"Dear dear, sister." A feminine voice spoke and Tina and her PA turned to the entrance while Fiona walked in, as she walked majestically into the office.

Tina stepped back in shock.

"Why did you look so surprised to see me? You don't even look happy. It's been almost four years now." Fiona said like she was supposed to know that.

"Why are you here? Why are you back?" Tina asked shaking with anger.

Fiona chuckled and she took a seat on the armchair in the middle of the office.

"I am always going to come back. You know that. Wherever you are, I am also there." She answered her. Then she turned to her PA. "It's so good to see you again Tucker. You're looking more handsome than ever."

"I'm honored, Fiona," Tucker replied with a small smile.

"I'm surprised you are still working for my sister. She hasn't stopped being a howling wolf." Tina frowned when her PA chuckled.

"I have my reason."

"I believe you."

"I will leave you with your sister." He said to her.

"Thanks. We've got catching up to do later."

"Yeah." He replied and walked away after looking back at his boss with a smirk.

"You've not changed a bit, Augustina. You're still the angry insecure girl that you have been."

"You've not answered my question, Fiona. What are you doing here? This is my territory."

"Says who?" The thick scary voice she dreaded boomed in the whole room.

Her father was standing at the door with his favorite two bodyguards at his back.

This time her shoulder fell and she almost lose her stance.

"D.. Dad."

The man glared at his daughter and without saying any other thing, he walked over to the head chair and sat down.

Slowly, Tina sat down opposite her sister and behind her father.

"I always get to hear something so disappointing about you. Can't you ever do anything right?" The man asked his first daughter, looking at Tina.

She fumbled with the twist of her hair.

"I'm sorry, Dad." Was all she could say.

"Sorry. Sorry. Don't you get tired of saying that word?" He sighed and then he asked more calmly. "What happened with the deal?"

"De-Deal?" She answered nervously looking up at the man who was staring at her with his never-changing cold stare. He was looking at her like she had grown two horns when she repeated the question.

"Yes, deal Tina. You heard him clear. The contractor deal." Fiona said rolling her eyes at her sister's behavior.

"Dad... He rejected the offer." She stuttered.

"How? Why? What happened?"

"I... I.. He.." She stammered.

Fiona hissed loudly and her father glared at her.

"Sorry, Dad." She said apologetically. "I heard that she tried seducing him and then she threatened him."

"What?" The man exclaimed exasperatedly.

"Fiona..." Tina called her sister's name with venom laced in her voice.

The former raised a brow at her. "What? I'm not lying. Your PA told me that." She scoffed at her questioning and bewildered face. "Isn't that the truth? I heard you are the reason for Mr. Demilade and his fiancée's break up. You were trying to get him to sleep with you. And because of it, he rejected the deal. That's what happened, Dad."
