While I was fussing over the assassination plan and connecting dots between P A Wang and my ex superior Anita, I totally forgot to submit the finance report and the company's overall check up.
I mentally facepalm as I stumble over an excuse to give. This might have been a perfect time to tell him about the plans made by P A Wang but I don't, what if he's the overall planner.
It's not the first time a son has planned his family's assassination just to inherit the entire property. Reason I would never strive to marry a wealthy billionaire, too much drama for my little heart and mind.
"I'm still waiting for your explanation missy" He says jolting me back to reality well the only thing I can do is apologize without explaining anything.
"I'm so sorry sir, I can assure you it won't happen again" I say with my head bowed down.
"It better not, because the next time would cost you your job" he says and dismisses me from his office.
Why can't our conversations be like the secretaries in movies, so familiar with each other, I feel like I'm on pins and needles whenever I'm around him.
I huff back to my cubicle to continue my work.
oh shoot, I forgot to tell him about the assassination plan, I quickly run to his office only to hear hushed whispers of my Demon boss and PA Wang, wait a minute, does that mean that my boss, Jason Black is in an attempt to kill his father??.
I shouldn't be surprised because I've read lots of books and watched lots of movies about a son planning to kill his father for the inheritance but I didn't think he would be part of that. 'Kimberly Stone, why are you so involved in this?' I ask myself with a facepalm, just as I was thinking of an excuse to tell myself the door creaks open and my boss and his assistant walk out looking a bit surprised to see be but it was in a split second and they were back to their poker face.
I've always wondered how the pokerface works because my expressions are literally over the place.
"What brings you to my office miss Kimberley?"
Jason asks me with his cold stone face
"Uhmm.....I...hmmm" I stumbled over my words at first, "I wanted to remind you of the meeting you have with the president of Coldstone publishing in Australia" I blurt out, mentally facepalming because I just told him about that few hours ago
"I can vividly remember you saying this to me few hours ago Miss Kimberly" my boss tells me with a raised brow and with my side view, I catch a glimpse of PA Wang, his back faced towards us, texting someone on his phone.
"Ohh......sorry sir, it must have skipped my mind, I just wanted to make sure I tell you about it" I say and bow my head in an apology, he dismisses me with a wave of his hand.
After work my mind couldn't stop racing, I ask myself continuously why I'm even invested in the matter, it's not like I'm a goody two shoes to help everyone I see but this is murder we're talking about, I'm pretty sure my conscience won't let me rest knowing that I could have helped the death from happening.
Right now my brain feels like it's being fried with all the thought running through my head.
"Dear mum, give me strength wherever you are, advice me because I don't know what to do" I mumble under my breath as I walk towards my bedroom
"Yo Kim, you look glum, what's up" Tasha asks me immediately she sees the expression on my face. She knows me really well and I don't think I can lie my way out of this.
"Well, I'm writing a book, the female lead saw a conspiration in attempt to murder someone and now she doesn't know what to do, to report or keep it to herself and act like she never saw anything which would definitely affect her" I say
"Ok, so this conspiracy is it vitally connected to her?" She asks with a raised brow and I shake my head
"It's not exactly connected to her, but one way or the other, it does affect her" I say with a downcast expression
"If it's going to hunt her forever, she should definitely speak up, free her mind and if it doesn't help atleast she tried to help" she says with a shrug
"Also I know there's no book anything, the last book you started is somewhere lying in the shelf collecting dust, but I won't ask you about the whole 'conspiration' thing, just know that I'm always here when you need me" she says rubbing my back as she stands to leave
"Tee" I call out as I hug her from behind "Thank you so much and I love you" I say with tears in my eyes
"You're welcome, now shoo you're making me all mushy and I've got to prepare for a shoot, I'll catch you later princess" she says and I smile and let her go, she always gives me more reason to hold unto and love her more.
And I'm guessing she has an idea about what I'm talking about, although not exactly.
That doesn't change the fact that I'm still stumped on what decision to make, and each moment I waste is one step closer to the death of someone.
Right now I do wish I could go back in time and not open that flash drive, infact pretend that it has nothing to do with me, for the sake of my sanity at the very least. But now I have no choice.
I think I'll just sleep on it and then tomorrow I'd find out whether I'll tell Jason or I'd go to Mr. Aaron Black directly.
The fact all these could affect and hurt my future is infuriating. And if it so turns out that my boss is the one in charge of the conspiracy, I would be seen as an accomplice and would go to jail.
That absolutely cannot happen to me right?.
Ok ok, I need to calm down and sleep, I'll sort my next step.
