    “Hey, Miss Cleo,” Martha greeted. It’s been a couple of months that Amy hasn’t seen Martha so she


    greeted back gently.


    “Hi, miss.” Since she was putting on a new identity, she had to pretend like she doesn’t recognize her.


    “I’m Martha, the daughter of the mayor of this City. I’ve heard a few things about you and it’s really nice


    to see you,” Martha said.


    Amy smiled,” nice to meet with you too. I’m guessing you are here to apply for a contract, right?”


    “Yes. Ever since the Alessandro’spany went bankrupt, my Father’spany has been leading the


    design and decorations world and I’m 100 percent sure we would get this contract,” Martha said.


    “Wow! That’s great!”


    “What feild are you applying for, miss Cleo?” Martha asked.


    “The electronics of the building,” Amy lied.


    “Oh! Great. Why don’t we walk in together to submit?” Martha asked and Amy nodded. She wondered


    why Martha was acting like a good person here. After her mother died and Martha and her mother


    moved inside her father’s house, they maltreated her so much. She still carry the scar they caused her


    both in her heart and her body.


    The both of them soon sat where numerous other contract applicants sat.


    While waiting for their turn, Martha said to Amy, “So miss. Cleo, did you you mind telling me about


    “Nothing much to say about myself, except that I love to y volleyball” Amy said.


    “I also love volleyball,” Martha said and then a voice could be heard from inside, “Next.”


    Martha stood and gestured for Amy,” let’s go in together. People have been entering in twos.”


    actually came to submit an application to secure the design and decoration works of the building? What if


    she does? She doesn’t care. It’s not like they are friends or she has anything useful to offer.


    “Sure,” Amy smiled and they both walked inside the room.


    Irvin sat in his big and tall chair, he was so short that his legs didn’t even reach the ground. His legs were


    floating from the chair he sat. Perhaps, because the chair was quiet tall. He was the one interviewingConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    folks who are submitting the contract application. Of course, he was dressed in his white suit and white


    shoe.


    When Amy and Martha appeared in his office, theyposed themselves greatly and greeted him


    politely.


    “Have your sit,” he said and the two women sat.


    “Your application?” He requested from Amy first and Amy handed over the carefully drafted application


    letter and proposal to him.


    apprentices under you, right?”


    “No, but we could hire the best of hands. We are a newpany,” Amy said.


    “Oh!” He eximed, “You previous designs and decorations are good though?”


    When Martha heard the word ‘design and decoration, she looked at Amy in surprise. Was she lying to


    her? Martha thought. Thought she said she was here for electronics work?


    He dropped the letters on a side and then requested for that of Martha, he began to review the works


    and she saw how outstanding their works had been.


    “Wow! Yourpany has done so many great jobs in the past,” Irvin said to Martha. He was impressed


    by what he saw.


    “Yes, sir. Our n had always been focused on Designs and Decorations. We will perform excellently,


    sir,” Martha said.


    “Obviously,” he said and her full names rang a bell on his ears all of a sudden. “Are you the daughter of


    the mayor?”


    “Yes, sir.” Martha replied proudly.


    “Oh!” Irvin didn’t like the mayor at all. He bore a heavy grudge against him. But he should employ the


    best of hands in this work and keep his grudges aside.


    “Well, we’ll get back to you,” he said.


    “And me, sir?” Amy asked, seeing that she seemed to be totally ignored.


    “Miss. Cleo, we need the best of hands. Not just people who are skilled in design, people who have


    loads of experience and have done many good works on many buildings in the past,” Irvin said.


    “My partner has loads of experience when ites to design, did you know whom he is?” Amy asked.


    Amy was sure that Broderick must have supervised the design and decorations of more than fifty big


    buildinhs in North Hill.


    She may not have much experience when ites to designs and decorations but Broderick? He’s a


    master of it.


    “Loads of experience?” Irvin thought and lowered his head, he carefully checked the name beside that of


    Amy, he had only read her name and skipped the name of her partner when examining her proposal.


    “Broderick Alessandro!” He read the name out loud.


    Martha looked at Amy in shock again. Broderick was her partner, huh? How?


    Irvin raised her gaze up to her and examined her then picked up his phone and ced a call across to


    Broderick,” boss!”


    “It’s me.” Broderick responded. Broderick was watching the whole scene from his house cause there was


    a camera ced strategically in Irvin’s office.


    Irvin was shocked and ced the phone back gently. Who was this woman to his boss?
