Lenora ran out of her apartment in a frenzy, tears streaming down her cheeks. What she feared the most just happened. Jamie was hurt, how the hell would they even send an ex cop to prison and not provide security? She got into the car and begged the driver to drive as fast as she could.
"Are you okay miss?" The designated driver asked.
"What do you think do I look fine? Just please shut it and drive faster!" She yelled.
And the driver apologised quickly and increased the speed. When she got out of the car and ran into the prison they wouldn't let her see him, and she immediately thought the worst.
"He's dead isn't he? Isn't that why you wont let me see him?" Lenora cried.
"That not the reason miss, he was transferred to the Song memorial hospital." The cop behind the counter informed her.
Lenora hand flew to her mouth. She wanted to ask what led to such a serious injury but she didn't care much for staying here anymore. She needed to be by Jamie's side. Running out of the police station she told the driver where the were heading next.
"Please take me to Song memorial hospital. Immediately."
**************************************************
The entire building that houses tens of thousands of employees was a buzz with chatter. Their boss Jason Kang as aloof and cold as his predecessor. Actually walked into the office with an expression that was almost friendly. The relationship between boss and employee differed based on how high your position was. Basically only his secretary had the ability to meet him everyday and they could never get any good gossip from him, he was too enamored by his boss to say a single bad thing. Executives on the other hand met with him often enough for the lower ranking employees to form personal opinions about their boss.
He was usually nonchalant about anything that didn't bring in money and very direct. Like his father before him he never saw the need to develop anything less than a professional relationship with his employees, if you could call that a relationship.
He always wore a mask of indifference that tilted more to the don't mess with me and your out. Not to mention the rumours of the secretary he fired for speaking back to him. And while his mask of indifference was still on, it was friendly.
Even Matt noticed the difference in his boss, as subtle as it was. Compared to the string of short circuits and insults he had to suffer the past two days it was a welcome change.
Matt walked past him quickly and pushed the door open, holding it open for him to walk in. Jason almost smile fell of his face the moment he entered his office.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He scowled at the man sitting in front of his desk with crossed legs.
Paul turned around and gave him a small smile. "Nice to see you too."
Jason shed of his jacket and tossed it to Matt, sitting behind his desk he turned on his computer. "I'm too busy to talk, go away." He stated bluntly.
Paul eyes narrowed at the bitter man. "And here I was concerned for my friend going through a tough time."
Jason looked up at Paul, "you look worse than I do. Are you sure you're not here to vent?"
Paul sighed. "Are you ready to listen? I need real feedback, I think I'm losing my mind."
Jason leaned back in his chair. "I'm not a psychiatrist."
"Why do you have to he so mean everytime?" Paul huffed. "How is Jessie doing?"
Jason face instantly darkened when he was reminded of what happened to her.
"Okay wrong question." Paul laughed nervously when he saw Jason's reaction. "Did she agree to come clean?"
"Wouldn't you be glad if she didn't." Jason scoffed.
"Actually I want her to leave that place as soon as possible, so if that's what it takes then by all means." He stated bluntly.
"Are you serious?" Jason had to ask. "When did you get so close with Jessie?"
"When she confided in me about the biggest secret of her life." Paul teased.

And Jason frowned "what's that?"
"Wouldn't be a secret if I tell you now would it? Besides I need her to talk to Katherine, she's been... different." Paul replied his voice thick with frustration.
Jason laughed "there it is, the actual reason."
Paul rolled his eyes. "Are you mad that I saved Katherine's life at Jessie's expense?"
"That's true I haven't even gotten around to getting mad at you for that." Jason spat.
"I'm not sorry, I never will be. If I hadn't done what I did Katherine would be dead."
Jason sighed. At the end of the day Paul was right. "How is she anyway?"
"Gone."
"What?"
"She left, with apparently her 'boyfriend' she's still hurt but she preferred to be with that jerk she hasn't known for more than two seconds." Paul replied his blood boiling as he said it.
Jason tilted his head at his obliviously stupid friend. "Is that why you're here?"
"I wish, that's not all." Paul laughed ruefully.
"So what do you think I'm losing my mind right?" He asked after he narrated the events of last night to Jason.
"You are definitely losing your mind." Jason agreed. "Why the hell did you take her crutches?"
"I don't know! That the points nothing I did was me. I didn't even understand what I was saying but I kept talking." He huffed.
"Why? Does it annoy you that she's dating someone? Why? Isn't she meant to date, she well in the age to date." Jason stated bluntly.
"Still, why did it have to be that jerk?" Paul huffed.
"So if it was any other guy would you be okay with it?" He asked.
"Of course not!" Paul blurted out before he could stop himself.
Jason brow rose in amusement but he dare not laugh. "Why? Are you her dad? Even if you were her dad you can't stop her from dating."
"I don't know why, but I just feel uncomfortable with the idea. I know how I treat girls, I don't want Katherine to go through any of that. Men are scum." He insisted.
Jason couldn't help himself anymore, he had to laugh.
"This isn't funny Jason."
"I know, I know. I'm sorry." He laughed. "So you don't want Katherine to ever date and meet someone she'll spend the rest of her life in love with?"
"Marriage is overrated." Paul said bluntly.
And Jason laughed. "So she shouldn't get married but you should? Or do just not want her to marry anyone else but you?"
"What?"
"Paul do you like Katherine?"
