Lucas sat on the couch right opposite to Jason. They were trying to play it cool but their disdain for one another was plain. Jason loathed Lucas’ perfectionist attitude which made him more like a male diva than a brand ambassador. Lucas, on the other hand, despised Jason for his natural talents and tendency to breeze through everything whereas other people had to work hard for it.
“We need you to model for our showcase in front of Oskar Jung,” Jason said curtly. “Our designers will be creating the outfit. If you’re the model, Oskar Jung will be able to judge our designs and come on board for the fashion show next month.”
“You want to use my fame to show off in front of Oskar Jung?” Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted to show off your talents without using my st
Alina came running towards the duo when they entered the house. “Big sis!” she yelped and hugged Alya, crying hard.“Why are you crying?” Alya asked in astonishment.“She was worried for you,” David explained, coming forward. When Jason called him that Alya was found, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They were worried that she might have been kidnapped by someone.“What happened, sir?” David asked. “How did you find her?”To the surprise of both David and Alina, Jason snickered. He was snickering before letting out a loud laughter while Alya made a face at him.“A pervert took me away!&rdqu
Jason pulled up in front of Maxwell’s mansion. Turning to the girls, he said, “This is it.”But they were not listening to him. Instead, they gaped at the mansion in front of them. Alina turned to her uncle, her face stunned.“Uncle, are you the heir of grandpa Maxwell?” she whispered.“Yeah, why?” he frowned.“So, one day, this mansion will be yours?” she gaped. “Can we live in it?”Jason shook his head in dismay. Standing in front of them was a five-storey Victorian style mansion which looked as if it could house the entire country’s people. The steep rooftops were made of grey concre
The woman untangled her arm from Cain’s and stepped forward to greet Alya.“We meet again,” she remarked, holding out her hand. “I’m Jenna. Jenna Park.”Alya was hesitant to shake her hand. The woman was quite attractive with her dark hair parted to her side. She wore a high necked beige dress which parted downwards to show her heavy cleavage and she was wearing a pair of dazzling beige earrings. Her dress was perfectly hugging her voluptuous curves and her smooth skin was expertly dabbed with makeup. Compared to her, Alya felt underdressed.Jenna looked at her from head to toe. “Nice dress,” she commented.She masked her comment with sarcasm but she knew her insult wa
Jason stiffened at the sight of the loathful duo while Cain simply sipped water from his glass. If there was something common between the cousins, it was their dislike of this particular pair.“Who the hell are they?” Alina muttered at Jason. Alya also leaned in close to them.“Why am I getting bad vibes from them?” she whispered.“I’ll tell you two later but right now, keep up the act,” Jason muttered back at them. The couple who just entered were in their fifties. Aaron had blue eyes like Jason and Cain with the same oval face as his son. In fact, he looked a lot similar to Cain with the same hair except for the age lines on his face.Dahlia, on the other hand, was a
Jason was wincing inwardly but he knew that the damn butler was up to something. Yang had sent the food list specifically as per Alya’s preference. There was no way that Yang would include only non-vegetarian dishes.Austin had been loyal to the Tang’s for years and was one of Cain’s most trusted men. There was no doubt that after hearing Yang’s instructions, Austin had manipulated the list to make grandpa Max believe that Alya loved meat dishes. But if Alya refused to eat, it would be an insult to Max because for him, food was a sacred thing. Anyone refusing to eat in his household would fall in his eyes.I’ll have to deal with this, Jason decided.“Come on, honey,” he said, trying to mimic a sweet tone. “Say ahhh!&rdquo
Alya was nervous. Sharing a room with Jason was making her fidget. She glanced at him as they walked up the stairs but he seemed to be unfazed by it. One of the maids had escorted Alina to another bedroom so it made the mermaid even more nervous to be staying the night with Jason.Her heart was beating very fast. Jason did not seem to notice her predicament. He was leading her to his room without much care.“This is it,” he said. They stopped in front of a large mahogany door. He pushed it open for her.“Woah!” Alya exclaimed. The entire room was divided into two segments. The main bedroom was separated by a sliding door while the rest of the room was a fireplace. Unlike the rest of the mansion, Jason’s room had a blue ambience. The walls were p
Alya had just finished her swim and gotten out of the pool, her tail changing back to her legs. She was about to grab a towel from a chair nearby when the door opened and someone walked in.“Alya, I told you to go to sleep-” Jason was saying as he opened the door. Alya froze and spun around to find him staring at her in shock. His face was becoming redder and even she was feeling highly embarrassed.“Y-y-y-y-you…” he stammered. Alya also stared back at him in horror and quickly grabbed a towel to cover herself.“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NAKED?” he yelled. Jason immediately turned around to not look at her anymore. His whole face had heated up and he was at a loss. He slept with many women and saw them naked in bed.
Alina gaped in shock, stupefied by the scene she was witnessing. She could not believe her eyes and had to dab them several times to make sure she was not hallucinating.Her uncle Jason was hugging Alya in his sleep!Meanwhile, Alya and Jason were fast asleep, unaware of the little girl who was still staring at them. Jason mumbled something and hugged his warm bolster, lost in his dreamland. He was sleeping soundly after a long time and was in no mood to wake up.Alina poked her uncle’s cheek.“Uncle,” she poked. “I think you need to wake up. Now.”“Five more minutes,” he mumbled and went back to sleep. Alina
