Monday arrived soon. As the morning sun kissed the horizon, casting its warm, golden glow upon the world, Junior stood in front of his home, a sense of contentment and nostalgia washing over him. Dressed in his neatly pressed work attire, he couldn't help but smile as he reminisced about the beautiful weekend he had spent with Elise.The weekend had been a blissful escape from the hectic demands of their daily lives.With a dreamy look in his eyes, he absently grabbed his car keys and began to stroll towards the garage. Junior's heart swelled with affection as he replayed the moments they had spent exchanging playful banter as they discovered hidden nooks and crannies.His steps grew lighter as he recalled the joyous moments they had shared around. Junior marveled at the way Elise's eyes sparkled like the brightest constellations in the night sky, a reflection of the love and happiness they both felt.Reaching the garage, he paused to lean against the doorframe, his mind driftin
As Junior's eyes locked with Janet's, he braced himself for the inevitable confrontation.To his astonishment, however, Janet's demeanor was unlike anything he had experienced before. She seemed calm, almost composed, as if the fire that once fueled her bitter criticisms had been quenched."Junior," she said in a surprisingly soft tone, "I didn't mean to bump into you. I'm sorry."Junior's eyes narrowed slightly as he gauged her intentions. It was strange to see this side of her. Her apology sounded rehearsed, lacking the genuineness he had always longed for.Being the polite person he was, Junior decided not to engage in any conflict. He mustered a forced smile and replied, "No worries, Janet. Accidents happen.""It seems you just concluded your meeting with my husband and Jasmine. I must say, I didn't expect you to agree to work with us after everything that happened."Junior's eyes met hers, the emotions swirling within like a tempest. He chose his words carefully, "Well, it's just
It was the start of a new day. The sun appeared as a radiant orb. As it rose higher, it brought a sense of renewal and energy to the start of the day.Junior stood at his garage's doorway. He smelled the familiar, intoxicating blend of rich, earthy undertones, mingling with notes of leather, fuel, and a hint of polished metal. But today felt strange. He felt both excited and worried.He hadn't driven himself in a long while. Micah, who had turned out to be his ever-reliable driver, had been the one behind the wheel for countless journeys. Micah's expert hands guided the car on the roads with such accuracy that Junior was used to it. When Micah drove, the car felt like a part of him, smoothly moving through traffic like a well-practiced dance.But today was the day of the interview and Junior had granted Micah the day off. Junior knew this was his chance to reclaim the driver's seat, to rekindle the sensation of control that had slowly faded in his absence.With a deep breath, Juni
"A complaint?" Elise asked."Yes!" The lady replied.Elise's smile didn't waver as she nodded. "Of course, I'm here to help. What seems to be the problem?"The woman leaned in slightly, lowering her voice dramatically. "The cakes I bought earlier," she declared, "tasted absolutely terrible."Elise's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "I'm sorry to hear that. Could you tell me which cakes you're referring to? We usually take pride in the quality of our pastries."The lady leaned in even closer, as if sharing a secret. "The chocolate cupcakes, specifically. They were so bad, I couldn't even take another bite."Elise suppressed a chuckle, finding the lady's exaggerated complaint a bit amusing. "I apologize for the inconvenience. It's quite unusual for our chocolate cupcakes to disappoint, but I appreciate your feedback."Not easily deterred, the woman straightened her posture and cleared her throat. "That's not all. This bakery has never done a promotion or a giveaway. I think it's high time
"Tomorrow will arrive soon." Those were Elise's words the previous day after Junior had gotten off the phone with Jasper.Indeed, tomorrow did arrive soon. Junior decided to arrive at the first loan company, Gifted hands, before Jasper and Jasmine.He was waiting at the gate for them when they both arrived, looking at Jasmine, he could clearly tell she had dressed to impress him.She had on a well-fitted, tailored blazer and pencil skirt in a deep, rich red color.The blazer had a slightly low-cut V-neckline, revealing just a hint of skin, while maintaining a sophisticated silhouette. She paired it with tasteful heels, minimalistic jewelry, and subtle makeup. As they got closer, Junior broke into a fake smile."Junior, we can't thank you enough," Jasmine said, her voice a mixture of gratitude and amazement. She extended her arms for a hug, instead of reciprocating, Junior shook her hand instead.Jasper's eyes shimmered with appreciation as he shook Junior's hand firmly. "Junior, yo
In the cozy living room of the Miller mansion, Junior sat with his mom and Elise. They were having a conversation about how they had spent their week and then the conversation turned to the Banks family, and Junior's frustration was palpable. "Can you believe the audacity?" he said, his voice tinged with bitterness.His mom nodded in understanding. "It's hard to forget how they treated you during those years with Jasmine," she replied, her expression a mix of sympathy and concern.Elise, holding Junior's hand, chimed in. "Absolutely. At first, their request for you to be their guarantor seemed delusional after everything they put you through. And now, they actually believe that you're going to do it, it's just crazy!"Junior sighed, memories of the past flooding back. "They made my life a living hell back then, and now they want me to step in and help? It's absurd!. Well, in a way, it's also a good thing they believe I want to help, that way, when we finalize my revenge on them, they'
Lily's eyes widened, caught off guard by the outburst. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she stammered an apology, her voice trembling. "I-I'm so sorry, ma'am."Unmoved by the apology, Jasmine's annoyance only seemed to deepen. She hissed under her breath, shooting a disdainful glance towards the still flustered Lily. Without another word, she pivoted on her heels, her designer shoes clicking against the floor, and strode away.Junior couldn't help but be amazed by the scene which had just unfolded, it looks like Jasmine was never going to change, she still looked down on those not on the social status as her, soon, she would have a taste of her own medicine.As Junior watched her walk toward him, he could bet that the dress she had on wasn't the same one she had worn to work in the morning.Crafted from a fabric that shimmers with an iridescent grace, the dress molded itself to the contours of Jasmine's body, leaving just enough to the imagination.Its neckline was a careful
It was the D day. In the heart of the elegant Miller mansion, a small party unfolded under the soft glow of chandeliers and cascading drapes. The fancy beauty inside the mansion was as stunning as the pretty gardens around it, where colorful flowers and fancy shrubs made a really amazing background.The sound of laughter and gentle music intertwined, mingling with the tinkling of crystal glasses. Guests wandered through lavishly decorated rooms adorned with exquisite paintings and antique furniture, savoring gourmet delicacies served on silver trays. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the warm glow of candles and fairy lights cast a magical ambiance, making the Miller mansion an enchanting haven for an intimate evening of conversation and connection.As the massive oak doors swung open, Mr and Mrs Chapman, together with Elise, walked in.They were greeted by Mansion Miller himself, with a welcoming smile that seemed to light up the entire foyer. Beside him stood Emily, radiatin
