The next morning, Ami drive out of the mansion sees Jim driving into the compound, she drives pass him, Kenley stands on the balcony watching, it will be fun to watch what the out come of Enest game will be, how do you think the game will end?.

Collins looks at her, he doesn’t reveal his plans to me, I just follow his orders.

You’ve been his assistance for years, he should learn to trust you.

Enest doesn’t trust anyone.

You are part of this family he shouldn’t be treating you like a mere employee.

Emily whispers to Max, he stood up and left the class with her.

What are those two up to?, Josephena says.

If you desperately want to know what they are cooking, follow them, James responds.

Am just saying that when those two get together something bad happens.

Whatever they do am sure it won’t affect you, you have nothing to lose, James says, pack his books and run out of the class.

Kate and Ami laughs.

Max and Emily stands at the back of the school building, what do you want?.

I want you to get me the properties document from Ami’s possession, I will pay you whatever you want.

Max smiles, why will I get you that, you do it yourself, you are sisters.

Don’t call that freak my sister and if I can get it myself I wouldn’t have come to you, you live in the same house and you are capable of getting anything you want, it an easy task for you.

How did you know I live in the same house with her?.
