Jason smiled to himself and took another sip.
"You're lying ain't you? I saw you laugh just now?" She probed, moving closer to him to see his face"What? Don't come any closer, I might" he paused and turned to her, wearing a smile."Woah! When did you become like this?""What? What do you mean?""You suck at lying""I'm not lying""Ouu! I can see it. Your ear turns red when you lie""What? Really?" He whispered, dropped the mug of coffee on the table and walked up to his mirror."See?""Mr Jason, have you seen Miss....what? You spent the night here?!" Henry asked in shock, running to her."Uh...it's not what you think, Mr Hen....""It's everything you think, Henry" Jason cut in, standing beside her.She used her hand to push him in a unnoticeable way."Do you have any problem with that?""Oh, no, no. I was just a little worried. Breakfast is ready"<She heaved a sigh and walked up to the podium. "Ladies and gentlemen,What a spectacular evening of style and innovation we've experienced tonight! As the Chief Operating Officer of Kentons company, I am truly honored to stand before you, surrounded by the dazzling creations and exceptional talent that graced our runway."""Hm, does she have to be that loud about being the COO?" Vivian scoffed"Tonight's runway show was not just about showcasing garments; it was a celebration of creativity, a fusion of art and fashion that reflects the dynamic spirit of our brand. Our designers poured their passion into every stitch, and our models brought those designs to life with elegance and grace.I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire Kentons company's team, from the designers and models to our dedicated staff behind the scenes. Your commitment and creativity have elevated this event to new heights, making it a memorable showcase of
"You know you have to be interviewed by the Journalists coming today, yeah?" Jason reminded as soon as Lily walked into his office."You got lots of gifts. Wow! Are you doing these away? I can have some for myself" Nathan blabbed, walking into Jason's office."Nope, I will keep all of these. There are the first set of gifts I'm receiving, you can't take them away""Woah! I thought you were exaggerating when you told me last night that you received lots of gifts. Looks like you've got some fans""And anti-fans" he chipped in. "Go, you need to prepare for the interview" he ordered, turning to Lily."We need to have the interview together""What is she talking about, Nathan? I have a meeting in the next one hour""Yeah, the Journalists are also interested in you""Oh, goddamnit!""Sorry I didn't inform you earlier" Nathan apologized."Get going first, I'll join you soon" he assured."Why
"Vivian is crazy" Lily whispered."Nah, you ont have to worry about that. I'm enjoying the fun" he responded with a smile. "Prepare a meeting with the team members and get back to me soon and yes, ensure I'll be free that day. You can meet Nathan to help you with that"She nodded and turned to leave. "Sure, I will do that sir"*****"What do you think Jason meant by letter?" Kristine whispered."Oh, fuck! Jason got us again!" Vivian cried out, sinking on the chair."This was just a test, May was trying to see his capabilities. Looks like we undermined him but I guess it's high time we guard ourselves properly" Justin tried to assure, holding Vivian's shoulders.Vivian glared at him. "Get your hands off me""Come on babe, how long are you gonna keep doing this?" He whispered, crouching down to her."Leave" she warned.He tucked her hair behind her ears. "You know I will never choose another over
"What do you mean tampered?!" Nathan questioned turning to Lily.Lily was silent, she was panting while fixing her gaze on Jason. She believed in his capabilities, she expected him to say something at least. Maybe call a suspect or work on an action plan."Mr Jason...we need you to say something" she pleaded hesitantly.He turned his gaze to her and scoffed at her audacity. "What time are the pickup deliveries supposed to start?" He turned and asked Nathan."9am"He chuckled softly. "13 hours from now." He smiled harder and twisted into a frown. "Really, Nathan? What happened to the assurance and promises?""This is my fault, I take the blame" Lily expressed.He scoffed. "Take the blame? What has that got to do with this? No, don't even try to apologize because it is as senseless as your actions"Lily held her breath and kept shut."Get back to the factory, call on the all employees to begin another pa
Nathan turned desperately to the staff. "What is it?""No, Mr Jason has to see this himself" he responded."This must be bad" Jason muttered to himself, removing his hands from his pockets and walking closer to the staff. "What is this about?"He turned his phone to Jason's face. Jason's brows were raised, he snatched the phone from him, rummaging through the feeds like he had lost something."Why is this happening?" He looked up and asked "What's going on?" Nathan questioned, scurrying towards them.Jason returned to his chair and sat before his laptop, he opened the Page's website and went through the comments."There are not even aware the orders were tampered, how can they be so impatient after delaying for an hour?!" Nathan quarrelled, standing behind Jason."So my convictions were right" Jason whispered"What? They even created an anti-fan's page. 1,000 comments? Woah! We've never had more than 1
Nathan gasped.Lily covered her mouth in shock."By Kristine, you mean Dame Kristine?" She stuttered."You must be cautious, Lily" he warned.She held her chest in fear, nodding nervously.He looked up to her with a sigh. He walked up to her and held her by her arms. "Hey, look at me" he sighed in frustration. "Lily Benson, get a grip!" He commanded in an authoritative tone."Let me handle this" Nathan chipped in, holding Jason's hand."Nah, let her be" he responded, his eyes fixed on her. "Lily Ann Benson, look at me, look here" he commanded, turning her face to his. "No one is coming after you, they're after the company and I understand you are worried but we will do anything to protect our staffs"She was silent. She only stared at him in lost like he was speaking a different language."Do you hear me?"She nodded softly. "Uh...I'm sorry, I need to get myself together" she apologized and wal
"Argh!" He winced more, throwing the papers on his table to the floor."Mom!""Jason"Jason held his ears in pains as the memories flash before his eyes.First he was very happy, then his heart began to race which followed by a screeching sound and boom!"Arghhhh! Shit!" He cursed, folding his hands tightly as his ears has gone red."Mr Jason" Nathan called out, running towards him."Fuck!" He cursed angrily"Mom!!!" His younger self cried out, standing before her grave with his grandfather patting his back gently."I will marry you" he recalled, professing to Vivian.Suddenly, the memories disappeared and he was back to his present self, panting hard like he has been running for a while."Mr Jason, are you okay?""Fuck those memories" he cursed"What's up""My memories, I think they're coming back but why does it appears so sudden and.... painful?"
"Are you still here, huh?" He asked, throwing a punch at him."You got a boyfriend already? Ouch! Your punches are...""You're still here?""In situations like this, you..." Jason gave him a punch, much harder than Nathan's. "You act, rather than talking" he held Leo's collar and gave him another punch on his cheek, and another and another till Leo grew weak and some of his teeth fell off his mouth."Argh! I'm letting you go because you stained my hand with your blood, leave" he commanded, irritated by the blood on his palms. "Got a towel?" He turned and asked Nathan.Nathan hurriedly presented a towel to him."Why did you visit him? Didn't consider it'll be dangerous for you?" He turned and asked her."It's non of your business. Thank you Mr Nathan for saving me""Did you fight again?" Nathan whispered to him.He winked at him and followed her behind. "You should have met Nathan at least"She
