"Lana, what are you doing?" Johnny said, startling lana a bit... her hand flew to her chest and turned to glare at him. "Don't sneak up on me like that," Lana said... "Are you slacking off now that he have part timers?" Johnny said in a teasing tone, and lana rolled her eyes at him... "I wasn't slacking off, I was just thinking about something or rather someone..." Lana said and sighed deeply... she was trying to place her head on something... she could feel it but couldn't place her hand on it... "Who are you thinking of?" Johnny asked a little curious and nosy... "None of your business," Lana said to him and stood up from her seat. She walked to the break room and sighed deeply as she made herself some coffee... "I've heard that name somewhere before, but where?" She muttered under her breath, and like a light bulb, it came to her... she gasped and immediately rushed out of the break room and straight to her desk... Johnny eyes travelled from his laptop to lana... he wondered what her problem was but decided not to ask... knowing the type of person she was, he knew she would tell him herself, and he didn't have to ask... "Michelle Graham..." Lana muttered under Her breath as she started to search her laptop... she gasped when she made a discovery... "She is Alex Graham's mother!" lana said out loud, gaining Johnny attention again... she had found a picture of Alex Graham mother online, and Michelle picture had popped up, the woman who came to the office with the lady from the boutique to look for juliet... It still didn't answer her question... why would Michelle come all the way to look for juliet and not even Sonia.... She had no reason whatsoever to come to their company... Did juliet know her personally? Lana doubted that... lana was about to go and show Juliet her discovery when she realised juliet wasn't at work... She wouldn't be until a few days' time.... Lana curiosity got the better of her... she couldn't wait till then... She wanted to know everything! Curiosity got the better of lana, and she picked up her phone to dial Juliet's number... Johnny looked more interested in what she was doing now... "Hey," Lana said, a nervous smile on her face when juliet answered the phone... "I'm sorry for calling you like this juliet, but I really need to show you something... would you be free for lunch... my lunch break is in thirty minutes... I will be at Johnny's waiting for you, " Lana said... she anticipated Juliet response and almost yelled out excitedly when juliet agreed, but she saw Johnny staring at her... "What is going on?" Johnny asked her when she ended the call... "None of your business," Lana replied and picked up her jacket... "I'm going out for my lunch break," "I thought we were going to have lunch together," Johnny said and stood up... "Change of plans... something came up. we can have lunch together tomorrow, " lana said and hurriedly left, leaving Johnny more than curious... _______________ _______________ Juliet checked the time after picking out the cloth she was wearing out... she was waiting for Alex to call her and tell her when he was picking her up for lunch... they had not talked after what had happened the previous night and the was a bit nervous to see him... she dropped her phone to put on her clothes, but her phone started to ring... Juliet picked up her phone, a smile on her face... she thought it was Alex, but the smile on her face dwindled when she saw it was a call from lana... Was something going on at work... She waited for a few seconds before they answered the call... "What do you want to show me?" Juliet asked and talked with lana a bit before she finally accepted to have lunch with lana, because of how urgent lana sounded... she ended the call and sighed deeply... Juliet was convinced it was about work and not something else... Her thought was that lana had gotten into some kind of trouble with Sonia... She decided to send a message to Alex, explaining everything to him and asking him if he would he free for dinner... Alex replied to her message a few minutes later and told her they should have dinner at her place at eight, which worked with her... "I wonder what she wants to show me," Juliet muttered when she saw ready to leave her house.. She wasn't glad that she had to cancel her lunch with Alex, but she was a bit satisfied that he was coming over for dinner... she would ask him then if his boss was no longer angry with him.... Juliet stepped out of her house and walked to the bus stop... she got to Johnny's, which was close to her workplace a little late because of a little hold up on the road that had delayed her... She sighted lana as soon as she walked into the restaurant, and she waved at her coworker... Lana waved back at her, a smile on her face... "Sorry I'm late, there was a bit of traffic on the way here," juliet said, and lana shook her head... she swallowed and took a sip out of her diet. Coke before she started talking... "You don't have to be, I'm the one who calls you out suddenly," "What do you want to show me?" Juliet asked, and lana brought out her phone from her bag... she had made a little research while waiting... "So a while back when we went to that boutique, I totally forgot to tell you, but I saw one of the women who came to look for you at work... I think you saw her too, but I didn't think you knew her. " Juliet looked confused at first and started to think back to who lana wad speaking about at the boutique... "The lady who walked in a while late... the pretty lady, " Lana tried to describe, and juliet remembered who she was talking about... "I remember, but I don't know who she is" Juliet said... "Well I don't either, but I found out who the second woman his... Michelle Graham... she is the mother of Alex Graham... the owner of the hotel" Lana said...
