Unending Love

Chapter Fifteen

Years Later

Christie's POV

After college mum and dad wanted me to work with Dave in the company. Dad wanted to step down as the CEO for Dave.

But no, I wanted to work in the Smith's Empire. Although the CEO was anonymous I loved the Smith Empire.

Mum vehemently refused. Dad spoke to her but she still refused. It took a lot of pleading for mum to agree.

Dad helped me submit my CV and application letter and I don't know why he didn't let me do it myself.

I winked at Mira and she looked away shyly. I had caught her many times staring at Dave.

Why?

I pulled Mira into my room.

"Its not what you think" she said immediately we entered my room.

"What do I think?" I asked her.

She looked everywhere but me.

"Eyes on me, young lady" I said authoritatively.

She looked at me briefly before looking away. "Mira, you're in love with my brother, arent you?" I asked calmly.

"No" she said looking at her fingers. I scoffed

"Really?" I asked.

She didn't reply. I smiled. I wonder why she keeps denying it when its very obvious.

Dave burst into my room before I could say anything and I groaned.

Dave has a very bad habit of barging into my room without knocking.

"Hi girls" he said walking further into the room.

"Get out" I said

"What?" he asked shocked and confused.

"Now!" I screamed pointing towards the door and he left.

"What was that for?" Mira asked. "You know he doesn't like being yelled at" she added and I sighed.

"Then he should stop entering my room without knocking. I've told him countless times, he just doesn't listen."

Mira stood up and left without saying anything.

I felt bad. I stood up to go and apologize to Dave. He promised to try to knock before entering my room.

I was working in Smith Empire as the Human Resources Manager.

Dad didn't let me drive myself to work, if he didn't drive me then the driver did.

I was enjoying my stay in the Smith Empire. Everyone was nice to me except a lady that hated me for a reason I didn't know.

Dave said she's jealous of my beauty making me smile.

I got home one evening very tired but I didn't see anyone. Strange, cos mum is always at home.

"Mum" I called going up the stairs. I knocked on her room door but there was no response. I entered only to be greeted by an empty room.

I sighed and wanted to walk out but my eyes caught some papers on the bed.

I wanted to walk out but my legs moved me towards the bed. It was as if I was in a trance as I picked the papers and checked them one by one.

For a moment I didn't remember how to breathe. This isn't possible. I'm not seeing right.

My head felt light all of a sudden. I didn't know what happened next but all I could see was total darkness.

What exactly did Christie see? 🤷
