It seemed as though it was planned. Jayden took slow, but elegant strides to the podium, where he was being called upon. He looked so regal in blue. He could pass as a hot model, as the white shirt hugged his torso, giving off the sexy vibe.All the ladies could not stop staring at him. He looked like a demigod of beauty."Gosh, how can someone be this beautiful?" Tory exclaimed."That's a man. You say handsome, silly!" One of the workers said.As the light shone on him, it added more effect on his blue suit. Carina could not stop gawking at him."Hello, everyone. Welcome to Fernando's Intl. Recognition Award Night Party." He said. His baritone voice seemingly echoing in the ears of his admirers.They all clapped their hands, while whispering inaudible words."Did you hear his voice? Oh my goodness! What sort of man is this?" Tory said, clutching the side of her dress over her chest, as though she was preventing her heart from falling."Tory!" She turned, sharply. "What?"The lady s
"So, they are in a relationship." She had excused herself before the party was over. She needed to know what Ann meant by what she said. She had seen her go to the second floor, so she followed her. Reaching the door that was left open, she could see Jayden bending over someone."See you tomorrow."Jayden left. Carina immediately hid as she saw him coming out of the office. She could not let him see her, as he would think she was stalking him.Ann turned her back to the door, sorting out a few files that were on the table. She needed to edit them to make work easier for her the next day."Do you mind explaining what you meant?Ann stopped what she was doing, and smiled. "Oh, Carina. Hope you enjoyed the party. Congratulations on your award," she said, facing Carina, as she rested her butt on the edge of the table."Thank you. Please, answer my question. What did you tell Nathan?" "Which should I answer, first? I—""Both!""Carina," she called. "First, Nathan came to inquire about
"Good morning, sleepyhead. Better get up, except you want to be late for work."Carina stretched in bed. She sluggishly walked to the bathroom, to brush her teeth, and have her bath."Breakfast is ready, yeah?" She yelled from the room."Yes, princess. Mother has prepared something for us."Her mother was slowly recovering. At least, she was better than before. She was aware of their party last night, she knew they would be tired, so she made breakfast for them. It had been a while since she last prepared meal for her children."Good morning, mom.""Good morning to you, Carey. I made you some chips and milk shakes for breakfast." Carina sat on the table, and began to eat from her plate. "Hm, it's crispy. I missed your food, mom."Her woman looked at her two kids—they were grown up now, eating and smiling. She missed the cheerful laughter, and smiles they always had. The joy they felt, even when they had nothing. She did not know when she started tearing up."Are you crying, momma?" F
Jayden recalled that he mentioned The Jackson's. How is he the Jackson's son, and a brother to Jane Haymes."Haymes is their family name, right?" He asked, still having his gaze fixed on the two pictures."Yes, Haymes. Why?" Alex was never mistaken in his research, and update. He always made sure to confirm, before giving out an information."Haymes was not the name he mentioned, that night. He said he is The Jackson's, and the officer was somewhat afraid. Who are The Jackson's?" "Can I borrow your laptop, for a while?" Jayden nodded, and he turned the computer to face Alex, who sat on the other side of the table. He typed in a few words, and did a quick research."The Jackson's family is one of the richest and influential families in The United Kingdom. Their first son, Mikel Jackson is the CEO of Jack's Automobiles—the biggest automobile industry. His father is late. His mother is still alive, and he has two sisters. Not only are they the richest, but they are amongst the most fear
Sonia stopped in her tracks, too, to think. Had it been she was observant enough, she would also notice that the CEO was not at work."You are right. I have not seen him today, but I'm pretty sure he is good. Maybe, he is just taking a break, or something."Carina did not push the discussion, so as not to arouse any questions."So, tell me. How did you two meet?""As much as this is true, it doesn't work all the time. I mean, it doesn't work on everybody. Alex did not like me, at first. I was literally the last person he wanted to see on Earth. Even with his attitude, I still chase after him. Eventually, he started liking me, and boom! We became a thing, and today is our one year anniversary!" She squealed."Wow! I'm so happy for you, girl. You got yourself a nice man. Congratulations!" She smiled, and hugged her."Oh! Here comes the anniversary guy." Carina sighted him, and Jayden, walking towards the door.Sonia wore her prettiest smile, excitedly waiting for Alex to arrive."Good d
From its title, she knew it was a movie that involved romance. She ate her popcorn, silently watching the movie. Nathan made her lean in on his shoulder, as one of his arms shielded her, like a mother hen protecting its chicks."I love him! The protagonist guy is just too good, I hope he saves her." The movie was getting more exciting, she paid full attention to it, completely forgetting poor Nathan beside her."So, you love the protagonist guy more than you love me?" He said, acting like he was jealous, and upset."Nate, c'mon. Don't be like that. It is you, I love. I just love the way he does things, and how he went to save the girl, even when he did not like her at all.""Got you! I was only pulling your legs, lover girl. Anyways, I'm glad you love me, and me alone." He smiled, munching on the popcorn that he had shoved into his mouth."You! I will get back at you, for doing this to me." She said, jabbing her index finger at him. He chuckled, and held her head. "Come here, silly.
She went to work the next day, hoping that, somehow, Nathan would not try to talk to her about last night."Carey, what is wrong? You look…sick," Sonia asked, touching her neck to feel her temperature."I'm fine, Sonia. I'm just tired," she replied, forcing a smile."You should always try to get enough sleep, okay?"Nathan had finished the urgent work he needed to do, and came to work. He went to meet Carina, first."Carey, can we talk?" He said, tapping his fingers on the table.Carina could not say no. She followed him outside, to the parking lot."I know you were lying, when you said you had stomach ache. I'm not upset, I just want the truth from you. What happened to you?" He said, holding her hands."Nothing happened, Nate. I told you already, I had stomach ache. Might be from what I ate," she said.Nathan closed his eyes to calm his nerves."Carina, I will ask you for the last time. What really happened to you?"Carina was determined to keep her secret in. "Nothing." She really
Jayden could not stop thinking about her. He just wanted to make sure she was okay.He called Alex to pick him up, and in no time, they were headed to the hospital."Why are you bothering yourself? You already asked Annabelle to check up on her, and she said she was okay, already. So, what's the point of going to the hospital?" Alex asked.Jayden thought for a while. He could not answer the question, as he pondered on it. He didn't know why he was stressing himself to make sure she was okay. No, there must be a reason."No reason."Alex glanced at him through the mirror, "no reason? Or, do you like her?"Jayden, without even looking at Alex, could tell he had a smirk on his face.He had to say something, else, the silly boy would keep trying to piss him off."She is my employee. I just want to know her health status, to ensure productivity and efficiency. Nothing else, I do not like her."He arrived at the hospital, and asked Alex to wait for him. Sonia phoned Alex, and asked about Ca
