JASON
I was walking down the hallway when I saw a kid standing near the reception. He was wearing a red sweatshirt and black trousers. He had a tiny backpack hug around his back.
Who’s child is he? I walked up to that kid and placed my car keys on the reception desk.
“Hi, who are you looking for?” I asked the child, crouching down to his eye level.
“Mommy,” he said looking me in the eyes. He didn’t seem scared or lost. It was as if he knew what was going on. I thought the kid had accidentally come here or lost his way but he, on the other hand, was sure of where he was. Most of all, why was he here? And why did the reception and the security let him in?
“Are you lost?” I asked him.
“No. My mommy will be here to pick me up soon.” He said looking away from me. He was playing with the straps of his backpack.

INEZI was about to go towed when my phone started buzzing. I picked it up from the nightstand and looked at the caller Id. Low and behold it was,Mr. Pervert.How did I not think about this? I looked up at the clock and it was 12:30 AM. Just what is he thinking? I didn’t waste a single second and hung up on the call without even attending it.I swear this man is driving me to my limits. I put my phone back on the nightstand and slipped under the covers. I didn’t want to ruin my sleep because of him. I was way too exhausted and drifted into a deep slumber.I have woken up again because of my phone. I was a light sleeper and the smallest noise was enough to wake me up easily. I groaned loudly in frustration. I picked up my phone from the nightstand. My eyes were half-closed and I tried to get a glimpse of the asshole who was calling me at this hour.

INEZI used my keys to let myself in. I knew Mel would have been sleeping and I didn’t want to disturb him. It was 10:25 PM. I went to my room and dropped all of the stuff I had been carrying. I wanted a hot shower to relax. I was tired and my eyes were practically shutting themselves but my stomach growled in hunger. After the shower, I changed myself into a tee and pajama pants. I went to the kitchen to have my dinner.As soon as entered I saw Lizzy sitting on the bar stool with her head resting on the counter. She had probably been waiting for me. I should have called and informed her but I was too engrossed that I completely forgot about it. Walked up to her and gently shook her.“Lizzy go and sleep,” I said and she looked up at me. I could tell she was tired. Looking after Mel and the house is a big task.“No it's fine, I still have some cleaning in the kitchen.&rdq
JASONI couldn’t believe my eyes. So am I wrong? Was she not who I think she is?For as long as I remember, Courtney has been left-hand dominant. Am I losing my shit? Am I just comparing two random people to be the same? Is she truly not Courtney? I wanted answers but I was getting more questions.I was so engulfed, that I didn’t even notice that she had already left. It was all getting too complicated. I didn’t know what was wrong or right anymore. Was I chasing after a very wrong person? I sighed defeatedly and hung my head low.The day dragged along with me getting the thought of Inez. She rarely came in and tried to stay as far as possible. It was pretty clear that she didn’t like me. I shouldn’t have done that either because that was very stupid and disrespectful of me. I shouldn’t have even touched her today morning. After she told me how much she disliked me
JASONToday was the day, Inez will be working as my secretary. I didn’t know what to expect but I knew one thing for sure that she will give the best in whatever she does. I saw her performance record, she was excellent at what she does. I didn’t know how and what she will do, because she clearly stated that, she doesn’t like me and never respect me, which I will make her regret it. I wasn’t going to let her get away with that. Nobody talks to me that way. Nobody and she is just someone whom I met 2 days ago.I was in my car driving to the office. It wasn’t far but I decided to go there early and maybe plan a little surprise for my doppelgänger. I was still trying to wrap my head around how much she looked like Courtney. Every damn time I looked at her, I was reminded of the one person, I wanted to forget the most about. I had been trying to for months now.Courtney was everywhere. As much as I ha
JASONHer five minutes were up. I was waiting. For her to come inside and let me know her decision. I was quite confident that she will accept my offer. Who wouldn’t? I knew how much this job means to her and I was sure as hell going to keep her closer to me. I was going to get to the bottom of this doppelgänger mystery.I saw the door open. This is it. She entered. She produced herself very gracefully yet strong. Her eyes locked with mine and they held some sort of unknown fire in them. I was lost in looking at her eyes that, I couldn’t read the smirk that was plastered on her face.“So have you decided?” I asked. She pulled the chair out and sat in front of me crossing one leg over another.“Yes.” She replied without breaking eye contact.“What is it?” I knew what her answer was. A yes, to being my secretary.“No.&rdqu
