It was a great night, a really great night. May and Martins had just became close as they sat opposite each other, looking through their eyes, studying their capabilities, fire and will power, each sipping wine from their champagne glasses. Martins decision to make May his Attorney was a risky move. He was literally risking his mother's life and his final decision to end Jason for good. May on the other hand had nothing to lose. Although, winning Martins on her side was a plus one but it wasn't going to be a great loss if he decides to leave her anyways. She was doing well before she met him, she only admired the fact that he was very daring. It was a great night for Lily. She was just planning one of the biggest project of her life and the death of her mother was broken to her like slices of bread. What was more frustrating was that she had to go to work the following morning, wearing a smile and assigning tasks as usual. She hated the attention from her colleagues an
Standing from a distance, her expression was very obvious. Jason could see it and he was sure other staffs could as well. He wanted to take few steps closer to hold her hands but that will stir rumors."What's this about?" She finally broke out."We heard about your mother's loss and we're sorry" one of the staffs in the crowd explained.She chuckled, trying so hard to hold back her tears. "Who..." She paused and took a deep breath. "How did...""Take it down, now. If you capture any pictures or videos, consider it your last time working with us" Jason ordered from behind her. "No one staff under any circumstance is allowed to throw a surprise at any staff without his/her consent. Where's your manager""Sir""Meet me in my office, now" he commanded and walked away."I must let you understand that if we find these pictures anywhere, everyone of you present today will be dismissed" Nathan threatened, taking Lily's hands."What are you doing?" She whispered, following him."Obeying Jason
"Wh....what are you talking about?" She nervously asked, taking a step back.He shook his head, his eyes still fixated on her. "I bet not. My thoughts might be messing up with me. Let's go" he broke out, grabbing his jacket."Did you listen to me?""I heard all you said, Lily but I refuse to listen""Why not?""Because I'm your boss and I can do whatever I want""More people will be in danger""Allow me to worry about that. Are you gonna spend the day here? I don't know but I think it will be soothing coming back to meet a beautiful lady who has been waiting for me the entire day. Quite unrelatable but I can guess the feeling""Stop dreaming, Mr Jason""Are you coming with us?""Why not? Not sure I can afford the ride from here""They will be lots of people. You really don't mind?"She made an abrupt stop and turned to him. "Have you ever thought about why Martins decided to kill Miriam and not Chairman Malcolm?""Because I was more attached to her?"She shook her head. "That inclusiv
"What makes him so confident?" Martins rhetorically asked.May smiled. "You aged wonderfully, Jason" she muttered under her breath."What do you say? Do we need to guard ourselves?" He turned and asked her."Of course, why not? I mean, you think he was just making an empty threat? Jason sounds determined, so yes, I advice that we guard ourselves and get ready for any blow from him""What do you think he might do?""Bring down Shin Bank? He sounds like he has intentions of bringing down what you value most"He scoffed and began to walk away. "Let's see what he got""You should not undermine Jason, Mr Martins""Chairman Martins" he corrected.She scoffed amusingly. Was that more important than her point? She wondered. The sudden beep from her phone made her pause. A smile became evident in her face as she read the message."You are one crazy determined soul. Well-done, George" she complimented and returned her phone to her bag, trying to catch up with Martins who was almost leaving.**
"What do you mean by you're not ready for this conversation? Is there something I need to know? Am I missing out on something? What's your relationship with Kristine?" He shouted, running to catch up with Malcolm."And I said, I'm not ready for this conversation! Besides, when did you start visiting without a notice?""What?" He asked, panting softly."I'm your grandfather, I should be given that respect""I got some information about Kristine's visit, so I had to rush down here""Who was it? Nathan? You're stalking me now?""Stop trying to change the conversation" he warned in an authoritative tone."Jason, you should leave. I need to have some time for myself""You know I'm not asking you about this but I actually give a fuck right?"Malcolm looked up to him in surprise."I don't care about your past or mistakes, Chairman Malcolm. I don't care if all of these is a lie or if you killed my parents, I don't care, all I care about is how this is going to affect me. Should I be worried?"
"Damn!" Whispered, Nathan."Who do you think this might be?"Jason slammed his fist on her table and walked away angrily."Jason..... Mr Jason" he called out, about to run after him and then he turned and noticed Lily who waws crying all by herself. He turned to her door and then to her. He wasn't sure who to go after. His boss or Lily."Jason can handle himself" he thought to himself, turning to her. "Miss Lily, we are sorry""Leave, please. I wish to be alone"He bent down and began to pick stuffs and arranged them around her office. "You think you really take the punches?" He scoffed and continue. "I will tell you something for free. Jason is the most nonchalant soul one can ever meet but you obviously cannot notice because you share a good relationship. I will tell you another. Jason gives permission to things that hurt him. Why do you think he bothered to go to the courthouse that day? He has no business with Shin Bank. Even
"Chairman Jason!" George called out desperately, stopping Jason the following morning.Jason turned his wrist to check the time. "You have just one hour left. Meet me in my office" he ordered and walked away.Nathan winked at him, following Jason."What was that? Chairman Jason? Is he trying to bribe me or something? Until today, he has always addressed me as Mr Jason""Enjoy the moment""Hello Mr Jason" Grey greeted as soon as Jason walked into his office."Grey....what are you doing here?""Oh, Miss Lily asked me to present this proposal for the event we have with NX store. Their Project Manager sent some Project plans, we gave our inputs but we want you to examine it before sending it out""Lily? Why is it a hard copy? It should have been sent to my mails""Miss Lily said you hardly check your mails""And where's this Lily?""She left for the factory. We got more orders, she had to
"Why is Jason suddenly silent? Did he say those words just to scare me? I bet not" Martins thought out loud, spinning his chair slowly.May sighed as she crossed her legs, seated opposite Martins. "I think you are worrying a lot about it""Worry? Did you say worry? May, I do not want to assume that you are intentionally trying to hide facts about him. I am fully aware of his capabilities and his deeds so far. Might not be a lot but it's a proof that Jason is no human"She bit her lower lips and wore a smile. "I know Jason more than you think I do""Tell me, what is he like? Did he make that statement to scare me? Do you think he's up to something?"She paused and gave it a thought. "Can I share my thoughts with you?"He nodded desperately, moving his body closer to the table. "Actually....now that I think about it, Jason has never been this quiet for a long while. He's like a child, he acts quickly without delay. His ac
