Meg walked into Jack's study, her heart in her throat. If hr turned her down today, what was she going to do?She had talked long with Juliet yesterday and she decided, if she never gave it a try, how would she know how he truly felt?She knew he wasn't the kind to show his feelings freely, so it was either she made him talk or they continued whatever arrangement they had going on.She knocked twice on the door and pushed it open."Morning", Jack said to her."Morning, Jack", Meg replied and wondered how to begin." I was just about to come and meet you. I need a favor from you", Jack told her." Yeah? "" I'm supposed to have some sort of business dinner with a few potential clients tonight and I was hoping you could accompany me", Jack explained."Oh"Well, she wanted to ask him if he was willing to go out with her to dinner. This was just

"Can we pretty please with a cherry on top focus on why I came here three weeks before your wedding?"Juliet sighed and stood up from the king sized bed."You've been moping all day and don't try to tell me no. I've known you for a long time, missus"" Probably jetlagged. Nothing more to it. I'll sleep on this comfy bed for a couple more hours and then I'll be fine"replied Meghan. It would do her no good to worry Juliet incessantly."It's a man problem, love. I know one whenever I see it and I know you're in love. But with who? Who took little miss all work and no play's heart?"Lay off, Jules. I'm not in love and I'm not bothered about any man either. I just wrapped things up early than expected and decided to make an early trip.I should have waiting until the last minute, now that I see it. Perhaps you wouldn't see me much to bug me", Meg said" I'm just worried

"Are you still with us?" Jack heard the snap of fingers in front of him and looked at who had the fingers"Yeah, I'm here""You zoned out for a moment there"" I know, dad. I was thinking", Jack replied impatiently. He had finally agreed to the board meeting but he did not agree to be snapped at."What do you think about the production line in Chelsea?",his father asked.Jack bit down on his tongue to refrain himself from replying rudely as he searched for nice words in his vocabulary. If he wanted to tell his father how he felt, his father's ego could take a bruising and Jack wasn't about to sour the sweet chance of him taking over the company. Not when he had worked tooth and skin to get a chance."I think it's a good chance, but...",he let the unspoken words lie in the air." But?', his father prompted.Inside his head, Jack smiled. At

Jack walked into his library and looked at the sofa for the third time that morning.Part of him, although he clearly knew that it was impossible, hoped that the second or third time he came in, he would see Meghan there.See her poring over the papers, reading with some much concentration, a smile forming on her face from time to time.He had caught glimpses of her, while she had been unaware.There were some days he had walked up to the door, his fist poised to knock but had settled for watching her through the slightly opened door.Meghan was something else, something he didn't understand. She was better than he deserved. She gave, her time and emotions to her friends.She approached life more freely than she did.How had she gone and fallen in love with someone like him.For him, she was like a burst of fresh air. Like salvation, healing if he wanted to be honest.He had allowed her to com

"Earth to Jack, Jack to earth" brought Jack out of his reverie." Man, you have it really bad, don't you? ", Nathan said, shaking his head in pity." Have what?", Jake was confused " I don't have the flu""Oh, not the flu. You have the love bug and it's eating you up", Nathan corrected him, laughing.Jack had accepted the offer to hand out with the guys after he had spent the whole day, trying to create a single document that normally took him two hours tops."I do not have the love bug", he denied."It's in your eyes man, I can see it all too clearly. You're thinking about someone every time you stare into non-existent space", Nathan told him.It was true. He had been thinking about Meghan. What was she doing in Paris, who was she with, was she hanging with another guy, laughing their heads off?Although he would not admit it to Jake, he had to admit
