Suspicious

At the Hamilton's mansion

Amber was lazily lying on the couch in her bedroom while browsing on her phone. Since she separated from the couple, she decided to browse as she got bored. She first went through some posts concerning children's health. Then she went on her social media and made a post on how to prevent gastritis and stomach cancer.

Then she texted Amy asking if she has already reached home and the girl responded that she had a friend to visit. And Amber immediately understood who that friend was and did not question her further. She then continued with her research on rare illnesses attacking kids.

Several hours ago,

At the Groove mansion

Talia woke up early and did her usual morning routine. Then she went down to take breakfast with her brother only as their father went on a business trip. She then started eating her meal without a care in the world. As she was very careful with her body size and the risk of extinction of animals. She was a vegetarian and it didn't take much time for her to finish her food.

Afterwards, she texted her childhood best friend informing her that she was looking for a secretary for her elder brother. Her friend immediately accepted and said that as she was heading out and would use it as an opportunity inorder to find someone reliable.

While Talia was resting in the parlor, a maid suddenly came in and handed to her a white envelop covered in red dots. As she didn't like their butler, she personally chose a maid to serve only her and in whom she could trust. The only thought of the butler serving her food made her nauseous and gave her headache.

"Cindy, do you know who sent this envelop?" Talia was a little puzzled. Not that she didn't have friends but the problem is that as she had few, all of them usually came to personally give it to her in hand and when they have an unplanned matter, they will always call her or at least text her. Never will they act like this.

"Miss Groove, actually I don't think the person is one of your friends or relatives as I have never seen that lady before." Cindy said as she was quite confused too. She had been working for Talia for 3 years. So she knew almost all of her friends and family members. 'So it is actually a lady, hmmm? She came here uninvited and left without passing by to show us even the slightest bit of politeness.

Talia proceeded in the opening of the envelop and smiled after reading its content. 'So it is that bitch who dared to provoke me. And she is having a party.' Talia laughed at the thought of what she will do inorder to teach her a lesson.

Talia then went to take a look at her social media, then she went to look for her best friend's one and finally Amber's own. 'Always check on your enemy. Know him like an idol according to the weight of the grudges you have for the person.' Talia always says as it was one of her favorite mottos.

She saw the post Amber made and smirked. "So, she is that bored that she has the time to post this shit. What does it have to do with her department? Seems as if I will have to find a way to increase her work in the hospital so that she may concentrate more on her sector." Talia said it loud enough for anyone to hear but she didn't care much, as her brother was resting in his room. But suddenly she heard a familiar voice from the entrance.

"Don't even think about it. Aren't you tired of torturing her? Moreover, I saw her post too and there is nothing wrong in advising netizens." her best friend said while entering and joined her on the couch. She couldn't accept that Amber should suffer again because of Talia. She already passed through a lot. "No I'm not. *Sigh* let's stop talking about her. Let's talk about you instead." Talia said hurriedly.

Talia knew that her friend will always find excuses for Amber and they will always argue until they're tired. This time she wouldn't let that witch to disunite her and her best friend. "I saw what you posted and you were as awesome and stunning as usual. Give me some tips." she winked at her friend. "Thank you for your flattering and coaxing me but even if I give you my tips, you still won't use it. Am I wrong?" her friend said while raising an eyebrow accusingly.

Talia was caught and the only thing she could think of saying escaped her lips "I love you so much." while giving her a hug. Only her could understand what is usually going through Talia's head. That's why they have the habit to always share everything, keeping no secrets from each other.

Jace heard voices and laughter coming from down while disturbing his sleep. He was not tired again and was well collected. So, he decided to go down and check on the person discussing with his sweet devilish little sister. After going down the stairs he stood rooted at the ground as if frozen by the Malicious Queen of Ice.

"Amy!" he exclaimed in disbelief and excitement after regaining his senses. Amy stood up and went to hug the man while crying and smiling at the same time. "I missed you so much Bunny. How long has it been since we parted? It felt like decades. I thought you were angry with me." Amy said still in his arms.

"No!! Don't blame yourself! It was not your fault. You shouldn't feel guilty about it, okay? I still love and care about you. If not then what type of a brother am I then? I will always be there for you." he said while stroking her head lovingly. She left the hug and motioned for him to hold her little finger. "Pinky swear?" He chuckled and responded with clear sincerity "Pinky swear."

The scene was so emotional that Talia couldn't help crying herself. She secretly took them in picture and decided to keep it for herself. She then coughed inorder to get their attention. They suddenly let go of the past and started laughing then Talia asked Cindy to serve them a glass of lemonade each.

"Amy, did you check what I asked you?" Talia asked in a calm and professional manner. "Oh yes!! I forgot to tell you. While shopping with Amber, I found the perfect lady for the job. You know that I am as very much professional as you are. So this is her information." Amy couldn't contain her excitement and joy.

She took a folder from her bag and handed it to her friend. "Milli Anderson, 23 years old, female, orphan, single, healthy, polite, kind, respectful, humble and studied Economics in school." Talia was stunned. She couldn't ask more from Amy and was very satisfied with the result.

Whereas Jace was taken aback by the sudden turning of the situation. He never thought that his sister was serious about it. What he couldn't understand was why the information said she was single when it wasn't important. Just when he was about to ask about it, everyone heard a phone ringing and they started verifying their phones to make sure it wasn't theirs.

Then was stunned when they discovered that it was the butler's phone. He especially had a disturbed look after taking the call, which made Talia very wary of him and her suspicious and cold look couldn't be hidden.
