No, she wasn't. She was always dressed in cheap dresses. She looked poor and unkept. But the woman before him now looks impeccable and sweet. "This is your car key," Jace offered her. Since they have to act officially in the office, she has to come to the office on her own and return as well. Arianna placed a hand on her chest. A car key? She collected it and hugged Jace "Thank you darling. I love you" she chimed, kissing his chin. She quickly cleaned the lipstick that touched his chin. Jace smiled and said "you're welcome my love. I will leave earlier than you. So meet me in the office" he said. They came downstairs and Jace took a few pieces of pizza and a glass of beverages. He stood up and kissed Arianna's temple. He left. When Arianna stepped out, twenty minutes later, she was dazed when she saw that the car Jace bought for her was a Lamborghini. This car was too expensive for her. She walked around it and was all smiles. Jace bought her a brand new
Arianna nodded and followed behind. Sarah knocked and the thick masculine voice answered. They stepped in. It was the same as the last time she stepped in. Jace was head bent, writing on a file. A glass of coffee was in front of him and the two women just stood, waiting for him to raise his head. Arianna admired him. It's nice waking up to see his cute handsome face every morning. This is the man who held her in his arms until she slept off the previous evening. He placed his pen down and raised his head to glance at the two women before him. "Yes," he said, glancing from one to the other. His face was expressionless and it doesn't seem as if he's met Arianna before. "Our new Chief designer sir. She'll introduce herself" Sara said and bowed slightly. She glanced at Arianna and the latter nodded. "Good morning sir. I am Arianna Jason, the new designer for the company,"Arianna said and bowed slightly. "I think you should say a returnee employee. Anyway
Chase glared at Arianna. This woman is intelligent. None of the previous designers ever asked about the theme. No wonder they were designing nonsense and rubbish. Stanley and Lily Ambrose exchange glances again. They look inferior to Arianna immediately she asked that question. "You are to make a design. What are you trying to prove by asking for the theme of the contest? Look Miss Jason, don't try to make a show here of anything. We are in this field before you and you should learn to be quiet whenever we are around" Lily snapped at her. "Excuse me Lily Ambrose. What are you saying? I may be new here but I am a chief and a senior designer in my previous work place and I know my job well. How can you go into a contest with other competent designers when you don't even know what the theme of the contest is? There are different designs for different purposes and for different occasions. So, what am I designing and for what purpose? What should I present to t
Jane shivered when she heard the noise of glass shattering. She walked over quickly and saw her husband's ashen face. He was dazed, just staring at Derick. "You still haven't known? She kept her away from you all these years?" Derick demanded. He saw the shock and puzzle on his brother's face and knew that Susan did exactly what she said. Adrian Delmark just remained mute, staring at his brother helplessly. How come? How is it that Susan conceived and didn't tell him, how can she keep his daughter a secret from him? "Are you kidding me or are you being serious with what you just said?" Adrian asked. He turned and glared at his wife. Jane was trying to understand the whole scenario. "Adrian, are you alright?" Jane asked. She walked over and placed her hand on Adrian's shoulder. She is not strong enough to stand without support. "How can he be,Jane? No man would be, after discovering he has a daughter that's over 25 years old" Derick declared. Jane felt
Jane was speechless. She watched as Derick stood up and went out. Derick was estranged from his brother because of her. He didn't want Adrian and herself to end up together, he had always preferred Susan. But Adrian loves her the most. They all know how much Susan crushed, loved and adores Adrian but he didn't have that feelings for Susan like he did for her. Adrian was in his study, he tried to be calm but he couldn't. She loves him. She begged, sobbed and wished that he loved her. He tried to explain to her, he loves her friend, Jane. His heart was beating for Jane. He was crazily in love with her and cannot lie to her. He told her not to expect anything from him, he cannot give her what she wants. Adrian stood up and went to stand by the window. He glanced out, not looking at anything in particular. He was guilty. He broke her heart, truncated her expectation of a happy ending with him. He didn't know, he never knew. How did their daughter survive after
When she hung up,she glanced at Jace. He shut down his laptop and placed it aside. He glanced at Arianna and said "do you feel so excited when you are with me like you were a few minutes ago?" "Yes,but in my heart" Arianna replied. Jace giggled and said "I don't want it in your heart, I want it in your expression and words" he said. They soon arrived at the boutique. Jace sat down and Arianna went to the dressing room. She would change into a dress and Jace would assess it. If he likes it, he will nod his head and the cloth will be placed in the selected bag. Soon she selected a dinner gown, fish styled backless dress that went down to her feet. Her hourglass figure was outlined, her boobs were obvious and the front part of the dress had a cleavage. When Arianna looked at herself in the mirror, she undoubtedly admired herself. She turned to glance at Jace and caught him staring at her affectionately. His eyes went from her feet upwards until it stopped at her
Flashes of camera were all over them. Some journalists were asking questions about Jace and Arianna's relationship but he didn't even spare them a glance,he treated them as air. As they approached the large garden where the party was being held, Richard and Genesis came out and welcomed them. The stewards bow slightly when Jace passes by them. "Good to have you here, CEO Jace Hudson" Richard paid courtesy. Jace nodded but didn't show any slight interest in shaking hands with him. "You're welcome,Miss Jason," Richard said and kissed Arianna's chin. Genesis hugged her friend but was surprised that Jace didn't leave Arianna's hand. Jace stood at a strategic place, many people started walking over and paying him courtesy. He would talk in one or two sentences and wouldn't say anything else. He sighted Chase Hudson, his brother, holding the hands of a woman. He sighed softly and looked away. Women are not a scarce commodity to Chase. "CEO Jace, can we leave t
"Are you nuts, Tessa?" Richard snapped at her and threw her hand off his body. He glared at Tessa, his happy cheerful face turned ghostly. "Hi dear" Tessa chimed. She glanced at Richard seductively and wanted to touch him but Richard held her hand firmly and looked around before letting her hand off violently. "I am not your dear. And what the hell are you doing here?" Richard asked, snorting in disgust. He turned briefly and glanced towards Genesis and saw her staring at him in fury. Before Tessa could answer Richard turned to glance at Jace "CEO Jace, have me excused" He said and walked Tessa out, holding her by her upper arm. Jace glared at them and looked away. Just then Senator Adrian Delmark and his wife walked over. "It's my honour to have you here, CEO Jace Hudson" he said, stretching his hand for a handshake. "My pleasure, Senator Delmark," Jace Hudson replied, taking his hand. The two men smiled broadly at each other. The younger and the older man see
