“So I was thinking, after dinner can we go to my place and hang out a little more?” she sent him a sexy smile while putting her hand over his. She felt his hand stiffen and suddenly become cold.“I’m sorry,” he sighed, taking back his hand from under her own. “But I’ll have to decline that offer.”She was taken aback by his words. Had she not been good enough for him the last time they had done it? Had he found someone better or was he not into her?So many questions raged through her head as she recoiled her hands to her lap.“I have to get an early start tomorrow as I’ve got a ton of work at the office,” he went on to explain.Jennie was not pleased to hear that one bit and she tried to hide her disappointment. He didn’t even try to promise that there would be a next time as she was sure he wasn’t into her as she had earlier thought.Maybe her mother was wrong to think he was shy and not wanting to express his feelings for her. He had his mind set on something else and she had to fi

Michael started to have a flashback based on one of his childhood memories. About how he had felt extremely betrayed on finding out that his younger brother had been made the CEO of the company.Growing up with his younger brother, he hated how his brother would be praised for so many things no matter how silly or ridiculous they would be.It got him angry every single day as he tried his best a couple of times to match up to the expectations of his parents but it never turned out well.The funny thing about the things he usually did was that if he did it, it was wrong or expected of him and as such it was ordinary, but if his brother was to do the same thing, it would be praised and he would be used as an example to him. He had tried doing so many things which would have earned his parents approval to no avail. His brother was the wanted child while he was either the black sheep or the prodigal son who returned after every mistake.It always pained him to watch his brother being pra

Richardson had breakfast with his grandfather while they both prepared for work.They had on their suits while they ate in the dining room with the television playing the news on mute while opera music played in the background.It was the kind of life people would see on television and pray to have. It was a wonderful life to live, Richardson thought to himself as he picked up a lobster to feast on.Mary wasn’t joining them as she was still in bed. She had nothing to do but sleep and eat. She only needed to focus on her health and getting her memories back so Tom was helping her do that.It wasn’t going as planned but it was a plan nonetheless.“How has work been?” Damien asked, trying to start up a conversation as he distracted Richardson from his thoughts.“Uhhh… it’s been great,” the heir replied stuffing his mouth with more lobsters. He had been caught off guard by his grandfather and he knew where the man wanted the conversation to lead to. He had to avoid going there with the ol

“I asked you a goddamn question,” he bawled, his hands on the table but they were balled into fists.“I-I tried to warn him sir but…”“This was the exact reason I fired the last lady at your desk. You have one job. One fucking job and you’re failing at it. Don’t get me pissed. I already have enough problems of my own.”“I apologize sir.”“I can’t be doing my job and your job at the same time. If you can’t do it you tell me and I will find someone else who can while you focus on something else.”The lady had nothing to say after this as she had her head bowed.“This will be the last time you will let anyone that isn’t me get into my office. The next time you do, you’ll be out on the streets looking for another place to get hired at.” The heir warned gravely as the woman trembled where she stood.“Forgive me sir,” she pleaded. “I really tried to talk to Sir Dominic but I got threatened by him. I had no choice but to let him in.”He gritted his teeth. For Dominic to have access to his of

Jennie looked at the crowd as they walked around the mall. She had entered the mall to get something for her mother who was paying for it by the way with her own money.She had been called out by the woman even when the young lady had not been in the mood to leave. It had been a forceful outing but she had no choice but to do what her mother was asking her to do.“So, I take it that as you’re silent it didn’t go as planned,” the woman said while they settled into a bench by an artificial garden. Jennie had her mouth taped shut. She didn’t want to say anything to her mother who she knew was already disappointed in her.“Come on,” the old woman smiled. “Let me know. What happened? And tell me everything. Don’t hide anything from me. I’m your mother. I’ll find out later on. What happened?”Jennie took in deep breaths, looking around to make sure no one was going to overhear her conversation with her mother as she explained what has happened and how it had all gone down.She started from
