ANMELDEN"What a wonderful choice of clothing." He commented. Jade snatched it back from him and tried to hide it. "I mean, I really don't mind if that's where the money went into." "Stop talking nonsense. It belongs to my friend." "You used the money to buy things for your friend? Lingerie in that instant?"Jade sighed, "Please, spare me the questioning. It's already embarrassing that you had to find out this way and now, you are putting me in a tight corner."Jace laughed heartily and then stood up. "I am sorry. I just find it amusing." "Well, I don’t. She literally forced me to get them." She defended herself. "Then she is a very good friend." "Yeah, right." Jade carried her things inside her room and showered to relieve her stress before coming out again. She handed the card back to Jace "Thank you so much for your generosity." "Anything for you." Her heart tripped over that but she played it off. "So, how did you meet this friend? I thought you h
"Oh my fucking goodness!!!! Did he really say that?" Gold screamed as soon as Jade gave her the gist of it. The latter grew a bit embarrassed and had to pull the girl to sit next to her and stop her from making more eye catching noises. People in the park were already paying them attention. Some had even casted an ugly look at them because they interrupted the peace of the place. "Can you just calm down?" Jade whispered. "Ouch, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. It just sounds so straight out of a billionaire book that I couldn't resist reacting that way." She laughed. Last night, Jade had spent her time wondering who she could call on to accompany her for the shopping. Mara was not available so she turned to the next person that crossed her mind. "Yes, Jade? Good evening. How are you?" "Hi, Gold. Good evening. I am doing well. What about you? Are you perhaps back?''Jade knew that was strange to ask as it was still festive season and she could still be with her
When she opened the door, she noticed a man sitting on the couch. He looked so familiar. She racked her brain to just figure out once again where they could have met but she failed to remember. He stood up and bowrd politely to greet her. "Good morning, Miss Jade. How are you?" "Good morning. I am fine, thank you. Who are you?" She asked and further explained, "I am so sorry if that was a rude question. I think I have seen you before but I can't remember."The young man chuckled and adjusted his glasses which were perfectly placed at the bridge of his nose before. "Ah, I see. I am Louis, Mr Jace's right hand man in business. And as for where you had seen me, it was during the kidnapping incident that happened weeks ago." Harper crawled away from them. Jade snapped her fingers and then clapped as she successfully recollected her memory. "Ah, yes. That was where we met. Oh, remembering that incident has suddenly made my knees go weak." She said, exaggerating a shaky
Jace finished feeding Harper and sighed. He playfully touched her nose and said "Without ever planning it, I have suddenly turned into a fatherly figure." He then chuckled. But he quickly dismissed it as trying to make up for all the stress that he had caused Jade. Ever since she went into her room, she didn't step out again. It was already nine in the evening and she was going to be hungry. Jace had restrained himself from going to check her because she needed the space but now...he couldn't hold on. "I am coming, Harper. Let me check up on your mum." He gently put her down and went to the kitchen to get some things arranged as her dinner before heading to her room. He knocked on the door and attempted to open it but realized it had been locked from within. "Jade? Please, open the door. You've been inside for a while and you have me worried already. I don't want to break the door down so please open it." He pleaded. After a few minutes, the door was unlocked and pulle
"Mara, please, hold on." Jade rushed after her and held her hands. Mara flung Jade's hand away. "How long has this been going on, huh? What the fuck did I just saw?? My brother has been with you the whole time?? Wait, how did that even happen?" Mara was so confused. She was shaking from the hurt that she was feeling. She tried to piece all the facts currently but failed to come to a conclusion. She was more than hurt. "Are you dating my brother?" She asked. Mata had so many questions that she didn't know where exactly to start looking for answers. "No...no, I am not. We are not dating. What you saw was just a misunderstanding, I promise." "How long has this been going on?" Jade was mute. "How long?!" Mara half yelled. Jace finally came to her rescue, "Mara, you don't need to get mad at her. I was the one who made her promise me not to tell you about my staying here." Mara stared at her brother for a while and then burst into a bitter laughter. She face
"You took so long to come back." Janice said immediately Jade made her presence known at work. Jade bit her lips, sensing that her inability to come back early must have created some kinds of problem. "I know but something came up." "You'd have to explain that to boss. She found someone else to replace you." Janice gossiped. Jade's expression fell instantly. She leaned against the wall, wondering what next to do. "I suggest that you go and see her first then try to explain things to her. What about that?" Janice spoke her mind. Jade nodded and went to her boss' office. She knocked and only entered after she had been given permission. "Come in."She pushed the door open. The woman looked up from her desk but almost as if her presence was an eyesore, she scowled. "Madam..." Jade patiently called "Why are you just resuming?" The woman fired at her immediately, leaning against her chair. "I am so sorry. Something important came up that prevented me
"I am selling my company." Jace informed her immediately they settled for dinner. Jade didn't seem to be top surprise but curious to know more. He had already complained that things were not going well with his company so it was only reasonable that this was his next course of action. "But a
"Where are you?" It was no other than Jackson who was on the other side of the call. He was munching on an apple as he stared at his friend, Jace, from the other side of the phone. Jace was dressed in all black and was wearing a nose mask. "You don't know where I am? You can't see?" Jace r
Mara stared at her phone in her left hand as slipped into her desires, leaving the TV turned on and its noise fading right into the background.Where could her brother be? She felt completely restless and helpless. She was unhappy about it all. It was hard doing life alone...with no other support.
"What are you guys doing?" Jade asked and as soon as Jace's face came in to full light, Jade could hardly stand still. Despite how hard she tried to control it, she failed. She staggered to the side as she burst into laughter, falling down to her knees gently amd holding onto her tummy for balan
