CHAPTER 138 (Second-Gen)
After, breakfast Nadia stood up, and took her handbag. She said goodbye to the rest of the gang, and left. She took the lift to the garage, where she picked a silver-grey SUV.

She grabbed the key, and got inside the car. She started the car, and was about to drive out when Peyton came out running.

His grey T-shirt was drenched in sweat, as he stopped on the passenger window.

"Wait!" He knocked on the window, and Nadia wined it down.

She raised a brow at him, and looked at his sweat drenched face. He was panting as he stuck his head through the window.

"Pey? What the heck did you run down the stairs from the third floor?" Nadia asked in shock.

Peyton sighed "I'm sorry, but I knew that if I let you leave without saying anything I was going to regret it for the rest of my life" He said, and smiled.

Nadia furrowed her brows"Well, that sounds alarming "She muttered, and Peyton chuckled.

" Listen, I know that things haven't been that great between us, but you see I got these tickets to you favorite play for tonight"He paused when he noticed her face light up" But I mistakenly bought three tickets. So, I was wondering if you could invite that PA of yours? "He asked, and held his breath expecting her to get anger for dragging a third party into this.

Nadia's eyes widened" Really? You want Axel to come along? You don't mind at all? "She asked.

Peyton smiled, and nodded.

" I kinda like him. His like a better, more tolerable version of Raymond "He said, and Nadia laughed.

" I know, right? "She chuckled.

He smirked at her" So, tonight at 7 PM? Before the play starts we could get something to eat at the Red Velvet?" He suggested, and Nadia nodded while smiling.

Peyton sighed " Alright, I'll come pick you up at 18:30"He said, and backed away.

Nadia waved at him, and he waved back, before she drove away.



When she arrived at the office she found Axel at his usual spot, working tirelessly. He was talking on the desk phone while jotting something down on his notebook.

"Alright, I'll set it for next week Monday at uh... 12:00 PM. How does that sound?" He asked, and smiled.

He nodded politely at her, which she returned with a smile.

"Alright, thank you. Have a nice day, okay" He hung up, and continued to jot down on his notebook.

"Having fun?" She asked, and placed placed a plate container in front of him.

Axel's eyes lite up, and reached for it.

"Oh, you know..... the usual. Work is work" He said while opening the container. Large chocolate muffins were inside, and he almost cried.

"My Aunt made quite a lot of those the other day so I thought I could bring you some" She said and fixed the strap of her handbag on her arm.

Axel grinned, and took one muffin. He took a huge bite from it, and moaned.

"Oh my god, I wanna marry your Aunt" He spoke with a mouthful, and Nadia giggled.

"That's if you're prepared to get a beat down from my Uncle" She shook her head.

"And before I forgot, can you be ready by like Six.... PM?" She asked, and Axel raised a brow.

"Sure, why?" He asked, and took another bite from his muffin.

Nadia smiled "Just be ready" She instructed him. "Okay, I'll see you later, alright? I've got a lot to do" She murmured the last sentence to herself, and Axel hummed a replied.

The phone on his desk started ringing, and Axel reach for it with his freehand.

Nadia decided to let him be, and walked towards her office.

"Mhh.. Crap!" He was Axel forgot that he still had a muffin in his mouth, and took it out. Nadia who heard everything burst into laughter without even looking back.



Peyton walked out of the lift of the Clarkson group buildings top floor. He was wearing a crisp black shirt with the sleeves rolled all the way to the elbows, he had on black trousers with shiny black shoes.

His eyes landed on Axel, who looked up from his computer, and smiled at Peyton.

"Good evening, Mr Peyton. Are you here to see Miss Knights?" He asked.

"Peyton"

Axel furrowed his brows "Huh?" He asked.

"Just Peyton. Mr makes me feel I'm the one paying your salary. Is Nadia in?" He asked him from over the desk.

"Umm, yes, she's in. She hasn't gotten out of the office since she came in" He replied, and looked down at his computer.

Peyton walked towards her office, and knocked but got no reply. He tried again but same results. He decided to go in. He looked around the office, and found her asleep on a couch next to her desk.

He smiled, and walked towards her. He squatted in front of her, and watched her sleep. His eyes scanned her face. She was laying on her side with her lips slightly parted. Her hand tucked under her chin. She was beautiful with Full lip, long eyelashes, and a spotless face.

How could one person be so perfect? He wanted her all to himself, and no matter how many times she pushed him away he would come running back everytime.

"She's breathtaking, isn't she?" Axel spoke from behind, scaring Peyton half to death.

When did he even come in?! He stood up, and turned around. His heart pounding fast.

Axel smiled, and raised a brown envelope up"Just came to drop this off" He replied without even being asked, and walked towards the table.

He placed the envelope on her desk"You know.... Giving her a chance to realize her feelings for you isn't gonna work"Axel said, and turned around.

Peyton scoffed, and stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets "What makes you say that?" He asked, and tilted his head.

Axel shrugged "Because she already does love you, it's just that you haven't really been giving her a reason to accept you as her lover. You treat her like a little sister, and you gotta start treating her like a woman who needs to be pleased" Axel spoke.

His whole demeanor had changed, and Peyton couldn't help but notice it. He was like a completely different person. And that actually made Peyton more attracted to him.

He chuckled, and glanced at the still sleeping Nadia. Luckily, she was a deep sleeper"And how do you suggest I do that?" He asked, and moved closer.

Axel smirked" By making her want you, and me more. I'm certain that you're not blind, she wants both if us, and we should give her what she wants "He leaned on the table, and smiled innocently.

Peyton stood in front of Axel, and gently pinched him on the chin. His thumb stroked his lower lip, and he lifted his head up.

He brushed his lip against his, and sighed.

" I fucking hate where this is going" Peyton muttered, before locking his lips with Axel's.
