Kelly sat on his lap facing him, she put her hand on his face then move it slower down to his neck, she moved her hand so slowly but seductively until her palm reached his chest.
Toby removed the wig she wore which look exactly like Anna's hair, and leaned closer to her ear. "This won't work on me Miss Kelly Brown" he said.
Kelly stick her tongue and sulked hearing him. She got up from his lap and sat down on the seat opposite him.
'Geez, why are you so difficult' she thought as she put her hand on her making a sign like she is thinking of something.
"Because I am not like the other men who would fall for your tricks. C'mon Kelly, I know you for years now, you are like an opened book to me" Toby answered the question in her mind, but Kelly isn't surprised that he could read her mind.
"Whatever" Kelly said making him laugh.
*****
The next day in the morning, Kelly woke up at the sound of her phone ringing.
She took her phone with a groggy eyes to check the caller, she picked it when she saw its Toby.
"It's better be something important, or I swear I will kill you for disturbing my sleep" Kelly said as she picked the call while sulking.
"Is Anna with you" Toby ignored her banter and instead asked her.
"Huh" Kelly got confused at his question. "Why are you asking, I am sleepy, just get to the point" she said in an impatient tone. Kelly hate it when her sleep is disturbed.
"Don't let Anna see the commercial news" Toby said.
"Huh?" Kelly said getting more confuse at his statements.
'Are you crazy, firstly you wake me up from my peaceful sleep, and now you are asking me to keep Anna away from the news's Kelly thought in her mind, she didn't voice it out because she didn't want to start an argument with him. She want him to tell her the problem so she could go back to her sleep.
"Why would I do that, and how am I suppose to do it" she asked. She is getting more impatient as she really want to have more sleep.
She drank a lot yesterday night because she is together with Toby, and she knew he will take care of her in her drunken state. So she let herself drink a lot to release her stress because she knew she is with someone she trust.
"Your work is stolen, and now someone accused Anna of plagiarism online, check the news online" he said.
Toby understand that Kelly is running out of patience, so he decided to tell her everything even though Anna forbade him.
Kelly is the one who designed the project personally, as she is the project manager, so Anna asked him not to tell Kelly, because it will hurt more if she knew that her hard work is stolen by the opposite company. But Toby is more worried for Anna so he decided to tell Kelly.
Kelly checked her phone after she ended the call with Toby to take a look at the situation.
"Breaking news.: The Brown enterprise is accused of plagiarism " Kelly eyes went wide open in shock as she saw the headline.
Sh sat up on the bed as she continue reading the article.
As she read the news, her heart boils with anger. She off the phone as she couldn't take it anymore.
Some of the people are cursing saying that they should be banned, while some think that there is an inside story as the Brown enterprise is a reputable company.
Kelly is so angry that she feel like destroying the room, she is glad that Anna is not in the room as she went downstairs.
"Now I feel like breaking someone's bones" Kelly said while gritting her teeth to suppress her anger. She knew that it is not the right time to release her anger, she has a mission now, which is to stop Anna at all cost from seeing the news, because she knew that Anna will be more hurt and upset if she sees it.
She took deep breath multiple times to suppress her emotions. Once she is calm, she took her phone to text Toby.
Angry bird: 'What will you do now, you know we can't keep her away from the news for long'.
Little Toby: 'I don't know, but try keeping away away from it for now, then we should suppress the news'
Toby replied after seeing her text.
Angry bird: 'kk'.
Kelly took a deep breath again and stood up, she went to the bathroom and take a long cold shower.
She always sleeps a lot after getting drunk, but she knew she couldn't sleep now again because she have to an eye on Anna, so she decided to soak herself in a cold shower to help her hangover.
She closed her eyes in the bathtub. The news just now disturbs her and make her wondering who might steal her work.
She puts a lot of effort in the project because she knew how important it is to Anna, it is the first big contract that will be getting if she succed in gaining the contract with the Cullin's.
She personally design the project, and refuse to get her subordinates handle It for Anna's sake. And it's only her secretary who knew of the project, but she didn't want to doubt her secretary because she has been loyal to her till now.
'I will make sure to make the life of whoever is the culprit miserable' Kelly thought.
She soon finished her bath and brush her teeth. She went downstairs after getting dressed.
She went and join the family for breakfast. After breakfast she asked Anna for her phone and tab.
"What will you do with my phone and tab" Anna asked as she got confused at Kelly's request.
"I forgot to charge mine, and it is out of battery" Kelly replied.
"So?" Anna asked as she didn't get her point.
"I will like to make a call, so I want to borrow your phone obviously" replied Kelly as if it supposed to be something so obvious.
"And what about the tab,what did you need that for" Anna asked again.
"Umm, that .... I want to work with it, I can't use mine since it is out of a battery" Kelly said and smiled.
Anna give her the phone and tab making Kelly sigh. 'step one completed. Mission one accomplished' Kelly thought.
"Wait for me I will come back soon, I will follow you today" Kelly tells Anna as she went upstairs to her father.
"Dad, I want to talk to you" Kelly said as she sat beside her father and put her head on his shoulr and hugged like a spoiled pampered kid.
"I know what you want to say" Frank said and hugged Kelly back. He understood his children so much. From Anna expression and the she act normally he knew that she didn't know about today's news.
Kelly isn't surprised that her father knows what brings her to him.
"You sure is the best father in the world" Kelly said and squeezed herself to him a little bit.
"You can't keep away from her for long" he said again.
"I know" Kelly said and sighed. " But please just play along for now, I will think of something else before she finds out" she said.
"Okay, think of something before tomorrow, and if you didn't find a solution then she have to find out" Frank said in a serious tone. Kelly raised her head and looked at him making a puppy dog face. Frank sighed because he knew that Kelly is good at acting and making faces which no one could resist. Well not only Kelly but Anna as well, the only difference is that Anna didn't always use it to her advantage like Kelly.
"It will get worse if it's delayed, and it will be more difficult to fix it by then" he said trying to come her.
"Okay, you can whatever you want tomorrow, but for now don't make things worse for Anna, please" Kelly pleaded. Frank just nodded.
"I am her father, why will I want my daughter to feel bad" Frank whispered softly after Kelly left.
'she make it sound like I am her enemy or bad wisher' he thought.
