Down the road

The video

Hi guys, I know I haven't uploaded in ages and that most of you probably lost interest but I'm really hoping that's not the case! Anyway, enjoy this chapter!

Piper was acclaimed upon entering the office that day. Everyone congradulated her on the segment that was posted the day before. Well, almost everyone. It was hard to miss the slamming sound of a magazine smashing againts Claire's desk as the latest fumed over all the attention the newcomer was receiving.

''Pips, Angela wants to see you!'' said Nala shaking her eyebrows with anticipation.

Piper who had just sat down stood up eagerly. She was really interested in knowing what the woman who gave her this opportunity thought of her work. Right before knocking on her boss' door, she took a deep breath.

Upon entering the office, Piper immediately recognized Jasper's voice coming out of her boss'computer. Her superior signaled Piper with her hand to sit down all the while never leaving her screen with her eyes.

As her own scream was heard, Angela chuckled still focused on the screen. Piper was grateful that she was not looking at her because her cheeks became red with embarrassment as she remembered clearly that moment. She thought they would have edited that part out.

Flashback

''Now try pulling harder with your arms while pushing with your feet well anckered on the floor.'' instructed Jasp on how to properly use the arm ropes connected to some weights. ''You should be inclined with your back facing the floor.''

Piper obliged but forgot to push with her feet which made her loose her balance.

''Ahhh!'' she screamed as she was falling.

Jasper quickly caught her by her shoulders since he was right behind her. Her back gently rested on his chest.

''Thanks Jasp!'' she breathlessly said looking up at him.

''No problem, that happens a lot actually.'' he replied with a big smile.

Piper hated herself for the butterflies that emerged in her stomach. It was no surprise to her that this happened regurlarly. The only question was how many of his female clients lost their balance on purpose?

End of flashback

Angela paused the video before finally looking at her.

''Congratulations Piper...you're trending!'' exclaimed the lovely blond.

''I am?'' asked Piper surprised.

''Yep, turns out everyone is sharing your video and it is buzzing!'' proudly answered Angela. ''So much in fact that the board has decided that this should become a regurlar segment on our website!''

''Wasn't that the plan from the beginning?'' asked Piper with confusion.

''Oh I'm not talking about your videos with multiple specialists... I mean you being coached by your friend.'' said Angela with a sly smile.

''What?'' asked Piper with confusion.

At Buddybuilder's gym...

''Jasper, we have a meeting with Rumor has it magazine at 10:00.'' exclaimed Buddybuilder's owner Jonathan Sky to his employee.

''What? What for?'' wondered the latest as he was completing his next client's chart at the front desk.

''Something about a potential collaboration... we'll know more when we get there but it has something to do with your friend's video that was posted yesterday.'' replied the 35 year-old man.

''The segment we filmed last week?'' asked Jasper even more confused hoping he didn't mess something up for Piper.

The green-eyed black-haired nodded before heading off to the exercise room.

Back at Rumor has it...

''Can you believe it?'' asked Piper sitting at her desk once she had finished describing her conversation with Angela.

''Actually, I can. You guys are the biggest ship in Swellview since yesterday!''replied Nala laughing at Piper almost choking with her sip of water at that statement.

''Ship?'' said Pips almost squeaking. ''W...what ship...why ship?''

She was only met with laughter as an anwser.

In Hawaii...

''No way!!!'' said Charlotte looking at her phone.

Her husband sat closer to her on their bed to see what she was talking about.

''What's going on?'' Henry asked with a mouthful of croissant from their breakfast.

Henry looked at the screen in time to see his sister falling into his best friend's arms.

''No way!!!'' he replied with a muffled voice from the pastry.

In a smoky poker room somewhere in swellview...

''Boss, you'll wanna see that!'' said one guy approaching the poker table.

The boss grabbed the phone before smirking at the sight.

''Well, well, well... if it ain't Dunlop's kid...and his little girlfriend.'' he said before taking a sip of whisky.

''You're sure it's him boss?'' asked another one of his men straining his neck to see the picture.

''I haven't seen Richard Dunlop's son in over 10 years but I have no doubt that this is him.'' replied the man before putting his glass back down. ''Well, you know what you have to do! Get to work!'' he exclaimed forcefully slamming his fist on the table.

''Yes sir!!!'' replied his faithful minions.

So what do you guys think?

Who is the'boss' and what does he want with Jasper?

Stay tuned!
