I am her friend. How is she doing?.”“I can’t tell you it would be best if her husband, boyfriend, or mother is here.” The nurse said.“She is an orphan and a divorcee. Where do you expect her to get all of those listed attributes?” He raised his voice at her.Carla rubbed at his back. “Calm down, Xander. The young lady is only doing her job.”“Then she should do it bloody right.” He growled.The older woman turned to the nurse, who looked pale. “I am sorry, my dear.

Let him see the doctor.”“Yes, ma’am.” The nurse replied meekly and urged Xander to come with her.“Hello, doctor,” Xander said in a calmer voice when he entered the office. “I am Xander Jackson, Nina Ruiz’s guardian.” He said.“Welc
Chapter 59 Two SistersDAWN’S HOME, NEW YORK.Dawn gritted her teeth angrily as she stared at her laptop screen. She can’t seem to understand what is going on. Dawn would like to believe someone manipulated the charts. When the marketing department sent the report to her, she didn’t think about it until she called a board member to affirm it.X&J Foods has broken its record, making massive sales in less than forty-eight hours of product promotion. She shut her eyes tightly and screamed at the top of her voice. The more she tries to ruin Nina, the stronger she gets. Not even the scandal has deterred her.Standing up, Dawn paced the room back and forth, thinking about what to do. She snapped her finger at the thought that crossed her mind. She would need to put in more pressure. Also, the first plot is still very much intact.

I didn’t want her to come home and find me with you. It might raise suspicions.”She nodded in agreement. “It would truly. So what did you find?”His face fell. “It's quite serious, Carla. I do not know who started the cruel discussion. But I feel so sorry for Nina. There have been rumors spreading around about her. They said she is sleeping with Xander to maintain her place in the company.”“What? Why would anyone say something like that?”He sighed and tapped on his phone to show her the screenshot of the messages he found on the group page, just in case someone intended to delete it. “Check this out.”Carla blinked in disbelief as she read through the content. She clasped a hand over her mouth. “None of this is true. Don’t they have jobs to do?”“I wonder myself so that I will send

How are you doing today?” She asked, holding up her motherly smile.Nina’s voice sounded coarse as she spoke. “Fine, thank you.”Carla didn’t believe a word she said. The woman sat opposite her with a concerned look on her face. “I know you were crying last night. I didn’t mean to evade your privacy, but I had brought you food when I heard you sobbing, and from the look of things, you didn’t eat last night.

X&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.Nina glanced tiredly at the building. Her hands shook hard as she held on tightly to the steering wheel. The last two weeks have been nothing short of hellish. Dawn stuck to her decision to cut their budget short, and Nina had to work twice as hard, especially with the marketing team.Her heart raced in anxiety as she stepped out of the car and made her way to the building. The weekend would be all about paperwork and work and nothing more. Her meals were only on time due to Carla’s presence. She is the one thing from Xander. Nina can’t cut off knowing how good she is at what she does.Stepping into the elevator, she mumbled a good morning to the three ladies, but they appeared to be busy whispering in each other’s ears.

Chapter 54 Angry BirdDAWN’S HOME, NEW YORK.Minny hissed as she tossed her phone onto the couch. She has been trying to reach Jace, but he seems to be having fun ignoring her.“What's with the face?” Dawn asked, sitting opposite her with a bowl of ice cream.“It’s Jace; that dude gets on my nerves like no other.”“Are you that into him? Because it appears that you call him more than your supposed boyfriend.”Minny gave her a side glare but didn’t say anything in response.Dawn sniffed, “You already have a man who dotes on you. That should be enough. Let Jace be. It is unheard of that two sisters are after the same brothers. I wanted Xander first, so let me have him.”“No one is stopping you.” Minny retorted with an eye roll.“You know what I am talking about, Minny. What you like is the thrill that comes with sneaking around with Jace. I don’t think you want him that much.”“I do want him. There is nothing wrong with having a second option. What if Reece starts acting up? I need some

Nina was shocked to see Tania curled up on the couch and watching a reality show.“Tania? When did you arrive?” She asked.“I came with Jace to surprise you. But a certain someone chooses to remain indoors.” Tania replied, flaring her nose.“Why didn’t you knock on my door?”“Why? Carla already clarified that you must have intentionally chosen to stay deaf. Which means you don’t want to see anyone. I couldn’t leave you. And now my ride back to school is gone.”“I am so sorry. I will drive you back, please. I didn’t realize you were
Chapter 52 Who is the problem?JACE’S PENTHOUSE, NEW YORK.Jace groaned as his phone rang loudly. He blinked rapidly to adjust his eyes to the beaming sun. He let out a wince at the sharp ache in his head. He had a Migraine from his excess drinking last night. He managed to sit up and glanced around quickly for his damned phone that wouldn’t stop ringing.“What?” He bellowed at his brother on the other end.Xander sucked his teeth and switched to video call. Jace mumbled some incoherent words under his breath. Before he finally allowed the switch.“Are you drunk?” He asked.Jace sniffed and staggered towards the kitchen to get water. “The right question is, do I have a hangover? And yes, I do.”“Why is that?”He winced, rubbing at his head. “Please, Xander. You are not around, so do not make me worry about what you think of me.
