Chapter 65: Chapter 65

They had only come out of the room to have dinner with the family, when they were distracted by a knock on the door and Paul walked in, announcing that Sandra was in the waiting room.

Samantha squint her eye for she could not tell what she needed from Craig by that time of the night, but he seem to read her mind, he pulls her close, and she felt shy a bit for her daughter and Mary were already seated and were staring at the both of them, like they should break the good news to them.

"I guess I should do it now". He says, then ordered Paul to let her in. He was still holding her close when Sandra walked in and the face she was first greeted with was the smiling face of Samantha, she was so angry, but she was very quick to hide her disgust.

"Wow Sam, I didn't know I will find you here". She managed to say, trying too hard to hide her rising anger. Sam just smiles and nodded, while Craig moved to a side, while she followed behind, looking at her with so much anger in her heart, and knowingly, Craig didn't let go of her hands.

"Alright, we are going to have to make some changes around the office". Craig started, and she took it from him, already looking for something she could say, to bring back her esteem.

" Exactly sir, that is why I came. Joseph Edmund will have to account directly to you, as the payments made by the inland and housing companies have not reflected till now. Also the Indian investors complained that the contract they signed, haven't received any consignment yet. And also........

"Don't worry yourself so much Sandra. It will no longer be a burden to you. With effect from tomorrow, you will move to Winlowtech, apple empire will have a new face to look at. Sam will be working there with me as my PA now. Sorry to bring it down on you, I know it is on short notice, but just like you said, we need to work on some of the staff members". He says then taps her shoulders before walking back to take his seat, while Samantha rushed to attend to Whitney, who mistakenly cut herself.

"I told you to always focus on your food! she exclaims, as she nurses her little cut.

Sandra, this time, didn't pretend, she was angry, she walked to him and stood beside him.

"You cants do that, I love working at Apple, I have been there for years, you cannot replace me now? She says, almost close to tears.

"Yes I can Sandra, stop telling me I cannot do something". He says calmly. Realizing what she just said, she swallowed hard and tries to apologize, but Samantha walked in.

"I know how sudden the information sounds, but if I am not doing well at Apple, I know Craig would bring you back". She was trying to please her, but the way she glared at her and turned away, she knew at that instant that she was too angry for words. She bowed her head and walked out of the house, while Samantha sank back on the chair, looking at Craig, waiting for him to say something, but he only pulls her close and asked.

"Should we break the news to them now?
