Last night was the worst day of my life. Maybe what Brenda said was true after all. Derrick was the mole. I really liked him too. He was a good access to the company and he was a good boyfriend.

At least that is what I thought. I'm so heartbroken. He was dating me and my sister. How could he do that to me? To us? Now we arguing everyday. It's hard working with her and coming home.

We barely speak. We use to ride together now we drive separate cars. Raven wanted to fire Derrick but I said no. We need him and his experience. I can't lie it's hard seeing him everyday too.

And knowing my dad tried to sabotage our business through him was a jab in my chest. I knew they were nasty but to got this far. I wouldn't be surprised if he has something else up his sleeve.

I just came from a court hearing with a client who is trying to get custody of her kids. She had a bad marriage and the husband lied on her and took the kids.

It's so sad. She really love her kids and the judge is not giving her the kids without supervised visits for a hour. I know that got to be hard.

He planted drugs in her home and said she was dealing and causing harm to the kids. Now she has to prove that she can provide for her kids.

I told her I will do all I can to get her kids back and get justice for her. It's a challenge but I can handle it. I went through some more files and there was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said still looking in the files.

"Hey Amber you got a second?" Derrick said.

I looked up and looked at Derrick straight in the face. I tried not to mix business with pleasure but it was really hard. I wanted to slap the hell out of  him.

"What is it?"

He came in and closed the door behind him. He said in front of me and sighed before he talked.

"Listen. I know things got way out of hand but I'm sorry. I miss you and don't want to be on the bad side of you. I appreciate you not firing me. And I was wondering if I can start over?"

"Really Derrick? You had the nerve to ask me that after all you did?"

"I know it's soon but I can't sleep. I need you. Not just as my boss but as my lover. Yes Raven was special but I connect with you. Just give me a chance to prove this to you."

"I don't know about that."

"I get it. And I understand if you are still hesitate right now. But honestly I'm not a bad guy. I just let my emotions get carried away. I was thinking with the wrong head."

I didn't respond to him. I just looked at him as I tapped my pen on my desk.

"Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?"
