Chapter 74 The meeting started on a good note as he explained of the certain Mr. Williams who had been apprehended for having a hand in the missing funds but there was a problem as one of their shareholders insisted he wanted to pull out his investment from the company.“But we are trying our possible best to see to it that everything is handled perfectly well like I said we have caught the first culprit” Paxton explained to Mr. Louis who was hell bent on pulling out and somehow he had managed to rally some of the others from the board.“I like seeing my money grow and having to find that everything might go downhill is crazy” Mr. Louis commented in determination.“What we are trying to say here sir is that we are trying our best to find out who else is involved and if we all back down now our reputable and once cherished company might go down the drain” Sydney chimed in when she saw how frustrated Paxton was getting.He had clenched and unclenched his hands numerously as though he w
Chapter 75After a log time of working tirelessly for the trace of whoever it was William had done and who he was working for.Williams was still not talking as he had no chance of making it known that what he had done was bring not just a bad reputation but was causing funds to be pulled out.“Ain’t you going home Sir?” She asked as she had just passed by his office and found that he was still working there.“Not yet, I just want to get this over this” Paxton responded.“But won’t you get sick if you over work yourself? We all are working towards this and I am sure that if you rest you could be able to deal with this whole new problem for the company” Sydney explained.She made sense but the issue was Paxton was not one to let this that low when he wanted them done.“I’ll be fine Sydney, you go home and make sure come to the office early tomorrow. My brother is trying his best too to get help” Paxton explained.“I hear you but please be safe” she said.She knew for a fact that she wo
Chapter 76Jaxton drove her back home whilst he tried to make small talk.“Well I guess being a leader is hard work” Sydney responded to his question he had said.“Yes it sure is difficult” Jaxton said as they got to her house.He waited for the time she took her bath and then dressed and he took he back to work.The day started almost immediately and she joint her colleagues and the work continued intensively everyone knew not to be stupid enough as to not handle the issue perfectly to catch the other perpetrators. Mr. Louis had made it a point to continuously taunt Paxton to wanting to pull out his shares and somewhere in between he was considering that fact.He was almost accepting for the man to pull out his investment and shares.After mind bugling work and tracing of everything Paxton exhausted and Jaxton and his friend trying their best to handle the entire situation.“I think I found something” Steven who had been working to trace funds found something suspicious all three ra
Chapter 77 Still shocked as to why Paxton had placed his head on her shoulder with her being on his lap she shifted a bit."Are you uncomfortable?" Patton asked but she shook her head no."I am sleepy Sydney, and could you just stay a while with me?" Pactom asked Sydney how he had raised his head off her shoulder.It was somehow uncomfortable and her gut feeling was she didn't want Jactom walking in here but somehow she would not let herself tell him to get off her body and to stop holding her the way he was."That's okay you can sleep," she said.His breathing was felt as his chest heaved and let out continuously she only hoped he would rest well he sure had world his ass off.After about Thirty minutes he was up."That was a quick nap," Sydney said with a nervous giggle."Yeah, I just needed that, I little rest to get the dark circles off my eyes since I can't be like a woman to cover up with foundation or so," he said with a smile that reached his eyes since he had not been himsel
Chapter 78It felt like a great time for her to go out with Jaxton.They had been having stress and work-related issues so it just was right for her to do the needful he was her boyfriend by the way."Yea hello, Jaxton, I think by 5 PM I should be done with my work at the office and Paxton wouldn't need me anymore so it would be great having to spend time with you," Sydney said on the phone Jaxton was elated.He knew he had messed up the night before and having her accept to go on with him and no complaints was like music to his ears.Sydney got up and went into the bathroom, she just might get ready for work since he had woken her from sleep.She did her morning routine and then went on to iron her clothes when her phone rang one more time.She didn't check the caller ID because she felt it would be Jactok again he was clingy of course."Hello?" "Don't sound grumpy on me girl," her good old friend chimed into the phone."Sorry girl, I thought it was Jax" she explained to a friend wh
Chapter 79"Oh, my God!" Sydney screamed as she looked at the time."What is the problem?" Paxton asked her looking around and scared."I had a date with your brother and I have somehow stood him up" she explained looking sad."I had contemplated cancelling but then I forgot to call him" she smacked her on the head as though she wanted to cry."Well, I guess he would understand you needed some time to yourself" Paxton tried to curb the situation but she was feeling awful about it."Well, why don't you check your phone to see, since we've been here it's not rung right? Maybe he got busy" Paxton explained.When she took out her phone it showed fifteen missed calls ten from Jaxton and Five from Naya."Oh my phone was on silent, he has called me many times" Sydney explained."And knowing him he should be extremely mad at me right now" She sat on the bench.She realised Paxton had turned into a little guy and was talking with her and she wondered what he was. would have been telling her be
The next day at work everyone was energetic and in full force to begin the work they had all started.Her colleagues being energetic and high-spirited got her into a cheerful mood too.Sydney was happy.As she entered her office and was about to settle down Jaxtom walked in."Hey there " he greeted "Oh hey Jax, whaddup, you are early today" she commented as he came round her desk and kissed her on the lip but she pushed him away looking around at this point they had been dating secretly and he showing Public display of affection was going to ruin the purpose of staying exclusive."What? nobody is going to come in here without knocking" Jaxton said in his defence."Oh but still you don't get to do that this is a workspace come on Jax" she pouted and he smiled as he touched her face she was his precious little thang as he had been calling her in his head."But you know that I have missed you so dearly right?" he asked her and she opened her arms to allow him to hug her this time very w
After having to witness what he had assumed between his brother and girlfriend he walked back home into his room. Jaxton noticed the study room light open but he didn't go in to confront Paxton or anything he just wanted to be alone.******Early that morning at the office, they all were busy with their business Sydney had passed by Paxton's office but he wasn't there and she knew he wouldn't come in because his secretary said she had been asked to bring some documents to his house."Can I take them to him instead?" Sydney asked trying to be the one to deliver the documents."No, he says no one else should bring it because he somehow knew you might want to come to give him," his secretary said."Oh, okay, I hear you" Sydney replied hurt for a minute that he had already put precautions about her coming to see him.He behaved childishly most times and that was just what she didn't like he didn't stop being immature."I'll go about my business then.She walked away and went to her offic
Chapter 120Sydney was so lost staring into his eyes with shock and Confusion that she didn't realize when he got so close to her that she could even feel his breath and listen to his heart beating hard against his chest. Sydney pulled her face away from him immediately. "No, this is too good to be true," she whispered to herself. He thought that he had some hidden agenda that he was trying to hide from her and trap her into it before she was going to realize it. "He thinks I am such a dumbass," she thought in her head. "I will have to run away immediately before he begins to unveil his true reason for coming here," she said to herself. She got set immediately. She calculated when she was going to run away from him in her head. "On a one, two three, go.." she finalized and tried to run but he caught her in the air. She tried hard to break free from her strong grip but he held her so tightly that her skin cells could hardly breathe.She stared into his eyes and he stared back into
Chapter 119 With every single step that he took, his heart raced ten times faster and he was gasping for breath like someone that just finished a race. *Signs*After much inquiry, Paxton discovered that Sydney was now working as a waitress in one of the restaurants. "What should I do now," he said to him in his car, hitting his hands on the story. "Go to her house or her workplace," he thought again. But then, a thought crossed his mind that answered all his questions. "Would you want a public embarrassment?" A voice rang in his head. Paxton thought about his for some time and decided that it would be preferable to go to her house. He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through as he drove his car to her house. When he got there, the door was bolted just as he had expected. "I will just have to wait for her here," he said to himself as another long line of laughter escaped from his mouth.Meanwhile, Sydney was just returning from w
CHAPTER 118Chapter 118Jaxton stared into his eyes with a racing heart, still contemplating if what he was going to say would get him angry or not. Then he asked him the question first. "His anything the matter?" Paxton inquired noticing that Jaxton was a little bit unsettled. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, Jaxton dropped down to the ground and picked up the photo of Sydney on the floor."It's about her," Jaxton returned showing the photo to him but immediately he saw her photo, his eyes shit back into their sockets in sudden grief and he shook his head side by side. "No, I don't want to talk about her. Not now, not ever," Paxton returned. Jaxton's heart sank with disappointment but he wasn't just going to give up like that, he was going to press until he agreed. "But," he tried to say but Paxton would not listen to a single word that he had to say. "No buts," he returned. "I only told you that I don't want to talk about her," he ended. But as Paxton already knew, Jaxto
CHAPTER 117 FINALLY, the day for the stakeholders' meeting came. Hearts pounded, the tension rose, arrangements were being made and even calls for celebration.That morning, Jaxton got dressed as soon as he could into his White suit worth over ten thousand dollars. He had to present himself well to the stakeholders as the next CEO of the company in place of his father. He was so sure that his brother Paxton was unaware of whatever was around and he was going to take him unaware. A dark smile hovered on his face as he thought about taking over the company. "I can't even imagine the look on his face with it would be announced to him," he thought in his head as a dark laughter escaped from his mouth."And once I get this position, I will be able to get Sydney back," he said to himself"I can't wait to see that look on his face when Paxton would be eventually dismissed as the CEO.When he got to the venue for the event, most of the stakeholders were already seated. A smile hovered on
CHAPTER 116 Paxton stared into the stakeholder's eyes as cold shivers ran down his spine and streams of sweat were already forming at the corner of his eyes. "I can't believe you, my twin brother can't betray me this way after all we had gone through together," he returned with his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through. "And why should I be lying to you" the stallholder returned without a trace of Deciet in his his eyes. Paxton Didn't know who to trust or whom to believe, him or my blood brother. "I can show you proof of it," he returned.Paxton watched him as he brought out his phone from his pocket and showed the message that he had gotten from Jaxton and he felt as though he had been trust a dagger right in the heart. "What are you going to do now?" The stallholder inquired. Paxton felt betrayed and he could feel his anger rising so badly that he had to clutch his hands to control my rising anger. "How could you do this to me Jaxton?"
Chapter 115Paxton POV"I swear boss, I would find a means to attach more finances to the already dilapidated market. Just give me time." The words coming out from Justin, the marketing directors were utterly irritating and even propelled my already sour mood."You had one week Justin, one week to make things right. We both know it was your fault that the stock dropped. You were too negligent, too lazy to take the risks that I so desire from you." Despite his stupidity, I tried my best to remain calm, as emotions were only meant to be expressed by the weak."Boss, please give me one more week. I swear to you, one more week and we would be back on top again. One more fucking week boss." I had his termination letter waiting."Take that brown envelope and get the fuck out of my office." I instructed. Slowly I observed his hesitation, before eventually walking towards the brown envelope. Once Justin unveiled the content of the envelope, he dropped to his knees begging."You don't want me
Chapter 114"Feelings? The night at Hawaii? If anyone had told me that something had happened between you both in Hawaii, I would have slit such a person's throat off." Jaxton had obviously eavsdropped on our conversation. I looked around to see Paxton was up on his feet and the look of guilt was expressed in his countenance."I knew something was off about selecting Sydney to go with you to Hawaii. Heck I was the stupid one. I should have realized right on time that you both had a thing going on." "Jaxton." He shushed me up as as I tried to speak."You do not speak when I am talking to my brother." His words were filled with venom and his eyes held so much rage in them. This was the dangerous version of Jaxton, that I never thought would exist."So tell me brother, how was it? Was it intense? I bet you enjoyed her sucking down your dick and going all the way to your nutsack." Jaxton playing mind games was seriously getting to not only Paxton but myself."Don't speak about her in su
Chapter 113Sydney POV.Several works to be completed in the office today, but my mind wasn't focused. The memories of the night in Hawaii kept replaying in my head. While the night was fun filled; from my perspective, I knew above everything that it had implications. Regardless of the fact that Paxton may have dropped his unruly attitude towards me, I still can't get over the fact that Jaxton would blow the roof off with his rage, when he hears of my sexual adventure with his brother. The situation was complicated and one that I wish above everything never to happen. While filling up some of the loopholes, left in the documents, the telephone buzzed."Hello?" "My office, now." Paxton's deep voice came through the other side. My heart rate increased and anxiety crept through my skin, wondering what he would think of our adventures. None of us had been able to have a meaningful conversation about it and while it could mean nothing to him, it meant everything to me.Staring at the i
Chapter 112Paxton and Sydney had been back from New York for a few months before they decided to binge-watch a movie together just for the sake of being happy.They both agreed on a funny romantic comedy, laughing and joking throughout. As the night went on, things got more heated between them and soon enough they were making out. It felt right and natural at the moment. Before they knew it, they were in Paxton’s bedroom and things escalated quickly. They both wanted it, and they were soon having sex. Even though they were both consenting adults, Sydney felt a twinge of regret afterwards. She hadn't expected things to move so fast and wasn't sure if she was ready for the complexities that come with a relationship. Paxton was just as confused. He had feelings for her, but he also knew they were new to each other and the enormity of what had just happened was starting to sink in. They both opted to take a step back and try to process everything that had happened. In the end, th
