*I immediately called everyone to the hospital* Camila: What happened? Why did you call us here?
Michael: Yea what happened?
Melanie: Well umm-
Stephen: We forgot Lucas at the ball and we found him wasted in an alley also we might as well think he has been drugged.
Ava: What?
Melanie: Yea it's true.
Tia: Your suspicions were true he has been drugged.
*Stephen started feeling dizzy*
Melanie: Stephan are you ok?
Stephen: I-I feel diz-
Melanie: STEPHEN ARE YOU OK? PLEASE WAKE UP! WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM SUDDENLY?
Tia: Let's take him to my office.
*A few moments later*
Tia: The report shows he has been drugged too Melanie: What? No one wonder he was so tired so early.
Tia: His health is a little low because he had severe fever just a few weeks ago and now he is drugged which is seriously affecting his health. So it'll be better if he takes rest for a 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬.
Mia: But who's gonna handle all the work? We have shipments coming in 3 days.
Ava: Seriously you're thinking about that right now.
Melanie: I'll handle all his work, shipments and everything.
Ava: Are you sure because its gonna be a lot to handle because neither Lucas nor Stephen would be able to help.
Dmitri: She's not alone.
Camilla: Dmitri, Declan and Diana you're here. How did you know we were here?
Dmitri: When we reached home there was no one there except a dog it had a note on his collar when we read it we came to know that you all were in the hospital.
Camila: Who wrote that note?
Illunga: I wrote that as y'all forgot that they were arriving today. Dmitri you said Diana is gonna come with you guys this time, where is she?
Declan: She was very exhausted from the long flight so she is asleep at home.
Michael: I think y'all should go home and get some sleep it's already 3 in the morning and I'll stay here with Stephen.
Melanie: I am staying here too.
Camila: Yea me too
Michael: We all can't stay here. Melanie, Camilla try to understand.
Melanie: I. DON'T. CARE. I AM STAYING HERE BY STEPHEN'S SIDE
Camila: If Mel is here then I don't have anything to worry about just keep me updated.
Melanie: Sure
Michael: Fine but only Mel and I are staying here with some bodyguards.
*Melanie's POV*
I just couldn't bare the thought of staying away from Stephen in such a state. I can't believe someone would try to drug him but Lucas being drugged doesn't sit right with me. I need to to set up an urgent meeting tomorrow.
*The Next Day*
Melanie: Dmitri Can you set up an urgent meeting in the afternoon only the important people are allowed to come.
Dmitri: Sure I'll do that but can I know the reason why is there an urgent meeting?
Melanie: You'll know that soon.
*Melanie's POV*
Stephen I hope you wake up soon you can't leave me alone here.
*Afternoon*
Camila: Why did you call this meeting? Is Stephen ok?
Melanie: Yes he is better than before but this meeting is about something else. You all noticed that both Lucas and Stephen were drugged but there are two scenarios in each case. And I think the enemy's plan might have succeeded.
Ava: What do you mean?
Melanie: You see their plan might be to drug only Stephen but when their plan wasn't working they thought to drug Lucas because Lucas is Stephen's right hand and he will surely know all the information but one thing I don't understand is they could've killed Lucas or held him captive but instead they dumped in a silent alley.
Michael: Good point Melanie. I'll check the security footage of that area.
Melanie: Great and when are the shipments arriving?
Mia: They are arriving tomorrow.
Melanie: Does Stephen mostly go by himself for the shipments?
Mia: No he sends any two of us and other people.
Melanie: Hmm. Ok Tomorrow four of us are are going to get shipments and we are taking more people with us.
Illunga: So you think there might be an attack?Melanie: Yes I am 80% sure that there will be attack. Tomorrow Me, Illunga, Dmitri and Declan are going to get the shipments.
Ava: Do you want to us to come with you?
Melanie: No. Camila you'll keep check of all the cameras in the area and rest of you are going to stay with Stephen because this might be a trap.
Parker: Great Plan.
Melanie: Now I'll leave for the hospital. Ava do me a favour and bring important documents to the hospital which are to be signed.
Ava: But you can't sign those documents unless you are the boss or the boss's wife.
Melanie: I know that. I want to go over the documents so whenever Stephen gets well, he has less work to do.
Ava: Fine.
Melanie: Also I'll like to meet Diana. Where is she?
Diana: Did someone call me?
Melanie: Hello Diana, Nice to meet you. I am Melanie, Melanie Aniston.
Diana: OMG! You're the beauty Stephen chose. You're really beautiful in real life too.
Melanie: Thank you. You're pretty too. I would like to spend some time with you once the situation settles a little.
Diana: I would love that.
Melanie: Let's get going. We have a lot of work tomorrow.
*Bonus*
Unknown: Our plan almost failed because of you.
Unknown Woman: It was not my fault. You should be thanking me that we even got that close to Stephen.
Unknown Man: Yea Yea sure. Now let's just stop talking and get ready for the plan that we are executing tomorrow.
Unknown Woman: I have a demand.
Unknown Man: What do you want now I am already giving you one million dollars.
Unknown Woman: I want all the information about that girl who was with Stephen that night.
Unknown Man: That's easy.
Unknown Woman: Stephen Baby I'm coming for you.
