My day started with a text message from my former Assistant and now my girlfriend Britney Peters

**Hi..... Babe,
How are you doing? so I tried calling you all through yesterday but your line was not rechargeable..
You need to come back as soon as possible if you still want to remain partner....... JP is not slowing down. He's ripping off all your clients list and I'm scared they might be no left by the time you return
Pls. Just come home
And ohhh.. I miss you **

I would be lying if I say I wasn't expecting this..... Parker has been after my client list since day one.....even right under my nose he still tries to pull his stunts and use Pearson as his armor And now that am no longer there.... He is now free to do whatever he wants

I feel terrible because I worked so hard to work with that many clients and every one of them counts......

Day and night... I am restless and working just so I could reach this point.

And I know that I was doing it so I never have to depend on anyone ever again but somehow I was doing it so I could be better than him by all standards

Even before the journalist came.... I have been fighting with my subconsciousness about being better than him

Although I had not concluded if I wanted to ever see him until I saw that newspaper..... Everything changed

And the career... I have worked so so hard to build ... I had to drop everything just so I can have and right now I feel like I'm at loose ends here.

I haven't even done anything to to give me an edge here instead am catching cruise and losing my life work in the process

If I pack my bags and leave now... Then all this would be in vain... The last few months would be nothing but a joke..... A draining vacation

This is harder than I ever thought..... And am actually spending more than I'm making here

The warehouse pay peanuts especially when it's not in dollars....
This was never the way I wanted to trash down my life's work
.
Ironic because... He was like the motivation that kept me going every step of the way...
A nightmare is all it takes to try harder the next day and not take No for an answer

I need some time to think .... to figure things out, maybe I didn't think things through carefully before I came down here.... I just have to make sure am not making the same mistakes

I know if I stay indoors...... At the end of the day I will still not come out with a vital conclusion

So I decided to go to the warehouse as usual jobs were packed and alot had to supervised....

I was almost done with day's work when a call came through from Simon

We haven't spoken since lastnight.... Himself and Julie were passed out in the back of the car while Philip and I continued our discussion.

And I was sure he wasn't drunk because he managed to keep the discussion going

I picked the call reluctantly

"Hello "

"Babe.... Aw u doing, I hope you are not angry I haven't called you all day "

"Nah........ I'm not even bothered about it, I know You must have been sleeping the whole day "

"Ahhhh ah.... Well not the whole day but yeah.... I slept alot but I'm actually at work now... Where are you "

"At work too..... I didn't think. You would make it to work today.... Since you are the big boss at work "

"I know right.. But we had alot to do today and I couldn't leave him alone to do all the work "

"Very funny........ Do you have alot to do really "

"Yeah.....we got a major clash on one of our biggest supplies with our rival companies..... I won't exactly say rivals but we are hitting the market together....... It's a long story but we needed to sort this out... We need as many hands as we can get right now.... I really wish you were here right now and I can't take you out because my hands are tight and I am only squeezing out time to make this phone call....... I wish you can come here "

"Me. ... What would I be doing there "

"Anything and everything, if you weren't working... I'd employ you for today "

"Sometimes I think you forget to think before you speak "

He laughed

"It not just sometimes..... Ever Since I met you all I think about is you, so forgive me if I turn out insensitive atimes"

"No I didn't mean it like that.... But I could drop by at your office to help if you are really busy "

"Seriously..... I would love that.... I can't wait to have you here "

"I will see if I can make it there... In the meantime you can send me the location "

"I will do that right away..... Can't wait to see you ...... I love you babe "

I sighed and hang up, I don't know why I agreed to this
But maybe I just wanna be everywhere he is.... There's no time, time is running out and I can't just keep dancing around....

I parked my stuff and left the warehouse with a warning quote to the staff

I keep catching them by surprise and everything I come here.... There's always something crooked happening somehow and I have chosen to ignore it but now no more...
I made it clear to them that that the next person I find involved in this act would be fired.... Be you whoever I don't give a fuck

As I pulled out into the streets.... My phone buzzed and the vibration moved the phone off my laps to the floor........ I bent to quickly pick it and I just took my eyes off the road for a second and I heard screaming...
I looked up immediately and someone was right in front of my car...
I matched the brake hard but I think it was too late

I froze for a second and my heart was pounding hard against my chest... And I hurried out of the car to see the damage that I have made...

A woman was laying on the floor and people were beginning to gather . I bent quickly to see if she was OK

Thank God... She was still breathing
Then I saw her face
I know this face.... I have seen this person before.... But I can't remember where

Oh my God....
It's Tris
