Jessie placed her phone on the table with care. Sierra caught her gaze. "That is my closest friend. Do you have a best friend?" she asked.Sierra shook her head. "What do you think my age is?" She asked."Sierra, believe me, no one is too old to have a best friend. I'm 26 years old and my dearest friend is still at my side and we have been together since we were just kids.""I'm 25 years old and have never had one. My only best buddies are Din and Kelvin. James too. Except for Henry. We have a strained relationship. He doesn't get along with anyone, only his wife. It's as if she had him under her control.""Really?" Sierra nodded as Jessie inquired. "Your relatives are fascinating.""Jessie, I'm not sure about that." Sierra laughed."When Din returns, I shall express my gratitude. Thank you for taking such good care of me.""Why not? You are family."***Din looked up the station where he was supposed to pick up Bev on his phone. His sister pressured him emotionally once more, and he

The next morning, Jessie awoke quite early. She was already back to her old self and able to function normally. Her illness had already passed. When she was finished cleaning herself up, she went to the kitchen and cleaned all the dishes. She made sure she had breakfast ready before seven o'clock.Din awoke at that hour and prepared for work. He was used to seeing Beth on his bed every Monday morning when he woke up, but he didn't see her this time. He had stopped calling her since she had refused to pick up his call the last time, and he had decided to give her some space.He got out of the restroom and dried off before putting on his shirt and pants. He went with blue for his shirt and pants and suit, light blue for the top and navy blue for the pants and suit. Before leaving the room, he fixed his tie and checked himself out in the mirror again.He was the type of man who doesn't eat breakfast before going to work, and the maids in the house were well aware of this, so they didn't

Jessie coughed and pointed to the door. "It could be Sierra or Bev," she laughed nervously. "I'll go get it." She returned to the door and pushed it open. A woman with blond hair stood in front of the door, her gaze falling on Jessie. She was slim and stunning, but Jessie had never seen her before. Din's friend, most likely even though she was too pretty to be one.Immediately, Jessie has a negative impression of her."You must be Jessie," she said softly with a dangerous smile on her face."You know who I am?" Jessie inquired of the woman, who nodded. "I've come to see Din Cooper. Is he back from his work?" Jessie opened the door wide enough for Din to see who it was from where he was sitting after the lady asked. Din quickly stood up as she looked across at him. As he approached the door, Jessie exited and went to her room. "Beth?" Din called the lady's name. He was surprised to see her. After ignoring his calls for days, she suddenly showed up. Jessie could hear him. He wasn

The voice suddenly came back to her and instructed her to leave the room, and she realized she shouldn't have been there in the first place. What if she was discovered? What would she say she came to Din Cooper's room for, or what if Din Cooper himself met her there? What would she say to him to justify herself? Jessie immediately placed the album in the cabinet and exited the room very fast, but she also didn't notice the framed portrait had dropped to the floor and broken.Jessie was panicking on her bed at 6:11 a.m. when she heard the door open. Her blanket was slung over her head, and she prayed while clutching it closely. Din wouldn't notice anyone in his room while he was gone, she hoped. She had set up and left his room just as she had seen it. She hasn't gotten much sleep since she awoke at five a.m. to get some water and also entered Din's room. Din had entered the house discreetly, closing the door behind him. He doesn't want to wake anyone up with his presence. He'd been

She shook her head. No way, she's not going to let that happen. She needs to be selfish and also think about her family. "Granddad, I don't believe that's a smart idea. He's only recently married, so entrusting him with such a large responsibility isn't the best option." she said immediately.He smiled and nodded. With what she was saying, she was making sense. "What do you think we should do?" His attention was fixed on her. Waiting for her to speak. "How about arranging for both of us to go on a honeymoon?"When she proposed, Jessie's side lips curled. She'd be confident that he'd agree with her. "Honey moon?" Din's grandfather inquired. Jessie smiled and nodded. "You mentioned that he needs a vacation and that you wanted him to be happy again. right?" He gave a slow nod. "But how can we compel him to leave? And, in your opinion, where is the best place to go?" Jessie came to a halt in her chair "Granddad, you can leave that to me. I'll get back to you as soon as I have more in
