Her face was full of determination.Her heart was filled with pain and fueled by vengeance.

When she got to the company the place looked nice.The tiles,the decent environment,The cool air conditioners and the elevators all made her to feel she was coming to a better place.

She was directed to brendan's office.She walked majestically to the door and knocked.

Brendan said "come in"

Brendan's sweet smile softened her heart.It made her bold and hopeful.She felt a deep relief from her pains.

"Good morning sir"Stephanie greeted.

"No, don't call me sir,call me Brendan or sweetheart".

"I will, please can I sit"

"Why are you looking sad,tell me what happened"

"M..my company that my late father gave to me have been stolen by my boyfriend and Melinda"Little tears welled her eyes as she tried to stop them.
