"... so what the hell happened?."
Lola sipped her coffee standing in the breakout area of the Leafords office. "This guy just walked in. He was masked, hood up dressed all in black and he just asked if he was Mr Leaford and then he shot him and he got out of there as quickly as he could. I froze Lucia, I couldn't do anything to help him. I was so shocked and scared..." she had tears in her eyes. "I looked like a fucking idiot, I let him just lay there bleeding and everyone else ran around looking after him Lucia and I did absolutely nothing..."
"Lola, it's okay, I would've acted no differently in that situation. I mean who the hell would wanna shoot him. Is there any news on Dolores?"
"I went to the hospital with him and she rolled up in a car with some of their security team, and she looked at me, the look was evil. I was then forced away in no uncertain terms, I had to go. So I have no idea how he is, I just don't know what to do Lucia..."
"Oh shit!." Lucia said as out of the corner of her eye she caught Dolores walking in with a couple of their security towards them. She was dressed in all designer clothes and shoes, she looked smug and confident.
"what are you doing here?" She asked Lucia looking straight at her with disdain.
"Mr Leaford contacted me to tell me that I still have a job... I spoke to him the other day.." she told her. "So I am here to work."
"He is not here and he won't be for the foreseeable, so that puts me in charge... leave these premises now, you no longer work here!." She snapped. She then looked at Lola. "and I hear you were dining with my husband last night..."
"Mrs Leaford he...
"You're dismissed... both of you better get the fuck outta here before I get security to sling you out!.. and don't let me ever see either of you again.."
Lola and Lucia left the office and just looked at each other. Lola was in tears. "I need that job... I need money..."
"You'll get another job, and Lea will be out of the hospital soon, he will want to see you... let's go and get a coffee and try to work this out." Lucia said, reeling from the way that Dolores had spoken to both of them.

"... did you hear! Leaford got shot... some motherfucker walked up to him in the middle of a restaurant, shot him and just walked out...
Hadyn looked Diego, confused. "Is he okay?"
" He's at the hospital, they managed to save his life... But nobody has a fucking clue, who did it... I'm thinking that this may have something to do with Telford... what do you think?"
