Briana is ready to leave the office after arriving and staying for an hour to settle some matters. She stopped by Reva's cubicle first to say hello."I wish you the best of luck today, girl! I'm hoping you can persuade Mr. Johnson to accept our insurance proposal. Our boss will undoubtedly be pleased and will give you a large bonus! So you can fulfill my ultimate wish list by treating me to Abalone Resort!" Reva cracked a joke.Briana let out a soft laugh. "I certainly hope so! Please give me your best wishes! Please continue to pray for my success today!""I certainly do! Fly high and reach for the stars, my dear!" Reva spoke in a singsong tone.Briana laughed and stated, "I'll leave now. I'll see you later!""See, yeah!" Reva said, returning her gaze to the screen of her computer.Briana can be seen walking out the door, leaving the office, and entering the elevator with her blue leather briefcase, which contains the company's various insurance policies as well as her property portf
"Go away !" she replied without looking at the guy's face.Wait! Why does his voice sound so familiar to me? She was surprised to find Jack on the beach when she raised her head and looked at his face. "OMG! You tracked me down!""Yup!" Jack chuckled and lowered himself into the chair. "What are you doing here on the beach by yourself, babe?""Nothing. Men are jerks!" She blurted angrily."Not all, not all!" Jack stated. "Let me share your dissatisfaction with life and work, babe. I'm here to listen to your problems and concerns. Allow me to be your sunshine today to brighten your gloomy days," he said with a reassuring smile.Briana smiled for the first time since her ordeal with Mr. Johnson.She feels better now. What more could she want than a beautiful beach in front of her and the man of her dreams sitting beside her?'Screw you, Mr. Johnson!' she muttered to herself.Briana fixed her gaze on Jack. "So you're spying on me? Did you follow me from my office to the hotel to this loc
Briana finally woke up after an hour, stretching her body like a sluggish cat on vacation. She looked at her handsome companion beside her, he was still fully clothed, indicating that he did not take advantage of her enticing nakedness.She'd dozed off because Jack's massage was so relaxing, it relieved her tense muscles and put her mind at ease. She adored his face, his eyes closed and pretending to snore, but she knows he's not truly asleep."Wake up, lover boy!" she quipped, rubbing his chiseled abdomen.Jack pretended to awaken, wearing a Cheshire cat grin on his face. "You're awake, babe! Are you hungry? Thirsty ? Do you want to eat something? We can have the restaurant deliver food to us," he suggested.Briana giggled. "Later... Please massage me first. I like how you massage my back, it's so relaxing that I fall asleep right away," she stated."Okay, no worries. Do you prefer a front or back massage?" Jack asked."Front massage this time," Briana replied.Jack sported a mischie
"What?" she asked, surprised. "Would you like me to be your sugar baby and you to be my sugar daddy?" Briana asked, laughing hard. "Well, that's different, babe. As you can see, I consider you my wife already, so it's only natural that I will provide for your needs. Please don't call me your sugar daddy, call me your husband instead!" Jack insisted in a serious manner. Briana laughed even more. "Stop joking, please. I will only depend on you for money if we are already legally married. I'm still your girlfriend, you are not obliged to pay for my bills. No thanks!" She politely declined his generous offer. Jack sighed, feeling disappointed. He was actually hoping that she would accept his offer in a heartbeat, things would be easier that way. "I thought that you were already tired and fed up with your job." "Not really. I just don't like those men who think they can buy me with their money. I loathed those men, but there are other clients who are good and decent people, so yeah, no
Briana received a text message from her boss Miranda, demanding that she meet with her at the latter's office as soon as possible.She left her cubicle and walked straight ahead to her boss's office, located at the end of the hallway.When she entered the office, Miranda was talking to someone on her phone, so she settled herself on the chair, facing her boss, already mentally preparing what she was going to explain to her after failing to get Mr. Johnson's approval of the insurance policy they were offering to his business empire built around the country.Miranda was in her late 40's and a strict boss to everyone, but she was someone Briana deeply respected and admired because she was her mentor when she was still a newbie in the insurance industry.She was sweating right now because she had failed to complete her most important task, convincing Mr. Johnson to accept their insurance policy for their employees across the country.After a few minutes of talking to someone on the phone,
Briana noticed the conflicting emotions in her mentor's eyes. "It's fine, Ma'am, if you don't feel comfortable telling me about your secret. You are under no obligation to tell me anything. Don't be concerned, I will pretend that I heard nothing from you, and your secret is safe with me." "It's all right, I'll tell you anyway," Miranda explained. "I obtained my current status after a year-long romance with the late owner of this company. For a long time, we were able to keep our affair hidden from his family and wife. That's why, after a few years of working for him, he promoted me to this position. He taught me how to run his business well and eventually promoted me to CEO of his company before he died of cancer three years ago," she said, her voice breaking with emotion. Briana was taken aback when she learned her boss's darkest secret. "But, ma'am, why do you have to do it? I don't get it..." Miranda let out a deep sigh. "I know you must think I'm a gold digger, but I was living
Both cars were parked in front of Briana's house, and they both exited simultaneously.Briana gave Jack a brief glance before inserting the key into the lock and opening the door.The couple walked into the house.Briana's glum expression caught Jack's attention. "What's wrong, babe?" he asked as he lowered himself onto the sofa."Nothing," Briana said, dismissing his question before adding, "I'll go to my room to change. Are you staying for dinner tonight?""Of course!" Jack responded. "We won't cook for dinner, we'll just order home delivery," he added."OK, you're the boss," Briana said, walking into her bedroom."Babe, what do you want to eat for dinner tonight?" Jack inquired."Just order whatever you want, as long the food is edible, I won't complain," Briana replied casually as she entered her room.Jack was baffled as to why his beloved was acting sad and bothered. Something is definitely wrong. He will inquire of her later. He browsed through his phone and ordered a lavish d
"Please, Babe, don't be so negative. I just want to be surrounded by my family as I accept my award as one of the city's outstanding business owners." Jack begged her to understand the overall situation.Briana looked at him, stunned. Her face was contorted with horror. "How can you possibly let me stand there while the press take our photos and you publicly declare me to be your sister? No way!" She objected angrily.Jack let out a sigh. "Babe, whether we like it or not, we're step-siblings in the eyes of the public, and it's something we can't change. Don't worry, it will only happen once, and you, Dad, and Mom are not required to join me on the podium as I accept my award. All I ask is that you stay in your seats, guys, and just be there among the crowds cheering for me," he stated earnestly.Briana pouted, still not convinced by his plan. "Our situation is already difficult, and now the public will undoubtedly know who we are, giving us even more reason to be cautious when meeting
