The Narrator
" Is this some joke?"
"It isn't. "
"How aren't you aware of what going on between us?"
Folding her hands, helene relaxed her back with a faint smile. "... Then maybe you can do me a favour by filling me in."
"We are currently dating."
"For how long? "
"It been over a month."
And I knew nothing of the sort... Helene died down her anger has it tried increasing rapidly. "Oh wow, congrats."
"So who knows, we might become family soon."
Course that thought...Helene tired hiding her emotions, but it was no use. She already made a fist that was clear but she got rid of it quickly. Keeping her hands together underneath the table.
With nothing left to say between them, Harmonia alighted from her chair. "... I will be on my way.", She announced heading for the exit, her ass jingling from behind as she left.
She has a nice packaging tho, I don't blame Erica for going for her instead of me... Helene examined the finely figured six lady that had walked out of her office.

Director Oliver's Office:
The handsome man doused in his coffee while he was working on his laptop. He had no idea when Harmonica had entered.
She took a seat so long and played with the pencil that laid behind his laptop. He had just finish making some sketches as some papers are clearly seen resting beside his black hp laptop.
She cleared her throat, catching his attention abruptly. He looked over his laptop and sighted the beautiful blue haired lady that was situated in his front.
"Harmonica Devales.", He monologued. "You're back.", speaking with a bit of excitement. "Nice, how was... your family country road trip? did it go well? "
"Well it did, but I had to come back some day, right? ", smiling brightly as she spoke. "What about you? you don't seem like you wanna rest.", she said, resting her elbows on the table.
"Can't rest baby girl... work first, then rest. "
Harmonica chuckled. "This I why you are just fit for the job."
"You think?"
"Yeah. What are you working on tho?"
"A new foundation for the elderlies."
"Oh...", Harmonica recollects memories of the files she saw in Helena's office. "Tho this ones... ", taking one of the paper that was embroidered with the nicely done drawings. "... looks new, you just drew them."
"Correct."
"But harmonica as---"
"Those ones were old drawing as you can see. We went through some thorough examination on the drawings and they didn't meet the expectation of Mr. Daniels."
"Oh ...that reminds me. ", crossing her legs. "He isn't always around, is he?"
"Mr. Daniels is always busy as usual... we rarely don't see eye to eye. Just some video conferences and it over."
"... Who's in charge now?"
"His unruly stepdaughter."
"Helene?"
"Yeah, ever since she gained the iron fist, she's been so mean."
Harmonica sighed, ruffling her blue hair. "I am sure Erica would have done better."
"I agree to disagree with that. "
"Why?!"
"A lot of money have fled out the company's funds, Harmonica. Thank God Mr. Daniels and his step daughter haven't heard anything yet about it, if not... I will be running naked on the roads of New Orleans."
"Yeah right... how does it then involve Erica? "
"...She's the financing director of the Daniel's company yet!"
"Yet what?"
"She has been withdrawing large loans from the company's fund for a very long time now."
"That's a lie... Erica cares less about spending money excessively as you are thinking. She's just a simple girl. "
"Simple? I have long notes of all the transactions she has been doing for a month now. Erica had been transferring them little by little into different accounts before loading everything into her account."
"She recently lost her mom Oliver."
"Recent... ", Oliver shot her pained look.
"Alright... Maybe not recent but what to do, she literally has no hand in this."
"Well. That not my problem.", Oliver replied immersing in his hot cup of coffee.
"How much are we talking about? "
Oliver dropped his mug gently as he was caught in an abrupt laughter that died down shortly, then he looked at her. "Don't tell me you wanna pay up her debt?"
Harmonica hummed a bit. "Am just asking. "
"Let say 1.2million was embezzled. It so sad I should be having her arrested but I gave her 48hours to prove herself, judging she's still one of a kind---- ouch!.", he winched pain as a brute force struck his toe. It was Harmonica, imbuing him pain as she shot the needle of heels into it. "Ouch!!! Ouch!!! Stop it! please. "
Harmonica didn't stop, instead she got more harder. Oliver struggled, only to fall from his chair with a loud thud to the ground. "You gonna have to give her more time than this or you will have yourself to blame."
"Yes! yes!! yes!!!. I promise!!!", uttering in so much pain that Harmonica had immersed him in. "I swear!"
Harmonica finally frees him of her wrath and got up with so much power flowing through her body as she exited his office. No course words were able to flew Oliver's lips, the man kept nursing his damaged toe.
It hurts... he winched nursing the immense pain.

The Daniel's Mansion:
It was very late at this time of the night. Helene and Erica were already home long before the dark skies of the endless night dropped by.
The girls were in their separate bedroom, busy doing one thing or the other. Helene was busy working on some important documents while Erica was busy jotting down some stuff on in a journal of hers.
Erica soon took out her iPad from her locker and began going through the transactions records that were performed by her few months ago. She felt perplexed when she uncovered that a huge some of money such as 1.2million was transfered to her account but for some reason, they were already withdrawn.
I didn't do this, I no I didn't but who did then? who the hell as access to my account other than me?... her head turned upside down trying to unravel the case but she couldn't think of one. Then, her mind diverted back to the conversation she had with Oliver.
'Mr Daniels... Dad, could it be he's behind this? Or am I just hallucinating things here? no ones wants too see my fall downfall as bad as my unruly father, but what if he isn't the one? then who is?
