After my meeting that was scheduled at 11am, I went back to my office and started to read the client's file that Shelby's secretary had given me. Mr. Kolinsky seems like a very big deal to Shelby since she gave me this job to handle it for them because she can't. She must've known that I have a very good persuasive skill which is why she gave me this small task to start off with our new partnership deal. A knock sounded from the door and I looked up as Sylvia walks in.
"Mr. Cartwright?"
"Yes?"
"There was a call from Falcon Group and they want you to be there at a 12:30 meeting to discuss the new deal with their cosmetic project." I frown

Jason's POVIt was already past five thirty in the afternoon that I finally decided to escape from my office to get some fresh air outside. My employees had already retired for the day and Sylvia was the last one to leave and I'm now the only one still wandering at work. Before she left, I asked her to get me two bottles of Corona and to call Chase to come see me at the company. I took the two bottles of beer with me to the rooftop and I just stared at the city below me while drinking one bottle and keeping the other one for Chase. I waited and watched till the sun starts to set and the city started to get enveloped by darkness and multiple lights start to light up everywhere. The lights around the rooftop starts to turn on as well, probably done by one of the security guards on duty downstairs in the lobby.

Shay's POVI don't remember how I got back home last night or even how I got into my bed, but one thing for sure is that, vodka gives a mean hangover. I stripped myself out of bed and clutched my head as I groaned all the way to the bathroom to get ready. After showering, my head felt a little better and I slowly get dressed to head to work. My outfit for today was a blood red jumpsuit with thin straps and a white blazer. I put my hair up in a ponytail leaving two thick hair locks out to frame my face and then I did my makeup. I slipped on my white heels and then grabbed my handbag before leaving my room to go downstairs and have breakfast.To my surprise, Shelby was already there at the table having breakfast alone. She seems to enjoy coming home very often now that she's using

Shay's POVAlong the drive to work, I plugged in one of my air pods and dialed the number of a very important client from China, that I was closely acquainted with during his last business trip here to San Francisco. I figured if was going to handle our products in other international countries as well, then starting in our closest foreign branch is the first step. He answered the call a minute later and I quickly started small talk, just asking how he was doing and making sure he still remembers the good time he had spent in San Francisco thanks to my help. He was a client of my father and since I was the only one in the family that speaks fluent Chinese, dad wanted me to stay close to him and showed him around the city and help him out with anything since he was still working on his English.

Shay's POV"Can someone send me the weekly report please?""Yes, right away ma'am."I moved away from the intercom on my table after informing my assistant and then started sorting out the other files on the other side. It's only been my second day and I didn't realize that working here at Falcon Group would be this hectic. Although I knew it wasn't like this before when my brother was still the CEO but I guess what Shelby said this morning was right. We really are on pins and needles trying to get the company back on its feet, now that the person that was running the company is gone. A short knock sounded from my door and I called out to the person to enter. I looked up and smiled when I saw that it was

Chase ordered a whiskey on the rocks and I ordered a bloody Mary instead, we clinked our glasses together and slowly sipped our drinks in comfortable silence. I suddenly remembered about Sylvia, and now that Chase is here and we're both not at work right now, might as well invite her to come so we all hang out together and I can finally introduce them to each other. Although she might not like it but it's still worth a shot. I grabbed my phone from my purse and browsed through my contact list for her number.

Even when she's requesting to meet at somewhere in public and she's going to tell me some things about Jason, I still have this weird feeling that I got from last night after our phone call. It's so weird and very unsettling but Jason is the only man in my life that I've ever been in love with, so if there are some things about him that I should be aware of even when he can't tell me, I guess learning about a few things from his ex-girlfriend won't hurt at all. Though it's pretty annoying.I wore a dark red silky top with thin spagh

We were only inside the room for about 20 minutes till she told us to leave so she can be alone with him for a while.

It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye. Yet, despite the brevity of our encounter, I couldn't shake him from my thoughts.Did he think of me too? Was he caught in a whirlwind of memories and emotions just as I was?

My heart raced as I watched my video from the frat party trend across social media platforms. It was as if people couldn't get enough of it, sharing it from one corner of the internet to another. And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation. People saw me as a walking embodiment of flawlessness, and I had meticulously crafted that image. But now, this video threatened to expose the cracks in my carefully constructed facade.

It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it. They looked stunning in their own dis
