The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 45

" Watch your step, Jackie!" Mase rudely scolded as she descended the staircase. He was on edge for the past few days and it was getting Jackie bothered.

" You know what, I'm not going anymore. Go with Alicia and Kyle. Find something to tell the host, like umm, I am down with the flu or something." she fumed climbing up the stairs.

" I don't have time for your useless and senseless tantrums, suit yourself!" he responded with her tone and walked out banging the door loudly. Jackie shook her head as she stood at the window in her room looking down at Mase talking to Alicia and Kyle. A few minutes later, they sat in the car as he sped off in anger.

Who pissed in his cereal this morning? she couldn't help but wonder.

" Hey, girls," she picked her phone. Freya and Jess had face-timed her.

" Bad time?" Jess asked her sister.

" No, it's a good time. Just Mase throwing tantrums like a woman in her period, and I can't deal with that," she explained.

" Is he edgy lately?" Freya asked.

" Yeah, ever since he came back from your he has been edgy and annoying." she sighed sitting on her bed.

"Give it time, he would be fine," Jess added.

"Enough of my rants, what have you girls been up to lately?" she asked.

" Nothing much, just planning on coming to New York City for a girls trip," Freya added.

" That sounds fun, tell me more." her ears pecked.

" Okay, it's a one-week trip. We are planning to leave Jersey City, NJ in two days. Then when we get there, we plan the fun places to go." Jess explained.

"Great idea, but won't it affect your work?" she asked them both.

"No, no. Everything had already been sorted out." Freya chipped in.

" Then, I would be expecting you, girls, on Sunday. I can't wait to have you here." she couldn't hold her excitement.

" And we can't wait to be there either!"

" What Cody? What?" Amelia asked as he dragged her out of the girl's washroom to the car park.

"What?" she asked again.

" I don't like you hanging out with Zayn." he managed to say.

"Excuse me, say what now?" she raised her brow.

"You heard me," he smirked walking away.

" Who the hell do you think you are? The prince? Well, wake and smell the coffee. You have no fucking right to tell me who to hang out with, you understand? You have no right. I'm gonna hang out with him, so get that into your thick skull. The world doesn't revolve around you, you had your chance and you blew it. So byee!" she turned on her heels walking out on him.

Cody stood shocked at her display. He thought she would have just agreed already, but his guess was wrong. 

Watch out Huxley, don't say I didn't warn you.

He thought to himself heading to his car. Amelia walked angrily to the classroom.
