Cassandra’s pov 🎋🎄

I’m speechlessly staring at him, I’m quite baffled at the secret I just discovered, wait was it even a secret?

I can’t believe he’s already married and with a child, like what the heck?!

“Cassie, are you ok?” he asked me.

I tilted my head, a confused frown appeared on my face and I blinked.

“You’re truly a family man!”

“Em,,,, you can’t put it that way, I do have a kid but that doesn’t make me a family man”

I scoffed loudly.

“If having a kid doesn’t make you a family man, then I don’t know what does” I said.

My landed on the little girl’s photo again, it made perfect sense, now I know why her eyes were so familiar to me,,,, it’s because she’s got her daddy’s eyes.

“She’s a beautiful girl, I believe her mother would be even more beautiful”

He stood by my side, he folded his hands behind him and stared at the photo with a small smile.

“Yeah, her mother’s a great beauty” he added.

Judging from how rich Jayden was, he wouldn’t fall for some poor girl, he’d definitely fall for a supermodel or actress,,,or even a boss in a big company.

The more I’m thinking about it, the more I could feel my heart pounding. I best leave now, to go nurse my broken heart in a quiet corner.

I cleared my throat.

“Jayden, I think I should be on my way now”

He faced me. “Aren’t you gonna stay for breakfast?”

I laughed and shook my head in disagreement, now that I know he’s married, it’s best I keep my distance.

“No, no, your wife or daughter might see me here and misunderstand the situation, I can’t afford causing arguments for you” I rejected his offer politely.

“They don’t live here, even if they do there wouldn’t be any arguments” he said.

“Yeah, but,,,,”

“You were drunk last night and went to bed without having dinner, do you think you have the strength to walk home?” he asked.

He’s right, I’m feeling a little bit dizzy and lightheaded, even though Ms Martha gave me a hangover soup, I could still feel it at the back of my head.

“I will manage” I told him.

“There’s no managing, I brought you home and I am responsible for you, what should I tell your friends if something is to happen to you?”

“Don’t worry, I,,,,,”

He raised his hand to cut me off, he sat on a nearby sofa and reached for a newspaper on the table.

“You’re staying for breakfast and there’s no argument about it” he faced Ms Martha. “Take her to the guest room, she should freshen up and come down for breakfast”

“Yes, sir” she replied.

She came to my side and nudged me to come with her, but I stood there and glared at Jayden for a moment.

I won’t forgive him if he wife barges in and see me having breakfast with him, because she might pour acid on me,,,,angry and jealous wives are unpredictable.

There’s no predicting what they are capable of at that moment, so I don’t wanna be a victim.

“Baby, go with Martha or do you want me to come bath you?” He asked, with a perverted smile.

“No, thanks!” I said through gritted teeth.

I heard Martha sniffled a laugh, but I ignored her and rushed towards the stairs.

Veronica’s pov 🎄🎋

*Ding ding ding!*

A gro-n left my mouth at the sound, but I didn’t get up or even intend to,,,I’m still quite enjoying the sleep.

*Ding ding ding!* it came again.

“Please go away” I grumbled sleepily.

I reached for a pillow and dumped it on my head, covering my ears, snuggled more into my blanket and continued my sweet sleep.

A contented smile appeared on my face, I’m having a wild imagination right now,,,or should I say I’m faking a dream.

In my fake dream, I’m a princess and I live in a big, beautiful castle. It’s my big day, my wedding was fast approaching and I’m to be wedded to a very handsome and rich prince.

All the maids in the castle are running to and fro, getting themselves super busy to make sure the wedding hall was perfect.

I fast forward from that scene to my wedding day, I stood in front of my handsome prince and was getting ready to k-ss him when,,,,,,

“Vero!” My blanket was ripped off me.

I carelessly threw the pillow across the room, sat up and threw a glare at him.

He stood in front of me, with his chest rising and falling in anger. Well, bro, the feeling is mutual.

“What’s your problem!” I yelled at him, but regretted it instantly.

I held my head in my hands, I had too much drinks last night and the after effect is always something else.

“Are you deaf? Didn’t you heard the doorbell ringing?” he questioned me.

“You have a key, don’t you?” I asked him back.

He frowned. “Yeah, but I don’t know if you’re walking around unclad!”

I scoffed at his words, then leaned back and rested my head on the headboard.

“I don’t walk around unclad, because I know I live in this house with a man! Cassie doesn’t also walk around unclad!”

“Whatever, you should have come get the door when you heard the bell”

I grabbed my blanket and pulled it up to my chest, a yawn left my mouth.

“I’m not the only one who didn’t get the door, why aren’t you renting in Cassie’s room too?!”

“I went there but wasn’t in, where did she go so early in the morning?” He asked.

“She’s not there?”

He shook his head.

I frowned, then tried to flash back to last night’s event, last night we were having a drink and our table became too boring for me,,,,I left to join in the fun.

By the time I got back she’s,,,,my eyes grew wide as it all came crashing on my head.

“She left with that man!” I gasped out.

Brad frowned, he gave me a confused yet panicked look.

“Cassie left with a man?!” he growled.

“Yeah, but I don’t think he’s gonna hurt her, his friend,,,,,”

“What do you mean by that? She was drunk and very feeble, he could do anything to her without her putting up a fight!”

He’s right, Cassie can be very lazy and always forgets herself when she’s drunk,,,,I didn’t think of that.

“Are you a fool?! Why did you let her leave with a random man?!”

“He’s not a random man, he’s Jayden, she knows him and,,,,”

“Jayden?” Brad growled lowly, as if he’s bearing a grudge with the name.

“Yes, him”

He closed his eyes, clenched his jaw and balled his fist tightly.

I frowned as I wondered what’s going on with him, yeah, I know he’s got something for Cassie,,, but he shouldn’t be this jealous, they’re not together anyway.

“Give Cassie a call, ask her to come home right away”

“But she’s a grown up woman, she can take care of herself”

“Was that why you let her leave with him?”

I rolled my eyeballs.

“Fine, I’ll give her a call” I said and reached for my phone on the nightstand.

“You’re beautiful” Ms Martha said.

“Yeah, but I guess looks doesn’t matter, I couldn’t get what I want,,,,” I trailed off.

I turned around and check myself out in the mirror, I released a sigh.

“,,,, It’s already an epic fail before I could even take a step, I guess I’m meant to spend my life alone”

Life’s been quite unfair to me, I have lost my parents at a very tender age and had to fed for myself, with no support from my uncles.

Now that I’ve met a man I love, though I was still nurturing the feeling, but I just found out he’s super rich,,,, he’s out of my league!

“Don’t look down on yourself, miss” she said.

“Hm” I hummed.

I reached for my purse on the bed, I searched in,side and smiled when I saw all my things intact. I faced Ms Martha.

“Let’s go down for breakfast”

She nodded and led the way, we were almost close to the staircase, when I remembered I haven’t thanked her yet.

“Ms Martha, thank you for taking care of me, it’s a easy job taking care of me in my drunken state” I told her.

She chuckled lightly.

“That’s true, but I’m not the one who took care of you, Mr Grassi was” she replied.

“Oh”

“Yes, let’s go” she said and continued leading the way.

•••••••••••••••

My eyes roamed the table as a question nagged me, are we having a feast? Or we’re merely having breakfast?

I doubt we could finish all these food, it’s enough to feed a community.

“Let’s eat” Jayden said.

“Just us?” I asked.

“Yeah” he replied.

My eyes roamed the table again, even a community can’t finish this food and besides, seeing too much food like this just made me lost my appetite.

“Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like this food?” He asked.

I shook my head. “Everything here are my favorite, but,,,,” I trailed off.

“But what?” He asked.

“Nothing, let’s eat” I said.

I reached for the spoon in front of me, looked around, wondering where to start from.

Maybe I should start with the shrimps.

While we were eating, a lot of thoughts were going through my mind,,,,like, how come he’s so rich?

And what was he doing at JJ construction? Why did he lied to me about being a candidate at the interview?

I paused eating, and stared at him with a frown, it’s surprising how he’s completely fooled me.

“Right, I just recalled something” he said, he cackled quietly which almost made him choke.

He reached for his phone and typed on it with a smirk, it looked as if he’s trying hærd not to laugh. His behavior is making me curious, as to what he’s trying to do.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“You wouldn’t believe what you did last night, you were so wild” he replied.

Oh no!

“You recorded it?”

“Nope, but you were caught by the CCTV camera”

My cheeks were already heating up in advance of what I’m gonna see, I don’t need anyone to tell me what I must have done.

“Here, watch it”.

He dropped his phone on the table and pushed it towards me, I quickly picked it up and clicked on the play button.

My eyes grew wide, my cheeks flamed up and I could feel it getting redder, as embarrassment swallowed me.

I saw someone who looked exactly like me, cause I’m definitely not gonna agree that’s me,,,,I’m never gonna admit that’s me.

Let’s just call her the other me, she’s dead drunk, she was dancing and singing, pulling my hair and shouting,,,,*I feel hot!* she even tried to take off her blouse, but Jayden rushed towards her and stopped her.

There’s even a scene where I slapped him and started yelling at him, rebuking him for saying his heart’s poor.

“I,,,,I did all these?” I asked.

“Er,,,,I think yeah, it’s pretty obvious that you did” he answered.

I whimpered sadly and embarrassingly, wishing the ground would just open up and swallow the wh0le of me.

The other me began throwing cushions everywhere, she turned Jayden to a horse making him give her a horse ride.

“I wasn’t aware I was doing all these, I’m sorry” I told him quietly.

“It’s fine, even though you stressed me a lot, it was still fun” he replied.

I handed his phone back to him and concentrated on my food, he chuckled at my embarrassment.

We ate in silence, but after a few minutes, I decided to ask him the question that’s being boring me since I found out some info about him.

“How did you become a rich man overnight? Didn’t you told me you were at JJ construction for the interview?” I asked.

He stopped eating and lifted his head, he stared at me for a moment and laughed lightly.

“I never admitted it, you concluded that yourself”

“But you,,,,” I don’t even know what to say at this point.

“You said I came for the interview too, I simply played along, baby” he answered.

“Then what were you doing at JJ construction?” I asked.

He reached for a slice of bread and shoved it in his mouth, the started chewing slowly without answering my question.

I frowned as I stared at him, then something very crazy dawned on me, I banged the table which made him raised his head.

“Don’t tell me you’re the CEO there, I won’t buy that crap!”

He stared at me silently, as if he’s studying me, then he closed his eyes and sighed.

“I am” he answered quietly.

“What?!” I exclaimed loudly.

My frown deepened, I pointed my forefinger at him.

“You,,, you,,, you,,,,” I’m speechless.

“Yesterday I was just having a stroll, because I had a lot going through my head,,,I wanted to take some fresh air” he explained.

My world fell apart, I can’t believe this is happening to me, I’ve only watched about scenes like this in films,,,, I never knew it happens in real life and I never expected it would happen to me.

“You’re really the CEO?”

“Yes, I’m Jayden Jaymes Grassi”

“Wh-what?!”

He’s my boss?!

I have done a lot of embarrassing things in front of him, I slapped him and disturbed his home last night, I even gave him a sleepless night!

Oh my God! I have automatically fired myself! What have I done?!

Why does everything good that wants to happen to me, always end before they could start?!

“Cassie, how do you feel knowing I’m your boss?” He asked with a smirk,,,, is that a teasing smile?

Is he mocking me right now? He’s indirectly laughing at my naivety.

“Is it surprising?” he asked and chuckled.

I nodded, while gritting my teeth.

“Do you think it’s funny?” I asked him back.

“What’s funny?” he laughed.

“Watching me make a fool of myself, do you think it’s funny?”

His smile faltered at once, he drew his brows into a frown.

“I mistook you for a candidate at the interview, but you didn’t bother correcting me. I showed you my vulnerability, you were encouraging me and I thought I’ve made a friend,,,, but unfortunately for me, he’s my boss,,, is it funny?”

“Cassandra,,,,, ”

“I was happy I’ve got a job, I went partying with my friends to celebrate it, only to find out I didn’t even get the job based on my ability,,, is it funny?”

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt my eyes watering, which isn’t me,,,, I don’t cry easily, but why now?

“Cassandra, baby, you’re taking it a little bit too far”

“I’m taking it too far? Really?”

I scoffed, I snatched my purse from the table and got up, I gulped the lump in my throat.

“I’ll come with a resignation letter on Monday, I’m sorry but I had to take it this far”

“It hasn’t gotten to resigning, we haven’t even started working together” he said.

“I’m sorry, but I have to leave” I told him.

He got up, but I didn’t wait to find out what he wanna do before I rushed out.
