CHAPTER 22

Andy drove Esther to her home. Mr Divan was in his study room when they entered. They tip toed to her room in silence. "Lay down! I am going home"Andy said. "Can't you spend a night? I don't want to be alone"Esther suggested, Andy saw that the lady really meant it, so she hang her arm bag in the closet. "So I didn't see Dad downstairs"Esther said. "He might be sleeping or studying"Andy said, She sat down and Esther lay her head on Andy's shoulder. "Poor You Andy, how are you doing with Derrick?"Esther asked. "what matters right now is you, stop involving others"Andy said. "I am such a terrible best friend, I literally forgot to look life on your side"Esther said. "Look at you! how can you help me when you are being attached here?"Andy smiled. "It really was him, I saw his move and his figure,. I know him with every breath of me"Esther said, Andy knew that the topic was changed already. "few days ago, I heard his voice on the phone"Esther said, Andy widened her eyes and looked at her. "Esther you didn't tell me about this"She said. "Ooh I am sorry, that night we spent talking, right in the middle of the night, I got a call and I picked it, I heard his voice, he kept saying "Hello Hello" he kept asking who am I"Esther said. "I know him, Andy you believe me!? I can't forget his voice, his scent"Esther said, she was so sad at that moment. "Esther, are you burning?"Andy asked holding on her forehead to check. Esther knew that Andy thought she's stressed or something. "ahhhaaa!!! forget it!"Esther narrowed her eyes as she lay down on the bed. later that evening, they slept.

"My sweet little darling"Mr Divan's voice was heard as the two girl rush to wake up. they covered themselves. "Dad, why are you in lady's room? right in the morning?" Esther shouted. "Damn it! what do you have to hide? and if you would have come to see me, should I have to bother coming?"Mr Divan said. "Dad"Esther jumped out of bed and hugged her father so tight. "my Baby is having a hard time"Mr Divan said. "don't worry Dad, I am your daughter after all"Esther said. the hug stopped. "So you guys get ready and come downstairs. we need to go to the company"Mr Divan said as he move out of the room.

"We?? to the company?"Andy wondered.

The two ladies had to use less than half an hour to get ready as they come down to have breakfast with Mr Divan.

Breakfast was so silence and it was broken by Mr Divan. "I need you to help me communicate with the Investors I am meeting today"He explained. "We?"The two girls asked at the same time. "Yes, I have two important investors coming today and they are quite familiar with these movie things, It will be easy to talk with you girls"Mr Divan said. "But Dad...."Esther seemed sad that she wasn't going to be a help to her Dad's business, Mr Divan quickly understood what was going on here. "Baby, I understand, you can come with us but I will have to work with Andreas"Mr Divan said. Esther forced a smile but this has been her number one worst effect of the incidence. "Okay Dad, Andy, you need to make this happen"Esther said. Andy smiled but she was a little nervous.

At the company:

Andreas joined Mr Divan in the meeting room, Esther remained in Mr Divan's office.

After a while of wondering throughout the whole room, Esther was a little bored and there were no more things to see. that very instant, Someone stepped inside without a knock, it was Mr Mike Collins.

"Romeo"Esther smiled at him. "I have been looking for my Juliette and I suspect she's having a hard time here alone, so I decided to disturb her peace."Mike explained. "target shot, I am literally bored here"Esther smiled. " does that mean, I am welcome here?"Mike smiled and Esther smiled back, nodding her head. " I sure would love your company"Esther said.

the two talked for a few minutes, Mike excused for the last time behavior. "I couldn't know how to react"He said. "hearing that your best friend has killed someone was too hard for me to accept, I am sorry"He said. "It's okay, everyone can never believe it"Esther said. "I knew from the beginning that Luc would cause a problem,I still can't believe you choose him"He said. "it's not about Luc, something else might have created a misunderstand."Esther smiled. "If only you could allow me to protect you"Mike said in a very low voice that Esther barely heard him, but concentrating, she got his point. "What?"She asked turning to face him and Mike was already staring at her face, Esther opened her mouth to speak but quickly closed it again, there was nothing to talk about anyway. a long moment of silence grew between them and suddenly in that very moment of starring at each other, the door was held open and a perfect guy in his grey suit stepped in and break the silence with the door, Esther turned and saw him, "Derrick Sir, what are you doing here?"Esther said. Derrick came approaching them, "I met Andy downstairs and she told me that you are here, I came to find you"Derrick said. "I haven't seen you since the incidence, how have you been?"Derrick asked, Mike doesn't seem to know Derrick, he stood there frozen, only watching them. "Thank God you are here"Esther said as she run directly in Derrick's arms and hugged him, Derrick crossed his arms across her waist. "I Know, it must have been hard for you"Derrick said. "By the way, why are you here?"Esther asked.

The door held open in the conference room and an old man stepped in with a tall, elegacy lady, around them were two more people and you could tell, they were like assistants. Andy Widened her eyes "Wendy!?"She exclaimed

"Welcome Mr Noble"Mr Divan said, the old man gave a warm smile, "I will introduce again, I am Noble Hilton and this is my daughter, Wendy Hilton.....
