Murderous Glare
Violet POV
Jayden got up. “I am not taking a ‘no‘ for an answer. If you don’t want the new assignment, you are coming on a date with me.”
What kind of deal was that and how did it solve my problem? But I knew Jayden. He would surely force me to go to Emily if I didn’t agree. I took a ragged breath and nodded reluctantly. “Okay, but you shouldn‘ t put your hopes high. I don’t want any man…”
“Finally!” He grinned, his blue eyes beaming with a twinkle. “I will book us a reservation at the Ginger Hotel’s rooftop and will pick you up at 8PM sharp.”
I sighed, nodding at him. Jayden got up with that hopeful look and exited my room while I plunged into a bit of researching about Emily so that I could feed Martha, reasons not to take her. An hour later, I had enough material about Emily, but everything was good. I wanted one bad news desperately. It was as if those around carefully crafted her career. She was truly a successful model.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, tension bunching in my shoulders.
Martha leaned forward. “Violet, you need this badly. Jayden is a nice man. Give him a chance.”
There was no point in arguing with Martha. She liked Jayden a lot. Well, she was his older sister. Why won’t she?
“Thanks Martha, but we are not breaching that subject again.” Saying that, I stomped out of her room. When I reached my cubicle, I called Mimzy, Dave’s nanny, to enquire about him.
