Desert Devil

Episode 21

Michael didn’t respond to the greeting as he was so engulfed in finding the file . He asked Jessie about the file but she denied knowing anything about it. Michael was beginning to get angry. He said to her:” you are the only one with access into this office right now as Zack is out of town . The office is protected with lots of high tech products which means no one broke in but someone with access entered there and stole the file “. Jessie said :”yes, you’re right about all that but it doesn’t mean I took it. I mean why would I want to do such or don’t you trust me?” Michael replied:” so the file developed legs of it own and walked away then and walked away right? Just forget it”. He walked out leaving Jessie alone in topsy turvy.

Tasha was eavesdropping on their conversation “this will be the perfect time to get closer to him” she said. She followed Michael and tried calming him down. She took him to a bar where he took a glass of champagne to cool off. After he was a lil bit calm, Jessie sweetly asked him what happened and he narrated everything to her. She said ” I know you’re angry at her mine but you need to think straight. Being angry like this won’t help matters neither is it good for you. So what if she took the file? She must have her reasons. Maybe she wanted to use the money urgently and couldn’t tell you about it”. Michael stood up in anger at hearing that and he said:”I know Jessie and she would never do that okay? I trust her”. Tasha replied:”trust is good but when it becomes blinding it is dangerous. Did you think she actually loved you for nothing? She has gotten close to you and believes you’ll never suspect her or accuse her of committing such crime. Show her you’re not a naive man honey “. Michael removed her hand from his and walked out. Tasha said to herself:” you might have this trust in her but it won’t last. Definitely not on my watch.

I still need to pull more tricks and you’ll be mine”. She laughed and left.
