"Bang!" Jackson slammed the door as he entered his home. He met Jennie sitting in their bedroom after searching for her for a while. Jackson's phone buzzed in his pocket. When he took a look, it was his mother calling. Jackson swiped the screen to cancel the call, then placed his phone on the table at the corner near the door. She lifted her head and met her husband's glance.
"What?" Jennie asked when Jackson did not speak for about five minutes.
"Do you have any idea what you have done?" He replied, striving to keep himself calm and avoid another senseless argument with her. All Jackson wanted now was for Jennie to realize her mistake and feel sorry about how she treated Julie.
"I know what I did. I removed a thirsty chick off my husband's back! You are welcome." Jennie responded with a harsh tone. She would not allow him to feel that he's right again. If Jennie does, then there will be too many apologies she owes her h
"Honk!" Jackson jumped out of his sleep when he heard the noise of a car outside their house. He turned to wake Jennie up, but she was not in bed, nor was she in the room."No, no, no! Please don't be doing what I think you are doing!" Jackson said, getting out of his bed with a pair of white socks, a boxer, and gray underwear.Jennie heard her husband's footsteps running toward the kitchen."Good morning, babe!" Jennie said with a whisk in her hand and some tomato paste on her cheek when he enters the kitchen."What are you doing, honey?" Jackson asked.Jennie thought he was kidding with his silly question. "I am making breakfast for mom!" She replied.Jackson rushed to Jennie. He took off her apron, removed her hair cover, put some saliva on the tip of his finger, and cleaned her cheek. Jackson then fixed her messy hair and fastened the two loose buttons on
Jennie kneels on the floor and picks up the broken glass."Leave it, babe. I will clean them up." Jackson said.However, she did not stop. He squatted next to her and gently took the broken glass from her hands. Jennie glanced at him with her teary red eyes and tried to get the piece of glass from Jackson's grip. But her husband closed his hand tightly."I said I would handle this mess." He said as blood dripped from his fist onto the floor."Son, you are bleeding." Rose cried.Jennie started hyperventilating. She was sweating and trembling. Her limbs felt weak, like she was about to fall."I can attend to my injury, mom. Please get my wife out of here. She's experiencing a panic attack." Jackson pleaded with his mother.Rose knew if she refused and attempted to assist him, Jackson would get mad. Plus, he would neglect his health and make sure Jennie i
"Good morning, parents!" Julie announced when she entered the kitchen that morning.Mr. Harper was taking out the sweet potato pie from the oven, and Mrs. Harper flipped the pancake when Julie greeted them."Are you going somewhere?" Harriett said, seeing how dressed her daughter seems.Julie had on a fashionable tight black dress, a purple blazer, a black bag, and purple heels. Her hair got fixed into a Large Puff and Swirling Braid."Yes, mom. I am sorry. Because of yesterday's incident, I could not tell you guys that I got the job." Julie replied.Louis looked at his daughter's pensive expression and took a deep breath."Congratulations, baby. Don't worry, we will soon finish up here, and we can celebrate over breakfast." He said, taking the pie out of the baking pan and putting it on a serving plate."I can't eat breakfast with you to
Chloe woke up feeling tired and drowsy. She spent the entire weekend wondering why Steven had not been answering her calls. Chloe knew that he did it a few times in the past, but it only lasted for a day or two. However, Steven has been avoiding her calls from Friday till now. Nevertheless, she was not planning to call it quits and give in to defeat.Chloe rose from her bed, went into her bathroom, stood before the face basin, and glanced into the mirror. She applied cleansing oil to her facial skin to clear makeup, excess grease, and soften it. Next, Chloe rubbed on a non-oily cleanser to deep clean her face and clear off any remaining debris and dirt. She took enough toner and dab it over her face evenly and let it get absorbed into her skin, removing any remaining bits of oil and filth left behind by a cleanser.Chloe then took a few blobs of the serum and warmed it up by rubbing it in between her palms. Later, she applies the serum to he
Steven opened his office door for Julie and allowed her inside. He closed the door when he entered after her."So, what do you need to talk about?" Steven said in a cold, bossy tone as he took his seat behind his desk."Uh?" Julie replied absentmindedly.She got occupied with various thoughts like, 'Is he angry?" "Do I need to make things worse?" "Will he accept my condition?" "Or will he stop being friends with me completely?" "I don't want him to stop being friends with me!" All these considerations were spinning in her head, making her second-guess her decision."You do remember what you wanted to tell me, right? Because I don't have all day. As you can see, I am a busy man." Steven continued with his statement.After his remark, Julie recognized that she had made things worse from the beginnin
Steven shifts a little in his seat, folds his fingers together, and rests his elbow on his desk."What can I do for you, Chloe?" He said, gazing at her intensely.Her dress code seems like she wants to do more than talk, and Steven does not desire to go that route with her. Not when he is finally ready to move on with his love life. Sure, Steven and Julie had started on a rocky path, but he intended to visit her office at midday, apologize for his rude behavior and take her out for lunch.Chloe stared back at Steven, and he seemed sensitive by her presence. He kept rubbing his neck. Chloe knew that this was a habit of his. Whenever Steven felt bothered or stressed, he would touch distinct parts of his body like his neck, face, or hair."I can leave if you don't want me here!" Chloe replied.Steven
Loose tie, unbuttoned shirt, coat on the floor, lip print on his neck, lipstick on his cheek, a lady's mouth pressed against his and a messy desk was what Julie saw as Steven passionately kissed another woman. He lifts his head and stares into her eyes. Julie feels as though he was looking into her wounded heart. As the saying goes, the eyes are the window to the soul. When their eyes locked, Julie could tell that he seemed confused, and Steven saw that Julie felt hurt.Julie's heart rate increases, her lips shake, and her hand trembles. She pressed her right hand against her left arm to keep herself poised and calm."I am sorry, sir. I will come back when you are not busy." She said in a quavering and unsteady voice, as though she was stuttering.Steven woke up from his shock and realized what was occurring. "Julie!" Steven mumbled.He got off Chloe and concentrated on her. At that moment, Julie fel
Julie decided that she had to give herself some self-respect and finally gaze away from Steven. She then withdrew her head from Daniel's chest."I am sorry!" Julie said awkwardly.She glances at Steven, and Daniel's eyes follow her. His sight rested on his boss, and it was crystal clear to him.Daniel realized that he got caught in a love triangle that he knew nothing about at that moment.He then focused on Julie's face, and it seemed like she was the pathetic one in this triangle. Daniel could not stand the sadness in her eyes and tried to help her out of this uncomfortable situation."Are you okay?" He said, placing his hand on her cheek and passionately wiping the tears from her eyes with his finger.Julie gazed at his expression, and Daniel did not seem cheerful anymore. Instead, he appeared concerned. She smiled and nodded her head.
