Gordon is having the meal with Barbara, and he is enjoying it, she made a chicken stir-fry dish with noodles and a lot of vegetables, this happened to be Gordon's favorite, even though he is not the picky type, he still has some meals he loves and enjoyed.Barbara smiled at herself, noticing the way Gordon went silent when he ate her meal, he seemed to be enjoying it because Gordon ate it wholeheartedly."Are you enjoying the meal?""Yes, just maybe, I will tell your grandfather to let me have you under my roof when I return to the city, I might need a cook badly""In need of a cook or a wife?" She asked as she placed some beef in his place. "Here, you should eat more meat.""I can't marry you, if it was possible, I would have an option for that." Barbara looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed, and he smiled, Knowing Barbara would want to know the reason. "It's simple, I wouldn't want Dante to have my head on a tray.""Stop talking nonsense, he doesn't love me, he said I am a brat an
Time they say flew fast, a year had already passed.For this year, Barbara had tried to change everything about herself, she even had to take more business classes, she threw all her pain behind her, she had moved on fast, not for once has she asked a thing about Dante even when she finds out that, Kathleen's crush is the same person as Dante's best friend slash assistant.Sometimes, Kathleen and Jayden would visit her, yet she didn't for once ask about Dante.She and Gordon had grown, so close that, she couldn't stay a day without talking to Gordon, after he left, he didn't do a very good job of making her love him as a brother, yet her friendship with Jeffrey is still the same, even when the young man trying to show her the green light that he is interested in her, she is blinded with the fact that Jeffrey only cares for her like siblings."Father, what's up with your excitement?" Claudia asked Calvin who had been radiating since last night."Come on daughter, I am overly excited tha
That morning, Dante and Jayden are having breakfast, although Jayden now runs his father's company, the man's health has deteriorated, so he introduces Jayden as the new chairman of the company and Dante now has a new assistant, the two still live together."Brother man, are you sure, you want to work with Gordon?""Of course, he is not all that bad, although, I know he had a big grudge against me, I still think, it's better to have your enemy closer while your friends are close."Mr. Harold looks at his son, he is grown, now a man in his late twenties, yet his heart is far from happy, he sighed badly but did not comment on it."Are you still going to get married to Mr. Taio's daughter?" Jayden asked."Is it bad? I thought everyone needed a sister-in-law and a grandchild." Dante added that part sarcastically. Jayden looked at Sally, who had met Barbara, in one of her visits with Jayden to Kathleen, Sally who is the cousin of Dante ended up having the complete story behind Dante and Bar
"Where is he going?" Barbara asked no one, in particular, and after about thirty minutes he went out, but he didn't return, Barbara felt at ease, at least he was not going to watch her.Sally walked in, she smiled at Barbara, pulling her door."Enjoying your new office?""It's boring here, nothing to do.""Who said that?" Sally pushes the trolley almost filled with files."What?" She yelled, seeing the workload in front of her."Yes, all these are under Mr. Jackson's supervision, since you are the one occupying his post, you should as well get accurate knowledge about each file.""Okay!" Barbara gasped for air."I leave you now." She walked away, Sally's office was on the other side, and from her office, she could see Barbara and Dante when Jayden left instead of giving that office to his new assistant, he decided to give it to his cousin while his assistant was outside his office, at first, he doesn't want a female assistant, but then with the scandal that surfaces after Barbara left,
"Kathleen, what are you doing here?" Barbara hugged Kathleen."Checking on my friend, and how she is doing on her first day at work.""Oh so sweet!" Barbara hugged Kathleen and then looked at Jayden. "You should be careful with this girl around you, she might turn you into herself." Jayden laughed as he hugged Barbara, Dante's face went sour, and then he sniffed her."Are you sniffing me?" Barbara asked, Jayden pulled from her."Just helping a friend, I know he might want to get the scent but not too worried I will tell him about it." Dante gulped his saliva making Isla rush to him, he pushed her hand from his chest, and Isla felt embarrassed, Barbara laughed and added"Don't you know your boss is gay?" All eyes turned to Barbara, Dante's face went sour, he couldn't believe that Barbara still had that notion about him."What did you just call me?" Dante's voice is deadly, his aura is sinful and demonic. Jayden looks at him and shakes his head."We should eat the food that is getting co
When Barbara returned to the office, Dante was so busy with his numerous meetings that he wasn't able to get closer to her, just when he was about to hurry to his office, probably to get a glance at her to ease his stressful day, Barbara is already out."Bro! Is your meeting over?" Sally asked seeing his sad face, looking at Barbara's section of the office."She left already." He looks at Sally with cold eyes. "Sorry, I thought you wanted to get something from her." Dante didn't reply to her, he walked slowly to his desk. "She just left and I heard that, Gordon is not coming to pick her up, he is out of town and her driver has an emergency meeting."Dante looks at Sally without expression, like he is trying to process the words. "Are you alright?" Sally asked, he grabbed his keys and hurried out, going straight outside and into the elevator, Sally smiled, she kept getting points which meant that, her bonus would increase as well."Babs!"He called as soon as he arrived at the parking l
The next morning Barbara is dressed to go to work, she is in a hurry to go out, when Calvin calls out to her.Her dad is aware that she is trying to skip breakfast again. "You're not planning on leaving without having breakfast with the family, are you?""Of course not, I am late, and Dad, I got an appointment as the COO of the company.""What?" Claudia echoed in shock, how could Barbara fly so high?"Why are you shocked? Do you think I don't deserve it?" Barbara asked with her gaze on Claudia."Of course, you don't deserve it, I am one hundred percent sure, it's because you are sleeping with both men...""Claudia!" Calvin yelled in frustration."Sorry, Dad, I should know that your princess is back and I am nothing to you." Calvin pressed his lips together with his eyes closed trying so hard to not get mad at Claudia."Stop it, Claudia, you and Barbara are my princess, she is your baby sister and you should care for her, I want you two to love each other so that when I am no longer her
"No, I feel, so comfortable with it." Barbara said with twitched lips, his eyes going to her legs and she was trying to wipe like something was on them. "Or, are you uncomfortable with it?""I'm not comfortable with it." Dante wanted to voice out hearing Barbara's annoying voice yet again, he closed his eyes, trying to control himself."I am comfortable with it." He voices out."Fine then, I will wear it.""I will not repeat myself, you shouldn't wear this to the office, I will have Sally fit a closet at your office, for you to keep some decent clothes, so you could wear them when we are having a client or better still, I will ask lsla to buy you some nice outfit, I think she had a better taste, caused I wouldn't want my client to be distracted with your body instead of the topic in front of them"Barbara's face goes sour, Dante didn't only call her a seductress but also says, she has bad taste when it comes to fashion.Barbara is not happy with the words from Dante, all these scoldin
