"Jonas!" Jade called out in a loud voice when she sighted Harry from afar off heading for the cafeteria, causing heads to turn in both hers and Harry's direction. Harry turned when he heard her voice, and even though he didn't like that she called him in such a manner within the company, thereby drawing attention to them both, he didn't let it show on his face. His heart fluttered when he saw the wide smile on her face as she hurried to catch up with him, and he smiled at her, remembering the last time…-

The moment the general meeting came to an end, Lucy stood up and quickly headed for the door with her stuff. This had to be the longest meeting she had ever attended in her entire life. She had felt awkward for most of it since even though she had kept her head down she had met Tom's gaze each time she looked up, and had once caught Tom's grandfather staring at her, and when their eyes met, he had grinned. "Why are you in so much of a hurry to leave, cousin?" Harry asked as he blocked Lucy's path. "Who…

As Cassidy stopped in front of Andy, she eyed him, watching and waiting to see what he was going to do while also preparing herself to pounce on him if he so much as made the wrong move. In a sudden but calculated move that took Andy unaware, Cassidy ripped her shirt in two to expose her twin mounds. "You bastard!" Andy gasped in shock and outrage as her hands shot out to strike him, but again he was quicker than her. He pushed her against the door roughly and before she could regain her balance, he…

Candace didn't know it but tears rolled down her cheeks as she watched Aaron and Jamal argue over a move false Jamal had made as they played a game of cards. It warmed her heart each time she saw her precious little boy interact with either Aaron, Harry, or Tom.

The joy and admiration on Jamal's face…

As Tom, Harry, and Eric concluded their meeting in readiness to leave for the general conference hall which would accommodate all the shareholders and directors of I-Global, Tom's phone beeped and he scowled when he saw it was a multimedia message from Barry. "What is wrong?" Harry asked when he noticed the reluctance on Tom's face to check the message. As curious as Tom was to know what was going on, he wasn't very keen to find out about it in that moment. He could do so after the meeting. "Barry just…

Inside Lucy's office, she sat with her seat backing her desk and the door as she fumed over Tom's words. She had tried to channel her annoyance to the files in front of her but she had given up when Tom's words kept coming back to her. Why did he have to make her feel bad because she had been honest with him about her emotion? How could he call her a control freak when she never even tried to control him or anyone else around her? What was so wrong about wanting to be in control of things that happened in…

Anita stood by her office window lost in thoughts. At the moment she was torn between turning in her resignation letter as she had planned to do and continuing with her job at I-Global Airline. Although the name might have been changed from Ocean Airline to I-Global airline, the place still held a special spot in her heart. The airline had belonged to her maternal family, and her late grandfather had taken her there often when she a child, since she was the only grandchild who had shown any interest in…

"Is that it?" Tom asked, and Lucy looked at him in confusion. "What?" she asked, wondering what he was talking about. "Is that what you are scared of? Is that the reason you don't want to get married?" Tom asked, and Lucy frowned. "Didn't you say we were not to talk about it until next year?" she reminded him. "I said we would both revisit our final decisions after a year. That doesn't mean I don't want to understand the reason for your present decision. If I understand your reason it could influence…
