Danica arrived home in high as well as low spirit today, however, after giving it a few thoughts she decided to well up on the news than dwell on the bad ones.
Arriving home she was not as grumpy as usual, so the maid was surprised to see her in this state. They quickly dispersed to a corner after seeing her coming into the living room.
Danica didn't bother to spend much time in the living room as went upstairs, directly to her room. While she was on her way to the room, she met Samantha on the way, she was coming out of Jordan's room–room–It seems as though she had just finished tucking the little boy to bed.
Upon seeing her, Danica rolled her eyes and proceeded to open the door to her room. Nonetheless, Samantha spoke, bringing her to a halt in her tracks.
“You seemed happy today, what are the special effects, Danica. Did Zayn......”.
“Not now, mom. I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going off to bed. see you tomorrow”
She replied sounding like she was in a haste. Samantha just watched as she slammed the door locked right in her face Then she walked away.
Shortly after she left, Matilda, who was hiding behind the pillars came out with a look of disdain on her face as she watched the woman leave.
“I'm going to find what you two are hiding from everyone!".

The Blue Ridge company was the biggest luxury product group as well as hotel and hospitality management company in the entire city. They had many blue-chip brands under their name for different essential products such as Makeup products, perfume, shoes, bags, accessories, and many more. However, the company ventured into the fashion industry just about two years ago. The Blue ridge company opened a fashion company, but they didn't have a good fashion designer, hence the garment company became their least profitable brand.
While Abroad, Bethany took her time to study everything about the Meyers and all that had changed during these five years what their most pressing issue was and how she can make a grand entry into their lives without anyone being suspicious of her–Boom. she learned that there needed a designer for the fashion brand. What would be a better way than a professional?
With this thought in mind, Bethany came up with this idea.
Bethany was undoubtedly one of the most talented designers in the whole world, with her talent she knew she would be able to impress Zayn with the outcome of the project.
She thought that if she were to take part in the new project 'Oceania' and come up with an impressive design that leaves them satisfied, then they would have no reason to suspect her.
If she succeeded in making the fashion brand profitable and rid it of the least profitable title, she would be able to win their trust, after that no one would dare doubt her loyalty to them.
“If we succeeded in doing of these at once then I guess we would be able to kill four birds with just a stone, isn't it? You'll get a chance to enter the company, and also win Zayn's trust. While I'll be in charge of the deluxe, taking care of Danica for you. And at end of the day, rule out with a victory. It's a win-win situation for us" Erica yelled out calculatingly after a few minutes of silence.
“That's why I need you to look after Deluxe on your own for the meantime. I'll be at the Blue ridge company for a while so I need you to keep things in order and don't make any mistake that might blow off our covers.
Bethany said with a stern expression on her face.
“Don't you worry about anything? Just leave everything to me, and I'll handle it. You would be so surprised by how well I'm going to handle things around here, especially the project with your dearest sister, Danica” Erica winked as she hit her chest with so much confidence that Bethany was forced to entrust her.
this is my chance. I'm going to make Danica pay for what he did to my girlfriend all those years ago.
Erica thought to herself while smiling heartily.
After this conversation, Erica and Bethany quickly went over their plans and designs for the woman's fashion attire. Bethany was hell-bent on shoeing her plans even when Erica had protected and insisted that she was tired.
Yawning heavily. Erica raised her brows and said.“Babes, can't we continue this tomorrow? I'm tired already. I need some sleep to refresh my soul”.
With that, she stood up and left for her room instantly without looking back at Bethany.
After Erica left, Bethany went to take a shower in the bathroom. Then, she crawled up onto her bed and went to sleep.
The next day, personally took Jenna to go look for a new school around the neighborhood–She wanted to make sure that Jenna would not be left home alone when both she and Erica began with the projects.
She had called to confirm her schedule with the blue ridge company and the Secretary had informed her that she was to report to the office at 10:00 am; she thought of using the few hours left to search for a kindergarten for Jenna.
Erica, on the other hand, headed to the Deluxe Group.
Meanwhile, Zayn had just gotten ready for work.
Coming downstairs he hung his jacket on his shoulder as he headed downstairs, ready to storm out of the house without having breakfast. But immediately he stepped down from the stairs and left.
As soon as he took a few steps out of the living room, He heard a loud voice calling out to him and he stopped in his tracks, then turned around to see Ms. Sue standing right behind him with an apron draped around her neck.
She was beaming and her eyes sparkled brightly, attesting to the joy that she felt from within.
Seeing her standing behind him with an apron draped around her neck, Zayn knitted his views and wanted to ask what the matter was, however, Ms. Sue popped the words before he could say anything.
“Young master, are you leaving already? Aren't you going to have breakfast? I mean the breakfast is ready, and all the dishes are your favorite”. Ms. Sue was calm and her eyes sparkled with a glimmer of expectation as she stood still waiting for his reply.
It's been at least three years that Zayn last came home after the incident–When he came to know that Giselle had gone missing after committing a crime and she was later found dead, he refused to go back home as he indulged himself in his work and productivity.
He kept going on different business trips that took him out of the country for at least a year or two, he only came back when Danica gave birth to their son, that he left once again and came back once in a while, but he never spends time at home or even visits the blue ridge manor–He felt suffocated each time he came around since the memories of Giselle kept lingering in his mind like a stubborn leech.
But after his encounter with the woman a few days back, his mind couldn't resist the urge to come back home, and that was what he did; he went home.
He spent the last couple of years
When Ms. Sue welcomed him back home last night, she was pleasantly startled seeing him back after about a year or two that he hadn't stepped a foot into the house.
Because of that, she quickly got up early in the morning and prepared all of his favorite breakfast. She was still busy in the kitchen when he intended to leave for the office.
That's why She ran out without removing her apron first, she clutched her fists patiently waiting for his answers.
Zayn wanted to decline her offer, but seeing the gloomy look of expectation on her face. He decided not to waste the food she had invested so efforts in making– he lowered his head to glare at his wristwatch for a moment. After that, he walked back into the dining area.
Ms.Sue was all smiles seeing him go back into the dining area even after he had left the house.
Beaming happily Ms. Sue ran back to the kitchen.

After searching the entire city for a good kindergarten for Jenna, Bethany finally came to a stop and asked her assistant, Sandra, to take Jenna back to the Deluxe Company, while she proceed to the Blue Ridge company since it was almost time for her to resume office.
She stepped out of the car and hailed down a cab.
