After spending a blissful morning together, Jean and Scott spent the whole afternoon working and attending video conferences. As Evan and Helen both are busy and couldn’t handle all the meetings Jean asked them to divert some important meetings to her.
Jean have already decided to shift the main branch from country X to country A, so after her marriage she can debut as official CEO of INA. Her skyscr.a.p.er is already in the finishing touches of the construction. It is a black mirrored spiral building with almost sixty floors, somewhat nearer to Grey corporations and little far from Cyphers.
She decided to debut on the opening ceremony of her main branch and by that time according to her predictions, she will be the CEO of Grey corporations.
Helen is now taking care of the construction and other things related to it. At first it should be Evan but after Shawn pleaded her she passed that responsibility to Helen. Now a days these both are meeting too often and seems like going along pretty well.
Hoping that the next wedding should be of them, Jean started getting ready for Sean’s and Sianna’s engagement.
…………….
In Country X
“Sure boss” Hope saluted. “If you give me a kiss” she mumbled under her breath
Enrick almost choked listening to her wish, she might be the first person who is brave enough to ask him that.
“What did you say” he asked her again.
He knew that she is straight forward and not like others who use to fake their character just to please him.
“Nothing. Probably I got distracted again. But boss I will focus on surgery if you just wear your glasses and not look at me directly” Hope pouted.
Enrick laughed at her cute action and later realized that this is the first time he laughed after a long time.
“Boss, your laugh is giving my heart this weird sensation. Is there any medicine you can prescribe” she asked.
Enrick is rendered speechless again, this girl is really too carefree and playful, which he is missing in his own life.
“He is not a love doctor Hope” Jeff smirked.
“But I know the medicine Boss Jeff” Hope giggled.
Enrick felt a sudden happy feeling as he listened her melodious giggle. He didn’t understand what that feeling is, because he never felt it till now.
Not even with Jean…
“What is it, Love doctor Hope” Jeff teased.
“A emotional kiss” Hope blushed.
Enrick felt his heart shudder but looked at her with dangerous glint, instantly making her run away.
Both might not have understood what that glint is, but Jeff did…
…….
At the late evening…
Though the engagement is planned very grandly there is no liveliness in it. The party is lavish and many important people have arrived. Yet it felt like something is missing.
The most important essence of the event…love between the couple.
Sean has his most faked smile plastered to his face, but his eyes spoke the truth that he don’t give any f.u.c.k to what is happening now. It is just like a business deal for him with the extra perk….a twenty four seven rage buster….Sianna.
Though Sianna wore a beautiful dress and had her perfect make up done, she looked like a beggar who is deprived of peace of mind.
Unlike how the guests felt at Nathan’s and Raymond’s marriage they hoped that this event will complete soon. It is just too boring just quite opposite to the cheeriness in the precious weddings.
Jean and Scott are feeling extremely bored with the absence of their friends, that they wanted to excuse themselves and go back to bed early.
However just to save them from this boredom, Kim and Hannah joined them on the table. Hannah seemed quite nervous as this is her first time to attend a high class party like this.
At first she declined Kim’s request but later on she decided to attend. It is because she has something to talk with Jean..
“So Kim, how is it going on in your end. Is it going as we planned..” Scott asked.
“Well, everything is fine Scott. Sianna and her brother are so pissed off and have started showing their true colors to Elder Sheldon. If it continues in this way I am sure that they will be disowned given with his temper” Kim chuckled.
“How about Sianna and Sean. Is their relationship going ‘harmonious and smooth’ as ever.” Scott smirked in mockery.
Jean snickered at listening to his words. She didn’t understand why he is so savage with Sean and Sianna, but she loved it anyway.
“It is very good that Sean has a permanent girlfriend next door with whom he will be spending all his happy moments. Once, his mood worsen he will be back to Sianna and vent out his anger. He is even having one night stands with other girls. The worst part is they are some of Sianna’s friends.” Kim chuckled.
Jean rolled her eyes but she didn’t feel pity for a woman who played with many innocent life’s by recording their s.e.x tapes. What she is facing now is called Karma. She still remember what Scott said, Sianna is part of the plan for the painful death of Kim’s mother.
As they immersed in talking business, Hannah mustered up her energy to talk with Jean about something she is deeply regretting.
Shifting near to Jean she looked at Jean with guilt.
“Jean, I have to tell you something. Before that I want you to know that whatever I did is to save my father” she sighed.
“The first talk you had with Raymond in Cyphers is recorded and leaked by me. You also might be wondering about how your files use to get switched with blank ones, it is also done by me. The day you got kidnapped by Jasor, I was the person who informed about your location to the abductors.” Her voice choked up.
