Loverina was dumbfounded. She lacked the right words to use or how to react. didn't know if she was to thank him or remain silent.“Thanks!” she finally said it after concluding that it was the best to say. But Jayden wasn’t opening his eyes. He remained like that for more than a minute.Scared that something might be wrong, she passed her index finger below his nose to confirm he is breathing.“Is he sleeping already?” She asked in shock of realization. He didn't even wait for her and she smiled.Another thing she missed was lying down close to him as she used to back in New York when they ere staying in the hotel. She couldn’t understand herself anymore because the more she tried to understand him, the more wishes to be by his side regardless of their beginning. There was just something so pure about him and yet, he was showing everyone a heartless man. Or maybe that was a shield to protect himself, to hid his loneliness from getting advantaged of.‘Could it be the reason he is so c
Back to work.While he was still trying to log into his email, Rita opened the door without knocking. It distracted Jayden because he immediately turned to see who it was. Surely, it wasn’t Andrew.“Hey!” Rita said as their eyes met.“One day, you will give me a heart attack. Know first. One day I might be in a good mood and charge towards you before I would know it’s you,” Jayden teased, and Rita rolled her eyes at him.“You wish!” Saying that, she took a seat. “And you are yet to be in such a mood for years.” She laughed.“So what do you want?” he asked as he leaned back and folded his arms.“To use your room. I am so tired and sleepy,” she said while yawning.“No. You can’t for today! She is sleeping. You can stay in a hotel.” She frowned.“Who? One of your sluts?”“Hey, don’t address them like that. Also, she is not a slut,” he corrected, and Rita lost it.“Oh, I see. Who is she to you?” Rita’s voice was a bit louder than usual.“You do not need to know. And she is not like the ot
As soon as it clocked 5pm, the board meeting came to an end. Jayden asked of Loverina in front of Rita but because of an urgent thing to sort out, she went back to her office on another floor. Jayden rushed to his office, along side Andrew who had informed him that Loverina he wasn’t sure about Loverina and a few other staff.“Whoa!” One of them exclaimed at the sight in front of them.“You can leave now, I will call you later.” Jayden ordered and they all left, including Andrew. Rita who had just approached the door thought he would let her but to her surprise, “You too, Rita.” And shut the door close.Loverina had herself folded on one of his seats. It was the longest in the office. Her hair covered a part of her face which made it a bit scary.He reached the seat and squatted, slowly he removed the strides of hair and smiled.“I thought you went home already. I’m sorry for keepinf you waiting. I just have to work.” He apologized genuinely and attempted to kiss her tempting lips whe
Again they were silent. Loverina made attempt to move closer. She wanted to touch him and tell him how she missed him without minding if she was nothing. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to say the words when the door was pushed opened from outside and Andrew stepped in. His facial expression looked like one who had just seen a ghost.He diverted his stare to Jayden, and back at Loverina.“How?” It slipped out his mouth before he could stop himself. And quickly, covered with mouth with his palm, praying Jayden doesn’t pick offense and punish him later.“What do you want and sometimes, you should knock.” He cautioned Andrew.“I’m sorry sir. Didn’t know you had a guest around. I came to remind you that the directors are still waiting in the board room. Everyone is present.” He responded, trying so hard not to look at Loverina’s direction again. If Jayden was to forgive him for bashing in on them, then he would get provoked.“Tell them I will be there in five minutes.” Jayden
Loverina stood in front of the receptionist desk holding up two fancy bags. The people around gave her weird gazes which made her wonder if something was wrong or her clothing.“How many I help you?” The receptionist asked, scanning her from head to toe.This made everything worse for her. She felt so uncomfortable. Though she was certain of her clothes and makeup because there was no way Peggy would let her leave the house looking crazy. And regret flowed her mind. She would have just stayed back at home, missing Jayden in peace while keeping Peggy company.“I…” She delayed, thinking of the right way to introduce herself.‘Do I say girlfriend or a close friend to Jayden?’ She asked internally.“ have you suddenly lost your voice or something else?” The receptionist who obviously didn’t like her, asked with a scowled face.“No…. Not like that. I’m sorry. It’s my first time here.” Loverina apologized, deeply wishing a familiar face would come in to her rescue but unfortunately, none wa
Loverina tried to hide the excitement as she hurried through the small passages leading to where her room was at. Not minding to lock it after getting in, she took off her clothes and ran to the bathroom. She totally forgot how angry she was. It has to be one of her longest bath.If she was going to the company then, she has to look her best. And of course smell nice too. Not to overdress, she wore a dark blue jean and brown structured sweater, and a designer sneaker.The moment she got out of her room, she called out to Peggy.“I’m downstairs!” Peggy replied in a loud tone so Loverina would hear her.When Loverina reached, she was confused to see Peggy hadn’t changed her dress. She didn’t even look prepared.“What’s going on? You haven’t dressed yet!” Loverina scanned and Peggy didn’t look bothered either. “Are you not coming along?” She asked.“No. I don’t go out that much. We can’t all go there, someone needs to be home.”“Did Jayden…” Peggy interrupted, knowing Loverina might be
