Fiona twirled around, looking at the direction in which the voice came from. It was Sonia. She was running up to her, breathing heavily, as she stopped in front of her to catch her breath."What is wrong, Sonia? Why were you running like something was chasing you? Is there any problem?" Fiona questioned, having a deep frown on her face."No, no. Nothing, ma'am," she responded amidst the panting. She stopped talking to calm down and breathe well again. Then, she looked at Fiona with a smile, "Good morning, ma'am."Despite the fact that Fiona did not understand what was wrong with her, she still answered her greetings, hoping that she would go straight to the point of whatever she had to say."Where is Carina?" Sonia asked, looking left and right for her."Carina can't come to work today. She is not feeling too well," Fiona responded, waiting for her next question."Well, I guess it's because she was in the rain for a long time," Sonia guessed, muttering her thoughts in a low tone, but
Nanny looked at Carina, she seemed serious with her words. She had been observing the two of them; the first time Jayden brought her home, and then, yesterday.She had noticed how Jayden looked alive with Carina around; he seemed happy. The way he looked at her showed how much he loved her, and she was sure that Carina felt the same way, else why would she want to know more about Jayden?"Well, I've been with Jayden since he was a child. I took care of him, and even till he became a man, I remained his Nanny. He is more like a son to me, and you know no mother would want to see his child hurt," Nanny Perla started, putting the cutting board in the kitchen sink.Carina looked at her, paying attention to everything she said, and had to say. She was really interested in knowing Jayden because he seemed to be the private kind of person."I don't know if he has told you this, but his mother left him when he was still a child, and his dad hadn't really paid much attention to him, so he most
The nurse had called Fiona again and tried to convince her to come and see her mother in the evening. Her mother had been so worried that she had not seen her children for almost a week.Fiona finally agreed to visit the hospital after work. On that note, she decided to call Carina to inform her about their visit to the hospital after work."Alright, I've heard you. Once Jayden is back, I'll let him know that. You can come along with him, so we can go to the hospital together," Carina replied, leaning on the rail of the stairs.She ended the call, and a sigh proceeded to escape her lips, as she walked upstairs to the room. The pain she felt earlier had stopped, and she could finally have some peace and rest. Jayden had asked her to rest today because of the projects they were going to work on.She looked over at the table on the other side, and then to the bed. She had initially planned to start working on the report, but she felt a sudden rush of laziness in her and went to bed.Imm
Jayden had received one of the rarest surprises of his life. He was used to opening the door, and heading straight to his room, as Nanny Perla or Mr. Thomas would either be busy in the kitchen or anywhere else, other than the sitting room.Getting a hug and a kiss from someone his heart beat for was something he never expected. Did she plan it? If so, it was so thoughtful of her.His heart felt warmed by the gesture, and it put a smile on his stressed face. There was just this feeling—a feeling he never felt before.After a stressful day, he got a kiss; more like a stress relief kiss, and a hug that felt like it was taking away every burden and pain.She was definitely his remedy; the only one who could calm him down, and make him feel alive. Just this gesture of hers deepened his love for her.As he stared into her eyes, seeing the sparkles in them, and that smile that could make every iota of sadness wash away. He couldn't help but feel amazed.What kind of woman was she? How could
The way he intoned audibly made the whole room quiet down, with their eyes averting from Carina to him at intervals.Carina's heart was thumping fast, as she did not know what to expect next. The way he spoke was already making her shudder.Even if her food was bad, she wished that it wouldn't get him upset with Nanny Perla for letting her cook. She bit her lips and stared at her in bewilderment. Nobody on the table understood his expression, even though it was visible enough.Nanny Perla, sensing that the meal might not be to Jayden's taste, decided to intervene, to save Carina some of the embarrassment."Ja…Jayden, if—""You really cooked this, Carina?" He asked again, and she reluctantly nodded, playing with her fingers, expecting a painful comment."Wow!" He exclaimed, causing the tension in her to rise."This…this meal is really scrumptious! I never knew you were such a good cook!" He finally commented, and everyone on the table, who had held their breath let out a long sigh.Th
Carina insisted that he followed her along to see her mother, and after much persuasion, he could not say no.He pulled out the car key, and locked the door, trailing behind her, as they went inside.There were a few people at the entrance, and even if he tried to hide his face, they could still recognize him.Seeing him in the hospital, walking with a woman, they stopped to gossip, wondering who Carina was to Jayden, and why they were there."Who is that lady he is walking with?" A nurse asked, watching them go further."That's the lady in the trending video at the dynasty. He is the one the CEO kissed that night that went viral," another disclosed, holding a stainless tray in her hand."Why are they here?" The first lady asked, seemingly interested in the duo. "Could it be that she is.."She trailed off, as the second nurse tried to shut her up."Shush! You always think too far. That lady's mother is in the special unit, in the care of the senior nurse," she explained, dragging her
Carina stared at the phone in her hand, and back at Jayden. What was she going to say to him? The most important question she needed to ask at that time was not what she was going to say to him, but why Nathan was calling her.It was not okay that she didn't want to reply to his messages, so he then went ahead to call her. Jayden's trust issues with women might probably kick in, and she would have to be hanging in between being trusted and not."Why is Nathan calling you at this hour?" He asked again, and she gulped, feeling the intensity in his voice, as he intoned deeply.She could sense jealousy, anger, and suspicion in his voice, and the way he looked at her."I…I don't know. I am surprised as well," she voiced, shakily.She seemed to have lost control of her tone, making her sound like she was trying to lie.Jayden scoffed. Of course, he would not believe that. He had already had issues trusting women, and now that he trusted her, it seemed like he was making a mistake."Jayden
She was surprised to see the person that was looking for her. He was the last person she thought would ever come to see her.Even after ignoring his messages, and calls, he still had the guts to come to her workplace?She tried to comprehend his motive behind all these, but it all pointed to a reunion.Why was he finding it difficult to move on? Why was he not interested in the lady he cheated on her with? As her eyes widened, he took off the hoodie, revealing his face. He had a smirk on his face, after seeing her surprise expression."Yes, me."Carina slapped her forehead. Was it not enough damage that he called her when she was with Jayden? Now he was standing in front of him.What would Jayden say if he saw the two of them together. She was afraid he might misunderstand everything, and she never wanted that."You need to leave this place, right now. I don't have anything to do with you, just go!" She said, jabbing her finger at the gate, motioning him to leave.He chuckled, leani
