Something Feels Wrong

"Mr.Brooke I think if we make the walkway here it would be great," the engineer says and Dylan just nodded.

They were currently on the land they were going to use to build the biggest city mall ever consisting of 56 floors and 6 penthouses. The building plan was already set up and it was designed by Dylan himself you can say it is his small baby.

Everyone in the country was already looking forward to the project so mistakes make can not be allowed that was why he was there investigating the site himself.

Dylan and his assistant Charles surveyed the and the engineer followed behind them cautious of his every action.

"Did you think this land is going to be a problem," Dylan asked the engineer. "No I don't think so..... unless the government declares it as a green zone," the man says his expression turns serious and Dylan glanced at him.

When the engineer saw Dylan's glare he quickly corrected himself. "That was a joke nothing is going to go wrong, Mr. Brooke you should not worry yourself," the engineer says and Dylan turned his back to inspect if the land could take some many buildings at a time.

"What if they found a corpse on your land, Mr. Brooke, How fun would that be," the engineer says coldly looking at the retreating back of Dylan and he picked up his phone to text someone.

Dylan makes his way toward his car but he can't help but feel that something is wrong or something is about to go wrong.

"Charles make sure you double-check the land before the day of the press conference and I don't want anything left untouched," Dylan ordered his assistant had the man immediately jolted it down.

He knew his boss very well for him to say something then, that thing was worth checking out. Dylan's gut feeling was never wrong.

They both entered their car and the driver ignited it making a run to the road.

"Grrr grrr, "Dylan's phone blares up and he picked it up after seeing the name displayed on the screen.

"Hi mom, "Dylan greeted his voice softening a little bit. "You still know me as your mother but you haven't even visited me once after the attack," Clarissa complained over the phone.

"I am sorry mom, I will be visiting soon," Dylan says but his mother just snorted. "Kimberly would be coming to the office later, treat her well," Clarissa says but Dylan creased his brows in confusion.

"Kimberly??" he questioned and his mother gasped in surprise. "Oh my bad I haven't introduced you guys but she is a young girl that had been accompanying me these days but I am sure you will know her father, he...., "Clarissa was saying but Dylan cut her off.

"The HR department would take care of her if she truly is qualified for the position she applied for," Dylan says making his stance known. "Ok fine," Clarissa answered grumpily hanging up his phone.

Dylan smiled at his mother's pettiness but he can't condone any spoilt princess action, he already has a lot on his plate.

"How is the preparation going?"Dylan asked his assistant Charles. "The penthouse has been decorated sir and the flowers have also been purchased," Charles reported and Dylan nodded.

He is planning a dinner tonight and he is going to use that dinner to confess his love to Sandra and maybe also tell her the secrets he had been keeping to himself all this while.

Karl was right she deserved to know, Dylan thought.

*************************************

A luxurious car screeched to stop in front of a gigantic building and a beautiful refined woman cladded in a knee-length skirt and a loose blouse alighted from it.

She looked at the magnificent building and she smiled. "All this is going to be mine one day" Kimberly mutters.

She walked into the company and went to the front desk going to inquire.

"Good morning, "Kimberly greeted the cute woman that was at the front desk, that her face was radiating even with no makeup on and she sneered at the girl's beauty.

"What's the point of this face if you are just working at the front desk, "Kimberly thought.

"Good morning ma'am, how can I be of help?" the lady asked with her face beaming with smiles.

"I am here to see the HR director," Kimberly says and the woman gazed at her but she didn't say anything offensive.

"Did you have an appointment with him," she asked battling her thick eyelashes that Kimberly found irritating.

"No but if you tell him it's Kimberly Kendall then I am sure he would be running out with his tail behind him," Kimberly says rather arrogantly Mrs. Brooke was there to see her then she would have exclaimed in shock. The receptionist picked up her phone to call the HR director's office and she used that opportunity to scrutinize Kimberly.

Her skirt might look simple but they are surely customized, her loose blouse also looks luxurious and her simple jewelry is already screaming for wealth even if she doesn't know before she knew the woman in front if he should not strife with but that doesn't mean she can talk rudely to people.

Rich people sure have their ways of making people feel worthless, the receptionist thought.

The receptionist make the call to the HR office and she mentioned Kimberly's name after some seconds the call was up and Kimberly snorted arrogantly now watching as the director rushed to receive me.

"The HR department is on the 24th floor, Mr. Keith is waiting for you," the receptionist relayed the information, and that surprised Kimberly.

"Isn't he coming to receive me?" she asked shocked that the man could still say that after hearing her name.

She stomped away from the reception fuming in anger. "How dare that man ordered me around," Kimberly says entering the elevator.

After she got to the HR department, the man still doesn't give regard to her and he assigned her to her department.

"I am to work as a staff in the financial department," she says getting out of the HR department director's office. "That bald-haired man!!" Kimberly berated the man going out of the department but the gossip she heard from the girls in the department halted her steps.

"I heard Miranda saw the CEO coming into the building now, OMG her eyes were blessed," some female workers gushed among themselves, and that was enough to get the giddy.

Kimberly heard that and that put her in a good mood. "Looks like I have to go and make a good impression," Kimberly mumbled and she rushed towards the elevator she wondered which floor she should press and she later decided to just go to the top floor and waited for him there and maybe disguise it as a coincidence.

That sounds like a good plan, she thought entering the elevator which took her to the top floor.

Immediately she got out of the elevator she was faced with the secretaries at the desk busy sorting out different files and she sighed.

"Maybe he wasn't here yet," Kimberly thought and she turned but she was lucky to be faced with Dylan that just gotten out of his private elevator she smiled dressing her hair well before she walks towards him.

"Mr. Brooke...., "Kimberly was greeting but she got shunned by Dylan. "It's fine," Dylan says not even bothering to look at the person that just greeted him his assistant followed him behind closely wondering who the new girl was

Does she just got shunned? Kimberly asked looking at the retreating figure of Dylan.

"Maybe he doesn't remember my face," Kimberly assured herself not believing the abrupt rejection she decided to turn back but she bumped into someone.

"Ouch, "Kimberly yelped when her head came in contact with the person's chest. Wow so hard he must work out a lot, Kimberly thought.

"Don't sound like the victim Miss you are the one that bumped into me, "Karl's amused voice rang out and Kimberly got surprised wondering why someone's voice sounded so good.

She quickly shifted back from the man's body when she saw that they were close. "Sorry," Kimberly muttered quickly making her way out of the place without catching a glimpse of the person she bumped into because she can already feel people's eyes on her.

Karl looked at the revealing figure of the girl that just bumped into him and he smirked. "What a scaredly cat," he mused before he resumed his steps.

"Now let's go and give the cold CEO some tips on how to make a date successful maybe while at it I can just beg him to invest in me as an actor," Karl says happily with the crazy idea that just jumped on his head and he rushed towards Dylan's office surprising the secretaries around.

Who else wanted to see Karl as an actor???
