By 8:00 in the evening, Jane had all the evidence she will need to win against whatever accusations Mr. Robert might bring her way. She and Marcus meticulously went through the iPad. They got access to messages between Suzan and Mr. Robert, Mr. Robert planned to eliminate Emilia because she was getting too nosey, and plans to do the same with Jane if she didn’t back off soon, and also Marcus. Huge amounts of money are shared between Mr. Robert and Suzan, and the plan is to blame it on the account who was arrested a few days after Emilia was stabbed. Apparently, the party was thrown so Jane could feel satisfied and stop trying to frustrate their plane. The security camera’s tape was enough to clarify that Jane did not poison Suzan. And as a bonus, Emilia had videos of Mr. Robert physically abusing his wife—the woman Jane had run into some time back.The night was perfect and Jane suggested she and Marcus celebrate. She was happy she would be able to clear her name and restore the glory
At work, the connection between Marcus and Jane was almost visible.Marcus kept sneaking into Jane’s office for random good-luck kisses.Employees at the office didn’t stop glaring at Jane and whispering as she walked by. Some went the extra mile to tell Marcus to quit his job their reason was—‘for all we know she could poison you too.’Mr. Robert who had never really cared if Jane worked or not; became intentional about keeping her busy throughout the day. He bombarded her with trivial things to do like bookkeeping and posting journal entries, the kind of work reserved for junior accountants. But she did not complain, she was glad to have easy access to every little information she needed. Later that afternoon, Mr. Robert barged into the office with Mia—his wife."Jane, I know your father will not approve of you not having any assistant and this company cannot risk the life of any of its employees again, so she," He pushed Mia forward. "will do whatever you need her to do. She is du
"EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DREAM." Jane shouted in excitement. She then pulled Marcus by his neck and planted her lips on his.Marcus began responding but pulled away almost immediately. Jane's expression was confused but she then flowed his gaze to see Flanz looking at them through the front mirror. Her excitement was instantly replaced by panic. "Flanz," she called softly. "Are you going to tell on us?"Flanz's bewildered expression was replaced with a slow smirk. "I am just err… Shocked." He slowed his driving pace. "After … " he skipped the name. "broke your heart we all thought you would never love again."Jane and Marcus had their eyes glued on him."I am happy to see you have changed your mind about love ma'am." Flanz's smile widen.Jane and Marcus sighed in relief and then giggled because they had been holding their breath."Only if," Flanz glanced at them from the front mirror."There is a catch," Marcus said hourly."If I am allowed to pursue Mia." Flanz's cheeks flushed r
Jane was starting to get restless waiting for Marcus. Since they became a thing they spend most of their time together. They spent the day pretending their relationship was nothing more than a Boss-Bodyguard relationship. They spend the night talking. Jane used to fear they would one day run out of things to talk about but each night when they say their good nights she had more questions.She sighed. Marcus was on his evening rituals which she deem unnecessary. She tried meditation but couldn't think past Marcus. She sighed again and checked the time. She then decided to call Sophia. Her friendship with Sophia had been strained lately and it was mostly her fault. Since the last time Sophia called she hadn't had time to call her back mostly because she was spending most of her time with Marcus.On the fourth ring, Sophia's voicemail picked up. Jane terminated the call and tried again. Sophia's voicemail picked up on the fourth ring. She knew Sophia was intentionally ignoring her calls.
Mr. Morrison's excitement made Jane wonder if he wasn't the same person who was in Berlin with her not up to 72 hours ago. Both her parents were at the airport with a gigantic 'welcome home' sign. As if the attention she got from the airport was not enough they threw her a surprise party and invited as many people as they could including superstar Perry."Dad…" she whined. "This is just too much.""This wasn't my idea." Her father said playing innocent. "It was all your mother's idea, I told her not to but she won't listen."Mrs. Morrison frowned at her husband. "Shall we ask Perry who invited him to the party?""No!" Mr. Morrison yelled.After Perry's presentation, he walked over to Jane, and they shared a brief friendly hug. They shared a very formal kind of friendship since college and it still stood unchanged."Jane this is my fiance Katie," he said referring to the most gorgeous human Jane had seen."Hi," the lady said shyly, with a sweet smile."Hi," Jane replied, trying to soun
"It's going to be okay," Marcus whispered in her ear."What if she throws a tantrum?"Marcus winced. "Do you think my mother is that dramatic?""I am sorry," Jane muttered touching his face."Well then, let's go inside. Dinner is getting cold." He said leading the way."Wait, what? You cooked?!" Jane jogged to meet up with Marcus."Nope, my mother did." He opened the front door only to be greeted by a bunch of petals on his face."Emily," he said the name slowly trying to control his anger.Jane and Emily giggled."Ha-ha." He said humorlessly. "I am glad you both found this funny." He mumbled and stomped into the kitchen."I did plan to pour you a bucket of flowers also but you laughed with me, so you are safe to go in.""Thank you, ma'am," Jane replied with a smile and walked into the house."You have a nice home." Jane complimented."Yeah right," Emily mumbled rolling her eyes.The house was nothing close to their mansion. The house was simple but comfortable. The living room was de
Jane lay doleful on her bed. Today was her turn to tell her parents about her relationship with Marcus. She would have to tell her parents—who are already suspicious about the relationship between her and Marcus. Today she would explain the reason she is always happy and nice to everyone and compliments on how beautiful everything is, which is because of Marcus. Today she is going to say what she has been meaning to tell them.Last Saturday was when they told Marcus' mother about their relationship and she was more accommodating than they thought, she welcomed her with overly open arms, The next day she went shopping with her. Mrs. Wang was in her room earlier and had asked what was troubling her when she kept pacing through and fro her room. She didnt see the need to lie to the older lady so she told her the truth. As expected Mrs. Wang was happy she finally found love again, she also stated that love was bringing back all her good self she had lost long ago. Everybody likes to blame
Jane was starting to wonder if Marcus had a twin she didn’t know about. In the presence of her father, he was so professional she sometimes thinks he had decided to listen to her father and keep their relationship Heiress-Bodyguard. But then he sneaks into her room almost every night for the past 1 month and is still his goofy self when they are alone or with his family.She remembered when she and her father had gone to a conference together and as usual Marcus had to be there to protect her. He looked so professional and put together. Not once did her father see him looking at her in another way except his professionally focused stares.“Marcus, I cannot believe how professional you look. You look more responsible when doing your job than you did when saying that nonsense about liking my daughter.” Mr. Morrison complimented; “I am proud of you kiddo.” he added tapping Marcus’ shoulder and leaving for his car.“I was so naïve then.” Marcus had answered.She was at the airport to see
