What did dinner say to Aryan? "I'm feeling stuffed, I should take my leave!"
"What do you mean?" Aryan asked Maya, his mind racing to understand her words. "I mean I can't go to dinner with you. Remember when I mentioned that my day wasn't planned yet? Well, it is now. I'm truly sorry," Maya explained. Aryan felt a pang of disappointment; he had meticulously planned the evening, even making reservations at his favorite restaurant. "I understand. Just let me know when you're ready to make it up to me," Aryan said, mustering a smile despite his disappointment. Maya continued to apologize, expressing her regret. Aryan let out a sigh. "Like I said, let's focus on getting you under those bright lights. It's Saturday, remember?" he redirected Maya's attention to the task at hand. Maya followed Aryan's lead, and the photo shoot began. To her surprise, it didn't take long for her session to wrap up, not even two hours. "Wait, that's it? For the day?" Maya asked Aryan, who had just shouted, "It's a wrap!" moments ago. "Yes, that's it. And today is..." Aryan pause
As they waited for Mr. James to finish up his work, Maya turned to Elena and whispered, "You know, Elena, I brought you along for another reason too. I thought having a beautiful and charming colleague like you by my side would make Mr. James more inclined to agree." Elena's eyes widened in realization, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "So, I was your secret weapon to charm the CEO, huh?" Maya grinned mischievously. "Well, let's just say you added an extra touch of charm to the whole situation. But hey, don't worry, I promise I won't steal your crush away from you." Elena laughed, feeling relieved. "Thanks, Maya. I appreciate the honesty. Let's see how this little adventure unfolds then!" As Lily made her way back home after the coffee, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She kept glancing at her phone, eagerly waiting for the text from Maya. Every passing moment felt like an eternity, and her mind was filled with endless possibilities of what Maya's mischievous p
Mr. James' question hit Maya like a sledgehammer, causing her to stutter as she tried to come up with an excuse. "Oh, yeah. This is Lily. What are you doing here? I thought you were busy at work?" Maya redirected the question towards Lily, hoping to shift the focus away from herself. Lily didn't have a convincing lie to tell, as she had simply followed Maya's instructions. Now Maya was putting the spotlight on her. "Well... I guess work wasn't as busy as I expected. I actually finished up a few moments ago and decided to hang out here. That's what I was about to do," Lily explained, gesturing towards her meal. "Well... we'll see. I hope we're included in that meal?" Maya playfully asked, attempting to steer the conversation away from the topic of a thief. "So... Lily, right? Why were you hiding and not coming out when we called?" Mr. James inquired. Lily froze, realizing she was running out of excuses. Maya, noticing Lily's predicament, jumped in to assist. "Who wouldn't hide? I
"Who's at the door?!" Maya called out, her voice echoing from the bathroom where she had been taking a bath. Lily hesitated, unsure of how to respond. She hadn't met Mr. Tony before, but she knew he wasn't the same person who had left just moments ago. "I'm not entirely sure, but I think it might be the other billionaire twin!" Lily replied, her voice filled with uncertainty. Upon hearing this, Maya's heart raced with disbelief. "What?! How did he manage to find me here?" Maya thought to herself, swiftly exiting the bathroom in a state of shock. She hastily grabbed the first dress she could find and made her way towards Lily. "If it's really him, I'm definitely calling the police!" Maya declared, her mind filled with apprehension. Maya joined Lily in front of the video doorbell, staring at the screen in disbelief. "How did he even discover my home address?" Maya wondered aloud, her fingers hovering over her phone as she prepared to dial the authorities. However, Lily intervened be
The next day, as the sun began to set, Maya anxiously waited outside her apartment for Mr. James to pick her up. She couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The thought of visiting his billionaire mansion for dinner was both thrilling and intimidating. Finally, a sleek black car pulled up in front of Maya, and Mr. James stepped out, dressed in a sharp suit. Maya's breath caught in her throat as she took in his impeccable appearance. "Good evening, Maya," Mr. James greeted her with a warm smile. "You look stunning tonight." Maya blushed and returned the compliment. "Thank you, Mr. James. You look quite dashing yourself." As they made their way towards the car, Maya couldn't help but admire the luxurious vehicle. "Wow, this car is something else! It's like a mobile palace on wheels." Mr. James chuckled. "Yes, it's quite extravagant, isn't it? But wait until you see the real palace." Maya's eyes widened with anticipation. "You mean your mansion? I can't even imag
The next day, Monday, Maya arrived at work with a spring in her step. As she entered the modeling hall, she was sighted by Elena. "Hey! Elena Davis, good morning!" She exclaimed with a grin. "Good morning, Maya. How was your weekend?" she asked, starting the conversation with a friendly tone. "It was fine. You know, I had dinner with the boss yesterday," Maya vented, expressing her mixed feelings. Elena squealed with joy, her eyes filled with genuine happiness for Maya. "Girl, that's amazing news, Maya!" As they continued chatting, Aryan joined them with a warm smile. "Good morning, ladies. I heard some exciting news. Maya, congratulations on the promotion/marketing job offer. I heard the boss' brother offered it to you. I guess we will both be working double shifts now." He jested. Maya beamed with gratitude. "Thank you, Aryan. But how did you know about the job offer?" She asked, curious about the source of the information. "Oh... well, Tony's P.A., John, is a close friend of
James grinned mischievously. "You guys have already met? Well, that certainly makes things easier. Allow me to introduce you properly then. Maya, this is Aunt Loretta. Aunt Loretta, meet Maya, one of our finest models as you already know her to be. But apart from that, she's also my friend." "Friends, huh? not bad!" Aunt Loretta exclaimed smiling. Maya's jaw dropped in disbelief. Her mind raced to process the connection between the charming woman she had been conversing with and James' Aunt Loretta. How could she have missed this? The pieces of the puzzle started to fit together, and Maya couldn't help but feel a mixture of surprise, excitement, and curiosity. As Maya and Aunt Loretta locked eyes, there was an unspoken understanding between them. Maya sensed a warmth and genuine affection emanating from Aunt Loretta, despite the negative description the twins had shared with her. It was as if the stories Maya had heard did not align with the woman standing before her. "Well, since
Laughter filled the air as Maya, Lily, Aunt Loretta, Mr. James, and Tony settled around the beautifully set dining table. The room was adorned with elegance, and the atmosphere was vibrant with anticipation. Aunt Loretta, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, turned to Maya and asked, "So, Maya, how did you end up meeting these Makin brothers and becoming friends with them?" Maya couldn't help but chuckle at the question. "Well, it was rough and crazy, I must say." James and Tony quickly chimed in simultaneously, "It was indeed rough and crazy!" They exclaimed. Maya chuckled and continued. "But it all started when I was in need of a job to pay the bills. Lily here told me about Tony's company, the M.T boutique. I thought, 'Why not give it a shot?' So, I applied online for a job offer, but they kept rejecting my application." Tony interjected with a playful grin, "Yeah, we thought we could keep her away, but she was persistent!" Maya laughed and continued, "Oh, I wasn't going to
Days later, Tony was ready to embark on his planned journey. Maya and the others gathered at the billionaire mansion to bid him farewell. "You know, I could come with you, right?" Lily teased Tony playfully. Tony chuckled warmly. He hugged each of them goodbye before getting into his car to set off. Maya stood there, waving at him, tears glittering in her eyes as she watched him drive away. "Why didn't he use his private jet? Why is he taking a public one instead?" Lily asked Aunt Loretta and James curiously. "Tony owns the airport, and does have a private plane, but he means business. He figured that instead of traveling alone and losing money, why not take other people along and make money, since they're all going the same way," James explained, Lily nodded, admiring Tony's business-minded thinking. At the airport, Tony was waiting for his flight, it seemed he had arrived thirty minutes earlier than the scheduled departure time. He decided to find a seat and relax while waitin
Tony and Maya shared a meal at the restaurant, and Tony recap what he had said back at the company. He told Maya that he wouldn't make any attempts to kiss her first, but he would always be there for her, waiting on the sidelines whenever she needed him. Maya appreciated Tony's understanding and honesty, but she also knew that she needed to focus on her relationship with James. To lighten the mood, Tony decided to make a joke about their first encounter when Maya called him the head of security. They both laughed, and the tension between them seemed to ease. As James watched from a distance, he didn't see anything suspicious between Tony and Maya, so he decided to leave and go about his own business. Immediately James left, Tony and Maya walked out from the restaurant. As they stood outside the restaurant, Maya asked Tony when he would be leaving for the United Kingdom. Tony replied that once his visa was ready, he would be leaving. Maya hid her true emotions upon hearing his repl
Maya's instinct was to walk away, to avoid any conversations that could lead to more complicated feelings. She didn't want to put herself in a vulnerable position again, especially now that she was in a relationship with James.Tony, determined to speak with her, took a step closer. "Maya," he called out softly, hoping to catch her attention.Maya's heart pounded as Tony held her shoulder, preventing her from escaping their conversation. She felt a mix of anger, confusion, and longing as she looked at him. "What! What! What!" she exclaimed faintly, trying to mask the emotions bubbling within her.Tony took a deep breath, his eyes searching hers for any sign of understanding. "I want to talk to you, Maya," he said softly. "About everything—the kiss, our friendship, and my plans to travel to the United Kingdom for a few months."Maya knew she couldn't run away from this conversation forever, but she was afraid of the emotions it would stir up. She wanted to understand where they stood b
After Maya was gone, Elena turned around, and her heart skipped a beat as her gaze locked on her longtime crush, Thomas Aryan. Aryan, the charming and enigmatic colleague, approached Elena with curiosity evident in his voice. He inquired if the melodic voice he heard earlier belonged to Maya. Elena confirmed that it was indeed Maya's voice, causing a mixture of surprise and delight to wash over Aryan's features. "Didn't she quit?" Aryan asked, genuinely puzzled about Maya's return. Elena explained that Maya had indeed left but had now come back to the company. A spark of happiness and excitement flickered in Aryan's eyes at the prospect of seeing Maya once again. Elena and Aryan exchanged a mysterious grin, knowing that they shared a secret attraction towards one another. However, they went their separate ways, heading to their respective departments, leaving the unspoken feelings hanging in the air. As Maya entered James's office, he wasted no time and locked the door behind her. T
Lily's eyes widened in shock as she absorbed the news of Tony and Maya's kiss. She bombarded Maya with questions, eager to understand the details of when, where, and how it all had happened.Maya, still overwhelmed by the situation, explained that it had been a moment of weakness, a connection that they had both felt in that particular moment. Lily's curiosity grew, and she pressed further, asking who had initiated the kiss. Maya's heart skipped a beat, torn between honesty and hesitation. Eventually, she confessed that Tony had kissed her first, and for a brief moment, she had kissed him back.The admission hung in the air between them, the weight of their feelings and the complexity of their relationships becoming increasingly apparent. Maya didn't respond verbally to Lily's question, but her eyes betrayed the truth, confirming the brief reciprocation.Lily, although not entirely surprised by the revelation, recognized the depth of the emotions involved. She understood that Tony and
James's heart leaped with joy as he saw Maya standing unharmed in the hospital room. Without a second thought, he rushed towards her, enveloping her in a tight embrace. "Maya, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.Maya, taken aback by the sudden rush of emotions, smiled and reassured James, "I'm fine, James. I didn't get into an accident. I actually helped a lady who was involved in the accident."Relief washed over James, Aunt Loretta, and Lily as they realized that Maya was safe and sound. Confusion filled Maya's eyes as she questioned how they knew she was at the hospital. Lily chimed in, explaining that they received a call from her phone, informing them about the accident. Aunt Loretta spoke up, her voice brimming with gratitude, "We were worried when we got the call, but we're just so glad to see you here, Maya."The three of them surrounded Maya, pulling her into a tight group hug, their emotions merging into one. In that moment, their bond
James, Aunt Loretta, and Lily rushed to the hospital in Aunt Loretta's car, their hearts heavy with worry. The journey felt endless as they navigated through traffic, their minds filled with thoughts of Maya and the accident that had befallen her. During the tense drive, Aunt Loretta suggested calling Tony to inform him about the situation. Lily grabbed her phone and attempted to reach Tony, only to be met with disappointment as his contact remained switched off. The inability to reach Tony only heightened their concerns and left them with more questions than answers. Finally, they arrived at the hospital, rushing to the reception desk to inquire about any women who had been admitted following a car accident. The receptionist informed them that two women had indeed been admitted, but their names were yet to be verified. She kindly provided James with the room numbers associated with the accident victims. Expressing their gratitude, James, Aunt Loretta, and Lily left the reception ar
Maya swiftly approached Tony as his voice echoed through the rooftop, enveloping him in a tight, passionate hug. Tony stood there, his body tensed with confusion, unable to comprehend the intensity of Maya's embrace. The flood of emotions and questions overwhelmed his thoughts. "Why are you hugging me, Maya?" Tony finally managed to utter, his voice tinged with both surprise and curiosity. He couldn't fathom why Maya had come to this place alone, seeking him out. Breaking away from the hug, Maya looked deeply into Tony's eyes, her voice filled with sincerity. "James told me what happened yesterday, Tony. He shared the truth about how you got hurt because you still care about me." Tony's gaze shifted away, his frustration evident. He was angry at James for breaking his promise not to disclose their conversation to Maya. The weight of his secret being exposed weighed heavily upon him. Maya gently held Tony's face, guiding his gaze back to meet hers. "Tony, I want you to know that Jam
As the physician finished attending to Tony's injuries, James and Tony made their way back to the Billionaire mansion. It was already evening, and Maya, Lily, and Aunt Loretta were engaged in a lively conversation upon their return. Maya, indeed kept her promise to James when she said that she will wait for him to return. Joining the conversation, James and Tony added their own witty remarks and shared laughter with the rest of the group. Maya couldn't contain her excitement and hugged James tightly, expressing her love and relief that he was okay. As Maya moved closer to Tony, ready to embrace him in a hug, he instinctively took a step back, creating a small distance between them. He looked at Maya with a forced smile and said, "Ah, Maya, I've been sweating all day. I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my odor." Maya tilted her head, slightly puzzled by Tony's response. She could sense that something was off, but she decided not to press further. "Oh, it's okay, Tony. I u
