"Is there something going on that I need to know about, Amira?" Jayden queried with a scrutinizing gaze and Amira shuddered. This wasn't the time to blow her cover and make everything that she had worked for already mess up."Jayden, what in the world do you mean? You know I don't mean it like that. I just don't want you to stress yourself out for me, like I told you; I want to experience this work life just as every other person here." Amira said adjusting Jayden's tie as she she slyly rubbed his shoulders in a bid to twist his reasoning and make him take his mind off how tense she was a few minutes ago."It's as if you don't want me close. Like you're getting detached as the day goes by. Like yesterday, you didn't even return home and you just told me over text by midnight that you just wanted to spend the night at your place. That's not like you." Jayden complained but from the look in his eyes, Amira knew that he was slowly letting go of it.."I'm sorry, it's just work," she comme

"I'm still trying to understand why you would give Amira the go-ahead to stay over at the guest house knowing well that I own the company and I make the rules around my company," Aiden yelled as he was physically vibrating leaving the old man in thought of why his grandson was vibrating in such I tense level of anger. Aiden had gone over to see his grandfather the next day after the incident with Amira not because he couldn't enforce his own rules but because he didn't want to. That would mean bypassing his grandfather and though he was tough and rigid Eve to his father, he had never disobeyed his grandfather apart from the time he had to get married without his consent. "I could easily fire her completely but I'm still basking on the little, tiny thread of respect that I have left for you which you seem to be shredding bit by bit." Aiden bellowed as he slammed his fist into the table right in front of his grandfather who his grandfather sat there looking unperturbed. "Firstly, m

"What?" Summer, Aiden, and their grandfather all bawled out in jinx. "Yeah. Amira and Summer are quite close and the guest house being a little bit far away from our house is kind of an issue for their friendship so Amira should just move in with us." Marina concluded and Aiden was at a loss for words. "You're going to be okay with Amira staying with us in your husband's house?" Summer found herself asking and Marina nodded her head in positivity. "Yeah, so just tell her to come back with you. If that is all, I and Aiden would take our leave now." Marina said and with that, after exchanging some pleasantries with Aiden's grandfather and a little chit-chat, the couple were on their way home with silence hanging like a mist between them. AIDEN'S MANSION. "I don't understand this." Aiden blurted out the instant they walked past the front door and his tone of speech alerted the maids in the living room cleaning making them scurry away in fear. "What?" Marina queried feigning ig

2 weeks of Amira's suspension days were over and she had returned to work but she had been pretty low-key as the Juniors didn't listen to her as much anymore because she was one of the newest employees that got suspended just a few weeks after employment.To them, it was a mark of disgrace and an everlasting one at that. A new employee getting suspended not even up to a month after she resumed work, if she ever got another suspension, according to the contract...her career with the company would be ending alongside."Amira, the boss wants to see you in his office right away." One of the interns casually informed her and was about to walk away when Amira called her back for a reprimand, the girl halted shrugging her shoulders at a comment made by someone else, and then flashed a smile to someone who had complimented her dress."Are you even listening to me?" Amira yelled and the girl swiveled to stare at her while twitching her brows."Perhaps, you'd just state why you called me back.

Chapter 39"Okay, that's nice. But is discussing it by midnight the best time to have such an important conversation?" Marina asked as she lowered her gaze.She didn't know why but she couldn't look him in the eye. This wasn't the same man that had saved her from being a total disgrace at her failed wedding and this certainly wasn't the same man that had showered her with love and care ever since she got here.He was different and somehow, she couldn't see how it linked to Amira but this weird behavior started portraying the instant she asked Amira to come over and stay at their place.Though Amira hadn't moved in yet, so she wasn't sure if Summer had agreed to let Amira move in or they had decided against it."I would choose whenever I want to have a discussion and if I say Midnight is when I want to, then midnight it is." Aiden stayed and she nodded slowly."But I'm feeling pretty sleepy right now and yeah, you were right. I wouldn't have been able to do anything at the office as I'
