Stephen stormed into Jayden’s charging room, the booth was still closed which meant Jayden was still in,side.

Kelvin greeted him with a bow, which he returned with a small nod..he pulled out a chair and sat down..though he was a few safe distance away from the charging booth like Kelvin was.

Stephen’s chest was rising up and down, he’s fuming in great anger, the heat of his anger was making Kelvin shift on his feet uncomfortably.

“I’ll never forget what she did to me! $6500 just for a cup of cappuccino?!” He grumbled under his breath.

He was tapping his foot on the floor to demonstrate the state of his anger.

His brows furrowed even more as his mind flashed back to the incident back at Veronica’s cafe, he scoffed and balled his fist.

Not up to five minutes, he heard the automated system reported.

Charging completed, battery fully charged!

The charging booth opened and Jayden stepped out, he rushed towards Jayden immediately and held him (Jayden) back to the chair he was just sitting.

“What happened? Why do you look so pale?” Stephen asked.

“Nothing, Cassandra mistakenly hit my chest and I had a relapse” Jayden answered.

Stephen glared at him, he reached for his medical kit which he had dropped at the foot of the chair earlier…he pulled out his stethoscope.

“I don’t think having that girl as your PA is a good idea, you should fire”

“She’s good, she didn’t know about my injury, so I can’t really blame her” Jayden said.

Stephen wore his stethoscope around his neck, reached for Jayden’s hand and took his pulse, after some time, he decided to check Jayden’s heartbeat.

“You’re lucky you came back to recharge your heart in time, or you would have just shut down and only God knows if that would have been forever shut down”

Jayden laughed at Stephen’s words, he studied Stephen’s expression and realized he’s angry.

“You’re transferring your aggression to me, that’s why you’re cursing me”

“I’m not cursing you,I’m just trying to save your a*s by telling you the truth”

“Oh? What truth exactly?” Jayden asked.

“Fire that girl” Stephen replied simply.

He kept his stethoscope back in the medical kit and pushed it aside.

“I’ll just leave this one here, in case of emergencies like this…cause I have a feeling there are gonna quite a lot of emergencies real soon” he said.

Jayden ignored his words, he collected his jacket from Kelvin and quickly wore it, then headed out of the room… Stephen and Kelvin followed immediately.

“Jay, are you gonna fire her?” Stephen asked.

“Why?” Jayden asked him back.

“Because it’s gonna give me a great joy if you do, I’ll forever be grateful to you”

Jayden smirked.

“Well, I can fire her, but you haven’t given me a solid reason as to why you’re ordering me to fire my PA”

Stephen quickly rushed in front of Jayden, spread out his arms and stopped him, he looked at Jayden’s eyes.

“Believe me on this one, she and her friend are no saints, they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing!” he snapped.

Jayden chuckled lightly, judging from Stephen’s utterances, he knew something must have transpired between Stephen and Cassandra’s friend.

“Why do I feel like you’re picking on my PA” he said.

“Of course I’m picking on her, she should pay for her friend’s sin”

His words only made Jayden break a smile, they arrived at the staircase leading to the living room..they took it.

“Why would she pay for her friend’s sin? What happened? What did her friend do to you?” Jayden asked, buttoning his jacket as they took the stairs.

“You won’t believe it, I stumbled upon a cafe, I didn’t know her friend is the boss there… immediately she knew who I am, she charged me $6500 for just a cup of cappuccino!”

“Oh”

“Yeah, isn’t that crazy?!”

Jayden nodded, they stepped into the living room and approached different sofas.. Jayden sat on a sofa directly opposite the TV.

Kelvin reached for the remote control and turned on the TV, while Jayden reached for a magazine and flipped to a random page.

“That’s so crazy, right?”

“Yeah, it’s crazy, but I don’t see how my PA is involved in this…she wasn’t there when you both did business together” Jayden said.

Stephen narrowed his eyes, he balled his fist as he already had a hint what Jayden wanna say.

“So…what are you insinuating?”

“I’m sorry, your Excellency, I can’t fire my PA!”

“What?!” Stephen exclaimed loudly. “Are you just gonna let her off the hook?!”

Jayden raised his head, he stared directly in Stephen’s wΒ‘dened eyes and grinned.

“I’m not letting her off the hook, because the hook did caught her in the first place” he said.

Stephen’s jaws dropped, he stared at Jayden unbelievably.. like he was actually expecting Jayden to take his side, but right now, reversed is the case.

“Steve, settle whatever sh*t went down between you two among yourself, and don’t involve MY PA” he said.

He emphasized on the word *my PA* with a hint of possessiveness, as if he’s trying to pass a message, Stephen clapped his hands a few times.

“Woah! Woah!” he exclaimed. “It’s true, when there’s a hoe, it suddenly becomes hoes before bros” he said.

Jayden simply shrugged and faced his magazine, Stephen wanted to say something but Jayden’s ringtone cut him off.

“Mr Grassi, it’s your aunt” Kelvin reported.

Jayden gro-ned, he threw his head back on the sofa and grumbled a few words under his breath coherently.

Stephen couldn’t help but crack up at Jayden’s expression, Jayden sent him a look which shut him up immediately.

“Your aunt is calling you, aren’t you gonna pick up?” He asked teasingly.

“She’s your girlfriend, how about you talk to her instead” Jayden joked, with a tight smile.

“No, please. Don’t let your uncle hear you calling me her boyfriend, he won’t mind killing me.. the men in Grassi family tend to be very possessive, I’m too young and handsome to die” Stephen said.

The phone was still ringing, as if it’s not gonna stop unless Jayden picks up.

“Mr Grassi, are you gonna take the call?” Kelvin asked.

“I’ll take it” Jayden replied and collected the phone.

He know what his aunt’s gonna do to him if he ignores her call, he quickly swiped right.

“Good morning, aunt” he said into the phone.

“Oh my baby boy! I have good news for you” she said, sounding happy.

“I think I could really use some good news right now”

“Yeah, your uncle is coming back tomorrow, we’ll be org-nizing a small welcome party for him”

“Hm” Jayden nodded.

He could imagine his aunt’s expression right now, after all, her husband is coming home after eight months.

“Right Merry told me how your date went”

Jayden frowned.

“Date?”

“Mm-mmm, you took her for a walk in the garden last time, have you forgotten?”

Realization dawned on him, he rolled his eyeballs and cleared his throat.

“Aunt, that wasn’t a date, we didn’t even talk much to each other”

“I don’t care what you think, it’s a date to me” she said in a firm tone.

Jayden sighed and stayed silent, he didn’t wanna push this argument any further, he simply let his aunt think whatever she wanna think.

“Merry is coming for the party tomorrow”

“Uh”

“What’s uh? Why are you uh-ing?” she asked him.

“Nothing, it’s just not my business wether she comes or not”

“Of course it’s your business, she’s gonna be your fiancee soon.. I’m gonna discuss this with her mother tomorrow”

Jayden’s eyes grew wide, he couldn’t believe what his ears are hearing, and from his aunt’s seriousness, he’s certain she’s gonna do it.

“Aren’t you happy? Merry is a very good girl and she’s gonna be your wife soon”

“Aunt, it’s too early to discuss marriage with her family… ”

Stephen stared at him with his eyes wΒ‘dened in shock, he mouthed *marriage?*.

His l-ips quirked up in a smile, like he’s gonna burst into laughter any time soon.. though he’s doing a good job holding it back.

He exchanged looks with Kelvin, Kelvin was also holding himself back from bursting into laughter…the look on Jayden’s face at the mentioned of marriage, was just so hilarious.

“It’s not too early, Merry is a very nice girl and I don’t see any reason we should hold back” Jayden’s aunt said.

“There’s a reason to hold back, aunt”

“What reason?” she asked. “And boy don’t tell me you’re scared of dying and leaving her behind to become a widow, that’s so last season.. I’m not buying that” she said.

“I don’t like her, she’s not my spec” he told her.

His aunt scoffed loudly.

“At this your age you don’t need a spec, you need someone who’s ready to finish the race you’ve started with you”

“But, aunt, she’s not that someone”

“I don’t care, you’re coming to the party tomorrow or I’ll come to your office next tomorrow and create a scene!”

“Aunt, I’m seeing some…. ” his aunt ended the call before he could finish his words.

He pulled his phone away from his ear and stared blankly at it, he knew he couldn’t avoid Merry, but he didn’t know he’d be meeting her so soon.

“Your aunt is setting up a blind date for you again?” Stephen asked.

“It’s not a blind date, I’ve seen her before”

“Oh? What’s her name? Is she pretty?”

Jayden tossed his phone on the table, opened his palm in front of Kelvin and he (Kelvin) quickly handed him a glass of water.. which Jayden downed in seconds.

“Her name’s Merry, she’s beautiful but talks too much” he said.

Stephen shuddered at the mentioned of the name, he puffed out some air.

“Kind advise bro, don’t get tangled with that girl, I’ve had a bad experience with a Merry some time ago”

Stephen’s words just made Jayden recalled something, he lifted himself off the sofa slightly and leaned closer to Stephen.

“Are you that poor, dirty, sweaty boy she told me about?”

“What? We’re…” Stephen paused. “.. we’re talking about the same Merry?” he asked.

“Yep!”

Stephen tensed, he paled instantly and his palms started sweating immediately.. he shifted on his chair uncomfortably.

“She told me you were pestering her all the time, but she turned you down publicly”

“Yeah”

Jayden chuckled lightly.

“Who would have thought the almighty, most handsome Stephen would be publicly turned down.. what a shocker!”

“Yeah, it’s surprising, I wasn’t so popular among the girls back then and the only girl I liked hated me.. but I wasn’t a poor boy, I was just pretending to be one”

“Why would you pretend?” Jayden asked.

Stephen shrugged.

“My dad’s very rich, which you know of and he’s got companies he wanted me to inherit.. so, I didn’t wanna inherit his companies, hence, I was dressing so rough… I thought that would make him change his mind, but unfortunately, his mind remained unchanged until now”

Jayden sighed deeply.

“I wanted to tease you, but I guess I’ll save it for later” he said.

Stephen scoffed.

“Right, I can help you avoid marrying her, she’s such a bit*h”

“How are you planning to do it?”

“Don’t worry about that, honey, we’ll just give her a taste of her own medicine!” Stephen said with a smirk.

Even though Jayden doesn’t know what Stephen meant, he nodded his head because he trusts whatever plan Stephen has up his sleeves.

“Alright, I should go back to the office”

“Nope! You’re not gonna go back to that office right now, you need one hour nap to help your heartbeat calm down”

“Yeah, I know that, I can nap at the office” Jayden said.

Stephen sighed, he knew he can’t persuade Jayden.

“I knew you’re gonna argue about going to the office, so forgive me for my next action”

“What.. argggh!” He gasped loudly and threw a glare at Stephen.

Stephen ignored him and focused on what he’s doing, he carefully pulled out the needle when he’s done.

“Now you’re gonna sleep like a baby” he said.

“You’re so dead when I wake up” Jayden gritted out.

“Hmm, 1..”

Jayden’s vision started blurring, he was slowly falling back on the sofa.

“.. 2.. 3.. and he’s out!” Stephen said as Jayden fell back on the sofa, soft snore leaving his mouth.

He turned to Kelvin.

“Get a blanket and cover him, I’ll go get Ms Martha to prepare something for me to eat.. I’m starving” with that Stephen headed towards the kitchen.

*Grrrrrrh!*

*Grrrrrrh!*

*Grrrrrrh!*

The annoying sound of my ringtone woke me up, I sat up and looked around.. I wasn’t in my room.

I took a second look and gasped when I realized I’m still at work, how did I ended up falling asleep? wasn’t I just sitting here and slowly wolfing down these fruits?

My eyes looked down at the fruits plate, only to find it empty…why won’t I fall asleep after heaping all those fruits in my stomach?

Wait! Is Jayden back yet? Did he saw me sleeping? Is he gonna fire me for being lazy?

My eyes quickly moved to Jayden’s desk, I sighed when I realized he’s not back yet.. which means I’m safe.

Taking a look around again, I smiled in satisfaction and felt proud of my work.. I’m done arranging the files alphabetically, I also decorated my table.

My phone was still ringing, I reached for it and saw an unknown number glaring at me.

“Hello?” I answered the call.

“Baby, it’s Jayden”

“Jayden?” I asked in a surprise tone, how did he get my number?

“I got your number from your CV” he said as if he heard my unasked question.

“Oh”

“I’m sorry I didn’t come back to the office, something came up and I couldn’t leave… it’s already 5pm, you can head home now”

“5pm?”

“Hm” he hummed in response.

My eyes quickly located the big wall clock in the office, a very loud gasp left my mouth as I stared at it in horror.

I slept for six hours?! How did I sleep for so long?!

“I have to go now, there are other things I have to do, I’ll see you at the office tomorrow”

“Oh, ok”

“Dream about me tonight” he said.

“Of course” I blurted out and blushed in embarrassment.

“Alright, take care and stay safe”

“You too” I said and hanged up.

A yawn left my mouth immediately I ended the call, it seemed as though I still needed to sleep more.

“Well, I better head over to vero’s cafe since I’m off work now” I said.

I quickly gathered my stuffs and headed out.

I wanted to inform Brad that I’m off work, but decided against it, it’s not necessary.

Today was wasted, I didn’t do any proper job..well, at least I got a well deserved rest.
