Home

I sat with äke in the front seat. He asked me about the trip, the interviews, and how Jade and I got along during our first trip together.

I tried my best to suppress a smirk.

"Jade and I got along well. She is a very good assistant. I've stayed in the best hotels and ate the best food because of her," I answered äke.

Äke smiled.

"Thank you Dionna," he turned to Jade in the backseat.

"I'm just doing my job Sir," Jade responded to him. 

I looked back to her in the back seat with an amused, inside smile. She looked back at me with pursed lips, betraying not even a hint of acknowledgement of our secret. I turned my eyes back to the road, frowning. Is she going to ignore me, everything that we had and talked about now that we're back?

I bit my lip.

Nah. I'm just getting ahead of myself.

"It's good that you're back early son. You can have enough rest before going on with your next project."
