Ceo’s wife disguised as cleaner to test workers #africanfolktales – Ty

Ibin adami was a tall calm man with a warm smile he ran a famous law firm in lagos called adami and company many people respected him and believed he always did what was right but late one evening he stood by his office window looking down at the twinkling lights of the city he felt worried as if a shadow lay over his mind his heart was heavy because he had heard many strange complaints from important clients they said important case files went missing ended up full of small errors that caused big problems ibin did not know

Who was behind these mistakes and this mystery made him nervous he thought someone could be doing this on purpose but why he did not want to speak too loudly about his fears the law firm was his pride and joy he had built it from scratch using his savings and countless hours of hard work when he was younger he could only dream of having such a big practice but he had built it well making sure to hide the best lawyers and train them so they could help all kinds of clients now many top people trusted adami and company to handle serious

Cases losing that trust would crush iban spirit he sighed and pulled out his phone to call his wife ioma aoma was at home reading a magazine at the kitchen table when she heard yukin’s voice she knew something was wrong she quickly asked him my dear you sound uneasy has something happened at work ibin closed his eyes for a moment before answering i keep getting strange reports he said clients are angry our best lawyers say they are losing key documents or these papers show up with big mistakes that none of them remember making the errors

Look small at first but they cause big troubles in court i am scared it may be a plan to damage our firm ioma understood how much the law firm meant to her husband she had watched him pour all his energy into it for many years now that the firm was so close to the top it hurt her to see him worried she asked softly could this be an accident or maybe someone inside is trying to bring you down iuk can paused i cannot tell he admitted i want to believe it is just a few careless errors but this is happening too often especially with

Important cases something feels very wrong ioma placed her hand on her phone as if she could reach through it and comfort him we will find a way to solve this she said maybe we can look closer at the people in the office we can keep our eyes and ears open but we have to be careful ibin let out a shaky laugh yes we must be careful he agreed i can’t just accuse my staff of wrongdoing without proof they’re lawyers after all they know the rules but a few of them have acted strange lately i also noticed d one of my senior partners pushing for

Sudden changes it might just be nothing but it could be something more when ibin reached home ioma greeted him at the door he hugged her tightly thankful for her support that night they spoke in low voices about all the little signs pointing to a hidden hand causing trouble ibin looked more tired than usual he said he was worried that if there truly was a plot it would soon get worse aoma could almost feel his fear she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder telling him we will f figure it out together she believed that his best plan

Might be to uncover the truth from inside but how could he do that when everyone in the office knew who he was that was the moment ioma had a sudden idea her eyes lit up and she turned to ibin with a tiny smile you need someone on the inside who nobody will suspect she said what if i pretend to be a new cleaner nobody notices the cleaner i can walk around blend in and listen i can see who is doing what ibin stared at her in surprise working as a cleaner he asked you have never done that before and it might be risky people in the firm might

Recognize you ioma shook her head i know how to hide in plain sight she said think about it most people don’t pay attention to someone in a uniform emptying trash or mopping floors and not everyone at the firm has met me face to face i only show up at special events or parties i canar wear a scarf or a simple cap nobody will guess iuin looked at her uncertain he worried about her safety but also knew she was clever finally he said if you want to do it we should be sure you can stay safe i don’t want you getting hurt or caught in the middle of

Something dangerous ioma understood his worry but she felt a strong need to help she said we have to save your law firm from harm you work too hard for it besides we can do this quietly i will keep my phone hidden on me at all times so i can record anything strange and i will text you if i feel unsafe ibin still looked uneasy but there was a bit of hope in his eyes he nodded slowly and they shared a smile it was a plan though a risky one the next morning ibin arrived at the office earlier than usual he went straight to the security room

And spoke to the head of security mr onu ibin trusted him he explained that his wife would come in as a new cleaner and he asked mr onu to watch over her silently the older man raised his eyebrows in surprise then nodded i will do my best he promised i won’t say a word to anyone and i will keep an eye on her on the cameras a short while later ioma stood outside the firm’s main doors wearing worn out shoes plain pants and a faded shirt under a navy blue apron she held a mop in one hand and a small bucket in the other she looked nothing

Like the graceful stylish woman who usually walked by iban’s side at fancy dinners she glanced around her heart pounding she had butterflies in her stomach but she felt ready ioma walked into the busy reception area the large marble floor sparkled under bright lights employees rushed around with stacks of paper and buzzing phones nobody gave her a second look she took a steady breath it was time to begin she offered a shy smile to the front desk person and said in a soft voice i’m the new cleaner where should i start the

Young receptionist barely glanced at her she waved a hand toward a hallway that led to rows of offices you can start with the conference room she said sounding distracted just don’t get in anyone’s way ioma nodded she gripped her mop and wheeled her bucket carefully so it didn’t spill as she walked she noticed small details around her she saw locked doors with golden name plates tall glass walls showing glimpses of lawyers talking with each other and hush hush whispers that echoed softly every step made her more sure that something

Big was happening here and she was right in the middle of it she remembered iban’s worried face and reminded herself that this was for him for their family and for the future of adami and company she paused for a moment outside a meeting room she could hear people arguing inside their voices were low but they sounded upset she tried not to look too curious though her ears tingled with anticipation this was exactly why she was here to catch the signs of trouble that others overlooked her heart pounded as she slowly moved her mop across the shiny

Floor ready to pick up any clue that might lead her to the person behind the firm’s problems still she felt a small flicker of fear what if someone guessed who she was could dare that stern senior partner recognize her face if he happened to look too closely aoma knew she had to be more careful than ever she pushed those worries aside she trusted her disguise for now but she reminded herself to stay alert she had to act like a simple cleaner invisible and harmless for a second she thought about the moments she spent with abbin the

Previous night she remembered the exhaustion in his voice and the gentle worry in his eyes she remembered how important this mission was she would not fail she took a breath moved forward and began to mop the floor in gentle strokes each stroke seemed to say i am here to protect my husband and find the hidden truth she turned the corner heading to the conference room her mind focused on the task ahead she knew this was only the beginning whatever lay ahead she had stepped into it by choice and she would not stop until she uncovered the mystery

Lurking in admi and company in that moment ioma understood something very clear she was not just a wife in a disguise she was now the quiet eye that would see all the secrets the shadows hid and as the door to the conference room opened before her she felt a spark of courage pushing her onward ioma stood outside the conference room door for a moment trying to calm her beating heart she could hear voices on the other side low and tense like people arguing quietly she turned the handle slowly carrying her mop and bucket inside a few

Lawyers at a long table barely noticed her they were busy flipping through papers and shaking their heads one of them a man with a trimmed beard spoke in a hush tone this is the third time we’ve lost an important document this week another person a woman in a neat black suit tapped her pen on the table and whispered dare will not be happy about this he blames us for every mistake ioma kept her eyes on the floor while she moved her mop but her ears caught every word when the lawyers finally looked up and saw her they paused the man who had

Been speaking stared at ioma as if she were an intruder we booked this room for an urgent meeting he said sharply must you clean here now ioma kept her head bowed her voice quiet i’m sorry sir i’ll just finish quickly she made sure her eyes did not linger on their files though she wondered what was written on those scattered pages one sheet was crumpled at the edge of the table and a line of text se seemed to mention a missing brief she picked up her bucket letting the water sosh a bit and stepped out she heard the man grumble under his

Breath these little mishaps are getting worse every day she left the room but her mind stayed behind with those worried voices she felt sure that the missing documents problem was part of a bigger plan she remembered what ibin had said the night before someone might be doing this on purpose if that were true then these lawyers were becoming pawn in a dangerous game she walked down the hall noticing how bright lights reflected on the shiny floor she saw people walking fast some holding folders close to their chests as if afraid

Someone might snatch them away she realized that tension filled the entire building she soon came to a small break area there was a table with a kettle some cups and sugar one young man in a gray suit stood there sipping tea he seemed about her age maybe younger he noticed and smiled kindly oh hello he said raising his cup in a friendly greeting you must be the new cleaner right i’m ibuka ioma nodded with a slight smile yes i just started i’m sorry if i’m in your way ibuka waved his hand no no you’re fine i actually wanted

To thank you because these floors can get so dirty and we do need someone to keep them clean she found his politeness heartwarming and for a second she forgot she she was undercover you’re welcome she said softly i’ll do my best ibuka glanced around to make sure nobody else was nearby then he leaned in a bit and whispered things have been crazy around here people keep losing important paperwork and it’s always something that makes us look bad in front of clients just last week we had a huge case file vanish right before a meeting he shook

His head inside i heard dare was furious some people are saying he’s pushing for big changes at the firm ioma acted like she did not know who d was she just nodded and asked why are these mistakes happening ibuka let out a short bitter laugh i wish i knew it’s scary when big files disappear our clients trust us to be perfect if we keep messing up we might lose them and trust me that would be a disaster then he sipped his tea one more time quickly checked his watch and said i have to go another meeting soon with that he gave her a small wave and

Disappeared down the hallway leaving ioma with more questions swirling in her mind as she continued cleaning different rooms she heard fragments of conversations here and there in one corner two pargal were talking about how dare had shouted at someone that morning accusing them of sloppiness in another office a woman on the phone whispered that her research documents had been mixed up and she didn’t know how it happened all these little clues painted a picture that felt more like sabotage than simple errors each time ia heard

Dar’s name it came with a hint of fear or anger later in the day she went into a lounge area meant for employees to relax she wanted to empty the trash can there she met leake a kind woman with braided hair leake was an administrative assistant busy sorting letters into neat piles she paused to smile at aoma you look tired leake said gently this firm is so big you must have a lot to do ioma nodded glad to have someone to talk to she quietly asked i hear people keep losing files is it always like this leake frowned and shook her head never

This place used to be so well organized i don’t know what’s going on dare is raging almost every day he threatens people makes them feel small i know people who have cried in the bathroom after he yelled at them but we can’t speak up too loudly he is a senior partner after all ioma pressed her lips together thinking about her next question she asked softly do you think it’s an accident or something else leake lowered her voice her eyes darting around to check if anyone was near i’m not sure but it’s strange that all these

Mistakes keep leading to bigger problems important clients have started noticing it doesn’t feel random she stacked another pile of letters and added be careful around dare he sharp if he thinks you’re prying he won’t be kind ioma thanked leake emptied the trash and left the lounge her heart pounded as she stepped into a nearby hallway so many people seemed worried yet nobody had proof of who was behind all these vanished files with her mop handle in hand she walked slowly scanning the area at the far end of the hallway she saw an

Open door she peaked inside and realized it was a small storage room full of boxes and in old case papers nobody was there she went in to tidy up but mostly she wanted to see if there was anything odd she began moving a broom that leaned against the wall and just then she noticed a corner of shredded paper poking out of a large trash bin she bent down and picked it up part of the text was gone but she could make out a few words trial date changed must not reach aukin and delay her mouth went dry could this be more evidence of foul play

She heard footsteps in the hallway so she quickly tucked the shredded bit of paper into her apron pocket she stood up and pretended to clean a moment later dare himself strowed past the open door he paused seeing ioma inside she felt her heart jump but she kept her face blank he frowned at her who are you he asked in a stern voice i haven’t seen you before she bowed her head politely i’m the new cleaner sir i started today hey darare studied her for a few seconds his eyes cold did anyone give you permission to go through those boxes he

Asked his tone sharp ioma shook her head quickly no sir i was only sweeping the door was open dare made a small annoyed sound well hurry up and finish this area is off limits to most staff don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t belong he turned and walked away his footsteps echoing down the hall i feel felt the tension drain from her body replaced by a wave of relief she had to be more careful a single slip could make dare suspicious she exhaled slowly grabbed her mop and left the storage room in her pocket the piece of shredded paper

Burned like a warning that she was digging into a dangerous secret after another hour of cleaning small offices and corridors it was time for her to head out for the day she made her way to a side exit to avoid running into d again at the door she paused thinking about everything she had seen and heard people were scared and fed up documents were vanishing dare seemed to be at the center of it or at least knew more than he let on ioma felt both determined and nervous she had to keep digging but she also had to hide her true identity well

She could not let her guard down she stepped outside into the warm lagos air the sun just starting to set she took her phone from her pocket to send ibin a quick message day one ended she wrote i have a clue we’ll tell you soon she pressed send then tucked the phone away this was only the beginning and she needed to stay calm tomorrow she would come back mop in hand eyes wide open ready to search for more answers something important was happening inside at aami and company and she intended to find the truth no matter how complicated

It became the next morning ioma returned to the firm with the shredded paper still tucked in her apron pocket she felt a mixture of excitement and dread when she stepped through the doors the atmosphere felt heavier than before people darted around looking over their shoulders as if afraid she spotted ibuka in the hallway talking rapidly to another lawyer she waited until he was alone and whispered i found a strange note mentioning a trial date change do you know anything about that ibuka blinked clearly startled no but that

Sounds like the kind of tampering that’s been ruining our cases he said lowering his voice have you told anyone else ioma shook her head not yet i don’t know who to trust ibuka leaned forward talk to leake she handles a lot of internal files if something is missing or changed she might notice it first ioma thanked him and moved on careful to keep her mop and bucket in plain sight she saw dare at the far end of the cor corridor locked in a tense conversation with a junior lawyer named toyosi dar’s voice rose we cannot afford more blunders he

Hissed ioma quietly slipped away her heart pounding there was something in dar’s tone that made her certain he was more involved than he pretended she found leake in the copy room sorting papers leake looked up inside it’s only 9 in the morning and i’ve already printed the same documents three times she muttered they keep disappearing ioma hovered by the door do you remember which documents went missing leake paused eyes wary some were court motions others were client files each time dare demanded new copies claiming the

Originals were lost ioma pulled out the scrap of shredded paper and showed it to leake i found this in a storage room she whispered leake read the words that remained her face growing pale this is bad she said who would want to stop ibin from seeing the correct dates if we show up on the wrong day or with the wrong papers we lose big a sudden noise in the hallway made them both jump toyosi stood there eyes darting between them his expression was guarded ioma shoved the paper back into her apron leake coughed trying to

Appear casual toyosi narrowed his eyes but said nothing after a tense moment he left ioma exhaled we have to be more careful she said to leake i’m starting to think dare has people helping him leake nodded you might but we can’t accuse him without proof feeling the urgency ioma decided she needed to act at night when the offices were empty if she could search dar’s files without being seen she might find solid evidence she touched her apron pocket again thinking i must gather more clues before dare or anyone else destroys them and

With that plan forming she st back into the bustling corridors determined to uncover the truth no matter the risk ioma woke up early the next day with a knot in her stomach she had barely slept thinking about the big case coming up ibin had told her the night before that one of their biggest clients chief okuku was set for a major hearing in court if adami and company made any mistake with this trial they could lose the client forever and the firm’s reputation would suffer ioma felt a sense of urgency push her forward she dressed in her cleaner’s

Uniform again told ibin to stay calm and hurried out the door when she arrived at the firm the energy in the building was almost electric everyone seemed on edge most lawyers were busy polishing their final arguments and confirming meeting times while pargal ran around double-checking case files ioma noticed dar’s office door was shut but she could hear muffled voices inside she recognized dar’s harsh tone scolding someone maybe toyosi she did not want to linger in the hallway too long so she shuffled past clutching her mop handle

Tighter than usual soon after she spotted ibuka near the printing station looking frustrated he held a stack of papers and was shaking his head they just got swapped again he muttered spotting ioma i printed a final witness statement but when i came back the pages were full of strange errors someone must must have switched them he lowered his voice this is the final blow if we don’t fix it now chief okuku was hearing is tomorrow one slip and we lose everything ia’s heart thumped she thought about the shredded note in her apron pocket it had

Warned about changing court dates so ibin would never see the real schedule now key witness statements were also being messed with she suspected dare plan to wreck this case from the inside and make sure ibin looked incompetent she needed proof strong enough for aukin to confront dare without anyone escaping blame leake rushed in arms filled with fresh copies we must lock these away she said sounding breathless someone keeps grabbing documents off the printer i’m going to hand them straight to ibin he’s meeting with chief okuku soon to confirm

Last details before tomorrow iom stepped aside to let leake pass she noticed that leak’s eyes were red as if she had been crying the stress in this place was becoming too much for everyone as ioma mopped the floors in a quiet hallway she thought about the best way to catch dare she remembered telling leake that she might search dar’s office after hours tonight was her best chance if she could sneak in while dare was away she might find hidden files or emails that revealed his plan she would have to be fast and careful dare was sometimes the

Last person to leave but with the trial looming maybe would go home earlier for once as evening crept in most people began packing up ibuka offered to stay late to help ioma in case she needed any backup she thanked him but insisted it was safer for her to move alone if anyone saw her with ibuka they might guess she was more than just a cleaner so ibuka left wishing her good luck in a low whisper the office grew still and quiet ioma carried her bucket and mopped to the far end of the hall stopped near dar’s closed door she placed her ear

Against it and listened no voices no rustling maybe dare had finally gone home she tried the handle gently but she swallowed hard thinking of a new plan she remembered there was a side door that led from dar’s office to a smaller meeting room that door was sometimes left unlocked for easy movement between rooms she hurried to the adjacent meeting room it was dim lit only by the city lights shining in through large windows her footsteps sounded loud on the marble floor but nobody was around to hear she tried that door it gave way

With a small click she entered dar’s office carefully heart pounding as if it would burst from her chest the room smelled faintly of cologne and burnt coffee a large desk stood in the center covered with files and scribbled notes ioma let out a slow breath and set her bucket aside she started opening drawers scanning for anything labeled with the case name she found a folder that read chief okuku land dispute inside were two sets of papers one looked normal but the other was full of cross outs and strange words scrawled in red ink delay motion

Wrong date for submission she read under her breath her hands trembled this was enough to prove dar was tampering with the case but maybe there was more she dug deeper and found a small notebook she flipped through it by the glow of the window each page listed sums of money and brief lines like payment to outside party meet with contact after hours and remove key witness statements ioma bit her lip dare was not working alone someone outside the firm also seemed involved she needed to grab a few pages of these notes to show aukin her

Heart jumped when she heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway could dare be coming back she quickly stuffed the notebook into her apron pocket along with copies of the tampered documents then she scrambled to the meeting room door closing dare’s office behind her with the softest click she could manage she stepped into the shadows breathing in short silent gasps from the crack under the door she saw a light switch on in dar’s office she heard him mumbling he must have realized the door was unlocked who’s been in here dare growled

Sounding furious ioma clenched her fists she needed to leave before he started searching the place she waited feeling her legs burn from standing so still after what felt like forever the light in dar’s office snapped off again she heard the door slam shut the sound of his angry footsteps faded down the corridor ioma slipped out of the meeting room bucket in hand her heart still racing she hurried toward the elevator forcing herself not to run she prayed dare would not suddenly appear from around a corner when she reached the

Lobby she almost collapsed in relief at last she walked outside into the warm lagos night clutching her bag of evidence she knew iuin would be proud of her for finding real proof yet she also knew the danger had increased d clearly sensed that someone was snooping he might lash out if he felt cornered but ioma had no choice the hearing was just hours away she had to give aukin these documents and hope they could fix any damaged d might still do with every step she took down the dark street she told herself that this was the only way to

Save the firm tomorrow everything would come to light and she had to be ready for whatever happened next ioma arrived at home late that night her mind racing with what she had found in dar’s office she did not bother to change out of her cleaner’s clothes she went straight to ibin who was sitting at the dining table looking over some papers he stood up the moment he saw her worried face are you okay he asked gently resting a hand on her shoulder i’m fine she said taking a deep breath but i found proof that dare is tampering with our biggest

Case he even keeps a notebook that shows he’s planning to sabotage us her hands shook a little as she pulled out the files and the notebook pages yukin’s eyes widened when he saw them he flipped through the pages reading the red ink notes about fake court dates and missing witness statements his face grew pale so it’s true ibin whispered i kept telling myself maybe this was only a small issue but dare is really trying to destroy us he rubbed his forehead looking like a man who had gone without sleep for days we have the hearing

Tomorrow morning if we lose chief okuku will walk away and our firm’s name will be dragged through the mud ioma wanted to hug him but she remembered they had no time for comfort we can still stop him she said we’ll show the the judge the real papers not the ones dare tampered with you need to bring these genuine documents to court we’ll also keep dar’s notebook in case we need to prove he was behind everything ibin nodded slowly as if trying to gather the strength to fight back let’s do it he said at last first we need to fix the

Final witness statements so the court has the right information he glanced at the clock which read close to midnight then he looked at ioma with tired eyes i guess we’re pulling an all night they worked side by side at the table scanning pages correcting errors and printing clean copies ioma texted leake telling her to stay alert the next day and to be ready in case d tried anything else by 3: in the morning iuin finally had a stack of untainted documents he looked at ioma and took her hand thank you he said softly without you we would

Have walked straight into a trap at dawn they drove to the courthouse the sun rose above lagos lighting up the busy streets ioma carried a sealed folder of the corrected files and abin held dar’s notebook in his briefcase when they reached the courthouse entrance they saw chief okach chuko waiting he wore a serious look on his face i heard about some trouble with my papers he said in a gruff tone you had better be ready ibin ibin kept his voice steady sir we discovered attempts to mess with your case but we’ve put it right i promise

You our team will defend your interests fully chief okuku gave a slow nod though he seemed uneasy i hope so he muttered i’ve poured a lot of money into this dispute i can’t afford silly mistakes before ibin could reply dare approached them he gave ioma a quick suspicious look then turned his attention to ibin good morning he said forcing a smile i trust were all prepared ibin looked him straight in the eye we’re ready aoma noticed dar’s gaze flick toward the brief case she guessed he feared ibin might have discovered his secrets inside

The courtroom the judge took her seat and called the case to order ibin presented the fresh documents speaking clearly and calmly d stood beside him looking tense but trying to hide it the opposing council tried to argue that adi and company had filed inc correct statements earlier but ibin explained that those versions were false he held up the correct ones showing dates and signatures that matched the original client contracts the judge frowned shuffling through the papers why were there two sets of statements she asked

Iban’s voice did not shake someone in our firm deliberately switched them but we uncovered the real ones last night the judge’s eyebrows shot up that’s a serious accusation mr admy do you have proof at that moment ioma noticed d take a step back as if ready to slip away she locked eyes with him warning him that she was watching ibin reached into his briefcase i do have proof your honor he said pulling out dar’s notebook and flipping to the pages with instructions about changing the court date and editing the witness list dar’s face went

Pale the judge examined the notebook carefully then looked at dare sir can you explain this she asked dar’s voice cracked these notes they’re not mine they must have been planted he glanced around desperate for support but none of the lawyers seemed eager to defend him even toyosi who stood at the back looked down at his shoes unwilling to speak chief okuku glared at dare planted this is your handwriting dare i’ve seen it on other documents don’t lie to my face darare stumbled over his words but the judge raised to hand enough she said

Firmly for now i will allow the correct documents this trial will proceed using mr adam’s papers the rest of the hearing moved quickly after that iban’s team argued the case with clear evidence by the time they finished the judge agreed to side with chief okuku ruling in his favor cheers of relief filled the room ibin turned to ioma and squeezed her hand gratefully she felt tears sting her eyes they had saved the firm but dar’s part in all this was still up in the air soon whispers spread through the courthouse

That dar’s sabotage would be investigated chief okuku approached debin giving him a firm handshake your firm nearly lost my trust he said but i see you’ve handled this wisely i’ll stay but only if you clean up your house i don’t want any more snakes in your firm ibin bowed his head you have my word sir as they walked into the hall way outside the courtroom dar suddenly lunged toward ibin he looked panicked please he said in a hushed voice i can explain i didn’t mean for it to go this far iban’s jaw tightened you tried to ruin the company

I built he said quietly but we treated you like family dar’s eyes darted left and right i felt like you didn’t appreciate my ideas i wanted to force change to show you that your old ways would fail i never expected did this to blow up ioma shook her head struggling to hold back her anger you almost destroyed people’s lives just to prove a point dare hung his head unable to reply before dare could say another word security officers approached they had been informed about suspicious activity aoma felt no pity as they led dar away

She thought of all the fear worry and stress he had caused ibin side heavy with sadness i never wanted this he said but he left us no choice back at the firm a few hours later the mood was mixed people were relieved that the big client had won the case yet they felt betrayed by dar’s actions ibin called a quick meeting he addressed the staff with a firm voice some of you may have heard that dare was found sabotaging our work from now on we will enforce stricter checks on all documents if anyone notices anything unusual please

Speak up ibuka and leake both looked at ioma with grateful smiles they knew her courage had helped them avoid a huge disaster when the meeting ended ibin asked ioma to join him in his office he closed the door and took her hands in his i can’t thank you enough he said eyes full of warmth without you we’d have lost this case and maybe even the entire firm ioma felt relief flood her body i did it for us she said for everything we’ve built together ibin kissed her forehead softly grateful outside the window the sun shone bright

As if a weight had lifted from the entire building the staff returned to their work with a renewed sense of hope though scars remained they all knew the firm would stand stronger and as ioma left iban’s office she felt sure that by acting as a humble cleaner she had not only protected her husband’s dream but also uncovered the hidden truth that nearly tore adami and company apart
