Novel & Cerita Jjba Christmas

She dared corrected and I scoffed. “It seems no one has told you how things work around here,” she shifted on her feet as I stared daggers at her from across the room. “Your pitch was great except for one little thing, Leah,” I gritted out, leaning against the table. “We don't dabble in that Christmas nonsense and there will be no celebrations just as there haven't been for the last five years!,” a couple of my employees jumped in their seats at the increase of my voice. “Is that clear?,” I seethed, my tone dangerously low and as quickly as the words left my mouth there were collect nods.

He removed his hands from his pockets and leaned into the couch as he turned to face her. "So...are you going home this Christmas? Will you be going to see your family?" Jade paused, her lashes blinking as she ran through her head to figure out an answer. "No," she finally replied, "I am...uhm...I am going to be busy doing some things." She replied vaguely thereby heightening Jace's curiosity but before he could throw her another question, she beat him to it. "What about you? Don't tell me that you intend to skip Christmas with your family because of your issues?" She sipped her beer. Jace groaned as he rubbed his face.

Before I could figure out what was going on, a tall and slender woman approached Dylan and me. She locked arms with Dylan and shot me an irritated look, asking, "Who's this?" Dylan answered before I could even say a word, speaking in a tone that made it seem like we had coincidentally run into each other. "She's Blake's girlfriend. She came to look for him." The woman immediately dropped her guard and curiously gave me a once-over. She smiled sweetly and introduced herself as Trixie Ashford. She was Dylan's girlfriend, and she had returned to the country specifically to celebrate Christmas with him.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Jaxon said low and careful from his place at the door to the living room, his hand resting on the frame. His eyes were on me, like he was trying to gauge whether I meant it when I said everything was fine. I stood at the window, staring out as snow fell in languid flakes, casting a pale luminance over everything in sight. Christmas was looming, yet somehow, it didn't feel quite as festively joyful as it had other years.

Christmas felt more like a season for memories I’d rather forget. As I locked my car and walked past him, Mr. Jones cocked his head. "Not taking any time off for the holiday this year again, Miss Samantha? Always working, you are." I shook my head, pulling my scarf tighter. "Not my thing, Mr. Jones. Just another day as far as I’m concerned." “Well…” He looked at me with a sympathetic smile. “I always tell my kids, Christmas comes with its own miracles. Who knows? Maybe this year’s your lucky one.”

After we got the rest of my baggage from the baggage claim we made our way to my mom's car. "How come Jared didn't come with you? I'm really looking forward to meeting him." I asked my mom, though I'm not too mad he didn't come because I just wanted to catch up with my mom. "Oh, he had to work. But don't worry, you'll meet him tonight at the Christmas party. Mr. and Mrs. Conners are holding a Christmas party tonight and are excited to meet you. They also have a very handsome son, Blake. He's the same age as you and I think you two will hit it off," my mom said while wiggling her eyebrows. I couldn't help but laugh. "So, any particular reason why Sean didn't join you on your trip?" And there'

"Thanks for the invite mom." "Oh, of course. Come inside. The table is all set", replied to Jia. "It looks absolutely divine, Jia", complimented Jason with a pleasant smile. "Why thank you, Jason", smiled Jia. While the others sat down, Sebestian looked around in awe. Everything was decked out in bright but elegant and festive decorations. There was even a giant tree with presents beneath it. It looked as though Imogen had used the opportunity to finally dust off the decorations. This might just be the first true Christmas she was celebrating.
