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,
It was time for the workers to go back home, and Jayden was occupied with work because he had been too lazy to start working in the morning.He had to finish some work before he went to carry Carina's mother from the hospital. He had not told Carina yet, but he knew she would be surprised to see her mother out of the hospital.Since she had accepted to be his girlfriend, he could tell her to pack into his house, anytime soon.He did not have a problem housing all of them, as long as his woman was with him always.Before he finished working, almost all the workers had gone, including Carina and Fiona.Alex had gone to drop Andrea at the hotel so that by tomorrow, she would travel back to meet her husband and continue her work with him.Mikel had gone back to South Africa to continue his business and had asked Henry to accompany Andrea back to Texas.Henry had used that opportunity to meet Natalia, and they planned to get married soon so that she could join him."See you later, Alex. Do
After Nathan left the company, he drove to Carina's house and banged on the door.With the force he used to hit the door if it were a wooden door, it would have broken down.He had been offline, trying to talk to the board members, so he did not see Jayden and Carina's post.He had planned to talk to Carina again and try to convince her. What made him so furious was the fact that she posted a picture of her and Jayden together, and she had never posted him before.Even when they took pictures by the river, she did not post them. This made him jealous and angry.Carina was in the sitting room when she heard the loud bang. She wondered who it was, and why the person was hitting the door that way.She stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door.As she unlocked the door, turning the door knob, she was shocked to see who it was.She froze for a while, and stammered, "N.. Nathan, who…what are you doing here?" Stepping backward, as his burning eyes cut through her skin, she almost s
