"But you are not with your things. No big bag, what about your clothes? I thought you changed your mind or something." He said to her."There are clothes I can change into over there. It's really not necessary to carry a big bag." She replied "I'll be back first thing Monday morning." She added. In order not to explode with anger, Simon took a sip from the bottle of water, always made available for him beside his seat. He glanced at Paige from the corner of his eyes, wondering what came over her or where he went wrong. With the current situation, he needs to keep reminding himself that Paige now wants an employer - employee type of relationship. So, he needs to act accordingly. The ride to Crescent Fall continued with absolute silence except for the faint giggles from Paige every now and then, while she went through her gallery, viewing the images she took earlier. "You know there are better ways to tell me what you want than ignoring me and acting like I don't exist." He said not h
"Attaboy!" Noah exclaimed. "You Simon, you are a genius in a man's body. What you see in seconds, I myself might not get to see it even in years. You have your father's gift to decipher opportunities when you see one. No matter who or what they disguise as." Noah complimented.Simon smiled. He recalled how Noah stood up for his family when they lost Theodore and how he helped him fish out and kill some of the culprits, especially the Emersons. "You could get some acres there as well and maybe expand your business. You can develop something good. " He said, picking a glass of drink from the bartender who presented a tray to them. The host picked up a glass as well, and laughed hilariously. "I wonder how many acres they have left. Because, the Simon I know would buy as much as they have." Noah said. This made Simon chuckle. We can cut out a good deal." Simon started. "You can buy from me. I won't sell at an expensive rate, at least not to you. The price will be extremely affordable an
"I can't force her to be with me. She's an adult. Any choice she makes, goes. Why did you alter the contract?""I was looking out for you, I'm sorry." She apologized, knowing that her brother might get upset with such behavior from her. "That's fine, I will find a way to fix it. He said."What, what will you do?"Nothing you should concern yourself with." He said. "Meanwhile, I will be in my ranch at Galvile tomorrow.""And the Mansion? Is something wrong at the mansion? I'm bringing Emily home on Tuesday. I have no doubt that she would love to see you when she gets back. What should I tell her if she asks you?"You don't have to tell her anything. I will see her at your place tomorrow before leaving. So, don't get yourself worked up." He took a sip of his wine."You know, when I heard those things about Paige, I really didn't care. I was just okay with the fact she was there for you and that was all that really mattered to me. But hearing everything you told me and seeing her today,
He went back to the garden and they almost bumped into each other. "Frankie, where have you been? Paige has been looking for you for a while now." He asked, pretending not to have seen him earlier. "I had an important business call that I needed to take." Frankie replied. "Where is she now?" "In her room. She said she was tired and chilly and she wanted to have a warm bath and probably rest as well." Fe replied. "Great!." Said Frankie. "I'll go see her." He said, walking past his brother to the house. Just then Fe spotted Fiona with one of the guests. Her shoes caught his attention. It was a shiny gold glitters sandal, the very same sandal he saw while hiding earlier. Franklin walked up to Paige's room and waited for her to open the door after pressing the doorbell. Barely seconds later, Paige was at the door staring at him wide eyed. "Frankie." She was happy that he was finally done with Business. "Hey princess." Frankie called with a warm smile. "Can I come in?" He asked. "Su
She waited for an answer but got none. When it was obvious that he was going to be silent on her, she snapped at him immediately. "Lawyer said you may have fallen in love. And please, do not blame her. I almost choked it out of her mouth." She said, "Is she the reason you ain't sleeping at night?" Simon smiled dryly twitching his lips to the side reluctantly. "I don't know really, I don't know if it's okay for a girl to make me feel this way." He said in a tired and very subtle voice. "I mean life shouldn't be this complicated. There are lots of girls out there, I shouldn't allow myself to get stuck on one right?" He asked seriously, hoping for an answer. Bridget smiled at his question. "You know, no matter how archaic you think this sounds, your mother and I believe that there is always just one life partner for everyone and when you come across them, you'll never remain the same and you won't have the power to control your feelings. I need you to remember that love is a beautiful
"Wait Felix said sitting up with shock written all over his face. "I don't understand. Simon Kentley and Paige, are they dating?" He asked still shocked."it seems so. Frankie replied"I need a yes or no, brother.""Fe, I don't know. I think they are not dating yet. But they might be attracted to each other or so l hear." Franklin replied."Are you trying to say that you disrupted Kentley's relationship? Is that what you're trying to say? Because if that is the case, count me the fuck out cf this." Felix warned as he spoke through his teeth in obvious anger. "Frank, did you force or blackmail Paige into this entanglement with you?" Felix suddenly asked."Hell no! I did not. Why would I do that?" He asked pissed at his younger brother. "We are not even an official couple yet." Frankie stated."If you coerced or forced her, it wouldn't be the first time, would it?" Felix chipped in."Look Fe, I told you I was all in and I meant it. I only entertained the Ruben girl when I got from a very
A few minutes after calming himself down and getting a grip of his temper, he finally placed a call across to Paige to check up on Paige."Hello princess." He called , when she picked up."Hey Frankie, good morning.""Good morning sweet girl." He replied making her blush. "How was your night?""It was perfect." She replied truthfully. Contrary to what she thought last night, she found out that she slept so peacefully unlike her previous night at Kentleys mansion.Although her thoughts were occupied by split images of Simon and Fiona seated together from last night, she was still able to fall asleep.Last night, She kept recalling how angry she felt seeing them together and ended up convincing herself that the anger she felt wasn't because she saw them together, it was because Simon pretended not to have liked Fiona before then. But they were smiling and looking so comfortable in each other's company, making her feel like he took her for a fool."I'm glad to hear that." Frankie said bri
Felix who was still seated looked at his brother who was standing beside Paige holding her like a won trophy, smiled from the corner of his lips. "Why not Frank? He's always the one capable of reviewing such deals. Or am I missing something?" He asked with a gaze still glued to Frank.Frankie smiled as he already knew that his brother was still mad at him. "If you guys will excuse us, myself and Paige have something planned that we need to attend to." He said pulling Paige along with him."Mr Tedson, Sarah, Felix." Paige called each of them as a form of greeting before leaving them behind as she followed Frankie outside. She wondered what real estate business Simon pitched to Noah Tedson. The pull on her arm by Frankie brought her back to reality as she felt the pain on her flesh. "That hurts." She told him, wincing in pain."Oh, I didn't realize that. I'm so sorry." Frankie apologized regretting that he let his anger take a toll on him. He released his hold on her and led her outsid
