Barrister Dickson said you should take some documents to the court, you should be fast because the court closes by four and you are to go and come back here to get some research that you will work on

Alright, I will be right behind.

When she turned around, Cathy sighed badly.

She shake her head, she hurry out of the car, Tony laughed.

Silly girl.

He zoom off, Whitney is waiting patiently for Cathy, Cathy had texted her before her phone run down that she will come to her office and now her phone is off.

She is really very sad, when Gregory drove in, she is sitting outside the chamber, she was about going in when he call her

She turned to him, she just sighed bitterly.

Aren't you happy to see me? Not that, why are you here?

I want to have lunch with you but since you want to have lunch with Cathy let me take you to her office.

Really? You will take me there? Yes, hop in, let's go.

Her face brighten, Gregory and her arrive at Cathy chamber.

Miss, good day, I am here to see Cathy, my name is Whitney.

She is not around, she went out. The secretary wasn't even friendly, although she love the sight she is seeing, fear of what barrister Dickson will do to her.

If he finds out he keeps visitor for Cathy made her to hide her lust for the young man beside Whitney, she doesn't even know why barrister Dickson, treat Cathy coldly.

Alright, we can just wait for her.

No, you can not, visitors are not allowed.

But miss...

Gregory wanted to help.

I am sorry sir, the barrister Dickson, will kill me.

Come Whitney, let's leave.

Her whole being look drenched, she might drop dead.

You can go back, I lost my appetite, let me go back to my office.

Gregory knows that if he let her go to the office she might passed out, so he took her to his.

Boss! Gregory look at Craig, he smiled, then he saw Whitney walking behind him.

Whitney, you are here? She nodded. Boss, you have a meeting with the board members, you are almost late, so you should go now.

Alright, Whitney, I will be back before you know it.

Okay!

That was the only word she said, he turned around and left, Craig was busy working on a file, he didn't say a word to Whitney, he raise his head only to see Whitney crying.

Shit! Why are you crying?

Nothing! She wipe her face.

My bad, I would had made you comfortable, come with me.

To Where?

Relax, I am not going to bite you. In the office, there is an inner room, that is well furniture like it's a house.

Will you like to play a game? She nodded then she frown. What is it?

Hope; you are not going to win me? Her questions make Craig smile, she is no different from Gregory.

I will not. He arrange the stuff, Whitney is busy trying Cathy's number.

Cathy, can't you just call me. She blurt out, then he knows that Whitney is worried because of Cathy.

You can drop a voice note for her, when her phone on, she will receive it.

That's true, I never thought of it. She wanted to talk then she looks at Craig, he stand up.

I will excuse you, you can press the button when you done.

She nodded, Craig go out, Whitney drop a voice note for Cathy, telling her all the things Barrister Leonard keep doing to her, that she is so scared that he might rape her

That she missed Cathy, that Cathy should call her, when she have time and send her the address, so she can come on weekends.

When she is done, she press the button, Craig walk in.

Let's start. When the game began, it was Slow but at times goes on it becomes much fun, Whitney is smiling, Gregory return he noticed that Craig had made her happy, he is watching them and all of a sudden she held Craig hand.

What is it?

Don't you love Cathy? Her words made him choke. Come on, Cathy is a good girl.

Tony enter the office, he didn't see Gregory So he also go to the inner room but none of them notice.

Whitney, your friend has a boyfriend now, so I can't date her.

Just tell me, you love her, I could make her break up with Tony.

Hearing her words, Tony hated her more, Whitney is part of the reason Cathy accept to be his girlfriend and this is one of the reasons that he wants to keep Cathy from her, he turned around and left.

I am the one that made Cathy fall in love with Tony, just leave that to me.

Whitney, things are not done like that.

You don't love her. Craig gulped his saliva, Gregory sense the tension.

Hey you two what are you discussing? The boss is here, I will go back to my work.

Craig rush into the bathroom, he flash water on his face.

Did she know how much I want to breath same air with her? She doesn't know that I want to lie on same bed with Cathy? How much I want to be the only one that make her smile? But I lost her, I freaking lost her.

Craig, come out, let's go.

Fine, give me ten minutes. That is too big of a time, get out now.

Craig wipe his face, when he get out Gregory saw his eyes were red, he felt sorry for him

Tony, you are back?

Yes, are you still working?

Yes, I need to finish the research today, I need to submit it in the morning

Okay, no light?

They just off it.

Oh! Let me put on the generator.

I will appreciate, when you are done, can you please help me charge my phone, I need to call Whitney, she must be really mad at me because I have not really been talking to her.

Alright; let me plug it.

Tony plug the phone after he switched the generator on, immediately the phone on, Whitney message appear in the screen, he just delete it.

Do I have message? Yes, it's from network.

Alright, just delete and let me get you what to eat.

No, I have placed an order already, it will be here soon.

That is so thoughtful of you.

Tony doesn't want to eat her meal, the only thing she could prepare well is noodles, she is a bad cook.

Tony is not the type that tolerate bad cook but he love this girl, what can he do, he doesn't want to make her know that he hates to eat her food.

When the three arrive Home, Whitney phone peep , Brian texted that he is not coming back till the next day, she sighed.

Annoying people.

Grace is back, she hugged Craig and kissed him, Whitney is irritated.

Don't you have shame? Why do you keep throwing yourself at boys? Can't you just be decent like your friend?

Grace laughed

Decent! Cathy is decent!

Of cause, she is nothing like you, she will never throw herself at a boy.

A decent girl, that live with a boy alone, is she bold enough to tell George that she doesn't live with you? Did George know that his little decent sister is now in a man house?

Grace, keep your mouth shut, if you don't want me to hurt you. Whitney warn

I am just thinking, what will a decent girl be doing right now, alone with a boy? Probably kissing and...

Craig heart race, he closed his eyes, Whitney rush to Grace, knocking her to the couch, the things in her bag scattered, Gregory pull her from Grace.

Let me go. She pulled herself from Gregory, she gather her stuff and walked away, Grace sighed and walked outside, she need air to calm.

Don't think about her words too much? Gregory said tapping him on the shoulder and left, Craig wants to go but his eyes catch Whitney phone.

This girl, she forgot her phone.

Whitney phone ping showing that the message has been delivered, Craig become curious to know what the voice note is, he get his laptop.

In a second, all her message contact appear on his laptop screen, he have hack her phone.

What? That bastard

Where is it? Whitney walked in and was scattering things. Oh, where did I drop it?

Gregory walked behind her.

What are you looking for? He asked

My phone, Craig did you see my phone? Whitney voice distract Craig, he nodded.

Can I have it?

What?

I thought you said you saw my phone? I didn't see it. He try to compose himself.

Alright, I just check myself. She keeps searching Gregory walk to Craig, he stretch his hand.

What?

The phone. Craig stretch his head and then give it to Gregory, he smiled. Whitney, your phone.

Thanks! She get it and left, Gregory turned to Craig.

Tell me what you see?

See.. I... he stutter.

You don't know how to lie, go on, is that stupid Brian sending her, his nude?

You should worry about Leonard not him.

Is Leonard doing anything to her? I didn't say so.

Gregory smile, Craig turn to leave.

Tell me, what is Leonard doing to her? Nothing, just maybe you should pay her a visit during working hours, she might be stressed.

He said alot of words, he dart upstairs, he doesn't want to explain more.

I know Leonard is a womanizer and the way Whitney behaved when she saw him that morning, it better not be what I am thinking, if not I will kill him.
