"Dohana?" Jake reacted, completely dumbstruck.
"Donovan?" Lacey said baffled, her eyes repeatedly moving between him and Dohana.
"Jake," Dohana stood up, glancing between the due. 'Hows this possible? They're here on a date? Look how well dressed they both are.'
"Are you two here on a date?" Dohana finally spoke, her eyes much more perplexed than shocked. Her mind raced at the same time. Wasn't Jake here to stop her from her date? Looking at his expression, Luke surely didn't get to him cause he wouldn't be this astonished to see her with Donovan, right?
"Dohana," Jake finally spoke, staring a hole through Donovan. "I'd like to know the damn same thing. Are you and my friend here on a date?"
Lacey still couldn't be
"A double date?" Everyone involved exclaimed."Yeah, why not?" Jake said nonchalantly. "This was all a misunderstanding, right? And we're all friends. So, let's double date."It suddenly became tense again. Lacey was beyond furious, Dohana was startled and Don was nervous.Ring Ring!Jake reached his pockets and whipped out his cellphone. "Luke."Jake winced, "Like, calm down, explain properly. I was having meetings since morning so I couldn't answer my phone. What did you say happened?"At this moment, Dohana's heart almost leaped out of her mouth. 'Luke, that bastard only contacted Jake at this moment? This is bad, this is bad.'Runn
"What?" Dohana trembled, 'move in with Jake? Wouldn't that be a disaster? No, no, no. I must find a way out of this.' Dohana quickly scrambled for her phone and called her mother-in-law. Jean Larson answered the phone as soon as she noticed who was calling. "Dohana, my daughter-" "Mother, I'm in a predicament here. I just got to my apartment and some men are here claiming to escort me to Jake's house. Is it-" Interrupting Dohana, Jean couldn't hide her excitement. "My daughter, you finally came back, do you know we've been looking for you for the past two days. Your father and I have decided that you need to be staying with your husband for the time being, okay." Huh? Dohana was puzzled. Noticing Dohana's none-response, Jean continued, "my daughter, to win my son's heart, you need to be close to him, okay. So pack up and follow those men to his house. I've already made arrangements with Jake." Just as Dohana was trying to process the whole thing, she could hear Samson snatch th
"Grand children!" The couple stared at each other. Jean Larson couldn't contain her amusement and began to giggle while throwing her arms around. "What's wrong with you two? You just can't take a joke!" She said laughing and slumping down on the couche. Jake and Dohana simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. They were still dumbstriken, so how could they have found this funny? Jean composed herself and stared at Jake, "what are you still waiting for? Take your wife's suitcases to her bedroom." "Right," Jake reacted and picked up two of the suitcases, heading to one of the spare bedrooms Jake wasn't using. Jean looked at Dohana, "my daughter, aren't you going to follow him?
At the Blue Sky Marketing building, going over his Kingston Books presentation. He was anxious and hoping to win this account today. After all the accounts he has lost recently, his company desperately needed new business. His PA came in and said, "Mr Larson, we have suffered four more resignations from key marketing staff." "What!" Jake was stupefied. "Yes sir, it's obviously somebody poaching them with higher salaries, I don't know." "What's going on in my company recently? Stacy, find out to which company they are migrating to." "Sir, I tried, they're refusing to say a word." "I see," Jake thought, this must be a conspiracy. How could he suddenly be losing business
"Sir, someone's here to see you, sir." Huh? Jake could hear a voice and he woke up to find out he had dozed off on his office desk. He quickly hid the whisky he quickly picked up from the floor when he noticed his PA in the office. His head buzzed and he hated the feeling. But what else could he do? Whenever Jake experienced overwhelming problems he would drink to soothe his heart. Today, after sending Donald to investigate who the Kingston Books account was awarded to, he had decided to buy some whisky himself and hid it in his jacket as he made his way to the office. Jake looked up and saw Donald standing next to Stacy Griffith. He yawned and sighed, then pointed to a seat for the gentleman. Donald sat down
Jake's face turned ugly immediately. His recent losses had enraged him. And hearing Dohana mockingly calling him, Mr CEO, coupled with her snickering smile- felt like a personal attack. "Please, don't. Don't call me that." Jake warned seriously. Jake composed himself, taking a few breaths and sighed. "We're struggling recently, haven't bagged much business lately." Dohana gave an awkward but sly smile. "I heard, you lost the Kingston Books account to Moonlight Advertising. What a shame." Jake was practicalling boiling with rage at this point, he began to wonder if he should continue with this date. "Dohana, are you gloating at my expense? I thought we came here to talk about this weekend's getway to Hawaii, h
What? Jake was bewildered, he became dizzy instantly. Watching all his ex's wildly. Some he could remember, some he couldn't but they looked familiar. 'Oh my god! What's going on here?' Jake subconsciously stood up, his mouth agape. More than twenty extremely beautiful women surrounded the table and flirtatiously smiled at Jake. Lucia Theron began to clap her hands unhurriedly. "Mr Jake freaking Larson." As Lucia spoke, one of the women lay her hand on Jake's shoulder, forcing him back down to his seat. "Or should I say, Mr Jake 'the womaniser' Larson?" Jake grimaced, quickly realising this was surely the handy work of Luc
Bewilderment appeared on Dohana's face. 'What did this waiter just say? My card declined?' "There must be a mistake," Dohana said facing the waiter, "swipe it again." Jake had a smile on his face as he watched. 'hahaha! Let's see how you make payment now.' The waiter swiped back the card and with a gloomy face, said, "madam, it decli-" "Impossible!" Dohana spoke, raising her voice. Jake's smile widened. 'Tried to embarrass me, we shall see.' A million things went through Dohana's mind. She hadn't even noticed Jake's amusement. 'Whats going on here? How could the account worth millions suddenly declined? Oh damnit! Eversince I op
