Semua Bab MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Kennedy's POV The air of the night outside was very thick and heavy. It was the kind that will make your shirt gum to your back. My head was already pounding by the time I had entered the parking lot. Everything that could have gone wrong today actually did.There was a delay of a shipment and the supplier almost backed out. The payment also didn't go through and on top of it all the investors that I have been trying to calm down all day were now threatening that they were going to pull out.I touched my hand on my face as I exhaled. “Perfect,” I muttered to myself. The deal was supposed to be very simple and a quick transaction with clean paperwork, but instead it turned out to become a mess that had me stay on calls for hours trying to resolve problems that I did not cause.And then I began to think of her. Jane.The way she was laughing at the beach and the way she looked at me soft, trusting and warm and how the looks slowly faded away when I told her I had to go.I started feeli

Jessica's POV The drive back home felt as if it was endless. The street lights were just blurring as I passed each street. I could not stop thinking about the dinner I had with my father. Normally it was supposed to be a good thing but I ended up being worried.The way those two men were whispering and the briefcase with the documents that had the confidential settlement agreement label. I saw it with my eyes. I caught the bold text with my father's signature. Something serious was happening, something that was so serious that they were not able to notice me standing there. It was so serious that even a simple dinner was thrown off balance. I held my steering wheel very tight as my knuckles began to ache. Whoever those men were and whatever that they were planning was not normal and if the board was to find out I don't know what next.I now entered my driveway, the air from the night touched my face as it smelled like Jasmine from the garden. It was supposed to be relaxing but my mi

Jane's POV “ Jane… Jane…”First of all I thought I was dreaming until somebody started shaking my shoulders.“Jane! Wake up!” I blinked my eyes as I saw the light, then I looked at who was tapping me and I saw understanding in front of me. She tied her hair up in a bun and she was wearing a faded blue t-shirt that she likes to sleep in.“What..” I said, as I rubbed my eyes.Hannah crossed her hands and looked at me. “Do you even know what time it is?”I now turned to look at the clock as my stomach dropped.“Eleven?” I whispered. “Yes, eleven.” she said as if she could not believe that I was serious.I started panicking until it made me very dizzy. “No. no no no oh my God!”I jumped up immediately as I almost fell over my blanket. It wrapped my legs making me stagger like a drunk person.“Jane, take it easy.” Hannah said as she was trying not to laugh at me.“I am dead. I am literally dead.” Jessica will skin me alive!” I groaned as I rushed to the bathroom as I kicked off one of m

Kennedy's POV The city was very bright as if it was dressed in gold.The light that was coming from the evening spilled across the street as it was catching the sight of cars from the restaurant's glass walls. Sophia was already sitting down when I arrived. She tucked her hair behind one of her ears and she smiled brightly as she waved over to me.She was looking very put together as always. She wore a white blouse and a black skirt with a little makeup. Paris had not really changed her that much, it has only made her more elegant.“Finally,” she teased me as I sat down. “I was beginning to think that you were not going to come.”I smiled as I dropped my phone to face down on the table. “You know that I will not try that you're just going to fly back to Paris just to get back at me.”She laughed. “That is true. I don't forgive easily.”The weather came with the menus as she barely looked at them. We had actually eaten a lot of times here when we were in college before life now sent

Kennedy's POV The sunlight from the morning was on the wall of my parents' house as it sliced across the marble floor. The smell of antiseptic was everywhere as the slow thick of my grandfather's clock was the only sound in the hallway. The AC was also humming and the curtains were rustling from the wind.My father was now resting upstairs. His room had already turned into a half hospital overnight. The monitors were gone but the scent of saline and the echo of the beeping still was in the air. My mother had barely slept. She kept them moving from the kitchen to the room to cover the fact that she was worried with her routine of making tea and whispering prayers under her breath.I sat outside in the garden away from everything. The world out here was too calm for everything that was going on inside. The breeze was cool and relaxing.I rested back in my chair with a glass of wine in my hand and I tried to breathe the morning in. The taste of the wine was bitter but that was exactly w
