Chapter 94As she was about to respond to his question her phone pinged notifying her that there was a message."There is a message for all the staff to meet up for the new proposal for the product, and I have got to go," she said as she turned and made her way out of the corridor.As she went out of the corridor she could hear him curse under his breath but she didn't care about that at the moment."Look Sydney I am sorry for the way I behaved" he started but she didn't look at him she couldn't handle his heat at the moment."Your cousin even greeted you but you didn't respond because you wanted to come will you think I am into your brother?""Jaxton shame on you and trust me you would regret your behaviour if you do not curb your stupid anger " she continued as she turned and began to make her way to her office.He felt like a jerk for making her feel that way he knew he was way out of line.And he didn't even know why he has been angry that day.Or maybe it was because Paxton didn'
Chapter 95The next morning she hurried off to the office and since she had a meeting at the conference hall she headed straight for it.Sydney saw that everyone at the production unit was doing their best to be productive and this made her happy and excited especially as she saw that no one even noticed she had entered the building.As she entered she took a seat and waited for Paxton to show up so they could continue the chair production.When Paxton showed up everyone got on their feet to welcome him in as per courtesy."Good morning sir" Sydney finally greets and he responded with a nod of his head and showed her the chair so she could be seated once again.The meeting commenced supposed and everyone was ready with their notepads in hand. Sydney and Paxton sat in the conference room with the production team, discussing the progress of the latest project. As the CEO of the company, Paxton led the meeting by sharing the project timeline and updating the team on the status of each
Sydney sat at her desk, twirling her pen between her fingers absentmindedly as she waited for Paxton to finish up some files. She couldn't help but let her thoughts drift to their chiselled jawline, his piercing blue eyes, and his infectious laugh.She had always had a bit of a crush on him, but lately, it had become all-consuming. She found herself daydreaming about him during meetings and staying late just to catch a glimpse of him leaving the office. It was like she couldn't escape his allure.But as much as she was drawn to him, she also knew that they had important work to do. They were tasked with improving the working and payment standards of the production team of the White Company, and Sydney was determined to get the job done. She took a deep breath, refocused her thoughts, and eagerly awaited Paxton's return so they could begin their much-needed discussion.Paxton looked up from his book and caught Sydney staring at him. She quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed that h
Chapter 97It was only when she got home that she realised she had not called Jaxton or even texted him."Shit she exclaimed as she turned her phone on to see that she had received numerous messages and voice messages from Jaxton." I'll respond when I am done," she said as she tossed the phone on the nightstand and went in to get her bath.She needed it because she was exhausted.She realised it was a Friday and she had promised Amanda and the other girls a meetup so she had to fulfil it but this time she would have to have the girl's night out at home because if she left her house she just might not come back.Selfish as it might sound but she had movies they could watch hopefully the girls accepted. Sydney had been friends with Amanda for years, and the two had a Friday night tradition of getting together for drinks and good conversation. However, Sydney had been extremely busy with work lately and had to skip out on the past few outings. To make up for a lost time, she invited
Chapter 98After what had happened over the weekend she had not called Jaxton at all the entire weekend she needed time to think of what to do.As she got to the office on Monday, grudgingly by the way as she had not had perfect sleep all through the weekend she walked to her office just to be informed by her secretary that she had been chosen to go get a deal with Sophies Agency for their product advert."Why does he always choose me for this huge task?" she asked herself as she carried her bag and everything she would be needing out of the office to her car so she could discuss it with Sophie.As she got to the office she began a conversation with Sophies Manager."From the look of it, everything looks great and u are certain my boss would approve of this" the manager assured Sydney was excited to hear that because she could not wait to have a connection with Sophie."Ms Sophie would like to see you now" the manager informed her when she got up and made her way to the CEO of the Age
Chapter 99"Damn Syd, you scared me there for a minute," Paxton said."Well if I don't make you feel the brunt of anxiety what does that make me?" she shrugged with excitement and Paxton ran to her side.And before she could know what was happening he gave her a big hug which ended up with a peck on the cheek.Pushing him away she stood awed and thanked God no one saw it as they were busy chatting."What did you do that for?" she asked."I am sorry I was carried by the mom t Sydney, I apologise it would not happen again," he said.He felt awkward with himself, why had he kissed her on the cheek?What if someone saw them?"Okay everyone we would resume this tomorrow after I must have discussed the modalities with Sophie," Sydney said to the team trying to handle the awkward moment.She walked off even before Paxton could reach up to her.The day had come to a close and she had finally made a meeting with Sophie for the next day.******Sydney, the project manager for the White Company,

Chapter 100As they began to work hand in hand with Sophie a lot of things seem to have changed.Sydney and Sophie's advertisement plan ran into turbulent waters when a rival company came up with their competitive projects. The new proposals presented an unexpected challenge for the advertising team, as the market dynamics shifted overnight. White Corporation, Sydney's employer, and the advertising agency CEO, Sophie, were thrown into a tailspin as they struggled to keep up with the upcoming rival campaigns.Initially, the team had been working seamlessly, collaborating to develop a solid and competitive plan that would stand out in the market. However, with the new competition, they suddenly found themselves on the back foot, with their original plan lacking the punch to stand up to the new proposals. Sophie and Sydney had to face some harsh realities, and they knew they needed to go back to the drawing board if they wanted to secure a win.Overcoming the challenge proved to be n
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
