CHAPTER 2

Jeanne opened her eyes slowly. Her headache and her body felt no good. She tried to wake up from the bed to know where she was but it was not successful. Her headaches like crazy.

She looked around and the view was not familiar to her at all. She seemed to be in a quiet spacious room with minimal furniture and decoration, showing its modern interior designing. 

It's someone's house, where am I? Jeanne thought to herself.

“Let this just be between us.” Jeanne suddenly heard the sentence from afar. There were more conversations after that but she was too drowsy.

“Morning, miss. So, you're awake,” said a man beside her which she did not realize when he was there. Then, the man walked outside quickly.

Soon, the man came in with another man with brown skin, a tall body and walked towards her.

“Hi, miss. I believe you have woken up. How are you feeling?” The first man asked with care while checking her pulse, temperature and then checking her iv line of normal saline. 

“Who are you, sir? Where am I?” replied Jeanne confusedly with a cracked voice. She surely seemed not well. 

“I'm Dr. Pubba, Mr. Walters' family doctor,” said the first man politely while pointing his hand towards the second man.

“Mr. Walters? Sorry, who?” asked Jeanne in confusion.

Dr. Pubba raised his brows towards Mr. Walters. Ah, they still did not know each other…

Mr. Walters just threw a simple smile. Knowing Mr. Walters, Dr. Pubba just stayed silent and continued to write notes on his papers.

“Hmm, you are having quite a fever. I suggest you rest for two days and you'll be fine. And, don't skip the medicines. They'll help you to get better faster,” said Dr. Pubba with a smile. 

He then excused himself and Mr. Walters followed him from behind. Before leaving the room, Mr. Walters threw his look towards helpless Jeanne and walked away.

After a few minutes, Mr. Walters came back, this time with a concerned look. He then took a sit on a chair beside Jeanne.

“I'm Aaron Walters. I'm the one who helped you with your car. You are now at my house. You fainted last night and you look bad so I bring you home first so that you can have some rest.”

Jeanne became clueless hearing all those explanations as she cannot remember what happened last night. Her memory only lasted until she saw the old man in a tuxedo, which was Harry.

Jeanne still seemed confused, so Aaron continued his explanation.

At the same time, Aaron cannot stop looking at Jeanne. Despite looking pale, her confused face is looking too cute!

But, Aaron tried to compose himself.

“Well, last night, it was snowing heavily and you had no suitable clothes to warm you. We are quite far from the nearest hospital. So, I think it was a better idea to bring you to my house first because I have a doctor here.  This was the best decision that I can think of.”

“Oh...Now I remember what happened,” said Jeanne slowly, in a sad tone. 

“I believe your name is Jeanne Heard? I saw it in your purse because the doctor needs your personal information.”

“Yes, I'm Jeanne. Thank you so much Sir for helping me,” said Jeanne with shining eyes. She felt owed over what Aaron had done for her.  

“Where are we now, Sir?” asked Jeanne curiously.

“At my house, Saint-Saturnin-de-Lucian. And, just call me Aaron. Don't Sir me,” answered Aaron calmly.

“Alright, Aaron. Well, you know what? I think I'm feeling better now. I should make a move,” Jeanne replied cautiously while slowly trying to get off the bed. She did not want to burden Aaron with her presence after all the help that he gave. 

“No, you need more rest. Dr. Pubba said so,” Aaron stopped Jeanne from leaving, insisting that she should stay. He slowly held Jeanne's shoulder and put her on the bed again. 

“But….” Jeanne tried to continue but Aaron cut in.

“Please,” asked Aaron calmly.

“Oh my, I don't want to burden you and your family with my presence, Besides, I think I'm well enough to drive over to Lyon. It's just a 4 hours drive,” said Jeanne while smiling and with a cheerful voice, in the hope that Aaron will agree to her suggestion.

“No, please. I insist. Also, your car is still getting repaired, it should be done by this evening. If you really want to go back, we will depart this evening together. For now, I would appreciate it if you have the rest you need,” said Aaron.

“Also, it's just me, my butler, and my maids in the house,” said Aaron with a smirk while standing up.

“Well, if you insist, so... And, thank you so much for all this. I could not thank you more,” said Jeanne humbly.

Aaron smiled gently as an answer to Jeanne. Their eyes then met, for a long time. Their eyes were both shining in a magnificent way.

They both felt that a gentle feeling was budding inside their heart that they did not know what it was, yet. 

But for Aaron, he became more firm in his feelings towards Jeanne. He did not know what made him so attracted to Jeanne, but it is what it is. 

After so long, Jeanne realized that they were looking for each other for quite some time and coughed slowly to distract Aaron.

Aaron then woke up from his daydream and smiled shyly. Jeanne blushed. 

“Well…” said Aaron shakily. 

He then put the blanket on Jeanne and gave her the sweetest smile she has ever seen before disappearing behind the door.

Jeanne focused her thoughts back on her health. She felt quite a pain in her vagina but her vertigo heads consoled her to continue resting instead of thinking a lot. In just a moment of time, Jeanne was in the dream again. 

In the living room, Aaron was talking to his butler. 

“I don't know how I can act in such a way. I must be too drunk. Hmm...” Aaron left a sign of stress.

“It was my bad too, Mr. Walters. I shouldn't have left you in such a condition,” Harry replied. 

Aaron was thinking to himself. Yeah, all this time he was a spoiled brat and a big-time playboy. However, he just does not know how he can do such a thing to an unconscious girl. The fact that he was confident that the girl is still a virgin makes his heart aches more. However, he cannot deny the fact that the girl is so delicious and juicy. That small body with pale white skin, long black, shining hair yet with a very big, satisfying breast would melt everyone who sees her. If you ask him, he would be willing to do it a second time, but in a more polite manner. 

“I think we should better tell the truth,” said Harry.

In an instance, Aaron wakes up from his thoughts. 

“No, not yet,” replied Aaron firmly. Deep inside his heart, Aaron can feel that he had this soft feeling towards Jeanne, hence he was afraid that he may lose Jeanne as Jeanne discovered the truth. 

Then, silence occupied those two for quite some moment.

It was almost late evening when Jeanne woke up again.

Ahh, I should make a move now, said Jeanne in her heart.

She woke up from the bed and found herself flabbergasted as she realized that she was not wearing her before-worn clothes. She shut her surprise and quickly packed her things besides the bed to move out from the house. 

Upon arriving at the living room, Jeanne saw Aaron was reading a book focusly.

“Ermmm, excuse....”

“Ah, you've woken up,” said Aaron cheerfully, cutting Jeanne's sentence before she even finished it.

“Yup, ermm I think I'm gonna make a move now. I've troubled you a lot,” said Jeanne

“No, you don't. Please stay, it's already almost dark outside.”

“But I have to go back, or not...” Jeanne replied with a dull face. Clear pearls suddenly filled her eyes and rolled down to her cheeks. 

Aaron was quite shocked seeing Jeanne in such a condition. He then offered her his handkerchief and brought Jeanne to a seat. He ordered the maid to make some tea for Jeanne to clear her mind.

Aaron consoled Jeanne, sitting beside Jeanne. Jeanne helplessly leaned her head onto Aaron's well-built chest. Aaron pat Jeanne's hair slowly. Even in such a sad condition, Aaron was sure that he was already head over heels for Jeanne. He then convinced Jeanne to tell what was going on inside her head.

Jeanne, while sobbing, explained a little bit of her sad story to Aaron. Within that very same day, Jeanne later explained how she was played by her boyfriend, getting fired from her work, receiving news that her mom was so sick in the countryside and how suddenly her car broke down on her journey back to her mom's.

Aaron felt very joyous to know the fact that Jeanne is currently single but he successfully hid the feeling from Jeanne's view. He felt that he had a chance. At the same time, knowing Jeanne's story, he thought hard of how he could help Jeanne.

While Jeanne was still sobbing in his arms, Aaron suddenly felt a small feeling of wanting Jeanne when he smelled Jeanne's hair. His lust for Jeanne increased rapidly so that he could feel his heart beat so fast, the crystal of sweats on his forehead and his private part felt wet and tense. 

Afraid that Jeanne might sense the changes, Aaron quickly loosened the hug.

“It's okay, please don't be sad. Lucky for you I am currently looking for a PA. Would you like to try this post?” Aaron asked Jeanne calmly. 

Deep in his heart, he was really hoping that Jeanne would accept the offer as he felt attached to Jeanne.

Jeanne, hearing the opportunity laid before her eyes, directly thought of accepting the offer. The only thing that she had in her head was that she had to find a job to support her mother's hospital bills.

But, something stopped her from directly saying yes. She needed to see her mother first to decide what jobs she could take because at the same time, she needed to look after her mother.

Jeanne seemed unsure and it made Aaron nervous. He cannot afford to lose Jeanne.

He was in love with Jeanne, and the fact that he had treated Jeanne that way in the car when he was drunk made him feel more responsible towards the girl.

“It's okay, you can tell me later if you're not sure about it now. Call me tomorrow morning if you're interested and we'll talk more about it,” said Aaron calmly while passing his business card.

Jeanne also could not contain her excitement directly hugging Aaron that her breast directly attached to Aaron's chest. Aaron was sweating all over again but he tried to control it as much as he could.

“Thank you so much, Aaron. Thank you!” Cried Jeanne while wiping her tears. 

Aaron welcomed Jeanne.

Before they departed to Lyon, they enjoyed a sip of the tea and directly headed back.

In Aaron's heart, he felt relieved that Jeanne might be his PA, he will not lose sight of a girl that he is now head over heels to.
