Xavier finally decided he had heard enough from her, "I never expected this from you" he said, stopping her from making any further hateful comments about Amber. Charlotte was surprised by what he was saying. "You know what Charlotte, I actually never thought you could be at fault and still lie to my face, I have heard enough from you, I think you should leave". Xavier didn't want to argue with her about the issue so he politely asked her out of his office. Charlotte's words got stuck in her throat, did he seriously just ask her to leave his office? He didn't even believe her when she was trying to defend herself but he believed Amber instead and even readily defended her. "Xavier, did you literally just ask me to leave?" Charlotte asked Xavier to confirm she wasn't hearing things, when he didn't answer she almost flared up,"How could you not believe me when I tell you that your secretary is lying and is trying to make me look like a bad person, she is trying to cause a rift between u
Sophia just said it herself anyway, the guy is egocentric, a womanizer and a jerk, so why the h*** would she fall for that kind of person? She suddenly remembered how that description perfectly fits someone she has come across, That Jake guy. Just remembering him and what Breanna said about him almost made her blood boil. She turned to face Sophia who was currently in her second Ice cream,"You know what Sophie? You should really thank your stars you didn't encounter or rather you didn't fall for the guy I met today, that would have been way worse, he fits the description of this person so perfectly in fact he is way worse" Sophie's interest was piqued and she looked at Amber,"Really?" Amber decided to use this method to draw her attention to something else other than her feelings for her boss. "Of course, you won't believe what he did to one of my colleagues''. "What?" Sophia asked giving Amber her full attention. Amber cleared her throat and began her gossip,"Well that j*rk of a guy t
Amber was in deep thoughts, does that mean he had been referring to her all this while. "Don't you see? He was indirectly referring to you, that man likes you" Sophia answered her question, Amber was still in doubt though and Sophia noticed this through her facial reaction. Sophia put her hand on Amber's shoulder making Amber turn to look at her as she speaks,"Listen girl, if you are still feeling insecure that he might not like you or having doubts that he might not accept the children, why don't you give it a try this one time? Why don't you open up your heart and learn to like him or reciprocate his feelings first without including the children in the story, once you are finally sure that he likes you so much to let you go, then you can bring the kids into the picture, try that first okay?" "And what if it doesn't work out the way you planned it?" Amber asked Sophia who rolled her eyes at the question,"Just be positive Amber, there is definitely no har
And at that point, he was about leaving the office when he saw a familiar figure, Jenna was even the one who called out to him, he remembered Amber leaving the office in such a hurry to get somewhere so he understood why she didn't come early enough to pick up her kids, that was why he volunteered to carry them home. After Xavier finished explaining his own part, Amber calmed down a bit after hearing what Xavier had to say. She remained quiet as Xavier drove them back home. When he stopped at her house, She came down and opened the car door for her kids to come down,"Be careful with your steps' ' Amber told Elena as she came down. Once the kids were out, she told them to go inside and wait for her, which they all nodded to. But before Jenna went inside, she turned towards Xavier and waved him saying,"Goodbye Mr handsome, oops, Mr Xavier, you are a really kind person" Jenna said smiling at Xavier who smiled at her back. Xavier already came down from his car so he was leaning on his car
Sophia's screen displayed Jake's picture. It was a picture she took of him. She first met him 4 years ago. In the picture, Jake was smiling brightly unaware that someone in a corner admired him and took a picture of him. Sophia vividly remembered she saw Jake first in a club, she went to that club to party with her colleagues when she landed her eyes on the most handsome human she has ever come across. Sophia continued staring at the picture as events of that day poured back into her mind and how he helped her four years ago.Sophia had a few drinks that night while celebrating her colleagues victory on getting a stable job, she worked as a waitress that time just like Amber while also pursuing a degree. Her older colleagues got a stable job at a company so they invited her out to celebrate. Sophia excused herself and made her way towards the restroom, but while she was walking there, she felt something wasn't right as if someone was following her. Her assumptions were correct as just
Jake looked at her to see she was smitten by his looks, Sophia finally regained her demeanor and cleared her throat,"I'm extremely sorry sir, he's a toxic ex who won't let me go except I show him proof that I have moved on, that's why I kissed you but I had no idea he would pounce on you. Jake nodded his head understanding her situation,"It's okay, I hope he won't come back though, by the looks of it, he still likes you". Sophia scoffed,"He doesn't like me, probably just want to use me as a punching bag again" She instantly went silent when she realized she might have said too much. An uncomfortable silence enveloped them, Jake didn't need to hear that last part, Jake cleared his throat breaking the silence,"I am Jake Elrod and you are?" Sophia smiled,"I am Sophia Anderson, nice to meet you sir and thank you again". Jake nodded,"You are welcome, oh and for the record, you are a great kisser" he winked at her as he left that place. Sophia blushed at his words.Back to reality……..Recal
Amber felt something wasn't right with Charlotte, knowing her she would probably try to hurt her or do other things at the bitter words she threw at her, but much to her dismay, Charlotte remained silent and walked out? Amber looked around the office in out of impulse, wondering what Charlotte was doing here anyway, the time read,"7:45" it was far too early for Xavier to come for work, Charlotte of all people should know that so why was she here so early? Amber noticed her drawer was out of place, she was about arranging it when her phone rang, she checked the caller ID, the call was from Xavier, she instantly composed herself and answered the call,"Hello sir". Xavier responded immediately,"Are you at the office?" Amber nodded and realized Xavier can't see her so she replied instead,"Yes I am sir". Xavier replied,"Good, I want you to check off at immediate meetings I might have today so just postpone them till next week" Amber wondered what the occasion is, she was curious so she aske
Amber gasped after Charlotte accused her of stealing the file, she would never do such a thing to anyone, of what benefit will be to her anyway? Amber raised her brow at Charlotte,"What nonsense are you saying? Why would I even do that in the first place?" Amber asked staring directly at Charlotte who didn't look fazed at all and kept on saying,"I should be asking you that? Why would you do such a thing? I remember coming into this office early in the morning to see you were already here and it seems you were quite busy with something, when I asked you about it, you flinched right? You did, so that only means you were the person who stole it". Amber felt a headache coming up, she didn't understand why Charlotte would turn the table against her so casually when she was indeed the one who caught her in the office that morning, what's with the lies? Amber looked at Xavier and her heart dropped instantly to his stomach when he looked at her as if he didn't wa
