Her Ex's Boss

One month later

Jade was sitting in her room at the vanity on her phone while she was getting her hair and makeup done getting ready for the Christmas charity event Jacob was hosting.

Jacob was standing the bed with the phone to his ear.

"Yes, that sounds great."

"We can talk more tonight."

Soon he hung up the phone with a massive smile on his face.

"Guess who I just talked to?" he said excitedly.

"Who,'  Jade said lifting her head up while the make up artist applied highlighter to her face.

"Tony Starks.

"Really," Jade said surprised.

He nodded.

"Yea he is interested in working with my company."

"That's great baby Jade said congratulating him.

He paused for a moment.

"But there's only one thing.."

"Which is.."

"Well if the deal goes through we would have to move."

"To where Jade asked.

"Los Angles." He told her.

"I'm all for moving honestly she told him.

"Really I didn't think you would want to move... Since New York and all."

She shrugged.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now, and there's too much going on here, and once I have the girls I want to move from here."

Jacob looked at her.

"I've been thinking about the girls too, and I was thinking... His buzzed he pulled it out and looked at it.

"Damn it," he said.

"What's going on," Jade asked getting up from her chair slowly.

"One of my guys said he couldn't work tonight, so that means we're going to be short staffed."

"No we won't," Jade reassured him pulling out her phone and sending a text.

He raised his brow.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Well, I got you, someone, to cover for tonight," she grinned.

Nate made his way into the country club which was decorated with bright Christmas lights, and a giant Christmas tree was standing tall by the entrance. He soon saw Jade who was in a long red dress she still looked radiant even at seven months. Still surprised she contacted him considering the fact when he told her that Crystal was possibly carrying his baby and she told him she never wanted to talk to him again.

"Hey, I'm so glad you could come Jade said walking over.

Nate looked over his shoulder to be sure she was talking to him.

"Hey you look beautiful he complimented her.

"Thanks, she smiled

"Can you come with me I need to talk to you." she pulled him by the arm, and they made their way past the banquet hall with tables covered in red and green tablecloths into the kitchen.

The kitchen was hot and cramped as waiters and chefs were working on food.

Nates eyes widened

"Why are we in here he asked.

Jade looked at him confused.

"Because we short on staff and we need help for tonight.

Nate shook his head.

"Wait a minute... You texted me asking if I wanted to come to the Christmas Charity tonight not work it.

"The Christmas charity is invite only you have to have an invitation to get in I thought you knew that.

"So you invited me to work for you."

"Yes, why do you think I specifically asked you to wear black."

"Hey man what are you doing here Ricardo asked.

"Well, I got to go Jade said exiting out of the kitchen.

"Everything looks great Mr. Grey," Tony Starks said

"My name is Mr. Johnson.

"Sorry you look just like him anyone ever told you that.

Jacob shook his head slowly.

" Before I make my final decision I need to stop by to see how you run things and sign the papers."

"That sounds great," Jacob said.

Tony's phone started to ring.

"I gotta take this he said getting up and walking off from the table.

"Once he was gone Jacob got up and made his way to the bathroom.

When he walked inside making sure no one else was in the bathroom when he pulled out his white powdery friend and took a quick sniff feeling a sense of ease take over his body.

As Jade was walking around in the room filled with a list and few blist celebrities from the Kardashians to Ellen.

It has been a minute since she last seen Jacob and the waiters were starting to serve appetizers.

Her phone started to ring, but when she saw it was her mom, she pressed the ignore button.

Making her way down the hall by the bathrooms she saw Jacob.

He looked relaxed at the most.

"There you are he said I've been looking all over for you he said pulling her close.

Jacob what are you doing she asked as he started kissing her.

"I want you," he whispered in his ear his voice was slurred, so Jade assumed he was drunk or something.

"We got another thirty minutes before it starts you want to fool around some he asked.

"You're not gonna mess my hair up are you," Jade teased.

"I promise I won't baby he said as he placed an out of order sign on the bathroom door as they went inside.

Nate was walking around with a tray of spinach puffs and serving food to everyone it wasn't too bad, but he was a little pissed Jade used him. He never seen her so under handed.

Speaking of Jade, he hasn't seen her or Jacob in a while which was fine with him they were probably going to make him the joke of the night in front of all the celebrities.

Once he was done making his rounds he made his way back into the kitchen he pulled out his phone to see he had four missed calls all from Jade's mom.

Concerned he quickly called her back.

"Is Jade with you?" she asked.

"Uh, yea what's going on."

"I've been trying to call her but she's not answering, but I need you guys to come to the hospital."

"Why what's going on?" he asked.

"Its Crystal she got into a car accident."

"I'll talk to Jade," he sighed.

As he hung up, the phone Jade walked into the kitchen.

"Talk to me about what," she questioned Nate.

He looked at her he noticed her lipstick isn't as bright as it was earlier.

"We got to go to the hospital."

"Why Jade asked raising her brow."

"Your mom called."

"I know Jade said crossing her arms.

"She says you weren't answering and she told me to tell you we need to meet her at the hospital Crystal got into a car accident."

Jade looked unfazed.

"Your coming right?" Nate asked pulling his keys out of his pocket.

"Obviously not I'm sure she will be fine."

"Really that's your sister."

"Yea she's my sister, not a charity case so you can go and waste your time, but I'm not."

Nate said nothing as he stormed out of the kitchen.

After making his way to the hospital, Nate finally found Crystal's room he saw her doctor walk out of her room.

"Is the child ok," Nate asked him.

The doctor looked at him confused.

"Child..."

"Of Crystal Lewis." Nate pointed out.

"She does not have a child otherwise she would be in the maternity wing of the hospital the doctor explained.

As the doctor walked off Nate was pissed.

"Are you fucking serious!" he shouted as he walked into the room.

Crystal was sitting on a patient bed with her mom by her side.

"What are you talking about?" her mom asked.

"Crystal is a fucking liar shes not pregnant!'

"Yes, I am Crystal got defensive."

"No your not if you were you would be in the maternity wing, not the ER."

"You know what I'm done... Stay the fuck away from me!" Nate stormed out of the room.

I decided to a long chapter this time ????

Was Jade wrong for making Nate work?

What y'all think Jacob wanted to ask?

Is the business deal going to go well?

Should Nate have gone to the hospital?
