Chapter 35 - What is your motive?

Melissa: AUNT ANDREA RAISED ME! YOU JUST PAID FOR MY SH*T TILL YOU LEFT ME TO HER AFTER A YEAR!

Dylan Davis: Well I used to pay her for her job so in a way, I raised you.

Melissa looked down in frustration, "What do you want from me? Don't you have a young wife and a kid now to call family?"

Dylan Davis: Well, I'm just here to see how my first daughter is living her life.

Melissa: What is your motive?

Dylan Davis gave a menacing smile, "you understand me well. Heard you're close with Matthew now?"

Melissa flinched, 'How did he know?'

Dylan Davis: What? You thought you could hide this from me?

Melissa: What do you want?

Melissa stood firmly yet her voice was shaking from fear.

Dylan Davis: So much love for an illegitimate child.

Melissa: HE IS NOT!

Dylan's face darkened, "You really got some nerves."

Melissa's throat ran dry, she could feel her heart beating fast.

Alex sat on his rolling chair contemplating as he stared at the white ceiling. He pinched between his eyebrows, "if someone is outside please come in instead of creeping me out". No one answered.

Alex: I know you've been standing outside my office for quite a long time. Show yourself now or I'll come to you.

After a few seconds a girl walked in, her cheeks red from embarrassment.

Alex asked coldly, "Who are you?"

: I..

Alex: ?

: I am...I am Isabella Lawrence...

Alex: What were you doing outside my office?

Isabella: I...

Alex noticed she kept pulling her dress nervously, "Calm down, I won't kill you". She couldn't look him in the eyes, "I kind of—"

Someone knocked on the door.

"May I come in Mr.Robinson?"

It was Peter.

Alex: Yes.

Peter walked in and was surprised seeing Isabella here, "Miss everything alright?"

Alex looked at her and noticed her eyes were teary, 'was I too harsh?'

Isabella: Oh no, it's nothing. I was just looking around.

Peter: You can meet Boss now, he is done with the meeting.

Isabella: Oh okay, thank you for letting me know.

She walked out hurriedly, 'It's so embarrassing!!'

Alex kept staring and wondered who she was.

Peter: Mr. Robinson?

Alex: Oh, yes.

Peter: Did something happen?

Alex: No, she was standing outside my office for quite a while so I called her.

Peter understood what might have happened, "She is Isabella Lawrence, older sister of Emilia Love".

Alex: I see.

Peter: Well I'm here to pass you some paperwork which Boss sent and he also asked you to partner with Miss Anderson in Emilia Love's interview.

Alex: Isn't Miss Anderson dealing with it?

Peter: it isn't a simple interview, Miss Love is also gonna promote her new album under our company for which Boss doesn't want to take it lightly.

Alex: I see but Miss Anderson already went to meet Miss Love's manager today.

Peter: Yes Boss called her, she is still there. You might be late if you go there now so it's best if you discuss with her when she gets here.

Alex: Alright.
