Chapter 9
The blonde woman pranced into the room with a big smile on her face, she rushed to fox and threw her arms around Fox. He just stood there dumbfounded.
"Fox, honey! I've missed you." Danielle gazed into his eyes and kissed him while Theresa stood there with her mouth open, what the heck was wrong with this girl. No way was she going to get a job at Crane Industries, she would have Alistair fire her immediately.
Fox pulled away from her as quick as he could, quite embarassed. He took at glance at Theresa who was just standing there with her eyes wide opened, but he turned his attention back to Danielle.
"Danielle....what are you doing here?" He stared at the floor fidgeting.
"Baby, I've come to see you. And I got a job here as well. Isn't this great? We can spend so much time together."
"Excuse me...but do you two know each other?"
"Yeah....we're old....friends."
But Danielle had a problem with the term 'friend'. She rested her hand on Fox's waist, with Theresa's eyes following it the whole time.
"Fox is my little sugar-bear...aren't you?" she cooed to Fox, pinching his cheeks.
Theresa didn't ask anymore questions. She knew that if there was something was going with Fox and Danielle, he would tell her. She trusted him.
"Alright, I'll leave you guys here to chat, I'm going to get some coffee and make a phone call..would you two like anything?" Theresa asked.
"No, its alright, thanks."
Theresa walked out the door giving Fox a warm smile which he returned. Danielle noticed and knew something was up with this Theresa girl and Fox, she would figure it out.
When Theresa closed the door, Fox immediately pushed her away from him.
"Why the hell are you here?"
Danielle battered her eyelashes giving him an innocent smile.
"I told you, I missed you and came to see you."
"Don't lie to me."
"I know you missed me too." she strolled up closer beside him.
"No, I don't. I would have preferred if you weren't here."
"Aw, I'm so hurt." she said putting on a fake hurt expression.
"Look, things ending up bad between us, so why don't I just buy you a ticket to wherever you want and you leave harmony. Look, if it's money you want, how much do you need?" he took a chequebook from his pocket.
"No, If I came here, I plan to stay for a very long time, perhaps I'll be even moving here." she took the chequebook from him and set it on the table.
"If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have left you. I realized how much I still love and miss you." she continued.
*Flashback*
"Danielle! Don't leave me, I love you!"
"If you loved me, you wouldn't be sleeping with all those women behind my back."
"No, it was a mistake, you can't leave me, you won't."
"Watch me." and with that, she walked out of his life.
"No....Danielle......no matter what i'll always love you! You'll come back to me, I know you will."
*end of flashback*
Fox shook the memory trying to forget it.
"That was years ago...just forget about it."
"No, I won't. You said you would always love me, I know you still do, I've come back now, we can be together again."
"No we can't. I did love you, I truly did. But I stopped when you left me.
Danielle looked at him.
"You moved on, haven't you? With someone else." she felt a pang of jealousy.
"...yes..."
"Is it that woman that lured your father into bed." she said with disgust.
"First of all, her name is Theresa and she did not lure him into bed. Julian got her drunk."
"I see..."
Theresa opened the door seeing the deep conversation between the two.
"Sorry, hope I'm not interrupting something important."
"No, it's alright."
"Fox, can I have the papers of our new client?" she asked
"Yeah, I'll get them for you." Fox walked out of the room with Theresa following him.
Danielle narrowed her eyes. "Watch Nicholas..I will win you back, if it's the last thing I do."

At night, in Theresa's room
Theresa cleared her troat and glanced at Fox who was sitting on her bed.
"So, um, what's up with you and Danielle. You guys seem to have some deep stuff going."
"Hm? Do I detect jealousy?" he beamed proudly.
"...No..."
"Admit it, you love me, and want me all for yourself." he took her hand and pulled her down next to him.
"Don't go thinking so high of yourself. Oh ya, next week, monday, I won't be home."
"Why?"
"Carl asked me out on a date and I agreed."
Fox narrowed his eyes at her. "WHO asked you out and why?"
"Carl from work, he's has a crush on me for a long time and asked me today while you and Danielle were talking."
Damn! Why did Danielle have to come today, he could've stopped Theresa from agreeing to go on a date with this Carl guy. He muttered a few unappropiate words and noticed Theresa trying to keep from smiling.
"So Theresa, what's Carl's last name?"
Fox caught her off guard. She expected him to get jealous.
"Carl.....Carl..." She glanced around the room and settled her eyes on the curtains. "Carl Curtain."
Fox had to keep himself from laughing. Where the heck did she get 'curtain' from. Finally he burst out laughing.
"Liar! There is no Carl." he tickled her endlessly making her giggle and laugh.
"Alright..stop." she took a breath.
Fox was now above Theresa gazing at her below him.
"Well what do you think? Of course I'm jealous!" she said.
"Ah ha! So you admit it."
"You don't expect women to be happy when their boyfriends are going after other women. Plus. I saw the look in your eyes when I said I was going out with Carl. So you can't say you aren't jealous either."
Darn, he was trapped. "Oh fine. Hey, what if that guy touched you? Don't expect me to be happy?"
Theresa smile at him and leaned up to kiss him. He returned the favour. When they parted, he caressed her face lovingly.
"Theresa, you will always the one in my heart...always."
The blonde woman pranced into the room with a big smile on her face, she rushed to fox and threw her arms around Fox. He just stood there dumbfounded.
