"Sir, I was just arranging the files on your desk" She replied slowly
"Did I send you woman? why are you bend on destroying my life? I knew you are a spy from the first day I saw you, so tell me what do you want from me? and yesterday night?" Ryan asked curiously
"Yesterday night?.. Sir, I was in my house sleeping" She replied calmly
"Lies!!!.. You hear me? You are liar, a big one at that... am asking you the second time, what do you want Miss Emily Walton?" Ryan yelled at her.
Emily went on her knees as she bow her head in shame "Sir, I am a reporter from Breather times media house. The actual one that published that news about you and I gave them the news but I never knew my boss will publish it.. I swear, I didn't know my boss will publish the news.. Actually yes, I was sent here to spy on and report once every Friday about you especially news things sir.. I didn't know about him publishing your secret" She explained softly
"And tell me, what secret? is it the part that I can't sleep because I had a nightmare? Have you never had a nightmare before? Does that implies that I did money rituals?.. Is your boss really that stupid? And what made you to disclose this unnecessary things without thinking twice? are you not feeling any guilt?" He asked curiously as tears rushed out quickly from her eyes

"Forgive you? to hell with forgiveness... I said get out of my office before I lose my temper woman" He yelled
"Sir I pray one day you will find it a place in you good heart to forgive me.. I wish I could turn back the hands of time but is not possible.. I told him about the nightmare because I only wanted to report my weekly assignment, I didn't know he was planning to use it against you.. " She replied and gently stood up to her office. Ryan hissed behind her and sit comfortable on his desk, send a public chance to hire a new secretary.
Emily got to her office, packed her load and gently walked out of the company with tears in her eyes in shame. Everyone in the office looked at her weird but sadly their looks can not be compare with her boss's trust in her that was broken. she hated herself, and called her mom. She narrated the whole details to her
"Mom, I really didn't mean to hurt him" She said, weeping even more

"I don't think he will forgive me Mom, have hurt him alot.. I almost ruin his reputation" She commented
"Don't blame yourself Honey, you had no idea yoir useless boss at the media house would do such a heartless action so don't blame yourself. I think you should also quit that job at the media house because honey, that man will destroy you" Her mother Suggested calmly
