Jane was hard at work, she attended to customers and everyone noticed she was happier these days.
The smile on her face was genuine and her body language was more confident.
But there was a co-worker who had previously confessed to Jane but she politely turned him down as she didn’t like the idea of workplace relationships and also because she wasn’t attracted to him.
However, the man couldn’t be mad because of how Jane did it and her attitude towards him didn’t change either so their friendship wasn’t lost.
He had taken a break to go see his family back in Chicago and only just returned.
“What’s gotten into her?” He asked one of his coworkers.
“You haven’t heard, Mike? Jane has a boyfriend!” The lady revealed like she was dying to reveal this piece of information.
“Boyfriend?” Mike muttered to himself. It hadn’t been long since he confessed to her so this news took him by surprise even though there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn’t ask any more questions as he knew he would only be hurting his feelings but he also didn’t believe that Jane was in a relationship.
“I wasn’t ready for one… ” Mike remembered her words like they were said to him yesterday despite it already being months.
But Jane was different from the last time he saw her so maybe this was the truth.
The lady who revealed this information nudged him slightly.
“Hey, didn’t she reject you?” She mocked him but all Mike did was take a deep breath to stop himself from crashing out.
” He bought her a new phone and a MacBook, we were all in awe and guess who made the first move? It was Jane!” The lady pressed on, determined to get under Mike’s skin. This lady was called Rose.
“Now I know you’re messing around. There’s no way she would do that,” Mike dismissed this as the relief on his face was proof that he truly believed the words that came out of his mouth.
Rose simply smiled, looking right at him but wouldn’t say another word.
She wanted him to witness it for himself, she wanted to see how he would react.
Rose backed off, watching Mike approach Jane.
Jane was all smiles, Rose didn’t know if Jane was naive or oblivious to the fact that Mike was attracted to her and you couldn’t be friends with someone you have rejected.
Mike then tried to get with Ella but she didn’t even pay him any attention resulting in the famous double L.
Ella, of course, never told Jane because guys hit on her all of the time and there was no way that she would act as some sort of rebound.
Mike watched Jane from the corner of his eye, entertaining the idea that what Rose told him could be true the moment he caught Jane giggling at her phone.
“How long have I been gone…” Mike thought to himself.

Calista got cleaned up but a feeling of dread overcame her the moment she opened his refrigerator.
It was leftovers and nothing that looked healthy, just what one would expect from a bachelor.
She wanted to take her time to cook him a meal, that would surely surprise him but she got a call soon enough.
Calista picked up without checking who it was and to her utmost surprise, it was the man she had seen earlier that day.
“Lucas Rossini!?” Calista thought to herself.
“[[Hello Miss Wave, I hope I caught you at a good time.]]
Lucas began the conversation but Calista was still shocked that this was even happening.
“H-Hello Mr. Rossini, this is a good time…” Calista responded, her heart was beating because she knew this was about the role she had applied for earlier that day.
There was no way that he would call her just to inform her that she didn’t get the role so this had to be good news.
[[ Excellent, I want to be the first to congratulate you on getting the role of Rachel.]]
Lucas informed Calista, she almost let out a scream but quickly composed herself, she couldn’t believe this was happening.
“Thank you so much!” Calista showed her gratitude, the excitement evident in her voice.
[[But I would like to see you personally in my office so we can discuss further on what I expect from my character, Rachel.]]
Lucas informed her, that Calista saw nothing wrong with this nor did she give it too much thought because of the adrenaline pumping through her.
“I will be right on my way, Mr. Rossini!” Calista exclaimed, ready to go meet him straight away before he changed his mind.
[[Please, call me Lucas. Rossini is my father.]]
Lucas said but this created a crack in professionalism and subtly hinted at him wanting to become a lot more familiar with Calista.
“S-Sorry, I will be right there Lucas,” Calista responded before the phone call dropped.
” AHHHHH!!! I GOT THE PART!” She screamed at the top of her lungs but quickly clasped her lips shut because she knew that this might cause some trouble for Kyle.
She proceeded to exit the apartment but while walking down the hallway, she ran into Aiysha.
Calista didn’t even acknowledge the lady and walked past her with a wild smile on her face.
Aiysha just stood there, watching her like she had discovered a new specimen while trying to get into her apartment.
” I wish someone told him the walls are thin…” Aiysha muttered to herself implying that she had heard the fuck session that had just transpired between both of them but how good must Kyle be to not only get a woman as young and beautiful as that to be his sugar mommy but moan like a wild animal.
“So that’s his girlfriend…” Aiysha thought to herself, she was impressed that he could land someone as gorgeous as that but she wasn’t surprised she fell for him.
Kyle had his way with words.
And respond accordingly, thank you
