Mr Woods paced back and forth in his study. Contemplating whether to drop the idea of attacking Jeremy Nobody and his company. He could loose a lot. Jeremy was not an easy target. What the hell was he thinking. He was already an old man he should just give up the whole idea.
"I think we should listen and end it while we still can." Mr Woods said to Drake Lockman who was deep in thought.
"Don't tell me you scared, Because that idiot came to give us a warning."
"Don't you understand. That warning was from Jeremy Nobody himself. We can't just ignore it. He is very powerful. I've heard rumours of what he'd done to people who get in his way. And this people aren't ordinary people. This people are rich, influential, popular and very important in our society but he'll will make it look like they didn't even exist. He has people everywhere. So l have all rights to be scared of this man. Because he shouldn't be taken likely. He is very dangerous.
What was l thinking. I shouldn't have let you talk me into this." Mr Woods said as he rubbed his wrinkled forehead. Which got more wrinkles because of the past thirty minutes.
"Shut up old man and listen to me. We are not stopping, we are not backing down. I need both yours and my resources to take him down. And I'm also very dangerous. So you choose. Do you wanna be killed by him or by me."
Mr Woods was silent.
"Good. Now the games begin. You don't have to worry I'll deal with him. Make him wish he was never born. He will suffer horriblely. I'll make sure his hands get tied. With all the power and resources he wouldn't be able to do anything. I'll make him pay for everything he did to me. Make him regret everything."
"What did he do to you." Mr Woods asked.
"That's not any of your business old man."
Mr Woods didn't say a word. He was terribly frustrated. What the hell has he gotten himself
Into. There was no way he could go against Lockman and he feared for his life if he disobeyed Jeremy. He hieved a sigh.
"I just have one question. What plan do you have?." Mr Woods asked.
"I have one question for you to." Drake Lockman replied.
"What.?"
"Who is Melissa Williams."
*********
"Melissa wake up!." Nicky shouted as she used the pillow to hit Melissa again.
"I'm awake... I'm awake." Melissa answered standing up with a yawn.
"You've been sleeping for hours now."
"So?? It's not like l have any place to be. I don't have a job anymore remember." Melissa said as she walked to the bathroom to pee and brush her teeth.
" Well... someone is here to see you so... hurry up." Nicky said and walked out.
"Who!." Melissa shouted but got no reply. She hurried up and quickly walked to the living room. Who would want to see her this morning? She wondered.
But was shocked when she got the answer to her question.
Sitting in her living room was no one other than her boss Sasha Philips well ex boss. Impossible. What the hell was her boss doing here.
Immediately Sasha saw her she stood up from the couch and went over to her.
"Melissa. Oh thank God." Sasha said as she hugged her. What the hell was happening.
Nicky and Sam stood over at the dining area watching everything display.
"Mmm.. Miss Phillips what are you doing here. I thought you were on vacation."
"I was. But something happened and l had to come back."
"Ok... so why are you in my house.?"
"Melissa l heard what happened."
"What do you mean."
"I mean you got thrown out of my studio and..."
"You mean l got fired. By you right, because that's what happened. So l don't understand what your saying."
"Melissa that was an accident and l would love it if you come back to work. I'll even give you a promotion." Sasha Philips said with a nervous smile.
"And why would you that. One minute I'm fired and the next I'm given my job back with a promotion. Unbelievable." Melissa said with a frown.
"Melissa please just take the job back. We need you. Your an amazing artist."
"Thanks but no thanks. I have no idea why your suddenly giving me back my job and l don't wanna know. But the fact is that you can just
fire me again anytime you want because someone asks you to, and I'm not gonna waste my time and potential working for someone like you. Please leave my house. I'm never working for you again."
Melissa said looking right at Sasha Philips. She had waited so..Long to say that. She was not gonna waste anymore potential on a place that didn't deserve her.
But she watched her boss drop to her knees and beg her.
"Melissa please l beg you, come back to work. Please. If you don't my Studio would be demolished. That's all l have. Please." Sasha cried.
Melissa was dumbstruck. She looked at her friends. Nicky and Sam. And they looked right back at her.
"What do you mean by demolished if l don't come back.?"
