Laura opened her eyes to see Jason standing there and just staring at her. His hand reached her face and pulled a piece of air that was stuck to her check away."Oh, uhm, thank you," Laura said nervously as she turned to see she had pushed off a glass cup just as the door opened.Tim and Audrey hurried into the room, with Audrey holding some files. The tension in the room was palpable as they looked from Laura to Jason before noticing the shattered glass on the floor."Oh, my god, step away from that; I'll get someone to come pack it up," Audrey said, hurrying over to them to drop the file on the table."How did that happen?" Tim said, still looking at Jason and Laura, who seemed to be oblivious to every other person in the room."Yes, please, thank you, Audrey," Jason said, pulling Laura away from the glasses towards the other end of the office."It's good to see you both are fine; would you like me to stay?" Tim asked.Jason turned to him and raised a brow, and Tim nodded as he adde
The only thing Laura was aware of for the next two minutes was Jason. She closed her eyes and sank into the kiss."Laura," Jason murmured against her lips.His lips were warm and soft against hers, sending a shiver of excitement down her spine."Mm…hhhhh," Laura moaned.And just like that, like a spark of electricity, her eyes shot open, and she pulled back almost immediately.Jason, who had his hands wrapped around her back, drew her back to him, causing her to slam into his chest with great force."No running this time, Laura," Jason said, his voice heavy with pleasure as he whispered into her ears.Laura's heart was beating at the speed of light, with the top two buttons of her white blouse undone, revealing the topmost part of her chest, and if you look down closely, there is no telling what you will see."Hmm, hmm," Laura coughed, clearing her voice and looking at any other place than at Jason as she said, "I...uhm, Jason, I should get back to work, and you should be on your way.
Laura stared at the scene before her; her brows squeezed as she saw her twins with their hands wrapped around Jason's leg, sobbing."What's going on here?" Laura asked as she hurried into the room.When Lisa and Liam heard their mother's voice, they liffted up their heads and cried, "Mummy!"Lisa hurried over to her and wrapped her hands around Laura.Laura looked up to see Teressa standing a little away from them with a helpless look on her face."Will someone tell me what is going on here?" Laura asked."Uhm, Laura, so..." Jason said."Mummy, Aunty Agnes is leaving us!" Lisa exclaimed, looking up at her with a tear-stricken face.Understanding struck Laura as she finally realized what was going on, but that didn't explain what Jason was doing there."Oh, my baby, you know she has to go back home," Laura said."No, she should stay with us," Lisa argued.Laura looked up and asked, "How did you get wrapped up in this?"Jason smiled as he replied, "I was actually here to see you when I
The next thing Laura saw was Liam colliding with the moving trolley and staggering backward.She rushed over to him and pulled him away as she asked, “Are you alright?”Then she looked up and said to the couple, “So sorry about this; I hope you are fine.”“Yes, I am, but next time you should hold your boy firmly so he does not run into someone else,” the lady replied.“Oh, he won't, so sorry once again,” Laura replied with a smile.“Oh, it’s fine; I’m sure he didn’t’ mean to cause any harm either,” the lady's husband replied.“No, he probably didn’t mean to, but he would have; you should get his father to hold him or something if you can’t.” The lady said again in a harsh tone, adding, “It’s a crowded place, not a good place for running for a young boy.”Liam’s little lips began to tremble as he said, “I wanted to go after Aunty Agnes; I forgot to tell her something.".Laura didn’t like the lady’s tone, so she replied, “I would appreciate it if you didn’t use that tone with him; he is
Laura looked at Gift, then at Audrey, torn between what to do. The main reason she had come to New York was presented to her, and she didn't know if she should forfeit the trip with Jaosn for it."What do you want to do, Laura?" Gift asked, raising her brows at her and adding, "You gave me two days, but I decided to come so we can get this over and done with."Laura took a deep breath and released it slowly as she made up her mind. If she could wait seven years, then a few more hours would not hurt."I am going on a trip, Grace, an important one. I need you to look me in the eye and promise that I can see you when I get back," Laura said.Grace was silent for a minute as she stared at Laura. She could simply say that was impossible and call their deal null since she was the one who had decided to go on a trip. However, Grace knew what she had to protect was more than that, so she nodded."Okay, I believe waiting a few more hours to hear my side of the story isn't too much to ask," Gra
"What is it?" Laura whispered back to Jason just as Matty coughed slightly to get their attention."Hey guys, I have just about twenty minutes for this meeting; something urgent just came up," Matty said."Oh," Laura replied, casting a glance at Jason."Okay, that's fine, we can work with that," Jason replied, adding, "Laura would give an in-depth report on the analysis, but there is one piece of information I would like to share.""Okay, let's hear it," Matty replied."I just got an update that Steve Anderson has endorsed us as his partnering business in New York," Jason announced."Really?" Laura asked, her eyes widening in surprise. She had not expected Steve to send in the reply so early; he really must be impressed by Jason's project, she thought."Wow, that's great news, I believe. I believe this is the point where Laura wows me away with her analysis," Matty said with a grin.Laura smiled as she replied, "I guess so."They spent the next few minutes going over the report Luara
"Oh my god, what was that?" Lily asked, her eyes widening with fear as Tina and Teressa ran to the room, with Lily following behind them.As soon as they opened the door, the sight that greeted them had their jaws hanging down in surprise. Liam stood at the foot of Lisa's bed and was laughing at her expression while he pointed at her face."What is going on here?" Teressa asked, looking from Lisa to Liam.Lisa had the most frightened look on her face as she stared at Liam, who had rubbed a white substance—god knows what it was—on his face and was making the most ridiculous face at his sister."Liam woke me up to that," Lisa said, pointing at Liam's face."You're such a baby," Liam replied with a grin, his whitened face spreading in horror."Liam, stop that," Lily said from behind Tina and Teressa.Lisa and Liam turned to see her step forward, just as Lisa jumped up and threw a piece of cloth at Liam's face."Ahhh, Lisa!" Liam exclaimed, narrowing his small eyes at his sister."You sho
"Oh, come on, I won't bite them," Lily teased with a smile as they waited for Teressa to respond."Uhm, I think it's a..." Teressa opened her mouth to say, but before she could finish her words, Lisa ran over to her and whispered in her ears.Teressa smiled, looking at Lisa and shaking her head as she looked up at Lily.Lily looked at Lisa's innocent expression and then at Teressa, who had an amused expression on her face too and raised her brow in question."What did she just say?" Lily asked."She says they need to go with you so you won't cry because you miss your daughter like they miss their dad," Teressa replied."Oh my," Tina murmured."Okay, how about we have that food, and then we all go over to my place with you included too, Teressa?" Lily said."Okay, I won't say no to that; well, I was not going to say no in the first place, actually," Teressa replied with a grin."Yeah!" Liam shouted, adding, "I'm going to bring my tab for videos and my favorite socks.""Me too," Lisa re
