~at Liam's company~“I really regret the day I reached out to that psycho and started working together,I didn't have a clue that he was this violent,” Linda was talking to herself while looking at herself in the rare view as she applied ointment oil on her chin which was bruised from yesterday.

“Excuse me ma'am,you can't park here because you will be blocking other cars that are coming in,” the security guard knocked on her mirror glass.

“Oh I'm really sorry,let me leave right away,” she apologized while starting the engine.

“No ma'am you don't have to leave,if you're going inside the company,you can proceed and park in the parking lot if you don't mind,” the security guard replied.

“Oh okay then,thanks,” she gave him a wave and drove to the parking lot in the basement.

She put on a coloured wig and shades as a disguise because most of the people in this company knew her and she didn't want to blow her cover.

She stepped out of the car and moved to the cafeteria area to see whether she can get someone to talk to.

She sat there for almost half an hour but she couldn't trace any familiar face and this forced her to stand up from her seat and approached one of the girls that was done eating and heading back to her work station.

“Uhm excuse me miss,” she ran up to her.

“Yes,do I know you?” She asked while scanning Linda to see if she looked familiar.

“Uhm,actually you don't know me but…,” Linda replied.

“Okay,so how may I help you? If I am to ask,” she folded her hands above her chest.

“Well,I would like to ask you something if you don't mind please,” Linda took a few steps closer to her so that their conversation stays on the low.

“What do you want? Please make it quick because I have work to do,” she replied.

“Is your boss around?” Linda asked.

“Yes,of course he is around,” she replied instantly.

“Perfect,how about his girlfriend,did she come back to work?” Linda asked her again.

“Girlfriend?! Whom are you referring to as his girlfriend?” The girl was dumbfounded.

“Please keep your voice down,I mean the girlfriend of your boss,did she report back to work?” Linda paused another question.

“Ma'am listen,I don't mean to be rude but I think you should let me go back to work because I'm not getting you…my boss has a wife not girlfriend because he is married,” she replied.

“Oh so they got married! Dang it,” Linda slapped herself in the face.

“Listen I have been working with my boss for the past four years and my boss has been married so I don't know why you look so surprised like it happened yesterday,” the girl looked at her with a frowned face.

“I'm sorry about that but one more question please,is his wife back at work?” Linda asked.

“Ma'am listen,this is the last time I'm saying this,his wife doesn't work here and we hardly see her,” she replied.

“She doesn't work here?! How come? Where else can she work from? Please tell me the truth,” Linda begged her.

“What's your name and why are you so invested in knowing about my boss and his wife?” The girl took a few steps back because she had started getting scared now.

Linda held her hand and slowly pulled her to the corner.

“Here I have some cash to offer,you're not giving me answers for free…so let's cooperate here,” Linda said in a low tone not to attract attention from the rest of the employees who were passing them by.

“What do you want to know?” She asked in a shaky voice.

“Please calm down, I'm not here to hurt you,can you please take me to Liam's office because he might have changed it over time,” Linda handed her the envelope with cash.

“I don't know what you're talking about Ma'am,” she replied.

“I said,lead me to Liam's office please,” Linda repeated herself.

“I'm not getting you,who's Liam?” She asked.

“Are you playing with me right now? Okay if you need more cash,I'm going to add you but please I need to see his office,” Linda replied.

“Who's Liam? I don't know of any Liam here Ma'am…please I need to get back to work,”she replied while taking a few steps back.

“Isn't your boss’ name Liam? You mean to tell me that he changed his name all of a sudden!? Girl don't play with me,” Linda squeezed her hand.

“Ma'am I'm telling you the truth,my boss’ name is Peterson not Liam,” she replied.

“What?? Peterson?!! No fuckn way…Liam sold his company!?” Linda questioned herself.

“Ma'am we just moved to this location two months back so I think you're referring to the previous owner of this place if am not mistaken,” The girl explained

“Ohh that makes sense now! I guess those fools shifted and I'm here making a fool of myself,” she kicked an empty chair that was next to her.

“Ma'am I need to go,” she cried out.

“Wait,do you know where they shifted to? I mean their new location?” Linda asked while firmly holding her shoulders.

“I don't know Ma'am,I'm just an employee,please let me go back to work because you're hurting me now,” she tried getting out of Linda's grip.

“I'm really sorry I didn't mean to put you in such a condition,please forgive me,” Linda tried to put the girl’down clothes back in position.

“It's okay,can I leave now please?” she rubbed her tears off the cheeks.

“Yes but please don't tell anyone about what happened here and you can keep that envelope as compensation,” Linda begged her.

She let her go and the girl ran back to the office.

“Fuck! I scrolled up once again,Liam and your bitch you won't like it once I get hold of you,” she banged the table out of frustration.

“Now where the fuck do I start from to search for their new location? I really hate this,” She picked up her car keys from the table and moved to the parking lot to meet her car so that she can leave the place because that girl might have told someone already and they come out here looking for her and that is something she wouldn't want to face more so if she involves the police…that would be a different case .
