Simon stood not responding waiting for her to leave, she didn't like the way he gawked at her, so she went back to the office.Why was every of Jake's workers that she meets get on her nerves, she could cope with Max, at least he wasn't burdensome in the least to her, he just doesn't like her which was mutual, and there was Simon to deal with.The laughter and giggling died down and she was glad, maybe it was time for the annoying Alice to leave, her phone rang and she picked, it was Jake telling her to come to his office.Whatever it was he wants her to do would not be a problem as long as Alice is gone anytime after, she went there with a different look in her face, she was more calm now and nothing Alice would say would change that.She entered the office to see the both of them standing and wondered why, maybe he would be seeing her off and she has to take the tray away."Charlotte", Jake called her, "you will be coming with us to city mall, we are to begin the preparations for th
This was a terrible idea, bringing Alice and Charlotte to the same place, why didn't he just hire an expert in event planning that would not necessarily need his presence to carry out his or her work.It was harder than he expected, one day without Max and everything was becoming chaotic, it's not even the full twenty four hours yet and he was already draimed of every liquid inside of him.He can't of these two women going against each other, it's not his problem but if their misunderstanding will bring about troubles for him he has to set them straight and immediately."Charlotte,I don't know what this is about but you have to open up to me, that is the only way I can understand what is really going on".She contemplated telling him or not, it was very difficult for her, but since he is insisting she was going to come out with it,"there are two things that is bothering me, the first one was before we got here e the second was when you asked me to get her a bottle of cold water", she
Alice's face could not change from the smile she had on, why did Jake just agree to Charlotte's suggestion, she was the one in charge, it seems like she had grown confident since the little chat inside the city hall.She called Charlotte,"please can you scout around the area for any little restaurant, I am feeling peckish".Charlotte was about to go when Jake stopped her,"let's all go together, I'm quite famished myself and since we are all going we can eat at once""Not a bad idea", Alice said as they made their way out of the park, took a bending corner and the first thing they saw was a good truck, Jake was so delighted that he ran like a child and stayed on que.Alice and Charlotte have never eaten from a food truck and wondered why Jake was so excited, they would have passed on to a proper restaurant if he hadn't stopped there. The two ladies had different thoughts in their mind.Charlotte marvelled at how humble Jake was not only to eat from a food truck but to also wait in line
Awkwardness lulled the entire room as Charlotte and Sarah stood gazing at each other, none ready to break silence that loomed between them.Charlotte's eyes roamed over Sarah's pretty curls and feminine curves, this person standing in front of her was real competition, not Alice. Sarah looked made to her, a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. A woman who does not need a man beside her to make her feel complete.Sarah had an aura around her that exudes confidence and she was threatening to Charlotte. Everyone in the room noticed how they sized up each other and were waiting for one of them to talk.Sarah pulled herself together and wore her serious look, "How have you been? it's been a minute, you look well to me" She extended a hand to Charlotte who shook it awkwardly not knowing why the woman before her was talking like they knew each other.Sarah smacked the front of her head," oh, it seems you have forgotten me, I am detective Sarah, I was in charge of your case", she
Dinner was finished and they discussed other things and laughed as Jake told them of his ordeal with Charlotte and Alice Vladimir. It was his worst day as chairman and he couldn't think of any other experience that was as bad as this."That's what you get for having two women swooning over you in the workplace, don't you know the rules of romance in the office?"Sarah said laughing."You can laugh now, but if you had seen me all you would have felt at that time was pity, I'm telling you they made my day miserable, till they composed themselves, I handled it".Sarah stood up, "I'm sure you did, which is why you made it in one piece home, I have to go now" She gave Max a gentle hug and whispered goodnight into his ear.Max signaled the l help, to bring in food for Cassandra, and they would go together to her room, while Jake followed Sarah outside.In front of her car she still teased him, "So you are a ladies' man now?"." I don't remember having that title until tonight and you gave i
"Why are you shaking your head?"Cassandra asked him."It's nothing, are you sure you saw me shaking my head?, Or you just feel like accusing me wrongly like Jake?", He teased."Say whatever you like, I know what I saw,he wouldn't have run out of here the way he did, you know Jake". She said placing the plate on the tray. She picked up the cup of water and drank everything inside it, Max watched her gulp it down, looking at her throat as it went up and down."Quit staring Max, or I'll push you off from this bed", after she observed he was looking at her while drinking the water."How can I not stare when you look too beautiful tonight?" he said, still staring at her.Cassandra tried not to blush but her face was already turning red,"what are you trying to do Max?"."If I tell you, will you agree to it?".Her heart started beating wildly, what does he mean by that, they've not even made themselves official yet, was she ready for whatever he wants to propose?. It was actually a big deal
Max wasn't comfortable with Jake's decision but he can't tell him not to go when it's a business issue, besides he needs to see where he is investing his money into "Tell Cassandra that I will be back today and she shouldn't miss me much, I told Charlotte to help get a chauffeur and she has, he is waiting outside, so I have someone to drive me to the airport"."Be careful Sir, that is all I can say", Max said and watched as Jake picked up a briefcase and left.At the airport, Jake stood with the throng of others, inching his way along the narrow gangway to the door of the plane, where one by one they were funnelled into the mammoth aircraft, their boarding passes checked and taken, their seats pointed out by the flock of smiling stewardesses, who stood ready to greet them.The passengers in first class had already been seated, and they sat hidden in their private world, two curtains drawn to protect them from any curious gaze. Jake had already surrendered his briefcase to a stewarde
Jake stared at the file intensely, seeing nothing, it all was blank to him, even as the pages were filled with printed ink, he just couldn't concentrate. Why the hell was she even on the same plane with him, it was hard for him not to throw her any sideways glance but he was determined not to make her feel watched or even important.He flipped to another page of the file, nothing in the page was making sense to him, he sensed her still staring but he ignored it,let her stare for all she wants it's none of his business,the flight was supposed to be an hour flight,so he was sure he had what it takes to pretend she wasn't beside him for the duration of the flight. Before she gave him the hurtful response, he planned to apologize, since it wasn't expected and the way she backed out her made him feel like he scared her out if her wits.Now she doesn't even want to talk about it, just at the beginning of the discussion she's glared up already, it wouldn't do well to push the conversation fu
