As the door opened, Jason jerked back to reality as he felt Tim's hand on his shoulders. "Hmm, oh, sorry about that; I was lost in thought for a minute," Jason apologized. Tim shook his head, aware of what was really distracting Jason. "Okay, so I fully understand what you have stated, and we would schedule a meeting with your management after our design team comes up with the blueprint for the new version." Jason explained it a few minutes later. "That would be most appreciated," the client replied as they got to their feet. Jason shook hands with them, happy to have finished the meeting successfully. "We look forward to hearing from you soon," the client said and left. A few seconds later, the client went out through the door, and Jason could relax his back on the couch he was sitting on. "That went well; we have ourselves a new deal," Jason muttered. "Yeah, it went well, but you were distracted," Tim stated. "Me? Distracted? When? How? You don't know what you're saying, Ti
Tim quietly brought out the content, and it was a ticket to a movie premiere."What is that?" Jason asked."Uhm, it's a ticket," Tim replied."Ticket to where?" Jason asked again."Uhm, it's to a movie premiere," Tim explained."What movie? Who would send me that, knowing fully well that I do not like being in such a crammed space?" Jason muttered aloud.After he thought about it for a while, he picked up his phone and dialed a number."What are you doing?" Tim asked suddenly."I'm calling the only person who I believe would send me such a ticket," Jason replied.The call rang twice before it was picked up on the other end."Hello, I see you've gotten my package," Gift said as she picked up the call."Why would you send it to me?" Jason asked."Is there a reason why I shouldn't send it to you? You're my boyfriend, remember?" Gift replied."I told you no surprises, Gift," Jason said again."There's nothing about this that's a surprise, Jason; it's just a harmless outing," Gift said, al
"I'll get that," Teressa said, and she hurried over to the phone to pick it up.After listening for a few minutes, she replied, "Okay, please send it up.""What is being sent up?" Laura asked as soon as Teressa dropped the call."Uhm, it seems you have a package that was sent for you," Teressa replied."What package? I didn't order anything," Laura said, looking clueless."I guess we will see it when it gets here," Teressa replied."I guess so," Laura muttered, turning to the package she was trying to unveil.When she opened it, a ticket lay inside, and it was for a movie premiere."What is that, mom?" Lisa asked, looking into the package."Uhm, it's for a movie," Laura explained, still trying to understand who could have sent her the ticket."Yeah!" Lisa said, jumping up in excitement."You look happier than I am about this ticket," Laura said drily, raising a brow as she stared at her children.Lisa grinned while Liam raised his hand and shoulders in shrug as he said, "Our wish came
Jason stopped in his tracks, his grin ceasing as he saw the trio laughing before him.Lily looked up and saw him. "Hey, you're finally here. Come, sit with me," she said.Jason walked up to them and smiled at Lily. He kissed her cheeks and sat by her side."Hello, Lily, you look amazing," Jason said as he took his seat."Was it the traffic or did you leave the office late?" Natasha askedJason extended his hand and took his mother's hand as he said, "Hello mom, it was the traffic.""Okay, that's good; you get to keep your money this time around," Lily stated with a wink."Thanks to Tobias here, who decided to keep us company," Natasha said with a smile.Tobias White was silently sipping his drink, watching the cozy relationship between the three."Hi Tobias," Jason said to him."Hello Jason," Tobias replied."I didn't know you were having someone over for dinner too," Jason said, nodding in Tobias's direction."Oh, Tobias just happened to drop by and decided to keep us company for a w
~Ten minutes earlier~Jason dragged himself out of bed, the vibration of his phone piercing his subconsciousness. completely drowsy and wishing he didn't have to leave the bed. He pulled himself toward the table to pick up his phone, which he had left there the night before."F*ck!" Jason cursed as he stumbled towards the table."Who the hell is calling me so early in the day?" He muttered as he picked up the phone.He had only shorts; his perfectly chiseled chest was bare, and his tousled hair fell over his left eye in a simple fashion."You know some people would be grateful they don't have to come to work so early on a weekend," Jason groaned into the phone as he walked barefoot to the kitchen in his living room."Jason, we both know you love it," Tim replied with a chuckle on the other end."What do you want, Tim? It's f**king early on a Saturday morning to be calling me," Jason asked.After pouring himself a glass of water, he headed back to the bedroom.He had left Lily's place
"Who?" Laura asked, wondering who her daughter was pointing at."It's the fine, man!" Lisa said it again.Jason, who stood stunned at the door, found himself smiling at the cute little girl. He was on his way to the family house and was wearing a casual sweat pant and a shirt.""Lisa, come here; let's go," Laura called out, but to her amazement, she ran over to Jason."Hello," Jason said to her."Hi, I like your shirt," Lisa told him."Were you the one who left me some cake a while ago?" Jason askedLisa grinned. "Yes, did you like it?" she asked."Uhm, maybe you should try giving it to me directly next time," Jason told her."Okay, I'll ask Mummy next time," Lisa told him.Laura was livid where she stood. What was going on? She thought. Definitely, Jason had never spoken to her daughter before, so why were they talking like they knew each other?"Your name is Jason North, right?" Lisa asked in her little, cute voice.Jason smiled, looking over her head at Laura with a raised brow. "Ye
"What? Why is everyone looking like a cat got their tongue?" The woman speaking asked the rest of the group.Jason rested his shoulder on the doorpost, gently watching the drama take place before him."Uhm, I think you should..." Rita North tried to say, but the woman cut her off."Oh, don't be silly; you don't need to cover it; you rightly told us how she came to capture..." the woman explained further."You should go!" Rita North shouted, standing up abruptly."Oh, so soon, I was kind of enjoying the conversation; you don't need to stop because of me," Jason said sweetly, walking fully into the kitchen.The woman who had been speaking stood up abruptly, stuttering as she said, "Oh, uhm, Jason, when did you arrive?""It's not long enough to hear the juicy part of your story," Jason replied, smiling so sweetly at her.The woman blushed in embarrassment, ashamed to have been caught."Jason, they were just here to say hi; it's been a while since I came around here considering the fact t
Laura raised her brow, shaking her head at Lisa, who tried to stop Liam from talking."Lisa?" Laura called in a warning voice. She knew her twins were mischievous, but she really hoped what they were trying to hide was no big deal."Liam, Aunt Agnes did what?" Laura asked, urging Liam to continue."It was Aunt Agnes who helped us order the ticket to the movies," Liam confessed, giving his mother the puppy look.Laura looked at them silently for a while as she studied their faces. She knew her kids, and she could tell they were up to something."Mummy, don't say you won't go to the movies, please," Lisa begged."Lisa, Liam, what else are you not telling me?" Laura asked them."Nothing, mummy," Lisa shouted.Laura stretched her hands to them, and they came running into them."If you want me to do something, you should ask me directly next time, okay? Don't disturb Aunt Agnes, who lives so far away," Laura told them as she drew them to her in a hug."Okay, mummy," Lisa said, adding, "Mum
