"You did what?" Junior screamed. He couldn't believe what Elise was telling him"I agreed to be friends with Xavier" Elise saidJunior was confused about the whole thing"Elise, can you please go over what you told me again? It seems I missed something" Junior requestedElise repeated how Xavier had called her repeatedly on Saturday and how they had met up on Sunday, she told Junior what Xavier had said and her response"You agreed to hang out with him again because you feel he would play the same game his dad did" Junior stated"Exactly" Elise replied"Elise, I highly doubt that's what Xavier is up to. He knows he would fail miserably if he tried, I'm sure he's up to something else" Junior said"Well, we will never know what his plans are until I go out with him" Elise said"Are you sure there's no other way?" Junior asked"No. You don't have to worry about me, I can handle Xavier" Elise answeredJunior was worried and it was obvious from his appearance. His brow was furrowed, ind

"Xavier is engaged?" Junior asked "Yes" Jack answered"That family is really something else. Why would Xavier ask Elise out when he already has someone he intends to marry?" Junior asked"Why would Elise even agree to go out with him in the first place? I can't wrap my head around it" Jack said"He reached out to her and just like his father, Elise is convinced Xavier is up to something. I'm convinced of that as well, but I wasn't expecting this" Junior said"What do you guys think he's planning?" Jack asked"We have no idea. That's why Elise agreed to go out with him, she's convinced she'll figure it out" Junior said"And you didn't try to convince her otherwise?" Jack asked"Trust me, I did. But once Elise has her mind fixed on something, she won't rest until she gets it" Junior answered"That's true. Well, she's a strong woman and I believe she's capable of handling things on her own. But one can never tell with that family" Jack said"You're right. I already told her she should

"That was close!" Elise exclaimed "Yea it was" Junior concurredIt was the start of a new week and they were both sitting in Junior's office, he had just finished telling her about his encounter with Jasmine"Some people never change, I guess. Money seems to be the only language that can make them nice" Elise said"Yes and it's really sad" Junior said while shaking his head"By the way, I didn't know you like going to bars" Elise commented"I don't, not really. I prefer staying in door at weekends" Junior said"So this weekend was an exception then" Elise said"No. I went there for a reason" Junior said"And what's the reason?" Elise asked"I went there to meet with Bianca White" Junior answered"Who's Bianca White? Is she a new business partner?" Elise questioned"No. She's Xavier's fiancee" Junior statedElise couldn't believe what Junior just said, she was in shock, she was feeling so many emotions at the same time that she didn't know how to reactShe didn't say a word either,

It was the third day of the week And Elise was still acting weird around him. Junior didn't know what to thinkElise didn't respond to his texts, or emails, not unless they were work relatedHe had tried inviting her out for a drink after work, but she declined, she claimed she had plansHe decided that they grab lunch together at work, but she came up with another excuseAnd she didn't initiate contact either. If it wasn't work related, Elise didn't try to contact him Elise mostly seemed distant or disinterested when they were together and they had nothing work related to talk aboutAlso, she didn't make eye contact and seemed uncomfortable around him"Have I done something wrong? Or could it be that Elise was actually jealous? But why? Could it be that she was having the same conflicting feelings as he was?" Junior asked himself"Junior, are you available to discuss the new project?" Elise askedJunior, who was lost in his thoughts, slowly turned his head towards her. He had for

It was the D-Day Junior stood in front of his mirror to access his outfit once more. He had on a well-tailored suit that fits him perfectly, it wasn't as expensive as the Armani he had worn the other day, but it would doThe suit was a navy colored one and he had on a blazer and matching trousers. The Blazer had a structured silhouette and was buttoned up Inside, he wore a crisp, long-sleeved dress shirt made of high-quality cotton. The color of the shirt was a classic shade of light blueThe shirt was neatly tucked into his trousers, and his cuffs were fastened with cufflinks for an added touch of sophisticationJunior rearranged his tie. It was a silk-blend tie that complements the colors of his suit and shirt and was tied in a neat and professional knot, and was just the right length, reaching the top of his trousers' waistbandHe wore tailored trousers that matched his suit jacket, and was a straight fit. It was worn at his natural waist and was neither too tight or too loose.
