NEXT MORNING≈THE JAMES MANSION>
“Where’s dad?” Teresa asked as Mrs James dished out the meal
“Office” Mrs James replied
“I miss your food mom,but you should let the maids do it,I don’t want you to stress yourself” Teresa pouted like a kid
“I miss cooking for you,Oliver and Xavier too. I wish you all are still here” Mrs James said and Teresa chuckled
“But I’m still better than those dummies,they never bother coming here unless being forced. Who do they think they are?” Teresa scoffed and Mrs James laughed
“Your father told me he would like to have a family dinner with you all tomorrow,so you should call your brothers and tell them about it” Mrs James said
“Trust me on that mom” Teresa smiled and started eating while Mrs James watched her,she kept stroking her hair
“I’m no longer a kid mom,come on” Teresa groaned
“Says who? You’re just twenty six,a baby” Mrs James said
“So what about Oliver and Xavier,what will you call them?” Teresa asked
“You all are my babies okay?” Mrs James said
Just then,Ariana came in grumpily
She sat down
“No greetings at all?” Teresa snapped
“Not in the mood” Ariana rolled her eyes
“Seriously?? I told you this little girl took after that arrogant Oliver,Xavier took after me seriously,what the h*ll?” Teresa scoffed
“Are you okay?” Mrs James asked
“School is annoying to go these past two days,I h@ťě everyone in that school” Ariana hissed
“Oh,did something happened?” Teresa asked
“Nothing important,I’m just totally pissed” Ariana muttered and got up
“You’re leaving without eating?” Mrs James asked
“I will just go with snacks,sister when are you leaving?” Ariana asked
“In few minutes,why?”
“I’m riding with you so hurry up while I wait in the car” Ariana let out a dry smile before going out
“That spoilt brat” Teresa mumbled
“I’m sure she’s just in a bad mood” Mrs James said
“Yeah I know she’s not like this,I wonder what happened in school” Teresa said and stood up
“I need to go mom,see you tomorrow night” Teresa kissed her cheek before going out
She met Ariana in the Car scrolling through her phone
The driver drove out of the house
••••••
“Thank you sis” Ariana said as she got down from the car
Tyler also came down from his bike at the same time,he removed his helmet and his eyes met with Ariana’s own
The female students are already drooling.
Ariana rolled her eyes and walked away
“Ari!” Jasper ran after her
“T for Tyler!” Someone called from the back and he turned to see Shalom running after him
“Hey cutie” Tyler smiled and they did a fist bump before walking toward the class
They got to class and it was almost filled up,
“Hey Tyler!!!”
“Morning Tyler!!”
The girls greeted from several angels and Tyler winked at them making them scream
“Flirt”Shalom scoffed and Tyler chuckled
Shalom walked to her seat and Tyler sat beside Davian
“Hey dude,are you okay?” He asked and Davian nodded
“Your face” Tyler said
“Don’t worry about me,nobody cares about my face anyway” Davian said
“Says who?” Tyler asked and Davian looked at him
“So what are you going to do about it? You’re only going to become another prey” Davian said
“Oh come on,just trust me okay. I can handle those two,” Tyler said
“Fine” Davian said
“Good,just do as I say from now” Tyler said and Davian nodded
Almost immediately,loud murmurs filled the class. Tyler and Davian turned at a time and a guy came in with cute smiles all over his face
? Wow,Jaxon??
? Don’t tell me he’s back!!
? Oh my God it’s Jaxon!!
? He look more handsome!!
Some students rushed to hug him and he gladly accepted all
“Who’s he?” Tyler asked
“Jaxon,he’s Monroe’s cousin but they don’t really get along. He stopped coming to school since eleventh grade,rumors said he returned to his parents in New York but I guess he’s back now. As you can see,He’s the girls favorite,your real rival” Davian explained
“What the f-__-k is that? Rival? I’m not in that with anyone” Tyler scoffed
“I’m just saying,but looking at it,you’re more handsome” Davian smiled
Tyler chuckled
“You’re finally talking” He muttered and looked up again to see Jaxon in front of Gianna,they are both talking and smiling,just when he was about leaving her,he pecked her cheek and Gianna blushed
“Is he her boyfriend?” Tyler asked curiously
“Of course not” Davian scoffed
Tyler’s eyes didn’t leave Gianna until Jaxon came closer,staring at Tyler blankly
Tyler also looked up and their eyes met,Tyler also gave him a blank stare.
Jaxon said nothing and went straight to the back seat.
Gianna turned back and waved at Tyler
Tyler smiled and winked at her
Monroe saw the drama and immediately let out a loud hiss
The teacher came into the class and there was silence.
••••••
Jocelyn entered the general kitchen and met Kath with Jennifer getting a drink
“Hey newbie” Jennifer called with a bright smile
“Hi” Jocelyn replied
“I’m Kath and this is Jennifer,we are both editors” Kath introduced
“Oh,I’m Jocelyn. Nice meeting you guys” Jocelyn said
“Yeah,you can join us for lunch later,I will call you” Jennifer said
“I don’t mind,thanks” Jocelyn nodded
Leah also came in with Cynthia
“Oh! Jocelyn right?!” She asked loudly
“Yeah” Jocelyn replied dryly and Leah rolled her eyes
“I’m Cynthia,best typist you will ever find across the world” Cynthia said
“Oh please!” Kath and Jennifer coughed
“Come on guys” Cynthia laughed

When Jocelyn got back to her table,Oliver was already in his office. She dropped the drink she got and entered the office
“Good morning,Mr….”
“Are you seriously just coming?” Oliver cut in
“No,I was in the kitchen” Jocelyn replied and Oliver let out a scoff
“You should always be there until it’s your free time,are you even serious at all?” Oliver asked
Jocelyn closed her eyes and exhaled trying to control herself,she opened her eyes and smiled
“Okay” She muttered and Oliver frowned
“Okay???” He raised his brows
“What else do you want me to say? You clearly told me that the next time I apologize for anything,I will be replaced” Jocelyn said and Oliver stared at her blankly
“What?” He muttered in shock
“You can’t remember??” Jocelyn asked
“Fine,you can apologize anytime you want” Oliver said
“Thank you,then can I say something?” Jocelyn asked and Oliver nodded
“You really don’t expect me to sit down there waiting for you like I’m a kid or something,I wanted a drink so badly,should I have asked for your permission before getting a drink? I’m not a door keeper either,I came here as soon as I saw you in the office,you don’t have to yell at me just because I’m your secretary and finally,I’m sorry for saying everything I just said sir” Jocelyn said and bowed
Oliver blinked twice,did she just said all that to him?? Nobody have ever tried to question his authority….”
“Are you seriously talking to me right now?” Oliver asked
“I already apologized,you said I can apologize for anything” Jocelyn said dryly
Oliver said nothing,his eyes not leaving her
“Oh,that’s a soldier ant over there” Jocelyn suddenly said
“Where?!! Where!!” Oliver shouted and got up immediately
Jocelyn almost laughed out seeing his reaction
‘Wow,he’s afraid of soldier ants??Time to deal with him’ she thought and smirked inwardly
“Oh,not an ant,I must have made a mistake. I apologize for that too” She bowed and Oliver frowned
“I’m sorry” Jocelyn muttered
“Don’t apologize again!!!” Oliver yelled
“Okay” Jocelyn muttered
“Leave,you can go. Don’t come in unless I ask you to” Oliver said
Jocelyn walked out of the office immediately
As soon as She left,Oliver saw the soldier ant curling on his table and he almost lost his breath
“Jocelyn!!!!!!!!!!!!” He shouted
