To my chagrin, my door was opened, and Jason walked in without even being invited. "I'm sorry I'm late, I had problems with traffic. I even had to come here by helicopter," he said quite excitedly, and I frowned. "I was just missing this one," I muttered to myself, quite disgusted. "What? Do you
Laura I forced myself to laugh mockingly at his words. "So you missed me when I was your human alarm, promptly waking you up every day at the same time for you to go to work? Did you miss how I made myself available to keep you tidy? Did you miss me in the kitchen? Or when I prepared your bath when
LauraI saw Jason finally leave my room, and as soon as he closed the door, I covered my mouth with my hands to stifle the big laugh I let out. I got up and went to my living room window and looked at the powerful view of Manhattan outside. Furthermore, I had a smile of satisfaction on my face, it w
I couldn't deny that Jason Davies deserved a proper punishment, but it was also painful to see him lose everything to that woman. "He was too stupid not to be smart," I condemned. "Yeah, it was like Kendall put a spell on him. What a hell of a situation.""Spell or not, he remains the one to blame
Jason Dating? What? What does it mean? "Are you dating? Who are you dating?" I asked, feeling my mouth suddenly go dry. "I'm dating Richard," she replied, her big brown eyes still wide as if she were afraid of something. Her small, upturned nose was red at the tip, as were her cheeks. Laura Tho
Laura "What? What are you talking about? Did Jason find out about my daughter?" I was practically screaming in amazement when, on a group call with Ava and Terence, they told me about Jason's finding out. "If it's anything to go by, Jason thinks your daughter is a boy and not a girl," said Ava, t
"That Richard is a damn player," Terence commented recently. "Don't talk like that, Richard is a good guy," I said, defending Richard. "Look, we're going to take you off the call. You are drooling Jason egg," Ava said to Terence, then removed him from the call. She and I burst out laughing. Poor
Laura Strangely enough, Jason hadn't shown up again for a whole week, so I thought he had given up on me because I told him I was dating Richard. Maybe he decided to take some time to think about what he was doing. I was hoping he would stop bothering me and let me work in peace, but I got the answ
Gideon POV I was there in the car, and I still couldn't believe that Lindsay was kissing me. After so long yearning for this moment, and suddenly, with a piece of advice from Jason and a day of practicing that advice, there she was, surrendering to me, kissing me with a passion that consumed me fro
Lindsay's POV I didn't know what to expect when I returned to work knowing that Gideon would be my new boss, but I certainly didn't imagine the day would be a whirlwind of emotions. The idea of working alongside my ex-husband didn't seem easy, but I was determined to show that I am professional, ca
Lindsay POV I was in the women's bathroom, watching my reflection in the mirror as I tried to compose myself to face Gideon once again. Seeing him there at the company had already been a surreal surprise, but finding out that he would be my new boss? It had completely disarmed me. I had even yelled
Laura POV I was lying on the dark blue sofa in my office, feeling every nerve in my body tense as if it were about to snap. Sunlight streamed through the windows, but it couldn't dispel the darkness of the day unfolding. The morning had started with Zoey's dismissal, leaving a bitter taste of betra
Lindsay POV I was boiling with anger. Each step I took in Laura's office seemed to echo my frustration. How could she have done this to me? "What the hell was that? What is Gideon Bathory doing here?" It was true that I was screaming somewhat hysterically, but no one could blame me for anything si
Lindsay's POV Seeing my ex-husband there in front of me, as the new director of Hextec, and not only that, but assigning me to be his assistant, was a shock. My heart almost stopped when I realized that my new boss would be Gideon. He had a look that seemed to apologize, but there was also a deter
"I really feel sorry for this unsettling situation," I commented, not knowing what to think. Laura nodded and then rubbed her face as if trying to shake off that bad feeling. "But enough of that. I have something for you." She handed me a stack of documents with trembling hands. "We have a new dire
Lindsay POV "Mommy, are you going to bring me chocolate when you get off work today?" my boy asked me over the phone. I gave a little laugh, loving to hear his voice on the other end of the line. "Yes, my love. Mommy will bring you a giant chocolate," I replied. "Yay! That way I can save some for
Zoey POV I was having one of those days you wish you could erase from your memory, one of those you'd rather never have lived. It all started with the ugly fight I had with Chad, which ended with him taking Max to the police station. That night, Chad shouldn't have come back home, but he did, and h
