The Weight of Her Confession

The CEO of Payton Corporations is an idiot rich boy who is rumoured to be a playboy. He founded the financial service business years ago when he was a student at Stanford and has been expanding ever since. 

I am not in the least jealous that she was on a date with him. Not at all. 

Brittany walked in front of me as we got off the elevator, leaving me in full view of her immaculate shape. 

"Do you even know where my office is?"

She didn't stop a step as she walked straight to my assistant "I studied the structure of major buildings in California when I started working in Endless glamour. Besides, we just got off a private elevator. " 

All this while, she still didn't wait for me. She got to my assistant and I watched as realisation drew on my assistant's face.

"I and Lucas go way back. And I don't appreciate how you talk to me when I call. But I know it is a misunderstanding, right?"
