Chapter 107
To save her already crumbling relationship Sydney decided it was best for her to just relate with Paxton when it was necessary.
And since he was engrossed with the meetings they had he too would retreat to the bedroom when they came back.
Most of what happened at the penthouse was a monotone activity.
Which she swore was boring as hell.
The next morning which was the last day of their stay in New York they got up to the news that the maid who used to come cool and clean for them would not be coming in because she had called I’ll.
And also the business partners had decided to push the meeting to a later date.
Due to unforeseen circumstances.
Sydney watched in amazement as Paxton whipped up breakfast for the two of them in the huge, modern kitchen of his penthouse in New York.
His movements were sure and graceful – like a practised chef, he diced vegetables with ease and stirred a fragrant sauce for their omelettes.
As she sipped freshly-squeezed orange juice from a crystal glass, she couldn’t help but marvel at the way he was able to make something so simple look so elegant.
The view from the window above the sink was panoramic, showing off the bright city lights and making the whole scene almost magical.
The setting sun reflected off the glassy buildings, highlighting the top of the Empire State building.
Sydney looked around, taking in all the intricate details that showed how luxurious the place was.
From the marble countertops and designer furniture to the plush carpets and wall art, everything was perfect and impeccably maintained.
By the time Paxton finished cooking, the smells that had been wafting around the room became even more tantalizing.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He dished up the omelettes while Sydney laid the table. With a satisfied smile, they settled down to enjoy the meal together, and she noticed that he had pulled out all the stops to make sure it felt special.
She looked around, feeling happy and grateful for the moment, secure in the knowledge that this was just the start of many great memories.
These were the things she would have wanted Jaxton to do but each time they always ended up fighting.
The moment she hit her head on the pillow in the night she was off to dreamland.
Sydney and Paxton arrived at the business meeting excited to meet the new potential investors from New York.
They had high hopes for the venture and were determined to secure the contract.
When they sat down, they began by introducing their company, Overton Industries, and explaining their goals and aspirations.
The investors were impressed with what they heard, but they had a few questions. Sydney and Paxton provided thoughtful answers and answered each of their questions in detail.
The investors seemed satisfied with the responses and asked to review the company’s financials.
Sydney and Paxton had worked hard to prepare them and confidentially presented the documents.
After a few moments of reviewing the financials, the investors were satisfied with what they saw.
They announced their decision to invest with Overton Industries and the room erupted in applause.
Sydney and Paxton were ecstatic and thanked the investors for investing in their dreams.
The investors shook hands with Sydney and Paxton and congratulated them on a successful meeting.
After a few more rounds of discussions, they had officially secured the contract and the meeting was adjourned.
Sydney and Paxton had achieved their goal; they had gotten the contract and were now ready to take the next step in their business journey.
Sydney and Paxton arrived at their penthouse, expectant with excitement for their little success party.
They had just landed a huge contract for their new business, and the celebration was well-deserved.
Sydney lit some candles and started the music as Paxton went to get bubbly.
The pair settled into the couches, making small talk and feeling relieved that the contract had been completed.
The next hour flew by almost too quickly as they shared stories and toasted their success. Soon enough, it was time to call the night a wrap.
Paxton gathered up the champagne glasses and plates while Sydney tidied up the room.
The two praised each other on a job well done and hugged in congratulations.
As they bid each other goodnight, they couldn’t help but marvel at how far their company had come in such a short time.
The success of their contract was a monumental moment for Sydney and Paxton, and a reminder of how hard work can pay off.
The little celebration may have only been for two, but the night meant much more than that.
It was a promise to themselves that their business would always remain a priority, no matter what.
Paxton was a bit taken aback when Sydney pulled away from his advance to kiss her.
He wasn’t sure what to do, feeling awkward and unsure of himself. Suddenly the phone started ringing, breaking the tense moment.
Sydney quickly grabbed her phone and saw that it was Jaxton calling.
She knew that she had to answer it, and she gave Paxton an apologetic look before stepping away to answer.
Paxton exhaled quietly and sighed, feeling relieved that the uncomfortable moment had been interrupted.
Despite being relieved though, he felt a pang of disappointment knowing that his moment with Sydney had been cut short.
“I’ve got to take this,” she said as she made her way into her room thanking the lord she had not let herself get intimate with Paxton.
“Hey Jax, how are you doing?” she asked and they talked for a long time before she finally came out to see if Paxton was still around but he wasn’t in the sitting area.
Paxton went out and had a few drinks with some friends at a local pub. He arrived early, so he had a chance to talk with the bartender about the night’s specials.
He ordered a beer and caught up with his friends, sharing funny stories and laughing with them until late in the night.
He eventually called it a night, leaving the bar with a smile on his face and happy for the time spent with his friends.
