As the kiss broke and George stood there, anger pulsating through his veins, the room transformed into a battleground of emotions. Jason, bewildered and defenseless, attempted to explain himself, but George's fists were quicker than any words."George, please, it's not what you think," Jason pleaded, his voice strained as the first punch connected, sending him sprawling to the ground. The impact resonated with a thud, a stark contrast to the once festive ambiance.Celia, now realizing the gravity of the situation, attempted to intervene. "George, wait! Let him explain," she implored, her words falling on deaf ears as George, fueled by a potent mixture of rage and betrayal, continued his assault.The room, which had witnessed cheerful Christmas moments just moments ago, became an arena for an unexpected confrontation. Jason's attempts to shield himself proved futile as George's blows landed with a force fueled by hurt and disappointment.Each punch echoed a cascade of emotions – the tr

"A set up?" Jason blinked at Lisa's deduction."I'm just speculating but what are the odds that he would come back just in time to find you and his wife kissing?"Jason ran his hands through his hair as he thought about it. What could William possibly gain from severing their contract and friendship. It just didn't make much sense to him."I don't know but I can't think of any reason for him to want to set me up. We were both benefiting from our collaboration, so I don't see it."Jason replied."That's fair, just be careful with anything relating to business from now on." Lisa advised. She knew she was being a little paranoid but she couldn't help but be worried about Jason. She'd been in business long enough to know things like this happend every time, she also knew that Jason needed someone to watch out for him."Thank you Lisa." Jason answered.They were both quiet for a while, each one of them in their own thoughts.Lisa felt sorry for her boss and at the same time paranoid. Wil

*We can always drink tap water." Jason shrugged."Tap water?" Lisa gasped, scrunching up her nose as if he'd said something that was absolutely taboo."Yes, I don't mind, do you?"Lisa blinked, she knew her boss came from humble beginnings but tap water? He really hasn't changed since the first time they met."Don't look so shocked, I've drunk worse.""There's something worse than tap water?" Lisa blurted out. Her boss never ceased to amaze her. He looked so much like his father that sometimes she forgot that they had grown up in completely different words with one of them struggling all his life and the other living in luxury. His father would have never drank tap water."Trust me, there is." Jason said in a tone that suggested that she didn't even want to know the worse things. "Where do you keep your glasses?""Over here." Lisa handed him a glass cup, their hands touched for a brief moment and both of them stood gazing at each other longingly for a brief moment before Jason cleared

The smell of coffee, lattes and french fries invaded Jason's nostrils causing his stomach to growl out in anticipation as he stepped into McDonald's.The place was sparsely packed. On one side of the hall were a bunch of highschoolers talking loudly and playing music and on the other side were a few working class men and women, some eating alone, others eating with one or more people.As his eyes continued to scan the place, they landed on a familiar frame.Lisa.Jason raised a confused eyebrow and shook his head in amusement until he noticed the man that was seated across from her.A frown crossed his features when he realized who the man was.Without thinking his actions through, he walked up to them and offered a smile and called out Lisa by her name. Lisa who'd been engrossed in her conversation with Kole glanced up at him, her eyes widening when she saw him."Sir, Hi, what are you doing here?" She asked.Jason's smile didn't quite reach his eyes as he spoke."Just came to get l

Jason sat in the middle of my living room, waiting for Otis to come pick him up so they could both go clubbing.Staying in was messing with his mind and he kept thinking about Lisa and how hurt she'd looked when he'd practically insinuated that he would be sleeping with Miss Ashton.He felt bad about his choice of words and actions and he'd felt like this since he left the office. He'd seen her living with Daniel and he'd gotten pissed momentarily but had instantly gotten over it.He knew that Daniel wasn't a threat. She had a boyfriend after all, one he hated with a raging passion.The doorbell rang and Jason stood up and went to answer it, holding up his hand to stop the maid that was about to.He opened the door and frowned when he saw who was at the door.Celia Daniels."What the hell are you doing here?" Jason growled, glaring at her with hatred in his eyes.He couldn't believe her audacity coming to his house after what she had done to destroy his friendship with her husband.
