Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13

KIMBERLY

Completing the last file work I had got me noticing that time flew with work

I knew Dad will be pleased if I don't stay out late so I quickly sorted my things then picked the file which requires Jace's signatures

God! Just thinking about him gets me smiling

Approaching his office I notice Stacy also parking up

Looks like she is done for today too; I smile thinking about how diligent the workers of JADS are

Hi! Stacy

She simply continue what she is doing not bothering to spare me a glance

Knowing what the problem was which I wasn't cut out to thrash in the moment, I simply walk past her stepping into Jace's hallway

I place a knock on his door to see the "come in sign" glow with light

He was still so busy typing away to know who came in so I simply place the file on his desk aligning with the others I saw

Another file Stacy! He sighs, still typing away

Have a great day boss! I whisper not wanting to distract him but it seems my voice itself is a big distraction as he suddenly raised his head up looking as ravishing as ever

Hmm I only came to give a file which needs your signature

I will be taking my leave now then; I made to walk away when his voice halts my movement

Boss?? He asks looking me in the eye

Hmm I mean J-Jace... I trail off

You are just going to leave for home without a proper goodbye to your lover, hmm? He raises a brow shamelessly

I couldn't stop the red color creeping in the way he stressed on the "lover"

I did not want to distract you as you seem very busy

I got distracted the very day I met you Kim! He grins walking towards me

I couldn't help swallow involuntary feeling the butterflies in my stomach flying around

STACY

The anger I felt towards Kim for seducing Jace got me in a sour mood all day

I mean she is such a slut that it only took her a couple of days to open her legs wide, for Jace cannot love her, right?

I am sure she is the one who has been throwing herself shamelessly at him

If only I knew he loves the girls shameless, I don't mind being one for him

I am so busy in my thoughts not to notice her walk towards me as I suddenly hear her annoying voice which I once found lovely saying hi as if nothing happened

God! What a deceitful bitch

I ignored her knowing I will only rip her hair off if I were to reply her greetings

As if the surprises I got today isn't enough she simply walk past me into Jace's office as if she now owns it

Knowing Jace hated such attitude, I grin waiting to see how she will run out here in tears...

JACE

I walk towards Kim wanting to be close enough noticing her gulp down nothing

I smirk pleased that my mere presence affected her so much

Heaven! shouldn't you say goodbye to this lover of yours more romantic? I ask standing in front of her close enough to feel the hitch in her breath

Hm.. hmmm... J Jace yeah I mean I will be going home now... It's getting pretty late and Dad won't be happy; she says in one go looking flushed

Fine! Should I drive you home?

Thanks! But you should keep on with your work

I will call once I get home; she smiles radiantly

Okkkk..... I place my hands on her waist bringing her closer

J... Jace what are you doing? She asks almost breathless

Saying Goodbye to Mine! I swiftly place a kiss at the corner of her lip knowing I have to take thing slow with her

I would not want to do anything she isn't comfortable with

She blush furiously taking her gaze down with her long lashes covering those eyes

Don't hide away from me princess! I lift her head up with the tip of my fingers

I won't! She whisper making me smile

You should get going now so Uncle doesn't come asking why his daughter isn't home yet, huh? I raise a brow teasingly

Yeah! She smiles

I should walk you to your car... I turn around to take my coat only to be stopped by her hand

You should try rounding up so you can also head home; I will be fine!

I couldn't help kissing the hand she placed on mine while pushing a hair strand away from her face when the door suddenly open making her take a step back together with her delicate hands

Really, Daniel?? I groan walking back to my desk

Did I interrupt anything brother? He asks with a rueful smirk earning him a glare from me

I will take my leave now! Good bye Jace, Daniel. See you tomorrow...

With that she flees out of my office

Oh my goodness, Jace! how do you always get all the good things? Daniel frowns

Because I deserve them.... I shrug with a smirk on my face

Typical narcissist! He mutters to my hearing resulting to laughter

KIMBERLY

I walk out of Jace's office all red and in smiles to bump into Stacy

I said a quick sorry before walking away not giving anyone an opportunity to ruin my mood

In no time, I drove into the familiar compound

My home!!!

Walking out of my room after freshening up as Dad wasn't home when I returned

Dinner is ready miss; a maid walks up to me

Is my Dad back from work?

Yes, miss! He is waiting for you at the dinning table

Thank you! I descended down the stairs with a bit of a wonder why Dad came home quite late today

Look who decided to leave the confines of her bedroom! Dad tease with a grin

Good evening Dad! I smile leaning to kiss his cheek before taking my seat

Evening Sweetheart! How was work?

Well as usual "stress but fun" I pick the serviette gently placing it on my thigh

You came home pretty late, Dad! Hope all is well? Raising my head to meet his gaze

Why don't you mind your business and stop poking your nose into every affair of others? Keila fired angrily

Instantly realizing that whatever got Dad staying late at work have to do with her, I couldn't help but smile

What have you done sister? I grin watching how uncomfortable she became instantly

You just keep your filthy nose in your poc.....

You insolent child! Instead of thinking of how to fix your mess, you sit here to banter with your sister having the guts of throwing insults at her

Oh heavens! What did I do to deserve such a Child

Dad angrily hits his hand on the table glaring daggers at Keila making me wonder what she could have done

Quell your anger Steve, she is only a child; mistakes can be made .... Ciara started to say when Dad glared at her cutting off whatever words that came forth

I understand whatever Keila has done is upsetting to you Dad but I will prefer you eat first and we try handling the issue after dinner

A wise man once told me that anger leads to unfulfilled work

I smile recalling his very own words which I always use to handle my own anger

He simply smiles and continue to eat making me proud of my ability to reason when others can't
