Chapter 72 - HER SILENCE IS KILLING

At the Fredericks empire everyone was walking on the edge, no one wants to lose such a good pay check and it's holiday allowance.

It's been so long they saw their big boss in such a fowl mood, this time it's not just the almighty CEO but his most trusted assistant seems to be the boss replica for two days now.

"Rosa you're friends with Mr Lauren, what's up with his grumpy mood" a female colleague asked

"I can't really say for sure and we're just an acquittance" said Rosa

"But there are pictures of you both on a cruise ship"

"Yes that's true but it's just a coincidence" said Rosa not interested

"How's that so huh_ if I get such an opportunity am gonna utilize it to climb up social circle"

"Good to know" Rosa told her dismissively but it seems her chatty partner wasn't ready to let go

"Am curious Rosa, what's up with Mr chairman? As you know it's been a while since he's in such a killing mood"

"Alicia, you're such a gossip_ can you kindly get back on your work station because am not ready to get fired" Rosa told her when she couldn't take it anymore.

Main while attorney Frederick just won a case after she gave the last piece of evidence against Mr Richard who was charged for child abuse, rape bribery and corruption and as well murder, same goes to his mistress.

Ms Pamela Richard got back her late mom's property including bank credit cards.

"Thank you attorney Frederick am super excited" Pamela told her as she hugs her

"It's my duty and am glad you got back your wealth" said attorney Frederick as she released her from the hug.

"My mom will be happy where she is now_ is there something I'll need to do before going ahead with the company?" Pamela asked.

"About that assistant Claire will brief you on tha" said attorney Frederick before joining the other attorneys.

"What the crab is going on young man? How did all this escalate into the internet and you've done nothing about it_ am talking to you Victor" madam Frederick queried her son who has said nothing since she got to the Frederick empire. She's one who rarely visit the empire but the situation at hand made her too.

"What does madam Frederick want me to say?" Victor asked his mom in a broken tune. Madam Frederick observed her son and saw the dark circles under his eyes, with noticable bulging of veins on his forehead.

"You look horrible_ are you having issues with Vida" asked madam Frederick but Victor scoffed at her

"Am your son but_" he was saying

"And she's not just my daughter-in-law but my daughter, I watched her grow into the excellent woman she is today and I wonder how she manage to strive knowing you've flopped". Said madam Frederick but Victor couldn't take it

'Why doesn't anyone wants to listen to me'

" Am not surprised. But mom please I don't need your nagging I need my wife please talk to her; her silence is killing me" Victor Frederick finally broke down hugging his mom, as a woman she knew what her daughter-in-law is passing through but as a mother she knows her son is going through a lot. She knows her son very well and he could give up his career for his marriage.

"It's okay son, I'll see what I can do about attorney Frederick but why haven't you said anything come to think of it why are you not at the manor?" Asked madam Frederick.
