"Hi baby." I greet him, then enter my office without waiting for his reply.

I sit on my office chair, as I rest my back on the chair.

Jury enters my office looking back and forth every time.

"Jury what....."

"Shhh." She interrupts me in a low tone, as she walks up to me, then put her mouth close to my ear. "Madam, I need to tell you something really urgent." She whispers into my ears which makes me so suspicious.

"What do you want want to tell me?" I ask in a whispery tone as she looks around.

"I can't tell you here, it's really dangerous." She tells me which makes me get confused.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Meet me outside the company now, I will be waiting for you." She sighs. "And don't tell anyone that you're coming, not even Kelvin." She runs out of my office.

"But." I try to stop her to ask a lot of questions, but too late, she's gone. "Huh people are so weird." I pause. "I should tell Kelvin." I stand up then pause.

No, she said I shouldn't tell anyone, I should go meet her outside.

I sigh, then walk out of my office.

*******

"Jury." I walk up to her, and see her hiding at the back of the car. "What happened to you?" I ask.

"Shhh." She quickly shushs me as I look at her confused.

"I've got a lot of questions to ask, why did you call me here? Why can't you say it in my office? Why shouldn't I tell anyone? Why should....."

"Shhh." She interrupts me. "I want to tell you something really important."

"Okay I'm listening." I also whisper to play the game.

"Its about." She pauses then Itches her head. "Hum." She pause again then continue. "How do I say this?" She looks at her left then faces me looking really nervous.

"What do you want to tell me?" I ask really curious.

"Well, I don't know how to put this." She sighs. "Well, you know." She pauses then gives me a really worried look. "You..."

"Hi Babe." A masculine voice interrupts her as I turn to see Kelvin.

"Oh Kelvin." He walks up to me, then hugs me, he doesn't want to leave me alone, or let go of my grip.

"Um, Kelvin is everything okay?" I ask as he let go of me.

"Yes." He pauses then faces Jury. "Oh I see you're busy." He chuckles. "I'll leave you alone." He walks away as I turn to look at Jury.

"So continue." I tell her.

"Um, I think I should take my leave right now." She tells me sounding really nervous.

"But you said you wanted to tell me something." I remind her as she begins to sweat, then look nervous, and smiling nervous.

"Um it's not important." She chuckles which is obviously a nervous one.

"But you said it was important." I remind her getting suspicious.

"Did I say so?" She asks then laughs nervously. "I didn't mean it, bye." She begins to run to the direction of the company.

"Jury." I try to stop her, but she doesn't.

Something's going on with that girl, and I need to find out.

Ariana p.o.v

---------------------

"Dad." I call his name, and see him sitting on the couch, crossing her legs reading newspaper.

"Yes Ariana." He faces me, then drop the newspaper on the center table. "Where are you going?" He asks probably noticing my make up, and the pink shirt, and black mini skirt.

"I'm going to meet Max." I reply him as he stands up.

"So who's going to stay with me?" He asks as I sigh.

"That's why I say we should have a maid." I pause then walk up to him as I continue. "Soon Kelvin will get married, and live in his house with his wife, then I'll get married, and go to my husband's house, so who'll take care of you?" I ask as he sighs.

"Okay, two days before your marriage, I'll get a maid." He tells me as I smile.

"That's a great idea." I chuckle.

"But don't meet Max yet." He tells me as I give him a questioning look. "First prepare spaghetti for me." He tells me as I chuckle.

"Okay dad, be right back." I walk up to the kitchen.

Josie p.o.v

---------------------

I stand up from the couch, waiting for Anna.

It's been six hours since Anna left and she hasn't come back. I sigh as the door opens, and I see Anna with her red bag, which suits her long black gown.

"Anna." I call her name. "Where have you been?" I ask as she ignores me, then sit on the couch. "Did you get the job?" I ask, as she takes the TV remote, then turn on the channel to an American movie. "Why are you ignoring me?" I ask, then sit close to her. "I'm really sorry for slapping you, I was not in my right senses." I apologize as she stands up then enter the room leaving her bag on the couch as I sigh.

'Oh, oh, oh, you're my life ooooo, I love you oooooo.' Her phone begins to ring, as I open her purse, then take the phone, and answer it.

"Hello, who's this?" I ask.

"Hello, is this Anna." A masculine voice answers.

"No, but this is her best friend." I tell the person as Anna comes out and drags the phone from my hand.

"Never answer my phone calls." She finally talk to me, but in a rude manner.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I apologize as she enters the room.

Who could be the guy calling her?.

*********

Anna comes out of the room.

"Who called?" I ask as she faces me.

"Julius." She tells me as I stand up, then stay at her front.

"Who's Julius?" I ask as she walks up to the couch.

"My boyfriend." She replies as I smile.

"You are in love with somebody." I sit close to her, then hold her hand. "I'm so happy for you." I smile, but she doesn't look at me. "I'm sorry." I apologize and give her a puppy eye. "Please forgive me." I say like a baby as she smiles.

"Okay I forgive you." She tells me as I smile.

"Thank you so much." I hug now. "Now tell me about this Julius guy you call boyfriend." I chuckle.

"Well, he's my boss." She tells me.

"You got the job." I laughs as she nods.

"Well, he proposed to me last week, we've been dating for a week." She tells me as I chuckle.

"So he proposed last week." I chuckle. "Now who's got a boyfriend." I tease her as she smiles.

"Leave me alone." She stands up.

"Okay okay." I chuckle again. "I won't tease you." I lie as she walks forward.

"I'll go prepare what we'll eat." She walks away.

So now, she's got a boyfriend, I'm the one next, Kelvin, I'm coming for you, Babe, be prepared for failure. I smirk, then fold my hand. Be really prepared.

"What would you like to eat?" Anna's voice snaps me from my thought as I face where her voice is coming from.

"Clam chowders." I reply her then chuckle.

"Okay."

Babe p.o.v

--------------------

I stand up from the chair, and continue walking back and forth, looking at the floor.

What could Jury have wanted to tell me? Why did she not tell me? What's going on in her head? Why does she behave weird? I hope I'm not in trouble, why did she even not tell me, what can I do to find out what it is she wanted to tell me? Should I ask her? No, that might not work, wait it might work, maybe I should ask her. I sigh.

What's wrong with her? Maybe I should ask Kelvin, No that'll also be a bad idea, she said I shouldn't tell anyone, not even my boyfriend, and why was she acting nervous? Could she have something related to my life? Am I in trouble? Does she need my help? Do I need her help? Should I give her money? Should I? I don't know what to do.

I get confused over all the questions I keep asking myself, maybe I should forget everything, and continue my life, I can't forget everywhere, this is something I need to find solution to, and I think I know where to get it from, I don't know where to get it from. What.....

"Babe!" Kelvin's voice snaps me out of my thought as I face him.

"Kelvin." I smile a little 

"I've been calling your name since, and you didn't even hear me." He holds my hand. "What were you thinking about?" He asks as I shake my head, then sigh.

"Nothing." I lie to him as he holds my waist. 

"You can't lie to me." He tells me.

"Okay okay, I'll tell you." I sigh. "I was thinking about wat to do after work." I lie to him, then kiss him to avoid him from asking any question, as he holds my waist really tight. "Okay bye, I need to work." I tell him after noticing the files he dropped on the table. He let's go of me, then smile.

"I love you boo boo bare." He kisses my hand. "Go work." He smiles as I chuckle.
