Paige stood in front of the mirror. She was still in her temp. room. Putting on a lovely ash colored dress Simon got for her. She twirled round, stunned at the perfection and beauty of the dress. The back of the dress was low cut and stopped close to her waistline with a tiny knotted rope at her mid back. She smiled satisfactorily and reached out to the shopping bag the dress came in, emptying all its content, including a four inches silver glitters heel, a perfume and a plain transparent box containing a bracelet fell off. She opened it up and brought the jewelry close. She didn't need a seer to tell her what precious stone the piece was made of. "Simon." She whispered in awe. A knock came on the door and Mrs Newman walked in. She helped take Paige's tote bag which had her few belongings to the car while Paige dressed up. "Oh, Mrs. Newman." She called. "How do I look?" She asked her. "You look adorable. There are no words to actually describe how breath-taking you look. Perfect,

Simon smiled dryly. He wanted to engage her in a lengthy conversation and let her know why he didn't agree with her psychology bullshit but he knew it was going to be a very lengthy one that might involve strong arguments. So, he let it slide. If the conversation had started at home, it would have been his pleasure to indulge her whole heartedly. "Okay, if this is what you think, then I'm fine with it." He replied. "I feel better hearing your explanation and knowing why you keep pushing me away." He told her."Kentley," Tenor called, coming to their table. "Miss Patterson." He nodded at Paige who nodded back in return as a form of greeting as well. "How would you rate our services?" Tenor asked Paige in particular.Paige flashed him a charming smile. "The food is lovely," she started. "The ambiance is so cozy and royal, I love it all. Kudos to you Tenor, it's a five star rating for me. Your restaurant is warm and welcoming.""And pocket wrecking as well." Simon chipped in. "Always ad

Back at the Kentleys, Paige looked at her dress one last time. It was without doubt the best dress she'd ever owned. She smiled recalling she thought the same back at Lakeview when she saw the dress Simon got for her. But then, in all honesty, this one presently, was the best dress she has ever owned. Her phone buzzed from a Stefan call. She stared at the screen for a while and as usual, ignored it. She went ahead to open up the second package Samira brought for her, the big envelope. Bringing out its contents, she discovered that it was the contract Anna promised to send. She dropped it on the console table and eased out of her dress, picked it up and hung it carefully in the wardrobe. Left in her underwear, she bolted the door securely and sat down to take a look at the contract.Paige has never been a calm and patient person when it came to reading write-ups with bogus words but she tried going through this one. After rushing through the first few pages, she was assured that Simon

His answer earned him a painful punch at his jaw that had him tasting his own blood. "I will ask again Mr. Riley, what brings you to Yardstin." Simon repeated his question. "I came to see Paige Patterson, my girlfriend." He finally replied, almost crying. "I'm listening." Simon urged. "I already told you everything. I came to see Paige." He replied, almost in tears. "And what business do you have with Fiona Reuben?" Simon asked again. Stefan became silent when he heard the question. He didn't know how best to answer. In fact, he was scared, bruised and tired already. His silence earned him another punch from Bruce giving him a swollen jaw. Charles was about adding his own punch when he shouted. "I'll talk please, no more. I will answer all your questions." He replied, weeping uncontrollably. "The mother contacted me and asked if I wanted to make some extra cash without doing much and I told her yes. So she made me an offer. She asked me to distract Paige and make her forgive me

Simon fell ass down on his bed feeling dejected, once she left. He had just removed Stefan from the picture entirely which Paige ought to thank him for. Now Tedson seems to be not just an ordinary obstacle. Even as he prayed fervently that Tedson will eventually lose Paige in the long run, yet he knew that the possibility of such ever happening might be very slim. He had observed how Paige's eyes lightened up whenever she was speaking of Frankie. So Simon knew that Tedson would never go away unless Paige decides to move away from him. But he just didn't know how to make that possible. Any average human will find Tedson boring but then, Paige wasn't an average human. She was his crush, the most beautiful girl he has ever met. Their last conversation kept ringing a bell in her head. He has become so attached to her that he was so scared of losing her. But he knew going after her and pleading every day wasn't an ideal thing to do either.Maybe she prefers the old Simon, he thought. Bu
