"Here is the dossier, Hazel."

Will passed the file for me to check.

"This looks good Will. Thank you." Will is good at his job. I should say the very best. He knew how to deal with problem and how to lead. If it wasn't for him Amstrong would never be as big as it is today. We make an amazing work-partners. It's been a week since I returned home but there are piles of work to do. Will helps me a lot to complete them.

"Hazel, I want to tell you about the Annual Global Enterpreneurs meet at Tesla. You must attend it."

"You always attend all the social events, Will. Besides its a three days event, I can't leave Hope alone. I have already been away from her for a week"

"Hope can stay at her friend Gigi's home. She has been asking for it for a long time. You also know how Musk is, he insists that he meets you personally. He might have plans to partner with us for the new SpaceX project. It's a golden chance."

"Alright. When is the date?"

"On 27th. I will shedule it for you."

"Yeah, works for me."

"I forgot to tell you. Hope is dropping by here early. I have send the driver to pick her up."

My telephone line rings suddenly.

"Yes Tisha." I answer my assistants call. Will gestures me that he is going back to his office. I nod at him.

"Ms. Amstrong, there is a visitor for you here. She asked for personally meeting you."

"Is she having an appointment?" I ask.

"No, Ms.Amstrong but she says its important and she is your old friend."

"Okay, let her in." I wonder who she is? But as soon as the door of my office open, my confusion turned to panic.

"Hello, Hazel." Says Zara as she comes in and sit in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask confused.

"I just landed here today and I thought I should pay you a visit first. So I found your office and came here directly."

I knew she might come here someday but I didn't expect it to be sooner.

"Alright. Did you settle in somewhere?"

"No, I didn't find an apartment yet. I am staying in a hotel."

"Okay. I will help you just like I promised."

"Thank you. It means a lot." She says. Her eyes twinkles as she looks at me longingly. It looks like she wants to say something to me but words failed her. She looks at me in a new light.

"It's fine. I did give you my word and why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.

"I never expected to see you like this."

"Like what?"

"Like an important and powerful person."

"What? Did you thought that if you all break me, I would never fix myself? Did you think that I will crawl back to you and your brother?"

"Hazel... It's not what I meant and whatever I said eight years ago were thoughtless of me. You were always a strong person and you don't need my brother for being you."

"Enough. Don't speak anymore. I said I would help you when you come here. I will help you but after that there won't be anymore meetings like this."

"Hazel... about what happened eight years ago..."

"No, I don't want to hear anymore. I am busy right now. I would prefer you to leave me alone. My assistant will help you find a place near your hospital."

"Hazel... You shouldn't feel..."

I dial my assistant. "Tisha, Find Ms.Ross here a good apartment near the city hospital, will you?"

"Yes, Mam. But little princess is here. She insist that she wants meet you urgently."

What? Hope is here. No. No. No. She shouldn't be here now. Zara should not see her now.

"No, don't let her in. Send her to Will." I could hear Hope rattle with Tisha.

"Okay mam." She says but before hanging up she say. "Ms. Amstrong... little princess just..."

Before Tisha completes her sentence, the door opens up.
