Chapter 710 - Seven Hundred And Ten: All Of Them To Pay (1/2)

The third point of view:

Unfortunately, when one plans, life often had its own plans. The day Deborah finally decided to summon the courage and take the bull by the horn, Niklaus didn't come into the office.

She stood awkwardly by the floor leading to his office and pretended to be busy with her cleaning equipment

each time people passed her by.

She was not the only cleaner in the company, no, there were lots of them and each of them was assigned to certain floors and space since the headquarter was a high-rise building. She merely switched places with a co-worker, pleading to help her out with the job since she was already done with hers.

But then Deborah waited and waited at the usual time Niklaus came to the office and was almost at risk of being discovered when she found his assistant instead.

Since she found it difficult to walk up to Niklaus, Deborah decided to make use of the man instead knowing he was the one who handled all of Niklaus' needs.

It had taken a lot of pleading to convince Niklaus' assistant that her letter was important and after ensuring it wasn't harmful, the man agreed to give it to him. In her presence, he placed the letter on top of the pile of documents he carried and her heart raced knowing that it was only a matter of time till her father knew of her existence.

But then, for Deborah to turn around, she bumped into Isabella who had probably seen her interaction with the assistant.

”What is going on here?” Isabella asked with that authoritative voice of hers.

”It's nothing,” the assistant was the one who answered politely, ”You must be here to see your father?”

”Yes, I have something to discuss with him and I couldn't get a hold of him last night because he didn't come home,” Isabella said, scrutinizing her.

Deborah knew Isabella must look down on her because of her appearance. She couldn't help but wonder if they would get along if she comes to know that the both of them were siblings.

She doubted so anyway, she heard that Isabella was aloof, distant, and mean to people. A total bitch. Why would she like her?

Niklaus' assistant then turned to her, ”You should leave now. I'll be sure to relay your message,” He hinted at the letter.

Deborah smiled and took her leave, however, she caught Isabella staring at her letter that was kept on top of the others and she feared that Isabella would read it.
