Chapter 21
Mr. Godfrey looked at the two, they planned this, and the sly girl made him fall Into her trap, how could he have forgotten, she was a smart girl that always found her way out of any given situation back at the clubhouse,
From the way he replied he was beginning to doubt they both have this relationship together, he could have sworn he had met someone like bin at the clubhouse but he spoke exactly like Paxton, the stupid girl must have told him everything and brought him to show how narrow-minded he is.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sydney sat with confidence and Jaxton was pacing, which added to his discomfort, Sydney knew the man thought Jaxton was Paxton which was a good thing, the fear, Paxton was a feared man, from what he heard, his presence alone, was not a good thing.
“So I’ll go straight to the point and not beat around the bush. So I’ll say this once and for all, I am not just telling you, I am warning do not bother Sydney again and you might lose the contract we signed.
“But..? Jaxton threw him a glare,
” Did you not understand what I just said?” He questioned,
The smirk on Sydney’s face annoyed him to the core, he decided to spoil her market instead speaking up and said
“You may not know but She was a stripper, she lied to you and made you turn your back on me. We ought to be partners not fight over her” he sneered looking at her,
“Was that the best you got?” The smug look on her face, made his smirk grow upside down.
Jaxton laughed,
“Would I be here if I didn’t know?” Godfrey was shocked and knew there was nothing left to threaten Sydney. He was done for at the moment, the fact he tried to blackmail the poor girl to get what he wanted was unforgivable.
“I do know all your shady and dirty acts outside work and I k ow or won’t do your family hood if your wife gets to know out it, wouldn’t she? Another thing he feared was his wife, despite his promiscuity he loved his wife, and she had a greater share of his company which was handed down to her by her father, so he would reduce it to zero if she gets to hear of this, he had to beg,
” please leave my wife out of this, I’ll use it as blackmail again”.
Satisfied with the way he had warned him he turned to Sydney,
“Let’s go” he grabbed her hand and then he left with her. All the blood rushed to his gut as he almost collapse when they left.
As soon as they got to the door, she turned to him,
“You are something, your acting skills were on point. Did you consider acting to business as a profession?” She praised him, he opened the car for her to enter,
“Was I? It’s weird being my brother though” he answered
“I too was almost fooled, you acted coldly like Paxton which surprise me”
“Well, you can say that am pretty much a package” he winked his eyes at her.
They had dinner together that night at her favorite restaurant, While they are, he turned to her,
“What would you do if Paxton eventually finds out? Not that I’ll tell him but my brother is quite smart to be deceived” she stopped eating and then quietly said,
“I wonder most times what I would do if you were not there with me”
“One of these days you’ll have to come clean at him, Paxton hate lies more than ever.” The water brought the bills and he immediately paid off the waiter,
“Let’s worry about today and not tomorrow, right? She faked a smile.
After dinner, he drove her home, although he left his words stuck to her head,
” What if he found out? Was she that embarrassed to be stripped? No. It was the fact she had slept with his twin brother, that alone is deafening to the ears. She walked in had her bath and fell on her bed, or was 10 pm already, and she needed to be up early for work tomorrow, thinking back about today she was grateful she had met Jaxton, he may not show it often, but he cared
She had a good night’s sleep that day and was happy everything was good Sydney hopes her life keeps being this good. She closed her eyes and soon the darkness hovered over her taking her to the team land she was excited to be in.
*************
The next morning, Paxton was annoyed again. Sydney was shocked to meet the office in a mess she had no idea what happened again.
“What the problem sir?” She asked.
“Can everyone just let me be? Especially you! Your presence irritates me!!! Get the hell out!!!!”She stood then not offended by his words,
“Be must have had a bad night” she thought, looking at his mood, this was not the best time to tell him she wanted to co for a lunch break if not the walls of the building would surely collapse on her,
” I’ll be leaving sir,” she walked out, to see Miss Dana on the seat,
“He’s still in a bad mood, isn’t he? She questioned,
” but why? Is he ever in a good mood? Truth be told I do. Or know what he looks like when he smiles, ” Miss Dana smiled,
“Paxton is just overwhelmed with work and looking for a scapegoat to lash his anger on, so I advise you to stay away from him, or else you’ll fall, victim.” She turned her gaze to her laptop,
Paxton was annoyed and his anger is directed at her, and she had no idea what she had done this time, he seems tolerant with other staff and minded his words around them when he was upset but her case was always different, he scolded her every minute of the day, till she got accustomed by his constant shouting,
What exactly is the problem with you, with me, Paxton
