"Have you heard the latest?" Rebecca eagerly rushed into Kathryn's office, food in hand.
"What news?" Kathryn asked, stretching her aching limbs as she followed Rebecca to the suit nestled in the corner of the office.
Rebecca placed the lunch on the glass dining table and reached for the TV remote, switching to the news channel, where a breaking news report was playing.
Kathryn met Rebecca's gaze and the two took a seat to watch the news.
"Just a few minutes ago, the videos and images of Richard banks raping and sexually molesting multiple women was released online by an anonymous person, we will patch onto our correspondence at the city police station with more details about the case" the news caster said..
"Hello beth, we are live at the city police station and as you can see behind me are citizens of the state protesting massively for the immediate arrest of Richard banks" the correspondent reported..
Just then a police van pulled up and a handcuffed Richard was hurled out of the van by two police officer...
Taking a closer look, he looked like he had been beaten..
Immediately the protesters saw him they rushed towards him but were successfully blocked by other police officers...
"Murderer "
"You don't deserve to live"
"Die you Devil"
This and more were the insult hurled at Richards as he was been taken into the police building..
"Thank you beth, another breaking news reaching us right now is that president davin had just fired the director of their textile subsidiary Mr Patrick banks on the basis of theft an an embezzlement of the company's funds, interestingly Mr Patrick happens to be the father of the just arrested Richard.
Along side him were some other top Executives who got the sack from the ruthless president Davin, while their shares were reportedly seized by the company." the news caster reported...
"Patching on to our correspondent at Zetrov headquarters"....
"Good afternoon beth, we are still waiting for President Davin to give his statement"
Just then Davin came out, behind him was the ever dashing Kelvin and their company COO escorted by their security detail.
"President Davin what can you say about your cousin's arrest"
"President Davin does Mr Patrick dismissal have any thing to do with his son's arrest"
"President banks will all these impact the company's stock"
The reporters throw questions after another at him..
Rising his hands all the reporters stopped talking and waited to hear and collect his statements ...
"Mr Patrick banks as well as other top Executives were dismissed today on the charges of theft and embezzlement of funds belonging to the company and no it had nothing to do with his son's arrest" he said scanning the faces of the reporters in front of him..
" About Richard banks, those horrendous images and videos are more than enough evidence against him and I sincerely hope justice is served and he gets what he deserve..." he said coldly as though talking about a complete stranger.
The netizens watching were particularly happy with his statement..
He was indirectly saying that he expects nothing but swift justice to be served by whomever was overseeing the case..
"And Yes the company's stock is doing very well and on the rise" he gave the last statement before going back into the company..
"Thank you beth" the news caster at the station remarked before she went on to report on the weather forcast..
"Richard banks doesn't deserve to live" Kathryn said with venom after going through the images and videos trending online...
"How can someone be so evil" Kathryn fumed.
"Yeah, quite a contrast to his cousins Davin and Kelvin who were the perfect gentlemen, and I might add, one of the or if not the most gorgeous men I have ever seen" rebecca said smiling cheekily....
Kathryn corked an eyebrow at her,shaking her head...
She couldn't disagree on what rebecca said, kelvin and Davin were two of the most gorgeous men she had ever seen, especially Davin...he was very manly and.....
Catching herself before her mind run anymore wild than it had already did,she tried to focus her mind on other things but the image of Davin's face seemed ached on her memory....
"Are you not feeling well" rebeccas asked concerned.. "Am ok, why?" She asked..
"You look flushed, wait are you blushing....oh my God what are you thinking" she asked winking at her playfully.. "Am not blushing" she refuted...
"How far along are you on the proposal I asked for" kathryn asked changing the topic..
"I will only tell you if you admit that you just thought of Davin" rebecca countered...
She knew Kathryn too well for her own good.. always know when she lied or when she tried to avoid a topic, like right now she knew she was lying..
"I can't deal with you right now" kathryn said and went towards the huge bed...
"I want to rest a bit,wake me when you are ready to leave" she said getting comfortable on the bed..
"Scoot over, I want to rest too" rebecca said removing her heels...
With a thud she jumped on the bed..
"Oh my God, are you like ten" kathryn asked while rebecca burst into a fit of laughter..
The two lay down facing eachother, non said any thing but enjoyed the quietness...
Rebecca raised her left hand and tucked a hair that was threatening to fall over Kathryn's face behind her ear...
Kathryn stared at her for a minutes unblinking..
"Its not too late to leave me and save yourself, I don't ever want you to get hurt...if anything ever happen to you I dont think I will ever forgive myself" kathryn said solemnly..
Rebecca stared back at her in shock and suprise...
"Why would you ever think I will leave you...." she said calmly...
"It was my choice and even if I get hurt in the process, I will never blame you...you are like my baby sister and its my job to protect you" she said said smiling warmly at her..
Hearing what rebecca said made her heart swell with happiness, and unknowingly a tear slid down her eyes...
"Thank you" she said with a shaky voice..
"Shhhh, come here silly" rebecca said and brought her into her warm embrace...
"Don't cry, big sister is here for you" she said cheekily, patting her gently on the back..
"Even though we are practical age mates" Kathryn asked chuckling..
"Even though" rebecca replied smiling
"I love you" kathryn whispered as she slipped into the dream world..
"I love you too baby, sleep now" she said softly..
_______________________________________________
"Yes, ok..send it to my email" kathryn said and cut the call...
Looking at the wall clock, it was already six thirty pm, she cussed...they had slept for two hours...
Looking at rebecca who was sleeping so soundly she didn't have the heart to wake her but they needed to go home..
"Becca" she called out softly..
"Hmm" the sleepy rebecca answered..
"Time to go" she said putting on her shoes..
"Give me a minute" rebecca said pouting..
Looking at her wrinkled blouse in the mirror she decided to take a quick bath and change to a new set of clothes in the wardrobe.
Stripping herself of her work clothes she went inside the bathroom for a quick shower..
Coming out a few minutes later, rebecca was already up putting on a towel..
She raised an eye brow at her amused..
"While I am here, I might as well take a much needed hot shower" rebecca said smugly and walked past kathryn into the bathroom..
"Take you time" kathryn said smiling..
'Ya bet" rebecca shouted from the bathroom..
Few minutes later both ladies were already inside the private elevator taking them straight to the underground packing lot..
"H & M jeweleries wants a collaboration with our company...their executives will formally present their proposal tomorrow" rebecca reported as they walked out of the elevator into the semi deserted parking lot.
Kathryn stopped abruptly on her track, she could sense something was off...
"I'd come out of hiding if I were you" rebecca said a loud enough for the intruders to hear....
Just then four men appeared from the shadows...
"Davina....oh sorry.... you now go by the name Kathryn right?" the leader of the group said smirking..
