The anger brewing inside him was coming to the surface and he tried to suppress it, the hospital was not a place to be throwing tantrums.Sarah who was still inside came out to meet him, "Max is awake and he asked after Cassandra, should we go get her? so she can see him".Jake was tired of explaining to her, that she could do it whatever way she sees is right, but there was one thing he knew, he would give her a piece of his mind when they returned to the apartment.They asked a nurse if it was okay for Cassandra to be moved and she gave her approval, a wheelchair was brought so she did not have to stress walking, as expected of her she protested saying she was fine and could walk by herself without any support.Jake had to beg her before she obliged, he told her that Max would not like to see her in a bad condition and stressed just to see him, as they got closer to the ward that Max was in Cassandra became tense, she didn't know what image to picture.The door was opened and she le
"What were you both discussing, even after we left you guys, the time was not enough right" Cassandra teased as they entered the apartment.Sarah had a confused look on her face, "What are you talking about Cassie?, You have started with your jokes"."No I'm not joking darling, I'm serious, the time you guys had together before before you knew that Max and I had been kidnapped"."I wouldn't say it was all fun, we got into our usual squabble then talked for a moment, it wasn't all bad""So what did you guys talk about?" Cassandra persisted."Trust me you don't want to know it might bore you, do you want something to eat or drink?" Sarah tried to change the conversation, but it didn't work."I see what you are doing there girl, first of all, I don't mind any food or drink as long as it's not crustaceans, secondly, I am very interested in your story, girl you have to hit me with all of it"Sarah laughed, "then you might have to give me a minute, so we can eat and talk a the same time"."
"If I do that will I get into your good book again". Jake asked her still pushing and trying his luck."Hardly, you have a lot to learn Jake, I don't know where to start or how to help you, it is a self growth thing where you have to reflect on yourself, nobody can do it but you"."Sarah please, at least let us be friends again, you are part of the few I can rely on and as much as I don't want to admit this, it hurts me that I spoke to you that way".Sarah couldn't believe her ears ,did Jake McPherson just refer to as a friend? and not just an ordinary friend but a friend he can rely on, it was huge to her and she felt excited, maybe he does have feelings for her after all and just wants to understand himself.She tried to hide the smile curving on her face,"I'll think about your apology, when I decide to forgive you I will let you know".Jake knew she was not mad anymore,"I know you've forgiven, you just can't stay mad at this face for long"."Don't think to much of yourself, I said
Sarah silently wished in her heart that she has not saint anything wrong to Jake at that point, she was careful and didn't want to say anything for fear of his attitude, but he prompted her to speak up and now he was quiet.Jake took in what she said quietly, he also didn't want to cause a stir as they have just settled their last difference. He faced Max expecting him to say something, maybe take his side,"are you not going to say anything Max, it's just you now , Cassie and Sarah have had their say on it,what do you think".Max thought for a while before answering, there was a point in what Jake said, the spiritual to enjoy the vacation was no longer there, so it would make sense for them to go home, but he also saw a point in Cassie and Sarah's words, but he was at crossroads and said want to offend any of them."I think we should stay for awhile, see how things go,if we enjoy it then we can stay, if we don't enjoy it we leaving before the week ends".He hoped the way he said it wa
It was unbelievable to them that the vacation came to an end, as much as they wanted to stay, neither of them believed the rest of the week would go well, they juu felt like after two days they would get bored and like Jake presumed, they wouy get fed up and finally go home, the sitauu turned out differently than any of them expected.When they returned back to the sister, Sarah was the first to be dropped at her apartment, as she stepped out she thanked Jake and told Max that she would come visiting to check on him and know how fast his hand I recovering.Max on the other hand, couldn't say there was an improvement to his hand, a slight difference that was not noticable by any of them.Jake and Cassandra told Sarah goodbye, Cassandra was a bit sad as she enjoyed the time spent with Sarah,"I will miss you, let's do this another time, just the two of us", she said as she hugged Sarah goodbye.It was time to drop Cassandra off, but she told Jake she would be going to the house with him,
The next day,Jake prepared to go to the company without Max being there for him sinu the first time, he composed himself, but he still felt the way that he did in the first day he arrived at the firm.He stepped down and had a quick breakfast, Cassandra and Max were already seated at the table having breakfast."I will be going to work today, so you have to drop me off". Cassandra told Jake."That is not a problem I can always drop you off before going to the firm", he turned to Max,"how are you feeling now"."Getting better everyday, I feel there's an improvement that I can't see""Well that is better than no improvement right"Jake said trying not to rush his meal.He was careful so he does not start to sweat and feel uncomfortable very early in the morning, Cassandra was already done with her meal and was trying to rush him with his but he was still eating calmly, there was more than enough time for the two of them to get to their respective offices, he does not understand why she's
"I don't quite get you Charlotte,can you be more explicit?" Jake asked her."What I said is very clear jake, with Max not available to render any help you'd be needing someone to replace him even if it's temporary".Jake scratched his head unsure of why she said that,"oh,I understand you now,but I can manage alone for the period he will be absent"."Are you sure?", She asked coyly,"it would be a lot of work for you, since you are used to having Max around"."I know that, and I have discussed with him,we agreed that I can manage for the time on my own,or do you have any suggestions?".She was excited when he asked her that last part, she didn't say anything as she didn't want to give the assumption that she was imposing her ideas on him, "well, since you asked, I was thinking if I can fill in Max's shoes for the mean time".Jake refused,"No Charlotte,I can't possibly allow that, you just became chairlady,what you should be thinking of is how to expand the business and even understand h
Simon gulped silently,this was not a lady to mess with, he would just show her around and move to his own office,if there is something he does not want it is trouble."Let's go so I can show you around and where to make the coffee for the chairman", he managed to say with little courage.Charlotte followed him happy that she quickly out him in his place before any shenanigan comes from him, there was room for such wherever she choose to work and it won't begin with some errand boy she does not even know.Jake was glad she left the office so he can continue with his work before Alice Vladimir arrives, hopefully Max does not get upset when he knows that he out Charlotte up to work for a little while,at least he can be understanding with that.All he wanted was to get the parade planned out and over with, which is more demanding than he actually thought,who knew such huge amounts would go into a parade not to talk of throwing one yearly.The money being spent yearly was a little amount t
