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
Chapter 36Even as he tried to hide it his facials disappointed him. Jaxton needed no soothsayer to tell him his brother wasn't actually here for a short conversation.Paxton wasn't one to leave his office without a date and time already scheduled, he has his way of doing things. Owing to the fact that they're brothers they couldn't boast of good communication together. Their conversations are always done on telecommunications unless it's important only down will it lead to Paxton's office to talk.Jaxton knew Paxton didn't come for good at least that was what his expectations were implicating. His eyes were up and red with rage and his face was plain horror. Even as he tried to smile you would take it as him glaring at you. "Coffee then" Jaxton murmured to himself, tapped the number on the telecom and placed the telephone on his ear. "Make me two cups of coffee." He said as soon as he heard the secretary's voice. "Okay sir." The secretary replied and hurried out of her seat."What
Chapter 37Sydney was stunned and bent her head in shame, her hands trembling beneath her.Paxton's anger was only just beginning as he had lots of them on peak ready to unleash them on her."You golddigger!" He flared, advancing towards her. At that moment her heart flew and she staggered back in fright.But he didn't stop, not for one minute."Swear your intentions towards my brother are clean, swear." Each word that came out of his mouth was accompanied by a demeaning step."Why are you doin—""I don't want to hear anything from you" he ripposted, cutting her off roughly.Sydney nodded abruptly and pushed her lips into her mouth, murmuring to herself; 'did he have a quarrel with Jaxton?'Paxton seemed to have heard her murmur but he didn't actually hear what she said. He took the last step, seezing her breath with just a glare from him. He stared at her intimidately and snarled, "stay away from my brother." He spoke fastly, the weight of his tone was harsh. It was as if it carrie
Chapter 38Paxton was putting on his suit jacket ready to go home when the door flew open with an angry Jaxton matching towards him like a viper.He stood transfixed to the floor groping at his obnoxious twin who wore a really tight expression. He would be damned if he says he doesn't know what caused his ugly reaction, actually he was secretly expecting his comeback.Jaxton screeched to a stop right in front of Paxton and he didn't waste any time in speaking his mind."I'm sure I clearly told you to stay out of my path, or do I need to spell it out for you?" He said under his teeths, trying really hard to control his anger.Paxton huffed, "this is really going to be a long conversation…" he took a few steps backwards, this way he was close to his desk and relaxed on it."I see you're really enjoying this.""If putting that gold digger in her place is such a big crime to you then I fear she has fooled you already—""Paxton!!!" Jaxton growled, his hands balling into a fist behind him.
Chapter 39Sydney stared down at herself, shocked at what just happened. She couldn't still fathom why Paxton would call her in and pour his hot coffee on her when she didn't slack on her duties.However, she managed to keep her mouth shut, swallowing the pains as they came.Paxton relaxed on his chair and looked at her from there, his raving temper had died down and felt calm after using Sydney to quench that anger.He didn't like what he did nor hate it, he enjoyed seeing her suffer and that just made him smile."Too tasteless, get me another coffee" he ordered, glaring at him from where he sat.She nodded and skittered out, as she made his coffee a lot of thoughts clouded her mind. Paxton must be so mad at her even without her doing nothing, he just hates her naturally hiding under the disguise of her trying to ruin his brother.Pfft… this was getting harder than she had imagined.She finished making the coffee and went to serve him, as she placed the coffee on his desk she caught
