CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

No one spoke or moved for the next ten minutes or so. It took some time before Jackson finally lifted his head to reveal his reddened eyes. As he took his glasses off, it was plain to see that agony had donned his youthful face. He asked, “Shane, you're telling me all this because you want me to make a choice. Is that it?”

“Yes,” replied Shane before he nodded slightly. “We've pretty much confirmed that Jacqueline is the culprit behind everything. All that's left is to wait for Mr. Gunn to provide us with the evidence. I will hand Jacqueline over to the police as soon as I receive the evidence.”

He beckoned the waiter to top off his glass of wine before he continued speaking, “You are Jacqueline's boyfriend, so you have the right to know the truth. I'm telling you everything because I want to know what your thoughts on the matter are. Will you blindly let Jacqueline wreak havoc? Or will you support me and put Jacqueline in jail?”

Jackson let out a bitter smile and pointed out, “It doesn't matter what I think, does it? You'll send Jacqueline to prison, anyway.”

“That's true,” replied Shane with a slight grin.

“Then why bother asking me at all?” demanded Jackson as he glared at the man.

Shane swirled the wine in his glass and answered, “I'm just going through the motion. I want you to know that I will not change my mind so that you won't put the blame on me when everything is done.”

Hearing that, Jackson stopped talking.

Shane waited patiently while the man was lost in his thoughts.

Sometime later, Jackson shifted his gaze to Shane and asked, “Shane, can't you let Jacqueline go just this once?”
