Very quickly, she shook her head, denying her thought, and chuckled slightlyJonah couldn't be the President of Grindel Enterprise. From what she learned about him after he disappeared on the last time she was in the city, he was a mere errand boy and live-in son-in-law of the Smith family, which was incomparable to the Blakes.If Jonah was really the heir of the Blake fortune, why would he stay and suffer in their hands for that long?As she pondered this, a question suddenly rose in her mind. If Jonah was truly being treated as garbage by the Smith family, why didn't he jump at the first opportunity to get into a relationship with her, and maybe finally escape his torment? What was he holding on to?At that point, she decided to bury the questions in the back of her mind. She must be overthinking this!There was only one way to get the answers she needed, and that was by talking to the man himself, and the sooner she got through this meeting with the president of Grindel Enterprise,
The plan was afoot. Jonah had assigned Jerry with the task of getting Sasha booked and welcomedFor now, there was something else he had to attend to, something more urgent He was in the backseat of a taxi when he saw the notice - Ava's and Vic's wedding was in a weekAs he read the headline news, his face immediately twisted in dismay. Everything surrounding this marriage seemed fishy. Jonah figured that Vic had an ulterior motive towards this wedding and by any luck talking to him would get the bastard to reveal his plansJerry had checked his morning schedule and discovered that Vic would be at MacHealth gym, so decided to meet with him thereThe taxi pulled over a few meters away from the entrance, and after Jonah settled the fare, he stepped out and headed toward the gymUnlike the rest of the people in there, Jonah was the only abnormality. Dressed in a formal shirt and business pants, Vic felt the man was just begging to be made fun ofJonah walked in and searched around the r
"I'll let you pick out what weight we start with," Vic said with a sly grin. He was certain that Jonah would start with lightweight being his first time in a gym, and he could take the chance to show off to the ladies that gathered.Jonah saw that Vic had no real intentions for Ava, and would end up hurting her by cheating with any girl that would give him attention. Hence, he decided that he had to do whatever he could do to get the Vic to reveal his schemeWith that flowing in mind, he nodded and walked toward the bench area"Hey everyone, watch as I teach this scrawny dude how to lift weights," Vic said, laughing mockingly, following Jonah to the bench areaA large crowd immediately gathered, earnestly intrigued to watch the showdownMuch to everyone's surprise, Jonah walked to the dumbells on the floor and started fixing the 150 pounds size into the rodVic was slightly confused and his eyes widened in shock. This was not the lightweight size Jonah was fitting into the rodWhat wa
"These gentlemen are giving us quite the show. Let's see who will win the second death round",Vic grabbed the barbell, tightened his hand, and shifted a disdainful gaze at Jonah"Same set of rules, guys. Maximum reps win, this is the last set so give it all you got. Go!"As soon as his voice fell, Vic grabbed the barbell and lifted it. Seeing his enthusiastic energy, the crowd started cheering on and counting again,Jonah knew that Vic was going to lose, but he wanted to humiliate him furtherHence he did not lift his reps in a hurry. While lifting, he pretended as if his muscles were straining,"Looks like our former winner is losing" Jake announced teasing Jonah. When Vic heard this, he glanced at Jonah from the corner of his eyes and laughed "What's wrong Jonah? You look like you're struggling over there" Vic grunted as he slowly pushed the weights"...14...15..." The crowd's cheer intensified, showering Vic with praises"Wow, he's so strong, look at his biceps," one girl said, tu
A flash of coy smile appeared on Jonah's lips at that moment. He had gotten just what he needed from the bastard. All he had to do was poke him a little and Vic ran his mouth like a water tapVic had lost his mind at this moment. He didn't want to be humiliated by Jonah, hence he reflexively blurted all his plans without any thoughtsMany people from the crowd brought out their phones to record the bizarre scene and planned to post these videos onlineWhen Vic saw what they were doing, a flash of horror appeared on his face. Never did he expect that the situation would backfire and make him reveal his plans.However, though, he shifted his gaze and scowled at Jonah "We're not through Jonah Smith. Brace yourself, this doesn't end until I've taken everything you own" Vic sneered at Jonah and then stormed out of the gym****Later that day, Sasha arrived at Yol's Bay. As she walked through the door of the building, she was taken aback in astonishment. The hotel was sparsely decorated wit
"Jonah Smith?" Jerry blurted in disbeliefSasha arched forward eagerly seeing the stunned look on Jerry's face"You know him?", she asked hopefully"No..." Jerry replied then cleared his throat, "No, I'm afraid I don't" he added firmly. He fathomed that if Sasha met Jonah, it might only bring some unforeseen problems. As such he had to pretend like this was another person he did not know However, Sasha's mind ran another course. When she came back to Eldredge, she wasn't certain that Jonah would still be here, but seeing how Jerry reacted, she was now sure that he was still in the city.Nevertheless, she couldn't help but wonder why Jerry reacted the way he did about Jonah. Could he have known him personally?Sasha decided not to press on about Jonah, and quickly shot Jerry a warm smile, "Oh, look at me. I'm making dinner uncomfortable, aren't I? Sitting here, asking questions about an idiot man bumming you out. I'm sorry Mr Paul"Jerry shot her a wry smile and said "It's okay. I don
Sasha hastily dashed towards the office telephone, pulled out her phone, and checked the tabloid again. Lucky for her, she found the office number of The Daily Times and quickly called in, making an appointment with the Chief EditorImmediately the young secretary heard that the daughter of the prominent Keenan Ferr was requesting an appointment with the Chief Editor, she hastily placed an appointment for her early the next morningJerry hurried to his car and drove off immediately he was out of the building. As soon as he arrived at his office, he hurriedly reported the matter to Jonah Jonah became more vigilant as well when he heard that Sasha had requested to meet him immediately after she arrived in the citySure enough, Sasha had really come for him. But what was her reason, purpose for approaching him? Was she trying to seduce or investigate him? Jonah could not help but wonder what she was hoping to find, surely she couldn't still be holding a grudge over their last encounte
After a few minutes of steady driving, Jerry finally arrived at The Daily Times. He found a spot in the parking lot and pulled over the carUpon walking in, Anna immediately sighted Sasha and hurried to her"Ms Ferr, you're right on time. Welcome", she said in excitement "The Chief Editor is ready to meet with you," Anna said and started walking towards the elevatorThe elevator bells dinged and opened onto the 14th floor. Sasha's expression was grim as she approached Rowan's office. Upon knocking, a harsh voice resonated through the door"Come in!", Rowan yelledThe man's office was decorated with awards, certificates, and pictures of popular news reports edited and published by him, giving the entire room an aura of history and elegance.Sitting behind an antique rustic table donning a tweed suit, was a pudgy man with slicked hair and rectangular frames that added a subtle touch of sophistication to his appearanceHe appeared to be in his mid-50s and appeared even more in a bad moo
