Alex was at Jason's house before the break of dawn for the work he had for the day. Jason told him that he would not be having so much time after school and that it would be better if they did their work in the morning before he headed for school.It meant that he had to wake up early. He had not been having enough sleep because he spent most of his time speaking with Beverly over the phone. It was weird to sit in her class and not smile at her.She had noticed him smile at her on two occasions, but she was not responsive. She probably thought that he was just some keen student who liked her teaching.They were soon done with their work, and Jason began to get ready for school. Alex helped him order some breakfast, and soon, they were on their way to school.Alex looked at Jason from the side of his eyes as he typed furiously and excitedly on his phone, like he was hungry for something.He had noticed for a fortnight now, that Jason was always on his phone. It was only fair that he

When Jason saw Beverly in school the next day and waved at her, he wished that she knew that she had seen him just as she wanted. He had told her last night that he would soon make it into the country as he was just away for business abroad. She had agreed that they would meet up in the summer. Jason agreed to it. He had a long time before summer to think of what to say to her. She did not wave back at him when he waved, and he sensed that her countenance was not right. He decided that he was eventually going to find out, but she was not willing to give him a chance to speak to her.It was soon time for her class, and she was still not in a good mood. She tried to avoid his eyes and focus on her teaching. Not once did she bother to glance his way, and it was disturbing to him."Did you both have a fight?" Caleb asked as he noticed the tension between them."I'm confused," Jason said. "Are you sure that she has not found out that you are Damian?" Caleb asked."I don't think so, b

As the day of the party drew closer, Jason was suddenly nervous. He was not sure he was ready to become chairman with the livelihood of over seventy thousand employees in his hands. Preparations were going on, and their house was a beehive of activities. His father wanted everything to be perfect, but Emilia took the work into her own hands. She hired ten event planners, excluding their designers. She hired a team of designers to style her, her husband, and her children. She was not thinking about Jason, who was the star of the occasion, or she just wanted to ignore him. He had met her son on two separate occasions, and they had been cool with each other, but she was not in support of their relationship. She always scolded him when she saw her son talking to him, but Jacob, her son, thought that Jason was a good role model, juggling work and school together.On the other hand, Miranda, her daughter, had a silly crush on him, and she had approached him on one occasion and told him

Jason was taken aback by Cecilia's presence. He knew that her parents were quite influential but he did not know them in person. This coincidence was one that he was not prepared for but he did not let the smile disappear from her face. "Jason, I hear that you and Cecilia go to the same college," her father began."I guess I have seen her face once or twice in school," Jason replied. "You know, I don't need to have so many friends at school because of work," he added and they all laughed. "Can you believe that Cecilia was once dating a broke boy that could barely take care of her?" Her father continued. There was an amused expression on Jason's face as he looked at Cecilia who seemed a bit embarrassed at that moment."Everyone rises someday," Jason said. "You should not have underestimated the young man," he added."I guess that is too late now because she ended things with him, and she has been saying that she likes you a lot," her father continued."At what point do you open you

Jason's head was still spinning when he finished his morning meeting. Luckily for him, it was a virtual one, and he could take breaks at intervals. He had woken up with a little headache, but he still insisted on getting ready for work because of the meeting very early in the morning.He lay on the sofa in his office and shut his eyes to see if his headache could be reduced. Alex came in just then. He had noticed how incapacitated Jason had been since he came to get him from home."Are you okay, sir?" Alex asked him as he reached out to feel Jason's forehead. He was surprised that he was already running a fever. "I will call the doctor right away," he said as he proceeded to make the call."Don't worry about that," Jason said firmly. He had a big meeting later in the day, one that he could not afford to miss. "Just get me some painkillers and some fruit juice," he said. Even though Alex knew that it was not the best decision, he had decided that he would not question Jason's decis
