NEXT DAY***
MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
Hailey entered Charles’ office with a coffee in her hand. He arrived not quite long.
“Here’s your coffee, sir,” she said.
He nodded and collected it from her.
They left the house very early in the morning. He dropped her at her house before driving to his own.
“I hope you haven’t forgotten about our trip tomorrow,” he said.
Hailey gasped inwardly. She has totally forgotten about that.
“You should get your things ready, we’ll be leaving tomorrow by 9am” he said.
She nodded.
“How long are we gonna stay there?” She asked.
“Three days,” he replied.
“Okay, I’ll put that in mind,” she said.
“Last night….”
Hailey’s breath hitched when he mentioned that. She has been trying her best to forget about the night, especially the kiss scene.
“I just did what I was supposed to do” she quickly said.
“You did great. How about lunch together?” He asked.
“I don’t think I can do that, I have something to do,” she said.
“Okay. You can go” Charles said.
She went out of the office and breathed out loudly. That was when she realized she has been holding her breath since.
“What’s wrong with me?” She muttered, rubbing her chest.
“I think I’m going nuts,” she mumbled.

WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL***
“Layla, we need to talk,” Wyatt said as he walked to Layla’s seat.
“I don’t have anything to say to you” Layla said emotionlessly.
“Seriously? You really think you can just end things with me this way?” He asked, raising his voice slightly.
“Why? Don’t I have the right to?” She asked back, glaring at him angrily.
“You called me a bìtch, Wyatt! You hurt me!” She shouted.
Wyatt rubbed his hair aggressively.
“I’m sorry, okay? I was just out of my senses and…”
“You keep saying that! You keep hurting me just in the name that you were out of your senses!” Layla screamed.
That caught the student’s attention as they all focused on them.
“Is it because I like you? Is that why you keep treating me this way?” She asked bitterly.
? What’s going on?
? Are they having issues already?
Jaime was watching what was going on, Mickey and Lilian were beside him.
“Are they having issues now?” Micky asked.
“Is he hurting her?” Lilian wondered aloud.
She faced Jaime who was busy staring at Layla and Wyatt.
“Let’s leave this class” Wyatt grabbed Layla’s hand but she quickly jerked it off.
“Don’t touch me,” she said.
“Let’s leave please, we need to talk” he said, holding her hand again.
“I told you not to touch me!” She shouted.
“She asked you not to touch her, aren’t you being too aggressive?” Jaime asked.
He freed Layla’s hands from Wyatt’s and held it on his own.
“Stay out of this. This is none of your business” Wyatt gritted out.
“Too bad I can’t do that. You should be ashamed of yourself for hurting her” Jaime said before dragging Layla out of the class.
“That bastard!” Wyatt fumed.
“I knew he was gonna interfere” Micky muttered.
He glanced at Lilian who wasn’t saying a word.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yea” she smiled shortly before facing the entrance of the class.

Immediately they walked out of the class, Layla stopped walking and removed her hand from Jaime’s. He turned to look at her.
“You shouldn’t have interfered,” she muttered.
“Is that jerk hurting you?” He asked.
Layla kept quiet. His eyes went to her hand and it widened when he saw how red it was.
He grabbed her hand and she winced in pain.
“What’s this? Was he the one who did this to you?” He half yells.
“Does he even love you at all?”
“I broke up with him,” she mumbled.
“What?”
“He keeps treating me like I’m forcing myself on him” she sniffs.
“I couldn’t take it anymore so I ended it” she said.
“I’m sorry about that”
She shook her head.
“Don’t be. Thanks for taking my side, Jaime” she said.
Jaime smiled at her.

DEL ROSA’S MANSION***
Alberto stared at his reflection in the mirror as he knotted his tie.
Stephanie appeared behind him and crossed her arms around his chest.
“Why do you need to see Charles?” She asked.
“Why are you so worried about that?” He asked.
“Why shouldn’t I? I’m your girlfriend and I deserve to know what you do” Stephanie said.
“You’re my girlfriend not my wife so cut that off” he said.
He picked his phone and it rang at that time.
“What?” He muttered when he picked the call
“What! How did this happen?!” He yelled.
“I’m coming right now and you need to get everything back to its place or else I’m gonna ki|| you” he shouted angrily before ending the call.
He picked his jacket and went out of the room. Stephanie followed him.
“What happened? What was the call all about?” She asked.
“I need to get going, I don’t think I’ll be seeing Charles today, maybe some other time” he said and went out of the house.
“He just loves keeping to himself. Does it look like I care too?” She scoffed.

MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
“The dinner, how was it?” Jace asked as he and Charles spoke over the phone.
Charles smiled.
“Perfect” he muttered.
“Tell me more about it,” Jace said.
“There’s nothing for you to know so stop being nosy”
Jace frowned.
“Really? Is that it?” He asked.
“Yea. I need to go, later” Charles muttered and ended the call.
He heard a knock on the door.
“Come in,” he said.
A lady entered, she smiled and walked to him.
“Hi Charles” she waved.
Charles frowned. Did Hailey actually allow a lady to enter his office?
“What are you doing here?” He asked coldly.
“I’m glad you can still remember. You suddenly tossed me aside after that heavenly night so I decided to see you myself” she said.
“Get out of my office,” Charles said.
“Why? I still want more of you, you were so sweet that night that I get wet whenever I think of you” she smiled, stylishly moving closer to him.
The normal Charles would have turned her over the table and drilled her hole wildly. But that wasn’t it this time around. All he felt was total disgust.
“Who allowed you in?” He asked, staring at her angrily.
Hailey will surely hear from him when the Ɓîtçh is finally gone.
“No one. I came in myself” the lady smiled and sat on his legs.
“How about a hot steamy s*x in the office?” She bit her lips segzily.
“You can f-__-k my p**sy anyhow you want” she whispered before crashing her lips on his.
Before Charles could react, Hailey entered the office and her eyes widened when she saw the sight in front of her.
Charles quickly pushed the lady off him causing her to fall on her b**t.
“Hailey, it’s not…”
“I’m sorry for interrupting you sir, please continue what you were doing” Hailey said hurtingly before rushing out of the office.
She ran to the restroom and she rested her back on the door.
“How dare he?” She mumbled.
She could feel her heart shattering into pieces and she doesn’t even know why.
“Why am I feeling this way?” She clutched her chest tightly and a single tear escaped her eyes.
