Chapter: Chapter 34Kylie POV As I got into the car, I took a deep sharp breath, flipped my bag on the seat and then rested my head on the headrest. “You should step down from the CEO position! It has been one problem with Bhutan since your appointment!” I had thought none of their comments would get to me or ever disturb my mind, not until Rachel added with her bitterness and now everything had decided to take a turn in my head, flashing through my brain again. Maybe they are all right. Rachel, the people, those comments, everybody might be right. I might not actually fit into the position. Maybe I'm just forcing myself to do things beyond my capacity. Because of that, things are not fixed even after working tirelessly. It seems to be getting bad each day. I should probably let the position go before I crumble the whole thing. “Shi*” I screamed as I continuously slammed my hand on the car steering wheel. A whirlwind of emotions was what I felt at this point- Anger, rot, fear and list continue

Chapter: Chapter 33Kylie POV I stared at both Jackson and Austin. How they got to know my location is what I couldn't comprehend, especially Austin. I can't remember the last time I had spoken with Austin and out of the blues, he is here and Jackson? Nothing at all was coming in my head. “We should leave now” James suddenly said, ignoring the presence of both Jackson and Austin. “And who are you?” Austin questioned and went quite into thinking for a few seconds before he continued. “Oh, You! The guy from the party” he added, referring to James. “Yes, the guy from the party. And who are you?” James responded. “You don't need to know me. I am only here for Kylie!” Austin fired back. “I am sorry to break your heart but she is going with me” James replied.Tension filled in the atmosphere as I listened to them taking on themselves, their eyes bugging into another, only if stares could kill, then they would probably both be dead by now.“That's enough!” Jackson caught in, his voice holding with Author

Chapter: Chapter 32Kylie POV “You are beginning to sound like a protective boyfriend?” “Can't I?” Everything that went down in the house came flashing through my head again. The look in his eyes when those words slipped out of his mouth, the way his eyes bugged into mine, I have never seen Jackson looked at me that way before. What does he even mean by “Can he not sound like my protective boyfriend?!” He has always been protective of me even before now, I mean it is something friends do for themselves right? But why does this feel so different? There was something about the way it makes me feel that I just couldn't wrap my head around. Or maybe I am just overthinking things. “Oh shit*t” I cursed under my breath as I rested my head on the headrest. “Are you okay?” James' voice suddenly pierced the thought in my head. I gently glanced at him. “Uhmm, yeah” I nodded my head in response to his question. “You don't look okay” he interjected and continued. “You have been like this since the beginn

Chapter: Chapter 31Kylie POV I felt a sense of relief after the success of the live conference. It wasn't in any way easy but I was sure to pull through. I fell into the couch in my office, feeling unsure if things would actually be fine. My response to each question, the way I acted In Front of those angry reporters. Will that even convince the people that I'm not the weak Kylie they thought I was. “You should have this,” Fred interrupted my thoughts. I glanced at him, in his hand was a glass of cold water. “Thank you” a little smile appeared on my face as I collected the glass of water and gulped it down my throat.“You really did well today. I must say, I am proud of the way you handle all of the questions thrown at you” he said. “Ummm- I murmured, not sure if I should really be glad at his compliment.“Lady Oh want to have a word with me” He announced and got up from the chair he was seated in. “See you at home” I responded without glancing at him.I rested on the headrest, gently closed my

Chapter: Chapter 29Kylie POV Talking to James was really comforting. From Emily and his crew down to Madam Wilson lashing on me. I get it, Madam Wilson's action was justified but It breaks my heart that I wasn't able to meet up to her expectations.Over all, James was down to make out a good day out of the bad day. After we spoke last night, I realized he was the Intelligent type, more reasons I would be taking his advice to consideration. He seemed to know more about the corporate world than I do.
