CHAPTER 8:GIVING ME NO CHOICE
MASON
"He does a good job.. He works hard." My father stated.
"A good job?"I shook my head with a chuckled."I like Eoin, but there's more than a handful of typos on this page alone. We shouldn't have to keep him on just because he's family."
"I think we owe him that much after everything he's done. He was the one that stepped in when you weren't around, Remember?"
"I bet it was such an inconvenience to his life."I replied, sarcastically. When my father didn't reply I rested back in my chair with a sigh."It's your choice if you want to keep him on. You're the boss here."
"When the time comes the business will be passed on to you. It'll be good to keep some people around that you can trust."
Trust.. Not likely!! I don't do trust. I'm just not that guy that puts his trust in others. That's never been me. I've never been that man.

Penelope CHAPTER 9: BROKEN AGREEMENT
JAMIEA bottle of Champagne was chilling in a ice bucket on the table to the side, two crystal flute glasses were stood pretty beside it. One glass completely empty, while the other was still untouched.Two in the afternoon was too early for me, but Carmen on the other hand— well she was never one to turn down free champagne, or anything free for that matter. Being the centre of attention Carmen was in her element, which is exactly how it should be for any bride to be.I hooked the final satin button on the back of her dress that was made of lace and tulle. I was feeling a great honour to be by Carmen's side. To be present at every dress fitting, to every store in the city of New York just to find the perfect pair of shoes to match her perfect dress, and most importantly by her side through all those months of planning
Penelope CHAPTER 10: MORE THAN I BARGAINED FOR!
MASON"I know that it looks bad on my part. Not answering the phone when she called was bad enough, and finding a woman in my room didn't help the situation.""Was she pissed?"Eoin asked."Of course she was."I rested back in my chair, with a sigh."But Jamie's been pissed with me since I came back, so there's nothing new there.""She was probably jealous — about the woman I mean. She has a thing for you, she just won't show it because she's angry still. You know how women can be.""Jealous.."I shook my head in disagreement."No, I don't think so. She made it clear how much she hates me. I'm pretty sure Jamie would rather I was out of the picture. She doesn't want me around."Jealous! She would have to feel something for me in order to be jealous. Coming back here — I didn't expect winning her over was going to be such a challenge. How naive I was!!
Penelope CHAPTER 11:A DAY OF DISASTER
JAMIEMy day started with a disaster!!I over slept my 7am alarm by 45 minutes, which meant my usual morning routine of calmness before an 8hr shift at The Ritz, turned into a huge rush around.I was rushing from one room to another while Penelope sat calmly in her highchair, munching on some Cheerios. Between getting us both dressed, feeding Penelope and packing her things for the day ahead, I had already worked up a sweat.I was late for work!!I looked down at my silver watch, that my Mom had gifted me for my birthday."No, I'm extremely late for work! Let's go, Penelope."I picked Penelope up in my arms, with two bags over my shoulder and I left my house in a hurry.My day didn't get any better from there. Work was more hectic than usual and Carmen came down wi
Penelope CHAPTER 12:A LITTLE TOO LATE
JAMIEI walked out of The Ritz and into the lashing rain, with the feeling of dread for what was about to come. Mason Knight was never one to make my life easy, today was no different.He turned on the sidewalk and looked at me. I was surprised that he didn't wait under shelter like any normal human being. No, he was stood with the rain pouring down on him, drenched with a pissed off expression on his face."You took your time."Ten minutes tops, but I'm sure it felt like forever for him. I know how impatient he can be. He doesn't like waiting around on anyone, that's what the expression is for. That and the guy he seen me kissing."Sorry.."I apologised, I don't know why. Mason didn't deserve an apology, not that I was even sorry anyway."So you said that you wanted to talk?"Make it quick, I thought!"Yeah!"He r
Penelope CHAPTER 13: A LOT OF MEN IN MY LIFE!
JAMIEEthan and I walked through the lobby of The Ritz after a quick lunch and a catch up before we both headed back to work. With Carmens wedding only two weeks away, we had our own planning to do.Ethan isn't going to Carmens bachelorette party so it's just us girls. He's going to Brent's instead, even though he isn't keen on the idea. He doesn't particularly like Brent, but he can't say as much to Carmen. I'm sure she'd pretty much disown us.I guess we can't really blame her for that. I don't think I'd be happy either, if my best friends didn't like the man in my life. As hard as it might be sometimes, we need to get along with Brent for this to work."Are you sure you don't mind?"Ethan asked.
Penelope CHAPTER 14: THE DATE.
JAMIEI was sat across the dinner table from Jack at a cute little restaurant. We were midway through our main course and I was feeling thankfully that there has been no shortage of conversation between us so far."I didn't know that you were a vegetarian, Jamie. I'm impressed.. Honestly. I don't suppose you eat fish, Do you?""Not since I was younger. Some vegetarians eat fish, I choose not to. I don't miss meat really.. I mean except for when I was p..."I stopped myself before saying anymore. Of course that got a look from Jack."Except for when you were what?"He asked.I didn't tell him about Penelope. I don't really know why I didn't, perhaps it's because telling Jack about my daughter means that I have to tell him about Mason. I w
Penelope CHAPTER 15:SHE MOVED ON.. I SHOULD TOO!!
MASONI pulled my phone from my pocket and looked at the screen. Still no reply! She didn't even bother to return my call. Does she really think she can just ignore me, especially when I'm staying at the hotel she fucking works in.I walked into the hotel with no intention of going straight to my suite. I wanted to talk to her — and I was going to try to be nice about it since I was planning on asking her for a favour.She wasn't at the reception desk, a blonde woman was. It was a little after lunch, so I expect she would still be here. The blonde woman smiled as I got closer."Hi Mr Knight, what can I do for you?""I'm looking for Jamie. Can you tell me where she is?"I asked, nicely in fact. The door to the back office was open slightly and I couldn't see her inside. That's usually where she is.
Penelope CHAPTER 16: I’M THE BEST YOU'VE EVER HAD
JAMIEI tied some pink and white balloons from the tree in my back garden. There was an array of round white tables with four chairs across my lawn, and on top they were decorated perfectly with pink and white roses.I got down from the ladder and looked around my garden with a smile. A balloon arch we had placed around the double back door to my garden first thing this morning, the doors were open and I could smell my Moms cooking. She's been here since the early hours cooking up a storm.Carmen was here to help out, or so she says. She's spent more time hugging and kissing Penelope than anything else, not that I minded. I loved that she loved my daughter so much. She's so good with her. I'm sure she will make a good mother.. someday!I turn
