The Truth

Leigh-Ann

Jacob isn't there when I wake up. I only have a few hours before I have to be at the office.

  I shower in my bathroom and get dressed in a simple formal skirt that reaches just above my knee with a plain white blouse.

I go downstairs to find Amelia just serving breakfast.

"Good morning Amelia"

"Good morning Mrs Dovine"

"I've told you many times that you can call me Leigh or Anny"

She blushes a bit but nods.

"Alright Anny"

I sit down and start munching on my breakfast.

"Have you seen Jacob anywhere?"

"Yes. Mr Dovine has already left for work. He didn't have breakfast though"

"Oh alright thank you Amelia" I smile politely at her as she leaves.

My appetite has suddenly vanished so I push my plate aside and stand up.

He was supposed to drive me to work but he's already left.

Did I push him away last night with the way I acted?

I sigh and grab my handbag and car keys and exit the house.

I see Tom, who surprisingly I remembered, approach me from the staff house.

"Good morning ma'am. Mr Dovine asked me to drive you to work"

I'm surprised but I don't say anythink but just nod slightly and enter the car.

At least he didn't leave you to drive by yourself.

Did he really want me last night or was what he did some act of obligation?

I ponder over and over again.

We arrive at Dark Enterprises and I thank Tom before I leave.

It's been a stressful day at work and I'm just right about to call it a day at 3pm.

"Come in" I say when there's a knock on the door.

My P.A, Beatrice,  enters with a file in her hand.

"Mrs Dovine, your meeting at Dovine Internationals is in about twenty minutes."

I nod slowly at her.

Wait this has happened before.

I have a sense of déjà vu as I stare at her.

"Come in" I say when there's a knock on the door.

My P.A walks in with a file in her hand. "Mrs Dovine. Your meeting at Dovine Internationals is in thirty minutes." She informs me and I nod at her.

"Ma'am, ma'am are you okay?" The voice is distant but slowly sounds nearer as I come to.

"Yeah, I-I I'm fine"

Something happened that day. I just can't remember what.

She leaves with concern still in her eyes.

I take in a few breaths and stand up preparing to leave.

The car starts immediately I get in.

Putting on a bit of blush and lip gloss I exit the car when we finally reach the tall buildings of Dovine Internationals.
