Her Adopted Baby's Daddy

Chapter 4

It had been a few days since Ceaser left Jules' house looking all hot and dashing. Work was still the same for her; interesting, fun, other times boring. The new CEO - whose identity was still unknown to her - had made a few changes by firing most of the employees and hiring new ones, she was glad he had kept the staff in the children's section though. She was already familiar with all of them asides from Andy and Sofi and she was glad Ivy and the other kids wouldn't have to deal with new faces.

She heard he was planning on changing the name of the company which didn't come as a surprise. The name, she didn't mind but him firing and replacing most of the workers wasn't fair. That was just cold-hearted. She got that he was doing his job but he should have given them a month's notice or at least a week. He just upped and fired them...hopefully, he included severance pay. She had heard a lot of things about him from the gossip of the office but no one had gotten a glimpse of him yet.

Jules was in the kitchen cooking when she heard a knock at the door.

Who could it be?
She wondered as she abandoned what she was doing and went to get the door. Jules pulled the door open and her breath caught when she saw who it was.

Oh Darn!
Jules thought as her eyes betrayed her and went checking him out.

He looked flawless in his black suit, a white shirt which had a few buttons undone. Not a single strand of his hair was out of place. In short, he looked immaculate. Her eyes met his and she saw a hint of a smile on his face. That's when she realised, she had been staring.

"Are you done ogling me Ms. Jenna?" Ceaser asked in his husky and very sexy voice that made her swallow.

Ceaser had stayed away from her for the past couple of days trying to set his mind and get his thoughts straight; it wasn't an easy task. He had a hard time letting go of the woman he offered a ride at the office's garage that night. But he had to see Jules Jenna for who she really was and remember that she is the woman who had his daughter. He decided to set his plan in motion and he knew she wouldn't give his daughter up. So, he was going to wine and dine her, he'd make her fall madly in love with him. Jules Jenna was one of those hard to get types but she couldn't remain immune to his charms forever. Sooner or later she'd crack and he preferred sooner rather than later because only then could he move forward with the rest of his plan. He would get married to her and adopt his daughter. Finally, he would let his lawyer – who was the best – work his magic in court and he would have full custody of his daughter then and only then would he divorce her.

"I-I was not..." Jules' stutter snapped Ceaser out of his thoughts of his well-laid devious plan.

"May I come in?" He asked, interrupting her

What was he doing here, again?
Jules wondered.

"Of course." She said, opening the door wider. He stepped in and walked towards the living room but not before he made sure his arm brushed hers and he lingered close for a while before he proceeded into the living room.

Jules sighed and closed the door joining him in the living room. Ceaser was scanning the room when Jules got there, he took in the surrounding something he hadn't thoroughly done the last time he was here. His gaze travelled to the kitchen and that made Jules remember the food she had left on the stove.

"Oh shoot!" She ran into the kitchen and turned the gas off. She sighed in relief when she checked to find she hadn't burnt her meal. She would have gone to bed without having dinner because she was beat to prepare another one for herself.

"Everything okay?" Jules jumped at the nearness of his voice; she looked behind to find him watching her.

Darn! He made her kitchen seem smaller than it already was.
