Jessica was about to tell Edwin what she used the allowance for when he waved her to stop.

"Let it be. You must have your reasons. But then I can't continue to condone this attitude. You have to look for a way to get new clothes because we will be going on a business trip in the next two days"

"Bus-in-ess mee-ting? T-wo days?" Jessica stuttered. How would she be able to get new clothes in two days?

" Yes. That's the main purpose of the wardrobe allowance so you can get yourself ready for a business trip. Now, you can leave to sort out the documents I sent to you" Edwin said, dismissing the dumbfounded Jessica.

All through the day, Jessica was moody and filled with different thoughts. She wondered what she would do.

Jessica decided to look for a solution after work. She concentrated on the job given to her by her boss. She was so focused on her computer that she didn't notice the presence of someone.

"Is your boss in?"

Jessica reluctantly looked up at the person asking. Her eyes met a s

    Edwin couldn't take his eyes off Jessica. She was looking extremely gorgeous and her dress brought out an enticing figure. He swallowed hard to control his desire. He needed to take it slow or else, she was going to run away from him.He already made a mistake with Kathleen the last time, he doesn't want to make another one. To get her, Edwin had decided to stop all those girls from coming to his office."Sir, here are the documents you asked for," Jessica said, placing them on the desk. She wanted to rip off those eyes he used in looking at her but she couldn't. After all, he was her boss."Yes. I hope you remember our business trip. It's been shifted to this weekend, so you have enough time to get ready" Edwin told her as he snapped back to his senses. Although, his eyes were still fixed on her." Yes, sir. I remember the trip and I will make sure to make the necessary arrangements. Any other thing?" Jessica asked, eager to leave as soon as possible.Jessica wanted to leave because

    "Are you in a relationship with the boss?" James asked.Jessica almost spilled the water in her mouth at James's face," Why would you even say that? Please, don't even mention that again. He is just my boss just like he is to you."Jessica, who was still having goosebumps due to the question James asked her, did not notice the smirk on James's face." My bad! You know the rumor about our boss and I just want to be clear so I won't be sacked for sitting with the future boss," James said with a teasing tone.James was surprised at the way Jessica answered him. She wasn't like those girls who swoon around the boss. But his only fear was that she might be the boss's target. Edwin Turner is a known womanizer and it might hurt his ego if such a gorgeous woman didn't give a damn about him. He hoped that wasn't the case." Oh please! If he is the only man on this planet earth, I will rather stay single!" Jessica said, cutting through James's thoughts. Her voice was displeased at being placed w

    "Mom, you don't have to be afraid. My boss is trustworthy. Even if he is not, he wouldn't dare do anything rash," Jessica told her parents."Sweetie, I know you are afraid of losing your job but I don't want you to ever do what you don't want to to keep the job. It's all my fault. If only I had been a better father," her father lamented."Dad…" Jessica said, unable to say anything more. She knew her father always felt guilty but deep down she knew her father had been blaming himself." It's true, Jessy. If only we had been good parents, you wouldn't have to go through all of these. How can we be assured when our daughter is going on a business trip with an unmarried man?," Her mother said, supporting her husband." Mom, dad, I will be fine. You don't need to worry. We are not the only ones going. Besides, I will only need to be around him during official hours. I will have my room and privacy," Jessica said, trying to convince her parents.There was silence for a little while before h

    Getting angry at what he saw, Edwin waited patiently for Jessica to come to his office but it was obvious she didn't care that he might be angry with her. He brought out his phone and dialed a number. He needed to cool off some steam and he knows just who can do it for him."Jane, come to my office," he said, then cut the call.He smirked to himself," I shouldn't be getting angry at her when it's obvious I am only doing it because of revenge. I don't have any feelings toward that girl." But he couldn't keep her perfect figure off his head. She was looking beautiful and seductive and her glossy lips looked so kissable. If only he could just grab her ass and get a hot one right away.As he was thinking, he felt his body reacting to his thoughts. He tried to take Jessica's figure off his head but it wasn't working. He was getting aroused just thinking about her."Where the fuck is that Janet when I need her?" As soon as he finished mumbling angrily, his intercom rang and he picked it

    Filled with anger, Jessica collected the file and left the office. She was determined to finish the work by that two hours so he wouldn't have any excuse to query her again.Getting to her desk, she started sorting out the file while thinking about his behavior in the office. Why would he tell her that she was flirting with the male workers in the office? The only male worker she had contact with was James at the cafeteria and this morning when he gave her a lift. Was he talking about James? But how is that his business? Has she ever complained about the numerous girlfriends he brings to the office?Biting back her anger, Jessica delved into her work.

    Edwin was still in Jessica's office sitting calmly, while Jessica rested her head on the table smiling inwardly. She couldn't believe Edwin would be worried about her after making her do all that work all day. Why would he make her work so hard if he was going to be worried? " But the fact is that he remains a pervert! But I guess he still has a little humanity left in his mind," Jessica thought in her head."He can bring in different ladies but complains about flirting with men on the company's premises," Jessica continues to murmur to herself. Edwin, who was pressing his phone, heard Jessica talking to herself. He wondered what she was mumbling about. Could it be that she was still feeling sick? He stood up from his seat and walked toward Jessica's desk. " Are you sure you don't need to go to the sick bay?" Edwin asked, drawing closer to her." There is no need, sir. I…" Jessica tried to say but was feeling uncomfortable at the close range between them. " Are you feeling better

She quickly delve into the food not minding that Edwin was sitting with her too. She was just too famished to think of anything else. She ate the food very fast yet very neatly.Watching her eating, Edwin blames himself for doing that to her all day. But he was also curious how she was able to maintain her eating etiquette even when she was so hungry. She looked like a well-bred upper-class girl. Someone with a high social status that had been trained. Edwin quickly dispel that thought. How could she come from a wealthy family and still work at a cafe? She doesn't even have money to buy clothes for herself! Instead, Edwin focused on his food so she could be satisfied. He was also hungry.He only took a cup of coffee and he had to work all through the day besides getting laid by Janet. He guessed that must be the

    Getting into her room, Jessica sat down on her bed, with her laptop by her side. She opens the laptop to check her email to see if her boss dropped her any documents to work on. She was checking it when her phone suddenly rang beside her displaying Angie's name. Jessica felt bad because Angie was always the one calling her.She had been too busy these few days that she had forgotten about her friend. It looked like she would have to try and put a reminder on her phone. " He-llo, Angie" Jessica stammered, covering her face with her hand." Hi Jessie, are you okay?" Angie asked, curiously. She had noticed the way Jessica was talking to her. Was she sick or worried about something? That was Angie's thought." Yes, I'm fine, I'm sorry I didn't call you, " Jessica said, feeling guilty. " It's okay, I know you are busy at work, " Angie said, smiling. Then she added with a chuckle," Don't Tell me that's the reason you were stuttering?"" Of course, I am guilty.

"You know, I totally knew about the engagement and I shipped you guys! I gave him all the assurance he needed! You should have seen him. He was a sorry mess." Jessica glared playfully at her. "Oh so you knew and you refused to tell me? I knew something was fishy about the sudden request to go out."Edwin laughed and pulled her closer to his side. Before she could refute it, he turned her and kissed her deeply. Jessica's face went a very dark shade of red and she didn't know where to keep her face after being kissed like that in public."Pervert." She muttered."Baby, your husband to be?

Jessica continued paying him because he had only entered that state because of the kids.Friday before the weekend, Edwin watched Jessica perform all her duties and his heart fluttered. He couldn't take his mind off the fact that she cared about him enough to stay beside him in the hospital, refusing to let him be touched by anyone else except her. She even learned to clean his wounds just so that she could take complete care of him."Why are you staring at me?" Jessica inquired. They were alone at home. "Isn't it time to change my bandages? I've bathed and they have not changed for three days al

    Babe, have you showered or changed since the accident?" Edwin asked."I couldn't leave your side," Jessica answered sheepishly."Well, I'm awake now. Go and shower and change and then you can return to stay with me." Edwin said. Jessica smiled. She went into the second part of the ward without much thought. Not long after, she returned with a different cloth."Have you had your changing materials the whole time?" Edwin demanded weakly.Jessica nodded."So why didn't you just change?"Jessica ignored his question. Couldn't he understand that she couldn't leave him for once Edwin tapped the space beside him. "Come lay with me." Jessica didn't waste any time. She was very exhausted too and knowing that he had survived the gunshot was able to keep her at rest.She lay beside him, careful not to touch any of the bandages or the IVs.

    Once they arrived at the hospital, Jessica watched as the nurses ran out with a stretcher where they carefully placed Edwin. They wheeled him directly into the theatre to prepare him for the operation. Jessica was invited in by the doctor before the operation could commence."Miss, I just want you to sign the documents for the operation and perform the transfer of funds." The doctor said, "There's no need to ask if you want it to be carried out because I can see that you will do anything to save your husband."Jessica tore a check from her checkbook in her purse and signed it. "Here, fill in the amount that covers the entire treatment. I just want him to be fine."The doctor collected the check and the signed paper from her.

    It was morning already. Jessica's eyes were wide open. She hadn't slept a wink all night. She didn't just refuse to sleep, she couldn't sleep. As much as her heart was calmer, she still couldn't digest the fact that it was getting to 24 hours since she last saw her children.Edwin was busy making calls here and there, trying to use every one of his influence to find them.He received a call from his private detective."Hello, Mr. Turner.""Mr. Detective. Tell me you've found them." Edwin said tiredly. "Eh.. we found the location. I'll send them to you. I've also assigned some officers to get there as well. I will also ask you to be careful because that's the outskirts of the city. Anyone who could kidnap kids and take them there could be a maniac.""Alright detective. I'll be on my way right now." Edwin said.As soon as Edwin dropped the call, his phone beeped with a text message from the detective. Reading the location, he went to find Jessica in the kitchen fetching water to drink.

Edwin hugged her. "I'm sorry, let me inform my investigator." Edwin dialed the private investigator immediately. He stepped out to speak to him. "Mr. Turner. I'm quite surprised to hear from you now. I have done what you asked me to do." The man said. "Not about that. Look, my kids are missing. I need you to help me find them." Edwin said. "I'm a computer hacker and software investigator, anything that happens in the physical world is not my job. You need to inform the police or hire a private detective." The man said.
