After managing to convince her about the incident at Laura's offices, Jonah stood up from her bedside, pacing around uncomfortablyWhen Sasha saw him moving that frantically, she smiled wryly. She knew what this was about. In a moment of relief, she hugged him and could tell there was a brief connection between them. This might have freaked him out and was the reason he was pacing about uncomfortably now.Hence, she stood up and said softly "I'm sorry","Huh?" Jonah replied in confusion"I know you already told me we can't be anything more and that's okay, I was just excited and relieved to hear that you came for me" she spoke softlyJonah stared at her with a soft smile on his lips and said, "No, no. That is not what this is about" Then chuckled dryly"Oh" Sasha uttered disappointedly, feeling red in the face from embarrassment, and sat back on her bedFilled with curiosity, she shifted her gaze towards him and asked "You said you were on your way to meet me when you received my call
"I have a few conditions," Sasha said Jonah answered straight away, "That's fair. What are your terms?" "First if my company is going to be the supplier for this project, I would like to make an official announcement in the media about it", Jonah shot her a curious look. He could not understand why that was necessary but decided to oblige. At this point, they did not have much options to go with"Also, there's an exclusive club I've been trying to get into. As you can tell we don't have strong roots in this city. I've been trying for months to meet with the top men in that club to do business with them, but for some reason, they kept denying me admittance and with the recent news surrounding my father, I doubt they'll be granting me membership anymore. But certainly, if the president of Grindel Enterprise should vouch for me, then I'm sure they would like to head my pitch",Jonah nodded in response "Consider it done","Which then brings us to my final condition. I would also like
The next morning when Sasha came out of her room early in the morning, Jonah was already waiting patiently in the visitor's lounge and greeted her as soon as he saw her"Good morning Ms. Ferr, come on let's go or we'll be late" Sasha was a little surprised to see him, and still in shock. She had spent weeks trying to meet with the president of Grindel Enterprise and was excited to finally get a chance to book an appointment with himWhen she heard that Jerry Paul, the spokesperson of the President, and the Blake family wanted to meet with her the next morning to make their arrangements legal, she couldn't sleep due to excitementThe first thing that morning, after hurriedly bathing, she checked in with the downstairs front desk partly thinking that Jonah was just playing tricks on her, but to her greatest surprise, he was already waiting in the loungeThis seemed too real to believe. Before she left her room, she spent a few minutes practicing what she'd say to the president of the c
Upon confirming that their invite was legitimate, Sasha heaved a sigh of relief and walked into the country club with JonahImmediately, she scanned her eyes around and started searching for Logan Henshaw, the chairman of the multinational factory Breegan. He was one of the people she hoped to have met todayHowever, just then, Jonah heard a loud laughter across the room and when he shifted his gaze toward the direction, a dash of shock flashed across his face when he saw the man Cocky and prideful as always, Lucian who dressed up as if he was at an underground rave walked in with much swagger Immediately they locked eyes and Jonah knew that the man was bound to create a sceneLucian frowned in shock. This was a top exclusive country club that even he could not easily get into. The only reason he was here was because he had used his father's membership card to get inSo why was his high school nemesis Jonah here, and even much so with such a beautiful woman on his armWhat was the d
Jonah saw Lucian twitch in agitation, but then he composed himself and smirked "You are still the same deadbeat loser you've always been. At least, I can get into the club even if it's by using my family's name. What do you have, huh? Nothing. The same loser you were in high school is the same one you are today. For all I know you probably stole someone's ID to get it, didn't you?",Jonah remained quiet for a while and then smiled "Crazy, you still think you're better than me". He was done talking to the man, so he turned around to leave His ignorant attitude infused Lucian's anger even moreIn his eyes, Jonah was a coward loser, a nobody, a mere servant for the vice president of Grindel Enterprise.But now, he could also walk into Hudson Country Club. Lucian saw it as an insult and humiliation!How could an inferior moocher stand side by side with him?At this time, he could not handle it anymore. He glared at Jonah agitatedly, pointed his fingers to his nose, then yelled "Spill it!
When Lucian saw the head of the country club, he felt this was his opportunity to further mock and belittle Jonah in front of Sasha, while proving his prowess to impress SashaHence, he strode forward with a radiant smile and said respectfully then extended his hand for a shake "President Hudson, it's an honor. I'm Lucian Castle",Alexander shot him a puzzled look and shifted his gaze over to Jonah. At a glance, he could tell that the face looked familiar, despite not being able to place itWhen Lucian saw that the president was not making any effort to shake him, he slowly retracted his hand embarrassingly and pointed disdainfully at Jonah"President Hudson, I suspect that this man used a fake or stolen membership card to gain entry into your country club. I tried to confront him about it and he tried to sneak his way out of it, but I know this man and I assure you that he must have stolen this membership card. You should have someone check it" Lucian started againFor privacy and se
"No, you can stay honey. I don't think there's anything wrong with your card" Lucian said with a warm smile Upon hearing her statement, Jonah frowned in confusion "I thought you wanted to meet some executive here. You don't want to do that anymore?",Sasha shook her head profusely. As much as she wanted to meet ... and form a business alliance with him, she didn't want to think it was worth getting embarrassed over. Besides, if she really wanted to give it a deep thought, she'd realized that she was being cocky. No one would want to partner with her, not after what her father had done, so she turned to Jonah with a worried look on her face and said "I appreciate what you are trying to do for me, but we shouldn't have come in the first place. If we end up getting kicked out of here, it would be so embarrassing"Jonah remained quiet for a brief moment, contemplating what Sasha had said, and then sighed heavily. He didn't have anything to prove to these people and since Sasha wanted to
At this time, there were a lot of shrill and gossiping whispers going on in the hall. Most of the people were anticipating to see the Hudson family beat the crap out of Lucian Upon hearing Lucian's silly excuse, Finn glared at Lucian and shorter "Misunderstanding? F*ck you!"He lifted his leg and kicked the man in the stomach which sent him wailing and in agonizing pain Finn was still burning in wrath, he lifted his leg and kicked the man again, growling "Asshole, do you know who you've offended?!"Confused, Lucian wailed in pain and scurried away. He couldn't surmise that the man they were talking about was Jonah. Then Finn quickly stopped and turned towards another guard, "Hurry and call back Mr Jonah before he leaves" he commanded When Lucian heard Finn mention Jonah's name, he was completely in shock and uttered "Jonah? Jonah Smith? Why are you inviting that loser back in here?"At this time, Alexander chided furiously "Asshole! How dare you call him a loser?! I should have you
