Caught Between The twin CEO

Walking into her office, she collapse tiredly on her chair, her system beeped, opening her email, and her eyes widened in shock and surprise,

“That son of a devil, ” she grabs her phone and swiped to her email, to retrieve the message,

Mr. James walked up to her,NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Sydney…?” She stood up and walked out,

“What’s with her again?” He murmured.

Seated in his office, Paxton smirked. For the first time, it felt good to be the CEO. Nobody could question his actions, the door jammed close almost startling him, looking up ready to fire who dared barge into his office like that, but his gaze fell on her,

“Just like I expected you to, you’re 2mins late.” He said calmly as if nothing had happened.

“I do not understand what this email entails, could you please explain more, Sir? She says through gritted teeth, drawing the sir.

“You are an employee here and have no right to question me.” He looked at her delicate face ruined with anger, “get out of my office this minute and finish up within an hour,” he finalized.

“An hour! But I can report the last 10 years’ marketing reports within an hour.” She tried to push her luck, but at some point, she preferred Jaxton to him.

“Out please, you’re interrupting the air coming in, please.” He sneered still facing his laptop,

“Urgh!” She closed the door in frustration, this is what she gets right for spilling drinks on him, she feels this was his way to have sweet revenge.

Sitting in front, of her laptop, she stared at the system like she was about to die,

“Quit staring at your system, you’re making me more anxious,” the voice of her supervisor startled her,

“More like death. Where’s the storage room, I was given an assignment by the boss”

“Poor child, it’s just your first day and you’re already on the bad side of Mr. Paxton. I wonder what you must have done to him, to make him detest you this much?” He went on, rolling her eyes she asked again,

“Where?” He looked at her and then sigh,

“The last room by the left,” he replied, she walked.

In about an hour, she typed the last figure, and collapse on her chair,

“Hi, Sydney?” She looked up, it was her brown-haired colleague,

“Hi,” she smiled tiredly,

“You seem stressed, why don’t you join us for lunch? That is if you’re not stressed?” Her smiled widened just by looking at her, Sydney could tell she was the bubbling type.

“Uhhmm, let me finish up with this I’ll be there”

“Great.” The lady left,

“After I submit this to my boss who hates me” she stood up, walking towards his office, she heaved a deep sigh, then knocked,

His baritone voice echoed, ” come in.”

Opening the door, he looked at her,

Are you done?? He asked she nods handing it over to him,

A moment of silence reigned between the two as he scanned through the printed copy,

“This is the best you can do?” He scoffed, “Not impressive at all.” He says, her face rose to meet his gaze,

“Sir?”

“You heard me right. A lot of glitches just at first glance, but I’d let this slide just because this is your first day” clicked her fist, if the world could permit her, she was going to show him what it feel to be frustrated,

“You may go, it’s not like the work’s useful anyway.” Her head felt like it was on fire, she faked a smile,

“Yes sir.” And with that, she walked out of his office, her stomach growled,

“Ma’am, would you be patient, me too, I’m exhausted?” She sighs, heading to the cafeteria, starving was an understatement, she was beyond famished.

Relaxing during many breaks when her phone rang. She picks up though it is a strange number,

“Who could this be? She catechized, still looking at her phone, she reluctantly picked up,

“Hello, my love.” Turns out to be Jaxton, her suspire was deeper this time.

“When would the white brothers let her be? Her subconscious screamed at her.

“Wanna have lunch with me?” She could sense him smiling smugly.

“Are you insane? What if your brother catches us.” Rubbing her head with her palm, she queried. She was tired but a deal is a deal so Sydney obeyed and got his lunch.

they had a small lunch, she could help but feel irritated by his look all through the lunch.

Aside from being with her lover, she also left the office building, which could be noticed by Paxton,

“Are you worried about my brother? Not to worry, he’s not gonna know.” He assured her, she feared Paxton more than this mug head, Jaxton.

After lunch, she return to the office, but of course, she made sure Jaxton sent her to and fro till the break ended, going unnoticed by both her boss and colleagues.

Sydney came back to her office tired and met a load of work Paxton left for her, close to tears but grit her teeth and start working.

“Did they swear for him? Why’s he giving me a tough time?” Close to tears but she was rather challenged,

“I have been looking for a job for a while now and now finally got one and now he wants to make me leave this job, not on my first day at least.”

It was already dark by the time she finished, everyone had gone, even Sir James, with lights still on, she knew Paxton was still around,

“Did he always go home this late? Judging from the time she met him at the clubhouse, he always does.

She didn’t have time to worry about someone else she was tired and hungry,

Her phone rang, the same number from the afternoon. She needed no magician to tell her it was Jaxton calling.

“Hello, Jax…” he says as soon as she picks up.

“Meet me at the Parking lot.” He demanded like she was some slave or something,

“Enough is enough!” She lost her temper this time, hitting the table so hard in anger,

“I do not care if you tell your brother we share a night! This is more than torture!!” She flamed out of hunger and tiredness Sydney forgot her secret is with Jaxton for a moment.
