Should I talk to any woman again?” Jake asked her and she raised her head to meet Jake's gaze on her.

“what do you want to have all to yourself?” Maron asked Again as he watched the two girls look at him in shock yet surprise.“Maron?” Georgina mumbled as she continued looking at him. Maron fixed his hands in his pocket as he smirked slightly.” Why? Are you surprised?” He asked as he glanced briefly at Agatha.“Leave us!” He ordered and Agatha glared at him furiously. “You don't have the right to tell me to leave here. If anyone here is meant to leave, that should be you.” Agatha gritted her teeth.“Oh really?” Maron asked nonchalantly as he strolled closer to Agatha. He walked past her and sat at the initial bench they were sitting on. “What do you want?” Georgina asked in annoyance.” What I want.. .” He chuckled softly as he looked at both of them.“I doubt you have what I want,” Maron spoke in mockery as he picked up Georgina's milkshake and sipped from it.“You…” Georgina started as she clenched her fist in anger.” How dare you.” She spoke aloud.“Is it bad to drink from my fianc

I'm so sorry, I…” Claire began panicking, causing the others to look in their direction. Mrs Jenny Larryson ran towards them and covered her mouth in shock.“I'm fine, don't worry.” Jake forced out a smile on his face as he stared at Claire. Meanwhile,Mrs Jenny Larryson couldn't agree to that fact. She sighted his scalded arms and exclaimed bitterly.“Oh geez! Take him to the restroom, I'd get first aid.” Mrs jenny spoke as she quickly walked out of the dining room.“Why can't you be careful!” General Ismael Larryson yelled at his daughter. “ Show him where to clean up.” He ordered and immediately, Claire ushered Jake to the visitor's room. “It's nothing, I'm alright.” Jake mumbled slowly as he gazed at the worried Claire. “It's my fault, I was acting clumsy.” Claire said with moist eyes.

Still, at the Upside restaurant, Georgina was trying to maintain a straight face to Jake as she boiled inwardly due to Zara's presence.Agatha sighed from where she was seated. She took the cover used in previously covering their food and covered Georgina's plate to avoid getting cold.“I wish I could call her and speak some sense into her but she left her phone here!” Agatha mumbled wryly as she glanced briefly at Georgina's phone.“What could they be talking about?” Agatha wondered as she looked on.“It's nice to meet you, Georgina.”Zara started as she stared intently at Georgina's brown eyes. Meanwhile, Georgina cursed under her breath, she didn't want to reply, neither did she want to start a conversation with her, but she had to keep her face.“Nice to meet you too, Zara,” Georgina replied, forcing the last words aggressively.“It's good to know that even after the divorce, you both work in the same company, keeping your differences aside.

He found a lady whose frustrations and fright were evident on her body.Jake looked around and was surprised to no one running Helter skelter or looking confused.

Her eyes landed on the mail, the congratulatory message to Jake as he was getting married.“Wh..who sent this?” Georgina stammered as she asked Agatha. “It's from his secretary. Jake told him so.” Agatha stated and looked at her friend worriedly. “It's a lie, no… this.. argh!” Georgina yelled angrily as she threw the phone to the floor.
