Resume of Romance

Great start... Abeg make boss @t-dak or my Director(@khola46) come do their ishe ...

EPISODE TWO "Look miss, is my brother Jayson Braxton inside your bed in there that's all I need to know?" He responds derisively. "Excuse me?" Rylie blusters while gripping the doorknob. Mentally she contemplates how much force it will take to push him off of her doorstep. Why oh why doesn't she have a big dog for moments like this. "Okay lady, listen I'm going to explain it to you like your five. I'm tired, I'm hungry and my first day at work has been pure hell. Can you just tell my brother to bring his ass out of your house and we'll never have to see each other again." He says sarcastically no longer caring if she's offended. Rylie scowls at him. "Uhm.... I don't like you very much but since you seem to be here to fire me I guess I've got nothing to lose by telling you that?" Her voice shakes with anger. "Right, well...maybe if you let me in we can discuss your pending employment?" He offers turning around still finding the guy with the dog in the same spot trying to listen to their conversation. Rylie follows his gaze waving at her nosy neighbor. "Oh alright come on in." She says dryly stepping back to let him in. His cologne scent drifts across her nostrils as he passes her making her feel heady and more nervous. Does he have to smell so good? He seems to fill up her small foyer. She feels uncomfortable in the confined space with his deep striking eyes watching her. Closing the door and locking it she guides him into the rest of her townhouse. She knows his eyes are glued to her ass but there's nothing she can do about how she's dressed. She's very aware of the slapping sound her house slippers make on the hardwood floor as she walks she's glad he can't see her pained expression. Stopping in her living room she offers him a seat he prefers to stand. "I know who you are, I don't know why you are firing me on my doorstep?" Rylie says. Chace has had time to calm down he can smell something wonderful cooking. He has seen her at some of their conference meetings and in Jayson's office before. He's a bit surprised that it's her she seems to smart and ambitious to get caught up with someone like his brother. "I appreciate that you let me in your door. Now...if you will tell my brother to come out wherever he is so that I can speak with him." He says looking around her home. "And what if I can't produce your brother, am I still fired?" She isn't about to let her job go so easily. "You seem to value your job a lot maybe you should have thought of it before you crawled into bed with a married man." He glares at her. Rylie glares back at him. She regrets the day she asked Monique to pick her up from work while Monique's car was being serviced. Rylie told her older sister to take her car for the day. Monique showed up early to pick her up. When it was time for Rylie to leave work she went to Jayson's office to tell him only to find Monique sitting in his visitor's chair unashamedly flirting with him. He looked totally enraptured by her. Rylie is aware that Jayson's father has grown weary of his son's escapades she thought he didn't know about Monique but the six- foot three hunk of a man standing impatiently in her living room throwing insults at her disproves that. Since Jayson's return to his family's company two years ago their father has instituted a campaign to make him and his brother's faces synonymous with the Braxton name. They have some family resemblance to each of their parents, Jayson is classically handsome with his dark brown hair and grey eyes looking very much like his deceased mother in the pictures he showed Rylie while his older brother Chace Braxton is more complicated to describe. This man emotes testosterone in his every move. His sharp features make up an unusually handsome face. His thick dark hair is noticeably contrasted to his ocean blue eyes enhanced more by the scar close to his right eye. A large nose and sensual lips round out his very masculine face.

Nice start. Following!!!!

EPISODE THERE Rylie's never actually been introduced to him. He's usually working out of their New York location none of his visits to see Jayson seem to be just because, the few times she's seen him he is chastising Jayson for not showing up to family events or missing important meetings. Clearing her dry throat Rylie tries again. "Mr. Braxton, I can appreciate that you are upset sir and I can understand you think I'm just concerned about my job, well I am concerned about it, but...well....you see...I'm...I'm not...." Abruptly he cuts her off. "How long have you worked for my brother anyway?" He snaps. Rylie puts her tongue in her cheek to keep from taking his surly head off. "I've known and worked for him for almost two years." She says stiffly. "Did he hire you or inherit you from another department?" Is his unanticipated rapid follow-up question. Rylie doesn't know why he's asking but her frustration with him has reached breaking point. "Thank you for making me feel valued as one of your loyal employees Mr. Braxton. You show up at my house threatening me with my job if I don't produce your wayward brother for you like I'm his babysitter. You really don't know my name but I'm sure you can now pick my ass out of a lineup. For your information, I have been one of your loyal employee's for four years. I didn't want to stay late tonight, I really just wanted to get home and cook this meal. You see I had this recipe and I've been holding on to it for a very long time. I couldn't think about working on the Caldwell case another minute today after he tried to pinch me on the ass this morning. I mean I'm a hard worker you know, but I'm sick of Mr. Caldwell and his flirting. He thinks he's so irresistible because he has money but he's really just a garlic breathing old fart. I wanted one night off, just one and....and....." Rylie looks up catching a glimpse of his face. His hands are in his pockets he seems to be listening although he's wearing a deep scowl, she stops rambling. "To answer your question, no your brother did not inherit me, I unfortunately inherited him but you're not a stupid man, I'm sure you already know the answers to the questions you're asking me." She finishes in a deep sigh to his scowling stare. "Who's Mr. Caldwell?" He says so calmly she almost thinks he's being nice. "Huh...he's the owner of Syntax Technologies. We're buying some apps from them." She informs him. "Mm, not their company just the apps, how much is the account?" He inquires. "They wanted twelve million apiece for four apps, I've got them down to eight." She responds with a nod of her head feeling proud of herself. "And my brother hasn't been around to help you with this deal?" "Well...uh?" She doesn't want to snitch. "Are you my brother's mistress?" He simply ask her. "No Mr. Braxton." She fidgets with her hands then puts them behind her back looking up into the purest pair of round obsidian blue eyes she's ever seen. "Chace." He says aware that she's still nervous about him. "What...?" She says seeming confused. "Chace, my name is Chace. Mr. Braxton is my father." He responds unsure if she's lying he has no way of knowing whether she's telling the truth.

EPISODE FOUR "What are you cooking?" The smirk is momentarily gone she feels like she achieved something but she's still wary of him. She doesn't know if he believes her but he's no longer as intimidating as he was in her doorway. He's really a lot to take in up close. She did turn the oven off but she's feeling really warm anyway. "It's just some...Chicken Cacciatore with Polenta. You.... want to stay for dinner? It might be the last meal I have since I'm you know fired and won't be able to purchase essentials like food anymore?" She quips causing him to roll his eyes. "Oh alright, you're not fire...." He stubbornly says trying to maintain his coldness but she's chipping away at it. She watches him closely. "Yes." She lets slip out doing a little hop in her house shoes squealing then catches herself when he looks down at them she notices his lop-sided grin. "Don't celebrate yet you didn't let me finish. I don't know if you can cook, you might be planning to poison me. I mean I'm not too clear on your name. You say you work for my brother and I've seen you in his office and at some of our meetings. Despite what you think I have noticed more than your very nice ass." He replies. Now would be a perfect time for a phone to ring, doorbell to buzz or a hole in the floor to swallow her up, anything to happen to get her away from this magnetic man but it doesn't. All Rylie can do is blush in front of him. "I'm Rylie Cameron, soon to be a former assistant project manager for Braxton Holdings." Rylie holds out her hand to shake his. He looks at her small hand offered, taking it in his larger smooth one with a firm grip he shakes it. "Pleased to meet you Assistant Project Manager Rylie Cameron. I'm assuming it's Miss, is it?" He ask looking up at her stairway. "Yes, it is. I really don't know where your brother is Mr. Braxt....uhm...Chace. I haven't heard from him in almost a week. "Uh-huh, but you do know who he's with and her name. Who is she and where are they?" Chace holds onto her hand. "Uh..." Rylie tries to take her hand back but he won't let go. "Her name Rylie?" He's got a firm grip on her hand looking down at her with those eyes. "Her name is Monique." Rylie feels like she's answered his question but he's still staring at her and holding her hand. "Monique what?" He finally lets her hand go she holds it behind her back. He's going to find out anyway, she might as well get it over with. "Her name is Monique Cameron she's my sister why don't you go freshen up maybe throw some water on your shocked face. The bathroom's right over there then I'll feed you and you can tell me all about the severance package your company is going to give me." She rushes off into the kitchen away from him, he doesn't know where to look of course his eyes end up looking at her retreating backside. Rylie is glad to have escaped to her kitchen alone for a few minutes. The last time she saw Jayson he had come into her office and sat down on the edge of her desk to talk. He was excited about a trip he had planned for he and Monique to have some quality time together. He told Rylie he thought he was in love with Monique. Rylie didn't encourage him, she knows her sister doesn't feel the same. After Chace comes out of her bathroom he stops at a hallway table that has only one picture on it. It's of an older man and woman. He can see the resemblance in Rylie it must be her parents. Strangely it's the only picture he sees around her downstairs there are no pictures of a sister.

they may be half sisters...interesting

Yea ah don show @T-dak thankx 4 d invite

EPISODE FIVE Rylie keeps her word about feeding him, she knows he's starving she heard his stomach grumble. She gets relaxed around him enough to ask him if he's just another pretty face like his brother or does he have enough knife skills to slice up vegetables to put in a salad while she makes the polenta. He takes off his jacket laying it neatly across one of her dining room chairs. She tries her best not to ogle him as he rolls up the sleeves on his expensively tailored dress shirt. She blushes again when she sees his chef like knife skills having no idea he is so capable. They have a civil conversation about work Rylie does her best to keep the conversation away from talking about their sibling's affair. Before leaving her house about three hours later he tells her to be on time for work tomorrow he knows she's been late the last couple of days. He's still thinking about her in those shorts when he gets to his new home. ************** -So what do you think, he stayed to have dinner with her in spite of believing she's not telling him everything. You think he's going to fire her? I'm going to try to keep this as romantic as possible but if you've read my other stories then you know it's going to have some cliche twist, a whole lot of crazy drama and some unique characters. It will be more of a romance than the other stories maybe...I'll leave that up to the readers to decide watch out for chapter two

Gracias @T-DAK,interestin one u got here @japhetsoj....keep it rollin!

Interesting

Thanks bro. @T-dak

nice one

Thanks 4 iniviting me@t-dak

CHAPTER TWO EPISODE ONE The next morning after Rylie gets through the security check point she walks to a kiosk to get herself a coffee hoping to wake up. "Rylie?" The woman stands about two feet near her with a haughty expression on her face. Rylie screws up her face recognizing the voice. She can hear her six inch stilettos scrape the marbled floor as she walked up behind her. Rylie turns around to face Carolyn Limerick. They started out working for Braxton Holdings at the same time only Carolyn's been promoted several times reaching the executive level. She doesn't miss an opportunity to rub it in whenever she and Rylie come into contact with one another which is too often for Rylie. "Hello Carolyn, what can I do for you?" Rylie grabs a sugar packet from the condiment's stand to open, pour it in her cup stirring it in her coffee deftly. "Aren't you supposed to be in Oz with Jayson?" Carolyn sounds cordial to her while still being noisy. "No Carolyn, I'm right where I'm supposed to be or almost. I have a meeting in an hour so if you'll excuse me." Rylie dismisses her as fast as she can throwing her used stirrer in the trashcan. "Rylie, wait a minute, I know we don't like each other we never will if I'm honest. The buzz around this place is that Jayson's brother is going to be managing the company from this location for a while. Rumors are flying he's not bringing all of his personal staff with him he's picking a new team from here. I thought you might know more about it?" Carolyn looks at Rylie expectantly. "Carolyn, I don't know what you're talking about, if you're trying to confirm some office gossip I can't do that for you. I have to go." Rylie says dryly. Carolyn scowls at her. "Do you always have to be such a bitch about everything Ry? I don't even know why I talk to you, face it you'll never catch up to me in this company." Carolyn huffs at her. Rylie frowns back at her. "Carolyn you stopped me I didn't stop you to have a conversation." Carolyn rolls her eyes at her. "You know what forget it you obviously don't know what's going on around here that's why they're going to break up you're department." Carolyn grabs a couple of napkins from the napkin dispenser as Rylie stares at her. "What are you talking about?" Rylie ask her not understanding. "Never mind Rylie, find out on your own." Carolyn marches off with her coffee and a napkin stuck on the bottom of her stiletto heel. Rylie would normally get some satisfaction out of telling her but she lets it go. Taking the elevator to her floor she gets off rushing down the hall to her office to be greeted by her personal assistant, Beth. "Hey, you're early?" Beth says with a smile. "Uh...yeah morning." Rylie greets her walking into her office she sits at her desk rubbing her fingers across her forehead. Hitting her intercom she calls "Beth..." "Yeah Ry? Beth's cheerful voice comes back to her. "Has Mr. Braxton called...uh...Jayson?" "No....but I heard from his brother just now. He wanted to know what time your department meeting is this morning. I didn't tell him you were in yet, I didn't know if you wanted some time to yourself first. You're usually not in this early when Jayson's not here." "Yeah...ahem....I'll be in at this time from now on. Was Mr. Braxton.... Chace in his new office when you spoke to him?" Rylie takes a shot, what could it hurt. Her assistant seems to know everything going on around here anyway. It's the only way she stays informed.

Rylie and Chace in the same company now...Gotta be romantic

wow getting more interesting. You are all welcomed.

Thanks for inviting me? T-dak...... Next please

Next plsssssssssssss

EPISODE TWO "I didn't want to say anything but I was wondering if you knew." Beth replies over the intercom. Rylie gets up from her desk and goes out to Beth's desk surprising her. "If I knew what Beth?" Rylie says. Beth's been her and Jayson's personal assistant for two years. She's loyal but she's also younger than Rylie by three years at twenty-three and likes to party with some of the other younger assistants. They go out after work a lot to drink and gossip. "You're not going to yell at me for gossiping?" Beth jumps up from her seat more excited than Rylie expected. "No...no...go ahead say whatever you want to tell me. I won't get upset. Do I do that a lot? I mean, you know get upset about all the gossiping that goes on around here?" Rylie frowns at her. "I think you just don't like people gossiping but it's not all gossip you know. Most of what's talked about around here ends up being true." Beth responds. "Well some of it Beth, it's the stuff that gets added onto the truth that becomes the problem." Rylie replies. "Yeah, but it's true so far that Jayson's brother now has an office here on the executive floors. Have you seen that man? He's like sex on a stick." She stops talking when she sees the look on Rylie's face. "What....I'm listening? He's been here before Beth, he always goes back to New York a few days later." Rylie comments. "This time it's different. They moved new furniture into the corner office upstairs and Grace Harold over in personnel told me he bought a house in Mclean out at Evan's Farm." Rylie can't help herself, she encourages her. "Beth that's ridiculous. Those houses are huge, much too big for a single man." "No Ry, he bought something called a penthouse condo. This place is huge and magnificent. Mr. Braxton Sr. lives in one of those monster houses there. Chace didn't want to be too far away from his dad Mr. Braxton is recovering from prostate cancer. He's worried about his sons and he wants Chace close by." "Is that really true? I didn't know that, is Braxton Sr. alright?" Rylie ask the surprise of what she's hearing is still reflected on her face. "Yeah....he's going to be but I think he's upset about Jayson's marriage. You know he and that wife of his are fighting over their pre-nup. Chace was engaged a few years ago he broke it off I don't know why." She shrugs her shoulders like she's stumped. Rylie stares at her with wide eyes unable to believe she knows so much about this family. "Oh my god Beth how do you know all of this stuff." Rylie exclaims. "I end up being the designated driver a lot of nights when I go out with the other personal assistants in this place. Since I don't get drunk, I remember most of the stuff we talk about." She explains. "You're a very dangerous lady. Remind me never to drink more than one drink around you." Rylie grins at her. "I've got to go, it's almost time for my meeting." Rylie leaves her assistant heading down to the conference room. She has to pass Jayson's office to get to it. His door is slightly ajar. Rylie walks in looking around expecting to see a cleaning lady but there's no one around. Jayson's computer screen is lit up Rylie hears noises coming from his office closet.

He dey romance for closet Ni

N wat's happenin in d closet?...lolz

thanks for d invitation@T-DAk

Hmmmmm nice one. you are welcome @okklad

Closet game on point

Lol...dirty-minded fellows

EPISODE THREE Cautiously she walks to the closet door, someone is definitely in there. A man rushes out almost knocking her over. He grabs her arms, she screams he silences her by putting his hand over her mouth. She bites his finger trying to get away but trips falling onto Jayson's office sofa. "Rylie....Rylie....hold it, it's me, it's me?" Is the anxious cry from the man trying to stop her from running away from him? "Jayson?" She pushes him off of her to the edge of the sofa he groans in pain. "Shhh! He puts his finger to his lips. "I don't want anybody to know I'm here." Rylie is breathing heavy and glaring at him. His face has a scratch on his right cheek. His hair is tousled, his clothes look like he slept in them they're wrinkled and his shoes are scuffed up. His eyes are red and he seems very nervous. "Jayson what is wrong with you, why do you look like this?" Rylie goes back to raising her voice. Sitting up next to her on the sofa he reaches across to clamp his hand over her mouth again. "Please, keep your voice down." He's pleading with her. She jerks his hand away from her mouth. "Jayson, where have you been? Where is Monique?" She says in a lowered voice throwing the questions at him, he doesn't answer he gets up walking back into the closet to grab a shirt he pulls out a suit when Rylie joins him grabbing at his arm to get his attention. "Jayson....tell me what is going on." She confronts him. "Just don't tell anybody you saw me here." He exclaims still gathering his clothes walking out of his closet he goes to his bathroom. "Jayson you can't do this to me, you left here a week ago now you show up looking like you slept in the sewer. Did you and Monique have a fight or something? Where is my sister?" Rylie gets louder now worried about Monique. "Keep your voice down. Will you let me get cleaned up first then I'll tell you?" He looks tired. "Alright, but make it fast. Our department meeting is in about twenty minutes. I was on my way to check on everything. You're supposed to be there too you know." Rylie can't help but reprimand him. "I know that I can't go not today, I can't show my face around here yet." Rylie waits near the bathroom door. He finally comes out in a fresh suit. His hair is combed but the scratch on his cheek remains making Rylie nervous how he got it. "How did you get that scratch on your cheek?" She grabs his chin turning his head to the side to get a better look at it. "I got scratched?" He remarks. "No kidding. I can see that. It looks like something a woman would do. Do I know the woman that did it Jayson?" She asks. "Ry...don't assume. It's not what you think." He remarks. "Then tell me. Come on Jayson, you're going to make me late to the meeting." Rylie glares at him. "It's not from Monique if that's what you're thinking." He answers. "Jayson, stop stalling, tell me?" Rylie is beyond frustrated with him. "Alright...alright. Sit down." He leans against his desk wiping his hands across his face before he starts. "I took Monique to Sydney for a romantic week. As soon as we get there she starts acting funny, she was really distant toward me. I didn't know what was wrong. " He shrugs and Rylie rolls her eyes at him still waiting for him to finish but he says nothing he just stares off into space.

Weytin he wan say...

tnx @t-dak

EPISODE FOUR "And.....you can't stop there. What happened?" Rylie is sitting back on the sofa he joins her. "She claimed she didn't trust Margo. She thought my wife had somebody following us. I told her that was impossible we were on the other side of the world. I thought she was just being paranoid." "Was she, you know your wife is kind of a crazy bitch?" Rylie can't help but comment. "Nobody knows that better than me Rylie." He replies. "And yet you still got involved with my sister dragging her into your psycho world." . "Can I finish or do you want to hear the rest?" He snaps. "Go ahead." She glares at him. "I got up on Tuesday morning thinking she went to get us breakfast. She didn't come back for a while I went looking for her I couldn't find her. I went back to our room she called me. She told me she didn't want to sneak around anymore, she said she wanted to go home....without me. I was devastated, we've been seeing each other for almost a year and she's never been concerned about Margo. I mean why she would wait...." "Jayson...." Rylie is about to apologize for her sister's behavior when he cuts her off. "Ry, she was already on the plane on her way home when she called me. I left and came home too. I tried to call her, left her messages, text she wouldn't respond to any of it. I went by your house she wasn't there. I didn't know I went back home then I got this message from Margo. It was like she was gloating." He holds his head in his hands. Rylie can feel the anger coming off of him. He runs his fingers through his hair messing it up. "I was pissed I thought maybe Monique was right about her having us followed to Australia but I never saw any signs of it. I went over to Margo's to ask her. She denied it. She said she knew I couldn't keep it in my pants. If we don't make it together for five years and it's proven that I cheated, she gets twenty million for every year we stay together up to five years. Otherwise she gets a flat twenty-five million and the house in Mclean." Jayson explains. Rylie is sitting on the edge of the sofa staring at him with her mouth dropped open. "You're stupid do you know that?" She tells him without blinking. "Gee thanks, I can always count on you to tell it to me straight." He sighs. "No...you are, you really are. What's between your legs is worth One-hundred million dollars as in a one and two zero million dollars. No wonder your brother's here. So did Monique kick your ass?" Rylie scowls at him. "Hell no, her bodyguard did. You're right, I am stupid. I went over there and started mouthing off accusing her of following us. She denied it, she started saying she was going to find out who the bitch was I was with and ruin me. I told her go ahead I was tired of looking at her and I just wanted to get rid of her anyway. I was so mad. She said she was going to destroy me, destroy you. She didn't give a damn what it was going to do to my family...." "Wait....wait...hold it." Rylie raises her voice and he stops talking when she stands up. "What...what do you mean Destroy Me? You used the words me and you. You're you who is me?" Rylie is hollering at him. He moves away from her to his desk.

EPISODE FIVE "I didn't mean to do it. She's always been jealous of you. I told her it was Monique and she didn't believe me she said you didn't have a sister because she's never seen her and you've never mentioned her. She said I was making up a name, she knew it was you, she...she wouldn't believe me. She thinks the woman I'm having an affair with is you?" He finishes. "Jayson..." Rylie yells at him her fist are balled up she's coming toward him he backs up. "It's not me. Why....would you do something so...ooooh, god I hate you." Rylie pushes him on his chest. "I'm sorry....I'm sorry. She's waiting to see us together so she can take pictures of us and drag your name through the tabloids. I can't find Monique, she's disappeared. Has she contacted you, do you know where she is?" He's fingering his hair again. "You're an ass do you know that?" Rylie shrieks. "A cowardly ass. I can't believe you dragged me into this. You're brother already fired me once, I'm barely working here now and all you're concerned about is where is Monique? She LEFT YOU Jayson." "I know that, but it's because I haven't told her everything. Look help me find her. Margo can have the money just not yet a hundred million is about all I'm worth right now. I can't give it all to Margo, I'll be broke. When I turn twenty-eight in a year I get the rest of my inheritance from my mother and there's nothing my father or Chace can do about it. My father's controlling my money now, he won't let me touch the rest of it because he says I'm too irresponsible. Come on Rylie help me out with this, I need you. You think you can keep it secret for a few more days until I get a handle on this." He pleads holding her hand. Rylie closes her eyes for a minute then opens them to glower at him. "What I think is the mothership dropped you off here on planet earth because nobody on that planet inside your head understands you Jayson. You ONLY have one hundred million dollars. Who talks like that except a spoiled ass like you? You're brother came to my house looking for you last night. He thought I was your mistress. I don't know if I convinced him I wasn't, he fired me and then after I fed him he agreed I could keep working here but I'm not sure. I think he wants to keep me around just to prove he's right in what he thinks. You know he's got shades of crazy like you." "Chace is here? Shit, I'm screwed." Jayson plops down in his office chair. "When did he get here, is it just for a visit? How long is he here?" "You two are definitely brothers. Ever heard of asking one question at a time and waiting for an answer? I don't know, I don't know and I don't know. There are rumors floating around that he's going to be working here permanently for a while to keep an eye on you to make sure you're not destroying the company he and your father have worked so hard to build." Rylie tells him. "Okay, well...uhm....you need to get to that meeting, you're already late. If you hear from Monique text me. I've got some things I need to work on." He says putting his wallet and keys in his pocket. "Wait a minute. You're serious about all of this. No....I'm not doing any of this. Your brother is going to find out everything and he's going to fire me for good." Rylie exclaims. "No he's not he's going to be jealous at first then he's going to act like he doesn't care trust me." Jayson comments. "I already trusted you Jayson, look where it's got me." Rylie tells him. He walks up to her to hug her. "Ry....I'm really sorry." He kisses her on her forehead. "I just need a few more days to figure this out. Please...." He rocks her in his arms, his lips still stuck to her forehead. She sighs lifting her arms around his waist to hold on to him.

Nice one

If Margo bursts in and sees them like that?

I pray make chace enter

EPISODE SIX Chace is walking down the hallway to the conference room. He sees his brother's office door open. Thinking he's back he walks up to it opening it further. They can't see him standing there and he can't hear what they are saying but what he does see of them in each other's arms is enough. He backs out of the room closing the door before making his way to the conference room. Let me know in the comments; -Do you think he should confront her or wait until she tells him what's going on? -Should Rylie believe anything Jayson says. He did just up an leave her to deal with everything including his brother?

Next plssss

But wait ooo is this an episode or a comment @ the writer

He wnt confront her 'cos he'll think its her life nd its got notin 2 do wit hin.

Hmmnn Weldone @the writer

I think he should confront her cause she had already told him that its her sister that's his mistress and not her. Rylie should be very careful with Jayson.

CHAPTER THREE EPISODE ONE Rylie makes it to the conference room door just as it closes before she can get through it. She pulls on the huge door handle but it won't open, it's locked. Looking through the glass partition between the locked door and the wall she can see everyone is seated and guess who is at the head of the table watching her. She can see his lips moving while his eyes stay on her. The sound is muffled but she can see smiles on everyone's faces and hear laughter coming from the room. Checking her watch she's more than fifteen minutes late. He's actually conducting the meeting without her. She's going to strangle Jayson the next time she sees him. Thoroughly embarrassed she starts walking away from the glass partition. She gets a few steps away and the door is opened by none other than her favorite person Carolyn. "How nice of you to come off your thrown to join us. Your presence is being requested. I don't know what for, you don't contribute anything." She says to Rylie. "What is it with you Carolyn, don't you know we're not in high school anymore." Rylie comments. "Oh sweetie now you see that's the type of comment I would expect a girl to make instead of a woman. It simply proves why you're not ready for management. You wish this was high school and I was just one of those mean girls that use to kick your ass because I'm sure a girl like you got her ass kicked in high school all the time you're so ripe for it. Come on Dorothy, click those Louboutins three times and come on in to meet the wizard." She smirks. "Ladies....is there a problem?" The wizard himself has come out the door. He doesn't look happy as he looks from one woman to the other. Both women end up staring at him like he's the high school principle speaking at the same time. "No, Mr. Braxton." "Good." He says walking to the door being a perfect gentlemen he holds it open for both of them to go inside. Carolyn is grinning in his face as she passes him. He gives her a flirting smile. As Rylie walks by the smile drops turning into a scowl. Once inside Carolyn returns to her seat. Chace walks up to the front of the conference table. He's impressive in his immaculate navy suit. All eyes shift from watching him to looking at Rylie standing just inside the door. There's only one empty seat left at the table, up front next to Chace. Knowing she has to take it she walks carefully up to the front hoping she doesn't stumble. Her stilettos click in a cadence across the tiled floor. "Work it girl." She hears whispers followed by a few laughs. Pulling out the chair next to Chace she sits down laying her PC tablet in front of her. "Are you ready Ms. Cameron?" He ask with slight intonation to his voice. Rylie tries not to react. "Yes, I'm ready." She says to the laughs and snickers in the room. There are more people than she anticipated. This isn't the regular weekly unit meeting. There are several executives and department heads present. If Jayson was here he would be the one attending this type of meeting instead of her. "Alright....we will continue now that Ms. Cameron has graced us with her presence. Let's get started with the status of the list of accounts you should all have. New York and LA are you online." He ask everyone not bothering to look up at the two TV screens now turned on showing executives and team leaders from both places skyped in. It's just what she needs more people knowing she's late. The responses come in promptly through the intercom. Rylie looks around the table seeing everyone pulling something up on their PC tablets. She opens hers but she doesn't have the link. Realizing they were all probably given the link when she was locked out of the room her face reveals her indecision about it. Now she's really mortified. She isn't just embarrassed in the Virginia office, but LA and New York will be gossiping about her to. Looking around the table she catches the eye of Carolyn who is grinning at her looking like Cruela Deville. She even has the audacity to wink. Rylie tries to hold it together. The person sitting next to her discreetly lays her tablet down next to Rylie's on the table. Sliding it over to Rylie's tablet she taps it and the site appears. Rylie turns to Marisol Perez to mouth thank you. Marisol smiles and nods her head. Both women look up to find a pair of serious blue eyes watching their exchange. He doesn't say anything appearing to be just observing. Each department is expected to give a status report if they have one of the accounts on the list. Rylie immediately starts scanning the accounts learning her department has three of them. She waits patiently as he goes through each department questioning them. They all answer rapidly, some seem unprepared incurring additional questions from him. Chace quietly types away on his pc. Rylie can see several people in the room and on the screens eyes are glued to his face with appreciation, open lust and trepidation. Carolyn is speaking they have three of the accounts listed and two of them are behind. Rylie begins to see how Carolyn got all of her promotions. She's attractive like a horse would be, she has loads of confidence when she speaks, she doesn't have any shame either. She flirts, she cajoles, she makes excuses lots of excuses for her department's delays and unproductivity. Its Langston Shepard's turn next. Rylie can't help but watch him, they flirt with each other sometimes. She is extremely attracted to him. They have had lunch together several times but she's never been out on a date with him. He's been at the Virginia location for about eight months having come down from the New York location. He takes his time answering all of Chace questions and it seems that Chace is asking him more than he's asked the others but Langston handles it well. When he's done he winks at Rylie before he sits back down she still has a flirting smile on her face when Chace calls on her. He's sitting right there next to her as she quickly turns toward him with her dazzling smile still on her face only to find those inescapable eyes of his boring into her. He seems if only for a millisecond caught off guard blinking first. Rylie doesn't let it bother her feeling like she's got this. He starts with the Caldwell account and she repeats mostly what she told him when they had dinner. He ask additional questions about it she answers them with ease. He moves on to the other two accounts firing questions at her in quick succession she answers them with strong confident responses. Each time he ask her something she's prepared. Of course in order to manage all of this she doesn't have a personal life or many friends. Chace actually ask her more questions than he's asked anyone else so far. There's an air of tension in the room as he makes her stand there waiting while he stares at his PC screen he doesn't type anything. She watches his hand lying on the table noticing one finger taps on the desk. He notices her watching his hand he stops tapping his finger balling his hand up into a fist. Just as quickly as he calls on her he calls on someone else. Marisol is last to give her report she does just as well as Rylie and Langston she is the only one that garners more than a smirk from him. He even thanks her for her report when she sits down. At the end of the meeting before he lets everyone go he stands up and walks around the room as he talks about his expectations for each department. He explains why all three of their locations are in the meeting at the same time announcing that Braxton Holdings will be doing some restructuring. He explains his father Richard Braxton will retain his position as Chairman of the company, however Chace has moved from his former position of COO (Chief Operating Officer) and will act in his father's absence as Chairman while retaining a permanent position of CEO. He doesn't go into any details about his father's health but does mention that his father is recovering from an illness needing some time off.
