The drive was quiet as the car went on a casual speed. Victoria looked out through the window and watched the city to try and act like he wasn't there, seating on the other side of the car with her. She had tried so long through their drive to overcome the temptation of looking in his direction to know if he was looking at her or looking outside the window just like her but it didn't look like the car was stopping soon.They had been driving for more than an hour now and it looked darker outside. She checked the time on her phone and it was thirty eight minutes past six. She finally didn't care and turned to look at him. He was sitting still with his eyes closed, she couldn't tell if he was sleeping because he wasn't making a noise but she was glad he couldn't see her stare at him. His lips were pressed tightly against each other as he stayed in that position with his head resting on the car's headrest. Victoria thought he looked tired but handsome still and his jaws and chin were nea

She checked around the bed for her phone like she usually did evey morning then remembered it was still in her purse. She looked at the table where she kept it yesterday and it was still there. She got off the bed quietly, took her purse and went to open the door, she wanted to leave, she had told Amber that nothing romantic was going to happen when she came here and she wasn't planning on taking a chance with Jake looking like underwear super model; Mike Petra, walking around the same room with her.Turning the door knob, it didn't open easily like yesterday. She sighed, trying it again, she really wanted to leave before he came back even though she didn't know her way around the castle-like house. Her thought was that hopefully she would meet Felix and ask him to show her room to her."Let me help you." She heard Jake and turned from the door, looking like a teenager that was caught sneaking out. He was fully dressed now in his usual suit. She gave way for him to open the door.Wi

"Evan is here?" He asked. "Why isn't he with you, let him in." Jake said and Drew left to return with him.When Evan came in and Drew left, Jake closed his laptop to give his attention to him because he knew whenever he wanted to meet with him in person and not call, it was usually for a good reason."What is it?" Jake asked when he( Evan) was not saying anything yet. Evans didn't bother sitting down, he knew he couldn't with what he was about to tell Jake."Uhm..." He cleared his throat. "I really don't know how it happened, I made sure the area was free of any journalist yesterday..." He inhaled before he said his next words. " There are photos of you and the Mrs trending on all of social media.""What?" Jake's asked in what sounded like a whisper instead of an outburst like Evan expected but he feared this less louder expression Jake was giving."I've had my team try to curb it but it's not just blogs and media houses, individual accounts are also involved, we can't really do anyth

"Wait, what really happened?" Amber asked seriously now.She told her best friend what just happened, how she was honest and told Jake that she thought he could have leaked the pictures."And that's what turning your mood sour? I mean, you just said your mind and you asked him and he said he didn't do it, there's nothing generally wrong with that? But you still shouldn't have, he couldn't have done it.""I know, I just...." Victoria trailed in her words."Yeah I understand. You should have told me you were having that thought.""I should have." Victoria admitted. "I want to hug you right now but you are at the hotel and I'm here.""Don't make me start to miss you all over again, I beg you." Victoria chuckled when she said that."Did you invite Kim over yesterday? How did you sleep?""No I didn't, turns out it's not that hard to sleep alone, I'm just addicted to been around you and that's got to change, I mean pretty soon someone else would be getting addicted to you.""Oh please." Vic

Victoria went down the stairs hurriedly, she was all dressed up for leaving to work. She went towards the mansion's avenue ready to leave then she remembered how long it was from there to the main gate. She hadn't thought about that while preparing to leave.She wondered if Jake had left, she didn't know where to look for Felix or how to call on one of the workers so Jake was the go-to, she was going to go back up and knock on his room's door, hopefully he would be there. She was about to do as she planned when she heard Felix."Do you need a driver, Mrs Topher?" He asked smiling like he always did since she came here."Yes, you have no idea how glad I am that you are here.""Will you be riding with Mr Topher or do you need a separate car?""He is still around?""Yes.""I want to go alone, I can right?" "Yes, you can but..." Almost as soon as he said that, a car pulled up front at the entrance. She was happy she did not have to ride with Jake, she didn't want to always be around him o
