  &quot;No commitment... No expectations. They had said. But it s like she was starting to yearn and craved for much more than agreed.
  &quot;Get your emotions together Mitch.&quot; she said, as she reached for the box. She pulled the ring out and put it on her middle finger.
  &quot;There,&quot; she said uncaringly. Before taking her seat.
  She reached for Lyon s file on her table. Tomorrow is the launching of their new products and everything has been put in place. Tomorrow she will also be exacting her revenge on Lyon. She was bidding over Eagle Incorp. A small company but with whom Lyon had some dirty secret dealings with, thus their strongest backbone.
  She already briefed her best Techs but not in detail. She can t have one of them running their mouth and spoiling her perfectly planned revenge.
  A knock came on her door. 
  &quot;Come in,&quot; She called. Her secretary walked 

  She also thanked him for giving her a chance and trusting her. Her boss took a huge gamble by placing the affairs of his company in her inexperienced hand, and she was glad she hadn t let him down.
