Sapphire was still enjoying her early morning sleep when someone banged her room door wide open. She jumped out of bed immediately to see who it was. Her red, long hair could never be mistaken, it was Zoey Anderson, Sapphire's best friend.
"Who's that?!” Sapphire cried from her dream.
She looked tall, beautiful and dashing in her outfit. Gazing upon her, she posed, resting her hand on her hips.
“Oh my gosh! You startled me!” Sapphire cried out loud. "You should have called me before dropping by, girl!"
“Why? Why are you so surprised to see me? Am I not welcomed here any longer or are you by chance hiding him from me?” Zoey walked to Sapphire's closet then her wardrobe.
“Hiding who?” Sapphire asked confusedly.
“Don't pretend as if you don't know what I'm saying.” She went to check her toilet and bath
***Sapphire walked behind Jade to the garage where he parked his car. They were about to leave and Jade was fuming as if he had fire on his head.“I told you last time. You can't have any other man in your life except me. You signed a contract with me alone, not with him!”“He's not any other man. Rome is just my friend's older brother which means he's my brother!” Sapphire clearly explained.“I don't fucking care who he is, got it! I won't allow it! Just pretend you don't know him from now on!” Jade warned.“Excuse me mister, we aren't even married so why the attitude?! My friends' brother is my friend. Same, your aunt's husband is your uncle. The earlier you accept people in your life, the better for you.”“Don't annoy me, Sapphire. I'm pissed of
***Later That Evening...They were seated in the bars, taking champagne.Lucas had a lot to drink because of the Chairman's words. Jade on the other hand didn't feel like drinking so much."What's up, Lucas? Why did you call me?" Jade asked as he watched Lucas sip through the last drop of champagne in his glassy, wine cup."The chairman asked if I'm a double agent working for you.""What a hypocrite! He's doing the same with Mr. Tim to me." Jade mouthed.Lucas scoffed at his friend then a smile followed. "So you knew all these while, huh?""Do you think I'm a fool? How could I not know? Why would he fire Secretary Ferdinand, when he have been working for him for so long.""Anyway... Because of that, I have a message for you." Lucas faced his friend as he addressed the issue. "Stop avoiding
****Sapphire cuddled her pillow tight as she managed to peep, her whole body became sweaty as she suddenly heard..."Fire! Fire! It's me! I'm so pressed, please open the door for me!" Zoey hit the door violently."Oh, it's Zoey." Sapphire informed Jade."Can't you hear me?!" Zoey intoned, still banging the door with her fist."One second, please!" Sapphire yelled and said her final words to Jade. "See you next week, Mr. Jade. Bye!"She cut the call abruptly and went to attend to her friend."Hello!" Jade muttered, still wanting to talk to her. "What was that?" He wondered and started at the screen of his phone. It was already 2:00 a.m."So it's Zoey at her door? What's it with that family again? They're all involved with my girlfriend and imagine someone knocking like that this late." He hissed. "What's it with everyone in that family? Th
****About to enter the dinning room, the owner of the hotel who also knows Jade greeted him.“Oh, CEO Jade! You're here?” A pleasing smile formed on his lips.“Yes, Good day sir.” Jade greeted respectfully with an simple handshake.“How's everything. How's the chairman too?”“We're all fine sir." Jade replied him.“It's nice to have you here.” The man mouthed. “Let's run into each other again some other time.”“Yes sir, hopefully.” Jade replied him as they shake hands and parted ways.They took their seats at the best and most silent dinning room in the hotel.Seated facing each other, Lucas watched his friend with so much happiness in his eyes.“Jade, you know.... This is the most you've ever talked to me about a woman.&r
Sapphire walked outside without looking back. Still pissed off about everything. "How dare he disgrace me in front of his friend, making me look like a fool?" She asked herself as she walked even faster, but Jade grabbed her arm out of nowhere.She jerked off immediately."What did you want again?! Why are you following me?" She cried to his face."Why do you walk so fast?" Jade asked, trying to catch up his breath. It looked as if he had run to catch up with her. She stared at him disappointedly until he handed her, her bag.She collected it immediately wit
***The Following Morning...At work, bored Jade rolled the sleeves of his shirt. Going through the last sheet of paper in a document, he remembered Sapphire. He quickly grabbed his phone and to text her.[Let's go have dinner and see a film tonight at 7:00 p.m.][As for the attire, wear something tacky.] Sapphire got his message and sent him an awkward couple sticker.She smiled at his messages while she thought of the clothes to wear. And the colour, pink. Definitely pink.Jade was about to leave his office when Mr. Tim ran into the office from downstairs."Where's the CEO?" He asked Barbara."He's in his office!" She replied to him immediately. "Hope no problem?"Tim rushed into Jade's office without even knocking."There's a big trouble sir!
Although, Jade felt heartbroken too, he drove back to his hotel. It was such Abad day, indeed. Thank goodness no one died. Lost in thoughts, Jade's phone started ringing again. He picked up while his eyes focused on the road."Yes." He fixed his earpiece onto his ears."I'll be there in 5 minutes.""Did you contact Mr. Johnson's family, too?""Good, look into some flights in California, so I can arrange something in case they want to come here.""Yes." He replied and dropped his earpiece."Fuck! This driving is driving me crazy!" He grunts to himself, adding more speed.That night, Jade couldn't sleep. He kept on writing and researching and working without even looking at the teddy bears key-holder this time.Till the brightness of the day. Jade was still on the work. He went to have his bath in the shower. Since he owns a hotel, Jade has
Jade was on his way to a meeting, so he tried calling Sapphire's contact, but she wasn't picking."Why isn't she picking up?" Jade asked himself curiously.Then, Mr. Tim called."That's a relief.""But please, keep monitoring the status of the media." He retorted."Yes, bye." He ended the call and zoomed off.***Sapphire just came out of the bathroom when she checked her phone.[2 Missed Calls: From The King Of Devils]She started at the screen of her phone, hoping he would call back.Just then, a call entered. She was excited but it wasn't Jade cling. It was Gabby.***Later That Day...Sapphire went out with Gabby. She went to buy some good-looking face caps and dark shades for Gabby. It was in BB Malls so, Ace caught
