Cold Showers — Chapter 21

Getting drunk and occupying himself with work has been Sebastian's routine for the past weeks. Jayda's face hunted him every now and then. He gets angrier when he remembers his conversation with Lilian, his cousin. 'about her colleague dating the girl he had a one night stand with.'

He was totally convinced Jayda was just like the other women. All the tears she shed were fake and most importantly, what they had meant absolutely nothing to her.

He was hurt and dying of jealousy. The thought of another man having what he had with her was making him go crazy and because of his Ego, he couldn't reach out to her.

Seb couldn't believe he had been celibate for over a month now.

"Yes," He said as soon as he answered his intercom.

"There's someone here to see you, sir." Maria, his receptionist said over the intercom.

"But I'm not expecting anyone."

"She said it's urgent Sir."

"She?" Sebastian groaned, hoping it wasn't one of his ex flings.

"Yes sir, her name is Jayda."

Sebastian's eyes went wide at the mention of her name.

"W...what? She...Jayda is here?" He asked in disbelief. There had been only one Jayda in his life; the one he had a passionate one night stand with.

"Yes, sir. Should I let her in?"

Sebastian thought for a while. He wondered why she was there to see him.

"Let her in." He finally said to Maria.

...............

Jayda was not surprised at what she saw as soon as the driver informed her they'd arrived at her destination. The picture she saw of Millers Inc did not even do justice to the building she was looking at right now.

The taxi man agreed to wait for Jayda until she was done, then take her to her office.

From the reception, she was directed to the eighth floor of the building where she met Sebastian Miller's receptionist.

"Good morning." She greeted the lady who seemed to be her age mate.

"Hello," She smiled at her. "How may I help you?"

"I'm here to see Sebastian Miller."

"Do you have an appointment?" Maria, the receptionist asked.

"No, I don't."

"Then I'm sorry, you can't see him," Maria replied politely.

"Sebastian and I are long-time friends and I'm sure he will be happy to see me. Please give him a call and tell him Jayda wants to see him and if he says he doesn't want to see me I promise to walk away." Jayda said with pleading eyes.

For some reason, Maria felt the need to help Jayda. She was different from the other ladies that do come to the office and ask to see Sebastian. Those girls were always half-naked and rude but Jayda looked presentable, polite and honest.

Her eyes never left Maria as Maria spoke to her baby daddy over the intercom.

"You can go in ma'am, His office is down the hall to your right," Maria said. Jayda's heartbeat increased. She couldn't tell if she was nervous or excited. It was definitely the first. This was the first time she would be seeing him again after their one nightstand.

"Thank you." She replied with a smile that did not reach her face and then made her way to Sebastian's office.
