FIELD TRIP

Lystra was dumbfounded hearing how bold and outspoken she was, "Do you think I like cleaning after people, but to reach the top, you begin from the bottom, then climb the ladder step by step? I am sure you did the same."

"Good Lord, you only portrait to be a Christian but you are the devil himself?"

Jessy was never a coward when it came to defending herself, "Think what you like, everyone has their own opinion of me anyhow, so I frankly don't care.."

Lystra noticed when she took up her bag and was about to step out of the staff room, when she spun around and said, "Oh, and Miss John, please don't forget tomorrow you have to bring the Boss meals, that way; I could get an extra twenty minutes rest."

Then she stepped out of the staff room. Going to Sylvia asking for a notepad. "Are you going on a field trip Jessy?" 

Jessy looks at her face, only to see a smile of approval, not holding the truth from her, "You guessed it on your first try" 

With a soft chuckle, so Lystra won't hear, she whispers, "No, my dear girl, I overheard your conversation, so good luck I know you are very capable of handling whatever is necessary to accomplish the task." 

"Thank you, Miss James, I will need it and I promise to make you proud."With that, Jessy took the notebook. Observing how Lystra was glaring at her from head to toe from the staff room 

Miss James on the other hand notices Lystra's disapproval and says, without hesitation, "Don't worry you will do fine."

Hearing her words Jessy felt less nervous, "If I do then you are an excellent teacher." 

At that moment Brent walks towards them, as his eyes linger around only to catch a glimpse of Lystra.

From the distance, Brent could see the envy and disappointment on her face.

Recalling his warning, 'He hoped she wouldn't do anything stupid.' 

When Lystra saw Boss she had no idea he had seen her expression and now her smile was printed all over her face to cover up her disappointment. "Miss John I have an appointment after visiting the factory so if anyone calls please contact me only if it's important."

Calling out to Miss Albert, as he walks with his thin long legs. "Are you ready Miss Albert?"

Jessy smile as she hops along and answer, "Yes, Sir." 

Brent was happy to have this time with her, so no one would suspect him especially those two who were not too far behind. Without even looking at her, he asks, "Have you gotten everything?"

Lifting her hand to wave to Miss James showing her gratitude, "Everything Sir?"

In his private elevator, he whispers, "Why do I have to steal you away to get a kiss secretly?"

Brent heard her chuckles, "Because that is the deal."

Embracing her when the elevator closes, "Yeah, but it is hard my love?"

Before they could wink or complete a simple kiss the "Ding !" came and Jessy stepped away from Brent. 

Please with herself when the phone was rested back on her desk."Now isn't that God's way of answering my prayer, so I have nothing to worry about?" 

Miss James, who was passing to go to the staff room overheard what Lystra said and wondered, 'what she was talking about and who was on the phone that she was so pleased about?'

Stepping out of the elevator, Jessy glimpsed Rosanna immediately and said, "Do you know what is hard?" at that moment Rosanna stepped beside her, "That's what I am talking about?"

Having no choice he said as he brushed her shoulder as a gesture to comfort her, "I will handle it."

When Rossana stepped beside him, "Brent, I heard you were going on a field trip, so I felt it was appropriate to come and join you."

Feeling bitter for the interruption he asks, "I see and who told you I was going on a field trip?"

Rosanna who was just happy to see him didn't see the displeasure smile and said, ignoring Miss Albert present, "I called your office, thinking we would have lunch, but since I am joining you we could get lunch on our way?"

To Brent's surprise, Jessy said, "Sure, sure you will keep Boss company, while I get some rest, last night I went to bed a bit too late."
