Gina came out of the taxi Charles had called for her... She slowly started to walk to the front of her boutique but stopped in her tracks... Her heart was still racing after hearing Charles confession... She didn't give him an answer and was too shocked to speak...Thankfully the taxi had arrived and she left... She still didn't know how to react to his words... it was a mix of confusion, excitement, anger... disappointment... just so many emotions plaguing her all at the same time... She sighed deeply and ran her hand through her... she couldn't go back there again... she couldn't see him again.... Even though she felt the same way, she had to dimish the feeling before it grew... it was her sad reality that she had to deal with... Gian continued walking and was about to head straight to her office as she she walked into her boutique, but a familiar figure was waiting for her... "Gina!" She heard her name, and she turned to see Caroline staring at her with a bright smile on her f
"Has he remembered everything?" a man said in a low voice... He had a black hat on, and his head was hung a bit low as he spoke... "No, I don't think so," Michelle said to the man, her eyes filled with pure worry... Her eyes kept scanning the area she was in. Her entire body was filled up with goosebumps as she stood there. it was a chilly night, and they both stood outside talking... The man sighed deeply and turned to look at her... "I promise there is no way he can remember what happened," She said in a firm tone... The man remained silent for a few seconds before he nodded... "Did you come alone like I asked you to?" Michelle scoffed and rolled her eyes at the man... "Why are you asking me all this questions, when have I ever come here with someone. I'm not crazy!" She said in a slightly raised voice because of how agitated she had become... "Don't raise your voice at me... you and me both know I'm just being careful. " The man retorted, and Michelle glared at him.... She si
"Alex, please, let's just go." Juliet pleaded with him and held his arm before he could take any more steps towards the ladies... He let out a deep sigh and nodded, and juliet felt relief wash over her... They both walked out the restaurant in silence. He said nothing to her while she kept looking around in case anyone recognised him again... She could finally breathe again in relief when they were both inside his car... "I'm sure they were only wondering who I am." She said suddenly, hoping her words would help reduce the tension that had formed between the both of them in the car. "I'm sorry," Alex replied. He never wanted their lunch date to turn out like this. he just wanted them to spend a nice time together and now he ruined everything... "You don't have to be. some people don't just know how to mind their business, " Juliet replied. She knew it wasn't his fault... "We should go somewhere else. somewhere no one would disturb our peace, and I know just the place. " Juliet smiled
Alex was a bit curious about this, Mrs Flicher, now... What was her deal with Juliet, and why wouldn't she just mind her business. Thankfully, his warning to Claudia seemed to have worked. She didn't show up anymore... Maybe he needed to give this 'Mrs Flicher a warning too. "What offer did she make to you?" Alex asked again, and juliet looked hesitant to answer his question... "it isn't anything serious, don't worry about it..." Juliet trailed off because she almost blurted out her plans of moving away that she hadn't quite decided on yet... "Would you like a glass of water..." She said and quickly walked away towards her kitchen to avoid any more questions from Alex... Alex slowly walked after her and stood at the entrance of the kitchen, his eyes on Her as she poured him a glass of water... Juliet could feel his piercing gaze on her body, and she swallowed... and raised her eyes to look at him... Their eyes met, and she immediately looked away..... Her cheeks had started to H
The two of them stood there staring at each other, both their hearts racing... "I could show you," Alex breathed out, and juliet eyes never left his as Alex walked over to where she was standing and captured her lips, taking her breath away... She felt the tingles passing through her entire body, from her head to her toe, and she had to hold his arm for support as the kiss progressed... He started slowly, and she opened up to him and kissed him back... Alex broke the kiss so the both of them could catch their Breaths, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted more and more... "Juliet," He said, her name out in a way that made her body Tremble in desire for him... "Yes," She whispered back, and he captured her lips once again... his tongue Exploring Her mouth and taking her brain to the clouds... Her hand slowly moved from his arms to his shoulders for more support, and Alex took it as she chance to lift her up, causing her to gasp into his mouth... Juliet broke the kiss and raised he
When Alex got home that night, he had a visitor waiting for him in his living room, looking completely anxious... "Sir!" Patrick said immediately he saw Alex walk into the living room... He was beyond anxious and had been waiting for almost an hour for Alex to get home... he needed to get everything he had spoken to Michelle out of his system... he had spent a while living every day in complete guilt, and it didn't help that he had to work closely with Alex every day... he kept like he had betrayed his boss and didn't want to leave any room for misunderstandings..."Patrick... you should have called me. how long have you been here? " Alex said when he saw his P.A. and secretary sitting in his living room looking anxious like something had happened... "Is something the matter. let's talk in my study, " He said, and Patrick nodded and followed Alex to his study... the whole time his heart was racing in guilty..."Now, you can start talking." Alex took a seat and looked at patrick, who
"That would be all for today, we should all grab lunch it's my treat," Sonia said after a meeting with her employees and everyone's face immediately lit up... "What should we have for lunch?" Lana asked, all smiles, and Johnny shook his head... "My aunt told me about a really great restaurant at uptown... she even gave me a guest invite. " Sonai responded, and everyone couldn't be happier they decided to meet again in ten minutes... Johnny's eyes travelled from lana to juliet as they all walked out of the meeting room, except for a brief greeting early that day. Both ladies weren't really on speaking terms... and he could tell that lana was purposely trying to avoid juliet, while juliet looked like she didn't want to avoid her... it just made the atmosphere weird, and he wasn't the only one who seemed to notice it... "Are you going to keep avoiding juliet?" He whispered to lana as they walked back, lana stopped in her tracks and tilted her head to glare at her coworker. "I'm
"Maybe lana was mistaken," Juliet muttered to herself as she walked away from the bus stop after getting down from the bus.... It was late already and dark outside, but she couldn't stop thinking about Gina... she knew she wasn't mistaken. It was definitely the woman she saw at the boutique. The question was, how was this woman related to Alex? was she perhaps like a friend of his or maybe just an acquaintance of Michelle, his mother... she sighed deeply and ran her hand through her hair... "Or maybe a ex girlfriend" she muttered under Her breath and felt a small pang of jealously in her heart, but juliet immediately stomped on it... if she was an ex girlfriend them she had no reason to be jealous they were no longer together... But his mother definitely liked her for son, if they still hanged out together... "Gina's place," She said in a low voice. The boutique had been exceptional... Someone who shopped at such a place would be definitely well off like Alex... Juliet was so engros
