"Are you still mad at me?" Sonia asked Bryan after Matt left them saying he needed to check on someone. "Would I be talking to you if I was mad?" Bryan asked as he poured some cereals into a bowl and added milk to it. "Maybe not. I can't shake off the feeling that you're just talking to me but you're still upset with me," Sonia told Bryan who was now raising a spoonful of cereals into his mouth. His hand stopped midway, "I'm sure it's just your conscience pricking you for treating me so unfairly,"…-

Somehow after the events of the past couple of days, Lucy was beginning to feel quite different about herself. She was beginning to feel more confident, and she wasn't as scared to step out of her house and face life as she had been a while ago. She couldn't tell what it was that had caused the change. Perhaps it was the sex with Tom, or it was because she had finally been able to open up to Tom concerning some parts of her past, or maybe it was because of Tom's feelings towards her which she largely…

"So what's up with you?" Sonia asked Matt once the production crew had left and it was remaining just the three of them in the house. "Huh?" Matt asked in confusion. "What? Do you think I missed the fact that you were worried when you walked in here? I figured you needed the distraction hence I asked you to join us. What's wrong? You need to talk to Bryan alone, or is it something you can share?" Sonia asked as she handed him a glass of whiskey. Matt looked at Sonia for a moment without saying…

Anita wasn't really pleased about making the call to Lucy, especially considering how Lucy had acted like a little bitch during the meeting, but she had long decided to set aside her pride in her bid to get the CEO. He clearly wanted a docile woman he could control, and she was going to be one for him. All that she was doing, was stooping to conquer. "Hey, dearie! Can you talk right now?" Anita asked in a cheerful voice the moment the call connected. "You mean like you talked to me during the meeting…

After his phone call with Harry, Tom had decided to give Lucy a call since that was the reasonable thing to do next as he was keeping up the front. What he hadn't expected was that she was going to play along in this manner, "It can't wait. I need to speak with you now," Tom responded, still gazing at her through the rearview mirror as she tried to keep her attention focused on the road. "Well, I'm driving and I can't talk while driving. Besides, my boss is here," Lucy pointed out in a whisper, as she…

Tom cleared his throat to get the attention of both ladies, "Miss Miller, although you have a good idea, I don't think it is cost-effective. We are trying to find out how to improve the company's services as lots of people have stopped using this airline, and we don't know why. Getting celebrities on board would cost us a lot of money that the company doesn't have," Tom said, and Lucy tried not to snort. "We might not need to pay them. I have some friends. I could call in a favor," Anita suggested, not…

Once Tom's meeting ended and the others left his office, Lucy walked over to his office door and knocked on it. She waited until he gave her the go-ahead and then walked in. "Is there a problem?" Tom asked curtly without bothering to glance at her. His gaze remained fixed on his laptop. "When are we leaving for Oceans airlines, sir?" Lucy asked while looking around his office curiously since that was something she had failed to do each time she had entered his office the previous times. She…

"What? Why are you still grinning?" Harry asked Jade, suspecting that she was probably still thinking about his father's phonecall. "Nothing," Jade said with a giggle as they both got out of the car and started walking in the direction of the building that housed the spa. Although Harry didn't exactly believe her, but he decided to let sleeping dogs lie, as he wasn't ready to have an awkward conversation with her. "How old is your dad by the way?" Jade asked curiously, making Harry look at her…

Matt had different thoughts running through his head as he drove his car away from Candy's. He wasn't sure if he had done the wrong or right thing by walking away from Candy, but this wasn't a movie where he could play the role of being her hero. He didn't want to be with someone with such a horrid past. Even his upbringing wouldn't let him. He liked her no doubt, and if her past had nothing to do with being involved with a drug cartel or murder, then he probably would have considered sticking by her…

"So what's the plan?" Jade asked Harry once they were done with breakfast and were heading for his car. "Let's get you to a spa where you can get a good beauty treatment, and then we can go to the salon to take care of your hair and nails," Harry said, glancing at her untidy fingernails. Jade followed his gaze to her nails and then curled her fingers into her palm to cover them from his view, "Yeah, let's do that," she said with an embarrassed smile as she let him unlock the car doors and hold out…
