who to offend and who not to. Go and apologise to Eunice Gardener'' Luis was doing it to safe his company. He was receiving a lot of pressure from the Song family and Eunice Gardener. These people were prominent people and he didn't want to mess with them. As for Alice, her backer was already dead and he had heard she was having a bad relationship with Mikael Sun, which meant that she was now alone and had no one to fight for her.
