Chapter 23 - Clues

Camila: Where's Mel Tia? You went to get her right.

Tia: She's not in her room. In fact even her stuff is still packed.

Michael: Where did she disappear off to?

Parker: Well...she-

Illunga: Shut up. She must've went to the bathroom.

Tia: No I checked everywhere.

Illunga: Let me just call her.

Stephen: Keep the phone on speaker. I

Ilunga: Hey Mel!

Melanie: What do you want Illunga?

Illunga: Where are you Melanie?

Melanie: First off I know this call is on speaker and I don't need to tell where I am. I am in a place where I should be.

Illunga: And what is this place?

Melanie: Seriously I am busy Illunga don't call me unless its urgent.

Illunga: Ok ok no need get mad. There's a meeting at 6 here and everyone has to come.

Melanie: Sure. I'll be there. Now I have to go.

Dmitri: What did you do this time Stephen?

Stephen: I didn't do anything. Marie will arrive here in half and hour. Tell her to make breakfast and then everybody get back to work.

Camila: Where are you going brother?

Stephen: I have an important meeting. Parker you're coming with me.

Parker: Yes boss.

Mia: God damn you could feel the sexual tension even through the phone.

Ava: I know right.

Melanie: *I still didn't want to go home so I straight went to work... In a hoodie and PJ's. I didn't have much work there today because I already did the stock check 2 days ago. That means I only had to stay in my office look at some documents.*

Stephen: *I don't know what's going through Melanie's mind. Did she really not care that we were worried for her. I know I am hiding a lot from her but I already told her that I would tell everything once it's the right time.*

*Evening*

Stephen: Is everyone here?

Tia: Wait Melanie said she'll be here in 5 minutes.

Stephen: Ok we wait for 5 minutes and then if she doesn't come we'll start the meeting anyway.

Melanie: I am here. Sorry I am late.

Stephen: Let's start. As we already know some people broke into our house recently. There's no question that that was Brittany but there have been footage of many people. Everyone is wearing a mask so we don't really know who they are but we know that they are helping Brittany. It could be one of our Enemy.

Melanie: Can you show us the footage?

Parker: Sure. This man with Brittany seems to be the boss.

Melanie: Wait Wait Rewind and then pause.

Parker: The person has green eyes.

Melanie: Yes and a tattoo oh his shoulder. I recognise it.

Michael: Where did you recognise it from?

Melanie: Let me think.

Tia: Hey Melanie remember your 1 week fake boyfriend in high school he had the same tattoo. What was his name?

Melanie: Derek. Derek 'D Antonio.

Stephen: How are you so sure that its him?

Melanie: His eye colour, his skin tone and his tattoo. It can't be a coincidence.

Stephen: Perfect now we know who both of them are. I've already made a plan I'll tell it you during dinner. I have some important business now. Everyone leave. Melanie you stay.

Melanie What did you want?

Stephen: Who's hoodie are you wearing?

Melanie: Mine.

Stephen: Since when did you start wearing men's cologne.

Melanie: Its none of your buisness.

Stephen: Where were you last night?

Melanie: None. Of. Your. Buisness.

Stephen: You're trying to get on my nerves and its working. You know this table could be used for multiple punishments.

Melanie: Really. But I don't think I am anything to you more than a employee.

Stephen: Oh you're more than a employee for me.

Melanie: Then prove it.

Stephen: What?

Melanie: I said what I said. Prove it to me that you care about me. It's up to you how you want to prove it to me. Till then Sayonara.

Stephen: *Prove it... I definitely know the way to do it but it's not the right time yet.*

Parker: Hey Mel What happened? You look a bit sad today.

Melanie: Its nothing I am just a little tired.

Parker: Fine if you say so. But if there's anything you can talk to me.

Melanie: Thanks.

Tia: Melanie are you in your room?

Melanie: Yes. Come in.

Tia: Where did you go last night Mel?

Melanie: I went to party with some friends.

Tia: And who are those friends?

Melanie: Austin and his boyfriend.

Tia: oh ok.

Melanie: Were you jealous?

Tia: No of course not.

Melanie: Ya ya keep convincing yourself.

Tia: Hey I was just worried.

Melanie: Don't worry I'll be fine.

Tia: Ok now I have to go check up on Lucas.

Melanie: Sure. Tell me first when he wakes up.

Tia: Ok bye.

Melanie: *I don't know what came over me and I went straight to Stephen*

Stephen: What happened?

Melanie: Did you take your medicines yesterday?

Stephen: I did.

Melanie: Good. Now stop reading those documents and get some rest.

Stephen: But its-

Melanie: No buts. You shouldn't take much stress. It'll be bad for your health. Go to bed and I'll bring some soup.

Stephen: Fine let me just keep these documents in their place.

Melanie: Don't worry I'll do it. What's this document about. The A Secret.

Stephen: Put it back it none of your buisness.

Melanie: Ok no need to be so pressed about it.

Stephen: This bed feels cold.

Melanie: Ok I'll turn off the ac

Stephen: Wait no. Join me.

Melanie: No. Remember what I told you earlier.

Stephen: But you're just keeping me company.

Melanie: No. Not unless you tell me what am i to you. *Stephen comes closer to me and pins my hand to the wall* Don't come closer to me.

Stephen: Do I make you nervous Miss Aniston.

Melanie: What makes you think you so?

Stephen: Your deep breath when I'm closer to you, your fast heartbeat. Your lips look very sweet today.

Melanie: Oh do they? Why don't you tell me how sweet they are. *Stephen backs up*

Stephen: Remember what you said. I have to prove myself to you first.
