Jason's POV
I was on my way to the office this afternoon, Emma was already in the kitchen having breakfast with her boyfriend apparently, after what happened last night, she called my grandpa and he was already here this morning, I honestly hate how they're always treating me like am going to snap at any moment, because am not.

"I thought I told you your boyfriend can't stay here," I walked in to the two of them making out by the sink.

"First of all his name is Travis and he's not staying here," she defended.

''Well it sure feels like it.'' I answered them before heading out to the living room "is grandad still here?"

"Can you please go, I want to be alone," she spoke from the kitchen.

"You better not do anything on this couch," I shrug at the thought of her and her boyfriend, he was a bit taller than me and had dreads on, he was average in height and I heard he's a senior, I hate the fact she's getting it more than I am.

"Please go!"

****
Honestly working between two different offices is getting to me, so I decided to handover my law firm to my grandad for the time being so i could put my plan into motion and win Annabelle back, I told the receptionist to call her and tell her the package is ready and she can come pick it up at the office, I knew she'll definitely be here any moment, she's desperate and this way I can see her, she'll never see this coming.

Annabelle's POV
I was at the office today checking the store at the second floor for the new stock that arrived, the sales girl inform me that more people have been asking for, and I was yet to receive any news about my package, I definitely did a mistake not collecting the man's number.

I was with Kelly and henry, after getting myself together yesterday, Chad has been the one moving with me before I finally stopped by the office and I sent for Kelly, Henry came with my car after I told Chad he could go home, they're having a family gathering today, they'll be going on vacation this weekend, sadly I still haven't met them, we're taking it slow so I won't be with him during his long vacation, I can't even begin to think how it will feel without him here.

"Anna you have a call," Kelly comes up to me who was by the door leaving already.

"What did you just say?" I turn to her immediately.

"You have a call." she simply replied still not getting my point.

I collected the phone from her and spoke with the other receiver, she told me my package was ready and I could come pick it up, I wasn't even expecting it to be resolved this early, but I was definitely excited about it, at least now I know after this I won't be going back there.

I decided to take Kelly and Henry with me, it's not like I wanted to go alone, i made sure they were well dressed before we made it into town, on the drive there I kept thinking about Jason and the fun we had in this neighbourhood, i still couldn't get over the fact that I saw him yesterday and i still couldn't say what I wanted to say to him.

We got to R's Corp and I told them to wait while I go in and figure out what is going on first, as usual the rude receptionist was at the counter, going through when I walked pass her, I already knew where the office was I definitely didn't want any more drama, i went to the elevator and up to the last floor, I went to the office I was in the last time, I knocked and no one answered, the girl beside the table outside didn't even bother asking who I was looking for so I walk back to her desk to question her.

"Uhmm, do you work here?" I came straight at her.

"Yes do you have a problem?" she studied me from head to toe before screaming "OMG you're the Annabelle Rowland, owner of belles enterprise?" She squeaks in delight, but I wasn't exactly at fan mood now.

"Do I need to remind you how to do your job?, you see me walking by and not a slight thought came to you, I don't know asking who I was looking for? and where I was headed?" I immediately sparked "moreover aren't you suppose to be his assistant I suppose?" I finish off fixing my hair abit which was messed off from all the wiggling I was doing with my hair.

"Am so sorry, did you come to see Mr Russo?" She looked frightened already.

"Take a wild guess," I roll my eyes, I know i look crazy and i needed to be nicer to people, but things just don't go my way and I've become so ocd now, I always flip out if things aren't exactly how I wanted it to be.

"Am sorry, I'll let him know you're here." she picks up the receiver and makes a call before facing me now "you can go in now." she announced.

I was about going into the office by the left when she stopped me.

''He's not around today, that's his grandads office, the owner's office is by the right ma'am," now it all makes sense, the person I met was the grandad, no wonder he was old, I manage to give her a smile at least before going into the office I was directed to.

Jason's POV
I could hear footsteps approaching my doors, and I knew belle was here, my assistant called and confirmed with me so i was waiting for her any moment from now, to make it a bit interesting, my chair was facing the window, so when she walks in I'll be facing the back, all she'll hear is my voice.

"Hello Mr Russo?" she said the moment she walked in, the entire office took a sweet aroma mixed with a lavender scent and strawberries, I never got over that.

"Yes please sit," I simply answered deepening my voice to be more anonymous.

"Am sorry but I can't see you, are you aware you're facing backwards?" she stutters through every word, I could tell she felt intimidated and I liked it.

"What brings you here?" I ignored her statement, which made her even more nervous, cause I could hear the tapping of her feet so I decided to taunt her a little "can you please stop that, it's oddly annoying."

"So--rry it's just that I-I-well my package i was told to come pick it up today," her voice came out sharp at the end.

"Oh!" I simply said before turning my seat over to face her, he reaction was golden, definitely not what she was expecting.

"Jason?! you have got to be kidding me." she let's out, putting her hands over her head in a confuse state.

I just kept staring at her. I had to admit, seeing her now with all the natural light she looked even more beautiful than I remembered, I just kept thinking of how to jump up and give her a kiss at the spot, feel those lips of hers against mine, and that body, those curves, everything of hers was absolutely perfect, I was busy thinking about that I didn't notice how uncomfortable she looked at me, probably because she noticed how I was obviously undressing her with my eyes.

"Am sorry, what were you saying?" I catch my breath last minute.

"I can't believe it, how did I not see this coming Russo, of course it's you, I just can't believe I was dumb enough to not relate with you," she sparked at me, even when she's yelling I can't help but admire her "are you even listening to me" she cuts me off my fantasies again.

"What, uhmm can you repeat that again?" I manage to say.

"Unbelievable! Can I please get my things, am in a hurry and I don't have time for your games," she stood up already making it to the door.

"Wait?!" I stand up to follow her, she was by the door, while I was right in front of her.

"What are you trying to do?" She looks up at me, I was extremely close to her and I was already tempted to kiss her, but I knew my boundaries and I definitely didn't want to cross that.

"For your information I just wanted opening the door for you." I lied "I'll have my assistant deliver it to you." I finish it off.

"Thank you!" she walks out mumbling to herself.

Happily thinking to myself that my plan worked, I was definitely excited to see her again.
