Amanda brought out the packet of cookies she got from the local market, poured it into a clean bowl. Went to the fridge and took out a bottle of apple juice and one bottle water. She placed everything on a clean tray  and she carefully carried it out of the kitchen.

“HI.” Drake acknowledged Amanda’s guest while he hurried to leave the house. But before he could reach the door, he heard his sister ask,

“Where are you going?” She asked with the tray of snacks in her hand.

“To Henry's.” He replied briefly and avoiding the smirk on Amanda's face.

“You’ve been going there too often these days. Makes me wonder if you are going there to see Henry or his sister, Bianca.” She said smiling raising one eye brow at the now embarrassed Nelson.

“Whatever, I’ll be back before Dinner!” He said, heading towards the door.

“Say hi to Bianca’s Mom for me!” She yelled back laughing as she heard him slam the door behind him.

“He’s very Cute.” Nelson complimented her little brother.

“He mustn’t hear you say such.” She warned, smiling “Hear is your water.”

“Thank you.” Nelson smiled gratefully, opening the bottle and drinking almost all of it content.

He dropped the bottle and reached to his pocket and brought out the brown, Leather Watch, and handed it over to Amanda “Mr. Wright wanted me to give this to you.”

This is the real one.” She said turning the back of the watch where she noticed the little scratch she made on it.

“Yes and he hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him.” Nelson said further.

Amanda dropped the wrist watch on the Table beside the tray “He publicly calling me an heroine doesn’t make things any different.” Her countenance fell sad as she spoke.

“He knows that, even Junior does too.” He carefully included Junior's name while watching or her reaction. Adjusting his position so, he could look straight at her as he spoke. “I was the one who found out about the device implanted in your Watch. I confronted Junior, thinking he knew about it but he didn’t. Not until that day when his father told him. We wanted to tell you but we thought it was best if you don’t know.” He paused.

“Of course, look at where that decision got me. Nelson, I can’t trust him with my safety.” She voiced her fears.

“They had your safety in mind Amanda, that’s why they did what they did. The business world is a lot different from the entertaining world, I guess. In the business world high risk are taken." He explained.

“And my life was gambled.” She pointed out.

“No, that was not supposed to happen. We underestimated Tony. Mr. Wright risked losing his company, the moment he listened to his son not to fire you. Tony wanted you gone from the beginning but you were to stubborn to let that happen, Junior knew that, he saw that you really wanted to stay and he didn’t want to disappoint you by letting you go. The last girl who had your job was fired because Tony had her in a loop. That was the only way to free her.”
