Chapter 10 Secrets
You are not going to work! I said to Jacob after 1 month of being away from work.
I need to go to the office Minty. I need to know what is happening to my company. Said by Jacob angrily.
I know you want, but Mr. Jackson the doctor said that you still need more time to rest. I said softly. Please, just this time.
Minty!!!! Sighing dramatically.
No Mr. Jackson and on Saturday I wont be around with you. I need to run some errands as I told to Jacob.
And what is that? Raising his eyebrow
Just a court case for my mentally ill father I thought.
I will have a meeting, I lied.
He is silent, but then---
Does Taylor knows about the scar that ------
No, Mr. Jackson he doesn't know about the scars..
Scars???
Fuck!! Me and my big mouth...
Can you tell me the truth, Minty???
Mr. Jackson. I need to go now. Please rest and follow all the orders of the doctor so that you can go back to work as soon as possible.
Minty, you sit down and explain!
Mr. Jackson please!!!
No! You need to tell me what are those scars or I will not have second thoughts to fire you Minty.
I left with no choice but to explain. I went to the chair opposite to him...
When I was eight years old. My father----
I stopped.. I do not know how to continue explaining about my psychopath father.
Mr. Jackson I don't really want to talk about it.
Your father was the one who did those scars to you, right???
That is the reason why I cannot be with you on Saturday. I need to attend the court hearing.
I will be going too.
Are you out of your mind?? I yelled. There many reporters in here waiting for you to know what happened in Paris and yet you still want to go to a court hearing????
I do not care Minty. He smiled then go back to bed.
Well, I care Mr. Jackson. So you do what I say and rest. Later, I will being some food when I am finish on what I will be doing. I pulled up his blanket which smelled tremendously Of him.
Gosh, I need to stop thinking of this things.
I left Jacob's place using the backdoor. I need to avoid those reporters.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
Hello??
Hey Minty? Ace's voice.
Do you need anything??
Nothing, but I want to see you. I miss my girlfriend so I want us to meet.
But we had our date last night?
Yes, but I miss you!.
If that's the case I will see you tomorrow then. I need to bring Mr. Jackson's dinner later.

You are so good to him, he said angrily.
Alright Ace, bye! I chuckled.
For the past 1 month we've been together, I think that there is something missing. Ace do not irritates me and he always avoid something maybe. I feel like I didn't know him sometimes. Maybe I was just thinking too much.
****
After the meeting at the office. I grabbed those munchkin that I have ordered and go to Jacob's house. Thankfully, the reporters are no longer here. I unlock the door and look for Jacob.
Mr. Jackson??? I knocked on his bedroom. When he opened it he wears nothing but only a boxer. I can see those eight pack abs fully sculptured and the mark of the bullet. Minty??? He smirked.
Okay. I choked out
How did the meeting with John go??
It went well. He is good as you. He managed to get the investment that the software team is developing. John is good at his work.
First name basis huh?
Why???
You do not call me in my name Minty. For 1 year you have been working for me, you treat me professionally.
Because that is really it is Mr. Jackson. I need to treat you professionally because we are working in a professional environment.
But you are also working a professional environment with John,, Minty.
Its not a big deal Mr. Jackson. Trying to be serious.
Come and eat. I said.
I'm not hungry said by Jacob.
Suddenly my phone buzzed.

I smiled on how he calls Jacob.
Was that your lover? Asked by Jacob
I just nod and replied on Ace.
See you later then!
As I opened Jacob's door---
Please Minty, you need to take care of yourself and be careful with Ace. He is not what you think---
Why do you keep on saying that???
Cancel your date!
You---
Do you want to know or not????
I left with no choice but to get my phone and called Ace. Of course, I am more willing to know what is the relationship between Ace and Jacob. Are you ready??? Said by Ace
I am sorry, but I need to cancel our date Ace. I have an urgent meeting to attend to.
That fucking asshole Jacob!!
Don't overreact Ace. We will move out date soon. Bye Ace!
Wait a minute and I will just get change said by Jacob.
Are you sure that you are okay to leave the house? I mean are you already okay???
Minty, I am not dying. I just need to rest.
Uhmm, can we stop by at my house so that I can change.
Minty, it is okay. Let me change and we will go to your house.
