PROMISE?
"Does she have some kind of personal rivalry with Sarah?" Brandon murmured as he continued working on the report.His thoughts had returned to his conversation with Victoria the other day. It was just an usual conversation about the upcoming gathering, but when he had mentioned Sarah's name while discussing the people who would be attending the gathering.Victoria had tried to sound casual, but he had noticed the change in her voice. She had become unusually quiet and seemed less interested in the conversation after hearing Sarah's name.At first, Brandon hadn't thought much about it. Sarah was his colleague, and they worked together on the same project. There was nothing unusual about their professional relationship. However, Victoria's reaction had been difficult to ignore.He leaned back in his chair, trying to make sense of it.He couldn't recall Victoria reacting that way whenever he mentioned anyone else. She was usually comfortable with his colleagues, but Sarah seemed to be an
THAT'S GOOD NEWS
“Brandon, do you have a few minutes?”Brandon looked up from his laptop when Mr. Norway approached his desk. “Of course, sir. Is there something you need?”Mr. Norway pulled a chair closer and sat down. “I wanted to discuss the progress of the project. How is your team managing the revised schedule?”“We've completed most of the initial work. Sarah and I reviewed the latest figures yesterday, and we've identified a few areas that need adjustments. We should be able to submit the revised report by Friday.”“Good. Have you encountered any major difficulties?”“Nothing we can't handle. The main issue is that we're still waiting for some information from the suppliers. Without those details, we can't finalise the cost estimates.”Mr. Norway nodded with a gentle smile. “I'll have the procurement department follow up with them. We shouldn't let a delay in receiving information affect the entire schedule.”“That would help, sir.”Mr. Norway glanced at the documents on Brandon's desk. “I also
I'M NOT IN A HURRY
“Where did you get that cake, sweetie?”Laura's question greeted her as soon as she entered the living room with a container in her hands. Victoria had barely taken off her shoes when her mother noticed what she was carrying.“Brandon made it for me,” Victoria answered, placing the container on the dining table.Laura immediately smiled. “He baked a cake for you?”“I was craving chocolate cake, so I asked him to make one. He agreed, and I helped him.”“I'm sure you did,” Laura commented with an amused expression. “Or did you spend the entire time watching him?”Victoria gave her mother an unimpressed look. “I actually helped. I mixed the ingredients and decorated the cake.”“That's wonderful.” Laura teased her daughter. “Perhaps Brandon can teach you a few more things in the kitchen.”“Mom, I know how to cook.”“Of course you do, dear. I was only suggesting that you learn a little more.”David entered the dining area just as Laura opened the container. He glanced at the cake before pu
A CAKE?
“Brandon, can you bake me a cake?”Brandon paused while arranging the groceries on the kitchen counter and glanced at Victoria, who was sitting on one of the stools with her phone in her hand.“A cake?” he repeated.“Yes. I've been craving one since morning, but I don't want to order from outside. I want a homemade one.”Victoria looked at him expectantly, waiting for his response.“And you've decided that I'm the person who should make it?” Brandon teased her with a smile.“Of course. You're much better at cooking than I am, and I've heard you bake too.”“Who told you that?”“You did, actually.” Victoria reminded him. “Don't you remember mentioning that you used to bake occasionally?”Brandon tried to recall the conversation before giving her an amused look. “I didn't realise that one casual comment would turn into a baking assignment.”Victoria smiled with a curious face. “So you'll make it?”“Since you've already decided what I'm doing, I suppose I don't have much of a choice.”She
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
“Why are my belongings being packed?”Jake's voice came from the doorway as he entered the house. He had returned earlier than expected and wasn't prepared to find the housekeeper carrying his clothes out of the bedroom.The woman paused with a shirt in her hands. “I'm sorry, sir. Madam has instructed me to pack your belongings, she wants you and your son to leave the house immediately.” “Where is Lyra?”“She is in the living room.”Jake immediately walked towards the living room, where Lyra was sitting on the sofa with her phone in her hand. Emma was beside her, while Leo sat close to Emma, still looking upset with reddened eyes because of crying.“What is going on here? What happened to you all of a sudden?” Jake questioned as he approached them.Lyra placed her phone on the table. “Finally, you're home. That's good. I was just about to have someone inform you that you need to leave my house.” Jake stared at her, unsure whether he had heard correctly. “Leave? What are you talking
ARE YOU ASKING YOUR OWN MOTHER TO LEAVE?
“Put that down, Leo! Those things don't belong to you.”Lyra's voice made the little boy turn towards her. He was standing near Maggie's old cupboard, holding a small music box in his hands. Several of her daughter's belongings were scattered across the bed, and one of the drawers had been left open.The music box in Leo's hands was one of Maggie's most treasured possessions. Brandon had gifted it to her after she bravely took her vaccination, and she had cherished it ever since. It had become part of her bedtime routine, as she would only fall asleep after listening to its gentle melody while her father sang her a lullaby. Looking at the box brought those memories rushing back to Lyra. She could still picture Maggie running happily around the house, holding the music box in her little hands and proudly showing it to everyone. The joy on her daughter's face was something Lyra could never forget.“What are you doing in here?” Lyra demanded as she walked towards him.“I was just lookin
