Bonnie Stewart is often described as the new biggest CEO of Silverthorne, which would be true if Zion Dawsey wouldn't still be the rightful owner of that title. The two fight for the throne like your typical business rivals, yet they have a big secr...
Although the dinner with Lord Asher and the Dawsey's was amazing, better than she thought even, she couldn't help the many questions that suddenly started invading her mind.
What was the deal between Zion and his mother? Why did Bonnie like to see Zion happy? And what happened to Rosie? Was she still alive? Did she even remember her?
Well, she could find out three of those things now. Just call, Bonnie said but something held her up. What if she was dead? What if she didn't remember her? Those thoughts were haunting enough, if they were to be true... Bonnie could never live with that.
So she decided to not call her, give her the benefit of the doubt. For Bonnie, Rosie was still alive and very much so. She was happy and still the nicest person ever. She would still sneak into the girl's room and bring them candy from the market. She would still sit by the fire and knit. Yes, she would.
Bonnie sighed and then looked down at her desk full of paper and pencils. She still hasn't gotten any ideas for the design of this Gomez phone. Even her employees' drafts didn't make it. If she didn't get an idea soon, that meeting on Wednesday was going to be a disaster.
"Miss Stewart! You need to follow me to the computer room, something is wrong." Her P.A., Andrea suddenly stormed into her office. Bonnie frowned and obviously followed her employee to the computer room upstairs.
"What is the matter?" She asked the middle aged woman. "We have a bug and it's destroying our system from the inside. All the apps are infused and we can't stop it." Andrea explained to her boss, causing Bonnie to panic. What?!
"Miss Stewart! We can't stop it. It's moving like wildfire." Another employee told her as they both finally reached the computer room. Bonnie rushed towards the man and looked over his shoulder, onto the screen of his computer.
"What do we know about it?" She quickly asked, watching the many numbers and letters on the black screen. "It's terrific. The person who made this must really hate us."
"You think a person made this? Especially for us?" Bonnie frowned even deeper. "Yes, it's programmed to destroy our modern system. As if the person knew exactly where everything is." The man told her.
"Oh once I see that bastard." Bonnie thought out loud. "Miss?" The man asked her, not sure if she was talking to him. "Nothing. Try your best to save the most. I will see if-"
Her sentence got cut short as soon as the screen stopped showing all these numbers and letters. What was happening? "What in the world?" The man murmured.
"All the programs are getting back installed. All the apps are getting cleared from the bug itself." The man continued. "But why would someone do that?" She asked him, making him shrug.
"I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it." He shook his head, scoffing as he watched the system working again. Bonnie straightened her back and sighed. What was that? She thought it was Zion at first.
But why would he redo everything after not even an hour? Why would he- Bonnie suddenly gasped. Distraction! She quickly turned around and passed all her employees that decided to come downstairs and watch the show.
"It's over. Please go back to work." She heard Andrea's stern voice behind her. Bonnie sprinted upstairs. Her office was empty. Every other office around her too. Everybody was downstairs watching the bug. Her office was unwatched for at least twenty minutes. Zion could do a lot in only twenty minutes.
"That man!" She growled before taking her purse and storming out of her office. She met Andrea on her way and instructed her to watch over the offices and keep her updated. Then she walked down towards the receptionist.
"Did anyone come in here in the past half hour?" She asked the young man behind the desk. "No, miss." He simply answered, making Bonnie narrow her eyes at him. The man gulped audibly and she quickly softened her features.
"Okay, keep track on who comes in and out, write down every name." She told him and waited for his nod before leaving the building. It took her ten minutes to drive to Dawsey Enterprises.
"Miss Stewart, what a-" Michael stopped talking as soon as he saw her facial expression. Then he realized she was walking out of the boss elevator. She wasn't allowed up here! Without an appointment, Michael thought.
"Miss, you can't just come up here. The boss is having a meeting and-" Just as Michael said that, the door to Zion's office opened and an elder man stepped out, followed by Zion. They shook hands and nodded at each other.
"Michael, walk mister Frank out." Zion ordered his P.A., completely ignoring Bonnie. She glared at his form and watched him turn back around to get into his office. Then his door closed and Michael looked between Bonnie and mister Frank. He looked torn and seemed to analyse which responsibility was more important.
In the end, he decided to bring mister Frank out, knowing damn well his boss saw the angry woman next to him. But decided to ignore her.
"You!" Bonnie snapped as soon as Michael left and she was able to walk into Zion's office without knocking. Zion seemed prepared though, as he was simply sitting behind his desk, arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh, is it time for your monthly supply of semen again?" He asked, mocking her. Bonnie's glare hardened as she closed his door and neared him.
Oh he was so dead!
