Chapter 8 Please
"Ah. I'm just curious about my brother's company, that's all." Rylee replied shamelessly even though she was caught by Assistant Jacob.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Assistant Jacob declared and immediately left the office and continued to make his way toward the conference room.
Jarek had a frown on his face when Assistant Jacob entered the conference room. "You're late," Jarek stated in a cold voice.
"I'm sorry, president. I met Young Miss Rylee on the way. I had to settle her in the guest office before returning here." He replied, which made Jarek nod.
Assistant Jacob quickly handed the documents he had just picked from the secretary's table to Jarek and sat on his seat.
"Let the meeting begin," Jarek said and soon everything turned silent and Assistant Jacob stood up.

"Brother. Brother. Brother." Rylee paced the room anxiously. "Brother, if I missed this opportunity, I'll be so angry with you." Rylee pouted and jumped on the chair.
Even though she knew that there was no way she could miss anything with Jarek's authority, Rylee couldn't help being impatient.
"Ugh," she smacked her forehead. "This is over 45 minutes. I tried not to break or crash into anything, yet brother isn't back, this is driving me crazy!" Rylee yelled in anger and almost swept the paper away on the table and the door opened right at that minute.
"Oh. Oh. I'm caught again." Rylee stood up with an awkward smile. When is it that whenever her hand itches to do something she'd be caught?
Despite her brooding thought, Rylee had a smile on her face as she arranged the paper step she was about to fling away, immediately. "It's really not what you think." She said while looking at him with innocent wide eyes which made Jarek scoff.
"Hey, brother." Rylee immediately left the table and ran toward him. "Brother." She tugged his cuff happily.
"Sit," Jarek replied calmly, and he also sat down in a catchy and elegant manner. Jarek's top two buttons were unbuttoned, which gave one the chance to peek into the strong and beautiful collarbone.
"Okay, brother," Rylee replied immediately and sat as he instructed.
Since Rylee could come to his office and feign a demure act, Jarek knew his step-sister could only be in J Empire for something, she needed his help in concern for her acting career.
Jarek never paid attention to the Hart family ever since he left, but when it comes to Rylee, he was always attentive.
"What do you want me to do?" Jarek asked, cutting to the chase which made Rylee pout her lips.
"Brother, what do you mean?" She tried to act innocent. "Can't I just greet my brother? It's been a long time…"
