"you think?" she asked
"yes I mean look at it, he cares for you and Christopher a lot, do you even see the way he defends you in front of everyone" she said and turned to her
"look Jane I'm not saying this because he's my brother or I'm trying to make excuses for him, my brother went through a lot after Angel, that's why he suddenly became the way he his cold, distant, arrogant and without emotions
but he's telling you that he likes you, that's a whole lot if you ask me, I think he has been so hurt in the past that he doesn't know how to love again and I think he's so scared to open up again
please be patient with him, I know this is selfish of me to ask, but I don't know give him time I think he really likes you and he just doesn't know it and just like what dad said you should follow your heart" she concluded
Jane heaved a big sigh she honestly doesn't know what to believe or think
"hmm I don't know I think I just need to clear my head" she said
"yea you should" Grace agreed
"we should go inside it's getting cold already" Grace urged Jane and they both left to go inside the mansion
as they both went upstairs, they heard Chris's voice
"Jane" he called her and she froze on the spot she really didn't feel like seeing him right now, she just wants to be left alone
"uhmm I will leave you two alone" Grace said and quickly climbed the stairs to go to her room but she quickly went to hide so as to see what they were doing
Jane was left alone, she had no choice than to turn and look at him
"I've looked for you everywhere, where were you?" he asked her
"I was in the garden with miss Grace" she said and turned to leave but Chris stopped her by holding her hands
Jane couldn't resist his touch so she reacted, how much she really wanted to kiss him right now, her heart was really conflicting with her mind, it was like she was going insane, if she doesn't leave here she might fall into his arms soon
"I want to go to bed" she said
"you are clearly avoiding me" he said, the other time you said you were going to your room but you went to the garden instead" he said
Grace was trying her best to hear everything they were saying but she couldn't hear much and she can't let them know she was eavesdropping on their conversation
"hey Jane I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you I didn't mean to" he said
Jane looked at him, she didn't know what to say anymore, she just stood there
Chris moved closer to her and held her face in his hands "I miss you" and before Jane could say anything more he slammed his lips on her
they kissed for very long until they were breathlessly, Chris finally let her go
"we will talk about tomorrow, I really am tired" she said and walked away from him
"Jane Jane come back here" he called out to her but she didn't say anything she just walked away
seeing that she was coming upstairs, Grace quickly hid herself among the curtains, she didn't want to get caught
Chris was so frustrated, he didn't know what else to do to make her come around, she was like a hard nut to crack
Grace witnessed everything and her lips curved into a smile, she suddenly had a plan
in the other side of town Angel was in her father's room making plans with him
"you should call Patricia now, we need to set everything in motion" Jonas said
"alright dad" Angel said, she picked her phone and called Patricia
"hey girlfriend" she greeted sarcastically
"what do you want Angel, you never call unless you want something" Patrica said
"fine, since you don't like me being nice to you, I just want to remind you of today's discussion find out when your darling husband will be collecting the result from the lab, I need you to get your hands on it before anyone at all" Angel explained
"he's not back when he gets back from work I will talk to him about it, just remember if this backfires count me out" Patricia said
"don't worry it won't, as long as you don't snitch on us of which you know the consequences" Angel said threatening her
' is this bitch threatening me? ' she thought in her mind but didn't say anything she just hung up the call
the phone was on speaker so Jonas heard everything
"you both are still going in with your cat and dog fight since high school" Jonas mocked them
"don't worry about it dad, she just can't get over the fact that I hooked up with Chris instead of her" she said
"too bad for her cause you will be his wife very soon" Jonas said
"exactly I can't wait to have the ring on my finger and be addressed as Mrs Smith isn't that wonderful?" she giggled
"I hope you are not starting to fall in love with him, remember why you are doing this it's so we can take over what belongs to us after all these years of working with Williams I deserve to be the president and not that boy" he said
"of course not dad, I understand perfectly well" she said and quickly stood up to go to her room
