DISCUSSIONS AT THE TABLE.
CHAPTER 14: DISCUSSIONS AT THE TABLE.JACK'S POV.I woke up the next morning refreshed, revitalized, and re-energized. The previous night was one I really needed. Additionally, I was famished. I got up and washed my face in the bathroom before I headed downstairs to the kitchen, just wearing my bathrobe. As I got there, some of the house staff were already working on breakfast. The delectable aroma filled the atmosphere. Noticing my presence, they quickly bowed."Good morning, sir," they greeted."Hello," I replied smiling mildly. Then I went ahead to open the fridge to see what I could find. "Let us help with whatever it is you want sir," one of the staff said, walking toward me. "It's alright. I've got it," I responded and continued. I made myself some oats with milk, topping it with some nuts, banana, almond, and strawberry. Tasting it, I nodded and headed to my room with it. I could help but begin to scoop from it while I walked. I used to make this when I was still married,
A FRIEND IN NEED.
CHAPTER 13: A FRIEND IN NEED.JESSICA'S POV.Still caught up in my dilemma, I stood there confused. "Argh!" I grunted and impulsively walked to the restaurant instead. My friend needed me. I made a mental note to ask Michael later what took him to that hotel. Walking in, I saw that the diners' attention was on the arguing couple."You're supposed to be home with the kids, Malcolm. Yet you're here with her, again?" 'Again?' I asked myself, furrowing my brow. So Sam had been keeping this to herself all along. "Honey, it's not what you think. She's a client. We had to uh- We had to meet to discuss a few things in person. It's nothing more than that," he replied, visibly tensed. Sam scoffed, shaking her in disbelief while he spoke. "Who is this, Malcolm? Why is she interrupting us?" the woman Malcolm was with asked, looking pissed with a frown on her face. Malcolm glared at her, speaking through gritted teeth, "Let me handle this!" "Who the hell is she Malcolm?" she continued. "Ar
AT A FIX.
CHAPTER 12: AT A FIX.JESSICA'S POV. Stretching as I yawned exhaustedly, I found out it was already past ten at night. And Michael wasn't back home yet. Samantha was still around though. How fortunate for me. I really needed her around more than I cared to admit. "Hey. Don't you think you should be heading home? It's quite late," I said. "It's okay. I already spoke with my husband about it, and I asked the babysitter to watch the twins. I already paid her for the extra hours, so I can stay for as long as I want," Samantha replied. "And what about Julie and Sallie? I'm sure they're missing their mom.""Well, someone else needs my attention. They've had me all day," she replied, making me chuckle softly."I'm truly grateful that you're here. It really means a lot.""What are friends for?" Samantha responded, smiling as she took hold of my hand and patted it. "Remember how we used to pull all-nighters back in college?" Samantha asked. "And what we did mostly was binge on rom-coms r
THE DISTRACTION I THOUGHT I NEEDED.
CHAPTER 11: THE DISTRACTION I THOUGHT I NEEDED.JACK'S POV.The maid got down on her knees as she picked up the plates that had fallen, clattering upon impact with the floor. I was stunned to see that part of her left boob had slid out of her maid's uniform. I gulped as I glanced at it. Why the heck was I not looking away? Was it because it was perky and firm? Was it because I hadn't had sex in a really long while? I froze, staring at the maid's boob. 'But wait a minute. Why were they out in the first place? Her uniform is supposed to be buttoned to the collar.' This thought helped snap me out of my momentary daze as I looked away, clearing my throat. But I had observed a mild smile creep up her face briefly."Oh my! I'm so sorry, sir. I was so clumsy," she said as she picked up the broken pieces. "It's alright," I replied, lacking the boldness to look in her direction. "Please, let me go get something to clean up this mess I've made," she said as she quickly headed out of my room
DARING APPROACH.
CHAPTER 10: DARING APPROACH.JACK'S POV.I was officially done with my first day as President of the Rosker Group. It indeed was quite a day, not just for me, but for a lot of folks. I was driven home by the same men who accompanied me to the headquarters. They were going to be my personal bodyguards. They were handpicked by my Dad, so I trusted his judgement, for the time being, anyway. I made a mental note to have them changed soon.We arrived at the villa, and I exited the car as one of the men opened the door. As I walked in, I met my father in the living room, sitting in his favorite chair, the old rocking chair I grew up seeing him use most evenings. Although I had scarcely seen him use it during the past two weeks since I returned."Hey, son," he greeted. He seemed to be in a cheerful mood. "Hey, Dad," I greeted in response as I sat down sighing, setting my bag beside me."Quite a day, huh?" "Ugh! Tell me about it," I remarked. "You shook quite a number of things, didn't y
A FRIEND INDEED.
CHAPTER 9: A FRIEND INDEED. Jessica sat in her for a bit, unable to head out of the Rosker Group Headquarters, not for inability to do so, but because of the pain of disappointment. With her hand gripping her hair, she welled up with grief. Unable to hold it in, she screamed and slammed the steering wheel of her car multiple times, causing the horn to blare with every impact.The few people around were startled and wondered what the matter was with her. Of course, some assumed she was straight-up crazy, while others were concerned about her. With her head bent, she began sobbing lightly before she broke down, placing her head in her hands as she held on to the steering wheel. "What have I done? How did I not know who he was?" she lamented. Oh, she knew she had shot herself in the leg. After a while, she pulled herself together, sighing as she wiped her tears. Starting her car, she drove off, heading straight to her office. Arriving there, the atmosphere was as gloomy as she looke
