Deeply, I take a breath. Then, I walk to the couch and sit down next to Jamie.
Realizing me doing something aberrant, Jamie’s eyes finally move away from his phone screen.
He holds his phone and the coffee cup in his hand and pauses. He takes a moment trying to figure out what I want, yet I can tell he can’t.
“What do you think you’re doing?” hence, he asked, striking an annoyed expression at me.
However, even if he is feeling annoyed by my behavior, I will not back off. I have a mission here to be done.
It’s time to show Jamie how I am going to turn his negative perception against me upside down.
Although we are now inside Jamie’s office, I haven’t forgotten that today is Sunday. As I know, at least for now, nothing much is happening in the itinerary. Hence, I believe that there are plenty of rooms today in Jamie’s schedule.Yes, those rooms are where I should occupy, I’ll utilize them for myself. I’ll have to grasp these rooms for the progression of my plan.Though, even if I didn’t manage to grab his raysaber earlier, I’ll have plenty of time for this whole day to do it.Not to forget, just like what Victor said, there is nothing more than privacy that you can find in this office. As long as no one’s going to open those huge wooden doors, there will be no one watching. Not many employees enter the company during Sunda
The time is after lunch when Marie lays in my arms after she got perfectly groomed by the pet salon.Carefully hugging her in my arms, I walk towards Jamie’s Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, just when I am about to pass her to Jamie, Marie refuses to leave my cuddle.Marie’s behavior sends a furrow to Jamie’s brows, however that does not stop Jamie from giving her a loving pat on her fluffy head.Being amused by Marie’s adorable behaviour, yet feeling unusual about it, Jamie puts up a weird smile.“It’s weird.” he said.Weird? “What?” I asked, not sure about what he
Just after a few minutes of travelling, we arrived at Juicy Punch. I carefully pass Marie to Jamie so that I can go down and get Jamie his fruit juice.“We’re here.” trying to prevent myself from making a mistake, I think it’s better that I ask, “What flavor do you want it to be?”After Jamie ponders for a few seconds, he shrugs, pouting.“I don’t know.” he said.Of course. He doesn’t drink fruit juices. Hw would he know?Patting Marie in his hands, Jamie then suggests, “Just buy something that you would like.”Buy something I
And you know what? Daniella is probably right about those bosses she mentioned who work in the big offices, but I think, perhaps she should count Jamie out of it.Indeed, Jamie hasn’t been benevolent to me since the first day I entered Minerva and became his secretary. He is arrogant, sarcastic, stringent, harsh, bitter, sometimes short tempered, probably spoiled, I don’t know, what can I say? He is an heir of the Peyton Group, but…There is one thing I think I want to be, and I can be certain about——Jamie Lee Peyton, he definitely isn’t an unreasonable person that Daniella just mentioned.I haven’t been talking about this with him, but that incident that happened days ago with the fruit juices, that wasn’t his fault at all. I
After I obtained the fruit juice for Jamie, we’ve been travelling for quite a while.Marie sits quietly on Jamie’s lap, while the fruit juice in the cup holder swirls a little whenever I make a turn.The sun is setting when we finally arrive at the Peyton Mansion.The sun turns the sky into a borderless canvas, orange and purple spread on it like an unfinished art piece.The warm evening wind breezes across the garden, inviting the leaves to have a dance with it.Jamie cuddles Marie gently in his hands as they step out of the car.After giving a glance across the backseat making sure th
Time is nine, neon sign boards lighten up the city’s night sky.I walk into The Spades and travel across the crowd before I find Victor sitting at the bar.This is where Reiss works at, Victor loves it here.Victor raises his glass of martini cocktail at me before I call out to him.“Henry Baby!”I give him a pat on his shoulder as I come to his side and sit down next to him, “Hey Vic.”Reiss puts up a coaster on the bar, “Henry. You haven’t been here often lately.” he said.I chuckle, &ldquo
To answer the question he feels reluctant to, Jamie takes a deep inhale.“They’re fine actually…” he says, in a sarcastic tone, “But they’re just too fine for Minerva.”Well hello to you, but. I knew there’s always a but. Now, now, don’t say I didn’t warn you, it’s story time, folks.“Their works aren’t really up to Minerva’s standard.” Jamie continues to mention, “Other than that, out of anything they can be, some of them have some serious attitude problems, some of their persistences on their aesthetics are absent, which as they should know, can be highly pernicious for a designer.&rdqu
Trying to figure out the reason for Jamie showing admiration at my project, I decided to ask, “It’s rare for you to speak highly of someone. What makes you have eyes on this candidate?”Contentedly Jamie smiles, as he folds his arm and lays back on the chair, “His sense, together with every detail in his project.”Oh wow, really?I squint and tilt my head at him, “What does that mean?” for I am just a secretary, I don’t know much about architectural designing.Seeing me putting up a silly smile on my blank face, Jamie decides to be generous and starts to explain.“First of all, sitting among this city th
