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
JANE’S POV (TWO DAYS LATER)"Hi, sister-in-law. That was the first thing Sarah said to her baby when she finally carried her.“Sister-in-law? Why do you call her that? I rolled my eyes to the side. I was curious; I wanted to know why Sarah would call her daughter that.“Can you not see the way she looks like her father, Jacob? She wanted to be my sister-in-law so badly so she came out looking like her father. I couldn't hold my laughter any longer; I busted out. “The doctor said we can go home today.“That is great. Did you drive or are you going to get us a cab?“None of the above, Sarah; Bryan is going to drop us off at home, he is on his way here. He would have been here about an hour ago but He ordered you soup. he just went to pick it up since there was no delivery person available. Sarah, Bryan is such a sweet soul. I don't know what I would have done without him. I had to ask him to go home and rest, he was ready to stay here with
JANE’S POV.Bryan dropped us at home and I saw my kid running towards Sarah just so they could have a look at the baby. They didn't even notice me; they fixed their gaze on Daisy as they followed Sarah inside the house. There was an awkward silence between me and Brayan as we watched them enter the house and they faded out of sight slowly. I didn't know what to say to him so we stood beside his car and I bowed my head and pretended to press my phone.“You've really stressed yourself out at the hospital; how are you feeling?“I feel very tired, honestly. I've been running about since she gave birth, and I've not had enough rest.“Your muscles are tired; let me treat you to a spa date. “You've done enough, Bryan; you do not have to do anything else for me. I appreciate everything you have done so far.“I'm not complaining, Jane; you are interesting to be with and I would love to spend more time with you. How does tomorrow sound? I will be really busy at the office tomorr
JANE’S POV.“Calm down, Jane; it's just 7 p.m.; he’ll be here soon.“That is what you told me 30 minutes ago. Sarah, I think he totally forgot about the date.“You know Bryan better, Jane; you've worked with him for a while; you know he doesn't joke with his appointments; I'm sure he has a better explanation for the delay. I was already upset at this point; Bryan hadn't even called me to tell me why he was running late. That is not very nice of him.“Call him and find out why he is delaying. I called him once, but he didn't pick up or return my call. I do not want to look too desperate so I won't call again. I was about to take off my earrings and undress when I heard his car pull up in the driveway.“You see, I told you. He is here now.“Sarah, Jacob said his flight was delayed; have you spoken to him since then? “I've been trying to call him since then, but my call is going to his voicemail. I've been noticing so much inconsistency with Jacob; he said he coul
JANE’S POV The car was silent for a few minutes until we approached a magnificent edifice. My eyes and mouth widened simultaneously. Bryan parked in his driveway and I saw his luxurious cars; there were too many I couldn't keep up counting. After he turned off the engine, he walked to my end and opened the car door for me. He held my hand as we walked into his living room. I was drooling over Jaxson’s mansion a few years ago but it was nothing compared to Bryan’s mansion. Bryan's mansion is way bigger and finer. I was looking around immediately when I got in and it was as if I had left earth. I'm not an architect but I know I can carve out five bedrooms from Bryan’s living room. “Welcome to my humble abode, Jane.“You call these Humble? You must be kidding me, Bryan. “Make yourself comfortable. Jane, I'll have my chef make you dinner. I would have asked him to make something for you when I came back home to freshen up but I was hurrying out and I totally forgo
