Jennie kneels on the floor and picks up the broken glass. "Leave it, babe. I will clean them up." Jackson said. However, she did not stop. He squatted next to her and gently took the broken glass from her hands. Jennie glanced at him with her teary red eyes and tried to get the piece of glass from Jackson's grip. But her husband closed his hand tightly. "I said I would handle this mess." He said as blood dripped from his fist onto the floor."Son, you are bleeding." Rose cried. Jennie started hyperventilating. She was sweating and trembling. Her limbs felt weak, like she was about to fall. "I can attend to my injury, mom. Please get my wife out of here. She's experiencing a panic attack." Jackson pleaded with his mother. Rose knew if she refused and attempted to assist him, Jackson would get mad. Plus, he would neglect his health and make sure Jennie i

Chloe woke up feeling tired and drowsy. She spent the entire weekend wondering why Steven had not been answering her calls. Chloe knew that he did it a few times in the past, but it only lasted for a day or two. However, Steven has been avoiding her calls from Friday till now. Nevertheless, she was not planning to call it quits and give in to defeat. Chloe rose from her bed, went into her bathroom, stood before the face basin, and glanced into the mirror. She applied cleansing oil to her facial skin to clear makeup, excess grease, and soften it. Next, Chloe rubbed on a non-oily cleanser to deep clean her face and clear off any remaining debris and dirt. She took enough toner and dab it over her face evenly and let it get absorbed into her skin, removing any remaining bits of oil and filth left behind by a cleanser. Chloe then took a few blobs of the serum and warmed it up by rubbing it in between her palms. Later, she applies the serum to he

Steven shifts a little in his seat, folds his fingers together, and rests his elbow on his desk. "What can I do for you, Chloe?" He said, gazing at her intensely. Her dress code seems like she wants to do more than talk, and Steven does not desire to go that route with her. Not when he is finally ready to move on with his love life. Sure, Steven and Julie had started on a rocky path, but he intended to visit her office at midday, apologize for his rude behavior and take her out for lunch.     Chloe stared back at Steven, and he seemed sensitive by her presence. He kept rubbing his neck. Chloe knew that this was a habit of his. Whenever Steven felt bothered or stressed, he would touch distinct parts of his body like his neck, face, or hair.   "I can leave if you don't want me here!" Chloe replied. Steven

Julie decided that she had to give herself some self-respect and finally gaze away from Steven. She then withdrew her head from Daniel's chest. "I am sorry!" Julie said awkwardly. She glances at Steven, and Daniel's eyes follow her. His sight rested on his boss, and it was crystal clear to him. Daniel realized that he got caught in a love triangle that he knew nothing about at that moment. He then focused on Julie's face, and it seemed like she was the pathetic one in this triangle. Daniel could not stand the sadness in her eyes and tried to help her out of this uncomfortable situation. "Are you okay?" He said, placing his hand on her cheek and passionately wiping the tears from her eyes with his finger. Julie gazed at his expression, and Daniel did not seem cheerful anymore. Instead, he appeared concerned. She smiled and nodded her head. 

Jackson ran upstairs to get changed. He rushed into his room and approached the pile of clothes on the floor that he had left there previously that morning. Jackson grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans and a sleeveless white t-shirt.  "Babe, are you sure you want to go now? I mean, mom is still here. Plus, it would seem disrespectful if you just walked out like this. Why can't you invite Steven over? That way, we can all be together, and nobody will feel left out or hurt." Jennie explained to her hubby as she stood by the doorway.  She had followed her husband. Rose is not her favorite person right now, and Jennie did not want to be left alone with her mother-in-law at this time. She could have misled her husband, but Jennie did not believe she could do the same with Rose. Her mother-in-law remained married for forty-five years now, and with that amount of years, Rose had had a lot of marital experiences.
