Chapter 8

• Fallon closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. How the hell did this person get her number? Not even her business number but her personal phone number. She slapped her forehead, he was a businessman like her also, he could get whatever he wanted at the snap of his fingers.
• “I hope Mr Williams knows this is a breach in privacy. And I remember pretty well I told you not to contact me anymore. If this is about anything that happened, I suggest..” Fallon started but was cut off by Chris.
• “What happened? Did something happen yesterday? You should enlighten me more empress, it seems like I'm missing something in that area.” she heard him say from the phone.
• Fallon clenched her jaws, she was saying too much than she needs to say to this stupid idiot. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a movement of someone sneaking into her office.
• “I don't have your time,” she said before cutting the phone.
• She started at her office, looking like a young lady holding a white file she had not noticed in the office walk-in. She went straight to her drawer, putting the white file in it before going through some other files. Fallon smiled at the screen.
• “Well, well, well. Look who we have here.” she mumbled to herself.
• She picked up her phone, pressing some strings of numbers before dialing it. The call connected at the other side, a baritone voice sounding through the phone.
• “Is it time?” the person said.
• “Go in now. I'll send the person to you in case she escapes. Do not let her go.” Fallon said her face was devoid of all emotions.
• The connection dropped from the other side with gallon placing her phone back on the table. She watched as the police squad entered the office, surprising everyone in the office. She stared at the girl in her office, she was still searching through some files, not hearing anything that was happening outside. 
• “3..” Fallon counted out.
• She was rubbing her palms against each other, waiting patiently for the officers to burst in.
• “2..” she added.
• They were near already. She looked at the lady who had seen what she was looking for and was now on her way outside. She opened her mouth to count one when her phone rang. The police officer turned the doorknob before the lady touched it, making her freeze with the document in her hands.
• Fallon picked her phone, answering the call and not bothering to check who was calling.
• “Empress, I have tried to concentrate on my work but I can’t just get my mind off what you said. Did something really happen between us.” she heard Chris say from the other side.
• She shook her head slowly at hearing his voice, she should have checked the call without picking it. Fallon moved away from the computer, rolling to the edge of her bed. 
• “It seems like you have a death wish Mr Williams.” Fallon said slowly to the phone.
• “Anything for you, empress.” She heardChris say.
• Fallon Closed her eyes, he was getting on her nerves already, interrupting her countdown. She felt like seeing him and beating him to a pulp.
• “Mr Williams,I’m sure we don’t have any business relations. If we do have, contact my personal assistant. She’ll provide the details to you. Have a nice day.” Fiona said before cutting the phone.

• Chris chuckled as she dropped the phone. He leaned back to his chair, swirling it around. There was something about her that made him act like that with her. He chuckled to himself, swirling his phone to himself. She made everything look so connected, both meek and fierce at the same time. He knew how much he had spent just to get her personal number. Everything about her just seemed different to him. It was like everyone was willing to spend more on her case even if it was good or bad.
• The voice of an employer brought him out of his reverie, coming back to the real world.
• “Sir, I’ve just brought the correction for the file you asked me to bring back. Would you want to check again?” The employee said fearfully to Chris.
• Chris pressing his mouth together, his expression now cold and dangerous faced the employee.
• “Are you sure if I go through it, I won't find any mistakes in it again?” He said dangerously to the employee.
• The employee swallowed nervously, now scared to meet Chris's eyes. What if there was a mistake in it now? He could lose his job. 
• “I..wou..would...go..to..recheck it Sir.” the employer said.
• Chris shook his head slowly, leaning closely to the table.
• “I have told you not to always disturb me. Do your work carefully, make sure it is devoid of all errors before coming here to meet me. Would you get your stupid self out!” Chris shouted at the employer.
• The man scrambled away, not waiting to say thank you. Chris hissed at his running figure, if he were like them how would he be able to grow the empire like he has done. They just knew how to spoil his mood. His mind went back to Fallon, a cute smile going to his face. The smoke stayed on his face until it grew wider. There was an evil glint on his face.
• “I’m coming for you empress.” He mumbled to the room.
