Jack was unusually quiet. Vanessa and Jack sat in the back of the car while Donald drove to the hotel. Raymond had instructed Jack to meet with him."Hey. Are you okay? You've been awfully quiet." Vanessa noted."Yea, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind." Jack replied."Do you want to talk about it?" Vanessa asked. Jack hesitated."It's okay if you don't," Vanessa said."I'm really nervous about meeting Mr Morris. He used to intimidate me so much." Jack said truthfully."I understand why you feel that way, but I think you'll be okay. It's been a while since you've seen him, right?" Vanessa asked."Yeah, it has been a while, but I still remember how he used to make me feel. He was always so aggressive and dismissive." Jack said."I can relate. He was the same way with my family before we finally escaped from his grip. I get that, but try to remember that you're not the same person you were back then. You've grown and changed, and you don't have to feel intimidated anymo

"Not again!" Vanessa said out loud. Her phone rang for the tenth time that morning, and she was already fed up.It was the weekend, and she decided to help her parents out at the pastry shop. Everything had been going well until a particular number kept calling repeatedly.Vanessa decided not to pick up after the person had called the first two times. She assumed the person would get the memo that she was busy and would return the calls later, but the person didn't.Vanessa held her phone and watched it ring. She was contemplating if she should pick up the call when the customer in front of her spoke up."Excuse me, can I pay for my purchase?" The customer said.Vanessa quickly looked up from her phone."Oh, yes, sorry about that. How can I help you?"

Let me ring up your items, " Vanessa responded.The customer handed Vanessa her goods, and after costing it

"Jude!?” What do you want?" Vanessa asked. He was the last person she expected a call from."Hi, it's me. Can we talk?" Jude asked."I don't really want to talk to you right now." Vanessa responded."Please, just hear me out. I know things didn't end well between us, and the last time we saw each other, it wasn't under the best of circumstances, but I need to talk to you." Jude said."I don't think there's anything left to say," Vanessa replied."I understand that, but I just want to apologize for everything that happened. I messed up, and I'm sorry." Jude responded."I appreciate the apology, but it doesn't change anything," Vanessa said ."I know, but I want to make things right between us. Can we at least talk about it?" Jude asked."I don't think it's a good idea. I don't think you should even be talking to me right now, considering the way things are between your family and the company I work, " Vanessa said"I understand that, but I just need to know that we're okay

Armand turned his chair so fast to look at the source of the voice that he almost fell off."What!?" Armand asked."I said, who aren't you jealous of?" Jack repeated the question he had asked and walked into Armand's office.Armand didn't know what to respond. He could deny and say that Jack heard wrongly, but he was sure Jack would not buy it.Armand didn't know what to do. He suddenly felt embarrassed and self-conscious for being caught while soliloquizing.Armand considered apologizing, but then, why should he apologize to Jack for walking in on him while he was having a moment alone?Would humour work? Armand thought about trying to make light of the situation by joking about it or making a self-deprecating comment, but his brain felt empty, so he decided to use another approach.Defense! Armand decided to become defensive and argue that talking to himself is not abnormal or that everyone does it from time to time."It doesn't matter who I'm not jealous of. I was having a

"Jude is engaged?" Armand asked. "Yes," Jack answered."That family is really something else. Why would Jude ask Vanessa out when he already has someone he intends to marry?" Armand asked."Why would Vanessa 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, Vanessa is convinced Jude is up to something. I'm convinced of that as well, but I wasn't expecting this, " Armand said."What do you guys think he's planning?" Jack asked."We have no idea. That's why Vanessa agreed to go out with him. She's convinced she'll figure it out, " Armand said."And you didn't try to convince her otherwise?" Jack asked."Trust me, I did. But once Vanessa has her mind fixed on something, she won't rest until she gets it, " Armand 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. ""You're right. I a

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

You look worried, " Vanessa's secretary said.Vanessa didn't know what to say at first.

We had a setback with the new project we're working on, " Vanessa said."I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?" Her secretary asked."We received some unexpected news from the client, and now we have to change our approach to the project," Vanessa responded."Oh
