"About your request, Scott, I think you have to ask my sister's permission regarding that matter. The decision is not mine," Jack finally said his piece, considering that he can't reveal to Scott the real score between him and Briana.
"But can you guarantee, sir, that if Briana will accept me, I can go to your house and visit her there anytime?" Scott asked excitedly.
"Sure!" Jack replied, confidently, knowing that Briana wouldn't allow Scott to visit her in their love nest.
"Thank you, sir! I appreciate it very much. I promise you that I will not disturb Briana during office hours. I will make sure that our work will not be affected," Scott assured him.
Jack faked a smile. "Scott, tell me, why would you pursue your
Meanwhile, Briana wasn't able to go to sleep right away in her room. She was thinking about what the men were discussing when they went out to have their dinner meeting outside. She had a nagging feeling that she was the topic of their conversation.She can't help it. She always feels anxious every time the two men have a private conversation together. It gives her the unpleasant feeling that they're talking about her, and Scott revealed their romantic past to Jack. It's making her paranoid every single day!Although Jack came home tonight sporting a pleasant smile on his face, that doesn't mean that nothing went wrong.She quickly typed a message on her phone, asking Jack how his dinner with Scott went.In Jack's r
Hours went by, and the rest of the city fell asleep.At 5:00 in the morning, Briana stirred in her sleep, then her eyelids slowly opened, and she noticed the light was still on and she was cocooned by the warm body lying beside her on the bed.She realized that she had fallen asleep before Jack arrived in her room, and she attributed her sleep to the mellow music that she was hearing on her phone lulling her to sleep.She turned around and smiled sweetly after noticing Jack's face pressed provocatively on her chest. She planted a kiss on his head and whispered, "Good morning, lover boy."She was about to close her eyes again when she remembered that her stepmother was sleeping in the other room.
Office time.It was a lazy morning at work, there wasn't much to do, so Briana browsed the internet to find something interesting to watch.But suddenly...Scott's voice rang from the intercom. 'Bri, come to my office immediately!'Briana didn't reply.'Bri, are you there? Can you hear me?' Scott said."Coming!" Briana answered, glancing at the intercom, sighing heavily. After a few seconds of composing herself, she exited the browser and put the computer in standby mode. She then rose to her feet and left her room.When she arrived in Scott's room a
Briana walked out of her room and down the hall, her knees turning to jelly as she became nervous. She has no idea what to expect after speaking with Jack today. Should she pretend she didn't know and just confessed to Jack, or should she tell him the truth because Scott told her earlier? She sighed and grabbed the doorknob, pushing open the door to Jack's office. When she saw Scott sitting on the chair talking to Jack, her eyes widened in surprised. The men looked at her with their heads turned. Damn! Poor timing!
The next day.A few minutes after office hours began, Jack summoned Scott to his office."Scott, please come to my room right away. I have an important matter to discuss with you," Jack said over the intercom."Yes, sir!" Scott immediately responded. But he didn't leave his room right away, instead, he stood there staring at the intercom, wondering what was so urgent. Why had his boss summoned him so urgently? Is it related to Briana?He walked to the door and left his room, heading to his boss's office.Scott can be seen entering Jack's office and settling into the chair facing the desk a few minutes later.
That evening...Scott was sorely missing Briana as he lay in bed at his apartment, wistfully gazing up at the ceiling.Before the course of events changed, he had the opportunity to visit Briana at least twice or three times every day. He felt content in that situation, even though she constantly gave him the cold shoulder. For him, seeing her every day was still preferable to nothing. Yet everything has suddenly changed.Whatever opportunity he had to visit Briana was ruined, much to his displeasure!~~~0~~~Several days laterIt was just another working day.Scott was unable to see Briana even once during the course of the day. That they both work for the same company and yet she has started to seem like a ghost to him seems strange. Briana obviously avoided him at all costs, and their current situation is only making matters worse for him.He was desperately missing Briana. He had the impression that his boss was working to
A few days later, weekend.Jack sent a text to his bae to let her know that he was going to go down because the people he hired to build a door between their rooms had already come to the building to do their job. Then he got up and left his room to go downstairs and meet the men who were waiting in front of the building.Briana kept shaking her head as she read Jack's message. She thought he was joking about the connecting doors between their rooms, so she was shocked to find out he was serious.But as long as only she and Jack know about the connecting door, everything will be fine.She can't change his decisions, though, because Jack owns the company and makes all the decisions.
"So, tell me about the setup that you have in your mind," Briana curiously said.Jack smiled. "Simple, through video and camera. He can teach you everything online without needing to see each other in person. I'll set up the online meeting room between you and him," he explained casually.Briana felt relieved. "That's a great idea!""So, you mean you are now willing to take over Scott's position?" Jack asked, wanting to be sure that she was serious with her decision."Yeah, let's get this over with. The sooner the better. But I must tell you, don't fire Scott because he is your most valuable asset. Go ahead with your plan of opening a second branch in another city and assign him there. Just don't kick him out of the
Meanwhile, at the Erros Building in Brisham City...Jack, George, and Rosita were already waiting for Briana's return. The table in the dining room was laden with delicious foods as a celebration of her much-anticipated return back into the family fold.The trio was in the living room, watching TV and browsing their phones while waiting for Briana's arrival.Half an hour later.Suddenly, Jack's phone rang; the caller was Briana. "Babe, where are you now?""I'm already outside the building. I hope I'm not late," she said breathlessly, exiting her car and rushing to the building."I'm coming down to meet you!" Jack put his phone in the pocket of his jeans and came running to the door. He was gone in the blink of an eye.George and Rosita looked at each other and smiled."They're really meant for each other," Rosita commented casually while nuzzling baby Andrew's tiny feet."Indeed!" George seconded. "I think our sacrifice is worth it."Rosita smiled. "I think so."Downstairs, Jack and Br
The day that Briana was scheduled to leave the farm finally arrived. Scott's house was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.Briana spent the rest of her morning bonding with her beloved twins.Meanwhile, Scott spent his time brooding in his room, waiting for the inevitable. His heart was gradually dying inside as the seconds passed. He was so used to Briana's lovely presence in his life that it would be hard to see her gone, leaving him alone to deal with the heartbreaks, loneliness, and difficulty of raising their twins as a single parent.He wished that this day would never come, but it's finally happening before his very eyes.It was already lunchtime when the maid knocked outside the door. "Sir, lunch is ready!""OK." He replied in a bland voice.The maid went to Briana's room and announced the same, then went back downstairs to resume her work in the kitchen.A few minutes later, both Scott and Briana exited their rooms at the same time.Their eyes met.Briana sighed heavily upon no
Three days later.It was a hot Saturday afternoon.The farm was busy with activity. People were decorating the ground floor and placing the rented tables and chairs on the lawn of the house for the twins christening the next day.Scott was supervising the whole event along with the party planner that he had hired for the special occasion.Meanwhile...Briana, the twins, and their nannies were relaxing on the second floor of the house."Madam, I'll go down and get your snack from the kitchen," Marina offered."OK." Briana nodded her head.Briana studied Nanny Dorothy's features closely. She, like this particular woman, is so mature beyond her age. Dorothy is the oldest of 12 siblings and works on the farm as a nanny to help support her poor family.'She could be good wife material for Scott!' Her inner self spoke.And she wholeheartedly agreed.She bonded with the two nannies well, treating them with kindness and respect and cultivating their trust and friendship before leaving the far
It was already 3:00 a.m. in the morning.Scott was gazing lovingly at his adorable twins, Josh and Jolie, the names that he and Briana have chosen for their children. He planted a kiss on their cheeks. "I love you, babies!" Tears of happiness sprang from his eyes.He glanced at their mother, still sleeping on the bed. He may never get Briana as his wife, but she gifted him two beautiful children that will forever seal their fate together. They will always be a family, come what may. Their bond will be much stronger now that they both have children together.After some time, Scott realized that Briana must have been super hungry after she woke up from her slumber. He pushed the button on the intercom and ordered a light meal for the mother of his children. Then he continued gazing at his adorable babies.Fifteen minutes later, Briana finally woke up from her sleep. She looked around the room and saw Scott gazing at their twins in their newborn crib on the table next to the bed. "Scott,
The months passed quickly.Despite their difficult situation, Briana and Jack maintained solid communication with each other to make sure that they were really going back together no matter what the odds.One week before Briana was scheduled to give birth, she and Scott hired two single village women in their late 20s to become the twins nannies.Marina is 26 years old, while Dorothy is 27 years old; both are good-looking ladies."Girls, you can start working the day I finally give birth to my twins. We will inform you on that day," Briana told the women. "Are you excited to work here?" she asked.The two women smiled and nodded their heads. "Yes, Madam!""Good! That's all for now. You may go home now," Briana said, feeling relieved that she found two great women who she believed were fit to be the nannies to her twins. The first time she laid eyes on the women, she knew by intuition that they were good and gentle women who were capable of taking good care of her twins. Based on her in
Scott finally arrived at the farm before 6:00 in the evening."Sir, Ma'am Briana's boyfriend, named Jack, had come here a few hours ago." The guard informed his employer after opening the iron gate.Scott's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Briana's boyfriend?" He roamed around the area, looking for his former boss. "Where is he?""He already left." The guard replied, scratching his head.Scott's heart beat so fast in his rib cage. "Did Briana come with him?" He asked apprehensively.The guard shook his head. "No. Ma'am Briana went back to the house while her boyfriend left in his car, going back to where he came from.""OK. Good!" Scott's face brightened up like a flashlight as huge relief washed over him. For a split second, he was afraid that Briana would leave the farm and go with Jack back to the city. He was glad and grateful that she stayed true to her words that she would deliver the baby before going home.He walked in a big strid
That afternoon, Scott went to the next town to buy farm supplies. Briana decided not to tell him about Jack's coming to the farm to avoid a confrontation between the two men. It's something that she can't afford to happen. She wanted to talk to Jack alone without Scott hovering around them like a phantom in the opera. A moment of peace with Jack is all she ever needs. Scott noticed that Briana was looking tense again. Worried about her state of mind, he asked, "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just go now," she replied with a smile to reinforce her statement that she was fine. "If you are not feeling well, I will just stay with you today and buy supplies tomorrow. Or you can come with me if you want," he offered. "Nah, you go ahead. I'm fine," she insisted. "Alright, I'll go now. Do you want anything? I can buy it for you in the store," he said. Briana shook her head. "I already have everything I need. You may go now." "OK. Take care of yourself, Bri! Call
Scott noticed that it took Briana so long to inform him about the result. Fifteen agonizing minutes had already passed.A growing suspicion tugged at his mind. If it were negative, she would be here by now, wearing a relieved expression on her face, informing him that it was negative.Unless...Unless the result is positive! She is pregnant with their child! That is why it took her so long to come out of the bathroom after conducting the test.He pressed his head on the door and listened for sounds inside the room; he heard faint sobbing!Is Briana crying? But why?His heart starts racing so fast! It only
One month later.Briana was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the morning sunshine after eating her breakfast. Scott went to the next town to buy some supplies for the farm, and she had chosen to remain in the house instead of going out with him.She unlocked her phone and sent a message to her father. 'Good morning, Dad!'A few minutes later, George entered the chat. 'Morning, daughter!''Is everything okay there? My son is okay?''Yes, everything is okay here, but there are some problems with Jack and Charlotte...'Briana's interest was piqued. 'What do you mean?'
