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
Nathan had not expected anything like that. He didn't think Jayden would actually ask Carina out in front of him.He looked at them, his expression stating how shocked he was. His heartbeat raced, thumping hard like an angry man climbing a wooden staircase.That was not really the case; whether Jayden asked him out or not. What mattered now was Carina's response.He tried to woo Carina again and win her heart, but she resisted his advances. He was so good at playing with people's emotions that he was sure of Carina's positive response.Everything went down the drain when she started falling for Jayden. He looked at her, anticipating her response. She wouldn't accept, would she?Carina was surprised that Jayden would actually do that in front of Nathan. She had always wanted their relationship to be official so that she could call him hers.She looked at Jayden, and then, at Nathan, whose face was mixed with shock and uncertainty.If she said yes, then, Nathan would stay away from her
Nathan drove out of the company into an isolated area, where he pressed the brake pedal, immediately. His sudden action made the car stop abruptly, causing his body to move forward in an immediate force, almost hitting his head on the steering wheel.He did not mind at all. All that was in his mind was the scenario that just occured a while ago. He was furious, filled with rage. His eyes seemed to bulging out of its sockets, green veins popped out of his temples, and arms as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel.Looking around, there was no one around. He let out a loud shriek, yelling his lungs out. It didn't seem to be enough to vent his anger. He got out of the car, and began kicking the tyres so hard, as though it was the cause of his anger.As he kicked the tyres, he yelled along, curling his fingers into a stiff ball. The memories were so fresh in his mind. He could not just forget it in a second. In fact, he did not think he would ever forget it.He felt humiliated,
Jayden's eyes lit up, sparking a feeling of surprise. If he was asked to predict anything related to this, he would never think that Charles would make Nathan his next of kin.Charles had no family. His wife died while giving birth, and the baby passed away after three months. This had left Charles devastated, and since then, he had no interest in remarrying someone else, for fear that she and the baby might die again.He stuck to flirting with women and having whores to satisfy his sexual desires. The night he had slept with Carina was the same night he had lost his child. He had mistaken Carina to be one of the whores he had asked for.It was just surprising that Charles would want Nathan to take over his company. It was too hard to believe.Alex had said that he believed that Nathan had a hand in his death. Jayden wondered if it was true. With how Nathan behaved, it could be true that he had something to do with his death. But why would he kill him?Was Charles not giving him en
She did not think anyone would have the mind to make a video of them. It was a video of Jayden asking her out, and kissing her. Though it was not too audible, it sparked a reaction on the internet, as they watched them kiss, and even the caption ignited the uproar.The caption said, "The CEO of Fernando's Int'l asked this secretary to be his girlfriend in front of her ex boyfriend".Who would have the mind to do that? She looked at Sonia, she didn't think she would do that.Her eyes flew to Tory, who showed her the video. Could she be the one?"Hey, don't look at me like that! I didn't post it," she quickly defended herself as her eyes met Carina's protruding glare.Then who did? She quickly turned to Mabelle, whose sinister smile gave her the impression that she was the one that did it.She remembered how she looked at her, when she wanted to pass, and the realization dawned on her that she was the one behind the post.What was wrong with her? What did she want? Was she only there t
She was startled to see him there. He had that charming smile that melted her heart, and considering the fact that she just accepted his proposal to be his girlfriend, she felt shy to look at him.Someone who was once her boss was now her boyfriend. She never thought it would be possible, because he was someone in a higher rank than she was.She walked in, smiling at him, or rather, blushing. She sat across him, her cheeks were now reddened, and she could feel its hotness.He smirked as he saw how bashful she was. Her smile was so warm that it could melt every negative emotion and feelings away.Andrea had followed Alex to his office, and Jayden was bored. Although he had work to do, he felt bored because he had not seen Carina's face after they left the car park.He had gone to her office to find her, but she was not there. He thought that she was still with Sonia downstairs, so he decided to wait for her.He had relieved her of some workload, to resume their ongoing project the next
Carina took a seat from the other end and brought it close to where he sat.Their eyes were fixed on the screen of the phone, watching as the reactions kept increasing.Carina was paying full attention to it, that she even forgot she was sitting with someone. Jayden did not complain.He knew that she was not used to this kind of lifestyle. He would have been trending in a whole lot of things, but he just did not like too much attention.It seemed like keeping quiet for a long time made them think he would fold his arms and watch everything die down like that, as he always had.This time, for his woman, he would give them a surprise comeback.He was not focused on his reply to Stephanie, because she had deleted her comment. However, the smart ones, or more like the gist carriers, had already taken a screenshot of the reply and posted it again. Thereby, making Stephanie trend, as well.People who did not know that Stephanie was Jayden's ex-girlfriend began to laugh at her, mocking her,
