*Knock knock*
Rustling sounded in the room as the knock landed before a voice was now heard.
"You can come in now" A deep voice sounded.
"Oh, it's just you, Sis" Robert said as he sighed in relief.
Robert looked just like his Dad, but he didn't share the blue eyes his sister shared with his mom. He was always playing video games, locked up in his room, only coming out on cases of emergency like dinner, lunch or breakfast.
Rose looked at her younger brother, whose hair was a mess. He went ahead to take out the game pad from underneath the pillow.
"And what if it wasn't me?" Rose asked Robert who was booting the system up.
"That's why I have some measures in place" Robert said as he winked at his sister.
Rose looked beside him, and saw the book placed beside him and she immediately understood the kind of "measures" he was talking about.
"When will you really stop playing all these games and be serious for once? And when last did you clean your room? It smells."
"And when did you start talking like dad?"
Robert said his eyes not living the game for even a second.
"Whatever, you can do whatever you want to do"
"Thank you" Robert said as he looked at Rose and bowed slightly in jest.
Rose looked at Robert deeply before saying, "I think Mom and Dad are keeping something very important from us"
Robert hands paused for just a second before continuing his game, this was not noticed by Rose.
"So..." Robert said before continuing, "It's their life, If they wanna keep secrets they are free to. I mean who doesn't have secrets"
"We are family, ok? There is not supposed to be secrets between us" Rose said as she folded her arms together.
"Oh... I see. Like how it's not a secret that you are crushing on some..."
Robert could not continue his words as his mouth was blocked by Rose who immediately looked at the door.
"Mmm mmm mmm" Robert tried to say something.
"How did you know I have a crush on someone?" Rose asked.
"Mmm mmm mmm mm"
"Ok ok... I'll let go of my hand if only you promise to keep your voice down. Do you promise?" Rose asked as Robert nodded.
Rose slowly released her has from Robert's mouth, sxared that he might go back on his words.
"Finally" Robert said
"How did you know?" Rose asked again.
"Oh you mean about your 'Big brother Damien's?"
Rose gasped. She has never told anyone about Damien before, so he did this brat know?
Rose eyed Robert suspiciously. "Don't look at me like that, it was already quite obvious that you were in love... A little here and there is enough to find out who" Robert said.
"I'll believe you this time" Rose said to Robert.
"Anyways, there no way I'm getting married to someone apart from Damien" Rose said confidently.
"Indeed, if you say so" Robert said.
"What do you mean by that?" Rose inquired.
"Nothing Nothing... now can you excuse me? Your presence is disturbing me"
"I'm disturbing you?" Rose puffed angrily, before saying, "I'll show you what disturbance is"
Before Robert could say Thomas Edison, Rose had already switched off his system.
"Nooooo... I was just about to beat that guy" Robert wailed.
Rose looked at Robert and blew a raspberry at him and skipped out, humming a song.
"Sometimes I wonder who's the elder one out of the two of us" Robert said as he moved to switch on the power. His system came back on, Robert clicked a few button, this time it wasn't a online game that popped up but series of numbers and alphabets, blue in color.
Robert clicked on a few more buttons and said, "I wonder why I can't find the information on this Damien guy before he was eleven years old."
"Well, he seems alright sha. I guess my sister can play with him for a while... hehe. Background wise, he's not worthy." Robert concluded.
Perhaps if Robert had known that what he said today would put him in trouble one day, he probably would not have said it.
"Now, about Mom and Dad..." Robert said as he continued typing away.
"Not worthy huh? I'll be the judge of that"
A man who was backing his own system said, his face couldn't be seen.

"Damien, good morning"
"Mmm"
Damien thought a little before saying, "We are not that close, call me Mr." Damien said.
Cass gritted her teeth together and said, "Mr. Damien, Mr. Dean asked us to submit the project on or before today"
"Ok, I'll work on it and get back to you" Damien said.
"Mr. Damien, Mr. Dean instructed that we do it together"
Damien fell into deep thought, 'But she isn't around yet, what if she comes and doesn't meet me here'.
If Cass could hear what was going through Damien's mind, she would probably cough up blood.
"Big brother Damien"
Damien's head immediately turned in the direction of the voice as if it were a reflex.
He waited for her to come up to him.
"Big brother Damien, good morning. Did you sleep well?" Rise asked.
"Hmm"
"How do I look this morning?" Rose asked as she turned around.
Rose was dressed quite professional today, she wore a black pencil skirt with a light blue top match with black heels and she packed her hair to a bun.
'Stunning' That was what Damien thought but he ended up saying,
"Nice"
Rose on hearing this smiled and continued to gaze at Damien
*Cough*
Damien looked up at Cass and frowned, "Why are you still here?"
Cass clenched her fists tightly and thought, 'How dare they ignore me like I'm some wallpaper? It's all because of this girl. If not for her, I'm sure I could get Damien to fall in love with me. I can't wait any longer, this b*tch must leave'
"About the project, remember?" Cass turned to face Damien.
"Oh..." Damien looked at Rose and thought, 'She's come now, so that's means it's ok for me to leave'
"Let's go" Damien said to Cass, he then looked at Rose and said, "I'll be back in a few. Project."Damien said as he pointed to Cass.
"Ok"Rose said dejectedly as she bowed her head. She thought,'It's all the fault of this lady. Playing with you was interesting but now, I'm angry'.
Before Rose could go on in her mind, she felt something on her head. She looked up and saw that it was Damien's hand. She froze.
Damien looked at her and thought, 'Cute'
"Don't worry, won't take long. Take this key." Rose looked down at his hand, it was the key to his office.
"Make yourself comfortable. I'll be back" Damien said as he rubbed his hand on her head again.
'So soft, I can't resist' Damien thought.
"Ok" Rose said.
Through all this, the ignored Cass just stood right were she was, watching what was going on, meanwhile a deep red liquid could be seen rolling out of her fist.
Damien turned and walked in the direction of the conference room.
'I will destroy you. I promise' Cass thought.
Rose also looked at Cass and thought, 'Looks like it's time to have you transferred'.
Damien paused in his steps and said, "I thought you said we had work to do" After saying this, he walked into the conference room without looking back.
Cass immediately went after him while Rose looked at the direction where both Damien and Cass went and thought, 'Behind closed doors'
Rose shaked off the thought and said, "No, I should trust him" and then she went towards the direction of Damien's office.
"What should I do to keep myself entertained before Big brother Damien gets back?" Rose thought out loud.
**********
Meanwhile, In Dean's innermost office.
Two bodies, a middle aged man and a younger woman could be seen intertwined together on the bed with a blanket covering them both.
These two people were Dean and Ms. Clover, yes Ms. Clover... Mr. Lexus secretary.
"You need to do something about that Damien he starting to get the attention of the CEO" Clover said.
"Don't worry, I'm cutting him off as soon as he finishes this project for me"
"I hope you know that it must not be traceable to us"Ms. Clover said.
"Yes, I know. Infact, I borrowed the hands of a certain someone. I'm sure she's already incited enough"
"That's good but..." Ms. Clover looked at Dean who gulped and continued, "You are going to be punished now. Do you know why?"
Dean shaked his head.
"Words" Ms. Clover said domineeringly.
"No Master" Dean said.
"You dared to think about and mention another girls name in my presence. Tell me shouldn't you be punished?".
"I should indeed be punished, Master" Dean said silently anticipating what's going to happen next.
Ms. Clover dragged Dean closer and pulled the blanket over their heads.
