Nickolas moved back and moved his thumb over her lower lip which was lightly swollen as he started explaining. "Asher and Nolan are step brothers. Nolan's father is Mr. Henry. At first, he was married to a woman who died when Nolan was 7. So he married Asher's mother, Ms. Ruby. Ruby's husband was a drug addict. He died in an accident. Soon she fell in love with Mr. Henry and they got married." Sara nodded in agreement "They look very close for step brothers." "Nolan, being the older brother, he was always a mature child. Nolan and Asher have a 6-year age gap. He was always a responsible child. He loved Asher like his own brother." Sara gasped in surprise "Asher doesn't know that Nolan is his step brother?" "No he doesn't. And Nolan doesn't want him to know." "What does Nolan do?" "Mr. Henry was a businessman but after he got into a fire accident, Nolan took over. Asher in studying now so after his education, Nolan wants him to take over the position as CEO." "That's really nice." "Jasmine is Crystal's best friend since high school. There's nothing much to know about her. She's a kind, sweet girl."
His thumb, which was caressing her lower lip, held her chin as her face was pulled closer. His voice turned husky as he whispered against her lips, their noses booping each others "Now that I fed your curiosity, I'm hungry. Let me eat you." With a shy smile, Sara attached her lips to his and started kissing him slowly. Nickolas's other hand travelled towards her back and wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer. Their bodies collided and her hands wrapped around Nickolas's neck. Just when his tongue was going in her mouth, they heard a cough. Parting their lips, they looked around to see everyone looking at them. Jake sighed "I though it was only my sister and Ryan. Another PDA couple is here." Sara was blushing but Nickolas didn't mind it and instead passed another comment "Lots of girls are lining up to date you but you chose to stay single." Jake rolled his eyes and looked away with a scoff.
Crystal clapped her hands to draw their attention towards her "Okay everyone! That's enough! Listen here first." Everyone settled down as she started speaking. "Initially, Ryan and Amara were so distant. They were purely business partners. But after our families proposed for their marriage, they agreed, surprisingly. Even after that, they weren't even looking at each other's eyes. Until today, Jake and I saw something." She paused a moment and looked around to see pairs of curious eyes. "This morning, they came out of Ryan's room together. Amara was talking to the staff when Ryan back hugged her. Later they were kissing. That wasn't the only thing. They were also looking so intimate as if they're so in love." Rest of the people nodded in agreement as Lucas spoke "They aren't the type of people to show affection. Which clearly says that something's fishy." Jasmine enquired "So what is our plan of action?" "I need Jaz and Ash to spy on them. I need hourly updates on what they're up to. Sara, Nickolas and Jake need to set up some plans and keep your eyes on them to see if they were acting earlier when they came out of the room. And last, Nolan and Mr. Lucas. I need you guys to observe their reactions to the plans that the other three implement and try to know their thoughts."
Once she was done speaking, she came out of her professional mode and looked at everyone to see a stunned expression on their faces. "What's up guys?" Lucas smiled "Are you planning on taking over The Stone Industries?" "What? Of course not!" Nolan chuckled and "Good job Crys." Asher spoke "She's known as the Presentation Queen of our Uni." Getting compliments from men, Crystal started blushing. Jake stood up "Okay everyone, get to work." And with that, he walked out of the room. Crystal scoffed and cursed underneath her breath "He's being such an asshole. What the fuck is wrong with him?"
