  "You know you don't have to leave," Andrew said, watching as Rita dragged her box outside from the room.

"You just have to apologize to Krystal for the wrong you did," he added.

"I am not doing that," Rita said.

Krystal came downstairs hearing their conversation. She also watched as Rita packed.

"Andrew, she doesn't have to apologize. I am fine with it."

"She disrespected you and you deserve an apology," Andrew said.

Krystal noticed that both of them were stubborn. She knew there was nothing she could do to convince either of them.

Rita was determined to go and Andrew was determined to get that apology from Rita.

"I hope you're happy now?" Rita whispered as she passed by Krystal.

Rita walked out with her things and Andrew noticed the expression on Krystal's face.

"It's not your fault. She chose what she wanted."

Krystal checked the watch on her hand.

"I am late for work. See you later," she said.

Several minutes later, she got to work. It was another new week to see Collins and she had mixed feelings about it.

She was determined now more than ever to find out what he is hiding and also to try and stay away from him because she didn't like the feelings she was having the last time they were in close contact.

She knew love didn't easily go away that way and she remembered a saying that "you can't never truly stop loving someone".

She walked into her office. Her assistant followed closely behind her.

"Do I have any meetings today?" She asked.

"No."

"Has anyone turned in their reports of last week and how is search for investors going?" She asked dropping her bag on the table and sitting.

"Collins said he had some news regarding investors," she said.

"Tell him to see me in my office and bring reports concerning it."

"Alright."

Collins came to Krystal's office sometime in the afternoon. He had intentionally delayed his going to the office.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in," Krystal said.

He walked into the office and sat on the chair opposite Krystal before she could even say anything.

"Good that you decided to finally show up."

"You're not my boss, so you should try not to command me to do things," he said.

"I am still the lead on this project, I think you should respect that," Krystal said.

"Alright ma," he said sarcastically with a laugh.

"The documents? Also what about the investors?" She asked

He handed her some documents.

"Leadway has agreed to listen to our pitch."

"Isn't that like the biggest investment company in recent times!!" Krystal said excitedly.

"It is. You see how things work when you have me on your team."

"When do we meet them?" She asked.

"They need a pitch by Friday 2pm," he explained.

"Why in the afternoon?"
