"If you say so. Perhaps we can share the cup then? I'd hate to deprive you of your chocolate," He offered, and Jade pursed her lips for a second before standing up. "You can have that. I will just make myself another cup," Jade said as she stood up, and then she looked at Harry in surprise when he stood up too, "You're going inside already?" "Since I took your chocolate, and I'm making you make another for yourself, it's only fair that I keep you company while you prepare another cup…-

"Wait. What? You're not just making this up for my story, are you?" Sonia asked in disbelief, and Jade laughed softly. "No, I'm not." "You do know that a lot of romance stories started this way, right?" Sonia asked excitedly, and Jade grinned. "Well, I didn't think of it that way at the time." "You didn't? Fine. Go on. What happened next?" Sonia asked, wanting to hear about it. Jade couldn't believe that it was only now, after four years, that she was actually recalling the fine details of…

Once Lucy returned to her office after having lunch with Tom, she shut the door behind her and walked over to her seat. She had tried to hold in her emotions for Tom's sake, but now that she was alone and could process all that Tom had told her, as well as Anita's recorded conversation, she couldn't stop herself from crying. She rested her forehead on her desk as she sobbed. She stopped crying when a knock sounded on her door, and she cleared her throat, "Yes?" "Can I come in?" Amy asked politely.…

"I told you. I told you they were not going to remember. Not one of them remembered," Desmond told his wife glumly as they sat down for breakfast after Adolf informed them that both brothers and their women had left the house very early that morning and so wouldn't join them for breakfast. "Maybe they have a lot on their mind with all that has happened lately. You should have let me remind them," Evelyn said, looking just as sad as her husband. "What is the point of reminding them? Having a lot on…

Once they walked into Tom's office and shut the door behind them, Lucy faced Tom when she remembered the offer from the foundation. "Uhm, I need to tell you something." "I have something to tell you too." "Let's talk before we eat," Lucy suggested, and Tom gave her a nod as he led her to one of the comfortable sofas in his office. Lucy dug into her handbag and took out the letter the women had given her, "Two ladies came to see me earlier on. They're from the She Can Heal Founda..." She stopped…

"Any contrary ideas? What about contributions or constructive criticism?" Lucy asked for the fifth time as she looked at each of her teammates with disapproval. It seemed like they had all turned to yes-men, and nobody wanted to disagree with her because of her relationship with Tom. "What is the meaning of all this? How can none of you have an opinion of your own?" Lucy asked, trying not to snap at them in frustration. "I have less than twenty minutes before presenting these new designs to the…

Lucy raised her head in frustration when her office door opened once again, ready to snap at whoever was there to interrupt her work. "Sorry, two ladies are here to meet with you. They say they're from She Can Heal Foundation," Amy rushed to explain when she saw the annoyance on Lucy's face. "What do they want?" Lucy asked as she glanced at her wristwatch impatiently. She still needed to meet with her team before the board meeting, and she didn't have enough time to waste chatting with anyone "I…

"How do you guys plan to take care of Anita and her family?" Jade asked curiously as she and Bryan walked down the hallway after leaving Tom's office. Her eyes darted in the direction of Harry's office, but the door was closed. Somehow she wished that she would run into him in the elevator or down the hallway. She would like to see him again before leaving. "Are you asking as a lawyer or as our sister?" Bryan asked, and Jade rolled her eyes. "Am I only allowed to choose between the two? Why can't…

"How did you get the recording?" Jade asked after they finished listening to the voice recordings. Neither of them needed to ask who the lead female in the recording was. "How is that even important right now? Did you hear anything that was said?" Bryan asked with a slight frown, not liking any of the stuff he had heard. "Yes, I did. And that is the more reason I'm interested in knowing how these recorded conversations got to his hand," Jade pointed out, and they both looked at Tom, who was just…

Harry watched as Jade ate quietly, and he wondered why she had suddenly become quiet. It was very unlike her to not have one thing or another to talk about unless she was upset about something. "Did I say something to upset you?" He asked in concern after failing to come up with anything he could have said to upset her. "No, you didn't," Jade assured him as she sipped from her can of juice. "Are you sure? I'm sorry if I did," Harry said, and this time she smiled at him as she licked her bottom…
