Chapter 3 Episode 3

Derek felt anxious all of a sudden. Apparently, he is outside the building leaning against his car. Shawn was by his side.

Derek scratched the back of his head irritably waiting for the lady to come out. He tapped his feet on the floor impatiently.

Shawn stood behind him and felt a little anxious. "What if the lady doesn't show up up or come out? He turned to his boss and explained quickly. "I saw her go in there with a man.

Derek was speechless. He looked up at Shawn sending him signals to keep quiet.

Shawn gulped hard and faked a smile turning away.

About ten minutes, Olivia and Alvin walked out of the building. Olivia was on wig and contacts now. she might not be recognized.

Shawn pinched his face seeing the lady was different from the one he saw earlier. Her dress was the same but her hair was no longer blonde but dark brown.

Before Shawn could say anything, Derek averted his eyes to him. his gaze became sharp. Shawn was afraid by his gaze that he drew back and swallowed his saliva. "She's.....

"You are fired," Derek growled out and strode back to his mansion.

Shawn was shocked. "is there something wrong with my vision," he wiped his face and blinked repeatedly.

"No!No! This must be a joke," he murmured.

He knew there was nothing wrong with his vision and there's only one way to find out! Follow them!

He got in to his car and trailed behind them.

Meanwhile, Derek walked back in to the mansion. He headed straight to his study room. There was a laptop in front of him and a glass of water beside him. He was working effortlessly. He needed to get his mind off Olivia. "Why would Shawn mistaken her for another lady," he thought as his fingers moved effortless on the keypad.

Suddenly, he felt someone was staring at him. He looked up and his gaze landed on Violet.

"Hi," his voice came out hoarse, but it was coldly.

Violet averted her eyes to the laptop and then to Derek. " i came by at your office today but you weren't there," she strode towards him and took a chair by his side. "You working?" She added.

"Yeah," Derek nodded and typed down some words before he shifted his gaze back to Violet. "I need some space please.

Thinking of his previous behaviour when he saw her in the office, Violet huffed angrily and asked. " Are you actually avoiding me?" She bits her lip and added " so you are," she narrowed her eyes to the laptop screen.

Derek immediately knew the stunt she is about to pull. "thought we have talk about this before?" Derek said his eyes still fixed on Violet.

"No Derek! you're avoiding me," Violet said , her voice lace with sadness. "All I'm asking for, is for you to give me a chance to prove myself worthy of you.... I know we will make a great couple.. pls just give me chance.

Derek was about to drink water, he stopped and looked up at Violet before sipping a little from it and placing the glass back on the table. "Please can we not talk about this at least not today. I have a lot of work ," Derek said and took his eyes back to the laptop.

Violet nodded and wiped the edge of her eyes.. "umm! okay fine! i will go prepare something for you to eat then.

Derek sneered inwardly. He was smart and he understood what Violet was trying to do. "No! don't bother. I'm not hungry! I will have the cook prepare something for me when I'm hungry," Derek was impressed by his own response. he doesn't wanna get entangled with the woman that left him two years back.

"That's it Derek," Violet banged loudly on the table unable to tolerate Derek's behaviour. "am i really that bad that you wanna get rid of me," Violet yelled.

Derek was taken aback! he shook his head and said. " Fine! prepare something light for me to eat.

Violet beamed immediately as he said that and she rushed to the kitchen excitedly.

"No matter how you try Derek, you will never be able to get rid of me," she smiled and decided to prepare quiou risotto with mushroom.

When she was done, she served the meal in a plate and placed it on the tray taking it to Derek.

she walked back in to the study room and placed the tray on one side of the table.

Derek looked up and gazed at the tray. He frowned and said "quiou Risotto with mushroom?

Violet refilled the glass of water and placed it in front of him," she snapped angrily at him. "You said you want something light now eat," she huffed.

Some how, she felt that she shouldn't have talked to her soon to be husband like that but she didn't care anyways! he made her do it.

**********

Not long after Olivia and Alvin settled down in a restaurant to catch things up as friends, a man also sat down on a chair close to them. his back facing them.

The man brought out his phone and listened to their conversation closely recoding everything.

"Do really have to wear wig and contacts?

Shawn widen his eyes and wiped his ears as he heard that! That was Alvin asking Olivia.

Shawn smiled, stood up and left immediately he got what he wanted. "Thank goodness i followed them! now young master won't fire me after seeing this," He said excitedly and made to walk over to the other side of the rood where his car was packed but unfortunately for him, a vehicle came crushing him down .

It all happened so fast that before he knew what was happening, he was on the ground in his own pull of blood as blood was pouring out of a cut on his head. Everything became blurry and he went in to a state of unconsciousness.
