Chapter 40The loyalty of a dog to its owner, irrespective of how he's treated or fed, was the case of Sydney. She was the stray dog of the Whites family, they could mold her, fold her or even break her but her loyalty stands.Not like she had any choice going against them but if she could at least try she half of her burden will be lifted off her shoulder. Or so she thought.Jaxton gave her five minutes to brush up herself and come down to the park but she was taking more than she was given. Her heart was heavy with worry and she couldn't stop wondering what Jaxton needed to see her for.She believes that Paxton was keeping an eye on her and Jaxton asking her out during work hours will only increase her punishment.She wouldn't have been this disturbed if he had called her after work but the ugly feeling would still remain. Was he calling her out for sex as he always does or is it something more than that?She couldn't put a finger into it. For the past few days Jaxton has been unsua
Chapter 41Boooom!!! The sound of a popped champagne snatched her attention and she tilt her head to look at the waiter in front of her. She moves her daze back to Jaxton and pinches her hand to be sure it was real and she wasn't in some fantasy world.Suddenly, a huge display of balloons took place and the people who had been pretending to be eating all these while started to cheer. Clapping and urging her to accept his proposal.Sydney was uncomfortable and wanted to refuse but as he looked around again, the smiles and encouraging words he people threw at her made her dismiss the thought. She decided to be in the moment and actually feel it. Jaxton did all this for her, he prepared a surprise for her. In all her years nobody has ever thrown her a surprise so this was uplifting to her.All her doubts were suddenly wiped away and all she could think of was a beautiful smile on his face. He went through all the stress to make her feel special, Paxton wasn't going to bully her again a
Chapter 42It was past seven and Sydney was still laying on her bed, her alarm had rang for the third time now but she was finding it so hard to let go of her sweet dream.The alarm dings again, this time it was louder, it was just as if God had intervened and she had to wake up no matter what. She squiggled tirelessly on her bed, moving her hand to the dresser to put it off."Urghhhh" Her hand smashed the alarm disturbing her beauty sleep, she didn't mind where it had landed, she was happy that it went off as it was driving her crazy already. She gets pissed and slides out of the covers, muffling cursing words as she goes about her day. She hadn't gotten any sleep and the alarm was on already. How long has she even slept for the alarm to disrupt her sleep like that."Dang it!" She exclaimed the moment her eyes caught the big clock hanging on her wall. It's past seven and she needs to hurry up."You're few minutes late miss Sydney" Miss Dana teased as Sydney walked past her table."G
CHAPTER 43.Sydney still rooted to her chair right in front of her already furious boss,Paxton. Her hands began to sweat in the full blown air conditioned office due to anxiety.She already began to tear up and used her fingers slightly to pat them so her make up wouldn’t get smudge but already her mascara began to form black spots around her eye part.Paxton on the other hand,sat giving an “I do not gives two fucks” attitude while deep down he wanted Sydney to quite crying.“I do not pay you monthly to see you cry in my office while I question you. So get a hold of yourself.” Paxton instructed when he finally got an idea of how he would make Sydney stop tearing up right in front of him without him showing any emotions signifying care.“Really! I see now you God Forsaking and unfortunate being. You basically do not pay me monthly to question me about my personal life. I seek and tired of you treating me trash,like something worthless. I don’t know how I kept on dealing with your shit.
CHAPTER 44.Sydney picked up her phone to send a text message to Jaxton while she saw three missed calls from him and so she wondered what he wanted to share with her.“Shot! What if Paxton already told him?” She thought to herself.“No way. I do not think he would.” She added.Immediately,she swiped her phone,inputted her security pins and got full access to her phone. Immediately she went to the message section to see if Jaxton left a message. Typical Jaxton always left a text message for her whenever he called and could not get through to her.He was always overprotective and cared for her at all times.“Hey babe. Are you good? Tried calling but to no avail.” Jaxton’s text read.Immediately,Sydney wiped up,got access to her keyboard section and began to type.“I am good. How about babe? Sorry I missed your call. I was out of the office.” Sydney’s message read.It views delivered on her part and so she was sure the message went through.A minute after,her phone beeped which caught h
CHAPTER 45.“What did you say? I definitely did not hear well.” Jaxton uttered with obvious confusion in his voice.Sydney kept quiet for a while. She tried her best to keep calm.Jaxton alsowas trying his best not to break down right infront of her. He did not want to look weak and on the other hand cause a scene.He pushed his seat closer to the table and it made noise due to the starches it made with the tiled floor and help her hands.Second by second and it soon became two minutes standing in silence with her. Jaxton became impatient.Eventually Jaxton lashed out,”Babe, did I do or say something wrong?”This time it was louder and it got the attention of the public present at the Goldies restaurant. When Jaxton noticed what he had done he immediately apologized “I’m sorry,go on with your meal” and sat down ashamed.Sydney already began to feel embarrassed and covered her face with her purse while looking at an entirely different place.“I think we should leave and talk outside.”
Chapter 46Sydney decided to go back to her office. On getting there, she meets Paxton. She didn’t expect to see him there so she was taken aback. “Have you and Jaxton broken up?” he asked her. “No, we are still together” she managed to say to him. She knew he wanted her and jaxton to break up but she couldn’t handle the way he looked when she told him she wanted to break up.“When will you break up?” Paxton asked her. He expected that they would have broke up since she promised him but he understood that she might need more time.“Soon,” Sydney replied him.“Okay, good” Paxton said and went back to his office. He was relieved that she said soon, hr thought she might ask for more time but he hoped she breaks up with him quick.Sydney started at Paxton’s back as he was going, his figure was slowly fading away as she watched him. She felt bad for him. Moreover, she had already promised him, what would he do when he finds out that she lied to him. She didn’t know if she could actually d
Chapter 47 Paxton was still in shock and couldn’t believe what just happened. He couldnt believe that Sydney had just slapped him hard on his cheek. He was still holding his cheek because the slap really hurt him. “She hit me” Paxton said quietly to himself in the empty office. He felt that he shouldn’t have shouted at her and called her names. He knew he should not have overreacted but he didn’t know what came over him.He felt like he should go check on her but at the same time he knew she would be angry and might want space.Sydney on the other hand was enraged and went to the ground floor of the building. “Who is he, he called me a whore and a gold digger after he made me agree to help him. This is shitty” Sydney murmured to herself while trying to calm down. “He definitely overreacted” she said.She sat down on a chair and tried to calm down. She took deep breaths and calmed down. Her anger had reduced and she was calm now. Realization hit her, she could not believe she just
