The song six inches by the weekend and Beyoncé played within the acoustic of grace's Car as she stopped at the front of her office building and switched off the car engine
She was wearing a brown coat with a white silk blouse beneath and a pencil glossy trouser and stiletto hills,she walked gently towards the stairs,on getting to the last stair before entering into the building she pulled off her sunglass and as she entered she handed the glass and her coat to Peter
*good morning miss grace*Peter said
Taking the coat from grace's hand
*morning Peter *she replied
*some papers came in this morning signed by a client*peter said
*it's from some mr Anthony *he added
*hmm*
*and also with a money transfer*peter said
*hmm hmm*that was all that came out of grace
*you know your business peter*grace said
Walking towards the elevator that was already opened and she got in.

She walked out from the elevator,pass Katy who got up to follow her into the office
*good morning miss grace*
*morning katy*
Grace replied
As she sat on the couch
*please pass me the files on my desk*
Katy walked towards the desk and packed all the files and letters there and dropped it on the couch beside grace,
*what is it Katy,I don't pay to stare at me*
*oh,yes ma I'm sorry ,it's about that *Katy said
Pointing to the file that grace held in her hands
*it came from an unknown source ,obviously sealed and ..*
*when did it come *grace asked
*it came in this morning *
*how early this morning *grace continued
*as early as seven*Katy replied
Grace raised a brow as she opened the sealed file ,looking up at Katy who was standing there looking at the files in her hands
*thank you Katy *grace said
Loud enough to make Katy move
She brought out the printed paper from the brown enveloped paper,it had an address at the top middle of the paper ,it was a restaurant,the address of a restaurant not just any restaurant but it was'The Cooks'a renowned restaurant,she moved her eyes to read the short message that followed under
*meet me at the restaurant by seven,I'll be waiting *the message was rather quite short,her eyes moved again to see the sender who didn't choose to write any address,it was August,he was inviting her for dinner tonight at the 'The Cooks' she smiled as she shoved the printed paper back into the brown envelope and threw it to the other end of the couch and she picked up another file.

*so who's the new girl*august asked
*who*anthony replied
*I'm not foolish anthony,only a girl makes you smile when you are looking at the screen of your phone,so who's the girl*
*she's really new,true and I won't tell you where I knew her from or anything about her but she's pretty definitely and also blonde*
Anthony said
Getting up from the couch
*let your guards down not like I'm going to steal her or anything*
August said to Anthony who was walking towards the kitchen
*who's your employer anyway*august asked
*he let's you stay home anytime you feel like or what*
*i do shifts you dumbass,I walk as a bartender not a banker*
Anthony replied
*i'd prefer you worked as a banker it'd had been way easier to get money from you*
*did you send the files*august asked
*as early as seven*
Anthony replied
*and*august emphasised
*and we were sent eighty million dollars*
Anthony replied
*it was suppose to be hundred*
August said coldly
*i didn't want it to be so obvious*
*what did hell didn't you want to be obvious*
*that we weren't authentic*
Anthony added
*you should have done as you were told*
August raised his voice
*don't raise your voice at me man
I'm not the one caught up in a fucked up game here*anthony replied
*ok,fine I'm sorry *
August said
*you should be more polite to me,you know*
*because*august asked
*because I'm your god damn friend*
Anthony said
*yeah whatever I have a dinner with grace*
*good luck*
Anthony said
*is that all you gonna say*
August asked
*what else do you want me to say man,

*fuck you anthony*
August said
