The more Jason read Christos's journal, the more he was sure that his master did not like his friend’s twin that much. Though there were no outrightly hostile words against Michael from the onset of Christos's journal, it still didn’t take much to deduce the tone with which Christos wrote about him. Just as the admiration and respect he felt for Manuel also show in the way he wrote about him. Jason could feel his heart stir with sentiments about the way Christos write about his parents. He admitted that he once had a crush on the graceful and classy, Belinda. She had started as Manuel’s secretary and Christos had fancied himself in love with her for a while but it soon became apparent that she had her eyes on Manuel. The feeling was mutual but Manuel, who was still struggling to get his company on the right track then seemed to think that he couldn’t offer her anything. Jason had laughed when he read about the part where she had cornered his father one day. Told Christos to excuse th

He ignored the fury on her face as she hit her head against the edge of the window while bringing her head out. He was mildly amused by the way Phils got out of the car guns blazing as he shouted “What was that, man?” then “Oh, ah, it is you, sir?” when he saw that it was Jason. Then he looked at Millicent, who was rubbing at her temple, then back at Jason’s passive face as he said “I…ah, I brought Miss Dimitrios home after we had dinner sir” “I can’t remember asking” Jason answered calmly. “Eh? Oh, that is right, sir. okay, sir. Goodnight, sir. Goodnight, miss” With that he got in his car and hightailed it out of there. Millicent stood looking at him as if she was expecting something. Since he was not about to stand on her sidewalk and gawk all night. He said “What happened to your own car? Why is he driving you home?” She let out a disbelieving scoff “What? Seriously. You are just going to pretend you didn’t just startle us and make me hit my head?” “Why would you be startled

The nerve! She had the nerve to come to his office the following day. Not to talk about business nor to talk about the fact that she was done with the handover and would be leaving the company. Though her one-week notice still had one more day to complete, he couldn’t wait for her to leave. The earlier she left, the better! For his children. Because he couldn’t care less. In fact, she was as good as gone to him. Though his head jerked up from what he was doing immediately he perceived the scent of that distinct perfume of hers. He chalked it up to nothing but pure coincidence. He just happened to look at that moment. Yes, that was it. The hand she raised to tap at the side of the door paused when she saw him look up. She gave him a tremulous smile as she said “Oh, I am sorry. I was just…can I have a minute, please?” Jason raised his brow as he leaned back in his chair. Turned his pen around in his hand before he said “I am busy. Whatever you want to talk about, tell Ana. She will

Millicent struggled to get up immediately, digging her elbow more into his rib. “Oh, goddamnit! Just stay still. Will you?” he gritted out through clenched teeth. “Stay still? Stay still?” She said as she looked up at him. Her eyes were so close to his that he could see himself in them. “I…” She swallowed hard and said “Someone will come in and they will see us like this. Then…” “Then what?” he asked with a sudden grin, trying to mess with her “You might as well start your explanation or I will ask whoever is on the other side, which is likely to be Isabel, to open the door and then they will really see us like this” “How can you…” she stopped and raised her brows. “You are with the key, ain’t you?” “Oh, you think I will only have one key for it? You can call my bluff and find out” he said. He was trying so hard not to notice the way her body moulded to his. The way her heart was still racing fast against his. In fact, the tempo seemed to have increased. He ignored the way her sce

Khan Mal was said to be an oil and leather company, which was under the radar until a few years ago when they started taking over companies. Buying them out or forcing them out of businesses according to Jason’s sources. Khan Mal Corporation was based in Japan but the owner was said to be of Bangladesh descent. Over a few years, they had become a force to reckon with. Jason had heard of the Corporation before but he had only recently paid more attention to them when he heard that they were bidding for the same contracts. So he couldn’t afford much time to think of what his wife-to-be might be thinking when the company have a competitor who was willing to do all it takes to get the contract. That wouldn’t worry him if not for the fact that he had learnt that Khan Mal play to win and they don’t mind getting their hands dirty in the process.Hence the reason why it infuriated him was that he couldn’t concentrate on figures and data as much as he could because he was thinking about his t
