JASON“You look like shit.” I said to Tyler, who for some reason, had flown over to NYC to come see me. It wasn’t very often he did that, but this time around, he looked really stressed. There were visible bags under his eyes which made me raise my brows in concern.“That’s because I’ve been trying ti close this deal I have, and the man in question is such an asshole.” He said, calling the bartender over to get him a drink.We had decided to meet up at a club, which wasn’t far from where I had just had a meeting. “I did tell you that there is a good chance that that job might not be worth it, Ty.” He had told me about the deal, but I had declined, telling him that I already had my hands full at the moment. Which was true.Along with the various clients we had, we still had the company’s annual ball which wasn’t so far away, and as much as I tried not to be affected, I was beginning to feel the absence of my father.We were not close. He had hurt my family….but…I had never gone to this

ELENA"I just saw Colton leaving your office with a face that looks like you took away his ice cream right from his mouth." Jane said, as soon as she entered the office and closed the door.For the first time since I knew her, she was wearing a skirt that was so long, it passed her calf. And if I could recall correctly, that wasn't what she had been wearing when I had seen her last that same morning g. But her figure was to die for, and she looked good in everything, including this skirt.I was so invested in the dressing that I didn't even bother with what she had said and instead cocked my head to the side with my eyes trained in the skirt."You look really different." I told her eyeing the skirt.Jane scrunched her nose in a very cute manner and walked over to the couch which was fast becominh her favorite place in my office, and sat down, tossing her heels and placing her legs on the couch."Don't even remind me about it." She huffed, leaning on the arm of the chair. "Could you be

ELENAIt was almost past six in the evening, when I got back to the house, and that was because, I had waited for Jason, who didn't show up at the end of the day. The meeting had gone quite well with me sealing the deal without any much convincing on my part.I sighed tiredly and got down from the car, waving the driver goodbye, vefor walking towards the door.It opened before I reached it, revealing Lucinda, who was on her way out. She greeted me with a warm smile, to which I replied and offered to help me with my bags."No thanks. I can manage." I told her, respectfully declining her offer. I knew she was on her way home, the bag she held was an obvious evidence.Lucinda sighed. "I will be on my way then, if you do not need anything." She said and turned to leave, but I stopped her."Is my husband in?" I asked, eyeing the house as I wondered why he hadn't come back to the office like he had said he would."Oh, Yes. He is." She said with a nod of her head, then looked at the wristwa

ELENAI woke up the next morning to find myself all alone in the bed. One look around the room told me that Jason was not there.With a groan and weak joints, I rolled out of bed and pulled on the robe to cover my very naked body.Where had he gone to so early in the morning? The clock on the wall opposite me, showed that it was a little bit past five in the morning.With a yawn, I walked to the door and pulled it open, stepping out of the room slowly. Damn. I still wanted to sleep. But my stomach was saying otherwise.I padded down to the kitchen, hungry as hell, even if I had eaten to my feel the previous night, courtesy of Jason.After our very exciting time in the closet and in the bathroom the previous evening, he had taken me to the bath, and had run a hot bath for me, complete with scented flower petals. After that Jason had taken his time, scrubbing every inch of my body, while following it up with kisses.Once he was done, he had rinsed us off and taken me back to the bedroom

ELENAI walked into the cafeteria, well after lunch was done, and employees had already started to disperse. Some greeted me, some didn't. I just nodded at the ones that bothered to greet and smiled, even at the ones that didn't bother.I actually didn't care whether they did or not as I was only interested in one thing, which was the man sitting at the side of the cafeteria. I had chosen for us to meet here so it would not seem like anything suspicious. I was trying my best not to start any kind of scandal.And I knew that some employees chose to eat out, instead of in the company's own cafeteria, so the chance of seeing us in any restaurant around was high asf."Hey," I smiled at Jason as I sat opposite him. I had actually had my lunch with Jason and Tyler. The latter had shown up in the office with four packs of McDonald's, and I had never been so happy about eating something from a fastfood as he had invited Jane, much to her chagrin, and we had actually had a good time.That is,
