Jessica found herself enjoying the company of Xavier. "We have to go around like this for a moment to greet the majority of the people here," Xavier said in a whisper. "Do I have to?" she asked. As much as she was enjoying the company she was reminded of the tale of the toad in a pot of water that was set to boil. The frog did not know he was being boiled to death but enjoyed the warmth and subtle changes in the water temperature. "This is your first official event since we got married. It's the least you could do" Xavier said. "It's the least I could do. It's a contract. It's just a contract" she whispered as they went. Xavier heard her but what could he say? Assure her that it was more than a contract at this point. Or should he tell her that the money she would get in the end was more than she needed to do? They entered inside and the first person they met was Marcus. Xavier had noticed the not-so-subtle glances he threw her way when they signed the contract. It was obvious

"What?" Marcus asked with a slight stammer that portrayed his confusion. Was there anything wrong in addressing her by her first name? He wanted to be a part of her life and he knew that calling her on a first name basis would make them seem close to each other. "Why did you call my wife by her first name?" Xavier repeated. Jessica tugged at Xavier's hand. She has no problems with him addressing her with her first name. It was her name after all. Xavier saw into the tactics of Marcus. He saw interest in Jessica in his eyes and he knew that he could move in at any time. There was no way he would let him have Jessica."Is there anything wrong in addressing each other by first names?" Gold asked with a small chuckle at the end of her statement. She thought he was being silly for asking such a question with a serious expression. "Yes, there is," Xavier said. His gaze was strong and uncomfortable on both parties as they stood there. "Xavier," Jessica said in a whisper. Xavier ignored

Jessica stared at his hand. She was confused about what to do. Seeing that he had called Xavier by name that must mean he was close to him. She did not want another unsuspecting and innocent man to feel inferior and embarrassed because Xavier decided to do so. "Aren't you going to accept my handshake?" Jason said with a smile. He wasn't pissed that she was not taking his hand. Wasn't it normal for a girl to feel uncomfortable shaking the hand of a man she just met for the first time? Jessica slid her hand into his only halfway and removed it within a split second. A laugh escaped Jason's lips. "Hasn't your husband told you about me?" Jason asked. "Why would I need to talk to her about you?" Xavier asked his eyebrow going up. "Because I am your best of friends and business partner. I have helped you make a lot of money here in Chiachester and also in Crescent Bay""You aren't my best friend. I don't have friends" Xavier said squaring his jaw. "Oh you hurt me deeply," Jason said

They stood and chatted for a few more minutes before Xavier announced that he needed to show his wife to the other business tycoons who were in attendance. Jessica had a hard time bonding and speaking with them. No matter how hard she tried she could barely find a common ground on what to talk about. She saw them turn their nose up when she could not make comments on their political stands or economic analysis. "Finally some peace," Jessica said as she plummeted into the seat beside Leslie. "Isn't it a fun thing to do?" Leslie said in a mocking tone. "Very fun," Jessica said teasing her back. She took the glass on the table and downed the water in it. "Easy or you would have to go to the toilet often," Leslie said as the cup dropped down on the table. "I think I needed that," Jessica said yawning a bit. "Hey ladies" a strange man walked up to the table. Leslie rolled her eyes when she saw him. "What's he doing here?" she murmured as he sat down "What am I doing here? I was in

Jessica was thrilled to be meeting with Chef Liston. She has always dreamt of meeting those high-end chefs and clients and some how she might not have ever met them if she had not come the way of Xavier. "I am a huge fan," Jessica told Liston. "I did not recognize you because of what you've done with your hair," she told him. "Oh well I like to experiment with it" he answered with a smug expression. He loved the attention that he was getting today and more importantly, it was from a beautiful woman like her. "I am a chef too. I will be opening my restaurant soon and I will be sure to send you an invite" Jessica tells him excitedly. He was a celebrity chef and if he happened to endorse her everyone would want to flock there. Maybe this was the greatest publicity she needed. "Oh wow, a food artist? You don't look like one instead you look like a fashion icon" Liston commented. "Oh well I think you are taking it too far" "If you would be sending me an invite I guess we need to ex

The rest of the party went by in a blur. Xavier Brian and Jason had not left the table they had been at all night. They sat down there going on and on about the business they were looking to establish. Somehow to Jessica, it felt like he was just trying to avoid her because of their earlier reaction. Although Jessica had said she would get drunk she did not think it would be possible until the cup touched her mouth.She drank until she could not stay upright anymore. She was slurring but she could not stop talking and drinking."Why did you drink so much?" Leslie said in a fake cry. "Did I drink?" Jessica said in a series of stammers between her words."Yes you did" "Oops," She said and then ended her sentence with a giggle. "What's wrong you with?" Leslie asked confused. She pushed her head that kept going down. "Stay still," she said removing the cup from her hand and putting it on the tray of the waiter that was passing by. "Have someone clear this table please" she added and

Xavier stood up reluctantly and walked slowly to the table. To be honest he knew Jessica was angry at him and that was part of the reason he stayed away all night. He did not want to worsen the situation. Also, how was he supposed to handle a drunk person? He had never had to do something as such before. He had been drunk and he was taken care of by the bartender and the drivers. What should he do? He sat in the chair beside Jessica and held her hand that was pointing to the table. She looked up angrily at the hand that held her finger. The expression on her face softened when she saw that it was him. "You," she said with a hiccup. "You are my husband" she added with a toothy grin. "Yes, I am" Xavier whispered."Come closer," she told him. He moved in closer to her and she beckoned on him to come closer with her hands. She cupped her mouth with her hands and put it close to his ears. Her breath on his neck and ears sent shivers down his spine. He wanted to pull away but strangel

"You are no fun," Jessica said blowing raspberry to his face. He had successfully taken her out of there before she could do anything further to embarrass herself. It was a rare occasion for a person to get drunk and not do anything embarrassing. "I am very sure you will thank me tomorrow," Xavier said holding her in place. She had not been able to stay in one spot since they got outside. Being drunk made her restless unlike her usual calm and collected stance. "Xavier," she said retching her guts out. "What?" Xavier asked when he saw her face. He was afraid that she would throw up and worse of all it might be all over him. "I want to go home," she said suddenly. He sighed in relief when he heard her request. After all, it was not that she needed a place to like urgently. The limo drove up and stopped in front of them. The chauffeur opened the door and Xavier did a lot of work to get her into the car. She sat down with her side and waited for him to get inside. The door close
