The Woman in The Photos.

"Am sorry but I have to ask , aren't you taught to blend in with your surroundings. So how can you be this bad at dressing up ?" Charlotte frowned .

Alara sighed.

"My type of job only allows me to move during the night and I attack all my target when they are alone . I don't always have to blend in with the crowd or be seen anywhere near them when in public" she explained.

"So you don't play dress much ,not even with your sister ?".

"I do go with her to shoppings when I get the time. But never for myself " she answered.

"And why is that ...you need clothes too " Charlotte helped fix her hair.

"I rarely need to buy more, the ones I do own still fit me even after years" she breathed.

"I bet , with the way you watch your weight you body doesn't need to change much " Charlotte stood back to admire her work. "I think we are done " she smiled.

Her hair was down not in her usually bun , with light make up. She was dressed in purple short dress matched with black heels.

Passing her a matching purse she moved to push some of her long hair behind her ear.

"I have to say you have a beautiful and curvy figure ,sister in law " she commented.

Alara turned to the mirror ,smiling.

"Thank you for helping me get ready " she said.

"Well we took our time , it's almost lunch time. So you need to hurry up and leave " Charlotte muttered.

"Alright , a few minutes and I will be down" she answered.

Charlotte moved to the door.

"Let me check with the kitchen if the lunch is ready and packed . Hurry up " leaving .

Alara gazed back in the mirror taking a deep breath.

Was she really doing this she thought.

And it wasn't because she wanted to prove to Ivana anything but because Rae deserved it.

...

"Are you down with your meeting ?" Ivana walked up to Rae who had just stepped out of the meeting room.

He nodded still walking off to his office.

"The others wanted me to ask yo to join us for lunch . It's been such a long time since we had one all of us " she said to him.

He sighed still walking. He knew this was going to happen. Everytime she came to visit with his grandfather and had to work at the company , she always used that excuse to get him to have lunch with her.

She knew the others would notice the way she treated him to start rumours about them being in a relationship . He used to say no but am a while gave in. It was also a chance for him to get close to his employees, who seemed to keep a scary distance from him.

"I can't today , am busy " he said.

"But I check with your assistant, your free until your evening meeting " she insisted.

"Doesn't mean I don't have work in my office waiting" he said.

"Come on it's been so long and it won't take long . You will be back in a few minutes " she grabbed his hand.

Rae stopped and gently pushed it aside.

"Okay , I will join you but only for a few minutes ".

She nodded smiling .

.....

Alara got to the company ,the car park in the lower parking log . Before she could get out of the car she noticed Rae walking to his car he was with Ivana.

She frowned but didn't move .

"Follow them " she let out. The driver nodded and started the car again following his master.

They drove until a close by restaurant . Ivana had a warm smile on her face as they stepped out of the car. Rushing to his side she slid her hand holding onto his arm as they walked into the restaurant.

Alara took the packed lunch and her things and left the car. Quietly she walked to the restaurant and immediately noticed them on a table filled with another group of people.

Sitting close by she listened, se had noticed them all putting the same office tags around there necks.

"This is so good, it's been awhile since the boss treated us to lunch " one said.

"Its all thanks to Miss Ivana....we are so glad your back " another added.

Ivana let out a soft chuckle.

"Thanks for not forgetting me and it's not me you need to thank but Rae " she let out.

"Thank you boss " they all muttered.

He slightly nodded but didn't say a word. Alara had noticed his cold intimidating aura .

"But we all know he only does this because of you , miss Ivana ".

Alara heard them say.

"No it isn't ,he just wants to get close to you guys " she said . "Let's dig in ".

"Oh boss, am sorry to ask . But I heard about your engagement?" One finally asked.

"We all know it was fake news....they always want to spread rumours about him " a female worker said.

"The woman in the photos isn't known so it must be fake ".

"Miss Ivana seems close to boss , so we know that ..."she was stopped by a voice behind her.

"Honey ..." they all heard someone call .

They turned to see Alara, she was so beautiful and the colour of the dress added even more brightness around her.

She was confidently standing there with a smile , holding a large bag in her hands.

"Love ..." Rae found himself say

They all frowned as they watched him get up and run to her.

They had never seen him smile or act that way ,so they all stared in awe.

"Am sorry I interrupted your lunch ,but I had made you some lunch too" she let out.

He smiled as his ears turned red , she noticed and couldn't help to giggle.

"You bought me lunch ?" He muttered.

She nodded ,"But I see your already having something" her eyes moved to the table he was at earlier and gave them a smile.

They gasped , "who is that beautiful woman ?" One female worker asked.

"She looks familiar " another said.

"Guys ..it's her . The woman in the photos ,boss's fiancée"

"Ahhhh..."they all let out.
