Jenny was sitting in her office. She had to write some reports about today. Cutter was standing in front of her open door and for the first time today he realised what she was wearing. She wore a skin tight wine-red cleavage dress. Cutter realised that he was captivated by her. It wasn't because she was Claudia before. No it was because of her. Behind her make-up there was a warm-hearted and sentimentally woman. She just didn't show it to everybody. He was sure about that. But he had to warn himself not to dote on her too much. He admired her and he was in love with her even if he knew that she would never feel the same way for him. So he knocked at her door. Jenny lifted her head and asked in a soft way "What can I do for you Cutter?" Cutter stared at for a moment and answered "Nothing….I just….uh…you did a good job… today." Jenny did give him a charming smile and answered "I know….you too." Then Connor and Abby interrupted them. Abby asked " Jenny are you coming for a drink with me, Connor and Cutter?" "Another time. I have to make up for leaving the birthday party of my fiancé." Cutter, Abby and Connor went into a bar. After a few drinks Cutter left the bar and Connor and Abby were alone. Connor thought that now would be the right time to tell Abby what he felt for her but then he saw Stephen and Helen.
Helen and Stephen placed themselves on a chair and Helen took Stephens hand and said "It is out of control Stephen. We have to tell the people." "I know but I will talk to Cutter again. He needs to have a chance to decide."
Abby and Connor couldn't understand what they were talking but they agreed that they had to inform Cutter.
It was late again when Jenny arrived at home. Marcus was waiting for and before she could take off her shoes Marcus started to griped at her "Do you really had to leave the restaurant?" "I am sorry okay. I will make it up to you I promise." "I want you to quit your job!" Jenny couldn't believe what she heard and asked "What?" "I mean it Jenny. I want you to quit." "Why? Do you still think that I am having an affair?" Marcus nodded and Jenny continued "I can't believe that. I am telling you for the last time. I do not have an affair." "Well then quit your job." "No Marcus I won't." Marcus couldn't hold his temper. He was sure that she was lying and he was jealous. Before he could think straight he hit her with his hand right in the face and screamed "Stop lying!" Jenny touched her cheek and couldn't believe what happened. When Marcus realise what he did he started to apologized "Jen I am so so sorry. I don't know what came over me." Jenny didn't say a word. She removed her engagement ring from her finger and threw it to Marcus. She went upstairs and packed her clothes. In the same night she moved into a hotel.
