(👫 Her Scent, His Weakness 🧡)
Bradley’s eyes met with that of a little girl and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he saw a familiar face not until Bryan spoke.
“Bradley? what are you doing here?” Bryan asked confusion etched on his face. Bradley looked away from the little girl to Iris before Bryan.
“I have to meet someone.. what of you? Why are you here?” Bradley asked and Bryan shrugged before glancing at Iris.
“I came with them.. ” he muttered, Iris was silent. It was obvious the two know each other,Bryan even called his name.
“You’re dating my brother?” Bradley asked and Iris blinked.
Brother? They were brothers… he has a brother?
“No..” she muttered and Bradley crossed his arms.
“We’re not dating Bradley.. we.. just bumped into each other” Bryan lied itching his neck.
Bradley wanted to ask questions but he kept shut.. he wasn’t the type to pry into people’s private lives but still it bothered him to know Iris was close to his brother, who was the girl anyway?
He stared at his shirt which was ruined with ice cream and turned around.. he was going home. There’s no way he’d meet Jolie like this, maybe they would meet some other time.
“What happened to his clothes?” Bryan asked after Bradley had left. Iris rolled her eyes and grabbed Anna’s hand totally ignoring him before walking out of the place.
Bryan rubbed his cheek.. that hurts
“At least, you could wait for me!” He yelled running after them.

Jolie clasped her hands together as she paced around. It was already 30 minutes and Bradley hasn’t showed up.. he wasn’t the type to be late.
She just needed to see him.. she’d got his number from her dad and luckily he talked to her. She wanted to talk it out with him, but she isn’t letting him go.
She sat on the bench watching the couples and the kids roaming about, laughing heartily. Maybe, someday she’d come here with Bradley and their kids. She smiled to herself, it would be fun and she’s gonna make sure it happens.
••• 8am, Shiny Glamours•••
The company was unusually quiet though it was a Monday, all the workers had been summoned and Bradley stood with dark, angry eyes.. his guards were around him.
“I would ask again.. who broke into my office?” his cold voice thundered and some of the staffs shuddered.
“Boss, with all due respect.. I think you should investigate the workers who were here on Saturday” a man said and everyone began murmuring to themselves.
Bradley’s frown deepened..
“Who said that?” he asked and silence reined everywhere. The man stepped forward and Bradley smirked.
“You’re fired” he ordered and everyone gasped.. Iris blinked, she couldn’t believe a man lost his job just by saying his mind. What was she expecting from the grumpy man anyways..she felt bad for the man.
The man smiled slowly before walking out of the company..
“Someone broke into my office and took something important.. I would suggest you come out yourself because if I fetch you out its gonna get bad” Bradley said but everyone was quiet.
Jocelyn smirked before raising her hand, all eyes turned to her.
Bradley furrowed his brows..
“Permission to speak, boss” she said and Bradley nodded.
“Boss, I think a search should be conducted.. the culprit won’t surrender easily” Jocelyn said and everyone murmured again.
👥 That would be better
👥 Who would want to steal from the boss?
👥 I pity the culprit..
All this while Iris was quiet, she hadn’t even gotten the chance to enter her office before she was summoned. The girl standing by her side nudged her gently.
“Heard you’re the new secretary.. how do you cope with her?” the girl whispered pointing at Jocelyn.
Iris smiled and shrugged..
“We don’t talk.. I seriously can’t stand her” she whispered back and the girl smiled.
“I’m Winifred.. just call me Win” she said and Iris bit her lower lip.
“I’m Iris.. ” she said and the girl gushed
“Your name suits your pretty face..” she muttered and Iris chuckled. She was the first person to speak to her politely ever since she started working at Shiny Glamours.. having another friend won’t cause any harm.
“Your offices would be searched, no-one is permitted to go in” Bradley said and the ladies stopped speaking immediately.

Everyone was still assembled in the hall when the guards emerged and whispered something in Bradley’s ears. His eyes widened but slowly turned to anger.
He shot a glare at Iris..
“Iris Ollie!” he called and Iris shivered. Why.. why would he call her? She did nothing.. okay, she wasn’t even here on Saturday. She summoned courage and stepped out.
Bradley dangled a necklace in front of her eyes and she blinked..
“What was this doing in your desk?” he asked and murmurings descended the hall. Everyone talked in harsh whispers.
“Boss.. I know nothing about that. I haven’t even gotten in today” she defended and Bradley’s glare hardened.
“How did it get to your desk?” he asked and Iris became speechless. She was about being framed for theft.. something she knows nothing about.
“Boss, I.. ”
“Call the Police” Bradley muttered his eyes on Iris. Gasps filled the hall..
👥 She’s a criminal, can’t believe that
👥 She looks innocent, truly looks decieve
👥 You think she really did it?
👥 I was here on Saturday but i didn’t see her
👥 It’s possible she might have broken in Friday after everyone might have left
Iris looked at Bradley straight in the eyes, she can’t believe this is happening. Why would he blame her, she was at the Park on Saturday.. they even bumped into each other.
“Boss, the police would be here soon” one of the guards announced, that was when Iris knew it was serious.
“Boss, I.. let me explain.. I wasn’t here.. It wasn’t me” She pleaded at the verge of tears. Bradley looked away, of all the things.. the necklace was one thing he treasured. He was blinded by rage, she stole.. stole from him.
In less than 30 minutes, the police arrived. Iris was in tears already trying to explain herself but no-one was listening to her except Winifred.
“I believe you.. don’t cry” Winifred tried soothing Iris. But she wasn’t hearing any of that. Everything was fine this morning, she arrived at work only to be framed for theft and now she would be jailed.
She might never get the chance to see her daughter anymore, the thought brought more tears to her eyes.
Bradley was discussing with the officers and then they finally turned to her. She looked at Bradley with teary eyes, if not anyone.. he should at least believe her..
She was handcuffed and led into the police van, she took one last glance at Bradley before entering the van.
Jocelyn smiled triumphantly.. Job done!..
