Two days later.After breakfast, the family was busy packing for their trip to Brisham City, which will take place that afternoon. The older couple would stay for a few days there with Jack and Briana before returning to the city.The older couple finished packing their things first because they only needed a few clothes, so they prepared food for lunch in the kitchen while the younger people were still in their rooms, packing.It was already 11:30 in the morning when Briana finished putting all her things in the travel bags and went downstairs to help the folks prepare food in the kitchen.When she arrived there, the dishes were already cooked and ready to be served. She helped her stepmother set the table and put

Monday finally comes.Everything was planned ahead, so there's not much to do for the other members of the family because the catering provides the food and the services that come with it.It was 3:00 p.m., and the employees, including Jack, were still working in their cubicles while the trio waited upstairs on the 5th floor.The older couple was relaxing in the living room watching their favorite show while Briana was in her room, mentally preparing herself to face all the employees later, after office hours.She texted Jack. 'Do you think it's too grand that you have to go to such lengths just to inform your employees that I'll be working for you as your secretary?'

She was fidgeting on her bed while waiting for Jack to text her good night. She was on the edge of a nervous meltdown, wondering what the men were chatting about?She hoped it wasn't her!She took a deep breath and tried to calm her tense nerves.Ugh! She can't be like this all the time!She was excited to start working in Jack's company only to find out in horror that her ex—her first love—Scott was working in the same company with her and her new man.This is going to be excruciatingly uncomfortable for her, she is deeply worried about Jack's reaction when he learns that she and Scott were once lovers.

Alvin was standing outside Jack's office, wondering why his boss was suddenly angry after hearing that his sister had inquired if Scott was married or not yet. If they are not stepsiblings, he would consider the angry expression on his face as jealousy. But he can be mistaken. He was well aware that having a romantic relationship with one's coworkers is strictly forbidden in the workplace. That must be the reason why his boss was annoyed with his stepsister's interest in Scott's status. He shouldn't misinterpret the two men's different reactions to Briana's innocent question. But somehow his instinct tells him something is going on with the three people, and sad to say, he won't be here anymore to discover more of the juicy drama. He can't think of any oth

"Why are you looking startled, Bri?" Scott asked."Nothing!" Briana answered, shaking her head, and proceeded to walk in the direction of her room, where she disappeared.Scott sighed, feeling sad that Briana is determined to ignore him by giving him the cold shoulder every time they see each other. Was she testing him? Punishing him or making him work for it by playing hard to get?No matter what she was trying to do, he had plenty of time to analyze her behavior and react accordingly. He will bide his time and wait for the right time to go after her again. This time, he wants her to know that his desire to be with her is sincere.He grabbed the doorknob and entered Jack's room to discuss with him the robust growth
