Jade.

Chapter Eight.

Everyone Has A Surprise In Their Lives.

Everyone has secrets that they keep deep inside and no one knows about them except a best friend who can also be a brother or even a sister to you.

Jayden knew that one day Jade would know that he has a secret that he has been keeping from everyone around him except for his best friend Rocco.

It's not that he didn't want anyone to know about it. He didn't want to judge by people who will gossip telling him that he did it for a girl. But he did it for himself and no one else.

Jayden has given everyone a week off so that he and Jade could prepare for the engagement party.

He didn't need too many workers to do the job as it wasn't much work needed to be done.

"Chef, are you alright?", Jade asks him when she saw that he wasn't answering her questions.

"Yes, I am fine. And for the last time don't call me that again. Call me by my name", he tells her.

"But it is unprofessional....."

"Who says? People? Rumors? I don't care about that because I care about friends and the colleagues that work for me", Jayden assures her.

"Okay, fine. But what are thinking about?", Jade asks him.

"Its nothing. Just worried about the food that needs to be delivered to the engagement of your friend. We have a lot of things to do, right?", He asks her.

What Jayden didn't know was the fact that Jade had planned ahead of everything that will be needed for the engagement party of Ayla and Yunus.

"Jayden, I did what is needed to be done. The only thing remaining is for you to calm down. And one more thing, you don't need to worry, he is my cousin. The goofy and mischevious Hamza who is the twin brother of the bride-to-be", Jade explains to him smiling inwardly knowing that Hamza was right about Jayden being jealous.

But why would he be jealous when he always spends time with Luciana? She has always been with him wherever he is.

"You mean, he is your cousin?", Jayden asks her.

"Yes, my cousin. Why?", Jade asks him.

"Nothing. Let's finish with this. And then I will have to be somewhere during lunch time. So we better be fast", Jayden answers her.

Jade nods and continues what they were doing. But she couldn't help but wonder what Jayden was hiding.

It was time for lunch, time for them to get 30 minutes to break so that Jade could go and pray while Jayden went to do his things that he needs to be done.

As Jade walked outside of the restaurant to get to the Masjid so that she can pray there as it was close to the restaurant when she saw Jayden walking in the same Masjid.

Is he a Muslim? Maybe I am imagining things.

She shook her head and walked toward the women's side and walk into the bathrooms to take wudhu.

Jade finished taking wudhu and started praying. After finishing her prayers she made duas for everyone including Jayden.

After she finished, Jade walked out of the masjid only to collide with Jayden who held her so that she didn't fall.

"Thank you".

"You are welcome".

Jade wanted to ask what he was doing there but she knew that it was none of her business as he can do whatever he wants.
