Cold Showers — Chapter 30

Lilian planned on not allowing Jayda go to work but Jayda proved her wrong with how energetic she turned out to be. She woke up early and offered to make breakfast for herself and Lilian.

Lily made sure Jay ate everything that was on her plate and she made sure her best friend took her vitamins.

They cleaned up, prepared for work and left Jayda's apartment in their cars.

Jayda got to her office at exactly 8.30 am. She placed her handbag on the golden brown mahogany desk, then settled in her chair. She took out her diary and went through all of what she had to do for the day. She was about to do some paperwork when she was disturbed by someone knocking on the glass walled door.

"Come in," Jayda said absentmindedly without looking at the person who knocked.

"Someone delivered this for you ma'am " Anna smiled as she placed a big bouquet of red roses along with a box of chocolates on Jayda's table.

Jayda looked at the items on her table, then she took a look at Anna, her Secretary.

"Are you sure they are for me?" She asked. Anna nodded.

"From who?"

"A delivery guy brought it here. He said it was for Jayda Wright."

Jayda reached for the note in the middle of the roses.

"I'm deeply sorry for everything, Jayda. I'm not expecting you to forgive me immediately but please give me a chance to prove to you and our baby that I'm worthy to be in your lives."Sebastian Miller.

Jayda shook her head in disbelief. She put the note back in the middle of the roses.

Anna was about to take her leave but Jay stopped her.

In two minutes, Jayda typed a couple of things on her laptop and printed it. She folded the printed paper and placed it in a white envelope that had her firm's logo. 'Saunders and Co.'

"Send them back to Miller's Inc." She referred to the items Seb sent to her. "Ensure they are delivered to Sebastian Miller along with this." She handed the envelope over to Anna.

Anna reached for the items on Jayda's desk, then exited her office.

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

The term "Heartbroken." was not enough to describe how Sebastian felt when his receptionist walked into his office with the items he sent to be delivered to Jayda this morning.

"She sent them back," Maria mumbled as she placed the items on his desk.

"This was delivered too." She handed her Boss a white envelope which he opened instantly.

Sebastian went through the letter. It was a Formal reminder, requiring him to deliver the documents Jayda sent to him by noon today.

She made it known in the letter that the papers must be sent back with his signature already tendered. And the restraining order filed against him applied to gifts. Therefore he shouldn't have anything delivered to her office or home.

Sebastian sighed in defeat. "You can go." He dismissed Maria who took her leave instantly.

Seb wanted to deliver the gifts himself this morning but he decided not to because he knew she would not welcome his presence. He was probably the last person she wanted to see.

Words couldn't describe how guilty Sebastian felt but he was determined to make things right. He knew it was going to be difficult for Jayda to forgive and accept him but he was going to give it his all.

Sebastian rose to his feet, reached for his car keys and wallet and made his way out of his office. He met his secretary, Jessica, on his way to the elevator.

"Sir, I was coming to remind you of the meeting you have in twelve minutes." The young lady spoke.

"Apologize on my behalf and reschedule the meeting for later or tomorrow." He replied Jessica without even looking at her.

As Sebastian drove towards Saunders and Co, he kept on thinking of what he was going to say to Jayda when he eventually came face to face with her. Well, that was if she was going to see him.

Seb pulled up in front of the law firm and made his way into the building. He approached a receptionist and requested to see Jayda.
