Lisa's heart raced as she hastily ended the call with Jason, panic gripping her in a moment of impulsive fear. As the line went silent, she realized she couldn't escape the consequences of her accidental revelation. A notification popped up on her phone screen, signaling a new text from Jason."Why did you call?" his message read, straight to the point.Lisa's fingers trembled as she typed out a hurried response, "Sorry, it was an accident. Didn't mean to call."Seconds felt like minutes as Lisa anxiously awaited Jason's reply. The blue bubble appeared, indicating his message was on the way. "Alright," Jason's response was terse, leaving Lisa with a mix of relief and lingering apprehension.She lay back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves. In the soft glow of her room, she reflected on the chain of events she had set in motion.Lisa wondered if she had made the right decision by retracting the call, or if honesty, even accidental, was the b

The room crackled with tension as Samantha's hand made contact with Lisa's cheek in a resounding slap.The sharp sound echoed through the office, capturing the attention of anyone within earshot. Lisa recoiled, her hand instinctively flying to her stinging cheek. The unexpected assault left her momentarily stunned.Samantha, her eyes ablaze with fury, unleashed a torrent of angry words. "You think you can just make up lies about me? You're delusional!"Lisa, fueled by a mix of shock and indignation, couldn't let Samantha's accusations stand unchallenged. "I'm not making this up! I saw you, Samantha. I saw you with another man!"The exchange quickly escalated as words turned into a heated confrontation. Lisa, her patience worn thin, charged towards Samantha, determination etched across her face. Samantha, equally unwilling to back down, met Lisa's advances with a defiant glare."You're just jealous! Jealous that Jason chose me over you!" Samantha spat out, her voice dripping with venom

Jason's office was filled with a palpable tension as Otis delivered the shocking news. The revelation that Samantha, the woman he had shared intimate moments with, was the alleged thief left Jason bewildered and betrayed."Otis, are you sure about this? I can't believe Samantha would do something like this," Jason uttered, his voice tinged with disbelief.Otis maintained a solemn expression, affirming, "The bank is sure, Jason. The transactions were traced directly to Samantha's account. It's not just an accusation; it's a verified fact."Jason slumped back in his chair, processing the magnitude of the revelation. The weight of Samantha's betrayal pressed heavily on him. He felt a mix of emotions – anger, hurt, and a profound sense of loss."What do we do now?" Otis asked cautiously, sensing the turmoil in Jason's mind.Feeling a mix of emotions—betrayal, anger, and sadness—Jason took a deep breath. "Send Samantha to my office. We need to get to the bottom of this."Otis nodded and le

Jason and Otis burst into the police station, desperation etched on their faces. Jason approached the front desk, his words tumbling out in urgency."We need your help! Samantha, my employee, she's the one who's been stealing from Montgomery Enterprise. We need to find her before she gets away!"The officer at the desk eyed Jason skeptically but, sensing the urgency, quickly signaled for backup. Within moments, a detective emerged, asking Jason to provide all the details. Otis stood nervously beside him, ready to fill in any gaps.Jason recounted the events leading up to the discovery of Samantha's theft. He detailed the financial irregularities, the frozen accounts, and the evidence that pointed to her as the culprit.The detective, a seasoned officer with a no-nonsense demeanor, listened attentively. "We'll do our best to locate her," he assured them. "But you need to understand, it might take some time."Otis chimed in, "Time is of the essence. She could be leaving town as we speak

Jason stood there, trying to process the unexpected encounter. His eyes locked onto Daniel, who seemed equally perplexed. Lisa, standing in the doorway, looked from one to the other, confusion etched across her face."Uh, hey, boss," Daniel greeted, scratching his head awkwardly."Hi, Daniel," Jason replied, feigning casualness. "Just wanted to talk to Lisa about something work-related."Lisa's eyebrows shot up in surprise, clearly not anticipating Jason's sudden change of heart. "Work-related? You fired me this morning, sir."Jason cleared his throat, attempting to sound composed. "Yeah, about that. I've reconsidered. You can resume work first thing tomorrow. See you then."Lisa, still processing the abrupt turn of events, managed a grateful smile. "Uh, thank you, Mr. Jason."With a nod, Jason turned on his heels and walked away, leaving Daniel and Lisa exchanging bewildered glances. As he left, he couldn't help but wonder if his decision had been influenced by recent events or if th

Jason's day took an unexpected turn as the noise of the urban cityscape continued to play. The little child, oblivious to the imminent danger, continued their frolic across the busy street. Panic set in as Jason, his voice filled with urgency, yelled at the child to get off the road."Hey! Move! Get out of there!" he shouted, but the child, wrapped in the innocent cocoon of play, remained blissfully unaware.In a heartbeat, Jason's instincts kicked into overdrive. The swift motion of his well-toned body carried him into the street with an agility that defied the gravity of the situation. The sound of an approaching vehicle grew louder, a threatening reminder of the potential catastrophe unfolding.With the precision of a seasoned protector, Jason reached the child just as the vehicle barreled toward them. In one fluid motion, he scooped the child up, their small frame secured in the strong embrace of Jason's arms. The wheels of the vehicle, mere inches away, screeched in protest as th

Jason leaned forward in his chair, his fingers idly tapping on the smooth surface of his desk. The unexpected proposal hung in the air, creating a charged atmosphere in the sleek office."I appreciate the offer, Mr. Daniel. This is a significant decision, and I want to make sure it aligns with the vision and goals of Montgomery Enterprises," Jason began, his tone measured.Mr. Daniel, a seasoned businessman, nodded understandingly. "Jason, take all the time you need. These decisions shouldn't be rushed. Consider the potential benefits and challenges. I'm confident that our collaboration could be mutually beneficial.""Thank you, Mr. Daniel. Your understanding means a lot. I'll carefully evaluate the proposal and its implications for both our companies. I'll get back to you with my thoughts," Jason responded, his mind already racing with considerations.With a firm handshake, Mr. Daniel rose from his seat. "I look forward to hearing from you, Jason. Whatever your decision, I believe it'

As Daniel entered Jason's office, he couldn't help but wonder why he had been summoned. Jason gestured for him to take a seat, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense."Hey, Daniel, thanks for coming in. I wanted to talk to you about something important," Jason began, his expression serious.Daniel took a seat, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension. "Sure, Mr. Jason. What's going on?"Jason took a moment before speaking, choosing his words carefully. "I've noticed some interactions between you and Lisa. Look, I want to be upfront about our company policy. Dating among colleagues is generally discouraged."Daniel raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised by Jason's concern. "Oh, uh, Mr. Jason, there's nothing like that going on between Lisa and me. We're just friends."Jason leaned back in his chair, seemingly relieved. "Friends, huh? That's good to know. The company has strict policies to avoid any conflicts of interest or favoritism. I hope you understand."Daniel nodded, understanding

Jason sat in the middle of my living room, waiting for Otis to come pick him up so they could both go clubbing.Staying in was messing with his mind and he kept thinking about Lisa and how hurt she'd looked when he'd practically insinuated that he would be sleeping with Miss Ashton.He felt bad about his choice of words and actions and he'd felt like this since he left the office. He'd seen her living with Daniel and he'd gotten pissed momentarily but had instantly gotten over it.He knew that Daniel wasn't a threat.

Jason eyes bored into Lisa's head as they rode the elevator up to the twentieth floor.Seeing Lisa with hier boyfriend made him upset not because he liked her but because he didn't think he was good enough for her, at least that was what he told himself. The truth was that he was jealous not to mention confused as to when she found herself a boyfriend. Just yesterday, she was dancing in the park with him and now she had gotten herself a boyfriend?He not only didn't like him, He thought he was an asshole with a the personality of a street urchin. He couldn't understand what the fuck an elegant woman like Lisa could possibly see in a man like that.Lisa could feel Jason's eys boring through her skull from behindShe held her breath as he tension in the elevator thickened.

The smell of coffee, lattes and french fries invaded Jason's nostrils causing his stomach to growl out in anticipation as he stepped into McDonald's.The place was sparsely packed. On one side of the hall were a bunch of highschoolers talking loudly and playing music and on the other side were a few working class men and women, some eating alone, others eating with one or more people.As his eyes continued to scan the place, they landed on a familiar frame.Lisa.Jason raised a confused eyebrow and shook his head in amusement until he noticed the man that was seated across from her.A frown crossed his features when he realized who the man was.Without thinking his actions through, he walked up to them and offered a smile and called out Lisa by her name. Lisa who'd been engrossed in her conversation with Kole glanced up at him, her eyes widening when she saw him."Sir, Hi, what are you doing here?" She asked.Jason's smile didn't quite reach his eyes as he spoke."Just came to get l

Jason hopped in his car as soon as he left Lisa's house and drove home.For some reason he was angry at her for not telling him about her boyfriend. He also felt embarrassed.This had to be the worst Christmas ever.First, it was William and Celia and then Lisa.Deciding not to dwell on either situation, he plugged in his aux and began to play some Christmas music.Jason got home to an empty house. His Christmas tree was up and so were his lights but he felt a loneliness that he hadn't felt in a long time.The memory of the first time he'd spent Christmas with Hastings flashed in his mind.It had been a perfect Christmas, one of the few Christmases he'd had in a while. It was also his first Christmas with Allison, thinking about now, she was far different from what she was in those first few years of marriage while grandpa Hastings was alive."Sir, there's food in the kitchen if you want some." A voice startled him from his thoughts.He glanced at the intruder that had disrupted his

*We can always drink tap water." Jason shrugged."Tap water?" Lisa gasped, scrunching up her nose as if he'd said something that was absolutely taboo."Yes, I don't mind, do you?"Lisa blinked, she knew her boss came from humble beginnings but tap water? He really hasn't changed since the first time they met."Don't look so shocked, I've drunk worse.""There's something worse than tap water?" Lisa blurted out. Her boss never ceased to amaze her. He looked so much like his father that sometimes she forgot that they had grown up in completely different words with one of them struggling all his life and the other living in luxury. His father would have never drank tap water."Trust me, there is." Jason said in a tone that suggested that she didn't even want to know the worse things. "Where do you keep your glasses?""Over here." Lisa handed him a glass cup, their hands touched for a brief moment and both of them stood gazing at each other longingly for a brief moment before Jason cleared

Laughter filled the room as Lisa won the third game of chess."How on earth are you doing this?" Jason asked, eyes wide in bewilderment and confusion.He was both impressed and confused by the skills of his secretary. This was a side of her that he'd never seen and he liked it. Almost a bit too much but also he felt just a tad silly for only being able to beat her once after bragging about how good he was to her.*I'm just that good," Lisa shrugged playfully as she popped two peanuts into her mouth."Nah, there has to be something, you are cheating!"Lisa couldn't help but laugh at her Boss's silly attempt to pin her wins on her cheating."Or you are just not as good as you thought you were.*Lisa smiled. She had been smiling so hard through out the game, not because she was winning—evem though it was part of the reason— but because she was enjoying her time with Jason.He was funny and helpful and his presence alone made her feel just a little bit less alone."Yeah, yeah whatever."

"A set up?" Jason blinked at Lisa's deduction."I'm just speculating but what are the odds that he would come back just in time to find you and his wife kissing?"Jason ran his hands through his hair as he thought about it. What could William possibly gain from severing their contract and friendship. It just didn't make much sense to him."I don't know but I can't think of any reason for him to want to set me up. We were both benefiting from our collaboration, so I don't see it."Jason replied."That's fair, just be careful with anything relating to business from now on." Lisa advised. She knew she was being a little paranoid but she couldn't help but be worried about Jason. She'd been in business long enough to know things like this happend every time, she also knew that Jason needed someone to watch out for him."Thank you Lisa." Jason answered.They were both quiet for a while, each one of them in their own thoughts.Lisa felt sorry for her boss and at the same time paranoid. Wil

Chapter 52Lisa walked back into her living room carrying a tray of hot cocoa, one for her and one for Jason.She'd not expected him here and it seemed that he didn't plan to be here either."Thank you." Jason said as Lisa handed him his cup."You are welcome."Lisa gave a noncommittal smile and sat beside him, staring at him, still bewilderd by his sudden visit. As far as she knew, he was supposed to be having Christmas dinner with George.She stayed quiet for a while, waiting for Jasn to have a taste of the hot Cocoa."Do you have anything stronger?" Jason asled after downing half the cup.Lisa blinked, surprised by his words."Is everything okay with you, Jason" She asked, scanning Jasns face.It was a silly question because his face was a dead give away that he was anything but okay but Lisa thought it was polite to ask before jumping into conclusions."No, Lisa, I am not." He answered, his tone caught between harsh and on the verge of tears.Also had no idea what to say to his v
