Still wet behind the ears

The Holloway Empire, the biggest company in the whole of New York state. For thirty years, it has maintained the top seat.Jace walked in to the enormous building space, with Ray right behind him. They were both dressed in a formal suit, looking like two adults.The chief secretary, Daphne, hurry to him with the executives to receive him. They all bowed low in front of him in a two-column line, but Jace did not wait, he walked past them instead without batting an eye.They all raised their heads, murmuring after he had walked past, exchanging looks. Daphne did not wait and hurried after him, the others followed her steps.When they finally reached the uppermost floor where the Chairman’s office was located, Jace pulled the door open, his face in a cold, hard countenance.The chair swiveled around and Jennifer was sitting there, a smug rested on her face, her head tilted back as she enjoyed the moment.She raised her head to see Jace and her smile bloomed. She got up and spread her arm

Mindful of each other

At the hospital, Katrina turned to the beep of her mother’s phone on the side table. A text message appeared on the screen; she wipes her hands with a tissue and pick up the phone.She read for a second and her brows furrowed, she turned to her mother who was lying unconscious on the bed, the ventilator beeping quietly.Anxiety invaded her countenance; she wants to ask her Mum about the text but she couldn’t so she decided to go to Lawyer Callan to inquire.She arrived at the company after making a call to Callan and rushed to the reception desk. “I have an appointment with Lawyer Callan” Just as she was about to go inside, she was grasped suddenly and she jolted. Her eyes widened a bit when she saw that it was Jace.“What are you doing here?” his question felt like a shock.Katrina blinked her eyes rapidly; it took her few seconds before she could give him an answer. “Hum... to see Lawyer Callan” she answered truthfully, praying in her heart that he doesn’t ask or find out the rea

How good is a seductress daughter

“Boo!” Yasmin snuck up behind Katrina who was deep in thought as she walked the stairs.She jolted, almost losing her balance and managed to save herself from a fall. She clenched to her chest which pondered loud.Yasmin noticed her terrified countenance and frowned slightly. “What is it? Is your Mum alright?” she asked, worriedly, moving closer to her.Katrina tried to conceal and gave a smile. “My Mum is fine” she answered. Just now, she thought it was Jace and her heart had almost jumped out of her body.The fear of him finding out about her mother having stocks in the Holloway Empire made her shuddered. It was a perfect excuse to accuse her mother of having deliberately approaching Morris Holloway.Yasmin forced a smile, her eyes revealing her hatred as she stared carefully at her. After all she had done to ruin her image, she hasn’t succeeded. Now it was left to Collin to play a good card and deal with her while she gets busy with Jace.“How about I find a date for you tonight?

You enjoying it

“You can shove your money in your pockets” Collin appeared behind the boys, his face squeezed in an angry frown.He walked to Katrina who hands were trembling in a fist, he stopped in front of her and slowly took her hand. “Who are you?” One of the boys asked.Collin turned to him, his other hand in his pocket. His grip protectively on Katrina who looked up at him with her teary eyes.“I’m her boyfriend.” he let out.Katrina ’s eyes widened a little, she tried to pull her hand from his but he held on. She knew he was trying to help but she felt slightly uncomfortable in such situation.“You just disrespected my girlfriend” Collin added.The boys looked at each other with mixed feelings and were about to say something when suddenly another person joined the scene.Jace pulled Collin’s grip off of Katrina and pushed himself in between the two of them, his back at him while his daggered gaze on her.“For someone who pretends not to love trouble, you sure attract them a lot” he said,

Take responsibility

Katrina trembled, tears burning her eyes, rage and humiliation crashed together. “How dare you…?” she said hoarsely. “You don’t fucking know anything about me” she fired, her hands clenched so tight that her nails hurts her palms.Jace cold gaze was softened a little but he continued now, hoping for more reactions from her. “Oh yeah, I think I know pretty much” his words came out like a jest again.And Katrina exploded once more time. She moved closer to him, pushing him hard and angrily by his chest. “You don’t know anything” she yelled.“My Mum loved your Dad! Not for anything. She just wants to be happy with him and she did nothing wrong with that!” she blurt out, panting afterwards.Her fists clenched by her side as she stared daggered at Jace who was staring at her. Suddenly, his countenance changes.“Yeah, like that” his voice was low and intense.Katrina tilted her head up a little, shocked.“Defend yourself” he continued, stepping closer.She instinctively took a step back

Warmth in her eyes

Katrina jolted awake, breath hitching as she pushed herself upright in bed. For a moment, she just sat there, frozen, her heart pounding too fast.“What on earth...?” she murmured.The warmth of the dream still clung to her vividly. Her lips parted, a quiet breath escaping her and a nervous heat crept up her neck. She lifted a hand to her face, rubbing her cheek as if to erase the lingering image of him.Her hand moved slowly from her cheek to her lips, she caressed it, the taste of their kiss seemed to still be there.It made her shudder and she swiftly pulled the rest of the blanket off her body to take a shower to wash it off..--Katrina hurried out, her fingers fumbling as she tried to swing the small school bag over her shoulder. The strap caught awkwardly at her arm as she reached back to shut the door, her movement rushed and her focus split between leaving and not being late.The door clicked just as she turned and Jace was standing there, close. The sight of him hit like a

Brother's mode activated

Jace sat among his friends, they occupied the chairs around him, none of them sat close to him as his gloomy face seemed to frighten them away.He wasn’t listening to their chats, his mind distance away from the room. He has been replaying the image of Katrina getting into Collin’s car earlier.As he thought about it, his jaw tightened and his face scowl even tighter. After their last kiss, he thought they had gotten closer but instead she was avoiding him.Ray who was busy laughing out loud, enjoying the little drinking game noticed his hard countenance.“What’s the problem?” he whispered to him.Jace lifted his gaze to him but didn’t answer. He was about to ask again when someone approached them. She stopped in front of Jace, and everyone lifted up their heads to look at her.Her outfit clung to her, revealing just enough skin. The bold red color of her lipstick drew attention to her.She leaned down to Jace and planted a peck on his lips, her smile titled playfully as she withdraw

You are not allowed

When Katrina realized that she didn’t fall or get hurt, she slowly retreat her hands from his body and stared into his smoldering eyes.“I was...” she tried to explain but Jace let go of her and hurry at Collin who had also gotten out of the car.Katrina ’s eyes dashed to his hard clenched fists and she rushed to stop him as his hand raised to throw a punch at Collin.“Jace, please stop!” she cried, panting heavily.Collin’s jaw also clenched, ready to attack but stop when Katrina threw herself between both of them. She turned to him while still grasping onto Jace.“Please leave. I’ll call you later” she said, almost in a plead.Jace’s expression twisted in anger again, hearing that. He tried to charge forward again but she grabbed him closely.“Let’s go” she said and pulled him along.They both disappeared into the gate, leaving Collin who kicked at the tyre of his car in his angry outburst.The door had barely closed when Jace’s hand caught her wrist. Katrina gasped softly as he

Keep them away from each other

“I’ve had girls thrown theirselves at me. But never has any disgust me so much” Jace said to Yasmin whose fingers were trailing through his shirt.Her eyes snapped up in fury as she instantly withdrew her hand. She can’t believe that he wasn’t a bit moved by her.She was about to say something when the car pulled up a good distance away. Jace’s gaze lifted at it instantly like he had been stalking it.When Katrina got down from the car, he frowned hard. But when the two suddenly held hands while gazing into each other’s eyes, his face contorted even more.He moved instantly to approach them but Yasmin who was also watching the whole thing, stopped him.“I don’t think it’s right for you to go there” she said.Jace’s blazing fury eyes turned to her but Yasmin smiled carefully.“I told you she’s a seductress just like her mother but you wouldn’t believe me” she let out, while staring at the two disappeared into the building.She turned to Jace and put her arms around his neck, leaning a

You hate me!

Katrina swallowed down heavily, she tried not to flutter, not to let herself be intimidated by him. In this dangerous game, she would be the one getting hurt if she doesn’t stop it.“What was exactly are you talking about?” she questioned back, acting oblivious.Jace frowned harder, his muscles strained as he tightened his grip on her, Katrina ’s mouth parted but then she slowly closed it, swallowing the pain.“You want me to believe you’re dating him?” he questioned, angrily, almost mockingly.“I don’t care if you believe it or not.” she told him sharply.His grip tightened again and Katrina could not help but try to push him off. He gave in and pulled away from her a bit with Katrina heaving.“From now on, I would love if you stay out of my business” she breathed, her eyes slowly lifted up to meet his gaze.“I can’t do that” he replied sharply.Katrina stiffened, then recoiled slightly. Her eyes revealed the anger and frustration in her heart as it clouded and she poured out.
