She looked closely at his face, and though she could not remember where she had seen the face, she was not mistaken about the voice. It was exactly the same voice from a few years ago.Could it be just a coincidence?Charles had felt that someone was peering at him, he felt the intense gaze on him, and he decided to let Jayden win the meaningful glare battle.His eyes diverted to the young woman behind Jayden, whom Jayden was taller than, so his broad shoulders, and tall figure sort of shielded the lady.He did not see her face clearly, but there was just something about that woman, that he felt he knew. He tried to gain access to her face, wholely, but this only made Jayden and Alex alarmed.They had not noticed him trying to look behind, until he tilted his head to the right. They turned around to know what suddenly caught his attention, and when they realized that it was Carina, Jayden motioned for them to go.Carina lowered her head, concealing her face, so that he doesn't see her
They got into the car, and went back to the company. Jayden was in a good mood, after Carina made a great presentation, leading to their success in partnering with the Jackson's.While Alex was driving, he suddenly thought about the woman sitting beside him. How was she going to feel, when Nathan leaves the company? How was she going to react? The employees were not supposed to know why Nathan was to be fired, so it was going to be hard for Carina to just accept that Nathan was no longer working in the company.Knowing Nathan's despicable character, he would try to make it seem like he and Sonia, or maybe, Andrea connived to make Jayden fire him.He was not in the position to say how Nathan was going to be fired, but then he knew he was involved in his case, so Carina might probably be angry at him.However the case may be, she would have to accept the truth. He would be a bad friend if he let Carina go on with a bastard like Nathan. He did not deserve Carina at all. Why do good pe
Carina stopped halfway through the path that led to Fiona's office. She couldn't let her sister see her that way. One look at her, and at the mention of Nathan's name, Fiona would not lose the opportunity to lecture her, and she was definitely not ready for that.She stopped, and leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath. It happened so fast, she could not process it.First, Mabelle had tried to take her best friend away from her, and now, her boyfriend? Did she really come to work or to snatch everything she had, away? Who knows, she might want to snatch her position as the secretary.Ever since she arrived at the company, Carina had a bad feeling about everything related to her. She wondered why everyone seemed to be blinded by her true being. Did it mean that she was only showing this side of her to only Carina? Carina wondered what her motives were. She did not understand why Mabelle seemed to be attacking her, not like they met before, but she was bent on hurting he
Mabelle did not say anything again, she left Carina to ponder hard on her words.Her stiletto heels was enough to draw anyone's attention, as it made a sound with every step she took.The way Mabelle spoke, made Carina think that she knew Nathan more than she did. Could it be that she was his ex girlfriend? Did they know each other from anywhere, and not just at work?As the days pass by, Mabelle kept acting weird, saying and doing things that Carina did not understand. Everyone acted normal, and she felt like she was the only one seeing a different Mabelle. Mabelle seemed to have a hidden agenda, that Carina could not pinpoint, even if she tried to. It was like she came to work in the company, just to destroy her life, and everyone she cared about.What did she mean by Nathan is not who she think he was? This was only giving Carina a headache, as she tried discerning the message.She had said it with so much confidence, like she really knew Nathan, more than anyone else.She tried
"Yes, of course. It's me," she said, smiling nervously.Henry scoffed, shaking his head in disappoinment. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asked, as she looked at him, shaking his head. That left her confused, and she wondered if something was wrong."Nah, nothing is wrong. So, what are you doing here? Are you with anyone? Who did you come to see?" He asked, hoping that she would say the truth.To his dismay, she played the cards well. She hid all traces of guilt, as she spoke pompously."Oh! I'm here alone with my business partner, for a meeting. You know, the life of a fashion model, I have to rush down here for the meeting. There is a fashion show that will be held this month, so my partner and I are here to attend the meeting with some exclusive members," she said, concealing her lies.Mikel had seen it for himself. She was nothing more than a liar, and a manipulator. Trying to mess with people's emotions, just to get what she wanted, she must be really experienced."How about y
After putting on her makeup again, she left the restroom. She didn't know Henry's room number, so she walked past all the rooms, until she got to room 210. She heaved a sigh, and put on a smile, then, walked in."Where the hell did you go?" Charles thundered, puffing his cigarette, as he sat on the chair, with his right leg on the table. She knew his temper, and so, she was not scared of him."I went to get something downstairs, and I'm sorry I took so long," she said.Though she did not give him a direct response, she hoped that he doesn't ask any further questions.Charles being the kind of person he was, did not let her off the hook."Where. Did. You. Go?" This time, he sounded like he would kill her, if she did not give him a reasonable answer.She gulped, afraid that he might hurt her, with the way he was glaring at her."I went downstairs, alright? I was just caught up with something, trying to settle an issue. I'm sorry I took longer than expected, it won't happen again," sh
When Jayden saw the call, he wondered what she was looking for. She could have just called Alex, right?"Why don't you answer it?" Alex said, as he noticed that he was not taking the phone, he only stared at the caller."It's Andrea," he said, and concentrated on the work he was handling.Alex sensed that it was important, as she would have called him up to deliver whatever message it was.He urged Jayden to answer the phone, and at least, hear what she had to say.He reluctantly took the phone from the table, and swiped right, then went straight to the point.He had to admit that he missed his vest friend, and cousin, but this was business affairs, and she needed to clear herself.Her request made his brows crease. Why would she suggest that? Thinking about it, he found it reasonable enough.She deserved to be celebrated, for winning the deal in a first attempt.He remained silent, and after thinking about it, he decided to agree with her, right after he asked for Carina's permission
Carina hated Nathan, at that moment, for interrupting their discussion. Sonia was about to tell her something important, and Nathan just had to come at that same time!After what happened earlier, she was in no mood to talk to Nathan, or even set her eyes on them—Nathan and Mabelle.Luckily, Mabelle was in Tory's office, probably gossiping, she didn't know. She cared less, as long as she doesn't see her face.She turned and looked at him, her eyes communicating how angry she was, and that she was not ready to talk to him. She averted her gaze away from him, and faced Sonia, without answering him.Sonia, who didn't know why Carina was acting that way, sat there looking dumbfounded. She had never seen Carina so angry, neither had she witnessed how quick her mood changed, when she saw Nathan.She looked at Nathan, and then, to Carina. She wondered what Nathan had done to Carina that made her so angry at him. She gave Nathan a questioning look, but he didn't mind her, he diverted his look
