Ryan was stood looking angrily at Grace who had been the one to bang on my door.“I told her not to wake you” He grumbled.“But its my house and I don’t need to listen to you” She laughed as she pushed past me and entered my room with a huge bag. She dumped the bag out on the bed. “This is some of my clothes that will fit you”.“Thank you” I tried to smile as I walked over and pulled out a pair of leggings and a t-shirt.“Happy to help, now let’s go get some food and coffee into you”. She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.I reached out and grabbed Ryan’s hand on my way past. He smiled as he grabbed my phone “I am guessing Jack will have messaged you”

Ryan’s POVI woke up early and went to wait outside Charlottes room for when she woke up. I gathered that she would not have had a good night sleep, so I planed on leaving her to wake up on her own. Then Grace came out of her room and walked over to me grinning.“What are you standing around for stud?”“I am waiting for Charlotte to wake up”“Want to wait in my room?” She winked at me.“My job is to keep Charlotte safe, so I would prefer to stand here and wait for her to wake up”“Do you like her?”“What do you mean?”“Do you fancy her?”“What? No, we are friends, and she is with my boss”“Is she though?”“Yes, she is, she is just angry at him and that is fully understandable as I am also angry at him”“You are a big sweetheart” She chuckled “I will be back soon, I need to grab some clothes for her to wear” She gave me a small wave as she went back to her room.I had to admit she was cute in a crazy kind of way.It did not take her long to come back carrying a big bag.

I was not sure how I felt about the whole thing yet. As soon as we got back Grace dragged me back to my room and pushed me into, the bathroom.“We will wait out here” she told me as she shut the doorI glared at the closed door for a few minutes before finally walking towards the toilet and opening the package to read the instructions. So, from the look of it I just needed to pee on the stick and wait. I pulled out the first test and pissed on it like it said, I then put in on the vanity to wait. I swear that three minutes lasted for eternity. I kept glancing at my phone waiting for the time to be up. Finally, the three minutes were up, and I walked over the check the test. I stood frozen as I looked at it, I quickly pulled out the instructions to check that I was reading it right. I left t

Jack’s POVAfter we had breakfast, we headed over to Phillips warehouses. It was time for his staff to know that they had new bosses effective immediately. I was expecting more fight, but it turns out he paid his staff shit and treated them even worse. Most of them were happy that I was taking over. Grant had the job of moving all of Phillips and Gavins houses and bank accounts into Charlottes name. Once that was done, she can choose what she wants to do with them. Thankfully since I was so busy I did not have time to dwell on the fact that Charlotte was not waiting for me at home.By the end of the weekend, Charlotte was not the proud owner of eleven cars, five houses and six million dollars. I was looking forward to letting her know when I saw her next, what would hopefully be on Monday in the office.

Grant’s POVI groaned as I stretched my back, I had not sat for this long behind a computer for years. I had spent the last few hours going though and finding all the bank accounts, properties and cars that were in Phillips and Gavins names and moving them all into Charlottes. The wife who I discovered was called Rose sent me a picture of her sat on a nice beach somewhere. I assumed she was fine and moving on with her life. I also kept a close eye on Jane as I did not trust that girl not to come back and cause trouble. Since she had left Phillips, she had been begging the husband to take her back, I felt bad for her when he sent her away. It turned out that he had now moved on with his secretory. She was now currently living on the streets.

You had a coffee on Friday”“Since Saturday morning” I mumbled “When will Grant be here? I have finished my work, so I would like to go talk to Hannah now” I smiled at him, I wanted to know why this bitch tried to seduce my man. She must have known that he would reject her, so what was her aim?“I will call him now” Jack picked up his phone and called Grant.“I need you at the office now” He hung up without saying anything else.“That was rather rude” I mumbled.He looked at me in shock “Your right, I have been a bit stressed these last couple of days”“Was that Grants fault?” I asked looking him right in the eyes.“No” He admitted “It was due to my own actions”“Then don’t take

I eves dropped on his conversation with Zac thinking maybe he was going to give him my job and fire me. Only he was offering him a job as Charlottes driver, I guess I did still have a job. Once Zac left, I waited for him to call me over.
