I was having a mixed feeling at this point, I desperately wanted to get mad at Victoria but my soul was at peace each time I caught a scent of Jaxson, his aura was everywhere and it was like a burning incense made to appease my soul, Victoria walked in at this point in the middle of my thoughts and she walked past me, he gave me a bad stair as usual but I didn't mind her, I was just focused on my painting, I heard Jaxson telling her to make him dark coffee, he asked her to make Dark coffee without sugar, it was the perfect time to carry out my plan, I left my desk and went to the kitchen before Victoria got there, I heated up water to make my own coffee, Victoria was already in the kitchen at this time she brought out a cup to make Jaxson’s coffee, I took the exact same mug and I added three teaspoon of sugar into my coffee, I exchanged the mugs when Victoria turned to go get tea spoon and saucer for Jaxson’s tea. She took the coffee with Sugar and left the kitchen. She left without
I’m just pissing you off effortlessly. Now think about what will happen if I have your time. I will be out of here. You should be happy that I am not as sassy as you are. You should count yourself lucky. You better get off your high horse. You think Jaxson cannot replace you because you’ve worked with him for over a decade? I can take your job if I want. All I need to do is tell Jaxson about it; it will be very easy. After all, he already thinks I'm better than you. “You better watch your back.“I always do, Victoria, but do you?She walked out and went back into Jaxson’s office. I think she likes it when she talks to me. She always finds a way to start a conversation with me. I suddenly noticed that Mrs. Marilyn hadn't left her office since the last time I saw her. I was starting to wonder why. I stood up and took a walk to her office. I found her sleeping; her head was on the table. I approached her and tapped her, but I felt her temperature; she was having a bad fever.“Oh my G
I froze in shock; I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing; I couldn't believe my eyes; it was like I was dreaming; I couldn't believe Esther was having sex under my roof with my underage children playing outside without any guidance; the worst of it was that she was having sex with the same guy she accused of abusing her. They paused when they saw me; they were both nude; it felt like everything was moving in slow motion; I wasn't the only one who was shocked; they were both shocked to see me, but I knew I had to say something to end the awkward silence, but the problem was that I didn't even know what to say to her. But before I could open my mouth to speak, Esther met me halfway and her voice cancelled mine.“I’m sorry, ma; it is not what you think; he only came here to apologize.“To apologize? And he ended up in between your legs? Esther started to stutter; her boyfriend didn't say a word; he just picked up his clothes from the floor and started dressing.“If you and your guest d
I knew it was going to be a long night because I had something bothering me that was going to keep me awake all night. It was the thought of Esther. For the first time in a long time, I wasn't thinking too much about Jaxson; his thought was still in my heart but the thought of Esther was more. Sarah was right; I shouldn't have asked her to leave my house.The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had been wrong to ask Esther to leave. She was a kind and compassionate person, and she had always been there for me. I felt ashamed of my actions, and I wished I could take them back. She messed up badly but I should have scolded her in another way. I should have done better. I picked up my phone and tried to call her number but it wasn't connecting. It was switched off. I began to worry. I shouldn't have left her in the hands of that abusive boyfriend. What if he decides to hurt her? I was determined to go find her. I had little hope that she might still be around, maybe som
I knew it was time to get serious, as Jaxson had never called me in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what the problem was, I was mute for a while, my eyes were wide open, and I didn't know what to say to him. “Do you want me to do anything for you? Do you need anything?“Calm down Jane, this isn't work related, I called because I needed to talk to someone, I couldn't sleep. I was calm at this point and I spoke slower. I was still trying to be comfortable, I felt like someone would wake me from this dream, but it wasn't a dream, it was a reality.“Sorry about that sir, how can I help? Do you need me to do anything for you?“Not exactly, I just needed to speak to someone, I’ll allow you to sleep, see you at work.The call dropped, and even though I wasn't there with him, I could feel the tension on his part, he was tense too and it was evident in his voice tone. I laid on my bed with my eyes wide open, I was excited to talk to Jaxson but it would cost me the rest of my sleep, I
I smiled back at Esther so she wouldn't feel embarrassed, I headed downstairs to get coffee, I came back to my room with my hot cup of coffee and sat by the chair close to the window, i was watching the view from the window side, I sat there, watching the sun rise over the horizon, It was like the world was waking up, and I was a part of it. I took a sip of my coffee and savored the taste. It was strong and bitter, just the way I liked it. I closed my eyes and let the sun's warmth wash over me. I could feel the hustle and bustle from a distance, the sound of car honks and traffic, it wasn't as peaceful as it was last night but it was awesome. Suddenly, I was struck by a thought. I knew what I wanted to do with my children. I wanted to give them an adventure. I wanted to take them on a journey, to explore the world and all its wonders. I wanted to give them a childhood full of memories that they would cherish for the rest of their lives. I was so excited, I could barely contain mysel
I was happy the pictures came out well; they were so pretty, the morning sun was radiating on my skin, and Esther took the pictures from the perfect angle. I was finally going to upload something to my Facebook page after years of not posting. My Instagram will finally have a new picture. “Thank you so much, Esther; these pictures are so pretty.“You are welcome, ma. Will you upload it to your social media page?“Yes, I will, but you know how much I hate attention. “Well, you are going to get a lot of attention with these pictures.I smiled and got into my car; I was smiling throughout the ride; there was nothing to make me upset; there was no traffic and no one annoying me; I no longer have anxiety about going to work because, since the incident with Jaxson, he has become less annoying; he doesn't give me troubles anymore; but the only person I have to deal with now is Victoria and her lousy attitude. I was always ready for anything, though. I was ready for whatever game she wanted
My whole mood was ruined; the little smile I had on my face vanished into thin air; my mind didn't only skip; it was filled with pain. I wonder why Jaxson was asking to be his guest at his friend’s wedding when he knows me and Bryan have a history together. Was he trying to spite me? Did he do that intentionally to hurt me? I just didn't understand why he would mention that; I wasn't smiling, and my face changed, and Jaxson noticed it.“Did I see anything to upset you? “Excuse me, sir, I would like to go back to work.I walked out of Jaxson and went back to my desk. I plugged my phone in because my battery was low and I went to Mrs. Marilyn’s table to pick up the list of deliveries we had. Jaxson went back to his office and he walked slowly because he knew he had said something that upset me. I picked up the delivery list and arranged the paintings that were going out; the delivery guys were already standing by, waiting for details.I was packaging the paintings but it was too much f
