Whitney did not sleep through the night, she is going to missed Cathy but what can she do? She need to let Cathy live her life.

When Cathy finish packing up, Whitney eyes was already mist

Hey stop it, is not like I am dying, I am just leaving this place.

I know, you know I am used to stay around you.

But this place is closer to your chamber and don't worry I will come visit by next week, you know I will have to resume on Monday

Fine, just be a good girl, if Tony bully you just call me.

Yes ma'am

Brother man, you said that Cathy is leaving with you?

Yes, I don't want her living here anymore.

Tony, what madness is this? Craig, I am not talking to you, stay off my case, I don't want her living here.

Wait, you know that she have health issues, she doesn't know about it and you will be leaving in the next two weeks.

That is the more reason I am leaving with her.

How are you going to care for her when you are not there?

Boss' boss, I will care for her.

Whitney and Cathy walk in.

Beans pie, you are done? She nodded.

So you are leaving? Gregory asked her. Yes, I didn't mean to leave like this but I really appreciate the fact that you did treat me like family, for everything you did to me, you are really kind heart

You have to keep an annoying guest in your house that fight your guest.

Gregory smile.

It's okay, you were defending yourself.

Sorry, I bully your guest, thanks for everything.

You will always come by weekend, right? No, she is not coming, I will take Whitney to her.

Gregory look at Tony.

Come on beans pie let's leave.

Bye then, I have to go, Whitney help me get my bag.

My keys, I need to get it.

They both left while Tony go up to get his keys, when coming back Craig block him

Craig, do you want to fight me?

No, I don't want to fight with you, can you please not let her leave?

Gregory look at Craig, he is begging again because of her, he is almost in tears.

Why? So you can go to her in the night? Wait, I didn't say that because I want to do something bad to her, fine I will stay away from her but...

Craig, get out of my way.

Please, I beg you...

Get out of my way.

I beg you, Please...

Craig, let him go. Gregory pull him from Tony, he walked out, Craig pushed the glass in the bar.

Huh! It hurt, have I not try? I left her for him, does he still have to separate her from me.

I am human, I have feelings too.

Craig, it's enough.

It hurt, how did he expects me to survive without her?

His tears is much.

Beans pie, let's go. Whitney, don't you want to come with me?

No, I can always visit. Her tears drop, Cathy hugged her. Leave already I might break down more, just call me when you get there.

Fine, don't you dare cry. She nodded, she turned leaving Cathy and Tony to drive away.

Craig, stop, Whitney is coming. He wipe his tears and dart upstairs, Whitney didn't notice because she too is in pain, she run to Gregory, she cry on his shoulder.

Tony is wicked, I hate him, he didn't think of the pain that the separation will cause me, he knows Cathy have issues but he didn't care about her

What if she have an attack who will care for her? He is wicked, he so heartless.

Whitney!

I hate him, I wish Cathy never dated him. Gregory run his hand on her back.

What is going on here? The act surprised Brian at his arrival, Whitney leave Gregory and run into Brian hand.

Gregory look at the space in his hands in sadness Craig shook his head, he tap his shoulder.

Come on, let's get out of here. Brian held Whitney in his hand to his room because her tears keep coming down

Molly and Paula felt sorry for the two.

Sir Craig and sir Gregory are getting hurt all the time since sir Tony and Brian take their girlfriend.

Molly, Cathy is not sir Craig girlfriend.

he love her, did you see that day they were in trouble? Sir Craig is like a mad man, I also learn that he get those bruises because of her.

Stop gossiping your boss. Ian walk into them.

sorry about it.

Gregory didn't let Craig drive, even though he was driving really slow, Craig did not complain, on a norm, he would had complain but he didn't

Are you alright? Gregory asked him

They always leave with the one they love. Hearing his words Gregory tears also drop.

I tell myself many times, love is made for the fools, only fools fall in love.

He laughed

I didn't know I am a fool as well, a very big one, Gregory!

He used his name when he is frustrated.

How did you cope with this pain called love in your heart for so long?

Gregory park the car, he look at Craig. Go on and answer me. He hugged Craig, that is what he need at that point in time.

Now he knows why his mom was devastated when his dad left, although his other family is almost as old as Craig, he is only older than his step brother with just a year.

To love is pain, to love someone that is in love with another is more painful, Craig heart is broken.

Come on beans pie! Tony open the door, Cathy missed Whitney but what can she do? Although, it's not as massive as Gregory's mansion but it's decent, it's a two bedroom apartment, the place is well furniture.

She have her own apartment, it's even bigger and more fancy than her family house.

Beans pie, you don't like the place? Cathy look at him. I know you missed Whitney, she can always come here, if you keep seeing Craig, he might rape you.

Cathy gulped her saliva

Sorry, I am just missing Whitney, is my first time of living away from her since we became friends, the place is lovely, I really need to show Whitney this.

She picked her phone and call Whitney.

Pick your call silly. Did you just call me silly? Her voice wasn't clear, it show she is crying, Cathy end the call and face call her

Why are you calling on video call? Are you crying?

No!

Are you sure? I could...

I missed you.

Whitney change the topic, she doesn't want Cathy to feel guilty

I missed you too, let me show you the place Tony got for me, it's big and spacious, it's even bigger than our house, you needed to see the restroom.

Don't show me that, I want to see your kitchen.

Alright, could you believe I have microwave, I will come pick you, so you stay for the weekend.

I will love to, is Grace there now? No, I haven't see her and she didn't call.

You should know that girl is a mad woman, she disappeared at anytime, is Brian back?

No, he is out, he is very busy.

Oh! I will...

Beans pie, you should take your bath and rest Abit, so I order for food

Fine, Whitney, I talked to you later.

Careful. She sighed and end the call, Whitney hated Tony.

I feel like killing him

Who do you want to kill? Gregory asked, she grimace.

No one, I just go to my room.

During dinner, Whitney is not happy, it was like funeral for all of them, Brian did not come home, she was damn lonely

Whitney, why are you not sleeping? I am waiting for Cathy's call, she promised to call but her number is not going through.

Maybe, she is busy she will call when she is less Busy, go to bed.

Alright, good night.

Through the Sunday, Whitney is still not able to reach Cathy her number is busy; she waited for her call but to no avail, Monday morning arrive, Whitney dress up to go to work.

Ma Whitney, breakfast is at the dinning.

Thanks, I go without it, where are the other? They left very early, sir Gregory drop some cash for you to make use of.

Thanks! I go on now.

Good morning Whitney! Leonard secretary greeted her.

Morning is sir...

She didn't finish her words before Kelly approach her

Whitney, is a good thing you are health enough to work, we are having a meeting now and you should come with me so you can also meet the other student, who is having her attachment here.

Alright sir!

Is Kelly! She smiled, she walked behind him, she is smartly dress but she looks really gorgeous.

Entering the office Leonard head go banana, her beauty made him want her.

Good morning sir, I am...

It's okay, have your sit, this is Serena, she is also here for her internship, this is barrister Kelly, Barrister king, you can see it's a small firm, you ought to have started same time with...

I am sorry sir, is...

It's okay, your information bring the firm more opportunities so we appreciate it, we are having a court case, so we want ideas

The facts of the case is before you, so read and let me know your point.

Whitney scared through it, before Serena could barely go through it, she already knows what the case is about

It's a tort of trespass, assault and battery, the woman had complain that the man is planting on her land without her permission which is trespass

Instead of letting go of the land he slapped her, torn her wears which is assault and he was telling everyone she is a prostitute

Barrister Leonard is please with her explanation, he run his hand on her exposed hand.

You are good, you will make a good lawyer.

Everyone in the office know that Barrister Leonard is a degree holder when it comes to girls but he never display his affection in front of his worker.

Serena doesn't like the way Leonard is staring at Whitney, he is a single man, she had thought of hooking up with him but Leonard is not interested in her.

So since we have the area, we should get a case attached to it.

Alright, I will be going to the library Whitney will you like to come with me? Barrister Kelly want to go with her.

No, she will not, she will have to show me some other case file, the rest of you can leave.

When they left, he is alone with Whitney. you should come look at some thing in my system.

She stand abit far from him but Leonard grab her waist she jerk.

Sir stop it.

Sorry, I just want to show you.

She gulped her saliva, the place is hot for her, after long discussion on some of the fact of cases and he often run his hand on Whitney

He finally let her go, she is sad, Cathy call her all of a sudden.

Bad friend, so you forget me. Sorry Whitney, I was going to call but I slept off, how is your...

Cathy!

I will talk to you later Whitney! My principal is calling me.

She end the call.

you are told not to talk during working hours but you disobey

I am sorry, I just want to make this call...

From now on, I will be the one to hold your phone, you don't need this distraction, you didn't resume on time.

Barrister Dickson third get her phone, it's a small firm so it's just Cathy, him and his secretary, he is popular, handsome and single too but his handsome face is far from his attitude he possesses towards Cathy

You have to go to the library and get all this research material for me.

Yes sir

He had given her alot of fact to read and research material to go through.

Cathy is stress up already, she didn't remember to call Whitney because her phone is gone, Whitney is frustrated.

Hey, how is your first day at work? Hope no one is bullying you?

Whitney see the message she smiled, it's from Gregory.

If anyone is bullying me, what are you going to do?

Just say to the rescue and I will appear.

He send two animated one beating the other.

Gregory call her suddenly

So who is beating the other? You should know it's me. Whitney blush hard.

Get off my phone before people think I am crazy.

Fine, see you at home.

The end button dismissed the call, she call Cathy back but her phone is switched off.

The rest of the day was hell for her, some times barrister Leonard will just come to her bench and touch her hand.

When she get home, she is really sad, she wants to talk to Cathy but it's not possible.

Grace return that even

Grace, where have you been? Sorry, I would had called but I don't have network, where is Cathy?

Tony rented her own apartment for her, so she no longer live here.

Whoa! She didn't tell me, let me call her. Grace dialed the number but she is busy on another girl.

Who is calling her? Grace asked Whitney.

Do I know the type of stupid call she is making? Whitney words show hurt.

Alright, let me bath and rest, I am so tired. Grace get her stuff and left, Whitney go behind her

Her sadness break Gregory's heart, he decided to talk to Tony, he hit on the door.

Who is it?

Is me brother man, open up.

Tony open the door, he is talking to Cathy.

Beans pie, give me some few minutes, I will talk to you.

Alright, I will just end and call Whitney, I promise to call her.

Don't end it, you should carry on, I want to watch you why you do what you doing.

Alright, let me do my research. Tony didn't end the call, he just mute it, seeing the act Tony put up, he knows the reason Whitney couldn't reach her is because of Tony calls

He is mad but he is trying so hard to calm down.

Brother man, why don't you end the call so Whitney can talk to her?.

Are you telling me not to talk to my girlfriend?

No, you are not talking to her now, ending the call we give Whitney the opportunity to reach her.

I am not stopping her, If she can't wait let her go to bed.

Brother man, you know that Whitney can't bear to stay without Cathy, letting her talk to her a little, will give her joy.

Boss' boss, I am not stopping anybody for talking to her.

You should no this separation hurt, it hurts not just Whitney but also I and Craig.

Craig again? She is my girl not Craig, if Craig wants a girl he should go look for his.

It's not just him, the girl in question is my friend.

Gregory look at the picture on the screen Cathy is already fast asleep.

Did you asked them to stress her also? Yes, she have lost a month, I don't want her to lost focus, so I am cutting her distraction.

Wait, are you saying you will not let Whitney speak with her?

Yes, I don't want any bad influence on her, I know she will get hurt but Whitney is not a good friend for her, after some time she will forget about her

Shit! Gregory curse under his breath. Brother man, don't...

I have made my decision, I want to sleep if you don't mind.

Tony, I really don't know you. Hearing him call him Tony, break his heart, he wear a devilish smile.

So I am no longer your brother man because I made Craig sad? I know your major concern is Craig, it's always Craig.

Gregory walked out, he put off the call.

Good night love, I know with time, you will forget her.

He kissed the screen of the phone, Gregory try to hold himself but his heart is in pain, he failed Whitney.

How will his Whitney survive without Cathy, will Whitney and Craig survive it.
