Triffany was too boiled up and she continues.

"Who are you? You got a job and ride flashy cars and now think others are not worth it."

Tears flowing down her cheek with Carlos watching her speechlessly. "You think I won't get a job, I hate you, I hate this life, you think I'm happy living this way huh! Being insulted by my little brother and laughed by my cousins. I never choose this life!" Triffany said with a choked voice.

Carlos who don't know what else to do in this situation could only try to say a few words. "I'm sor..."

Before he could apologize Triffany interrupted him again. "Hold it!"

She closed and opened her eyes, she was already tired and weak to continue, thinking of her situation have exhausted her.

"Just go. I don't want to hear anything from you, go to where you were heading to, looking at you makes me more miserable."

She turned and walked out slowly in tears leaving the money scattered on the ground.

Allison turned to Carlos politely. "I'm so sorry, she's just too sensitive these days, you should head on."

Allison then turned and went after Triffany. "Wait for me."

"Sir we have to go." Shanne respectfully told him opening the car door.

Carlos took one more glance at Triffany before concentrating on his phone.

"Triffany." Allison looked at her.

Triffany stopped walking and turned to her. "I'm really miserable right?" She asked her.

"No you're not."

"Allison..." Triffany broke down in tears again.

"Hey come here." Allison hugged her in confort. "It's okay, don't cry, things will work out for you."

Triffany gently pulled away and looked at Allison seriously. "Allison, I'm not going to do anything anymore, looking at my life I'm hopeless."

"Don't say that."

"I'm going home Allison, I will just live alone peacefully, I'll go home now to put in my plans for this year." Triffany told her and wiped her tears.

"Are you going to be okay on your own?" Allison asked with concern.

"I will." Triffany stopped a taxi and left.

Hospital.

Carlos Zack arrived at the hospital and went to the ward the staffs we're, imediately they say him they both sat up.

"Sir."

"You should both rest, you can lye down." He told them.

"Sir, we're sorry." They kept apologizing.

"I understand, you both should just focus on getting better, in other to leave here imediately." He told them.

"We will."

Carlos put his hands into his pocket. "So what was the medical report?" He asked.

"Our bones are okay, luckily we would be discharged in a week." They told him.

"I'm glad it was not a serious injury."

"It isn't." They both response.

"Alright then, you should both rest now." He turned and left the ward and hospital.

Shanne drove him to the construction site where he met the person he placed in charge.

"What is the cause of this damage?" He asked in a deep indifferent voice.

"Sir, it due to the heavy engine and the survey we did recently was carried out by a fraudster." Rex reported.

Carlos turn his cold gaze at him. "You were in charge of this and you couldn't carry out your job properly!"

"I'm sorry sir." Rex apologize trembling.

"I'm tired of hearing I'm sorry, I placed you here thinking you are fit for this job but here you are saying you were tricked by a fraudster. What have you tried to do about it, do you realize you endangered people's life because you did not check the work correctly. This is useless!" Carlos voice was slightly raised.

Carlos looked around. "Hey Rony!" He called out a staff close by.

"Yes sir." The staff hurried closer.

"Show me the survey list." Carlos demanded.

"Sure sir." He handed it over.

Carlos went through it, he looked up in few minutes. "Is this all?" He asked with his cold indifferent voice.

"No sir." Rony handed the next list to him, trembling.

"Okay, I'll look into it later." Carlos said, he then turned over to Rex. "For now Rex you're fired!"

Rex looked up shocked. "Sir.."

Without giving him another glance he turned to Rony. "Rony!"

"Yes sir." Rony answer without hesitation now trembling.

"Find a better replacement and report to me." Carlos told him.

Rony looked at Rex and then answered. "Okay sir."

Carlos left them without another another words or glance.

Rex just stare at the cold man that left he looked down. "How can he be so cruel?"

Rony who was his junior looked at him. "I'm so sorry sir."

Rex who already know the person he worked for turned to Rony. "I'm aware no pleading willake him take me back, it's all my fault anyway."

"Sir don't say that."

"You should work hard from now, and do your work diligently, do not follow my footsteps." Rex adviced him.

Rony looked at him. "why is he like that? you've worked so well for him all this while." Rony asked.

Rony signed. "I destroyed something worth 200 million dollars. I'm lucky he's letting me off easily."

"Sir..."

"You better go do your job in other not to end up like me." Rex turned and left.

"Life..." Rony shaked his head and went to where other staffs were.
