I promise you that by the time I get done with you there will be no company left." He stood up, straightened his tie and glanced over at the man whose face had turned pale. "I trust you will do the right thing. Good day, Mr. Milton."
Now that he had taken care of two problems he headed to his office, it was time to check up on Robbie and see how he was doing. ******************************

Ria and Nelly:
"So how are things at work?"she asked, curious as to what has been happening.
"Well, for one thing, Mathew is walking around like he owns the place, though he and Mr. Milton don't seem to be as close as they were before. There is tension and they no longer hang out together."
Ria smiled to herself, she knew the reason. "I guess Mr. Milton found out Mathew slept with his wife."
Nelly narrowed her eyes, but there was a sparkle in them. "You didn't."
"Yes, I did. So how are you and Nile getting along?"
"Not good, we've been fighting a lot lately and I'm going to break it off. I was wondering about you and Ryan Carter. That day he came looking for you he was worried sick and tore out of the office. I'm glad he was there for you."
"He's been great," she answered, thinking back to how he found her and how wonderful he was in taking care of her when she really needed someone.
"Are you in love with him?"
She shakes her head. "No. You know I don't believe in love."
"Ria, everyone believes in love. You really have to open yourself up and give love a chance. Do you want to be alone, no husband, no kids?"
"I'd rather be alone than to suffer heartbreak at the hands of a man. Love never lasts, and then people cheat. I can not give my heart to someone who might end up betraying me. Look at you and Nile. You've been with him for over a year and now you're thinking of breaking up. You told me you loved him."
"I did love him once, but he's not the right one for me. It doesn't mean I give up on love, somewhere there is a man I'm meant to be.
It doesn't mean I give up on love, somewhere there is a man I'm meant to be with."
"Let's not talk about men or love, let's enjoy our lunch before you have to get back to work."
