SECRET LIFE SECRETS REVEALED

OLD FACES NEW PROBLEMS

November 14, 2024
OFFICE OF ACTING C.E.O Ben Helen.
10:30 AM

Ben has had Zoey as a secretary for a week, and she has done an outstanding job. She answered calls knew how to work all the computer programs, and even stayed late to re-organize the accounts so Ben could get to the ones that needed immediate attention. These accounts had to be settled, right away or they might be lost. Ben was very thankful for Zoey's help, and she truly appreciated the job. Deep down she found Ben foolish, but kind. She felt sorry that he let himself be dooped twice by the Band-Bitch Amy, "Pretty Ricky Underwood" and the Latina Slut Adrian Lee. She wasn't surprised at anything that any of them did, or how they became friends to her they all worked a con on Ben and his Dad, she thought Leo losing his company and Ricky getting what he deserved. She only wished Adrian would get her's in return. Chloe however didn't like the situation she remembered how Ben told her about Zoey and Adrian's rivalry and wondered if Ben was trying to start something. Ben let her know he wasn't trying to start anything only avoid something from getting started. He believed that by having Zoey as his assistant it would show all of them he had changed, and he didn't want them around.

Adrian on the other hand didn't know about Zoey and she was having problems coming to terms with her pregnancy. She tried talking to her mom, but she only insisted that the baby was a blessing and perhaps it would be best if Adrian just forgot about being a lawyer. She knew that was harsh, but Cindy did not want Adrian to get a career, and abandon her kids the way she did her. However Rueben was the exact opposite. He thought Adrian should tell Omar, and continue her plans to go to school while she was pregnant. Deep down he dis-liked Omar for forcing his daughter to do so much before she was ready, and then pretending he actually loved her. He didn't believe it, because everytime he didn't get his way he would break up with Adrian, and only come back if she submitted to him. When he discovered Ben was back, he was elated to know the young man had become everything he knew he would be, but when he discovered how he re-acted with Adrian he was worried that Ben had become who he knew he could be. Adrian had talked with almost everyone she trusted about her situation and decided to talk to the one person she believed could give her some sense of wisdom. She wanted to speak with Ashley, but Ashley and she hadn't spoken since she returned five years ago, and she knew when she saw her Ashley regarded her now as an enemy. She realized that anyone who was a friend of Amy's was someone Ashley had no tolerance for. She wondered if there might be reason's for that.

Ben however had a meeting early that day with non-other than Mr. Molina who had checked into Tamara Blake's background, and with the information Ben obtained from an unknown source was able to discover some very interesting finds, that may prove useful.

Mark Molina: Well, Ben that information you gave me helped out a lot, I hope what I discovered can help your company.

Ben: Thanks again for this Mr. Molina, and it's not my company. But I hope it will help get the company out of this jam, and let me get back home.

Mark Molina: Ben, isn't this your home too? I mean you did grow up here.

Ben: It may have been where I grew up, but this place stopped being my home a long time ago. A home is where you have people that love you, and appreciate you, and make you feel wanted. This place has none of that to me.

Mark Molina: So where is home for you.

Ben: (feels awkward) Mr. Molina I appreciate what you have done for me, but could you just let that one go. I'm trying to keep the life I had here separate from the life I have now.

Mark Molina: Alright Ben if that is how you want it. I just hope you aren't too tough on everyone for what happened. Despite the mistakes he made I'm sure your dad is sorry for everything that happened, and I know from experience he will do what ever it takes to make it up to you.
