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
"That's true! I wonder why I didn't notice it sooner." Junior exclaimed, looking around to see if he may have missed them."I wonder if they changed their mind. Maybe they decided not to show up." Elise suggested.Junior scoffed, "Not to show up? That's impossible. In fact, you have to be joking.""They aren't here yet, what do you expect me to think?" Elise asked."Jasmine would rather die than not show up to this party, I'm sure her parents too. You needed to have seen her. She was way too excited when I invited her to miss it." Junior explained.Elise was about to reply when their attention was drawn to the door.It wasn't just them, everyone's attention was drawn as well.Amidst the lively atmosphere, a hush fell over the crowd as Mr and Mrs Bank, along with their impeccably dressed daughter, Jasmine, gilded towards the group like characters from another era.Dressed in evening gowns and suit that might have been more appropriate for a red carpet event, the Banks stood out like a
Extending a hand, Junior helped Micah get back on his feet. Thankfully, not many people witnessed what had happened."I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." Janet said."It's fine, Janet. I'm sorry for bumping into you too." Micah replied."Pardon me, but, what exactly are you doing here?" She asked.Micah was hesitant to answer, so Elise spoke on his behalf."He works for Junior.""Interesting." Janet replied, one eyebrow raised. "What exactly do you do for him?" She asked.""I... uh, I'm actually his driver." Micah answered, his voice softened and his shoulders slumped slightly. His gaze seemed to drop, and he avoided making direct eye contact with Janet."Oh my! What a shame. I heard about it, but I refused to believe it was true." She replied.She then leaned forward, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "Micah," she began, her tone cutting through the air, "I just can't understand how you've let yourself end up like this. Your father's company collapsed,
"Before I forget, how did the interview go?" Junior asked.Micah's eyes shifted slightly, and he cleared his throat before responding, "Uh, well, you know, it was... it was okay, I guess." His fingers nervously tapped against his trouser, a telltale sign of his unease.Junior's eyebrows raised as he detected Micah's hesitation. "Just 'okay'? How did it really go?"Micah's cheeks flushed, and he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Well, when I first mentioned it to you, you seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing," he stammered. "So, I guess I was kind of, um, surprised. But, yeah, the interview went... decently. They asked about my experience and all."Junior's playful expression shifted into a look of realization, and he straightened up. "Wait, you thought I didn't care? Micah, I was just trying to play it cool, man! I'm actually really interested in how it went."Micah's shoulders relaxed slightly, and a sheepish smile tugged at his lips. "Oh, I see. Well, in that
"I beg your pardon?" Micah asked."If you get this job, you're free to leave. Our business is over." Junior repeated.Micah's eyes widened in astonishment, his heart skipping a beat as Junior's words hung in the air like a sudden thunderclap on a clear day. His jaw went slack, and he struggled to find his voice, his thoughts racing to catch up with the unexpected turn of events.A myriad of emotions played across Micah's features like a rapid slideshow, disbelief, shock, and a touch of vulnerability. He had been asking for those words for months, staying up late many nights. Now, hearing that he could go, it felt unreal. He looked confused as he tried to understand what Junior really meant, thinking hard to figure out the deeper messages.Micah's stance changed a bit, his shoulders loosening as if the burden of time lifted for a moment. A cautious smile appeared at the edge of his mouth, showing both relief and uncertainty. It was like a door he hadn't dared to open had suddenly open
However, their moment was interrupted by a voice from behind."What's going on here?" Jasmine asked.Both men untangled themselves from each other and turned to look at her."Nothing." Junior replied."That didn't look like nothing to me." Jasmine commented."It was just a hug." Micah said."A hug? Since when did drivers hug their bosses?" She inquired."Micah and I are more than boss and driver. We're friends." Junior answered.Micah's heart warmed as he heard Junior's words. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his eyes lit up with genuine happiness."I wasn't aware that the both of you are now friends." Jasmine said."You're not aware of a lot of things, Jasmine" Changing the topic, he asked "Do you need something?""Actually, I do. I need you." She answered in a flirtatious tone.With one last knowing look and nod in Micah's direction, Junior asked Jasmine to lead the way. Jasmine spurned in her heels and walked back into the party with Junior behind her.Jasmine's voice
