Jordan's office door was open. A sexy woman in a white and black dress stepped in. Her smile was quite charming. She walked confidently toward Jordan. Karen had come as agreed, to discuss Jordan's business and how she could deal with the mess.
"Good morning, Mr. Hayden," Karen said hello, then sat down across from Jordan.
“Morning, Miss Clarkson. Thank you for coming this morning.” Jordan returned the greeting.
Karen turned to the man standing next to Jordan's chair. The man nodded, with a faint smile greeting Karen.
“This is my assistant, Lorenz. He will explain what is needed.” Jordan introduces Lorenz.
"Alright, let's get started." Karen opened her laptop, ready to jot down whatever she needed.
Lorenz took his place and a meeting took place immediately. Karen carefully watched everything that happened, from start to finish. She asked things to clarify every side she needed to know. Lorenz and Jordan quickly gave th
Crystal stepped closer to James. She handed the man a few sheets of paper, mentioning a few names Clarabelle had never known before. From the look on James' face, he didn't really like it. But James didn't refuse the sheet that was handed to him. Clarabelle knew what James was holding. They were several check sheets."Granny, you are always been like this," James grumbled. "They already get the appropriate salary from the office.""It doesn’t matter. What's wrong with giving them? Let them have more blessings, James. Thank you, dear." Crystal tapped James on the shoulder, asking him not to protest what Crystal did.James kept the sheet that had moved into his hand in the inside pocket of his jacket. Then he continued on his way but briefly glanced at Clarabelle. After James left, Crystal turned to look at Clarabelle."Come on, let's get on with our business." A smile returned to Crystal's lips.The excited woman led Clarabelle to the back of
It was getting dark. The sky was getting redder.Clarabelle continued to steer the car a little out of town, slightly up on the side of the housing. Arriving there, Clarabelle got out of the car and looked at the scene before her eyes. On that side was where Clarabelle spent her time when she came home from school. Sometimes she listened to songs while gazing at the beauty of the city in the distance. Sometimes she drew pictures of the beauty of the sky decorated with clouds that drift endlessly.Jordan stood by Clarabelle's side, watching the city begin to fill with twinkling lights. The red sky was getting darker. There was no moon, only a few stars here and there, twinkling in the sky.“I love seeing all the beauty. But it was not usually this dark,” said Clarabelle. Her eyes remained straight ahead.“You know the romantic place.” Jordan spread his arms, he hugged Clarabelle tightly. "Pleasant trip."Clarabelle's heart rumbled. She was relieved that her choice to take Jordan to tha
Jordan looked at Karen who was already in front of him. The woman grew bolder. The costumes that she wore show her body which was sexy and quite tempting. Inevitably, Jordan's playboy soul struggled. For a long time, he had endured only with Clarabelle. The last time he touched another woman besides his wife, it was Karen, but in a drunken state.“I was even able to solve your problem quicker than I thought, Jordan.” Karen took a few steps toward Jordan.Jordan swallowed his saliva. Something was vibrating from Jordan's body close like this to Karen."Aren’t you making this up?" Jordan certainly wasn't sure if the struggle that had left him depressed and frantic had only been taken care of in two nights by Karen. Jordan sensed that something was wrong with Karen's arrival."You still don't want to believe in my business skills, do you?" Karen put her hands up and wrapped her arms around Jordan's shoulders. "I can make men melt not only in bed but in the black and white game, the dolla
Reluctantly, Jordan left the office. Karen had texted several times. She was at Jordan's apartment preparing a special night for their date. Jordan's heart wrestled. On the one hand, he remembered Clarabelle, remembered his promise to Adriano, he would make Clarabelle happy. Jordan had promised to be faithful, only dear to his wife. But on the other hand, he had also promised Karen, would have a relationship with her because Karen was able to solve Jordan's problem."Damn, damn, damn!" Irritated, Jordan repeatedly cursed because of the situation that seemed to ensnare him. If only he could, he just wanted to go home. He wanted to be with Clarabelle. Jordan was also surprised, his heart became more attached to the simple woman he married because of that bet."You will definitely cry and be angry if you know what I am doing, Lala," Jordan spoke as if Clarabelle was with him. "Okay, I'll play Karen's game, but I also have to figure things out so this doesn't last long."Jordan made up hi
For two days, Jordan didn't come to see Clarabelle. Only sent a few messages. Clarabelle was still with Adriano ensuring his condition was stable before Clarabelle would return home. Adriano was of course happy that his daughter was at home with him. He didn't really feel the weakness in his body, he took the time to talk to Clarabelle. He wanted to prove that Jordan had fulfilled his promise to him. “He worked hard, trying to keep the family business going. He had a problem with his business, but thankfully, everything has been resolved.” Clarabelle tells Adriano what happened with Jordan. "Does he really love you?" Adriano continued to chase. Clarabelle looked at her board. Why was Adriano still hesitating? "Jordan said he loves me a few times. He wants to make me happy, Pa. That's why he gave me a private vehicle so that I can be free, free whenever I want to visit you or go to meet Granny." Clarabelle tried to convince Adriano, Jordan had changed. He was committed and strived t
Clarabelle's smile faded when she saw Jordan come to meet her at Adriano's house. She missed Jordan so much. Facing him, Clarabelle didn't wait anymore, she hugged Jordan tightly. “How are you, honey? I really miss you." Clarabelle didn't want to let Jordan go. Jordan's heart throbbed. Clarabelle increasingly dared to express her affection. The name 'Honey', Jordan believed it was the first time Clarabelle had said it for him. Jordan also felt the same longing. He missed Clarabelle's sweet smile. He missed Clarabelle would tell him whatever she remembered, creating a cheerful atmosphere between them. “I miss you too, Babe. How is Papa?” Jordan asked Adriano. "He's fine. Come in." Clarabelle took Jordan and led him inside the living room. Adriano was sitting with Susan, Clarabelle's friend. They smile broadly while talking or with each other. “Hi, Jordan, nice to see you!” Adriano smiled at Jordan. “Papa…” Jordan approached Adriano and sat beside him. Immediately the conversation
The conversation kept going. Laughter occasionally rang out between them. Susan didn't get tired of looking at Lorenz. Handsome, although not as strong as James or Jordan, he was still attractive and cool. Susan didn't deny it, she liked the friendly man. “You turned out to be a lovely man, Lorenz. I thought you were quiet and only liked the office work that gave you a headache." Crystal looked at Lorenz with a smile. "We must be able to position ourselves, mam. If you work, you have to be serious and maximal. While enjoying a relaxed atmosphere, also serious and maximal. I like to tell stories. And, don't mind listening to stories too." Lorenz answered Crystal with a crisp smile. "Ah, it's okay, my two grandchildren feel so comfortable with you. You know how to deal with James, but you also know how to deal with Jordan. Great!” The wider Crystal smiled. "Thank you for the compliment." Lorenz nodded as he returned his sweet smile. “Sir, is there any vacancy for me to work for the
“I'm tired, Karen, I need to take a rest. And I'm very thirsty." Jordan turned around, he walked into the dining room to get a drink.Karen just stared at Jordan. She knew Jordan very well. She knew the handsome man didn't really want to be with her. It turned out that the time together began to intertwine, even though Jordan was still keeping pace with his game, Jordan was still thinking about that fringe woman."Jordan’s wife … well, she's great. How can Jordan be attached to an ordinary woman? I think by forcing him by my side, Jordan can have the same heart as he used to when we were dating.” Karen was disappointed that she couldn't win Jordan's heart."But I won't give up, Jordan. I have a strong key to bind you to. If you are married to Clarabelle, you are in business with me.” Karen smiled sarcastically. Her will won’t fade. Jordan was still coming, to meet her, he still had enough time to tie Jordan tighter.Karen followed Jordan into the dining room. Jordan stood facing the w
