Tve got everything in control, granny, you don’t need to worry too much about me and get stressed up.” I reassured, gently stroking her shoulders.

“It has been resolved. Quinn, Terry, Ivy and I got it under control. The other party has been summoned to court tomorrow, we have concrete evidence and would surely win this. I promise everything will be fine” I explained.
She sighed as she seemed to calm down.
stay y safe, child.” She said, stroking my hair.
I noticed she looked bothered these days, I had been busy and hadn’t sat down to ask what was bothering her.
“Granny, is everything alright? Is there something you want to say to nie?” I asked with concern.
“You noticed.” She chuckled dryly.
“And here I was thinking I had done a good job by pretending to be alright. She continued.
This had me sitting up. “What’s wrong! Are you feeling sick? Are you feeling pain anywhere?” I asked in one breath, placing my hands on her forehead.
“Oh, not that If I were sick, I’ll definitely let you know. She chuckled.
“Then what has been bothering you?” I asked.
She sighed again, a conflicted look on her face. I could see she was contemplating whether to tell me or not.
*Remember, you promised not to hide things from me.” I said in a low voice:
“It’s it’s that criminal” She finally muttered. My eyes widened.
Did the criminal not die Had granny seen him? Did he come to threaten her? Questions ran through my mind.
“Did you see him anywhere?” I asked her calmly, despite panicking inside.
“No. Those gray eyes of his, haunts me, I see him in my dreams, since the day I saw that picture. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere, I feel like I know him. The more I try to think of where or how I knew him, my head only aches the more. I try not to think of him, but he keeps coming again and again.” She explained, letting out a deep breath.
I sighed in relief, at least he was not alive. This was all my fault. If I had kept those pictures away, granny wouldn’t have had to see them and be bothered about it. She said she feels she knows him. But from where? I had lived with granny most of my life, and I didn’t recall meeting anyone
dio looked like him.
This seemed to be bothering her real bad. I wondered if I should take her to see a counselor. I didn’t know what to say, so I just stroked her shoulders comfortingly.
“I know you don’t believe me. I j
- me. I promise this is not old age acting up” She chuckled.
I believe you. But you said the more you try to think of how you know him, your head aches the more. Please granny, stop trying to think of how you krane humm or anything about him again. He’s not worth it, and besides he’s dead. He’s not worth thinking of after all he had done. Focus on your lealth, granny, it’s more important” I said.
“Thank you child. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I will get him off my head.” She smiled.
“That’s the spirit, granny“Freturned the simile.

“So, you said the perpetrators have been summoned to court. I hope they g are, defaming a company built with saucune’s hard work and sweat. Just for likely a few millions.” Granny scoffed
I laughed, looking at the exparision on her face. She looked like it, she sees them right she would bash their heads with her cane.
“You’re obviously exhausted. It min have been tough for you. Enough of the long talks now and go get some rest” She said, showing me out of the

Dove him fave at least, reduce your coldness towards him even if it’s a little. He has been doing a lot to help. I didn’t get to thank him for going all out to catch that criminal and putting his life at risk. Thank him for me personally, please” She pleased.
My heart skipped at the thought of meeting Quinn personally again
“Trghh“” I groaned mentall
Ishidist like the way little actions of his affected me. Chanting my motto: “keep your emotions in check” only helped a little. Her words were starting to make me feel a bit guilty.
But the past few days we worked together, today being an example, I wasn’t cold to him. We got along quite well.
“Alright, granny, I will.” I said, smiling at her reassuringly, as I already had in mind what I was going to do. A simple phone call or text message. “You know, I’ll ask him. I’ll ask him if you thanked him personally” She said as it reading my thoughts,
I smiled sheepishly before rushing to my room. Tomorrow was going to be a tough one. herself out of the mess, the stupid shareholders would face the consequences alone.
I was ready for it. I was sure that Maya would try to get
I picked up my phone and checked on post concerning the situation on board. My idea had worked, a part of the evidence I had asked Ivy to post was doing worders.
My supporters grew, and I could see the eagerness of people concerning tomorrow’s summoning to the court. I called Ivy, to make sure that the evidence was protected. I had saved it even Quinn and Terry had copies of it, but I couldn’t risk it
Anything could happen.
“y” I called as soon as the line was connected
“The evidence is triple protected. It’s going to go well don’t think too much about it.” She said, as if reading my mind.
Tm disconnecting the call now. It’s been a long day for us now shoo.” I heard her say before the line went off, I chuckled at her words.
I lay on the bed, hoping and praying that nothing would go wrong tomorrow.
