The Judge stroke the gavel against a hard surface which signals for order and quiet in the courtroom.
"Call an ambulance or the nurses. We shall continue after recess" The Judge announced."What?! He's awake!" Someone from the public announced, pointing his finger at the Attorney's desk.Mr Grey rose to his feet, dusting off his pants and shirts.Nathan relieved a sigh. "Ah, Jeez! How can we trust someone who gave up on his career 2 years ago?!" He complained to Jason."I'm sorry, Your Honor, I feel unconscious for a while after taking my meds, it's an after-effect. I'm fine now" he assured.They all took their seats, a bit assured."Your Honor, I will love to share my presentation using visuals and solid evidence""Go on"He walked up to the projector and connected his laptop to the Projector and returned his seat. He turned on his laptop and opened a slide presentation. "You see, Your Honor, on the dThe agreed date of the hearing finally came and both teams were ready for the war.Jason adjusted his suit as he admired himself at the long mirror before him. Nathan patted his shoulders a little and adjusted it. "What other surprise awaits us today?""Is our success gonna come as a shock to you?""Not one bit" he responded, shaking his head."Let's go" he whispered.As they arrived outside, Mr Grey stood by his car, waiting for them. "Good day, Mr Jason" he greeted, opening the door for him to enter his car."Hello Mr Grey" Jason greeted with a bright smile.****"I did not consider you as someone who holds on to people for long" Vivian stated at the sight of Mr Grey behind him."Why? Because we divorced?"Nathan folded his lips, stifling his laughter, following Jason behind as they walked into the courtroom."I hope you have taken your medications and drank enough water?" The Judge asked Mr Grey, immediately he took his seat.Mr Grey smiled and nodded. "Yes, Your Honor""Let's beg
Jason smiled, of course he was bound to win. He gave Mr Grey a thumbs up and walked up to his grandfather."Congratulations" he whispered with a smile."Thank you Chairman Malcolm" he greeted with a little bow."Great job, Nathan" he commended."What?" Nathan chuckled and continued. "Mr Jason did all the work but thank you, sir"Chairman Malcolm smiled and walked away."Whoa! Congratulations, Mr Jason, didn't expect you to pull that off" Nathan congratulated.Jason chuckled. "Thank you, Lily for accepting to be my witness""Oh, its nothing. Congratulations, Mr Jason."He smiled and nodded.Vivian scoffed, walking up to him. "I guess I undermined your capabilities. When did you grow to be this smart, Cash?"Jason laughed as they walked out of the courtroom. "Cash is not smart, he doesn't know what it takes to be smart but Jason is because for a little while, he spent some time with someone who has a dangerous mindset"Vivian frowned, she didn't find it funny. "You don't have to brag af
"Hello, Mother" Jason greeted with a little wave, walking into Kristine's room."What are you doing here?" She asked angrily.He smiled instead. "Come on! You don't have to be so worried, I mean no harm""I don't care about your intentions, leave" she warned."Aww! Poor Kristine, I thought you were gonna age like a fine wine. Gosh! You didn't have to age like a beer. Come on! You can do better" he expressed, pouting his lips in a funny expression."Let me guess, you won the case?"Jason smiled. "Vivian has not been here" he whispered, taking a seat close to her bed. He nodded happily like a child. "You are proud, ain't you?"Kristine turned her face away."Come on! A mother is supposed to be proud of her son" he cried out, feigning anger and pouting like a child.Kristine glared at him. "I can never give birth to an ingrate like you""Aww! I guess Vivian worships you every night and offers sacr
"Let's go, I guess I'm done here" Jason whispered, walking out of the hospital."This is a risky attempt. Why will you visit Dame Kristine? What if there are security cameras around?" Nathan whispered nervously, following him into his car."Is the hall ready? Where are we having the dinner?" Jason quizzed, ignoring him."I invited Lily"Jason paused, his hand poised on the door's handle. "You did what?" "Come on....I mean....uhm...." He paused, took a deep breath and continued. "I just thought it was nice to have her around you""What do you mean, Lily Benson is my COO? Why should she be given so much preferential treatment?""You already gave her special treatment, especially when you promoted her to be your COO""Goddamnit!" He exclaimed. "Because she deserves it"Nathan scoffed and entered the car. "What could Cash Morgan probably know about what it takes to be a COO?""I can hear you!"
"Mom!" Vivian exclaimed."What is wrong with you, Vivian?""Nothing. I just think we should take this slowly. We're talking about Chairman Malcolm, Mom! It might land us in huge trouble"Kristine rolled her eyes at Justin who was standing beside her and back to Vivian. "Permit me to say this, Justin, why do I feel like you're not over Jason?" Kristine asked, referring to Vivian."I was never over him!" She defended."Then why are we having this conversation?""Mom!" She cried out. "Cash is the enemy here, why should we involve Chairman Malcolm? It's dangerous! Chairman Malcolm is greater than Jason, you think we can just walk into his mansion and place a gun on his forehead?"Justin held her hands, turning her to face him. "I understand you're scared but we got this""No!" She objected, fighting against his grip. "We do not have what it takes to do that""We might, how do we know if we do not try?"
They met at the airport the following morning. Nathan walked in with Jason Yates."Hello Miss Lily" Nathan greeted with a little wave"Hi" she responded, a little shy. "I'm glad you're coming with us""Uh....nah. I've got a lot to do""Ugh""Thank you for agreeing to...""Let's go" Jason ordered, cutting him short."For agreeing to come with him" he whispered to Lily.Lily stifled her daughter and followed Jason behind. She turned and waved at Nathan. She wore a cream colored baggy denim pants, a lilac sweatshirt and a lilac converse shoes. Her long and wavy brunette hair dangled on her shoulders."Told you to leave your luggages behind, why are you with so much bags?" He nagged, referring to the bags she was holding.Lily turned to her left hand, it was just a small luggage for her cosmetics and of course a hand bag! "I mean, which lady travels without a luggage?"she wondered."Welcome ma'am, please may I have your luggage?" The flight attendant suggested."Sure" Lily whispered an
"I'm allergic to male's touch!" She screamed with her eyes closed.Henry flinched. "Really?"She nodded."Oh, I was just tryna remove your hair from this so that you don't get stuck""Oh....thank you" she muttered, embarrassed and pissed at herself for lying."Can I? I will be careful"She nodded, bowing her head in shame.He chuckled. "Come on! I don't bite"She chuckled embarrassingly."Say the word and he will be all yours" Jason whispered to her ears.Lily flinched. "Oh, my! You startled me....sir""I'm curious, what's your kind of man interests you? I once thought you had a huge crush on Nathan, then maybe I thought it was George because you guys work together, now it's Henry?"Lily frowned at him and walked away."Wait! I didn't mean to make you upset!" But she was gone already. After lunch at the hotel, some dresses were brought to her room to select her favorite. Immediately her alarm rang at 6;30pm, she dashed into the bathroom and dashed out some minutes later. She remov
For a while, Jason was silent."I know I'm a lowlife and I don't deserve to fall in love with him. Ugh! Am I wrong to miss his poor self? I guess I'm selfish" she nagged like a child.Jason bent and pulled out her shoes. "Why not confess to this Jason guy?"She chuckled and shook her head. "He's above my league""What'd you mean? You knew him long before now"She smiled. "I'm selfish, nevermind. He doesn't even want me. He recommends me to others""Maybe that's because he cares about you""If he really cares about me then he should stop running around looking for the 'one' for me and listen to my heartbeat, maybe he might hear how much my heart cries for him'"His hands were poised on the duvet. "Go to sleep, you're drunk" he whispered and covered her."You're selfish, Lily""Stop calling yourself selfish and go to sleep!" He warned.*******"Jason is out of town, he's in Berl
