Jeremy stared at her retreating figure, he could almost swear that they got each other where they wanted to be, but her walking out? What was that supposed to mean.It was almost as if the fragile balance he tried to achieve over the past few days suddenly shattered as soon as it was built.He sighed as he slowly took off the apron he was wearing.“Why are you surprised, she hates you dude!” His subconscious knocked rudely, he slowly turned around and hung the apron on the rack.“But not for too long!” He muttered.His phone began to ring in his pocket, he carefully took it out and stared at its screen. Madison.He swiped the receiver button, “Look Maddie, now is not the time!” He said before she could even utter any statement and ended the call.He released a deep sigh and then walked out of the kitchen, leaving also behind the mess they created.Jenna walked into the room and slammed the door shut, she slowly leaned heavily on the door and sinked to seat on the floor, she couldn’t

“I hope your boyfriend won’t take it the wrong way if he sees us here?!” Nimi finally voiced, his grip on the railings tightened as they stared at the waters down below.The night air was cool and dry as Jenna and Nimi stood side by side on the old, weathered bridge that overlooked the serene river below. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a shimmering silver sheen on the water's surface.Jenna’s blonde hair blew in the direction of the wind as she leaned against the railings, her eyes locked on the gentle ripples of the river. Her posture was relaxed, her fingers occasionally trailing the worn wood of the bridge, she seemed like she was in great contemplation, lost in her own thoughts.Jeremy stood just a few steps away from Jenna, he slowly released his grip on the railings and casually tucked them into his pockets.Jenna raised her heads up at his question,“What wrong way could he possibly take going out with my bodyguard?!” She replied, he nodded slowly with a small chuckle.

“You forgot about us Jenna,” Margaret said as they disengaged from the hug and began to take slow strides towards the swing where Jenna was initially seated.Nimi slowly stood up and gave them their privacy, after an exchange of a small nod of both greeting and acknowledgment between himself and Margaret, he walked away.“You never come here with someone, who is he?!” Margaret asked turning to Jenna as they both took their seat on the swing.“A lot of things have happened since the last time I came Maggie,” Jenna answered, the corners of Margaret eyes wrinkled up in a smile as her lips thinned.“No, no it’s definitely not what you’re thinking,” Jenna said raising her hands up, probably an attempt to stop Margaret’s thought flow, Margaret raised an eyebrow while lowering her head with a teasing smile.“He’s not my boyfriend Maggie, stop teasing me!” Jenna whined and Margaret bursted out laughing.“Well I didn’t say anything!” She added still laughing at Jenna’s already flushed face.

Next Morning ….The cooper’s Mansion …“Leaving already?!” Bob voiced, appearing at the head of the staircase, Jeremy paused in his tracks as he turned around to face his father.“Yeah, been away for too long, can’t say that I don’t miss my job!” Jeremy replied, Bob’s wrinkled facial skin slowly stretched into a smile as he descended the stairs, slowly and steadily.“I heard what you did for Thatcher’s corp, helping them out with Jerry why in the world would you do that?!” Bob queried, gently crossing his hands behind him, a grim look on his face.“There’s no other way to sell our noble intentions than that dad!” Jeremy replied a small sly smile at the corner of his lips, he gently adjusted his Tuxedo and took an inch step closer to his father, locking gaze with him.“I’ve become absolutely charming to her also, by the time I’m done counting favors she’ll have no option than to do as we want!”“You just focus on getting into her father’s head, I’ll keep on with her!”“I’m almost ther

Later in the Evening … 4:00pm …“So clear up this Apple crescent property, and give me a full report on it, I’ll weigh in and once I’m done we’ll put it up for sale, Understood?!” Jenna asked, looking up from the file in front of her and at Claire.“Understood ma’am, I’ll make sure the plumber finishes his work today! I’ll stop over there on my way home to make sure everything is now perfect!” Claire replied as she took the file from her and crossed her hands behind her, Jenna inhaled deeply resting her full weight on the chair as she crossed her legs.“No, that would be too stressfull for you!” Claire looked up at her abruptly with wide ears and unbelievable eyes.“Just go over and clear the property tomorrow, Send the full report to me before evening!” Jenna continued, gently swirling the chair she was seated on.“Thank you so much ma’am,”“Thanking me for something as trivial as this makes it seem like I’m a wicked boss!” She uncrossed her right leg immediately as she placed it me
