The major changes in Melba's life began with her brother Richard's marriage to Jane and their immediate departure to fulfil Richard's work commitment abroad. Although Melba missed her brother, she was happy as she loved her job with a well-known car-making firm, and she enjoyed the challenges brought about by her boss, Wesley. Melba and Wesley's regard for one another was evident to all of their colleagues from the beginning and being his personal secretary meant that Melba worked closely side by side with Wesley. Their relationship flourished as their joint involvement in unexpected developments in the company's interests draws them together.
