"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
"Where are you going to after here?" She finally broke out.He paused, turning to her in surprise. "Why?""Can I have a moment with you?""No" he objected coldly, walking away.She walked faster to catch up with him and held his suit. "Please""Do you want a kiss? What? Do I have to call the Reporters and kiss you publicly?""I'm serious, Mr Jason""Do I sound drunk? So am I" he responded and walked away."It broke me much more than it did to you!" She shouted in a teary voice. "I can't say I've fully recovered from her loss, neither can I assure myself that I will be fine. It hurts, Jason. It hurts so much that I prefer living in ignorance and resentment towards her" she expressed as tears flowed down her cheeks.He took her hands and put her inside the car."Drive!" He ordered Nathan.He took her to his hotel, dragging her to his room like a mother will do to her child.Imme
"Tell me, what happened last night?""Really, Nathan? What do you think of me?"Nathan laughed as he helped him button his shirt. "You are young, Jason. You should enjoy love""Trying to sound like my father, huh? What about you? You know so much about love?""What do you mean? Do you take Chairman Malcolm and I for granted?"Jason punched him playfully. "Fuck you""I may not so much about love but I have witnessed true love and I can tell you for free that it is a beautiful thing""Eww! You don't have to be so formal about it""Tell me, did you kiss her? What happened?""I'm very excited to disappoint you. Nothing happened, Nathan. Can we go now?""Argh! That is so disappointing!""I know right? It pleases me so much to disappoint you greatly""You love her don't you?""No! And I want us to stop having conversations like this about Lily. I do not feel anything for Li
"You pulled another great stunt, Lily. This is huge!" Nathan commended.She laughed. "I didn't just pull this myself""But you worked hard for this"She smiled as they listened to the soft and low music playing in the background. The day wa finally here. The day were NX store and Kentons company will be publicly announced as partners. The guests had began to troop in, the event was just getting started and she could feel it's success already."Martins is here" she whispered. "I have to catch up with Jason, I will see you later" she patted his shoulders and ran away."Sure"After her rummaging her eyes around the hall in search of Jason, she ran to the entrance, standing behind the Reporters as they turned on their cameras, waiting for Martins to step out of his car and walk into the hall.Immediately Martins walked past her, she felt angry suddenly. The man who killed her mother was living freely, attends social gatherings, and even smiles at the camera but she the victim, was being d
