Chapter 41" Mom? " Shane called questioningly." Alright whatever " Mrs Kent muttered. " I should go now, I have other things to tend to " She added and Shane's brows creased questioningly tho he's well aware that his mom couldn't see him." Mom? It's late at night? " He questioned and Mrs Kent let out a scoff to his ears." Yeah I'm aware and with that, I meant.. attend to your dad " She teased and ended the call immediately. Shane let out an unbelievably gasp immediately he could understand what his mom said." Gosh mom " He muttered and shook his head at how naughty his mom is.He sighed when he remembered his mom's words. He can't help but ponder about it. He knows too well it's Layla now but he still can't help but want to care about Brielle's feelings. How would she feel or react to this?He's a bit worried and that alone is confusing him. Why would he still be worried about her when he's really ready to let go of her?He let out a sigh as he walked his way up the stairs, in th

Chapter 43" I'm hired? I thought you're gon' need like some papers or... "" Nah, I know you well. You're brilliant and you have the qualities I need. You don't have to worry, you can resume work tomorrow " He said, cutting her off." Oh, okay then " Layla muttered.There was a brief silence before Layla broke it. " I should end the call now. I have to prepare for tomorrow " Layla said awkwardly and Shane nodded tho she couldn't see him." Ok then, thanks. Bye " He said and Layla muttered a * bye * before hanging up. Layla heaved a heavy sigh knowing fully well what could be the implication of her accepting the job.Mere talking to him seems like they shouldn't stop not to talk of seeing him daily, she's gon' feel drawn to him every minute. " I hope I can handle this " She muttered to herself. " So... " Mirah jumped to her on the bed. " You said yes to his offer? " She asked tho she knew what the answer was gonna be. " Yeah. He said I could start tomorrow " She muttered and and Mir

Chapter 45She was startled. She tried to flinch but Shane didn't give her time for that as he caged her in his arms, wrapping his arms around her and moving her closer to him.Layla gulped at their closeness. " Just stay still... for some minutes " He muttered giving her that usual sensational waves." But.. what if someone comes in? " She wanted to ask but then remembered she had locked the door at first, while coming in. She let down her guard and released herself to his hold while he pulled her more impossibly closer, giving no space in between them.Layla's eyes were just an inch for them and it was the same with their lips. There was not even a distance from each other. She gulped down more into nothing as her eyes roamed around his perfect and handsome face." He's handsome " She thought, his eyes glued to his perfect round face. They were like that for a while before Shane finally released her. She inhaled softly and stood up properly with a shy look on as she looked away from

Chapter 47Layla woke up with a banging headache. She could hardly get enough sleep. She was having a morning class but she had skipped it together with Mirah. Mirah had insisted on staying at home with her." You're going to work? " Mirah asked a bit suprised when she saw Layla dressed up for work. " Yeah, I have to see him and apologize, else I might die of guilt ' She muttered and Mirah sighed." That's exactly why you are having a headache right? " " Yeah I guess, but I guess I will be fine once I'm free of this guilt " She muttered and Mirah let out a sigh. " Should I go with you? " She asked but Layla shook her head." No, I will be fine " She muttered and with that walked out of their apartment while Mirah watched till she was out of sight and then sighed.** Kent's Enterprise **Layla walked in and even from a distance one would notice she wasn't looking really well. " Are you okay? " Tina asked as she walked over to Layla who was heading to Shane's office. " Yeah I'm fine. I

Chapter 49" Really! We missed you too " Layla replied, emphasizing on the word * We *.As much as Shane would have loved to stop them, he couldn't so Bryan wouldn't find out he was in love with his secretary and not his wife.Layla gasped inwardly when she remembered they were in Shane's office and Shane had been watching. She bit her lips slowly before glancing at Shane. " Um.. I should go back to work, I will see you later " She said and Bryan nodded. He understood immediately that she had to work." I'm sorry sire " She apologized and Shane was forced to nod even went he was burning in anger and jealousy deep down.Layla rushed out of the office and Bryan turned to Shane in smiles while Shane had to cover his angry expression into a neutral one." She's so pretty and nice " Bryan commented and Shane had to force his head to nod. " So where did you meet her? " Bryan asked Shane but he kept mute. Bryan chuckled. " Oh yeah, that's a dumb question. She probably came herself to apply f
