Justin did not say anything.
"She is coming with Owen," Andrew added. He did not expect any kind of response from Justin. But that didn't stop him from talking about it.
"I heard she is dating someone. I forgot the name of the guy—" Andrew frowned a little trying hard to remember the man's name.
"Robby Gazelo." When Andrew gave him a look, Justin added, "I heard it from Owen."
"Hmm, I am happy that she has finally moved on. I heard that guy treats her very well and she is happy."
"Edward, don't eat the paper." Justin got up. The good mood he had woken up with had been completely ruined.
"Don't lash out on him." Andrew threw a glance at him. "Lash out on yourself."
"I have a flight to catch. I'll drop Edward at your place." Justin approached the little one and lifted him in his arms before walking towards the door.
"It's still not too late Justin, you still have a chance. Grab it while you can."
Justin stopped in his tracks for a couple of seconds before walking out.

"Oh my God," Tina gasped after seeing the pile of gifts. "Are these your wedding gifts?"
Rachael nodded, "I guess."
"Girl, you and Andrew did not even hold a wedding," Emma added.
"I know right? Now I am wondering what will happen if they actually hold one?"
"These were sent by Andrew's acquaintance back in Russia. His cousin Owen had them shipped here."
"Oh Andrew has a cousin?" When Rachael nodded, Tina asked, "Is he hot?"
"Of course he is hot, haven't you seen Andrew? That kind of hotness comes with the genes," Emma remarked.
"Alright." Rubbing her palms, Tina asked, "Which one should we start from?"
"Anyone but we have to be fast, Andrew will be home soon." Rachael glanced at the watch. It was already two in the afternoon, Andrew said he would be back by four.
Emma picked up a random box and started unwrapping it. "You two have plans?"
"We are going to Yumen for one night."
"First trip together, what is the plan?" Tina ginned.
"Nothing, I don't even know why we are going there."
"You didn't ask?"
Rachael shook her head. "No, I will just follow him. I am sure it's something important."
When Emma and Tina looked at each other and grinned, she asked, "What's wrong? Why are you both giving each other looks?"
"Rachael, you sound so—"
"Smitten and into Andrew." Tina completed Emma's sentence.
Rachael did not say anything, she just smiled and kept unwrapping the gifts.
Just then Tina snatched the box from her hand and tossed it aside. "Leave that—"
Both of them rushed towards Rachael, squeezing her in between.
"Tell us, did something happen?"
"What happened?"
"Between you and Andrew obviously," Emma remarked. "Did something happen?"
Understanding what they meant, Rachael shrugged them off. "Nothing happened."
"You gotta be kidding me," Tina scoffed. "Don't you guys sleep in the same bed? Don't tell me you haven't even kissed him yet."
When Rachael did not say anything, Emma frowned. "You haven't? How the f*uck are you resisting that man?"
Rachael pursed her lips. She had nothing to say.
"This way both of you will become sexually frustrated and trust me when I tell you it's a very dangerous thing. It makes people go crazy," Tina remarked.
"Well, we held hands."
Placing her hand on her chest, Emma gasped, "Oh my God that is so hot, hope you used protection."
Rachael: " "

Walking towards the exit, Andrew gave the file back to Ben after signing it. "Make sure this problem is solved by the time I come back."
"Yes boss."
"Tell the finance department to keep the report ready," he further instructed.
"Boss, what about the upcoming project with Watson Enterprise? They sent us the final proposal yesterday."
"Let's hold the project until Rachael joins work. I'll talk to George." Since it was a very important project with Watson Enterprise, he wanted Rachale to take charge and take it forward.
"Okay boss and—" Before he could complete his sentence, someone interrupted him.
"Andrew—" Carol rushed towards them. She was holding a blue file and brown envelope in her hand.
Andrew threw a glance at her before taking his phone out. He then started typing a message to Rachael informing her that his work was over and he will be home soon.
"I went to your office but you were not there."
"Ms.Dominic, do you want something?" Ben inquired. Since the day he had joined, he didn't have a very good impression of Carol. He knew about the intentions she harboured for Andrew, he could see right through her. He had thought after learning that Andrew was married, she would back off but he was wrong. This is why he always kept an eye on her to make sure she doesn't cause any kind of problem.
Carol did not answer him, instead she kept talking to Andrew. "Dad told me to give you this file so—"
"You can give me that—" Ben took the file and envelope from her hand. "Next time please look for me instead of the boss for things like this. I am his assistant, things have to go to him through me."
"How is the renovation of the office going on?" Andrew inquired.
"It will be ready by next week."
"Make sure everything is perfect. I'll bring Rachael here after we are back from Yumen. Let her select the furniture herself." Andrew walked out without sparing a glance at Carol.
"Andr—" Carol was about to call him but Ben stopped her.
"Boss is in a hurry, please don't disturb him. He is taking madam for a trip today," he stated. "If there is anything, you can tell me and I'll pass on the message."
"I-It's not important."
"Okay then I'll not waste my time either, I have work to do." He walked away leaving Carol alone to burn in anger, jealousy and embarrassment.
