Jayden nodded a soft smile on his lips. "I'll make sure to invite you, Lena. I want you by my side," he assured her, his voice resonating with a deep affection.With the suitcases in hand, Jayden led the way up the stairs to his room, Lena following closely behind. As they entered the room, Jayden gently dropped the luggages onto the floor, careful not to disturb their contents. He turned to Lena, a warm smile on his face, and motioned for her to sit on the bed."Come, Lena. Take a seat," Jayden said, his voice filled with tenderness. He extended his hand to help her find a comfortable spot on the bed.As Lena settled onto the soft mattress, she looked up at Jayden with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Jayden," she murmured, her voice filled with appreciation. "I'm just so tired from the journey."Concern etched across his features, Jayden leaned closer, his eyes searching Lena's face. "Is there anything you're craving, Lena? Maybe something to eat or drink?" he asked, his voice lac

Vera, though still guarded, sensed a glimmer of potential understanding. She seized the opportunity to voice her truth, her voice tinged with vulnerability and determination. "I needed to speak up," she asserted. "I deserve fairness and respect in this workplace."Vera looked exhausted as she stood there across from William. The day sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on their conversation. She took a deep breath before speaking again."Sir, I need to talk to you," Vera began, her voice tinged with frustration. "The only time I have to myself is during lunchtime, and even then, it's only for an hour. It's just not enough for me to eat and recharge, and if this continues, I'm afraid it's going to take a toll on my mental health."William met her gaze, his expression filled with concern and remorse. "Vera, I'm so sorry if I made you feel that way. It wasn't my intention at all. I didn't give you all those extra tasks because you rejected my feelings. I did it because I

“ What are you thinking about?” Lena asked as she stared at Jayden, surprised at why he sat there without saying a word.“ I noticed you weren't present, what happened? Did anything happen?” “ No, Nah, No!” Jayden shaked his head, “ I just recalled something and I was trying to get into it!” He chuckled.“ Oh, okay! If you say so!” Lena nodded and turned to the desserts on the table, she took a bite and then chew it slowly as Jayden watched.Why didn't I say it? Why can't I say it? Jayden shaked his head and turned to a blank spot in the garden. He focused his attention staring at the spot for minutes until he finally cleared his throat.Lena turned to him as she took a sip of the wine, “ what? You got something in your throat?” she asked.“ No, I just have something to say to you!” He replied immediately.“ What is it?” “ Ehmmm I've been wanting to spend a really good time with you for a while now and I haven't been able to say it. I know we are good now and we aren't enemies anymor

“ Where is Jayden?” Vanessa ran down the hallway breathing heavily. as he pushed the office door open.“ Where is he?” She looked around his office then back at David.“ He just left to meet Lena…, sorry I mean a client!” David quickly corrected himself and continued placing the files on his hand on the table.Lena? Vanessa asked herself as she frowned her brows, she swallowed bitterly and then took another step closer to David“ didn't you tell him the meeting we have is urgent? Luke informed me he sent you an email an hour or two ago, why didn't you tell Jayden and allow him to leave like that? God knows where!” Vanessa barked.“ I did, but he refused. He told Senior Mr Huxley what he had to say before he left. You know I can't stop him, I just need to do my job! You can call Senior Mr Huxley instead if you think I'm lying!” David retorted as he turned to the files he was placing on the table. Vanessa glanced around the office for a while before she turned back to the door. Swallowed

Jayden leaned down on the chair and closed his eyes, for two hours he waited, hoping Lena would come but she didn't.The sound of Jayden's phone ringing brought him back to reality and he quickly grabbed his phone from the table and checked on the caller id to see if it’s Lena, but to his surprise it was David on the caller ID.“Hmmm!” Jayden sighed and hesitated before he swiped the call. “ Yes!” He placed the phone on his ear.“ Sir, we still need you here, the investor just checked into KD Hotels, he has refused to sign the contract and has been asking about you since we had the meeting after you left. I had to go there myself instead and I made sure I did some recordings on my phone so you can listen to it later.” David paused.“ So?” Jayden raised an eyebrow, even when David couldn't see his face.“You need to be here right now! He has been asking for you and he said the investment won't work if you aren't here. He’s still waiting, please come! I’m tired of explaining” David plea
