Beverly seemed more enthusiastic about meeting up with their new clients than Jason was. Her dedication to her job showed so much in her extent of selflessness. She was at Jason's door an hour before the meeting. She did not think that it was appropriate for her to go to his room. She thought that he might meet her at the lobby late, and she had some things she needed to put together first for their pitch in the meeting. She tapped softly on the door and Jason opened up immediately. He was shirtless and only had his slacks on. They hung loosely around his waist, as he did not have any belts on yet. "Can you at least put on some clothes?" She asked him. He tried to stifle laughter as he made way for her to step inside. Somehow, he felt like she was just putting up a hard side towards him, so he would not take her vulnerability on the plane to heart. As she stepped in, her body brushed against his and she felt goosebumps afresh. She wondered what made her feel that way towards hi

Jason was still thinking of Beverly's quick move on him as he sat on the plane, heading back home. Never in his life did he think that he was going to refuse an advance that came to him. He still remembered how her lips felt against his, and how gentle she had been with him. She took his hand herself and placed it around her waist, making him touch her. But his mind was still at work even in that situation. There was a level of self-control that he possessed that was beyond words. He had disentangled himself from her immediately and looked into her lust-filled eyes. Nothing stopped him from placing her against the wall and pounding hard into her, but he did not think that it was right at all. "We are more than this, Berv," he said. "I don't understand," she replied, still feeling embarrassed that he did not seem interested. "We are more than all these people hiding to do things behind Lucas' back," he stated clearly. "But he is not here and he would never know about it," she

Jason was still dishing out some instructions to his new assistant when he saw his phone ring. He looked at it and it was Beverly.  He smiled, as he thought she did not want to speak to him. She had been ignoring him so much, and she thought that he was still offended by her.  But when he picked up the phone and heard her cry for help, it alarmed him.  He did not know what was wrong, but he knew that if she had called him, then she was in trouble.  He soon connected the dots. Lucas had probably hit her again, and from the way she sounded, it was bad this time.  "Are you okay, Sir?" Anthony, his new assistant, asked him. 

As soon as he got out of the hospital building, Jason began to call the Chief frantically.  He finally answered. Some noise in the background suggested that they were still at the crime scene.  "Can you send me an address?" Jason asked him. "That would not be necessary," he replied. "You can just meet me at the station," the chief suggested.  "Was it so easy?" Jason asked, surprised that they were already heading to the station. All the while, he thought that Lucas was a hard nut to crack.  "You would not believe that it was not so hard," the chief said. "For someone who was intent on a kidnap, I expected him to do better." <

"How did you learn to do that?" Jason asked as he looked at what age had just done. It was unbelievable, as he did not think that she was capable of pulling off something like that. "I work with accounting," she said curtly. All the while, he thought that she had not gone through college. "What company do you work for?" He asked her enthusiastically. She looked at him as though he had something on his face before she burst out laughing, leaving him more confused than ever. "I don't work for a company. I would need a college degree to do that," she finally answered. Jason was honestly surprised. "So who do you work for?" He insisted. "I am a volunteer at an NGO that looks out for abused mothers and children, so I run their numbers financially," she answered. "When they asked what they could do for me in return, I asked for them to send my elder brother to college," she continued. Jason did not know if she was human anymore. She was so selfless that he wondered if she had ever bo
