Chapter 34: Maytender Constructions
Inside the spacious main lounge of the penthouse were Kieran and Jaxon, each having a wine as they sat in silence. Jaxon had just dealt with his previous boss over a long hour of call, tightening all ends such that he was officially out of the company and also would receive his last salary.
They had a tight conversation, so Kieran knew more than to let him rest.
No more sugar to the over-sweet tea.
But Jaxon broke the silence with a sigh. Kieran glanced at him and asked with a slightly teasing chuckle,
"Get over with it, you lazy brat. Imagine not even fucking that beautiful woman before you submitted your resignation letter..."
Jaxon stared at him for a few seconds with an expression ... What a pathetic guy, a slight smile dancing on his face. He shook his head and while he did that, Kieran burst into laughter.
Not talking about that anymore, Jaxon sighed again. Then he mumbled, glancing at Kieran, "You know what I had in mind hearing those girls’ sad story and seeing them again at the restaurant recently? They seem quite... loosen away from each other.
Friends, but this sparkle between them is undeniably gone. I even stalked them down to the first floor yesterday — they had a few discussions that seemed like an argument before going their separate ways."
Kieran raised his brows. "The more slender one literally attempted killing their other friend back then, the one whose Mrs Jackson’s men finally wasted... So it’s expected that the purple-haired one loathes her now. Trust? Love? All those are definitely gone, saving the space for hatred. They can’t make up quickly without a third party coming in to resolve things, trust me."
The both of them looked at each other for a while with a knowing stare, as though one was aware of what the other had in mind.
Finally, Kieran shook his head profusely. "No, no... You can’t. Let someone else handle it... Maybe Amanda or even Mrs Ana, since she’s a mother."
