The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Supervisor
Meredith waved at the dashing young man in a blue suit walking out of a room from a corner close to the foyer of the building. He had brown eyes and thick blond hair that made him stand out amongst most of the people he was walking across. “Liam! This way!” Meredith was able to draw his attention the moment he looked up, and as soon as he saw her, he smiled and started to saunter toward her. “That’s my man! That’s Liam.” Meredith chuckled with so much excitement, looking at Jason with her eyes shooting rays of ridicule at him. “Is this really necessary, Meredith? I am sure that the young man has a lot on his table, and wouldn’t want to spend so much time talking to a stranger.” “Oh no, not my Lian. He barely does anything in here. How would he even bother to work when there are capable hands everywhere? He just sits around and orders people to do his work.” “I see.” Jason nodded with a smile, taking note of all the things she said to him. “Oh, yes. Did I mention that he

Jason remained calm, while he watched Xena walk stylishly with her face looking like she had gotten into a fight with someone. “Isn't that your cousin?” Meredith said with a cheerful smile as soon as she saw Xena, and then she stopped at once even with Liam still holding her firmly. “What’s it, babe? You already saw her last night at dinner.” “I know, Liam. I just wanna show this loser that I know the Assistant Manager of this place.” Meredith insisted with a smirk on her face, and then she looked at Jason to be sure that he heard what she said. “Huu!” Liam grunted in a little displeasure, but he really didn’t want to argue with his fiancee.Almost immediately, Meredith turned to Jason with a smirk on her face, and after giving him a scornful look, she rolled her eyes at him. “That’s my fiance’s in-law, you boss. That’s Xena, the Assistant Manager of this place. I am sure she will be pleased to know that my ex-boyfriend now works for her.” Meredith sniggered at Jason, and

Meredith seemed a bit excited by the words she heard from Xena even though she would have preferred that she fired him in order to get rid of the guilt that she struggled to deal with. Xena took in a deep breath, and then she exhaled sharply, fuming with intense annoyance while she glared at Jason with so much scorn.“You over there! Yes, you! Come here, right now?” She pointed at Jason who waited for a few seconds before he slowly took two steps toward Xena. “I need you to stand right there this minute! Don’t make me ask twice!” Xena pointed to a spot on the marble tiles on the floor, but Jason remained where he was with a smile on his face. “What? Didn’t you hear her, you fool? I can see that you don’t value your job. You obviously have plans to go job-hunting soon.” Meredith said to Jason who looked at her and chuckled. “What’s so funny, Mr. Jason? Don’t you know how to respect your superiors? This could make you lose your job.” Liam said to Jason who turned his gaze to hi

“You are bluffing! You can’t do anything to me! I got tired of the relationship and I left. That money was just compensation for all the troubles that I had to endure for the three years I spent with you since college.” “Oh, really?” Jason said calmly to Meredith, looking at her with a smile on his face. “Yes! You are just bluffing!” Meredith tried to maintain her composure, ignoring the eyes of the two people standing beside her who looked very much surprised at the words Jason said. “You stole from him?” Liam asked with a shocked expression on his face. “What? No, babe. I only took what rightfully belonged to me. I mean, his money was my money as well, and I didn’t think he even had any need for it.” Liam looked at Meredith with the same countenance, and he couldn’t figure out the right words to use in order to address the situation. “Who are you? I can’t believe I have been with a person who could do such a thing to a man?” “No, Liam. Don’t say that, don’t let him get
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Taylor’s Palate
Jason walked out of the building and then headed straight to the car with slow but steady steps. As soon as James saw him coming out of the building, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back door for Jason to get in. “Thank you, James. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for so long.” “Not at all, Young Master. I was occupied throughout the time you were not around.” James said cheerfully, showing Jason the phone he was holding in his hand. Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he nodded with a smile on his face. “Well, I hope she is worth it, and I wish you the very best.” “Thank you, Young Master,” James said calmly, while he waited for Jason to get into the car before closing the door. Jason sat on the back seat of the car, and then rested his head on it, and sighed heavily, closing his eyes for a few seconds as he was suddenly reminded by his body that he had done some work that he had not done in a while. James got into the car as well, and then he loo

As soon as James started going into the restaurant, Jason followed him immediately. “Nice.” Jason nodded in satisfaction as he looked around the interior of the restaurant which had lovely chandeliers shaped like the moon handing on several angels of the large dining hall. “Where would you like to sit, Young Master?” James asked after taking a few steps into the dining hall. “Hmmm? Let me see.” Jason looked around for a while until he saw a spot he was comfortable with. “There, I think I like it over there.” Jason pointed to a spot by the right-end corner of the dining hall that looked like it was almost secluded from the rest of the spots in the restaurant. James nodded as soon as he looked and saw the spot Jason was talking about, and then he started moving toward it ahead of Jason who followed him after a few seconds of staring. The hall was half-filled, with low disco music playing in the background. The thick curtains hanging by the windows came along with golden embr

Jason was silent for a while, but Harry didn’t mind waiting for as long as it was going to take for him to get a response from Jason. While Jason was still going through his mind for the right response to give to Harry, James turned to look at him, and that was when he realized that he was still on a call. “Harry? Are you still there?” “Yes, Young Master. I am here.” Harry responded with a low tone, and then Jason modded before he spoke after a few seconds. “Call the Chief finance officer of the company, and tell him to prepare a detailed report beginning from the year before Xena took over as Assistant Manager.” “Okay, Young Master. I will do that right away.” “That’s not all, Harry. I also want to have a meeting with all the officers in the company, beginning from the Manager to the lowest officer in the company. I want you to inform them that the new CEO will be coming in tomorrow and that none of them should miss the meeting for any reason.” “Oh, really? This i

Jason thought of the question James asked for a split-second, and then he sighed heavily and rested his head on the seat. “Take me back to the hospital, I need to go see my son.” “At once.” James nodded, and then he turned on the ignition of the car and zoomed away without saying any other word. In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at the hospital as the distance from the restaurant to the hospital where Brenda worked wasn’t up to ten kilometers. As soon as James parked the car in front of the hospital and turned off the engine, Jason got down almost immediately, and then he got into walked into the hospital and met with the nurse at the reception. “Hi.” He waved at the nurse who withdrew her eyes from the screen of the monitor in front of her and looked at Jason with a smile on her face. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to our hospital. How may I help you?” “I am here to see Doctor Brenda. Is she available?” Jason asked calmly, but he was surprised to see that the nurse had a

Joe’s Cafe
The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

Bring Him Home
For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

I Know!
The rays from the sunlight were shining brightly through the casement windows inside the bedroom. The curtains were half closed, giving way to the rays that hit Brenda’s eyes while she groaned in her sleep. As though there was a force, she opened her eyes instantly, only to behold the sight of shirtless Jason sitting close to her with a tray in both hands. “Wakie wakie! I was worried that too were not going to wake up on time to see this.” Jason had a beautiful smile on his face while he looked at Brenda who adjusted herself slowly, sitting up while she looked at the tray he was carrying. “What’s that?” “Oh! This? I made you breakfast! I had to wake up early just to make sure that everything worked as I planned. Here…” Jason opened the dish cover to reveal the egg and sausages on the plate next to a cup of black coffee. “I tried making the coffee just like you do. I hope I tried.” Jason handed the cup of coffee to Brenda who blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “Easy! I

Special Announcement
While everyone sat comfortably, eating and drinking everything that had been set on the table, Jason picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and after looking at his Grandfather and getting the signal from him, he nodded before lifting the glass. “I have a special announcement!” He hit his fork on the brim of the glass, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the table who instantly put a hold t what they were doing, and paid keen attention to him. Everyone seemed curious to know what he was about to say except the old man who was already done eating his veggies and wiped his lips with a napkin while he maintaining a grin on his face. “First of all, I want to thank Harry for bringing his lovely family to dinner. It’s such a pleasure to have you all here. Family is everything, family is life, and I am happy that he has such a beautiful family.” Jason lifted the glass toward Harry who bowed gently, still wondering what he was up to. “Harry here has been working with thi

Butler’s Family
Jason was the first to step out of the hot tub before Brenda joined him. Handing over one of the two towels he grabbed to her, he gave her a lovely smile which made her blush while she grabbed the towel, and wrapped her body with it. “You are still staring.” Brenda said with her smile intact, but Jason couldn’t take his eyes away from her, not even for a second. “What am I going to ever do without you? You have brought me so much joy, Brenda.” “Nothing, Jay. You are going to do nothing.” Brenda chuckled while Jason nodded without getting rid of his smile. “You are right. Absolutely nothing, that’s what I am going to do if I ever lose you.” “Well, I am not leaving anytime soon. I am here with you, my love.” Brenda patted Jason on both cheeks before she turned and walked toward the bedroom, holding onto her towel with both hands. “We must hurry, Jay! We are having guests, remember?”“Oh, right! I almost forgot about that!” Jason rushed into the room, and got dressed alongsi

Price to Pay
For a few seconds Jason was silent while he exchanged glances with the couple, not sure of who he was to face. It was obvious that they were expecting to hear him speak, but the silence in the room was killing them, having more effect on Lucas who couldn’t forget the words he said to him. He was afraid that the day of reckoning had come, and it was time to pay for all his crimes. Still unable to stop himself from finger mg, especially at the sight of Ramon who gave him threatening looks, Lucas decided to grab his bottle, hoping to get back some of his composure from a gulp. “What’s that?” Jason’s calm words stopped Lucas from grabbing the bottle from the ground, causing him to remain still while he lifted his face slowly to look at him, patches of guilt all over his face. “I can’t believe this.” Jason scoffs. “You really want to drink right now. You have really drowned yourself in so much alcohol. I bet you dream of drinking while you sleep.” Jason sighed softly, and remain

No Choice
Everyone remained silent amidst the tension that surrounded the air. While Lucas kept his eyes on Jason who remained still with a smirk on his face, he struggled with the contemplation of either remaining where he was standing, or moving backward. For a second, he took two steps backward, but because it felt as though his body no longer belonged to him, he couldn’t move afterward. “Hello… Dad. I see you haven’t left your old habits.” Jason pointed at the bottle of whiskey which Lucas tightly held onto even in the midst of the cringe that engulfed him. “It’s you.” Lucas’ voice was shaky. And while he held onto the half-empty bottle, he gently lifted it up to look at it, filled with thoughts of his numerous drinking adventures. It was true that he was intoxicated at that moment, but the sight of Jason and his companions made the effects of the whiskey wear off at once, leaving him to struggle with the situation. “I am just going to let myself in. Excuse me…” Jason gestured to

Hello, Mother
“You know you don’t have to come with me, right? It’s not like he is going to beat me just like he did several years ago.” Jason said to Brenda who was helping him out with his jacket. The news on the internet was getting a lot of attention from even different countries, and knowing that it wasn’t going to die down if he didn’t do anything about it, Jason decided to pay his foster parents a visit that night, discarding his initial plans to go see them the next day. “You are not going to be able to talk me out of this, Jay. I suggest you quit your attempts and allow me to come with you. Trust me, you are going to need me to support you, and I will always be by your side, Jay. No matter what.” Brenda’s words were helpful at that moment, and a bright smile appeared on Jason’s face, taking over his worried expression. “Thank you. I am glad you are coming with me, Brenda.” “Good. That’s all I needed you to say.” “But you have to go to work tomorrow, and I know how much you love

Foster Ordeal
As soon as he got the call from Brenda, Jason stepped out of the mansion and moved into the car. He drove to the hospital at once, and a few minutes after he parked the car, Brenda walked out of the building with her handbag carefully held with both hands. “Are you okay?” Jason asked, still staring at her even when she got into the car and slammed the door. “Yeah. Why?”“Nothing, love. I just wasn’t expecting that you would call me to come pick you up this early. It’s only been a few hours.” Jason looked at his Hublot wristwatch to ascertain that it wasn’t close to closing time yet. “Yeah…” Brenda grunted slowly, and after letting out the air she inhaled, she continued with a low tone. “I have just been feeling very tired lately, Jay. Even the patients I attended to noticed the difference. I think I will just rest today, probably by tomorrow I should be fine.” “Are you sure? Maybe we should go on a vacation or something. We should go…” Jason suggested, but Brenda shook her
