“I thought you have forgotten about it”. she said and Jayden scoff.
” Jayden never forgets anything, so, are you ready?”.
“Yeah, whatever”.

“Why? Are you going to ask me to murder someone for you, because I can assure you that you got the wrong person”. she said and Jayden chuckled.
” Far from that, I want you to stop working”. he said and Maya choke on her water.
“What?”
“Yeah, I want to stop working from now on and stay at home till the baby is born”. he said.
” Why?”.
“Because you need to rest”.
” But I am not complaining “.
” I know, Doctor Michael said this is time for you to be resting, you can still be receiving your monthly payment while staying at home”.
“That’s cheating, I can’t stay at home all day doing nothing”.

” You can start tomorrow, I have fixed everything on your laptop”. he said and tears fill her eyes.”You don’t need to get emotional about it”.
“Am not” she sniffed.”Am just so surprised, thank you”. she smiled at him.
“You can only thank me if you agree to stop working”.
” I will think about it”.
“You have two hours to give me feedback”.
” why are you this nice and friendly all of a sudden?”.she questioned.
“You know, I don’t do things for free”. he smirked and Maya scoff.
” I knew there is always a price attached to your good deal”.
“Of course, you know me too well, so has your hatred for me turned to likeness?”.
” I still don’t like you, I only like your new posture”. she said and Jayden scoff.
“Indeed, just admit you like me, if you don’t like me as you said then why are you always worried when I home late or get hurt”.
” I don’t”.
“You do, if you don’t like me why didn’t you push me off that night that I kissed you, you responded and it shows you are beginning to like me”.
” Don’t get your hopes high, I don’t feel anything for you”. she said and Jayden stood up and walk up to her as he move his face closer to her, Maya gulped nervously as their face were inches apart.
“Are you sure? Why aren’t you pushing me off right now that I am close to you”. he said smirking Maya push him off and he giggle as he went back to his seat, Maya gulped nervously avoiding his gaze.
