To her dismay it was no one other than Ezekiel the house butler. He came to replace the freshly bloomed flowers in the vase with new ones in her room because the old ones had died. So she stood up and sat down on the chair of her vanity table, then she looked into the mirror while staring at her own reflection and decided she's had enough of this has to know why her husband is behaving this way, the last time she went to his office his secretary didn't allow her to pass and because she was an employee there too at her husband's company she can't break the company's law by forcefully entering his office but this time she won't turn back, she will enter to demand for an answer She stood up and took her bag and left the room she went downstairs and told Ezekiel to prepare the car she's going to see her husband at his office, Ezekiel surprised at her request thinking she would have given up after trying several times He asked her if she was sure She responded to him confidently “Yes, get the car ready I'm going him since he won't come to me” Then the car was prepared and it drove off, on its way to the Dawson's lots company. When she finally got there, She was about to board the elevator when she suddenly met one of her co-worker Claire, from the management team. “Oh my gosh! Amelia! What are you doing here today??” “Isn't today your anniversary and your day off! Shouldn't you be at home resting with your husband” “You know like having those romantic times with him” “What are you doing here?” Claire asked with her tone excited with a hint of surprise of seeing Amelia there that day “Well I-” Amelia kept thinking of excuses she could give Claire because no one at the company knows she is married to Nathaniel the CEO of the company “ Well I forgot something at the office on my desk, and also the chief director asked to see me” she finally said with her voice sounding all nervous “He asked to see you? Why?” Claire asked again with a confused look Amelia quickly pressed the button of the elevator repeatedly and quickly said “I don't know probably something important. See you later at work” Claire was still confused but she walked away. Amelia released a sigh of relief of how close that was She was almost discovered by someone from her department and that person had to be Claire! Everybody knows how loose her mouth can be If Claire finds out about who Amelia truly is The whole company would find out before the next day. Finally Amelia got the the floor where her husband's office was, At the lobby she was greeted by his secretary Damien who told her she couldn't enter Nathaniel’s office unless she was summoned or asked to by Nathaniel, currently Nathaniel is busy with a guest and it would be advisable if she went back home and waited for him there But Amelia didn't back off easily “I want to see Nathaniel right now! And I won't leave or take No for an answer without seeing him” she told him with a stern expression with her hands folded together “I'm sorry Mrs. Dawson but your husband is currently busy and he wouldn't be able to appease your audience right now, the only thing that can be done is if you go back home and wait for him” Damien replied with his expression as firm, cold and unwavering as Ezekiel is, the only difference is Damien wears glasses, he is much taller and his voice is as deep as the mariana trench of the sea She can see why Nathaniel chose him to be his personal secretary. But she isn't taking no for answer, she is going to look for a way to enter his office so she needs to find a way to stay here first so she told Damien she would wait for nate in the lobby instead Knowing well how stubborn Amelia could be He accepted. While waiting she pretended to read a magazine and kept thinking of what to do and waiting for a moment or an opportunity to enter Nate's office And to her favor Damien received a call, he looked at her first Knowing he would only take a few minutes he left the lobby to receive it And finally it was Amelia’s chance to enter She felt a quiet triumph as she was about to enter, And when she finally did enter his office the next scene She saw a silhouette of another woman wearing a red designer jacket and a dior bag on his office table all over her husband and it looked like they were Kissing?!!. In shock she ran out of the office and slammed the door and ran out. She ran past Damien and went back down the elevator into the women's restroom she clutched unto her chest shock in her eyes, tears about to roll down, her heart racing like it had been betrayed by its own hope, her breath breaking like as if every inhale scraped against the pieces of shattered heart It felt like she was standing at the edge of a dark pit with no rope to climb out Where everything went silent that she could only hear her breathe and her heart pounding fast, it felt heavy and every thought circled back to the same hopeless end “No, No, No that can't- be him” “right?” “There must be some understanding” “perhaps i saw it all wrong-” “Nathaniel wouldn't do this to me” “he wouldn't BETRAY- me this way” she finally broke down to tears in denial while stuttering out these words. That red jacket she saw she recognized it but she couldn't remember who owned it but she was sure it was someone she knew. While crying she heard someone coming in so she slipped into one of the restrooms toilet and hid there Then she heard a familiar voice,she opened its door a bit to look out then she saw the same jacket The person was adjusting her make up when she saw the person's face through the mirror It immediately rang in her head It's her very own Sister “Lydia?!!”
