Jayden said no words as the nanny went back to the kitchen. He silently watched her leave, giving a thought to what she said to him.Her advices were always real and true, so he never played with it, only that this time, he had doubts.He should follow his heart? How was he supposed to do that? The last time he did, it ended up putting him in shackles. If there was something he learnt from that experience, it was that the heart was one of the greatest deceiver.At least, to him. That's what it meant to him, so he always used his head in every decisions he made, not letting his emotions set in.It was because of his emotions, he made a couple of wrong choices that hurt him badly, it was one of the reasons he learnt to lock up his emotions, and never reveal how he truly felt at a particular moment.Thereby, making it difficult for anyone to blackmail him, emotionally.He trusted no one, and that was why he only goes out with one car, and his driver was Alex. He didn't like the idea of
It seemed like weekends have a pair of legs, running faster than an athlete on a marathon. It's called 'weekends', and not 'week begins again'. Whenever it was weekend, the day seemed to be running very fast, as though it were in a desperate state of meeting a new week.One minute, it was the weekend, and in a twinkle of an eye, it was Monday.Carina tossed around the bed, making the sheet rumple, as she kicked her legs to the left and right, groaning and murmuring, at the same time.It was Monday, another day to get out of bed and prepare for work. Not that preparing for work was the issue here, the thing with her was meeting her boss.She wished that the weekend was slow, or probably extended until she had the courage to face him.Reality hit her, and she had no choice than to go to work. After yawning and stretching, she finally got out of her bed with a twisted face.She put on her slippers, and went to the kitchen. The aroma from the kitchen intoxicated her, making her stomach g
The silence they shared was getting more and more awkward as the seconds ticked like a timing bomb.Jayden's initial plan was to tease her, and maybe, hear her say 'please, don't be mad at me'.He didn't know when he said something else, and he couldn't go back on his words.He had said it, and that was it. Carina, lost in thoughts, stared at Jayden with eyes that seemed to be desperate to plug out of its sockets.Jayden, the CEO? Her boss was asking her to eat lunch with him? This was unbelievable. Jayden never liked to eat in the canteen, even though there was a VIP room for him to have his meal.In fact, he rarely ate at work. He could easily turn her down, and go back on his words, but he didn't seem like he wanted to."What? You don't want to come?" He said, arching his brow.She shook her head, "n…no, no, sir. I have no right to say no to my boss. It would be an honor to sit with you at lunch," she replied, ever genteelly."Good."He walked out like nothing happened, like he n
All eyes were on the two tall figures, walking majestically through the middle of the canteen, towards the VIP, though Jayden was taller than Carina.Carina felt like she would die the next minute, as she could feel their eyes boring different holes on her. The way they stared at her, she felt like gaze creeping up to her skin, and she just wanted to get out of the place.If Jayden had not held her hand, she was sure that she would have tripped over, and crash to the ground, creating another embarrassing scene.Jayden acted like nothing happened, as he moved closer to the VIP. One of the security men had rushed over, and held the door open for the both of them.Immediately Carina stepped her feet inside the VIP room, she let out a sigh. She had been holding her breath for too long, because their piercing gaze never left her, and she found it difficult to breathe."What was that? Do you have any idea?" Alex asked, totally surprised at what he had just seen.He never expected to see su
Jayden smiled. This people knew how to make use of the internet well. With this current trend, he was surely going to go far in topping the chart that none of his competitors will reach his level.Now that The Cruz Dynasty has sent him an invitation to be present in their 6th anniversary happening next month."Jayden, this is…this is huge! Congratulations, man!" Alex said, still not believing what he was seeing.The Cruz Dynasty was one hell of a powerful family with affluence. Alex knew that someone like Jayden would get to meet the dynasty one day, but he didn't think it would be sudden."So, Mikel asked me to come over and help him with some stuff. Once you are ready to go home, just give me a beep, and I will be right here," Alex said, and Jayden nodded.He checked his calendar to mark the date and set a reminder, and the set date was next week Friday.He went back to his office, and began to focus on what was important. Mikel waited for Alex to arrive. He did not tell Andrea th
Natalia kept stealing glances at Henry, she loved the way he spoke, his ideas were creative and agreeable."Natalia? Natalia!" Her sister nudged her in the elbow."Sorry, I was thinking of something. So, uh…the venue should be in a garden like place, you know…the green grass, and beautiful flowers," she said, shrugging her shoulder, and smiling nervously.She was caught off guard, but she managed to compose herself."That's right. She had always wanted to stargaze with me in the garden. That means, the area is set, we just have to look for a suitable location. Do you know anywhere, Alex?" Mikel said, ticking off something in the paper he held."There are about three places, I will check them out, and get back to you. Maybe, we could even go together," Alex said, and Mikel agreed to go with him.After many other suggestions were made, Mikel rescheduled their next meeting to be tomorrow evening, and they agreed at a particular time they would meet."Thank you so much, for your contribut
The chilly breeze that swept past his skin made him shiver, just as the words that came from Miriam made him quiver, and unable to say a word.As he opened his mouth to speak, his lips trembled, and he frustratingly gritted his teeth.What did she mean by that? Was Carina actually with Jayden? Did she leave him because of Jayden? His fingers dug into his skin, as he folded them into a ball. He could not imagine Carina being with another man."Carina, do not test me. You are mine, and mine alone! No one else will ever have you, except me!" He muttered, underneath his joined teeth, as he stared into the darkness as though they were fighting.He heard Charles' distant voice, and he suddenly remembered something. He needed to begin his plans, else it would be too late.He took out his phone, and dialed a number, while he moved away from the place."Where are you? We need to talk."He went back to his apartment, and sat patiently—no! He was impatient. He kept pacing around the room, sitti
Natalia was really excited, looking forward to the secret meeting. She was not excited for the planning, but because she wanted to see Henry."I see someone is dressed already," Natasha said, emerging from the kitchen. She was holding a glass of juice, when she saw her sister. She went back in, and brought an extra one for her sister. She could see how excited her sister was, and she prayed that Henry does not hurt her. Natalia had never been so excited about seeing a guy, than she was, now.Natasha wished that everything goes well, because all she wanted was for her sister to be happy. "Come on, I.. it's not what you think. I was only bored, so I decided to get dressed already. It's not a big deal," she said, trying to defend herself.Natasha was not in the mood to tease her, so she smiled, and handed her the juice. "Thank you," Natalia said, stretching her hand out to hold the glass.They sat together watching the series that played on the TV."What's the name of this movie, aga
