Chicago,
10:19 hours.

"Can't believe, Mr. Nelson went bankrupt in a night." A red-head gushed.
"I believed he is the most trusted person, even so many articles respected our boss..." a blonde beside her joined the conversation.
"He used to pay our salaries on time although." Redhead said. Blonde noticed something over red-head's shoulder and she nudged her co-worker to look at.
Both looked at the familiar girl walking through fax and printing office holding some envelopes.

"Hey. Rose." The red-head said sympathetically when the girl neared to them.
"Hi Madeline, hey Susanne." The girl said adjusting her envelopes and shoulder purse on arm.
"How is Mr. Nelson now?" Susanne asked in concerned voice.
"Umm... honestly, he is mess right now. As last night company's stock prices went down ridiculously. And today his wife called me saying she is sending her divorce papers soon. Whereas the police are still finding who bankrupted him leaving only 14 Euros and Dollars in every bank where his account resides." Rose said in low voice and adjusted her thick black glasses over her nose.
"I knew that 28 year old bitch is gold digger and she did such bad thing by running with Jackson. That bitch." Madeline snorted.
"Rose I heard someone stole his mansion too. Is it true?" Susanne asked.
"Umm... Yeah, nothing was stolen except his personal black card and American green card, suprisingly." Rose whispered. Both girls gasped.
"Our salaries?" "He would be on road." Both women said at time. While Rose sadly nodded her head.
"Anyways Rose I got a call from reception that your brother is downstairs for some doctor's appointment. You okay girl?" Madeline asked as they walked to elevator.
"Yeah. It's my dentist appointment. Getting rid of this 6 month old braces." Rose said as she pressed 'L' button.
"Oh. I know the pain darling. Get rid of it soon." Susanne chuckled.
"I am happy of getting a freedom." Rose stated smiling at both girls.

They walked to lobby area chatting about current situation in office and how concerned they are for their boss.
"Please set a date with your brother, Rose." Susanne said drooling over a guy who sat on waiting couch in reception.
"He has a fiancé Susanne." Rose said as she scanned her ID over employee scanning machine.
"Not fair." Madeline stomped her foot whining. Rose laughed walking to her brother.
"Hey where you're taking these files?" Madeline asked pointing the envelope in Rose's arm.
"Dropping it off at Mr. McKinley's office which is on my way. Because I can't come tomorrow as I can't speak." Rose said holding her brother's arm, who was dragging her to exit doors.
"Wish you freedom girl." Susanne shouted as both siblings distanced.
"Bye Luke." Madeline shouted back.
Rose waved in air as automatic doors closed off the building.

"Got the remaining files?" he asked as he started the Blue Jeep Patriot.
She tossed the envelope to him.
"Good Job Isabella." He smirked as they drove off the enterprises.
"No don't." he said as Juilia was about to remove the back wig.
She raised her brow questioningly.

"Remove it later." He said coldly and changed the lanes.
Juilia turned back and looked the needed paper bags are resting on back-seat.
"Yeah I got that. No need to check it." He snorted looking her actions.
"Cause' I ain't gonna trust you Adrian Romano." She said rolling her eyes.
"That you are never gonna in your life baby." He chuckled at her words.
"I can't- wait did you remove your tattoos on your side head or is it my foundation concealing it?" she asked touching his side head.
"Hey don't touch. Only lele can touch me." He silently growled.
"She is your adopted 8-year-old kid Adrian Romano. And I am not gonna snap your neck by touching you. Did you use my foundation which Nate had bought for me? And threw it on my face." She said, whispering the last sentence.
"N-no it's not yours." Adrian stumbled on his words. To which Juilia shook her head.
"Are any of your guys following us?" she asked after few minutes.
"No. Why?" he asked looking at her. She pointed to his side of car mirror.
