Jane’s POVMr. Bryan's smile widened, and he nodded. "Yes, Jane, you got the job."Relief and joy surged through me, and I couldn't help but break into a grin. It was a moment I had been waiting for, a chance to pursue my passion and create a better future for my children.I couldn't contain my excitement as Mr. Bryan confirmed that I had indeed secured the job at the art gallery. My heart danced with joy, and I couldn't help but express my gratitude."Thank you so much, Mr. Bryan," I exclaimed, my eyes sparkling with happiness. “I couldn't have done this without you sir.” she continued.He smiled warmly with his eyes filled with pride. "It's my pleasure, Jane. You've earned this opportunity."I was still riding the wave of happiness when Mr. Bryan surprised me by reaching into a small refrigerator he had in his office. He pulled out a bottle of champagne, and my eyes widened in surprise."There's no need for you to pour me some champagne," I protested, not
Jane’s POVAfter much contemplation, I decided to embrace the opportunity for a night out with Sarah. It was a rare chance to let loose, have fun, and momentarily set aside the responsibilities of motherhood. I could already envision the laughter, dancing, and shared memories that awaited us.When Sarah returned to the room, I smiled and said, "I'm in!."Sarah's face lit up with joy, and she let out a jubilant cheer. "Yes! We're going to have the best time tonight!"Her enthusiasm was infectious, and I couldn't help but share in her excitement. The prospect of a carefree night out with friends was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.Sarah grabbed my hand and started dancing around the room once more, her energy and excitement obvious. "We're going to get drunk tonight, Jane! It's going to be epic!"As we danced and laughed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within me. I was ready to embrace the adventure that awaited us, all while cher
Jane’s Pov"Of course, Mr. Bryan. I'll be there shortly," I replied, my mind racing with curiosity and a tinge of anxiety. What could be so urgent that he needed to speak with me on a weekend morning?I hastily got dressed, my mind swirling with thoughts about the unexpected call. Did it have anything to do with my new job? Or was it something entirely unrelated, a new challenge or responsibility at my current workplace? The possibilities played out in my mind like scenes from an unpredictable movie.I hastily got dressed and left to go to the office without telling anybody.As I entered Mr. Bryan's office, he greeted me with a warm smile that did little to ease my apprehension. "Jane, please have a seat," he said, gesturing to a chair across his desk.I complied, my eyes meeting his expectant gaze. "What did you want to talk to me about, Mr. Bryan?" I asked, my voice steady despite the fluttering nerves in my stomach.Mr. Bryan leaned forward, his expressi
JANE’S POV.I stood in front of Mr. Bryan as I rubbed my palms together. I was really nervous, with so many unanswered questions running through my mind as I anticipated his reply. Will he revoke my new employment letter? Is he upset or disappointed in me? It was as if Mr. Bryan could see through me. He smiled lightly as he finally looked up at me.It is evident that Mr. Bryan is a man of few words. He doesn't talk much and that is what I liked about him: his calmness. That is my kind of man. I like my men calm and gentle but of course I haven't been interested in men lately so I quickly snapped out of my world of thoughts.“Do not worry yourself too much about it, Jane; it is not a requirement for you to resume your new job on Monday; I only wanted you to help me get someone who is as competent as you are."I'm still looking, sir; I will let you know if I find someone. “I will really appreciate that, Jane. Come, have a seat; don't just stand there. I took my seat but I avoided eye
JANE’S POV.“He is my boss. Sarah, I cannot go out with him. Sarah interrupted me before I could finish my statement. And possibly come up with an excuse, and I hate that sometimes she knows me too well. “Point of correction Jane, Ex boss. You no longer work for this person; you'll resume at the art gallery on Monday, so don't think too much about it.“But I'm scared. Sarah, I've not gone on any dates for years. I've not looked at any men since I got pregnant with my kids. I honestly don't know how to feel about this. I don't even know how to face Mr. Bryan when we go out together. How can I even converse with him casually? You know I'm already accustomed to his seriousness. “Mr. Bryan is a good and humble man, Jane; with all the billions he has, he is still gentle and down to earth. If I were not married, I would have seduced him and gotten married to him. Maybe by now, I will be shaking my ass in his penthouse in Paris. Sarah made an attempt to shake her ass but it was her big st
JANE’S POV“We finally got to the restaurant and Bryan held my hand as we made our way to the rooftop. It was a fresh feeling. I cannot remember the feeling that comes with date night; it has been ages. The elevator took us to the rooftop and as soon as the elevator opened, I was left in awe. The whole place was decorated with rose flowers. Bryan pulled out the seat for me to sit on before he took his. “This is so beautiful, sir. I love the arrangement.“Sir?? Do you still want to call me that? Bryan gave me a look as he poured me a glass of champagne. “Why are we the only ones here? “I booked the whole space for us, Jane; I wanted us to have some peace and quiet. Don't you like it?“I love it, but you didn't have it, sir. Sorry, Bryan. But you have to give me time to adjust; you know this is still new to me. A few days ago, you were my boss at the office and now I am here drinking champagne with you on this beautiful rooftop. “Take all the time you need, J
JANE’S POVI wish the car could go faster but Bryan was already driving at 100 miles per hour and I wouldn't want him to get pulled over by the police. I was looking outside the window all through the ride as I wished I had a superpower—maybe something like a flash—so I could be with Sarah and hold her hands. "Jane, she is going to be fine. Sarah is a strong woman. Do not worry too much about it.“I know Bryan; Sarah is always trying to make sure everyone around her is doing okay; she likes to be there for everyone through difficult times. Even though she tries to hide it most of the time, I can still see through her. I see the fear in her eyes—the fear of the unknown. She is scared of motherhood; she fears she will fail.But she is the total opposite of what she thinks of herself; I see the way she looks after my kids and the love and compassion she shows them. I know she will do well raising her kids.“I would have been the proud father of a seven-year-old by
JANE’S POV “Are you alright, Jane? You were talking to yourself.Bryan caught me when I was thinking out loud about Jaxson. Jaxson always has a way of putting me in a tight position. “I’m alright, Bryan, but I just feel a light headache. I wasn't actually feeling any headache as of the time Bryan asked but the moment I said it, my head started banging badly.“Oh dear! Should I ask the nurse to get you something for your head? Come, sit. You are worrying too much. I already ordered you chicken soup and fresh apple juice to help you calm your nerves; the delivery guy will be here shortly.“Wow! Thank you, Bryan. You’ve done enough for me already, but you do not have to stay here with me all night; you can leave whenever you want to.“Nonsense, I will be here with you, Jane. You need someone to be by your side. Besides, if I leave you here and go home, I won't even be at peace; I will worry too much. We sat for a while as I watched Bryan rub my arms in an attempt to keep
