CHAPTER 28 They got to his office and he gave her paperworks as usual. She had no idea of what he was doing but she collected them and returned to her office to attend to them, wondering what got into his head or touched his heart. Had he suddenly decided to let her be after remembering how badly he treated her the other day, or did he wake up and decide to be a changed human all of a sudden? She completed the work and returned them to he gave her other ones. This process repeated itself till lunchtime and she could not go for lunch. He was definitely doing it on purpose. Perhaps it was one of his tactics to make her quit on her own. If he couldn't fire her, she could at least quit by herself. She kept working and ended up exhausting herself, totally forgetting about Jaxton. Her stomach was rumbling, and she moved uncomfortably in her seat, her ass feeling stiff because she had been sitting for too long. Around about 3pm, Jaxton barged into her office, seeming up
CHAPTER 29: She stood up from her seat and hurried to hold Jaxton as she pleaded with him unendingly, her steps were heavy and she had her heart in her mouth in case the men tried to find fault with her again. "Jaxton please, it is all my fault, please let go of his collar. I did not think too much about it and blurted nonsense. We do not have to fight about this." she pleaded, tapping gently on the hand gripping Paxton's collar. Her hand felt small and she felt slightly ridiculous. Compared to these two men with huge palms, if they were to smack her hand off, the possibility that she would get a dislocated wrist would be very high. He finally let go of his collar and glared daggers at him. His chest moving up and down in annoyance. "I am letting it go this time. But there won't be a next time." His tone was firm and fierce and he obviously meant what he was saying. "Please go back to your office, I'm really sorry. This is all my fault. It won't happen again.
CHAPTER 30 Fuming and unable to accept that she had been used and dumped, she went back to Jaxton's office and picked files again as she went back to sort the issues with them. She put Jaxton at the back of her mind as she continued working. He was not going to get into her head and disrupt her daughter and thoughts. No one gave him that sort of power. No one.. Meanwhile, as she was busy, Paxton returned from the meeting earlier than usual as he stared at the documents Sydney had been working on. He had thought the little bray would fume and complain again. Maybe say something worse that would make him have the opportunity to lash at her and punish her. Perhaps get to touch her and do something steamy. But she seemed to be frowning as she hurriedly worked on the documents. With the way she was flipping the documents, she treated it like it was her enemy and she didn't pay attention to anyone or anything else around her. Paxton in fact began to feel neglected. As i
Chapter 31The elevator doors opened revealing Jaxon, Sydney had been standing for a while now waiting for the doors to open and wizzled a breath when her eyes met with Jaxton. She tried to get in and join him in the elevator but he pushed her off, fixing her a tight glare he closed the doors and to her astonishment the elevator went up without her getting in. "What in the world—" she muttered a breath, moping at the door as the whole thing still looked amusing to her. "Pfft… what's with him anyways?" She scoffed and walked to the next elevator."Good morning Miss Dana," Sydney greated and she threw her a smile, "morning Sydney, you look–" she paused and Sydney cornered her eyes at her."Fine?" She chuckled and Miss Dana nodded. "Something like that" Miss Dana mused and Sydney cut her an eye before fading into her department.Immediately she was coming in James was heading out, "attend to the files on your desk" he said mindlessly and rushed out. Sydney snorts and falls on her chair,
Chapter 32"Which is… " she slurred, pussing her lips to fix him a look.He chuckled and waved his hand at her, signalling her to leave but she remained standing, staring into his green mozzled eyes hoping he would maybe open his mouth and spill it."Why do I feel like you're going to enjoy it," he clicked his tongue and winked at her, causing her to gasp."Huh!" Her face turned red instantly and she brushed her hair to her face to hide it unknowingly to her. Jaxton had already seen it and he was staring into her heart.She clumsily took her gaze to his and almost melted by his gaze. "Don't fall for it.." she cautioned herself, giving her lip a tiny bite so as to drive away the nauseating feeling she was having at the corner of her tongue.She quickly averted her eyes and brought them down to her fingers, her heart throbbing hard against her chest. She couldn't believe she was falling for his charming looks, his green eyes held hers in a long depth that she feared she might have walke
Chapter 33Sydney jerked up in a jump start, rushing to check what time it was. "Shit!!" She cursed, throwing the phone on the bed without no care if it fell on the wrong side."What's getting you all riled up?" Jaxton asked, slipping off the bed."It's 10am already, we better hurry""Shit!!" He cursed, grabbed a towel and took a quick run into the bathroom. "You better join me if you don't want to have my smell on you." He shouted to her and Sydney joined him on the realization of that.Sydney had finished dressing up but Jaxton was holding her back. She glanced at the time and scoffed at seeing that he was still struggling with his tie. Not wanting to waste another minute waiting for him to knot his tie she decided to help him with it."See, simple." She smiled as she slipped the tie into his shirt. He appreciated her with a smile and as they walked out of the hotel room he stole a kiss from her.Their car galloped into the company's driveway and Sydney hurried out but not after blo
Chapter 34Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead and tension kicked in, putting her into a tight corner.Her limbs started to quiver, not wanting him to notice she ruffled out a smile and chuckled.Paxton's brows creased and he tapped her desk, snapping her out of whatever thoughts she was having. "I asked you a question" his voice was livid and it brushed past her like hot lava."I uhm.." she cleared her throat. "He came to pick me up" his brows creased and she added, "of-course I didn't ask him to, he just appeared from nowhere and I couldn't turn down the offer. "You shouldn't have anything to do with my brother, engaging yourself with him is like playing with fire you either get burnt or roasted." He purred, barring his teeths as he recounted the previous scene.Sydney nodded with intent, not wanting to say or do anything that would make him think she did something with Jaxton. "Halt any intention of getting close to Jaxton, the minute I find out something is up with yo
Chapter 35As cold as ice, pale as death was the frown lurking on Paxton's face. He stood at the hallway, peeking through the window, taking long glances at Sydney as she stuttered back to her chair. He saw her pick her phone up and leaned further watching her face, she had picked up her phone but dropped it the instant she noticed him.Seeing that he was causing her discomfort he left after a while."Hahh.." Sydney sighed in relief as he advanced into the hallway. She made sure he was out of sight before proceeding to call Jaxton back.The phone was on dial and rang for a few seconds before the baritone voice of Jaxton came on. "Though you misplaced your phone, you won't possibly deny not seeing my calls cause I know you're with your phone." He said levely. He was angry with her and she ought to know."Just calm down okay, it wasn't on purpose" "Excuses Nicole, excuses..""Can you just let me finish?''she pauses to catch her breath and once she gains his attention she speaks further
