All Chapters of Loving Jupiter : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

 My sister gaped at me with her eyes wide open as I finished explaining to her what Juno’s role would be to my current dilemma. She nearly threw the flower vase perching on top of our dining table to my face when I told her that Juno was clueless when she signed the contract.“You manipulative son of a bitch!” She half-screamed, throwing the table napkin on my face. I chuckled on my seat as I dodged the new batch of napkins coming my way.“Hey! Careful with your words, Venus. You’re deliberately calling our a mother a bitch.” I laughingly screamed back at her which thankfully halted her physical aggressiveness. She shot me a glare.“Don’t bring Gaia in this conversation!”I doubled over in laughter. “You’re lucky, Dad isn’t here.”Venus sighed, trying to collect herself together. “Aren’t you worried you might scare her away again? Like the last ti

 I was half-running just to get back quickly in the company building as I don’t want to anger her more. I acted all cocky yesterday with my conversation with Venus because there’s a contract involved. But here I am now, acting like a goddamn puppy who just got scolded by his master.“Fuck!” I cursed angrily after seeing that the private lift isn’t available ASAP for me as it is currently on the sixth floor, heading to the twenty-fifth. Since I don’t have a choice, I took the stairs and run up to the first floor to use the common elevator.Employees were scattered and crowding the hallway, waiting for their turn to use the lift.“Good morning, Sir!” They greeted and I smiled to acknowledge them. I then glanced at the elevator panels and saw that one of the lifts are almost on their way down.“Good morning. Is it okay for me to cut in the line? I’m really in a hurry right now.”

 My mind was flying back to the office next door while I was facing my desktop, forcing myself to focus on the documents that needed my attention that morning. It’s nearly half an hour but I haven’t heard back from the two. Is Venus having a hard time persuading that woman?I nervously chewed on my lower lip. Juno is my only hope at the moment. I couldn’t think of any effective solution anymore. If only Monica agreed to play along with me, it’ll be easier and more believable. Why not, though? Everyone knew that she’s my sister’s best friend. So automatically, everyone would think I’m also close to her…I sighed and grumbled in frustration.The ringing telephone pulled me back from my deep thoughts. I cleared my throat before picking up the call.“Good morning. Who is this?”There was a heavy sigh on the line… and then, it was followed by a short laughter. An offensive

 “Job well done, sister!”Venus and I exchanged a high-five before attacking one another with a massive hug. She’s done so much for me today! I’m so thankful and grateful for her help that I could actually buy her a whole shopping mall if she asks me to.“Gee, stop! You sound a lot like James Charles!” She teases and I pull away from our embrace to glare at her.“Ew! Are you watching his contents?”“Ew, no! I don’t even follow him but his face is all over my feed because of my mutuals. He’s so problematic.”“I agree. So let’s not talk about that fag-” Venus slapped my mouth before I could even finish my sentence. The woman glared back at me.“I’m aware you got a pass to say that slur but let’s not normalize you saying that, please…”“Why not?” I chuckled, playfully rolling my eyes at her as

 I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I remembered what happened earlier outside. We were all seated on the long dining table for dinner but my mind was flying back to Juno’s IG post. That was so adorable! The way she looked flush and embarrassed when I found out her little secret makes my chest swell in a very unexplainable way. What is happening to me?!“I heard these are your favorite, Juno. I especially requested these dishes to a close friend who happened to be a pro in cooking. What do you think? Did you like the way they are cooked?” My father beamed happily at my fake girlfriend who looked so flustered at the warm welcome she received from my family.Juno smiled sheepishly at my dad as she nodded her head. “Thank you! That was so nice of you, Sir. And yes, I loved the food. I was so confused earlier when Jupiter sent me a text asking for a list of my favorite foods.”“Huh?” My father glance
