Chapter 23 Pain and Passion

Jean entered the office having same devilish smirk plastered to her face. She locked the door after instructed by Scott. Though his office is soundproof it is linked directly to front desk. So they have to be careful when they will be talking.
As soon as Scott saw Jean his eyes darkened little bit. All he want now is to be as close as he can be with her. Nathan and Sam who are observing the couple suddenly felt an urge to burst into laughter. Their expressions are vulnerable. These two love struck people are strongest persons they have known yet they are now acting like teenagers who saw their crush after long time.
"Uhmm…" *cough cough*. These two bachelors couldn't take this any longer. They felt a sudden need to find their love soon. They too want to be happy like these couple whenever they come across their partners in the funny situation like now. This made Nathan to think about Aria. He felt like his heart is being twisted and he felt guilty for being coward for not expressing his feelings to her.
Sam coincidentally thought of Ria who is sitting out, he suddenly felt an urge to run to her and to fall on to his knees to propose her but first he have to apologies to her for his weird behavior. This is the first time he felt something like this towards a woman.
Room became calm for long time with couple seeing each other intimately into their eyes. They are in their own world as other both are thinking deeply. After god knows when Scott stood all in sudden and subtly went near Jean in a shift moment and kissed her passionately.
Jean reciprocated with same passion pacing with his fierce nature. This is not the first time that they have seen these both kissing. But their love can be sensed all over room like soothing fragrance. Their intense love made the other two to feel the pain again in their heart. This also made them determined to set things right and they decided to take a step forward in their current love life.
Jean and Scott parted from each other reluctantly, sadness visible in both their eyes. He went back to his chair as Jean sat across them. It took some time to set all their minds back again into their usual mode. They have not talked for long time all are simply sitting. Jean can still feel Scott's intense gaze on her. Nathan and Sam are simply trying to avoid the couple who again drifted back into their own world.
Who can blame then. It is really a pity not to talk or see each other lovingly even though they are spending most of the day in the same room. Nathan and Sam can feel the pain their friends are bearing and wanted to set them loose from this hardcore plight.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door which bought them back to the present. Jean hurriedly opened her reports which are not even touched and Nathan took the other files from her. Scott opened his PC mean while Sam settled back in acting like he is happiest person.
Kim and Cassandra came in hurriedly. Cassandra is crying calmly. "Sir we just got a message that Adam Grey had met with an accident and was taken to Simpsons south hospital. He is currently going through major operation" Kim was saying when Cassandra swiftly observed the room.
Her sister is sitting across the CEO's table and her pained expression is hard to ignore. She smirked inside happily for seeing Jean in her vulnerable position. It is evident that the bosses are giving her hard time.
Kim can also sense the tensed atmosphere. May be his bosses are giving Jean a huge lecture for acting in that way. But no one know the vicious thoughts running in Cassandra's criminal brain.
