Candy scoffed and folded her arms.
"You really thought I would do that?" She asked, and the man's brows knitted a little.
"What?"
"If you need a blow job so badly then do it yourself" She stated and turned to leave. Diego clinched his jaw hard and stood immediately. Taking three long strides he caught and pulled her to himself.
Candy's head collided with his chest, her eyes met with his cold gaze but she didn't flinch like she used to. She hates the way this man plays with her the way he likes. She is going to stop it.
"You're getting too bold to cross the line Candy" He uttered, holding her hand tight.
"You're hurting me" She whispered, but the man held her tight and winced a little, trying hard to show her weak side.
"Is it because your storm is cleared? Is that why you think you can act this way?" He asked.
"First you forced me into working with you. You should treat me with respect sir. I'm your wife, not a sex slave" She said.
"Wife is just a label. This is how I am.." He turned her around and pinned her to the wall. "Should I just fuck you hard until you get back to your senses?" He asked and Candy bit down her lips. Diego saw the fear in her eyes even though she tried to hide it.
He hated that look on her face.
"Fuck!" He wanted to touch her but he was too angry.
"Get back to work" He released her and stepped back to his seat. Candy took a deep breath, she looked at him before leaving.
"Why do I feel like I'll regret this later on?" Candy muttered after entering her office.
'Is it because your storm is cleared? Is that why you're acting this way?' His voice sounded in her head. He seemed too angry and she felt conflicted.

Jameson walked into the office and found Diego resting his head on his chair. His face was hard and serious. He was angry.
"Did something happen?" Jameson asked, stepping closer.
"What took you so long?" Diego asked without opening his eyes.
"Oh, I branched to see Einstein. He's pretty upset you haven't come to see him all these while" Jameson said. He continued when he said nothing "What's up with the cold aura, you're freaking me out"
"Just go away, Jameson. I'm not in the mood." Diego said.
"I hope you didn't forget about the small celebration tonight," Jameson said, knowing Diego forgot things like this.
"I didn't," Diego muttered.

"There's a celebration?" Candy asked Yazmine to walk to the clothes store together.
"Yeah, how come hardly hear the news in the company?" Yazmine said, hitting her shoulder gently and they laughed.
"I hardly check my phone, that's why" Candy replied. "By the way, who is this guy following us behind?"
Yazmine stopped and faced Aiden, "This is Aiden, he is under me"
"Oh, I almost mistaken him for your boyfriend," Candy smiled awkwardly.
"Tsskk..Aiden is way too young than me. We can't be together"
"Age is just a number" Aiden who was quiet the whole time spoke and they both looked at him.
"Wow, I think I know what is going on," Candy chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Yazmine asked Aiden.
"In a relationship. It doesn't matter if the girl is older than the guy. All that matters is what they feel about each other" Aiden answered with a handsome smile as he stared at her.
Yazmine almost thought he was referring to them. She swallowed and faced Candy.
"He is new to the company. We are not together" She said and walked away while Candy followed.
Aiden sighed, pulling out his phone. He clicked on a chat and smiled, staring at the latest message.
*HEY, WHY AREN'T REPLYING THESE DAYS? ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH THE GIRL YOU LIKE AT WORK? HOPE YOU'RE FINE. PLEASE REPLY*
He replied to the message and kept his phone back in his pocket.

The curtain opened as Candy made a pose with her lovely gown. Bringing down the shade on her face, she winked at Yazmine.
"Holy shit! What an angel for my brother" Yazmine remarked.
"Urgh, I'm not your brother's girlfriend. Talking about Jameson, where is he? I hardly see him these days"
"He's preparing a honeymoon for you"
"Yazmine!"
"Okay fine.. he is just busy that's all. You can scold him at the small party" Yazmine answered.
"Oh, I can't wait to see him"
"Why can't you date my brother? Are you really taken? Who is he, cus I've never seen you with a man before" She asked and Candy sighed.
"You'll get to know him soon"
"Really? I can't wait. Why can't you tell me now? I'm so curious" Yazmine said.
"Just know he is a powerful man and handsome. Now is not the right time to know him. you'll get to know soon. I promise" Candy said with a smile. "I should try the other dress, give me a minute" She went in again.
Yazmine pulled out her phone and decided to check her messages.
*NO SHE INDIRECTLY REJECTED ME. SORRY FOR REPLYING LATE, I'VE BEEN BUSY*
Yazmine didn't know when she let out a smile. When she realized this, she scolded herself inwardly.
*YOU'LL MEET A GIRL THAT IS WAY BETTER THAN HER. WHY IS YOUR WORK STRESSFUL. WHERE ARE YOU WORKING?*
Yazmine texted and to her surprise, the anonymous guy replied.
*SO YOU CAN COME VISIT ME?*
Yazmine smiled again.
*I WANT TO TEACH YOUR BOSS A LESSON FOR STRESSING YOU OUT*
*DON'T WORRY SOMEONE DID THAT ALREADY*
*HUH? WHO DID?*
*THE GIRL I LIKE*
Yazmine paused for a moment and blinked severally. That's strange. Why does this seem familiar? She turned her head to Aiden who was busy with his phone, with his back resting on the wall. Soon, Aiden looked up to her and she quickly avert her gaze.
Yazmine twitched her lips a little. It can't be him, right?

Jameson's doorbell rang while he was busy drying his hair with a clean towel. Thinking it was the pizza delivery, he opened the door and to his dismay, he saw Jackie standing at his doorstep.
"Oh shit!" He jerked a little.
"I'm not a ghost.. oh gawd" Jackie's eyes widened, seeing his wet abs. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Why are you still staring? And how do you even know here?"
Jackie composed herself.
"I had a friend who can track down anyone. So knowing you're sick, I should check up on you time to time" She replied.
"You've got to be kidding me" Jameson muttered and wanted to shut the door but she held it.
"Is that how to treat a guest?" She asked.
"A guest who doesn't have manners is not a guest. You see I'm half naked and you refuse to look away" He stated and Jackie scoffed.
"Why should I look away? Even if you're completely naked I would do the same"
Jameson was shocked by her words, and Jackie used the opportunity to walk in forcefully. Her sight caught the beauty of the house and jaw dropped.
"This is too beautiful for a grumpy guy like you to live in," She remarked. Turning she found Jameson standing close to her with a cold look.
"Ahh, don't sneak up on a guest like that" She snapped.
"You're no guest. Leave my house"
"Make me" she dared and the man smirked.
In the next moment, Jackie was on Jameson's shoulder wiggling her arms her legs.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
Getting outside, he dropped her and then locked the door.
"Hey!!" Jackie yelled standing up to her feet. "I shouldn't have cared about this motherfucker. I blame it on Einstein" She huffed and left the place.
"Gawd she is crazy" Jameson muttered inside.
