conference was called...did you do or say something to sabotage our deal?”

She frowned as she replied, “What...you’re kidding right...I did nothing to mess up our chances!”

He looked at her with an angry face as he responded, “So if you didn’t fuck this up purposely then what’s this rumor that you’re jumping ship and joining Lady Davenport’s camp?”

She looked at him surprised that he knew about her offer, but she immediately figured out that Danika must have told him about the deal. She smiled as she responded to his allegation, “Well, I was offered a position with her corporation but I assure you Travis...I didn’t sabotage our chances to land this deal!”

He gazed at her as he showed her an e-mail message from the Corporate Headquarters.

“You see this...this is an urgent e-mail from Corporate...they want to see us as soon as possible.” “They say they have some corporate matters to discuss concerning this project.” “They claimed that a representative from Davenport Industries, Inc. has some incriminating evidence against us. We are restricted from leaving here until the investigation team arrives here in three days.”

She gazed at him distraught as she replied, “Investigation...incriminating evidence...what’s really going on here, Travis?”

India was now totally confused, although Lady Davenport recently had told her that Travis was involved in setting her up, India did not fully understand Lady Davenport’s role in this dilemma. She did not know that she was planning to make contact with her Corporation. As she stood there waiting on Travis to respond to her question, she knew that she had to see Lady Davenport and do it like yesterday.

Travis mugged her up and down and then responded, “I’m not saying anything until I find out what you’ve done...I don’t trust you and I think you should stay the fuck away from me until I find out why you’re setting me up like this!”

He quickly slammed his glass on the bar as he stood up, strolling around her, leaving her standing there in awe. She slowly sat down at the bar and ordered a drink as she thought; “Only one person knew about Lady Davenport offering me a position with her firm.” “I thought I could trust her but I really see that Danika is really out to get me!”

Meanwhile Whitney was in her suite preparing to leave for the United States when she received a knock at her door. She hurriedly strolled to open it thinking it was Travis. She smiled as she opened the door wide, but was disappointed when she saw it was Danika standing there. She quickly turned around, strolling away from the door as she responded, “Oh, it’s you...what do you want?”

Danika smiled as she entered the room, closing the door behind her as she replied, “You know what I want...why you are holding out on me, Whitney?”

Whitney turned to face her puzzled as she responded, “What are you talking about, Danika?” “I’ve told you everything that I know so what is it that you want from me?”

Danika strolled over toward the bar, poured herself a drink and then replied, “I want to know the truth about Philly!” “You see I know that something’s up and you know what it is!”

Whitney smiled as she moved over toward the bar and sat down on the barstool.

“Why do you think that something is up, Danika...why don’t you just tell me what you think happened?”

Danika smiled as she took a sip of her beverage and then she replied, “Well...I think that India really slept with your boy Travis....since you two are almost identical I can see you two pulling something like this off!” “But what I don’t get is why...why you are two doing this?” “What’s the reason?”

Whitney sat there staring into space in deep thought as Danika waited for her answer. She knew she had to say something but she did not want to expose India’s cover up so she responded, “The truth is I was there in Philly...India was trying to sort things out with her mother and she asked me to step in.”

Danika looked at her with disbelief as she replied, “Now, do I look like a fool to you?” I know you don’t expect me to believe that bullshit do you?”

She looked at her straight as she replied, “Well it’s the truth...take it or leave it!”

Danika smiled as she replied, “So, I guess you sleeping with me the other night was all part of the plan too, huh?”

Whitney frowned as she replied, “I thought we were just
