Chapter 39" I love you Layla " He said again while Layla stared on at him in shock. She was never expecting this, not even in her lifetime. She had never believed all those words Mirah spoke about Shane having some sorts of feelings for her.She had thought it was just a way of making her feel better for also liking Shane. But right now,, he's confessing his feelings to her. He said he loves her?Did she really hear him right or is it an hallucination? Shane loves her?" Shane loves me? " She thought, still staring at his face in shock. She felt herself rooted to the spot as she couldn't move, not even a finger. " Layla " Shane called almost in a whisper. Her sudden silence was making him so nervous as he wondered what was going on in her head at that moment." Huh? " Layla asked unconsciously, only moving her brows but really she wasn't in a conscious state at all." Do you feel the same way? " He asked slowly and she shook her head abruptly. " No, I don't " She said, still shookin
Chapter 40" Layla... " Mirah called but was cut short by Layla. " I can't agree to this, so don't try to make me " She said and with that, walked away into their room. Mirah sighed as she sat back on the couch, leaning her back on the couch.She was tired, she knew her friend wouldn't admit her feelings and she's really trying her best to make her see the truth, but it seems she's really firm on her decision. She'd better give up. If they're meant to be, they will. But now, she's unconcerned about the matter. She's backing out.** Shane's Apartment **" So you got rejected? " Alec asked, stating the obvious immediately he sighted Shane coming in with a moody look. " Well... Yeah I got rejected " Shane replied with a shrug as he landed his butt on the couch." What did she really say? "" Not much. She said she has no sort of feelings for me and she thinks it ain't right for a thing to happen between us 'cause I have a wife. But I ain't giving up anyways " Shane replied with a huff an
Chapter 41" Mom? " Shane called questioningly." Alright whatever " Mrs Kent muttered. " I should go now, I have other things to tend to " She added and Shane's brows creased questioningly tho he's well aware that his mom couldn't see him." Mom? It's late at night? " He questioned and Mrs Kent let out a scoff to his ears." Yeah I'm aware and with that, I meant.. attend to your dad " She teased and ended the call immediately. Shane let out an unbelievably gasp immediately he could understand what his mom said." Gosh mom " He muttered and shook his head at how naughty his mom is.He sighed when he remembered his mom's words. He can't help but ponder about it. He knows too well it's Layla now but he still can't help but want to care about Brielle's feelings. How would she feel or react to this?He's a bit worried and that alone is confusing him. Why would he still be worried about her when he's really ready to let go of her?He let out a sigh as he walked his way up the stairs, in th
Chapter 42Layla shook her head unbelievably at what Shane said. " You know that's impossible right? " She asked rhetorically. " Just say Yes. I'll find a way " Shane said instead. " I'm sorry, but I can't " Layla muttered and Shane smiled lightly." So, why are you here? " Layla asked, trying to clear off the intense atmosphere." Well... " Shane paused briefly, tucking his hands into his pockets. " I gave you the flowers already " He pointed at the banquet sitting on the table where Layla had placed it." And I'm also here to inform you about this job idea I have for you " He said and Layla raised her brows. " Job?? " Layla asked and he nodded." Yeah.. My secretary at work needs an assistant. And I think you might want to fill in that post. I would pay you hugely " He said and Layla's brows raised the more." But, why me? I mean you could get other people for the job? " She asked. " I just want you, I want you to have the job since you seem to be in need of a job " He explained."
Chapter 43" I'm hired? I thought you're gon' need like some papers or... "" Nah, I know you well. You're brilliant and you have the qualities I need. You don't have to worry, you can resume work tomorrow " He said, cutting her off." Oh, okay then " Layla muttered.There was a brief silence before Layla broke it. " I should end the call now. I have to prepare for tomorrow " Layla said awkwardly and Shane nodded tho she couldn't see him." Ok then, thanks. Bye " He said and Layla muttered a * bye * before hanging up. Layla heaved a heavy sigh knowing fully well what could be the implication of her accepting the job.Mere talking to him seems like they shouldn't stop not to talk of seeing him daily, she's gon' feel drawn to him every minute. " I hope I can handle this " She muttered to herself. " So... " Mirah jumped to her on the bed. " You said yes to his offer? " She asked tho she knew what the answer was gonna be. " Yeah. He said I could start tomorrow " She muttered and and Mir
Chapter 44" I'm sorry " He said again. " I'm sorry for delaying you. We suddenly got a message about an urgent meeting with our neighbouring company and we had to rush there. I didn't know we were going to stay for so long there, I would have asked you not to come again today. I'm sorry " He explained and shocked Layla could only nod, she was suddenly short of words.Shane broke the hug and stared into her eyes, she tried her possible best not to look nervous in front of him. His stares were making her lose herself." So, will you please wait? " He asked more like a plead. Layla nodded slowly and he let out a little smile." Claus! " Shane shouted and almost immediately Claus rushed in. It seems he had been waiting outside patiently for Shane's call." You can take it from here now. Show her the office she would be sharing with Tina and inform her about her duties " He instructed Claus. Claus nodded attentively and Shane turned to Layla." He would direct you on what to do. If you ha
Chapter 45She was startled. She tried to flinch but Shane didn't give her time for that as he caged her in his arms, wrapping his arms around her and moving her closer to him.Layla gulped at their closeness. " Just stay still... for some minutes " He muttered giving her that usual sensational waves." But.. what if someone comes in? " She wanted to ask but then remembered she had locked the door at first, while coming in. She let down her guard and released herself to his hold while he pulled her more impossibly closer, giving no space in between them.Layla's eyes were just an inch for them and it was the same with their lips. There was not even a distance from each other. She gulped down more into nothing as her eyes roamed around his perfect and handsome face." He's handsome " She thought, his eyes glued to his perfect round face. They were like that for a while before Shane finally released her. She inhaled softly and stood up properly with a shy look on as she looked away from
Chapter 46" Guy you're gone " Alec let out a dramatic laugh and Shane chuckled. " I know " He said laughing heartily. " She really is giving you joy, I'm glad. All Brielle had always given you was emotional pain. I really can't wait for you two ( Layla and Shane ) to be together " Alec said truthfully and Shane smiled." Yeah me too. I really can't wait " He muttered.** Next day *** Kent's Enterprise *" Afternoon " Layla greeted Tina as she entered their office. Tina raised her head and then smiled lightly at Layla. " Afternoon Layla " Tina replied cheerfully.Layla walked over to her desk and when she saw the huge files waiting for her and the various text messages she was to reply to. She inhaled deeply and made to begin work immediately.She was just resuming to work that day, she had a class that morning. " You should go see Sire before you begin your work. He had requested to see you immediately you arrive " Tina said and Layla sighed silently." Gosh. I hope nothing happens
